Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

"Never mind then, I'll just meditate instead," Mo Fan sighed.

Meditation is a mainstream method of cultivation, but compared to practical training, it is not only tedious and boring but also slow in progress and not helpful in actual combat.

"So, what brings you to Mount Fanxue this time?" Mo Fan asked.

"I wanted to test out my new area, and also to make you happy for me," Xu Fang said.

Mo Fan's lips twitched: "To put it another way, did you come all this way just to show off?"

"You could say the same thing."

"The door is right there, get out of here!"

My own failure is terrible, but my brother's success is even more heartbreaking!

"Look how impatient you are." Xu Fang laughed. Mo Fan's sour and envious look pleased him. He was almost at the level of a super-level awakening.

······

As dusk painted the sky red, Mu Ningxue and the others finally returned from their meeting.

"I didn't expect the Magic Association to be so fair this time, even awarding the Nanrong family's Time Cliff to us!" Mu Linsheng said excitedly as he read Mu Ningxue's form.

Time Cliff is a huge piece of meat, the kind that juicy and delicious when you bite into it, with huge potential for increasing income every day!

“The sales channels must be changed,” Mu Ningxue said.

Previously, the high-quality magic stones from the Cliff of Time were all sold to the Mu Clan. Now that this fertile land belongs to Fanxue Mountain, Mu Ningxue naturally does not want the Mu Clan to benefit from it again.

“But that’s the Mu family. Who would dare to take over? Even if someone else did, they would take the opportunity to drive the price down.” Mu Linsheng said.

"How about we sell them separately?" Yu Shishi suggested.

"That's not a good idea. Magic stones need a stable customer base." Mu Ningxue was also having a headache.

If only economics were as simple as ice magic.

"That's too difficult. As you've seen, the powerful families are all greedy old leeches that devour people without spitting out the bones. And the East Sea Magic Association has so many people like Lin Ze... Unless we can cooperate with the military, but we don't have any connections."

Mu Linsheng said.

"The military?" Mu Ningxue's eyes lit up. "How about Jinlin City?"

"Of course I can. I wanted to invest in Jinlin City's infrastructure before, but I was eliminated in the first round. I wasn't competitive at all," Mu Linsheng said with a wry smile.

He originally thought that with the friendship between Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue and Xu Fang, he could successfully contract the project, but he was eliminated in the preliminary selection.

—As it turns out, most people don't hate privileges themselves, but rather the inability to enjoy them.

"Things are different now than they were back then. We didn't have a single mineral vein in Fanxue Mountain back then, but now we have two!"

Mu Ningxue said, "We can offer a very favorable price, and I believe he won't refuse!"

The more they talked about it, the more feasible it seemed, and the group immediately headed towards Fanxue Manor.

Xu Fang and Mo Fan had already started drinking, accompanied by Mu Zhuoyun.

The large living room was littered with large green bottles. The three men, without resorting to magic to cure their hangovers, simply chug them down one bottle after another.

Seeing Mu Ningxue come in, Xu Fang patted Mo Fan and said, "Get up, your wife is here."

"What wife!" Mu Zhuoyun, who was drunk and dizzy, retorted, "It's not certain yet. Ning Xue won't marry without my approval."

Who do you think you are...?

The two started arguing again. Mu Ningxue ignored the childish old man and young woman and looked at Xu Fang seriously, saying, "I want to talk to you about a business deal, about a mineral vein."

Sizzle~~~~~

A strong smell of alcohol rose around Xu Fang, instantly sobering him up: "Tell me about it."

“Commander Xu, this is a large crystal mine that was originally within our territory, and this is the Time Cliff Magic Stone Mine that we just acquired. Both of them produce high-quality crystals.”

Mu Linsheng handed Xu Fang a document and enthusiastically introduced it, saying, "I've looked at your Jinlin City development plan. There are several factories waiting to be built, and these raw materials are exactly what you need!"

“But we also have mineral veins within our borders,” Xu Fang said with a smile. “Moreover, compared to Feiniao City, which is quite far away, we have a closer and more convenient transportation option.”

Feelings are feelings, and business is business.

Xu Fang is not representing himself now, but Jinlin City, so of course he must do his best to fight for the interests of Jinlin City!

Chapter 420 Who made me a super-level mage?

Negotiations between the two sides should be conducted with magnanimity, in order to demonstrate the city's magnanimity.

After a round of friendly negotiations that almost turned them into desktop cleaning masters, the two parties finally reached an agreement to cooperate.

As for the remaining details of the cooperation, those will naturally be handled by the subordinates.

Their collaborative project is a magic tool factory. The patent is held by the Array Department of Mingzhu Academy, while Jinlin City is responsible for setting up the factory, as well as sales and transportation. The profits are split 30/70 between the two parties.

Fanxueshan and two other clans are responsible for supplying raw materials, with a five-year term and cash payment.

Win-win, mutually beneficial, we're so successful we're sick of it.

This collaboration has brought immeasurable profits to both parties, so both Xu Fang and Mu Ningxue wore genuine smiles.

That evening, the entire Vansu Mountain region seized the opportunity to celebrate their victory and held a grand banquet.

The magnificent chandelier cast a soft glow, reflecting off the gleaming silver cutlery and crystal-clear wine glasses, giving them a captivating sheen.

The air was filled with the aroma of various delicacies, making one's mouth water.

Most of the guests were dressed in fine clothes and behaved elegantly. Xu Fang also changed into a formal suit, which was rare for him. He combed his messy golden hair neatly, and the lady next to him couldn't take her eyes off him.

Xu Fang gently swirled the wine in his glass, listening to others praise how expensive and remarkable the wine was.

The rich aroma of fruit and the aged scent of oak barrels; the subtle, intoxicating sweetness on the tongue—it all transports you to a dreamlike world.

Xu Fang's assessment was that it was not as good as a three-yuan bottle of soda.

He verbally responded to the flirtatious remarks of others, but his body kept moving closer to the buffet table.

There was already someone standing there.

The elegance of the banquet guests made this person appear as vulgar as a wild boar; his friends covered their faces in disbelief, and his relatives wished they could disappear into the ground.

"I told you to eat slower. Look at how embarrassing your eating manners are. This is a banquet, and everyone here is a civilized person," Xu Fang said disdainfully.

Mo Fan was happily munching on a large crab, then freed one hand to give the middle finger: "Come on, your eating manners are usually no better than mine, but today you're pretending to be all high and mighty."

"You don't know anything," Xu Fang retorted elegantly, then picked up a plate and swiftly snatched a perfectly grilled piece of meat.

"Damn it, I've been waiting for ages!" Mo Fan cursed.

"Barbecuing is like life; if you don't get started early, there won't even be any scraps left," Xu Fang laughed.

This meat is said to be some kind of bovine demon, with clearly visible marbling, and it sizzles and emits a strong aroma when roasted.

With a gentle lick of the tongue, the rich, fragrant meat juices flow down the throat and into the stomach—a truly exquisite experience.

—Of course, this stuff is also quite expensive. One plate of it can cover the entire army's daily meal allowance, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to buy it even if they had the money.

Xu Fang's movements looked much more elegant than Mo Fan's, but his speed was even greater.

"Is your vacuum cleaner some kind of sentient being? How do you manage to eat so fast?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, well, it's only natural that I'm a high-level mage, so it's reasonable for me to have better physical attributes," Xu Fang said without looking up.

Mo Fan: "..."

Blanch!

At the same time, on the open-air balcony of Vanscher Villa.

It's eight o'clock in the evening, and a cool evening breeze is blowing, creating a stark contrast with the bustling atmosphere in the banquet hall.

"Aren't you finished eating yet?" the hot woman asked impatiently.

She had been waiting here for a long time, turning away wave after wave of men who tried to chat her up, but she still couldn't see the blonde figure she wanted to see.

"Miss, I wonder if I might have the honor..."

Another reckless, fiery goblin approached, though this goblin really wanted to bury his eyes deep in the magnificent chest and sexy thighs for a good look.

But in order to show his gentlemanly manners, he still forced himself to look up and meet the woman's gaze.

—Then, his body froze, his bulging flesh tensed up at that moment, and he shuffled away like a walking corpse.

Pfft!

His body tripped over the railing, and his obese flesh kissed the ground, creating a wave of flesh.

The woman's gaze grew even more disgusted. Normally, she would have killed this guy who displeased her long ago, but now...

"Come here," the woman said calmly.

The fiery goblin quickly scrambled to its feet and clung to her like a lapdog.

The woman's eyes flashed, and the fiery goblin straightened his back, pulling her into his arms. But there was no lust in his small eyes, only numbness.

"Let's go, darling," the woman said sweetly.

The man reached out his fat hand and opened the door, and the two walked into the banquet hall side by side.

The woman's gaze swept around the hall and quickly locked onto her target, who was standing in front of the food counter, enjoying her meal.

"Xu Fang..."

Believe it or not, the same action would make the fat guy next to me look like a gluttonous goblin, but on Xu Fang, it would make him look like a foodie who loves life.

"It's a pity, if you hadn't killed so many of us, I really would have liked to enjoy myself." The woman chuckled.

With a thought, she led the fat man over like walking a dog on a leash.

······

Xu Fang was focused on preparing an ice cream cone, which was also made on-site by the chef.

Its texture is delicate and smooth, as light as a cloud, yet with a perfect amount of denseness, allowing you to experience its rich layers with every bite.

"It has a spotted milk scent, along with apple and rose notes, and a hint of iced vanilla," Xu Fang said.

"You know your stuff!"

The chef gave a thumbs-up and sincerely praised, "Mr. Xu, this is a recipe I just developed yesterday, and you recognized it just by tasting it!"
