Full-Time Magister: Time Stop Talent, Many Children, Many Blessings

Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

As soon as Lu Heqiu stepped inside, he heard Lingling's casual voice.

"Your name is Lu Heqiu, right?"

"The task was completed well; we finally recruited someone with a brain."

"You can stay!"

Lingling was sitting on the sofa in front of the counter, holding a lollipop in one hand and holding her laptop with the other, afraid that it would slip from her arms.

The old man behind the counter nodded kindly as well.

"Hmm, being able to take down the Black Vatican's squad single-handedly, even among mid-level mages, you're considered one of the stronger ones."

"If you become a high-level mage in the future, you might actually be able to win glory for the country through the National Games."

"Oh, right."

"What was your score on the college entrance exam? Which university did you apply to?"

When Lingling heard Old Man Bao ask this question, her heart skipped a beat. She wasn't worried that Lu Heqiu wouldn't pass the exam, but rather that he had applied to the capital city or one of the best universities.

After all, someone with this level of ability has just finished the college entrance examination and has many options, including universities in the capital.

Lu Heqiu sat down next to Lingling as if they were old friends and answered Old Man Bao's question in a low voice.

"Around two hundred, I've applied to Mingzhu Academy, I'm sure I'll get in."

Lingling breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this answer. Mingzhu Academy was not far from here, and Dean Xiao of Mingzhu Academy was not strict in arranging courses for students, emphasizing the pursuit of diverse magic.

Even if Lu Heqiu goes to Mingzhu Academy, she will still have plenty of time to do bounty hunting, so she won't be too bored.

"Yes, Mingzhu Academy is located in this city."

"You don't need to run around too much because of graduation. You can come and visit more often in the future. If there is a suitable bounty for you at the hunting camp, the old man will have Lingling contact you."

"My surname is Song, and I'm in charge of this hunting lodge. You can just call me Old Man Bao from now on."

Old Bao nodded slightly, his eyes constantly scrutinizing Lu Heqiu before him. His satisfied expression suggested that he had found another promising young man who could protect him for a while.

For a powerful master of forbidden spells like Old Man Bao, who lives in seclusion in the city, discovering and nurturing prodigies is also one of his hobbies.

It can add a lot of fun to their retirement life.

Lu Heqiu nodded slightly in agreement. There was no need for Old Man Bao to introduce himself. He knew Old Man Bao very well. If it weren't for finding a backer, he would never have come straight to Sunny Hunting Grounds.

Lu Heqiu sat for a while, then suddenly remembered something and spoke to Lingling beside him.

"I'm going out this weekend, so I'll take on any easy bounties I can find in the next couple of days."

"Where to?" Lingling stopped what she was doing and asked Lu Heqiu.

"It should be in the suburbs, but the location hasn't been decided yet." Lu Heqiu didn't notice the change in Lingling's hand, but just spoke up intentionally or unintentionally. For him, the bounty of the hunting grounds wasn't that important.

What's truly important is the opportunity to spend time with Mu Nujiao. Only by winning over more and more people will the system give you more and more rewards.

Moreover.

If time-stopping time is rewarded in the future, Lu Heqiu doesn't really need a powerful backer. Lu Heqiu came to see Old Man Bao only because he was uncertain about the rewards the system would give him in the future.

"The suburbs? There have been a lot of sirens in the suburbs lately!"

"The judges have come to investigate several times. If you're going to the suburbs, you'd better bring your communication devices so you can contact me in an emergency."

Lingling asked a question, then handed another earphone of similar shape to Lu Heqiu and briefly explained how to use it.

"Although the signal from these earphones can also be detected by demons, they can still be detected deep in the mountains and forests, which makes it easier for us to communicate. If you need any help, just contact me anytime."

Lu Heqiu took the earphones from Lingling's hand. They had the logo of the Inquisition on them, so they were obviously specially made by the Inquisition. Lingling didn't know how she got them.

For Lu Heqiu, communication equipment that could enhance signals was already quite good.

A device that is completely imperceptible...

It is estimated that it is an absolute forbidden item among military mages, and the production volume is not enough to fall into the hands of hunter mages.

......

The next three days.

Lu Heqiu took on a series of simple tasks and discovered traces of several infiltrated demons in Shanghai, earning a bounty of nearly two million.

As for the Black Vatican bounty from the Inquisition, Leng Qinglai mentioned it once, saying that the Inquisition's procedures were complicated and wouldn't be approved quickly. The amount was substantial, and it was estimated to take about a month.

Lu Heqiu also received the address sent by Mu Nujiao.

[Mu Nujiao: What's it like near the coast in the eastern suburbs of Shanghai?]

[Mu Nujiao: I got information from the Hunter's Alliance that there are traces of slave-level sea monsters here. Even if we don't encounter any monsters, we can still head south into the jungle over there.]

[Mu Nujiao: There will definitely be traces of the One-Eyed Demon Wolf in the southern jungle, but we'll have to find it ourselves.]

Lu Heqiu didn't care about demons at all; he just needed this opportunity to be alone, so he immediately asked a question.

[Lu Heqiu: Okay, who's coming this time?]

[Mu Nujiao: The two of us, along with Liu Chang'an and Zhang Qian from high school—although they're both beginners, one is a fire-type and the other a healing-type, which is necessary for us.]

[Mu Nujiao: I originally wanted to ask that mind-based mage from Class Two for help... but she refused. It looks like it'll just be the four of us this time. We'll try to find servant-level demons, and not go too deep; the danger is very low.]

Lu Heqiu shook his head slightly upon hearing this setup. To dare to go out on an adventure with such a setup only shows that Mu Nujiao's preparations were not very thorough. It would be best if she could actually encounter one or two servant-level demons on her own.

In the wild, anything can happen.

If a demon of warrior level were to appear, this four-person team would be wiped out!

but...

Lu Heqiu wasn't worried at all. Even if a general-level demon appeared, let alone a commander-level one, Lu Heqiu was confident he could survive with Mu Nujiao, and the monarch...

If you encounter a monarch, you might as well just wait to die.

Even if Lu Heqiu could use the time-stop function three times, he still wouldn't be able to escape the attack range of a monarch-level attacker.

but...

Encountering a monarch-level demon in the vicinity of Shanghai is less likely than winning the lottery, especially for this four-person team.

[Lu Heqiu: Okay, shall we set off tomorrow?]

[Mu Nujiao: Okay, we're leaving tomorrow. But don't tell Tutu about this. If she finds out, she'll definitely pester us to take her along. Her family... will never allow it.]

Mu Nujiao was afraid that Ai Tutu would follow them, so she quickly reminded Lu Heqiu.

Lu Heqiu naturally knew about Ai Tutu's family situation.

grandfather...
