Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

"Oh, right, there's something else." Seeing that Old Man Bao was about to leave, Wang Yu quickly stopped him: "That Xiao Ding outside will face a fatal disaster within two or three years, but I don't know the specific reason yet. I suggest he be careful."

Old Bao nodded, exchanged a few words with Xiao Ding outside the door, and then hurried upstairs. Wang Yu guessed that he was eager to use his connections to verify those earth-shattering revelations.

"I hope we can contain the Black Vatican more," Wang Yu thought. Actually, when he first awakened his magic last year, he had considered how to use his abilities to help Bo City. His original plan was to use his super-fast cultivation speed to directly contribute to the Bo City incident. However, after coming to Shanghai and broadening his horizons, he thought of other methods. One of the safest options was to seek help from a powerful figure, such as Old Man Bao, or Song Qiming. Under the current circumstances, this forbidden spell mage could easily protect him, a mere beginner.

After Old Bao went upstairs, the two men outside came in. Xiao Ding glanced at the employment agreement that Wang Yu had already signed, and smiled gently at Wang Yu, saying, "Welcome to Qingtian Hunting Agency. The old man asked me to take good care of you during this time."

The twin-tailed loli was somewhat surprised: "Grandpa actually recruited a beginner mage?" She then approached Wang Yu, feigning a fierce expression: "From today onwards, you're my little brother. There are a few rules for being my little brother, the first being..."

"Junior sister, stop fooling around," Xiao Ding tapped the little girl's head. "Your grandfather instructed that Junior Brother Wang Yu should study at the hunting camp for a while. Tonight, you should prepare some of the hunter knowledge unique to our hunting camp and give it to Junior Brother later."

"Hmph." Lingling pouted and went upstairs again. Xiao Ding then showed Wang Yu the Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

"Junior brother, the first floor of our Qingtian Hunting Grounds is actually a coffee shop, but it also has a lot of good tea, many of which are from the old man's private collection. There's also a kitchen over there, and a bar here. Our senior brothers and sisters in the hunting grounds, except for Lingling, can all do one of the following: brew tea, hand-drip coffee, mix drinks, or cook. Senior Sister Leng Qing is an all-rounder. We all say that if she didn't become a hunter, she would run a coffee shop on the first floor, and the business would be quite good."

"The second floor is our archive, which contains a lot of old paper documents. Be careful when you look them up, or Senior Brother Dasheng will get angry with you."

"The third floor is the old man and Lingling's home. Our room is on the fourth floor. Junior brother, I'll take you to your room."

Xiao Ding truly embodied the demeanor of a senior brother, acting like a gentle older brother as he showed Wang Yu around the rather large villa of Qingtian Hunting Lodge. It didn't seem like they had only known each other for an hour and exchanged a few words. Wang Yu arrived at his room at Qingtian Hunting Lodge, which even had a private bathroom and his own balcony—the conditions were truly excellent, befitting Shanghai's most renowned private hunting lodge.

"Junior Brother Wang Yu, the old man instructed me to tell you that you should stay here and study peacefully for the next week." Xiao Ding looked a little embarrassed. This guy is really considerate of others.

"It's alright, it's alright, Old Man Bao already told me. By the way, Senior Brother Xiao Ding, I see there's a kitchen downstairs, so who usually cooks here?" Wang Yu changed the subject somewhat awkwardly.

"If Senior Sister Leng Qing is here, she'll cook; if she's not, I'll cook. Of course, if neither of us is here, we'll probably just order takeout." What a great opportunity! This Senior Brother Xiao Ding is such a good family man.

Wang Yu smiled and took out some chilled red-striped crab and water droplet clams from his spatial ring. "That's perfect, Senior Brother Xiao Ding. I recently got some seafood while completing bounties. How about we have this for lunch today?"

"Alright, Junior Brother has even prepared the ingredients, how could Senior Brother refuse? Just wait here, I'll call you when it's time to eat." Senior Brother Xiao Ding took the seafood and prepared to go downstairs to start cooking.

"Senior brother, take me along. I'll help out and learn how to cook these shelled things."

In short, Wang Yu's leisurely life at the Qingtian Hunting Grounds has officially begun!

…………

After dinner, Wang Yu made himself a cup of coffee, went upstairs to claim an old rattan chair, and started looking through the study materials Lingling had collected for him on his tablet. Lingling had thoughtfully divided the materials into several categories, such as mage personal cultivation, hunter wilderness survival, terrain, and demons, and even made a study plan for him. It seems this little girl is quite considerate, even if she's a bit arrogant.

Brother Xiao Ding's cooking was truly excellent; the spicy stir-fried clams and steamed crab were both delicious, and I ate a little too much without realizing it. The red-striped crab is said to have nourishing effects on fire mages, but Wang Yu didn't feel any. However, the water droplet shell's effects on water mages were already apparent. Wang Yu felt that even though he wasn't meditating, his water-elemental stardust was constantly being nourished by something. Goodness, it's a pity I didn't get any wind-elemental nourishing ingredients this time; otherwise, my wind elemental power might have directly reached the peak of the initial stage and I could have started trying to break through to the intermediate stage.

The relaxed and leisurely life continued. Xiao Ding and Lingling went on a mission, so Wang Yu would bake water droplets in the kitchen and eat one every day, healthy and happy. His water-element cultivation, thanks to the nourishing food and the extra time he spent cultivating, quickly caught up with his wind-element cultivation. When Wang Yu tested himself, he found that his speed in casting Wind Track and Water Control had reached just over one second, approaching or even surpassing many mid-level mages.

During this week, Old Man Bao went out early and returned late every day, which amazed Xiao Ding and Lingling. In their words, Old Man Bao was usually very lazy, but they didn't expect him to be more diligent than them, the hunters who were working, these past few days. Lingling even guessed that her grandfather might have found a suitable partner, but before she could finish speaking, Xiao Ding knocked her on the head.

In short, when Old Man Bao took the initiative to talk to Wang Yu, Wang Yu knew that everything he had said had been verified by Old Man Bao.

"The two things you mentioned. First, the top-secret research the military is conducting, the demonic system. They've already killed over sixty test subjects, all death row inmates, who died from their spiritual world being completely drained by demons. But they probably haven't realized it yet. So, it'll probably be a few more years before that research group comes up with the idea of ​​using naturally dual-elemental mages as test subjects. On this matter, I'll vouch for you." Old Bao started smoking a cigar as soon as he returned, which was quite different from his previous stereotypical image of a refined old man.

"The second thing is that the Lingyin Tribunal had previously suspected that the Black Vatican was plotting something in Bocheng. I have already informed Tang Zhong, the presiding judge of the Lingyin Tribunal, of the information you provided as anonymous news. I believe they will not alert them."

Hearing this, Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After transmigrating to this world, the heaviest burden on his shoulders finally seemed to have been lifted.
