Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

The lounge.

Wang Yi had barely crawled into his sleeping bag and hadn't even closed his eyes when Jiang Yingying came looking for him.

Wang Yi was a little annoyed. He was already very tired, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended not to see anything.

"Hey, Sister Jiang, here for a refund?" Qi Xiaohao said as soon as he saw Wang Yi close her eyes. "Let me make this clear beforehand, we don't do that seven-day no-reason return policy. These are all genuine jade tiger bones, guaranteed authentic and fresh, steaming hot."

"Sister?" Jiang Yingying couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. "How old are you to call me sister?"

"A freshman, aren't you a sophomore?" Qi Xiaohao said, mimicking Jiang Yingying's accent.

But when Qi Xiaohao said those words, they didn't sound so pleasant.

Indeed, accents are influenced by appearance.

"What did you say? A first-year high school student? You son of a bitch?" Jiang Yingying was extremely shocked.

I thought they were senior high school students, the kind who are about to enter a magic university, but I didn't expect them to be freshmen.

Haven't the first-year high school students only taken one semester of basic magic courses during this year's holiday?

Even if you participate in the awakening ceremony early, right after graduating from junior high school, you'll only be a mage for six months at most.

Six months to hunt down a mid-level Jade Tiger? Are you kidding me? You probably can't even use magic properly when facing magical beasts.

Moreover, magic high schools only start specializing in different departments in the second year of high school, at which point the roles of attack, support, and medical departments become clear.

They're only in their first year of high school, how did they manage to put together a fully equipped mage squad?

"Why would I lie to you, big sister?" Qi Xiaohao said, somewhat puzzled. "I'm not one to pretend to be young. If I'm older than you and still call you 'big sister,' wouldn't I be putting myself at a disadvantage?"

"Are you from Beijing or Shanghai?" Jiang Yingying asked. If it was either of those places, then it would make a lot of sense.

I've heard that in both of these magic high schools, some students become intermediate-level mages in their second year.

Given the educational resources and family background of these two places, it's not impossible if the students have enough talent and effort.

"Lanling!" Qi Xiaohao proudly raised his chin: "I am Qi Xiaohao from Class 3, Grade 1 at Lanling Magic High School. Go ask around at school, everyone knows my name."

"Lan...Ling?" Jiang Yingying's brain froze. What a small place! She had never heard of this magic high school before.

Jiang Yingying was immediately disappointed. It seemed that she had been prejudiced and thought that the Jade Tiger was hunted by them.

Perhaps they were lucky and stumbled upon a jade tiger carcass, since magical beasts don't eat tiger bones.

"Over a million, wow, that's a lot of money! What kind of luck is that!" Jiang Yingying was a little envious and jealous. She had seen it before; the skull of the Jade Tiger had already been opened, and the magic crystal had obviously been dug up by these people.

Tiger bone plus magic crystal, that's worth over a million, and you found it in just one trip out of the base, this luck is simply unreasonable.

"So what's up, Sister Jiang?" Qi Xiaohao saw that Wang Yi was almost asleep, so he didn't want to say anything more so as not to disturb her rest.

"It's nothing much, I just think you guys are really lucky to have encountered this Jade Tiger." Jiang Yingying was no longer going to bring up the cooperation, after all, if they didn't have the strength, and didn't know the importance of things, going there rashly would only harm them.

"What a load of crap! We chased that tiger for ages to kill it, and Lao Jiang almost got killed in the process." Qi Xiaohao still feels lingering fear when he thinks back on it. Poison is just too insidious.

Jiang Yingying remembered that when she saw them before, there was indeed a person in white being carried on the back of someone in black; that must have been an injured teammate.

The injury seems quite serious, to the point that even the team's medics couldn't heal it.

"What? Killed it?" Jiang Yingying suddenly realized and hurriedly asked, "You mean, what you encountered was a live Jade Tiger? Lively and energetic? The kind without a single injury?"

"The Jade Tiger is actually quite listless?" Qi Xiaohao scratched his head. "However, after our attack, the Jade Tiger was covered in injuries, and its tiger skin was tattered beyond recognition. It wouldn't even be enough to make a pair of tiger-skin underwear."

Speaking of tiger-skin underwear, Qi Xiaohao suddenly exclaimed in annoyance, "Oh dear!"

I was so focused on collecting magic crystals that I forgot to tell the King that we should have kept the tiger penis when we were dismantling the tiger bones. That stuff would have been more marketable for making wine.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yingying asked quickly upon seeing Qi Xiaohao's reaction.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just remembered that the tiger skin was damaged too much, and I feel a bit sorry about it." Since the other person was a girl, Qi Xiaohao was too embarrassed to mention the tiger penis.

"So, you really did kill a Jade Tiger in its prime?" Jiang Yingying asked very seriously, her accent completely gone.

"Yes," Qi Xiaohao replied matter-of-factly.

"You guys are that strong?" Jiang Yingying looked at Qi Xiaohao, who seemed very calm and confident, and didn't seem to be bragging.

Could it really be true?

Four such strong first-year high school students! What kind of amazing school is Lanling Magic High School? They must have hit the jackpot!

"Hey, it's just a Jade Tiger. What's so special about that? My brother E can solo it all by himself. The rest of us just play support roles," Qi Xiaohao said, pursing his lips.

That statement contained an element of boasting, which even Jiang Yingying noticed.

However, it doesn't matter. It seems they do have the strength to take down Qingyuhu. This makes Jiang Yingying feel that she is too ignorant and short-sighted.

"Ahem." Clearing her throat, Jiang Yingying said, "Since you guys are so strong, I have a way to make money. Want to try it out?"

"Make money? Make money what?" Qi Xiaohao finally understood Jiang Yingying's purpose, but his interest immediately waned.

Wang Yi, who was almost asleep in his sleeping bag, suddenly woke up and quietly opened his eyes a crack to listen.

"I have some intelligence on the location of a few Jade Tigers. Go and capture them. Of course, I'm providing the intelligence, so it's definitely not free."

Jiang Yingying put forward her conditions: "I only want one magic crystal, I don't want any more, but you can only sell me all the tiger bones, and the price will be calculated at 2,500."
