Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 173 Emptying the Family Fortune

After returning to his room, Ai Jiangtu took a quick shower and then called his mentor to report on the progress of his training and the performance of his team members.

This is something he needs to report in real time whenever he goes to a new place or experiences an event, so that his mentor can understand the team's training progress.

"Alright, I understand. You can continue with your team training mission." Feng Li's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay~"

Ai Jiangtu hung up the phone and then pondered the progress of his training. Reaching the level of a four-star team in Donghai City would not be possible in a short time.

They need to maintain this high-intensity operation for at least a month, which means they have to do even more this month.

There are a few minor issues that can be handled by Nan Jue; she has excellent coordination skills.

After spending more than half an hour sorting out his thoughts, he temporarily put these matters aside and then focused on restoring his mental strength.

This breakthrough was a step from zero to one, and it was also the most difficult step. Once you take that step, you can continue to practice and master this ability.

……

"Where have you been making your fortune?" Zhao Manyan asked as Mo Fan kicked open his door and came in to buy supplies with him.

"Make a fortune my ass! Tell me quickly, how much money do you need?" Mo Fan said, cursing.

"Two Star River Veins will cost 2 million. As for the control artifact you want, to be honest, you can't get it for less than 2 million. Only I can do it. If you try to buy it elsewhere, you won't get it."

"Seriously, that's at least 4 million. Do you have that much money?"

Zhao Manyan was somewhat skeptical of him. Mo Fan might have tens of millions of yuan, but 4 million... It wasn't that he underestimated him, but Mo Fan, that penniless wretch, definitely couldn't come up with that.

"The money is no problem... I'd also like to ask how much the Star River Magic Artifact costs?" Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing 4 million, and then continued to ask about the price of the Soul Repair Magic Artifact.

"Are you crazy?" Zhao Man reached out to touch Mo Fan's head to see if it was burned out.

"I borrowed money from Lao Wang, I'm not crazy!" Mo Fan slapped the guy's hand away.

"No wonder, I knew you poor wretch, where would you get the money?" Zhao Manyan grinned.

Mo Fan's face darkened upon hearing this; this bastard was so venomous.

"Star River Magic Artifacts come in three price ranges: the lowest-level Commander-level Essence is worth 2 million, the Grand Commander-level Essence is worth 3 million, and the Advanced-stage Commander-level Essence is worth 4 million."

"The effect of increasing cultivation speed at higher levels starts at 3 times and stops at 6 times. The higher the level of the essence and the better the quality of the magic weapon, the greater the effect, and of course, the higher the price."

"This is a friendly price, and it's for quality above normal. The better the quality, the more expensive it is. If you were to buy it outside on your own, you would have to add at least 50 million to this base price."

"Moreover, there are many inferior products outside, and there are even cheaper ones, but the quality will be very poor, they consume a lot of soul energy, and the cultivation effect is not very good. If you don't have the ability to distinguish them, you'd better not buy them outside."

"The styles include necklace pendant and bracelet. Which one do you want to buy?"

Zhao Manyan looked at Mo Fan as if he were a fat sheep. It seemed that he had borrowed a lot of money from the rich man Wang Teng, otherwise he wouldn't have been talking about the Star River Vein and controlling the magic weapon all the time.

"I bought it! Two Star River Veins, control magic artifacts, and a Star River Magic Artifact worth 2 million, I want the necklace pendant type."

Mo Fan gritted his teeth and decided to buy it. He could sell his own things to raise 1 million, and with the 5 million he borrowed, that would be enough.

Mu Ningxue's cultivation artifacts had long been outdated, and she also lacked the essence to replenish her soul energy, so she had been relying on her talent and hard work to catch up.

Now that everything that needed to be made up has been made up, he believes that after breaking through to a higher level, he will definitely be able to make money faster, and it shouldn't be difficult to pay off Wang Teng's debt.

"Okay, since you have the money, I'll order it for you right away. These resources aren't that rare; we still have some in stock."

"Transfer the money to me. I need to explain things to my family. I need money to get them to ship the goods."

Zhao Manyan also sighed, saying that Mo Fan was prepared to empty his pockets in order to woo Mu Ningxue, including the Star River Vein, the Star River Magic Artifact, and the Control Magic Artifact.

And you know what? After all that, their resource supply was top-notch, and not many others could keep up with it.

As for magical artifacts, whether or not one possesses them doesn't have a significant impact on combat. As long as one's cultivation level and strength keep up, everything is still competitive.

Mo Fan took out his phone and transferred money to Zhao Manyan, then exchanged some resources, raising a total of 6 million yuan.

This time, my wallet has been completely drained. The only place where I can make money right now is East Sea City. The more monsters I hunt, the more money I'll get in the end.

……

Donghai City experiences daily high and low tides. Apart from two spring tides per month, there are neap tides every day, which also require defense.

This lasted less than half a day. After the battle, there was still plenty of time to rest, where one could choose to eat, drink, have fun, or cultivate.

Lai Hengbao's statement that reaching the four-star team level is a pipe dream is indeed true.

This requires the team to fight on the front lines every day to hunt monsters; they can't hide in the back and pick up the leftovers. Only in this way can it be achieved.

The first sixteen blocks face the sea directly, and so does the twentieth block, which connects to the sea. Because the number of sirens is limited, they must come to the very front.

This is something only veteran teams dare to do, and it's extremely dangerous.

However, because Wang Teng hunted a commander-level sea monster, his progress was greatly accelerated. As long as he completes the daily defense tasks on time, he will be able to reach the four-star team level.

The environment was still shrouded in mist, with sirens howling everywhere and battle scenes between various squads.

"Breaking Dash!" Mo Fan unleashed his most violent lightning magic at the siren, going all out to earn more money.

The warrior-level sea monster trembled and flipped over under the violent lightning strikes, floating up, and a light green remnant of its soul flew out.

"Ice Lock Bone Crusher!" Mu Ningxue also began to unleash her full power, no longer concealing her strength. With her innate spiritual seed and the blessing of the ice bow, her ice magic was incredibly powerful.

"Spatial Sword Mark!" Ai Jiangtu waved his hand, and the silver sword mark swiftly sliced ​​through the siren's body. With continuous practice, his proficiency became higher and higher.

Sword marks are more practical than rifts. The former is a high-speed attack, casting is faster, and it can even penetrate several servant-level sea monsters. Its efficiency is unmatched by the latter.

"Mental Pierce~" Jiang Shaoxu kept staring, assisting his teammates in the battle and providing timely support to the team members who were ambushed.

"Ai Jiangtu, watch out, the sirens are gathering in your direction~ Mo Fan, be ready to provide assistance." Nan Jue kept adjusting the team's rhythm from the center.

Jiang Yu's summoned beast, Cat Head, was systematically ambushing and hunting the Serrated Green Demon, but its efficiency was relatively limited, a disadvantage due to its small size.

Zu Jiming was also secretly releasing poison, but the effect was the same as Jiang Yu's; he seemed rather powerless against the sea monster.

Mu Tingying's ice magic was far inferior to Mu Ningxue's; her casting speed was not fast enough, so she could only retreat to the back to provide support.

This naval battle environment was not very friendly to Guan Yu and Li Kaifeng. The terrain was too limited, and there was not much room for them to move around. They could only assist Zhao Manyan in defending against and counterattacking the sea monsters.
