Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 182 Demon Cub

With plenty of free time today, everyone can do whatever they want.

Ai Jiangtu and some others stayed at the hotel, while Zhao Manyan had already slipped away at some point.

Wang Teng led Jiang Shaoxu to the resource market, since every place is different and there might be some rare resources that are not commonly found.

On the top floor of the World Tower, Wang Teng and Jiang Shaoxu arrived just in time for a small auction.

The entire venue was circular, with the auction stage in the very center and a passageway connecting it to the backstage area.

"Welcome, everyone! Our weekly mini-auction is now officially open!"

The host spoke fluent international English and pulled down a red cloth covering the display stand next to him.

"Let's take a look at the first item up for auction. This is a rare and top-quality ice-type spirit seed. Through it, we can almost see the magnificent scenery of ancient glaciers."

"This spirit seed amplifies magic by 2.5 times and has the added effect of freezing, which can greatly enhance the power of ice magic."

"To kick things off off strong, its starting price is 25 million! Each bid must be at least 1 million higher! Bidding begins!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, the prices on the screen quickly started scrolling.

"Twenty-six million~"

"Twenty-seven million~"

……

"Thirty million! The latest price is thirty million, thirty million for one time!" the host shouted excitedly. This price was already at a very good level.

The prices scrolling on the screen have temporarily stopped here. Everyone is not stupid; the price of spirit seeds does not fluctuate much.

Wang Teng reached out and entered a number on the tablet in front of him, then pressed the confirmation button.

"Oh! Thirty-three million! The latest price has reached thirty-three million!"

"Thirty-three million once! Any bids higher?"

"Top-grade ice-type spirit seeds are extremely rare resources; once you miss them, you're unlikely to encounter them again!"

"Thirty-three million twice!"

"Thirty-three million three times! Congratulations to VIP customer number 69 for winning the bid for the spirit seed. Our staff will hand it over to you immediately."

"Next, let's look at the second item, the Nebula Magic Artifact. Its essence is derived from the advanced-stage Battle General Ice Armor Demon Wolf."

"This Nebula Magic Artifact is a top-tier Soul Artifact, with a starting bid of 60 million and each bid increment of at least 1 million!"

As the host introduced the items, a beautiful woman standing nearby carried the spirit seeds down, while another beautiful woman carried the auction items up.

"Why did you buy an ice-type spirit seed?" Jiang Shaoxu turned to look at Wang Teng with a puzzled expression. This guy didn't have any ice magic.

"I'll buy it for you~ You play with mind magic all day long, but you haven't even gotten a spirit seed in ice magic yet. It's such a waste of ice magic." Wang Teng said, pinching her smooth face.

"I'm content with just mind magic; I can't handle other magic types, and I'm too lazy to bother with them."

"Besides, I don't need to go to the battlefield. Even if I put a spirit seed into ice magic, it won't be of much use to me."

Jiang Shaoxu shook her head slightly and pulled her fingers away. She wasn't interested in magical combat; she'd rather spend the time and money shopping for clothes.

This is also why she majors in the Mind Magic system and doesn't play other magic. If she wants resources, she can easily get an Ice-type Spirit Seed.

Mind magic is enough for her.

"What if the opponent has a magical artifact that resists mind magic?"

"Are you planning to stand there and take a beating?"

Wang Teng observed that Jiang Shaoxu's spoiled personality was coming through. Even though she was easy to get along with, it didn't mean she didn't have a personality.

She has probably been surrounded by praise since birth, which has shaped her into this kind of person.

"That's why I regret not using the guiding stone. It would have been so much better if I had awakened a wind element or even a shadow element."

Jiang Shaoxu's face showed a helpless expression. When he advanced to the intermediate level, he underwent a random magic awakening and awakened the ice element.

That's why she was the slowest when running away, and that's how Wang Teng saved her last time.

Because of this incident, she unknowingly grew closer to Wang Teng, and she was still very grateful for his life-saving grace.

Then, after a month of training on the naval battlefield, the two gradually became familiar with each other, and before long, that kind of thing happened.

"Take it~ Now that you've awakened, cultivate diligently. Who knows, it might save your life someday."

"As for the magic you want, now that you've advanced to a higher level, you can just use a guiding stone."

Wang Teng accepted the ice-type spirit seed from the beautiful woman, paid for it, and handed the container containing the spirit seed to Jiang Shaoxu.

He practically gave Mu Ningxue a Star River Vein for free, so he naturally couldn't ignore Jiang Shaoxu either; giving her a spirit seed was a way of showing his care and attitude.

In truth, he understood these second-generation rich kids all too well. That's just how the world is; even forbidden spells have lifespan limitations.

In the face of lifespan limitations, everyone is equal, whether you are an ordinary person or a forbidden spellcaster.

Those powerful families then tightened their belts, focusing on developing reliable core members and not wasting a single resource.

For most wealthy people, cultivation is of little significance. If it's not used to ward off demons, it serves no other purpose than to show off.

High-level mastery is basically the ceiling of their magical cultivation.

If magic could extend lifespan, that would be truly terrifying; the competition would be many times more intense.

Jiang Shaoxu happily accepted the spirit seed; since he had given it to her, she naturally couldn't refuse.

People nearby looked at him with goodwill, especially when they saw this young man who would give them gifts worth millions.

Such extravagant behavior reveals his immense wealth and is typical of a spoiled rich kid.

South Korea is geographically close to the island nation, and its people are deeply influenced by hierarchical concepts. Therefore, without knowing the backgrounds of these two young people, they were both extending goodwill.

As the auction continued, it soon came to an end, with the final items up for auction.

"This is the last item up for auction today, and I believe some VIPs have come specifically for it."

"Alright, let's cut to the chase!"

The host walked to the display stand, where a square object was placed, and the roar of a wild beast could be heard coming from inside.

sigh~

As the red cloth covering the cage was lifted, an exquisite cage was revealed, inside which a wolf-like cub was tearing at the cage.

The cage bars were covered with traces of frost, and wisps of frost mist drifted by.

"You're not mistaken, this is indeed a Glacier Armored Wolf cub, with the potential to reach the monarch level!"

"Gentlemen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, especially for Summoners!"

"The starting price is 100 million, and each bid must be at least 10 million higher! The auction begins now!"

With an excited expression and a trembling voice, the host announced the start of the auction.

The prices on the screen started scrolling, and the bidding was increasing very quickly, clearly indicating that cubs with monarch-level growth potential were in high demand.

"Are these guys crazy?" Jiang Shaoxu frowned slightly.

She knew that the Ice Wolf's territory stretched from the Tian Shan Mountains all the way into South Korea.

A monarch-level cub is not so easy to obtain; one must also face the revenge of demons.
