Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 189 Ranking Improvement

Lin Junsi glanced at Lin Yunxi and couldn't help but sigh. As the most outstanding junior of the Lin family, she had countless suitors.

However, there are very few who are truly a good match, and the range of choices is extremely limited.

This is the difference between different schools of thought. Unless it's used to recruit a genius like it is today, such opportunities are rare and hard to come by.

Lin Yunxi was able to bring it up because she understood that she didn't have many opportunities and choices left, so she wanted to put herself on this opportunity.

"That alone might still not be enough to achieve our goal; the price we pay is probably not high enough!"

"What else do you want? I can satisfy you to some extent!" Lin Junsi said softly. He knew that if he wanted to win over a genius of this caliber, beauty alone was not enough. At most, it was just a key to pry open the communication barrier.

Lin Yunxi's eyes flickered, and upon hearing this, she understood that Wang Teng had entered her field of vision, fulfilling a certain necessary condition.

Since that's the case, then...

"I need the authority to allocate those space-related resources!"

Lin Junsi's face was instantly covered with pain; those words felt like a sharp blade scraping against his bones.

That was a space-based mineral vein that was recently mined. The quality was quite good, and it was in high demand even within the region.

Because of its extraordinary value, it is extremely difficult for mages who specialize in spatial magic to apply for it. After all, they are all misfits who don't even have control over their magic and yet they want to eat swan meat like toads.

"Wouldn't that be too..." Lin Junsi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after meeting Lin Yunxi's eyes, he swallowed back his words.

"Okay, I agree. I hope you can achieve at least the minimum goal of winning them over; it would be even better if you could poach them!"

Lin Yunxi finally smiled; the matter was settled!

There are differences between countries, and it is very common for people to recruit such magical talents. In fact, every person in a high position usually has their own network of relationships and resource channels internationally.

There aren't many talented people worth recruiting, and the truly exceptional individuals are cultivated by various powerful forces, making them difficult to recruit. That's precisely why it's worthwhile to spend a great deal of effort to win them over.

Resources are always a challenge for the Grand Master. Great powers have their advantages, but the competition for resources is fierce, which presents them with an opportunity.

Small countries have their shortcomings, but the entire country is controlled by a few powerful factions, so resources are not lacking. What they lack are top-notch magical talents.

As for domestic talent, it's definitely not as desirable as foreign talent, especially for family-based power structures. Nobody wants another powerful force to emerge in such a small place.

Domestic talents should just join them and contribute; money and women will naturally follow. If they try to stand out, just cut them off.

Evening~

After a day of rest, the members of the National Team went to the hotel restaurant for a meal.

"The rating for this incident has been released, and our ranking has improved significantly. We have now moved into the top 30 ahead of schedule."

"The mentor will replan the upcoming training locations and tasks, and the focus will shift to our cultivation and treasure hunting."

"Cheers to our ranking improvement!"

Ai Jiangtu, his face flushed and his spirits high, raised his glass.

"Cheers!!!" +11

Everyone was overjoyed to hear this good news; their hard work last night had paid off!

The higher the ranking, the more room for maneuver there is, and even the more likely it is to secure a spot in the Venice World University Competition in advance.

After downing a beer, Ai Jiangtu felt refreshed and his recent frustrations vanished.

"Given our performance in this incident, the mentor team has given us greater freedom, allowing us a two-week stay before heading to the next stop."

"We have the freedom to arrange our time during these two weeks, whether we stay in the hotel to cultivate or go out treasure hunting."

"During this period, the training facilities at Seoul Academy will be open to us. You are welcome to visit anytime you wish."

Ai Jiangtu explained everything clearly. The greatest credit for this incident still belonged to Wang Teng. Strength is everything, and the most outstanding achievement was the opponent's triple kill of the commander-level Ice Armor Demon Wolf.

During his phone call with his mentor, Feng Li's happiness was palpable, clearly indicating that the team was in excellent condition.

"We were able to achieve such good results this time thanks to Wang Teng. I toast you!" Nan Jue filled her glass and raised it to Wang Teng as she sat opposite him.

"You're too kind~ We're all on the same team, it's only right that we contribute!" Wang Teng replied with a smile, raising his glass to drink with Nan Jue.

"I'll also toast you—to be able to suppress a commander-level demon with a wave of your hand is truly admirable!" Dongfang Lie said, taking over from Nan Jue.

Just as Wang Teng put down his wine glass, he saw Dongfang Lie's serious expression, and Jiang Shaoxu naturally refilled it for him.

"You can do the same once your cultivation level is high enough; I'm just temporarily relying on my cultivation advantage."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Lie's smile stretched almost to his ears. He found it particularly pleasing to hear Wang Teng say these words.

When someone becomes very famous and has powerful connections, they will be surrounded by good people.

Within the National Government's ranks, Wang Teng kills commander-level demons as easily as eating and drinking. This is something that even when they reach the highest level of cultivation, let alone now, it will be difficult for them to achieve.

The higher one's mastery of control, the more terrifying the boost to high-level combat power becomes, especially dimensional magic, as demons generally have very low resistance to dimensional magic.

Wang Teng currently has the support of seventh-level spiritual power and profound spatial control, which will amplify his combat power to the limit.

So far, none of the demons he has encountered have been able to make him fight with all his might. He still holds a mind-type weapon with single-target resonance and a chaos-type weapon with true damage.

Most importantly, he himself is about to advance to the level of a monarch-level creature, and he has too many trump cards up his sleeve.

The space magic he currently uses is enough to allow him to sweep away everything, maximizing both his functionality and offensive capabilities, so he doesn't need any other trump cards.

"Old Ai, let's have one too!" Wang Teng was quite satisfied with Ai Jiangtu; at least so far, the other party had been very responsible.

"Haha~ Good, bottoms up!" Ai Jiangtu laughed heartily and downed the drink in one go.

Jiang Shaoxu wore a smile the whole time, watching Wang Teng handle the situation with ease, and she couldn't be happier.

"Nan Jue, let's have a drink too."

The two were old friends, and the other knew her well and there were no messy rumors about her, which clearly showed that she was a qualified best friend.

Nan Jue immediately filled his glass with wine and, without refusing Jiang Shaoxu, downed it in one gulp.

Compared to Mu Tingying and Nan Rongni, Jiang Shaoxu was the female compatriot she got along with the most. She really couldn't get along with those two scions of wealthy families and didn't have much in common.
