Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 228 Magic Stone Mine

"Listen to me, Will!"

"I'm not giving up, but we weren't prepared enough and need to go back and buy new equipment."

"As you can see, we can't get in right now, even if we know there are mineral veins inside."

"I think..."

"Stop! Smith, it's not about what you think, it's about what I think! I won't give up on my contracted beast!"

Will's anger flared up again. How was he supposed to mine the veins without a contracted beast? Was he supposed to do it himself? What a joke.

Smith helplessly lowered his hands, his eyes wide with rage at the sight of the mine, and he wouldn't listen to a word Smith said.

He could roughly guess what the other party was thinking: digging here was like having a gold mine right in front of them, and pangolins were the best tool to dig that gold mine.

"Alright... Will, I have another magical armor here that can help you go inside and take your companions with you."

Smith, with a helpless expression, pulled out a new magical armor, though it didn't look to be of very good quality.

"Smith, you're a vampire..." Will smiled, immediately took the armor and marked it, then put it on.

"If you had taken it out sooner, I wouldn't have been so agitated. You have to trust me, we are the best partners!"

Patting Smith on the shoulder, Will smiled and walked into the depths of the cave, blue-purple lightning arcs constantly striking his armored magical artifacts.

Will felt a tingling numbness throughout his body, and his brows furrowed. It was truly a tattered magical artifact. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

That bastard tried to fool him with defective products; he deserved to die!

Once he retrieves his contracted beast, it will be time for revenge.

Smith watched Will rush straight into the depths of the cave, a smirk playing on his lips, and made a cross gesture with his right hand in front of him.

"Will, you're my best buddy today. I wish you and your friends will always be together."

"Mental puncture!"

An invisible spiritual force entered Will's mind through the Thunder Arc Cave.

Will, who had just put away his contracted beast and turned around, was met with Smith's attack. He felt as if something had pierced his brain, and a sharp pain instantly spread through his mind.

My brain feels like it's exploding!

puff~

He only managed to hold on for a single breath before staggering and collapsing to the ground, the lightning arcs inside the cave still relentlessly bombarding his body.

Smith squinted and waited in place for a full five minutes, watching the armor shatter and the body burst into flames.

Will won't rest easy until he's completely dead; the fewer people who know about this, the more valuable it is.

"What a brilliant underworld collaboration!"

Wang Teng appeared silently behind Smith and kicked him in the buttocks.

Bang~

"Oh my god!"

Smith's face contorted as his body flew out uncontrollably, crashing into the wall deep inside the cave, splattering blood everywhere. His body was so badly damaged that it was impossible to pry it off. The impact even caused the cave to vibrate dully.

In no time, violent arcs of lightning covered his body, and his clothes were quickly charred and sparked, bursting into flames in a short time.

Powered by the lightning arc, the two flames burned ever brighter, and the sounds of thunder and fire grew increasingly intense.

"With this intensity of lightning arc, it seems this area has stored a considerable amount of lightning; the mineral veins should be of good quality."

Wang Teng propelled the spatial fluctuations deeper into the earth, and with the continued vibrations, he quickly reached a depth of several hundred meters.

In just a few breaths, they traversed several kilometers, encompassing almost the entire dark region, yet still found no discrepancies; the entire area contained no hollows.

"We can't jump this time, we'll have to stick to mining honestly."

"But……"

Wang Teng found it a bit troublesome; this kind of digging work was clearly not suitable for him. How much could one person dig?

He was not entirely sure what the mine was like inside, but he felt there was something there.

You can already see lightning-type magic stones in the outer area; it must be even better inside.

The key is that this location is excellent. There are no burrowing demons nearby, probably because they couldn't withstand the bombardment of the lightning arcs, so only lightning-type demons have settled here.

"It's time to contact the forces behind us and see if they have the capability to take it over."

Wang Teng immediately thought of collaborators. This kind of resource cannot be developed by an individual. Currently, the four forces that can cooperate are Judge Tang Zhong, Dean Xiao, Lin Yunxi, and Jiang Shaoxu.

The trial committee is his base of support, where he enjoys the highest level of trust, but it is also easy for most of his resources to be taken away, since it is an official institution.

Dean Xiao represents Mingzhu Academy and naturally has the ability to cooperate in development. However, there are many powerful families involved, making it easy for resources to be compromised.

Lin Yunxi is his collaborator, representing the military, and is best suited for developing resources and mining, but currently his level of trust is not very high.

Jiang Shaoxu is the same; cooperation is possible, but they might subcontract it out, since mining isn't really suitable for them.

Few can remain unmoved by a lightning-type mineral vein; they will inevitably try every means to get a share.

His current position and background are not high enough to protect himself, but they are not enough to protect this huge mineral resource.

He was well aware that there was even a possibility of being kicked out.

"The collaborator cannot be too powerful; they must be within my capabilities."

Wang Teng didn't want to ruin the promising situation he had built up due to resource issues, so he quickly weighed the options and soon came up with a suitable partner.

I glanced into the depths of the cave, where everything had been burned to ashes and the flames had died down.

He turned and left, quickly walked out of the cave, found a stone nearby, moved it over and blocked the cave entrance.

He teleported to a nearby peak, took out his phone, and looked at the already dimly lit sky. The visibility in the vicinity was sufficient.

They took pictures of the surrounding terrain, and with these photos as a reference, anyone could easily find the cave entrance.

After finishing these tasks, Wang Teng left satisfied.

Two days later.

Lima Airport Hotel.

Wang Teng held Lin Yunxi, who was covered in sweat, on the sofa, admiring her swaying figure.

"I'm leaving the mining of this vein to you."

Lin Yunxi nodded with a blush, her breathing a little labored, but her face was full of joy. She hadn't expected that it would be such a short time before the two of them started their first collaboration.

The last investment was a very risky move, and I even lost everything.

But today it has proven that investing is very meaningful.

"Don't worry, we will do our best. Based on your description, that place isn't too difficult to develop."

"The vein looks like a large lightning-type magic stone vein, which has great development potential."

Lin Yunxi also had some knowledge of the mineral vein. After looking at those photos and descriptions, she made a rough prediction.

"Of course I trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have notified you to come over immediately."

Wang Teng played with the smooth waist, feeling quite pleased. In the end, he still chose Lin Yunxi, even if he suffered a loss in this collaboration, it didn't matter.

After all, he already possessed a considerable amount of space-type resources, which were not much inferior to those of the lightning-type mine. This could be considered an experiment.
