Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 229 Mo Fan Returns

After the cooperation was agreed upon, the subsequent mining development work was handed over to the military behind Lin Yunxi.

All he could do was wait. Mining there was a lot of trouble, such as manpower, and being in South America, it was easy to clash with local powers.

These are problems that the other party needs to solve; Wang Teng is not capable of doing such a thing, nor does he have the time or energy for it.

How much you end up getting depends on your sincerity. If everyone is happy with this collaboration, there will be a next time. If not, then cut your losses in time.

As for his subsequent position as a military advisor, he would only do it perfunctorily. In the end, this world is still about strength, and power only exists under the influence of strength.

After staying for a day, Lin Yunxi immediately bought a plane ticket back to China to prepare for the mineral vein development plan, which is no small project.

Mineral resources should be mined as soon as they are discovered; otherwise, they may become someone else's.

Hammi City.

After resolving the issue of mineral vein development, Wang Teng chose to return to the team.

The scorching sun baked the earth, and even the air was hot and dry.

The National Government team was sitting in the tavern. One of their teammates had returned today, and Ai Jiangtu immediately gathered the team after receiving the message from the mentor group.

"Sigh~ It's a pity about that treasure hunt. If Wang Teng had been here, we could definitely have made it into the Gobi Valley and reached the ancient ruins city!" Zhao Manyan sighed with regret.

The others didn't look too good. Wasn't that implying they were all useless?

Jiang Shaoxu, dressed casually, slowly sipped her cocktail and glanced at Zhao Manyan, who was stirring up hatred for Wang Teng. If she didn't know Zhao's character, she would have thought he did it on purpose.

"I think we shouldn't go. I almost didn't make it out that day. Are we really going to risk our lives for an uncertain ancient city?" Zu Jiming said with a grim expression.

"If you're afraid of death, then you're afraid of death. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go."

Jiang Shaoxu spoke with disdain, because this guy always had this "can't go here" and "can't go there" thing on his lips, and he hadn't changed since he started his training.

"You're brave~ Go ahead, I won't keep you company, I don't care about those resources." Zu Jiming grinned, now he had a convenient excuse not to go.

Jiang Shaoxu took a sip of her cocktail, not even bothering to look at him, and instead gazed towards the door.

Guan Yu and Jiang Yu were also tempted. Going on an adventure to find treasure was too dangerous. It would be great if someone took the lead in saying no.

Dongfang Lie squinted his eyes comfortably, a surge of fire magic energy emanating from him. Cultivating in this environment, one day was equivalent to three days.

Li Kaifeng maintained an indifferent attitude, knowing full well that his strength was the worst in the team and that there were dangers in the wild, so he naturally didn't want to go.

Everyone who's made it this far has powerful backers and resources. They haven't even reached Venice yet; running around like this is just playing with their lives.

"Hehe~"

Wang Teng chuckled as he sipped his ice-cold beer. They were all a bunch of shrewd guys. They would stay away from danger if they could, but squeeze in as much as they could for the benefits.

This is so familiar; it's almost exactly the same style of doing things as him.

At their current pace, he dared to say that even at the Venice World University Tournament, they wouldn't be able to unleash any decent high-level magic.

The performance will definitely be no different from the original work; they will all be using mid-level magic skills when they go on the field.

Apart from Jiang Shaoxu, I didn't see anyone using the Star Control Magic Device. They were all just grinding it out over time until the day of the competition.

However, in such intense combat situations, one cannot unleash effective high-level magic, which is commonly known as "half-baked magic".

Mastering the connection between high-level constellations and stars is an issue that must be addressed; only through long-term practice can one achieve the ability to quickly and stably unleash high-level magic.

However, they are still immersed in controlling the stars. They are only at the initial stage. How fast can they control them?

Without the aid of the Star Control Magic Device, is it possible to manage an average of one Star per day? It would take nearly ten months to control almost three hundred Stars.

During the training process, most of the time was spent either traveling or challenging other schools, as well as occasional training sessions. With so many things interfering, it's easy to imagine how difficult it was to maintain control.

"They're all here!"

A figure walked in, looking travel-worn and radiating a fiery aura; it was none other than Mo Fan, who had returned.

"Welcome back to the team!" Ai Jiangtu turned his head and said happily. He really didn't want to deal with the unpleasant things in the team.

"Okay, thank you~" Mo Fan nodded, his face full of smiles. He looked around and was slightly disappointed that no one jumped out to mock him.

"It's been a few months, and your aura has become much stronger." Jiang Shaoxu glanced at Mo Fan, noting that he was much stronger than her.

"Jiang Shaoxu~ Congratulations!" Mo Fan sensed it and found that Jiang Shaoxu's magical aura was not weak at all, and had already caught up with the time when he left.

Then, seeing the conspicuous pendant hanging around the other person's neck, he immediately suppressed the little mudskipper's excitement; this thing was not to be touched.

"What were you talking about, some ancient ruins?"

He needed to make money and find resources, so he was particularly interested in this topic and turned his attention to Nan Jue.

"That's what our mentor told us. About 70 kilometers away from here, there are unusual wind and thunder phenomena there, which they suspect is an ancient ruin."

"However, the Gobi Valley leading to the ancient ruins is inhabited by elemental demons. We went there once and almost got stuck inside."

"Those elemental demons locate themselves using earthquakes. I worked through the night to get a few elemental instruments ready to try again."

Nan Jue gave a dry explanation: none of the people in the group planned to go, but she lacked resources and wanted to go and see.

"Then let's go!"

Mo Fan was excited. As soon as he arrived in Peru, he sensed the unusual movement of the Condensed Evil Pearl, which he assumed was caused by the so-called ancient ruins city.

"But..." Nan Jue opened her mouth, glanced around, and her meaning was clear.

"Alright, I'll organize the treasure hunt. Anyone who wants to go, come with me."

Seeing her looking troubled, Wang Teng stepped in to help her out. Ai Jiangtu had asked him to do this back in Australia.

"I'll go!" Jiang Shaoxu raised his hand immediately with a smile, feeling uncomfortable being with this group of cowardly guys.

"I'll go too!" Nan Jue smiled; the elemental instrument she had made overnight could finally be used.

"I'm going too, I'm just worried about not having enough money!" Mo Fan licked his lips. The Condensed Evil Pearl was in dire need of nourishment, and he was also heavily in debt. He had no choice but to go.

Their eyes met when they looked at Zhao Manyan.

"If you want to go, then go by yourself..." Zhao Manyan smiled awkwardly.

"Hmm...we're brothers, aren't you coming?" Mo Fan narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to flex his wrist, and if Zhao Manyan dared to say no, he would make him remember the scene of the strongman locking up the man.
