Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 367 Garrison Mission

After observing the reconnaissance, the two quickly realized that the sea monsters were not beyond their capabilities.

Finally, Pang Lai asked Dean Xiao for a copy of the data to take back to the Forbidden City in the capital for archiving or as a reference later.

"Since you started this mission, why don't you continue to be in charge of the reconnaissance? After all, no one is more suitable than you."

"I will increase the contribution value for the mission, and you will also receive a fixed extra subsidy each month based on the length of time you are stationed there."

"how?"

Pang Lai tried to discuss it with Wang Teng, who happened to be without a long-term mission. Now that the Siren incident had occurred, this came in handy.

"Alright then~"

After thinking about it for a moment, Wang Teng agreed. This kind of mission was considered a relatively easy garrison duty.

This is, of course, relative to his strength; if it were someone else, it might be fatal.

Anyway, nothing bad is going to happen anytime soon. At most, he can be considered as a warning. He certainly won't be the only one fighting the siren.

"Alright~ I'll register you for this garrison mission when we get back, and the Nine-Headed Serpent incident will be resolved."

"I've given you an extra 8 contribution points. Including this temporary mission, I'll give you an additional 2 contribution points."

"You'll be paid 5 contribution points for the garrison mission. Considering the danger, you'll receive a monthly subsidy of 1 contribution points. If the mission period is too long, there will be additional subsidies."

Pang Lai quickly explained the work's compensation to him, emphasizing the word "stationed" in particular.

He suddenly realized that Wang Teng was indeed very useful. If another councilor had been assigned to this task, it would have been difficult to produce results in less than a day.

There might even be sacrifices, after all, what's the difference between running into the siren's lair to scout and running into someone's house to attack them head-on?

But Wang Teng was able to do something so incredible.

Upon hearing about contribution points, Wang Teng's heart stirred, and he automatically began calculating his wealth value. This single wave alone amounted to 15 contribution points, equivalent to approximately 15 billion in purchasing power.

The internal purchase of resources is at cost price, which is basically 30% to 50% cheaper than outside, roughly equivalent to 3 billion in purchasing power outside.

It has to be said that being a councilor is a quick way to make money; as long as you work hard, you can indeed accumulate enough resources to reach the highest level of cultivation.

Of course, the missions that councilors can take on are generally quite dangerous; without sufficient strength, they could very well die during the mission.

"Okay~" Wang Teng nodded with satisfaction after finishing the calculation, after all, the reward for a single garrison mission was nearly a billion in purchasing power.

Purchasing the Star Sea Celestial Vein was a breeze, and upgrading the lightning element to the super-tier could now be put on the agenda. He could frequently use the Three-Step Tower to quickly reach the maximum level of all four super-tier skills.

"If you're satisfied, I'll be leaving now."

Pang Lai temporarily put the siren incident out of her mind. With Wang Teng around and the Shanghai authorities keeping an eye on things, she could basically guarantee there wouldn't be any problems.

He can go about his other business. As the chief court official, he is usually very busy and needs to pay attention to and handle various major events at home and abroad.

He can't handle it all by himself, so he needs other members of parliament to share the tasks with him. Once the tasks are delegated, he only needs to keep an eye on things so that he can have the energy to sit in the chief's position.

Having obtained the desired result, Pang Lai hurriedly left the office.

Dean Xiao's face flashed with a hint of schadenfreude before returning to normal; those in positions of real power were generally extremely busy.

Not to mention the chief councilor of the Forbidden City, who, even if not the top leader, was practically the same.

He can relax in the university, sip some tea, and manage the university's operations; there's not much else to do.

The trivial matters at the academy were no challenge for him at all, far less difficult than the thorny issues faced by the chief scholar of the Forbidden City.

"Wang Teng, now that you're in charge of this matter, things will be much easier. If there are any problems in the sea, just notify the Mingzhu Mage Group."

"Of course, you can also tell me directly, and I can pass it on for you. These are all minor matters."

Dean Xiao unplugged the tablet and put it in the drawer. With such a young and powerful mage in front, things would naturally be much easier behind.

If Pang Lai could think of something, surely he could too?

"No problem~ I'll return the buoys to you first. The magic stones stored inside have probably run out of magic energy. I'll come back to the Dean if I need them again." Wang Teng waved his hand and took out the three buoys from his spatial bracelet and placed them on the ground.

"No problem~ I'll arrange for it to be recharged later." Dean Xiao glanced at the almost intact buoy and agreed without any hesitation.

This guy is really something! I thought the buoy had been chewed up by a sea monster, but it looks like he used some rather secretive methods.

After setting down the buoy, Wang Teng turned around and left the office. More than a month had passed since he left Yueyu Xiaozhu, and it seemed that he hadn't done anything.

He didn't go looking for Leng Qing, but instead used teleportation to quickly cross the boundaries between Shanghai and Hangzhou, returning to the manor.

As evening approached, the villa lights were on, and Wang Teng rang the doorbell.

After a short while, a dark energy suddenly moved out and appeared in the shadows outside the door.

"You're pretty good at using Shadow Cloak!"

Wang Teng looked at Tang Yue, who appeared in front of him as if she had teleported, and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

"Alright, stop praising me. Don't I know my own limitations?"

"Why are you back so soon?"

Tang Yue said she didn't care, but her face lit up with a smile, clearly showing that she wasn't as indifferent as she claimed.

Wang Teng stepped forward and skillfully embraced Tang Yue's voluptuous waist. Compared to the slender waists of Wang Yue Qianxun and Yu Mian, or even Jiang Shaoxu and Lin Yunxi, Tang Yue's waist was more alluring.

"I'll come back when I'm done with my work, and I'll be home for a long time afterwards."

"Recently, I took on a garrison assignment assigned to me by the chief: a large number of sea monsters have gathered in the waters off Shanghai."

"I need to monitor the movements of that huge sirens regularly," he said as he walked toward the villa.

"Isn't that mission very dangerous? As far as I know, there are many kinds of sirens, and some of them are quite deadly to humans," Tang Yue said with concern.

Wang Teng smiled and gently stroked her lower abdomen, then comforted her, "This kind of thing might be dangerous for others, but it's nothing to me."

"After all, with my current strength, even if I face the Sea Demon Emperor and have to suppress all the demons with one hand, I can still remain invincible."

Wang Teng's face radiated confidence. In the past, he might have needed to be more modest, but now he can be more open.

In time, he will definitely be able to hunt down demons at the level of supreme monarchs, whether they are sea monsters or land monsters.

He is now qualified to observe the stage up close in this dimension, but as for performing on stage, he still needs some time to mature.

This also gave Tang Yue a sense of security, since she was the only one among the women who knew some of the inside story, and naturally she would receive some preferential treatment from him.
