Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 421 Renovated Version

Tang Yue was somewhat skeptical of Lingling's words. It wasn't that the other party was untrustworthy, but rather that Jiang Xia, a veteran councilor, was actually unable to handle the demons in that area.

Qiandao Lake is a source of dike stones. Although the quantity is not large, they are of extraordinary value, especially during this period when sea monsters are frequently active.

Neither the city councilors of Hangzhou nor the military would allow such a group of newly emerged demons to disrupt the production plan of the dike.

Furthermore, how could the Eastern Clan remain indifferent to such a significant issue of interest, needing a new partner to resolve it? Is it because they lack super-level mages?

With the launch of the Shanghai Base City Plan, more and more people and forces are gathering in Shanghai and Hangzhou, preparing to build the entire area into a super-large base city.

The already limited regional interests are all the focus of competition among these powerful families. Why would the Eastern family take the initiative to invite Fan Xueshan to participate and share their pie?

Are they really that close?

"Do you need my help?" Leng Qing cut another chilled watermelon, giving one portion to Lingling and another to Apas.

"Ugh...Ugh..." Lingling took a big bite and stuffed her mouth full, muttering in response.

The cool, sweet taste of the watermelon made her squint her eyes comfortably. There were always delicious snacks available whenever she came here, which made her especially fond of the place.

"Contact me if you need help~ I've been in Songcheng lately." Leng Qing couldn't help but smile as she watched Lingling eating happily.

After Wang Teng returned, she no longer needed to travel to the capital to attend meetings from time to time. Given his style of doing things, he could most likely resolve the issue with just a phone call.

"The downstream area of ​​Qiandao Lake is connected to the Qiantang River basin, and there will be a large tide here every half month or so."

"The siren will inevitably surge upstream, Lingling, you all need to be careful on your missions."

Ding Yumin patted Lingling's head. Recently, the sea monsters have been rushing to their doorstep, which shows how complicated the river situation is.

Lingling hasn't become a mage yet, and even with the magical artifacts given to her by Leng Qing to protect her, going out is still very dangerous.

"Don't worry~ With the snake spirit around, she's still very capable. Those mere sea monsters can't catch me." Lingling immediately patted her little chest and said.

Upon hearing Ding Yumin's words, a flash of inspiration struck Wang Teng, and a way to make money quickly came to mind.

"Rainy Sleep~ Will there be many sirens this time the tide comes in?"

Ding Yumin met Wang Teng's questioning gaze and nodded confidently: "Definitely a lot!"

"The islands along the coast have now been occupied by swarms of sea monsters, and the concept of safe zones no longer exists in the near-shore ocean."

"Otherwise, the siren wouldn't have come all the way to our doorstep."

"The only piece of good news is that most of the sirens are servants or warriors; commanders are rare, and we haven't heard of any monarchs appearing yet."

"Servant-level sea monsters are running rampant everywhere, forcing the coastal areas to enter a state of constant alert."

"Songcheng is located relatively close to the inland, but the Qiantang River is just one or two kilometers away from the gate. The rising sea level has caused the water level to rise a lot."

"Those slave-level sirens are basically free to move around and are no longer affected by the terrain."

"With the help of this great tide, it will surely cause the sirens to have a blast. What they love most is to push the tide forward, submerge a large area of ​​land, and then prey on it."

"Songcheng will probably not escape unscathed either..."

Ding Yumin spoke with a somewhat solemn tone, explaining that this was the siren's advantage in terms of terrain, using the power of nature to propel itself forward. In the water, the siren's fighting power was extremely strong.

After hearing this, the women turned to look at Wang Teng, who seemed to be deep in thought. Was he planning to do something again?

Wang Teng didn't disappoint them. His furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and he calmly smiled, saying, "I have a fantastic way to make money!"

"What kind of way to make money?" Jiang Shaoxu asked with a curious expression.

Perhaps because she's used to being a secretary, she's more sensitive and interested in the word "money."

Wang Teng didn't intend to keep anyone in suspense and quickly organized his thoughts before speaking them aloud.

"What if I captured a few commander-level sea monsters, enslaved them, and then guarded important positions, specifically for hunting sea monsters?"

"How about we just sell the siren's corpse on the spot?"

"The siren's corpse is quite valuable. We can easily replicate the experience gained from the Sea Battle City; it's a risk-free business!"

"If the selling price is cheap enough, we don't even need to pick them up. Whoever buys them can pick them up. We just need someone to guard the outpost and wait to collect the money."

"Tang Yue, you can contact your uncle and ask if he's interested in participating. After all, we need some manpower to guard the stronghold."

"This way, we not only make money, but also reduce some of the defensive pressure on the Guardian Mages, killing two birds with one stone."

The crowd listened to his fantastical plan that seemed to kill two birds with one stone, and it looked wonderful. But could a commander-level siren be enslaved?

"This is amazing!" Tang Yue exclaimed excitedly.

She had no doubt that Wang Teng could enslave a commander-level sea monster, after all, he had never joked with her about such a thing.

"Big tycoon, no wonder you're so rich, you're the new-age slave owner!"

Lingling stared at him with her bright green eyes, and then, completely convinced, raised her little hand and gave him a thumbs up.

She gained strange new knowledge once again, realizing what it means to make money without any cost and what it means to have no bottom line in terms of methods.

Enslaving commander-level sea monsters to help him hunt other monsters, and then selling their corpses after the hunt, there's no sea monster that can't be sold as long as the price is right.

He just waited to collect the money the whole time; he could earn as much as the tide lasted!

Not only did he contribute to resisting the sea monster, he could even gain a good reputation.

This kind of outlandish plan really makes money while lying down and also gains fame.

How can there be such a lazy person? This plan doesn't seem like something an ordinary person could come up with; it's clearly the work of a habitual offender.

"Haha~ You flatter me, you flatter me!" Wang Teng chuckled and waved his hand modestly in response.

Leng Qing smiled and raised the corners of her mouth, her gaze towards Wang Teng carrying an inexplicable meaning. The way she spoke of enslavement without any restraint sounded very casual.

Having been familiar with Wang Teng's capabilities, she wasn't particularly surprised by this way of making money, and it was indeed very practical.

"This has a very promising future! Even with large-scale sales, a slave-level siren can easily fetch 20,000 to 30,000, while a warrior-level siren can easily fetch 2 to 3 million."

"Judging from the number of sirens swept up by the tides, they are definitely numerous. We can make a fortune from them!"

"The only problem is that we need to communicate well with the buyers, but that's not an issue. Currently, all parties have the money but can't buy the raw materials."

Jiang Shaoxu went through the plan in his mind and quickly came up with this simple and easy way to play. The only difficulty was how to enslave the commander-level sea monster.

She had a slight idea of ​​how to do this step; mind magic could indeed achieve the possibility of enslavement.

The only challenge lies in maintaining the enslavement operation for an extended period, and even controlling multiple demons simultaneously—this is something she cannot do.
