Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 46 The Path of Special Admissions

Throughout Bo City, everyone appeared to be putting in effort, but a significant portion were simply slacking off, with the military mages responsible for defending the city bearing the brunt of the problem.

After all, defending against demonic attacks is the primary task of military mages. If they fail to do so, they will lose face. For high-level mages, especially those in high positions, face is sometimes more important than the lives of their subordinates.

This is why Mu Zhuoyun hesitated for a long time and couldn't kneel down at the Mu Family Manor, because kneeling would mean withdrawing from the top circle of Bo City.

Naturally, others looked down on him.

This time, Mu Zhuoyun simply decided to play the coward. After all, he had already lost face, and his family had even become involved with the Black Vatican, which was going to be the death of him.

Zhan Kong and the others had a falling out over recruiting Mo Fan, so this scene naturally occurred when they were putting in their efforts.

Zhan Kong went to kill the commander, but he actually brought a group of mid-level mages with him. This was simply a desperate move. But could he hold a grudge against the other high-level mages?

That doesn't seem to work either. When he gave the order to forcibly suppress everyone's voices, he must have thought that one day, in an emergency, no one would help him!

The military sorcerer risks his life to kill demons, while other forces kill if they can, retreat if they can't, and run away if they can't hold their ground. That's human nature.

Fighting demons is only a small part of a mage's life; internal strife is the norm. After all, there are always people who use their strength and power to oppress others. When resentment accumulates, it would be strange if there wasn't internal conflict.

Everything is for resources, so this world is cruel, and there is no absolute right or wrong.

Tang Yue gazed at Wang Teng, who was dressed in sportswear, with a mesmerizing look. That's it, this man is charming enough, at least to her.

"It seems the matter is settled. Reinforcements may not arrive until tomorrow."

"I'll go directly to the special admissions program for the Magic College Entrance Examination; I won't take the unified exam."

"For the foreseeable future, I will stay at Mingzhu Academy. The more people in the environment, the better for me."

"If you need anything, you can call me, or buy a villa nearby and settle down. Anyway, you'll be spending a lot of time in Shanghai in the future."

"Sometimes, I also need a quieter environment."

Wang Teng sat down on the sofa chair by the bed, crossed his legs naturally, leaned back, and rested his left hand on his cheek.

"Forget about buying a villa, let's save some money. I've had my uncle keep an eye on Star River Magic Artifacts for a while now. If the quality is good, they won't be cheap."

"We've already heard the news. Once it's made, we need to buy it immediately; this thing is in high demand."

"This is something that both you and I can use."

"Especially since there is a Three-Step Tower in Pearl Academy, if you have the opportunity to enter and wear a Star River Magic Artifact, your cultivation speed will be extremely fast."

"Furthermore, according to you, we will most likely stay at the high level for a long time, so it is necessary to purchase Star River Magic Artifacts to increase cultivation speed and save time."

"I'll come to you if I need anything. Anyway, Songcheng is very close to Shanghai, and the transportation is convenient. You can come anytime during your holidays."

When it comes to resource allocation, Tang Yue is very clear about it. She'll worry about enjoying herself later; right now, she wants to spend money wisely.

Wang Teng doesn't care about money, but she can't, because she manages the resource channels and must prioritize his cultivation.

Wang Teng hasn't even started cultivating demonic artifacts yet. Ordinary ones are pretty useless, and high-quality ones are hard to come by; they're mostly circulated internally.

This makes it necessary to save money so that once you encounter an opportunity, you can immediately buy it through connections and never let it enter the market.

Most of the items that are leaked out are substandard, which greatly reduces cultivation efficiency and even consumes a lot of soul energy, which is made from the essence of demons.

The Star River Magic Artifact is made with Commander-level Essence, making it extremely expensive, and there is a significant difference between good and inferior products.

As for the Star Sea Magic Artifact, it is even more precious, so precious that no one has ever seen it before. It is said to be made from the essence of a monarch.

Those kinds of things are basically not circulated; only core members have the opportunity to use them, and they are usually used in conjunction with cultivation treasure lands.

In ordinary cultivation, having a Star River Magic Artifact is considered top-tier and luxurious.

"Yes, you make a good point."

Wang Teng nodded in satisfaction. Tang Yue was indeed skilled. Opportunities to enter the Three-Step Tower were rare, and combining it with the Star River Magic Artifact could maximize cultivation efficiency.

This also applies to him, since dimensional cultivation is much more difficult than elemental cultivation.

Time passed quickly. The demonic disaster in Bo City made the people who were once immersed in prosperity and peace wake up a little and realize that this world was not safe.

Moreover, in critical moments, no one can be relied upon except one's own strength.

Ordinary people don't care about the suspicion of being abandoned, after all, so many military mages have died, and when a major disaster comes, there's simply no way to take care of so many people.

The next day, reinforcements arrived. A group of people descended on white eagles and began to quickly clear out the demons in the city.

The sewers that Wang Tengzhen collapsed only caused a temporary obstruction; the slave-level demons would naturally be able to dig them out afterward.

This time, more people survived, but of course, there were also many demons in the city afterwards, and many buildings were reduced to ruins.

After several days of cleanup by the support troops, the demons were finally wiped out, and Bo City was lifted from its state of alert. However, the wounds left by the demons would not be healed for a long time.

After the police cordon was lifted and order was restored in Bocheng, Wang Teng and Tang Yue left on a high-speed train after the station reopened, without saying goodbye to anyone else.

Tang Yue got off the train in Hangzhou because she needed to go back and report on the mission, so the two parted ways temporarily.

On the high-speed train.

"Recently, I heard that Bocheng was attacked by demons, and many people died."

"Yes, it shocked the whole country."

"It's said to be an entire demon tribe, how terrifying."

"I never expected to encounter something like this in a small place like Bocheng. It seems that big cities are safer."

"Your information is outdated. A relative of mine works there and heard from higher-ups that someone secretly intervened this time, collapsing the sewers and preventing the demons from breaking through from the inside. Their survival rate is far greater than 30%. I just don't know which expert it was."

"It seems there are still more good people than bad in this world."

"That makes sense, who can argue with that?"

"It's a pity I wasn't there, otherwise I would have made those demons suffer!"

"Hey bro, I have an introduction for a battlefield logistics job with a hunter mage squad. Great pay, are you interested?"

"Cough cough... I haven't been feeling well lately, so it's not suitable for me to go out."

Wearing an eye mask, Wang Teng sat by the window, leaning back lazily, listening to the heated discussions of the onlookers along the way.

Although they were inside the train carriage, their tone of voice made it seem as if they were right there, controlling the fate of the train with a wave of their hand!
