Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 67 Green-Headed Thieves

"Feng Ling, stop playing around!" Bai Mo was speechless. Why did he feel that little Feng Ling had a bit of a silly tendency? Who did she learn that from?

"Whoosh~" Feng Ling cried out, and suddenly transformed into a huge wind blade, slashing at the rapidly falling cloud python with incredible speed, making it sway back and forth, and soon splitting it in two. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the two still writhing snake bodies crashed heavily into the sand.

Wu Liu, the one who started the fire, walked out gracefully. He looked at Bai Mo in front of him and Feng Ling, who was already leaning on his shoulder, and showed a satisfied expression.

He flipped his hand, and a badge resembling a flame appeared in his palm. Wu Liu handed the badge to Bai Mo, and then said:

"This is your Starfire Judgment Badge, but it's not activated yet. I'll take you to the Oath Tree to take the oath later."

"Okay." Bai Mo took the badge, glanced at it, and said that apart from being nice-looking, there was nothing else to it.

Meanwhile, Wu Liu had already unfurled her wings of wind, carrying Bai Mo directly to the planting area of ​​the Tribunal's Oath Tree, before slowly descending.

This area covers more than ten acres, yet only one small tree was planted there.

However, what puzzled Bai Mo even more was that no one stopped him along the way, which made him quite curious.

Do all the people on the trial panel know the person who started the fire?

There was no one around, so Wu Liu told Bai Mo the oath.

It basically means being loyal to the country and the people, punishing evil and eliminating wickedness, and not doing anything to betray the Spark Trial Network. There are no difficult oath requirements.

As Bai Mo finished reciting the oath, a shimmering light shone down from the tree.

Immediately, Bai Mo felt a faint connection between him and the tree.

"The mark of us Starfire Judges resides in our hearts, not in our bodies. You are now a full-fledged Starfire Judge."

After Wu Liu finished speaking, he took out a magic card, handed it to Bai Mo, and explained:

"Please install this magic card on your phone. There's an app inside. I'll send you an invitation code, and then your Inquisitor identity will be activated."

"So it's manually activated." Bai Mo remarked, taking the magic card, which was about the size of a fingernail.

Wu Liu smiled and said, "Automatic systems are too clumsy and unsafe."

Magic cards, as a type of insert technology in this world, have many uses. For example, they are most commonly used as phone cards, and in earlier times, they were used as memory cards in mobile phones.

However, through continuous updates and iterations, while the basic function of the phone card remains unchanged, other cards have incorporated features such as increasing memory and enhancing phone processing performance. Of course, there are also some special-purpose cards, such as those for logging into certain mysterious applications or websites.

Wu Liu, the one who started the fire, took him back to the Moon Shadow Arena and left. Bai Mo went home, took out his phone, and pushed out the SIM card slot. His phone had two SIM card slots, one of which was already in use.

Bai Mo put the magic card chip given to him by Wu Liu into the slot and then put it back in place.

Soon, an unnamed app appeared on the phone screen. Bai Mo tapped on it, and the phone screen turned completely white.

After a while, a pop-up window appeared, prompting him to enter an invitation code.

Bai Mo had already received Wu Liufa's invitation code on his way home, and since he remembered it, he entered it.

The interface then switched to display a column of his basic personal information, followed by a pop-up window asking him to fill in his code name on the Spark Network.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Mo typed the character "白".

It passed very easily.

After filling in this information, you enter the software's interior. The overall interface is dark blue, and the homepage is not a task interface but rather a personal section.

The top image is a profile picture without a avatar, with a large white character written behind it.

Below is his score, which surprisingly shows one hundred.

Bai Mo guessed that this was because of some things he had done in Bo City. He didn't quite understand the value of these points yet, so he clicked on the task section below.

Then there are three entries, which are written as Heaven, Earth, and Man.

He guessed that this must be the difficulty level of the mission, since he was the one who clicked on the top-tier mission.

Immediately, a row of tasks, all of which were of the Heavenly level, appeared.

There aren't many, only six.

Bai Mo looked at the first one—

Find Salam's exact whereabouts, and the reward is 1000 trial points and a billion in cash.

Wow, Salang is really valuable, but it seems that these Judgment Points are also quite valuable.

Bai Mo felt that the task being pinned to the top of his chat list was inextricably linked to the events in Bocheng.

He continued reading.

2. Searching for ancient totems

3. Eliminate the Crab Demon Lord of Poyang Lake.

4. Annihilate the Wolf Clan of Xiaoye Ridge

5. Find the Dike God Stone

6. Investigate and prosecute spies.

When he saw the sixth one, Bai Mo blinked; it was interesting. This meant everyone knew there was a traitor within the organization.

After fiddling around for a while, Bai Mo discovered that these six tasks were permanent and could be taken by as many people as needed. Once the results were submitted, someone would review and verify them.

Moreover, the rewards for these six tasks are almost the same, all worth one thousand points, the only difference being the amount of cash reward.

Bai Mo looked down at the list and found that there were actually more than ten Heavenly-level tasks, but he could only see the numbers, not the names, and he couldn't click on them.

I don't know if he can't watch it yet.

I also browsed through the Earth-level and Human-level missions.

The top priority at the prefecture level is to capture the Black Vatican. Other tasks include eliminating the leader, capturing highly skilled criminals, and investigating various incidents.

There were also a few that he couldn't watch.

The first Human-level mission is also inextricably linked to the Black Vatican; the others are similar to Earth-level missions, only simpler.

However, there are still some tasks where only the number can be seen.

Bai Mo planned to ask Wu Liu about it later.

After browsing through the list, Bai Mo discovered that the rewards for Human-level missions ranged from 50 to 300 points, with most offering 1 million in cash. Earth-level missions, on the other hand, offered 400 to 800 points, with the highest reward being 30 million.

Many tasks state that rewards will be calculated based on completion, but there is no specific amount.

After reviewing the task, Bai Mo clicked into the points mall.

I browsed through it roughly, but there was no way I could see everything. There were a lot of things to exchange in the store, including basic magical tools, cultivation resources, star veins, and spirit seeds and soul seeds.

Furthermore, it includes the right to use various cultivation holy sites, and even the exchange of information on springs, rare and precious materials, and contracted beasts.

Bai Mo thought about it and decided he didn't want to keep scrolling down like he was browsing Taobao. He considered his own situation.

Enter the two characters "念石" in the search box.

Your search results are unavailable.

Seeing this line of text, Bai Mo wasn't surprised; Nian Stones were extremely rare. However, the pop-up notification below piqued his curiosity.

Based on your search, we recommend the following products.

Liangzhou Mogao Grottoes: 500 points per redemption.

Lushan Waterfall, 100 points for each redemption.

Jade City Serenity Sea, 50 points for each redemption.

Bai Mo narrowed his eyes. These all looked like sacred places for cultivation. Considering the Jing'an Stone Temple he had visited, it wasn't hard to deduce that these places were also related to the cultivation of spiritual power.

Unfortunately, the Jing'an Stone Temple is no longer useful to those at the intermediate level, and they won't let them in.

Looking at the section about Lushan Waterfall, Bai Mo thought for a moment and decided not to exchange for it. Instead, he searched for information about contracted beasts in the chat box.

There were almost none that met his requirements. This online store mainly sold items related to trials and intelligence, so he would need to find a store that specialized in selling these kinds of things.

After that, he searched for Soul Seeds and found that the starting price was 500 points.

However, Bai Mo discovered that this place had the most magical artifacts, including high-quality magical artifact sets, but unfortunately, he didn't have enough points.

Finally, you can even exchange for the essence of demons here, but there are no leaders among them.

So Bai Mo spent thirty points to exchange for four servant-level spirit essences. His personal information contained his delivery address, but he didn't know when they would arrive.

He accepted another mission with exactly 400 points, requiring him to wipe out a newly emerging evil organization near Mingshui Town.

Bai Mo read through the information about this task.

Ever since the terrifying demons attacked Bo City.

A new group of people in China, either restless or extremely unhappy with their lives and filled with negative emotions, have been inspired.

This group of seven, who preached robbing the rich to help the poor, was just like that. They called themselves the Flying Stream Cult, and two of them were intermediate-level mages.

Mingshui Town is a tourist town with southern scenery, attracting many wealthy tourists.

Therefore, it became their target.

These seven people, for some unknown reason, possessed the ability to teleport short distances, thus causing chaos in Mingshui Town.

Then, taking advantage of the chaos, they kidnapped wealthy people and used their spatial displacement abilities to take the hostages away.

They would ask them to pay money to save their lives, but after taking the money, they would often torture them.

Those who were rescued were either missing their ears or their eyes; none of them were unharmed.

Their actions have caused considerable unrest, seriously affecting the economic development and public security of Mingshui Town. At the same time, their ability to shift spatial distances has also attracted attention.

The ability to grant spatial displacement to non-high-level spatial mages is too conspicuous. In any case, it cannot fall into the hands of a group of people with ulterior motives.

Therefore, this task received such a high score and was classified as a prefecture-level task.

Mingshui Town wasn't far, so Bai Mo didn't set off immediately. He told Lingling about the general situation and asked her to help him investigate.

"Hmm, I see. I just saw this in the hunting party's commission list outside. It came from the Magic Association, and they're asking for a high-level mage."

Lingling multitasked, searching for information while replying, "But since you accepted the task, I can do it too, regardless of the requirements!"

After hanging up the phone, I booked the bus ticket to Mingshui Town for tomorrow.

Bai Mo glanced at the time; it was almost evening. He prepared to try to break through to the next level of spiritual cultivation.

With his eyes closed, he could clearly feel a barrier blocking the growth and rise of his immense spiritual power.

He mobilized all his mental energy and charged towards the barrier that was like a dam.

Rumble!!!

It was as if countless thunderclaps echoed in his mind, and a piercing pain stimulated every nerve from the inside out, but Bai Mo was not defeated by this pain.

He continued to control his mental surges, wave after wave crashing against the ever-shaking barrier.

After an unknown amount of time, when Bai Mo opened his eyes again, he found himself completely soaked in sweat.

The daylight outside the window has turned into night.

He did not succeed in making a breakthrough.

Bai Mo was not surprised; having accumulated experience does not guarantee a breakthrough.

The barrier between the minor and intermediate realms is indeed a formidable chasm, but it is not one that is forbidden to pass through.

He has already accumulated the experience to build a road to heaven across this insurmountable barrier, leading to a wider region on the other side.

What's lacking is the ability to build this road through repeated assaults and gradual progress. He estimates that it will take two or three more attempts to reach the other side.

However, it will take some time to recover before it can be done again, which is similar to breaking through to the next level of magic.

After using up the Illusion Stone given to him by the Bai family head yesterday, Bai Mo went to sleep.

I woke up in the middle of the night.

The dream within this stone was fleeting, and it wasn't human; it belonged to a landscape fish.

The mental energy boost felt better than the previous Void Stone.

The scenery in Mingshui Town is quite nice, even in the somewhat humid southern month of May.

The place still feels cool, with white walls, black tiles, clear water, and green trees.

But there were few tourists here; the townspeople were discussing the robbers.

"Yuanyuan, don't run around! Be careful those green-headed thieves catch you! They'll gouge out your eyes and tongue!"

"Aunt Li, don't frighten the child."

"Ugh, these heartless bastards! They ruined my business. And I even helped them out before!"

Sitting on a cruise ship on the town's river, Bai Mo and Lingling, one big and one small, were dressed in gold and silver, behaving like nouveau riche on a trip.

Looking at the old man rowing the boat, Bai Mo asked, "Grandpa, is business bad in town? What are these 'green-headed thieves' they're talking about?"

"Sigh!" The old man sighed heavily, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Young man, you and your sister are both quite good-looking. Take my advice, once you've finished your boat ride, leave. Mingshui Town is no longer a good place!"

"Grandpa, don't be afraid, tell me! My brother is a mage, he's not afraid of any green-headed thieves."

Lingling also adopted the demeanor of an innocent young girl who was curious about everything, and asked the old man rowing the boat questions.

The old man glanced at Bai Mo, thinking that since he was a mage, and the young man had an extraordinary air about him, even though those people were also mages, they shouldn't be afraid of those despicable fellows. So he slowly said:

"These days, some people in our town have resorted to crooked means, kidnapping tourists, robbing them, and even injuring them. And... and what's more, a lawless bastard stole his brother's wife! Mingshui Town's reputation is ruined, and the town isn't safe anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo raised an eyebrow. Weren't they just bandits? How come there's a thief named Cao? He did know that this thief was a resident of the town. He didn't pay much attention to these matters, but instead asked about things that weren't in the records.

"Uncle, why did those aunties call them green-headed thieves?"
