Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

After dealing with the body of the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast, Lin Chen and the others walked towards a towering cylindrical building. The building was particularly eye-catching, and its majesty could be felt even from several blocks away.

Upon arriving at the building, following the signs, the Nationalist government delegation found the person who would receive them.

The host was an administrator of a magic association, who led them to a large, single-level building with more than a dozen rooms to choose from.

The receptionist, who looked to be in his thirties, had a shifty look on his face. He kept glancing at the pretty girls in the group, and he seemed particularly interested in long legs. Nan Jue had the longest legs, and his gaze never left her.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lai Hengbao, and I'm in charge of receiving and vetting Chinese hunters in Donghai City. The rooms here are all chargeable. If you don't have money, you can pay with demon gall. Anyway, the mages who come here are risking their lives to make a fortune. You're lucky; you encountered a commander-level sea monster attack when you first arrived, but you weren't harmed at all. But don't worry, the two commander-level sea monsters that attacked earlier have already been dealt with by a powerful summoning mage. I heard he made a killing of 350 million."

When Lai Hengbao got to this point, he noticed the strange looks in the eyes of the Nationalist team members. Thinking they were surprised, he continued, "Don't be too surprised. These are all experts; you don't see them often in Donghai City. It's precisely because of their existence that you newbies can survive more safely. But don't think you can have what they've gained just because they've had such great achievements."

Your strengths are simply not on the same level.

"Do you know who he is?" Jiang Yu asked, pointing to Lin Chen beside him.

"His name is Lin Chen, your name is Jiang Yu, and this tall, beautiful woman is Nan Jue," Lai Hengbao said, staring at Nan Jue with an air of self-righteousness.

"If you want to become members of the Donghai City district team, you'd better follow my instructions obediently. Don't end up being sent back. I've already paid your team leader, so you need to demonstrate your value!" Lai Hengbao said sternly.

"What is a street team? What do you mean by 'we're getting paid to our team leader'?!" Upon hearing Lai Hengbao's words,

Everyone looked at each other, completely bewildered. They didn't know exactly what had happened, but they all felt that they had been tricked by their mentors.

"No way, the people behind you didn't even explain things clearly before sending you here?" Lai Hengbao was also surprised, but he still patiently explained the rules of Donghai City to Lin Chen and the others.

"Donghai City is divided into thirty-two districts, each with a corresponding district lord. The district lord receives a monthly protection fund from the Sakura Kingdom government and the World Magic Association. This fund is managed by the district lord, who can use it to cultivate their own power or invite hunters and hire mages. As long as the district can clear the sea monsters in their district by high tide, the remaining money belongs to the district lord."

"Also, once you join a district team, the district lord of each district legally owns all the items within that district, even the corpses of the demons you kill. After the war ends, the district lord will sell them to the Sakura Kingdom government. After the district lord takes a portion of the money, the remaining money will be distributed according to the team's or individual's contribution."

"Damn it, I feel like we're just exploited working class, living cattle and horses in modern society," Zhao Manyan said indignantly.

"Could our mentor be any more unreliable?" Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but complain.

"This must have been arranged intentionally by our mentors, so that our experience would be more realistic."

The members of the Nationalist team weren't idiots, and they quickly realized what was happening.

"Oh, by the way, your team leader also asked me to pass on a message to you, that you need to evolve and advance to a four-star team."

"If you don't achieve that, the things we promised you will be stolen by other countries—when I heard your leader say that before, I thought it was a pair of powerful mages, but it turns out to be a bunch of greenhorns like you. I estimate you won't be able to complete this goal in less than four or five years, and whether you can even survive one high tide is another question."

After Lai Hengbao finished speaking, he had no intention of staying any longer. After informing Lin Chen and the others that there would be a high tide the day after tomorrow, he left the room directly.

"These Japanese people really know how to have fun. They build a place to live on the beach, and then contract out each area to individual businesses so they can run it themselves. Not only do they collect rent, but they also buy seafood cheaply, process it into finished products and sell it, while they sit in the back and collect the money."

"Those who died were all mages who wanted to profit from the war, while money and resources kept flowing into their pockets."

"Luckily, Lin Chen didn't join the district team when he dealt with those two Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts, otherwise who knows how much of his valuables would have been exploited by those black-hearted guys," Zhao Manyan sneered.

"This is beyond our control. We've been assigned to the 20th district, which is very close to the district where the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast appeared before. Why don't you take a look at this?" Nan Jue said, looking at the photo displayed on the computer.

"Hey, isn't that Hirose kid? He seems to have a pretty good relationship with the district head. Could he be the district head's son?" Jiang Yu said.

"Should we talk to him and ask his dad to send us a four-star squad?" Jiang Yu said with a smile.

"Don't even think about it. Everyone who can make a living here is shrewd." Lin Chen poured cold water on Jiang Yu's hopes.

"Alright, let's rest for today. Nan Jue, you're in charge of collecting naval battle data to see how we can defend ourselves more effectively the day after tomorrow, so that we can utilize the powerful strength of Lin Chen's summoned beast while also effectively training our own strength," Ai Jiangtu instructed.

"Okay, I'll make the preparations. We'll have a group meeting tomorrow night to discuss the details," Nan Jue said.

"Any arrangement is fine, but Lin Chen, you have to remember to put BlackGatomon by my side. I'm a short-legged creature, and if they abandon me again like they did today, I'll be dead." Jiang Shaoxu said pitifully.

These words immediately made Zu Jiming feel extremely embarrassed.

Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to cast a ground wave spell on Jiang Shaoxu; it was just that he was so nervous in that situation that he didn't have time to react and cast a ground wave spell on his teammate.

"I will also consider this issue tonight and try my best to prevent this situation from happening," Ai Jiangtu said.

Jiang Shaoxu's words did indeed remind him that Lin Chen's strength had significantly elevated the entire team.

The team cannot deal with monsters that offer no challenge, while those that are challenging are fraught with danger. We must pay attention to the personnel arrangements, otherwise today's mistakes will be repeated.
