Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start.

Chapter 60 The True Colors of a Man

……

"Suspended from duty?"

Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

Lingling looked at Lü Cheng with a strange expression. "What did you do?"

This was the first time she had ever heard of a specially appointed teacher being suspended from their post.

Don't these people all resign on their own initiative?

"I only taught a few classes normally, and then the teachers at the Qing campus jointly wrote a letter to report me," Lu Cheng shrugged.

"They say my courses have put a lot of psychological pressure on the students, and many of them have even considered dropping out. If I continue to teach, Mingzhu might not be able to continue operating."

Lingling's eye twitched slightly. "It seems you really aren't suited to be a teacher."

"I'd better just stick to being a hunter."

"No." Lü Cheng picked up Lingling in one swift motion.

"I'm too delicate to do those kinds of rough work."

"Ding ding, boss, that's enough to collect the money."

He's not short of money; when he needs money, he can just ask the Holy Lord for some treasure to sell.

His purpose in coming to Pearl Academy was twofold: first, to find some guinea pigs to practice his mind magic; second, to get involved in the Three-Step Tower and improve his magic to a higher level as soon as possible; and finally, to build a relationship with Dean Xiao.

The students of Qingyuan are too fragile; he cannot act recklessly because his mind magic has a chronic damage effect. After all, it involves forcibly invading and manipulating the mind, a process that not only involves the mental level but also affects the body's various hormone secretion and regulation.

A novice mage's body can't withstand his abuse; at least an intermediate mage would be needed, and it can't go on for too long, or he'll ruin the person.

"Boss?" Lingling was taken aback.

"Didn't you hook up with a rich woman?"

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket," Lü Cheng shook his head.

"I need to find more backup plans. It's not easy to find a rich woman. If she gets upset and cuts off my funding, I'll be in an awkward situation."

Lingling nodded in agreement, "Actually, I have some wealthy women I can recommend to you."

Lu Cheng's expression turned serious. "Take a look."

Lingling didn't waste any time and directly displayed the information she had gathered on her small computer: "Look, Jiang Shaoxu from the Jiang family, like you, majors in the field of mental science. You two should get along well..."

"Mu Tingying of the Mu family in the capital, while not quite as good as Jiang Shaoxu, is still quite decent..."

"Nanrong Ni from the Nanrong family is also quite good, specializing in healing techniques..."

"Of course, I still suggest you broaden your horizons and look abroad, like this one, Eileen, the first heir of the Victoria clan. She's an extremely wealthy woman. Your wyvern summon should have a lot to talk about with her. If you can get close to her, you won't have to worry about funding your future contracted beasts..."

"besides……"

"..."

"Lingling!" Leng Qing, with a dark expression, snatched Lingling from Lü Cheng's arms.

What are you doing?

"I'm dating a rich woman," Lingling said innocently.

"Sister, look at his physique, his looks, his talent! It's such a waste that he's not dating a rich woman!"

Leng Qing's eyes twitched violently. "Do you know what you're saying?"

It's one thing for this guy to be thinking about hooking up with a rich woman, but why are you, a child, helping him do it?

They've even started analyzing it?

"Of course." Lingling's expression turned serious.

"Sister, you know he's dirt poor and lazy. He's been in the hunting camp for so long and hasn't done a single proper mission. If he doesn't hook up with a rich woman, where will he get the money to cultivate? Where will he get the money to treat me to meals?"

"And these aren't just random recommendations; they were all carefully selected based on his situation and interests!"

"The most crucial point!" Lingling said with a serious expression.

"He really knows how to snag a rich woman!"

When others talk about dating rich women, she just listens and lets it go. After all, it's not easy to date a rich woman. They are rich women, not idiots. But Lu Cheng, he really can date a rich woman!

A man who is top-notch in every way except for his background, who could easily find a rich woman but doesn't take advantage of it, does that do justice to his all-around advantages?

"Lingling, stop talking, she won't understand." Lu Cheng sighed softly and stood up.

"Someone like me, if I don't scheme and take the crooked path, when will I ever get ahead?"

"Being a kept man is not my intention, and marrying a rich woman is out of the question!"

"What's wrong with being a kept man? As long as he fills his stomach, isn't that enough?"

"Is it shameful to be a kept man? Am I supposed to starve to death?"

Leng Qing was speechless for a moment.

I wanted to refute it, but it also seemed to make a lot of sense, and I even felt a strange sense of inspiration...

Damn! Tang Yue was fooled like that, wasn't she?

……

It was evening.

The Bund.

"Will drinking this really help me control my mind magic?"

"Um."

"But this thing..."

Open your mouth.

"..."

Ding Yumin took a deep breath and drank the strange, milky-white liquid in front of her in one gulp.

"It tastes sour..."

"How are you feeling?" Lu Cheng asked.

This is a potion he had Lope help him concoct; it can suppress unstable bursts of magical energy.

Ding Yumin's mind magic was too powerful, and due to the victim's talent, her mental strength grew very quickly. Although she was only a mid-level mage and hadn't deliberately cultivated, her mental strength had already reached the fifth level, almost the same as his.

But Ding Yumin cannot control this power, or rather, she cannot control it.

Moreover, she didn't even have a chance to practice controlling it, because if anything went wrong, it would be a disaster.

Now, this magic potion that suppresses the outburst of magical energy can suppress Ding Yumin's emotions when her mental strength is unstable and erupts outward.

It can be understood as a limiter.

"I don't feel anything... um~"

Ding Yumin was stunned by Lü Cheng's sudden attack.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

So fast? She wasn't even mentally prepared...

"Hmm?" Lu Cheng released Ding Yumin.

"How are you feeling?"

"Ah...ah?" Ding Yumin raised her head, her face flushed.

"Didn't you have the urge to kill me just now?" Lu Cheng asked, puzzled.

A mind mage's mental strength is affected by their emotions. When they are in a state of excitement, their mental strength will be slightly stronger than in a normal state.

Once Ding Yumin's emotions go wrong, her mental power will shake violently, like a glass of water that is about to overflow. For those whose mental power is lower than hers, the spilled water will be a catastrophic disaster.

But just now, Ding Yumin's mental magic did not riot.

Lope's potions are that amazing?

Can it suppress mental outbursts at their source?

"Huh?" Ding Yumin's mind went blank.

Dean Xiao had already told her before that she should be mentally prepared.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. She can hide her situation for a while, but not forever. Dean Xiao can't protect her forever either. If she can't find someone willing to protect her, her situation will be exposed in a few years.

The Holy City has only one attitude towards the victims: annihilation!

Therefore, if she wanted Lü Cheng to take such a big risk to help her, she naturally had to pay some price.

During this period of contact, she felt okay about Lü Cheng. Apart from a slight sense of distance, Lü Cheng could be described as kind to everyone.

In terms of personality, although he's a bit of a jerk, he's not too bad, at least much better than the rich young men she's met at the academy.

Even if it was just a pretense, she was already satisfied with this situation.

At least, people are willing to put on an act in front of her.

"You don't need to think about that much for now." Lu Cheng tapped Ding Yumin's head.

"My willingness to help you stems more from curiosity—curiosity about the victims."

"To this day, I have never met anyone who can compare with me in terms of talent, and you, a victim, are qualified to compete with me."

"I want to see what kind of power your fully developed 'victim' ability will create, how it differs from my mental talent, and who is stronger?"

"Who is stronger?" Ding Yumin was taken aback.

"Then what you just did...?"

"It's a man's nature," Lü Cheng said earnestly.

"..."

"Beep beep beep!"

"Feed?" Lu Cheng answered the phone.

"Brother Acheng! Something happened at school!" Lingling said anxiously.

"Report the location."

"Youth Campus Gymnasium!"

"Wait."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Cheng waved his hand and summoned another sub-dragon.

Jingyun, the second-in-command of the Evil Dragon Legion.

He can now summon two commander-level sub-dragons at the same time and maintain the stable existence of these evil dragons in the human world. Xiaotian has become quite familiar with Ye Xinxia in recent years, so he asked Xiaotian to stay by Ye Xinxia's side to protect her safety.

"Today I'll teach you area-of-effect spellcasting." Lü Cheng picked up Ding Yumin and jumped onto Jingyun's back.

"Let's go."

Whoosh!!

Jingyun was startled and shot away in the direction Lü Cheng had given him.
