Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 8, keep it up! Your senior sister believes in you!

For a hunter mage in the city, the best job is undoubtedly joining the city's monster-hunting team.

However, the city's monster-hunting team requires elite hunters to join, and Cheng Xiao was only a high-level hunter, so he gave up the idea.

The second option is to join a private hunting agency.

Private hunting lodges are founded by hunters or hunting teams with a certain reputation.

Essentially, it's like a private detective agency; employers will come to you.

Whether it's a city-based monster-hunting team or a private hunting lodge, it's much better than going it alone.

An old street that looks like it has a unique charm from the Republican era.

At the end of the old street alley, you can see a hunting lodge store.

Qingtian Hunting Grounds!

Cheng Xiao knew that the founder of Qingtian Hunting Grounds was a retired master of forbidden spells.

Joining the Qingtian Hunting Grounds and getting on their good side early on would be the wisest choice!

"The starting price for commissions is 300,000, and the price is based on the difficulty of the commission. We do not accept commissions below 300,000."

A little girl with pigtails, sitting at the entrance of the old shop and playing with a mini laptop, spoke in a clear, crisp voice.

A little girl with pigtails who loves playing on laptops—that's perfect for me. Cheng Xiao laughed.

"I'm not hiring; I'm here for the job."

"Applying for a job?"

Lingling raised her bright, watery eyes and looked Cheng Xiao up and down.

After reading it, she shook her head, her little face clearly showing her disdain.

Cheng Xiao looked much like the other students at the academy; very few mages her age could catch her eye.

Just as Lingling was about to refuse, she heard a cold voice come from inside the shop:

"Come in."

"Sister?" Lingling looked into the shop, expressing her confusion.

The people in the shop didn't say anything more, and Lingling didn't know what to say either, so she said to Cheng Xiao:

"Go inside quickly."

Cheng Xiao entered the store and looked around for a while.

Qingtian Hunting Grounds is like a teahouse that combines Chinese, English and old styles, offering a variety of famous teas and all kinds of coffee.

Behind the bar.

A sophisticated and alluring woman with long, straight black hair, wearing an apron, smiled and said:

"What would you like?"

"Lemon Sprite".

"Hold on."

The black-haired, straight-haired, mature woman, Leng Qing, was very skilled at mixing drinks, probably having several years of experience as a bartender.

"Grandpa told me about your situation and thinks you're capable enough to give it a try." As Leng Qing spoke, her beautiful eyes moved over Cheng Xiao.

"So hasty." Cheng Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Leng Qing is the vice presiding judge of the Lingyin Tribunal, and he was involved to some extent in the operation to hunt down the Black Vatican in Bocheng.

Of course, those who can truly hunt down the high-ranking members of the Black Vatican are figures like Old Man Bao.

Old Man Bao must have known everything he had done in Bo City, which is why he agreed to let him join the Hunting Grounds so quickly.

"After all, you're from Bocheng, so I should at least take care of you a little. But don't expect me to give you special treatment; you still have to do what you're supposed to do," Leng Qing said with a smile.

"What should be done?" Cheng Xiao asked, looking puzzled.

"You should already know the rules for applying to the Hunter's Office. Originally, Grandpa wanted to personally assess you, but he had something to do."

"My name is Leng Qing, and I will be your examiner. Your task is simple: complete any one of the tasks I choose for you."

Leng Qing took out a tablet, tapped the screen a few times with her slender fingers, and then pushed it in front of Cheng Xiao: "Choose one of these tasks."

Cheng Xiao scanned through all the tasks and couldn't help but say:

"These are all million-dollar orders."

Leng Qing asked with a half-smile:

"What, you can't do it?"

"No, that's exactly what I want!"

Without thinking, Cheng Xiao directly selected the most difficult commission at the very top of the screen.

Leng Qing looked at the entrustment with surprise and said:

"A small mine operated by the Mu family is being disturbed by sea monsters and plant monsters, and there is a possibility that warrior-level monsters may appear."

"While the four million commission is tempting, are you sure you want to accept this commission that might involve facing a general directly?"

"If I choose those easy ones, wouldn't that be letting down the expectations of the cold examiner?" Cheng Xiao retorted.

"Arrogant enough, just my type." Leng Qing's lips curled into a slight smile.

"That's quite a boast, but I like it."

Then she beckoned to Cheng Xiao, who didn't take the hand, but still leaned closer.

Leng Qing lifted Cheng Xiao's chin, her gaze sweeping over him with unbridled interest, and said:

"Most of the necromancers I've met seem listless and dispirited; it's rare to see one as vigorous and energetic as you."

"Because they are necromancers," Cheng Xiao, the Shadow King, thought to himself, a helpless expression on his face.

"This shouldn't be part of the assessment, right?"

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

"Isn't it my duty as a senior sister to take care of my future junior brother's health?" Leng Qing asked with a smile.

"So, future senior sister, when can I start working on commissions?"

"Just bring your employee ID from our hunting agency, and you can do it now."

"Then I'll get to work."

"Go for it! Your senior believes in you!"

After Cheng Xiao left, Lingling walked into the house carrying her mini notebook.

"This guy is decisive and efficient, not dragging his feet at all," Lingling couldn't help but ask.

"Sister, what did Grandpa say to you yesterday? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Most of Bo Cheng's intelligence is classified, so his information can only be presented to the court. How could it possibly be told to you immediately?" Leng Qing said.

"What's so special about him?" Lingling asked.

"Having awakened to the Necromancer class, I killed hundreds of demons in seven days with only a beginner-level cultivation, including seven warrior-level demons."

Leng Qing's simple words made Lingling, the youngest master hunter, widen her eyes in surprise.

If it hadn't come from her sister's own mouth, Lingling would have definitely thought the person who said those words was an idiot.

Killing hundreds of demons and seven warriors in a week requires at least a master hunter.

Cheng Xiao, however, only possessed the cultivation level of a beginner-level necromancy.

"I understand." After her initial shock, Lingling had found the answer to all her questions.

"Don't get any funny ideas. Even if he joins you, you still have to go to school as usual," Leng Qing said coldly.

Lingling pouted in dissatisfaction:

"Okay, you naughty sister!"

..............................

After leaving Qingtian Hunting Grounds, Cheng Xiao first told Ye Xinxia at home that he would be back later.

Then they contacted the person in charge of receiving them from the pastoral family.

The other person was a woman, and her voice sounded very young.

Upon arrival at the designated location, the woman from the other end of the phone came out to meet me.

Even before getting close, one can see the other person's alluring and captivating figure, followed by that stunningly beautiful face, like a celestial fairy.

The Mu family, with their stunningly beautiful appearance, couldn't possibly be the reason Cheng Xiao produced the hunting station's proof, he said first:

"Hello, I am a hunter from the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds."

"My name is Mu Nujiao, and I'm the one who made the request this time." Mu Nujiao glanced behind Cheng Xiao and couldn't help but ask:

"Are you the only hunter?"

Cheng Xiao nodded:

"Yes, is there a problem?"
