Full-Time Magister: The Jade Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil Captures Apas

Chapter 2 Contract Snake Woman Apas, Awakening the Summoning System

(PS: To add another layer of armor, Apas's storyline is based on the Sunset Temple arc in the original work. Just keep in mind that Apas's actual age is due to Shen He.)

"Hiss hiss hiss!!!"

A silver serpent leader, over twenty meters tall, wielded six arms and charged forward in a furious rage, holding two incredibly heavy giant bone hammers!

"Azure Serpent's Three-Flower Pupils, Contractual Gaze!"

Song Zhong was prepared. Even though he was deep in the snake clan's territory, his Azure Serpent Three-Flower Eyes never stopped sensing. The silver snake commander lying in ambush here instantly froze.

An eerie, ghostly light burst forth, and a small green flower appeared, imprinted on the head of the Silver Serpent Commander.

Commander-level combat power - Silver Serpent Commander +1.

The next second, the Silver Serpent Commander, like the Silver Serpent Warriors, instantly transformed into Song Zhong's personal guard captain.

After subduing the Silver Serpent Commander, Song Zhong continued his stroll toward the Sunset Temple.

Song Zhong's pupils turned a deep, emerald green as he warily surveyed the Sunset Temple, searching for his ultimate goal in coming here—Apas!

After passing through several dilapidated ancient buildings, Song Zhong discovered the hair that had fallen off the girl Medusa beneath an altar covered in vegetation.

Song Zhong tucked his hair away and continued to let one of his silver snake warriors release desert worms to advance.

Soon, the desert worm stopped in front of a moonlit, dilapidated stone temple and began to gnaw on a silk-like substance below.

With his emerald green eyes slightly narrowed, Song Zhong slowly walked towards the broken-roof stone hall.

Inside the stone hall, a petite figure suddenly flashed by. She seemed to have spotted Song Zhong and immediately hid in a corner of the hall.

The moonlight, like a veil, spilled down from the top of the hill, completely obscuring the corner.

"Little beauty, are you going to come out yourself, or should I come and get you myself?"

A faint emerald light shone in Song Zhong's pupils as his gaze locked onto the girl huddled in the corner.

There were no other Medusas or Silver Serpent Warriors around, and the hair he had just harvested was still warm, which meant that the girl in front of him was none other than the little snake girl Apas that Song Zhong was looking for!

"Big brother, are you a bad person?"

As soon as Song Zhong finished speaking, a timid yet incredibly clear voice came from the corner.

The girl's voice was very pleasant, like a silver bell tinkling in the wind in a bamboo forest, so soothing that it evoked a sense of tenderness.

Although Song Zhong really wanted to come up with a famous line from a scene.

Since you have asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you that in order to prevent the world from being destroyed, to protect world peace, and to uphold love and truth against evil.

Cute and charming villains, Jessie, James, and Meowth! We are Team Rocket, speeding through the galaxy! A white hole, a bright tomorrow awaits us, that's meow~~

Oops, Team Rocket from Pokémon is making a crossover!

"I'm not human, I'm a cheater!"

But Song Zhong abandoned that somewhat silly and nonsensical idea and spoke very honestly.

It must be because I was affected by the "All-Heavens Sand Sculpture" panel that I was bound to. Yes, that must be it.

Apas, "."

Song Zhong's unconventional answer left the girl behind the corner in silence for a long time.

"Big brother~ I'm not Medusa, I was captured. Medusa likes to eat the hearts of young girls. The girl from my village has already been eaten by her, and I should be next." The little snake woman was still putting on an act.

Song Zhong did not respond to the question, but instead focused all his energy on activating the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.

"Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, Demon Eye, activate!"

Although Song Zhong had transmigrated six or seven years earlier, Apas's strength was conservatively estimated to be around that of a Grand Monarch, so he naturally had to go all out.

Unravel the mysteries of the root cause, gaze into the future, and open!

Within Song Zhong's pupils, three emerald green flowers were slowly blooming. At the center, a chillingly eerie emerald green pupil, as if awakening, slowly opened...

Apas's delicate body stiffened. The human in front of her gave her the feeling of the Mother of Medusa. Her eerie green pupils shone brightly, instantly enveloping the little snake girl.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Apas clutched her face in agony, wailing. Her pupils turned into a noble golden-pink, a deep and captivating color that could mesmerize anyone who looked at them for too long!

At the same time, a small green flower quietly appeared between her eyebrows!

The forced contract was successful, and Song Zhong acquired a golden-eyed Medusa, the third daughter of the Medusa Mother!

At the same time, a young girl named Medusa, dragging an extremely long snake body, appeared swiftly at the entrance of the hall, and the silver snake commander beside Song Zhong immediately stopped her.

"Clang!"

The Silver Serpent Commander wielded two giant bone hammers, unleashing a piercing clang of metal against metal.

Song Zhong also noticed the commotion, turned around and unleashed a powerful gaze from his Azure Serpent Three-Flower Eyes, forcibly binding the girl Medusa with a soul contract.

"Phew~"

Song Zhong's face turned deathly pale. Forcibly activating the half-mature Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil ultimate move had greatly depleted his mental energy.

However, all of this was worthwhile, because we got our hands on the little snake woman, Apas!

Unlike the suppression of summoning contracts, the snake-like beings that Song Zhong subdued through the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil retained their original full strength.

Furthermore, after the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is enslaved by a soul, the energy transfer can be controlled and distributed by Song Zhong. He can transfer energy to a snake-like life form under his command.

"Big brother~ you"

The sunlight fell on Apas's fair and smooth skin, making her look as beautiful as a piece of exquisite white jade.

The girl slowly raised her head through the sunlight curtain, strands of thin hair falling down her back. Her breathtakingly beautiful face made Song Zhong's heart race.

Apas had a charming face, and her collarbone below her jade-like neck was white and delicate. Her tattered dress could not hide her full and firm breasts, and it also concealed her petite and exquisite body.

Her legs were long and slender, their graceful lines shimmering in the sunlight.

Especially those two delicate, white feet, like "three-inch golden lotuses," were heartbreaking to see food fall to the ground and get covered in dust.

"Damn it! How could you, an ordinary person who hasn't even awakened magic, possibly sign a contract with me?"

Apas's expression was complicated; she covered her head in frustration and muttered to herself.

"Apas, I know your predicament. If you serve me as your master, I can grant you control of the Medusa Mother's serpent empire."

"Now that you've signed the soul contract, you must know how powerful my eyes are, right?"

Song Zhong pointed to his Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil and said to the little snake girl with a smile.

"Despicable! You despicable human being!"

Apas's little face turned red with anger, and she said in a coquettish tone with a face full of fury.

A dozen minutes later, Apas finally stopped making a fuss.

"Big brother, can you really help me control the Queen Mother's venomous empire?" Apas asked with some doubt.

"Of course, but my patience is limited, and my whole body is a bit sore. How about you give me a massage to relieve my fatigue, Apas?"

Song Zhong looked the little snake girl up and down, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing.

"Big brother~ You're so naughty~ Humph, it wasn't Apas who gave you the massage on her own~"

Apas turned her head slightly and reluctantly massaged Song Zhong's neck and arms.

Song Zhong, "."

Apas, the tsundere has already been phased out.

A dozen minutes later, after enjoying a massage from the little snake woman Apas, Song Zhong remembered that he still had an achievement he hadn't completed.

"Apas, could you get me a high-quality awakening stone? It would be even better if you could also get some magic training resources," Song Zhong said to the little snake girl.

"Big brother~ Of course, I'll send a message to Ethan in Cairo right now."

Apas nodded obediently and summoned a silver serpent leader, ordering it to go to Cairo.

After a long day of running around, Song Zhong's stomach started to rumble in protest. The Silver Serpent Commander, ever observant, dragged over the carcass of a desert camel.

After skinning and preparing the meat, Song Zhong roasted the camel meat to satisfy his hunger.

"Apas, would you like some?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"No, I'm not hungry."

A moment later.

"So spicy, so delicious!"

Apas's cherry-like lips were burning from the spiciness; the Desert Devil Red Chili Pepper was incredibly potent.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Song Zhong used the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil to subdue all of Apas's personal guards.

One Medusa, a girl of the Grand Commander level, four silver serpent commanders, and 114 silver serpent warriors of the Great General level.

Apart from the first silver snake commander that Song Zhong enslaved, the other three silver snake commanders were all mid-level commanders.

"Tsk tsk. Apas, aren't your warriors rather shabby?"

Song Zhong glanced at the pretty snake girl Apas beside him, whose face was gloomy, and made a teasing remark.

At first glance, Apas's forces seem powerful, but apart from herself being the Great Monarch, she only has a handful of subordinates, barely qualifying as a small tribe.

Compared to Apas' two older sisters, Apas was just a pitiful little thing on the verge of collapse, with hardly any desert berserkers following her.

"Big brother~ Apas is with you now, so you have to help me~"

Apas had resigned herself to her fate. During the subjugation operation just now, Song Zhong's pair of emerald green eyes were simply the bane of snake-like life.

Perhaps, with the help of this master, I can really take control of the Queen Mother's treacherous empire.

"That depends on your performance!"

"Big brother~ what do you want Apas to do?"

"Of course, it's about attracting members of the Desert Berserkers one by one so I can subdue them."

Apas, "."

Time passed slowly. Song Zhong sat at the entrance of the Sunset Temple, holding a high-quality awakening stone that the Silver Serpent Commander had sent back to him.

And, the mountain of magical resources inside the main hall.

Om~!

A flash of moon-white light, and he successfully awakened the Summoning ability!

[The D-level achievement reward has been sent to your inventory: D-level deduction card *1, deduction points *100]

Apas was itching to try it herself and placed her little hand on the Awakening Stone.

"Rustling sound~"

As dark green vines spread out, the little snake girl Apas, just like in the original story, awakened her plant-based powers.

"Big brother~ Look, Apas has awakened magic too."

A ball of emerald green stardust lit up on the palm of the little snake girl Apas, and she cheered excitedly.

"Congratulations, Apas. Now, meditate. Tomorrow, we still need to subdue those desert berserkers."

With a smile on his face, Song Zhong praised him, then put on a bracelet-shaped spirit-grade stardust artifact and began to meditate on the summoning stardust.

Apas nodded obediently and began meditating on plant-based stardust using a spirit-level stardust artifact.

An hour later, Song Zhong restarted Deep Blue.

[Initial → You transmigrate to the world of Full-Time Magister, with a bank card containing 700 million yuan and no PIN.]

[Mid-game → You find yourself in Shanghai, but without any special abilities, so you decide to rely on your fellow townsman Mo Fan. However, the name "Fanxue Mountain" gives you a bad feeling.]

[Later stages → With the help of your wealth, you successfully awaken the fire element and learn to cast spells, but the Demon City has already sounded a black alert, Tianque has appeared, and the Siren Dynasty has attacked.]

[Epilogue → If everything goes black, is it too late to bury me?]

[Ending → You, wielding a mortal-level Stardust Magic Artifact, are instantly cleaved in two by a Commander-level Ice Axe Manatee Beast.]

[D-level deduction card used up. Does the silly host wish to spend 100 deduction points to retrieve the legacy?]

Song Zhong: "What kind of bad luck is this? I've been transported directly to the Shanghai Catastrophe arc, starting on hellish difficulty?"

But despite the complaints, the reward is still necessary.

Hmm, this legacy doesn't sound very auspicious.

"Yes, it will cost 100 deduction points," Song Zhong thought to himself.

[Drawing inheritance →]

[Currently available: Bank card without password (7 million), Fire-type Tier 1 Stardust, Mortal-grade Stardust Magic Artifact.]

Please select one.

Do we even need to choose between these three? Just lock in level 1 fire-type stardust, okay?

"I choose the first-level fire-type Stardust." Song Zhong quickly made his choice in his mind.

As soon as the selection was completed, a crimson stream of light emerged from the void and disappeared into Song Zhong's forehead in the blink of an eye.

Not only are the rewards from fire-type stardust, but they also include experience in meditation, control, and release. Nice!

Within the spiritual world.

A crimson fire-elemental stardust floated silently, with seven stars slowly dancing within it. Not far away, moon-white summoning-elemental stardust also swirled gently.

A surge of joy welled up in Song Zhong's heart, and he immediately began to meditate on the Summoning Stardust.

A night breeze blows, and the moon hangs high in the sky.

Silver moonlight spilled across this desert land, illuminating the Temple of the Setting Sun. Two brilliant stars rose higher and higher until they merged into the bright moon.
