Full-Time Magister: You're selling soul beasts in Shanghai?

Chapter 45 The Mu Family's Little Intentions: Packing Up the Sisters

"Are you kidding me? My sister Mu and I came to eat here, and we have to wait in line for ages."

Ai Tutu, who had been queuing since noon, had just entered the restaurant when she pointed at Xu Beichen and shouted resentfully.

"TuTu".

Mu Nujiao stepped forward and grabbed Ai Tutu's arm, a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

This Ai Tutu is really not afraid of making a fool of himself.

"They're all the same," Xu Beichen said calmly.

"What do you mean they're all the same? Mu-jie and I have brought you quite a few customers."

Upon hearing this, Ai Tutu immediately crossed her arms in dissatisfaction and muttered.

"That's true."

Xu Beichen did not deny that Mu Nujiao, as a rising goddess, did indeed help him attract many students.

Although most students didn't have much money in their pockets, there were quite a few from wealthy families.

"How about this, you can come at 7 pm from now on, and you won't have to queue."

After a moment's thought, Xu Beichen decided to grant them some special privileges.

After 7 p.m., it's no longer business hours; he can cook for whomever he wants.

Ding Yumin, Dean Fu, Dean Xiao, Old Man Bao, and others all arrived around 7 PM.

Otherwise, given Old Man Bao's health, queuing for several hours straight would probably kill him.

"real?"

Ai Tutu was stunned, an incredulous expression on her face, clearly not expecting Xu Beichen to be so easy to talk to.

too weird!

"You wouldn't be plotting something against Sister Mu, would you?"

Ai Tutu stood in front of Mu Nujiao, looking at Xu Beichen with a wary expression.

"Hehe~"

Xu Beichen rolled his eyes. It wouldn't be difficult for him to win over Mu Nujiao.

He could even bring the two sisters together if he were to propose marriage to the Mu family.

But he doesn't have that idea right now. His primary goal is to earn points so he can summon an Emperor-level Soul Beast first.

"TuTu!"

Mu Nujiao angrily called out to the outspoken Ai Tutu.

In the past few months, the Mu family has indeed discussed how to achieve a better cooperative relationship with Xu Beichen.

The simplest and most secure method is undoubtedly marriage alliance, which is the most basic practice in aristocratic families.

Xu Beichen has a powerful background, great talent, and even superb culinary skills.

The only one who is worthy of Xu Beichen is Mu Nujiao. Given Xu Beichen's current background and potential, it can be said that the Mu family is climbing the social ladder.

After eating the dishes cooked by Xu Beichen, Mu Nujiao would occasionally let her imagination run wild.

"Sister Mu, I'm just afraid you'll fall into this guy's trap."

Ai Tutu muttered something under her breath and obediently walked behind Mu Nujiao.

Mu Nujiao glared at Ai Tutu, then said to Xu Beichen apologetically, "Sorry for taking up your time."

"It's okay, we're all friends." Xu Beichen smiled dismissively.

"Hmph, just as I expected," Ai Tutu whispered from behind Mu Nujiao.

Mu Nujiao blushed slightly and, without saying a word, pulled Ai Tutu toward the empty seats.

Day after day passed, and before we knew it, it was time for the main campus assessment at Mingzhu Academy again.

"I am very pleased because I have seen the growth of many people since the freshman orientation."

"Not long ago, someone compared the main campus's assessment to a demon looming over our entire Qing Campus. It looked down on you, spurred you on, and made you constantly train hard for it."

Watching Dean Xiao deliver his passionate speech on stage, Xu Zhaoting felt a surge of enthusiasm.

"Xu Zhaoting, this assessment can be done in groups, let's do it together," Zhao Manyan said to Xu Zhaoting.

Xu Zhaoting nodded, then a serious expression appeared on his face.

"Zhao Manyan, Brother Chen warned me that there might be Black Church spies among the new students, and you might encounter danger if you follow them."

Hearing Xu Zhaoting's reminder, Zhao Manyan smiled, patted his chest, and said:

"It's nothing. My dad's health improved a lot after eating Brother Xu's cooking a few times recently, and he bought me a high-level magical artifact."

"Advanced magical artifact."

Xu Zhaoting's eyes revealed envy. Magical artifacts are much more expensive than magical tools, and high-level magical artifacts are worth at least hundreds of millions!

With Chen Ge's help, he cultivated the lightning element to the second level of the intermediate stage, but he still didn't have the money to equip himself with a suitable spirit seed.

If I were to ask Brother Chen for help, that would be incredibly shameless, even if this spirit seed is nothing to Brother Chen.

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

During the past six months, Xu Zhaoting did not choose to spend his time peacefully at school, but instead registered as a hunter like Mo Fan.

Mo Fan was worried about not having a suitable partner, and since Xu Zhaoting was also quite capable, the two teamed up.

Although it's still quite a distance from the 20 million needed to purchase spirit seeds, it's at least steadily accumulating.

"Old Xu, if you need money, I can lend it to you. You can pay me back later."

Zhao Manyan said generously that since his father's health improved significantly, his allowance had increased several times over.

There was only one requirement: you had to maintain a good relationship with Xu Beichen.

Zhao Manyan had absolutely no way to deal with this.

Although Brother Xu treated him fairly well, they were just ordinary friends.

After all, he's not a girl, so we can't really ask his dad to have another child, can we?

Even if we were to have another child, it would be too late!

Since building a good relationship with Xu Beichen isn't working, the only option left is to target Mo Fan and Xu Zhaoting.

Thanks to his relationship with Mo Fan, he at least doesn't have to wait in line for meals anymore.

"this."

Xu Zhaoting hesitated immediately; he didn't really want to be in debt.

"Don't hesitate any longer. With a spirit seed, our chances of winning are much greater. The training opportunities at the Three-Step Tower are priceless."

"Besides, didn't you say there are Black Church spies? If you run into them, your strength might not be enough. Moreover, it's not like I'm not asking you to pay them back."

Zhao Manyan repeatedly advised him that he had been at the second level of the intermediate stage of the Light Elemental Realm for some time, and that he might be able to break through to the third level of the intermediate stage in one fell swoop with the help of the Three-Step Tower!

Upon hearing the name of the Black Church, Xu Zhaoting's eyes immediately hardened.

"Alright, I'll pay you back with interest later."

"Given our relationship, we'll waive the interest."

Since Mo Fan had already entered the main campus last year, Xu Beichen gave Xu Zhaoting a few special instructions.

Although Xu Zhaoting doesn't possess the Earthly Sacred Spring, Mu Yuang is known for his vengeful nature and there's a high probability he won't let Xu Zhaoting off the hook.

There was once a powerful family that offended the Black Church and was wiped out, reduced to a third-rate family.

This is why only the Inquisition relentlessly pursues the Black Church, while other forces rarely participate.

With the spirit seed and Zhao Manyan fully equipped, Xu Zhaoting had no problem dealing with a few small rats.
