Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 98 Why don't you just rob it?

We said goodbye to Dean Xiao.

At 3 p.m., Chu Ming prepared to depart and board the last flight to the ancient capital.

At this moment, Mo Fan came to stand in front of Chu Ming.

"Old Chu, the dean said you're also going to the ancient capital. I have friends there and am quite familiar with it. Why don't we go together?" Mo Fan said earnestly.

"Weren't you focused on ranking up for the National Academy spot recently? If you go to the ancient capital now, you won't have time to participate in the National Academy training, and the spot in the academy competition might be taken back by someone else." Chu Ming asked rhetorically.

"My friend has had an accident in the ancient capital and gone missing. I have to go there. I need to see him alive or dead." Mo Fan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes resolute.

"Okay, let's do it together. I might be able to help look for your friend too."

Chu Ming sighed.

Since Dean Xiao had told Mo Fan about his trip to the ancient capital...

Clearly, they also hoped that they could act together so that they could return to the Nationalist government for training as soon as possible.

4:30 PM.

The last passenger plane slowly descended from the dark clouds, arriving in this ancient capital, a land of the dead.

As soon as Chu Ming and Mo Fan got off the plane, they felt a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

The autumn wind was bleak, and dark clouds filled the distant sky, plunging the world into gloom. The entire city, true to its name "City of the Dead," was devoid of any life.

The Land of the Dead is world-renowned.

Although Chu Ming had always known about this place, this was his first time here.

Legend has it that the ancient capital is rich in spirits because of the tomb of the ancient king, and the entrance to the tomb of the ancient king, the progenitor of spirits, is said to be near the ancient capital.

"But it's an ancient city after all. Judging from the atmosphere, something big is about to happen..."

Looking down at the patrolling group of mages.

Chu Ming could clearly feel the atmosphere of the ancient capital, just like Hangzhou before, which was under a state of strict city alert.

Before coming, in order to understand the rumors of "the most terrifying undead disaster in a thousand years," he specifically called Jiang Yu and Ai Jiangtu to ask if they had any inside information.

After all, the "Undead Scourge" had gone viral on various campus forums.

The school authorities did not take any action to stop it.

This is clearly not right.

And then... something really happened!

I learned from Jiang Yu that Zhu Meng, a member of the Strategic Affairs Department of the Imperial Palace, has personally visited the ancient capital.

Ai Jiangtu informed Chu Ming.

The military magistrates of the Southern Army are also preparing to send more personnel to the ancient capital.

All signs.

It has already been shown that this undead calamity is by no means a minor incident.

We arrived at the exit.

A uniformed officer stopped the two at the exit and said sternly, "Gentlemen, every passenger landing needs to show their identification."

Chu Ming and Mo Fan presented their respective Mingzhu Academy student IDs as proof.

The registration is complete.

I hailed a taxi.

The two drove to the city center of the ancient capital and randomly booked a room at a hotel.

Led by Mo Fan, Chu Ming arrived at a teahouse and met his friend, a military mage who also came from Bo City.

"Mo Fan...you actually came, kid? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

The young man looked at Mo Fan with surprise.

"Tell me more about Xiao Hou's situation," Mo Fan said earnestly.

"Hmm." The young man nodded. "I went to ask Instructor Flying Horn about it..."

"But one thing is certain: the incident occurred between Yangyang Village and Hua Village, two villages located in dangerous settlements."

"However, according to information from the military, that area later became part of the area affected by Sha Yuan."

"Young Hou might..."

soon.

After hearing the news from this fellow villager.

Mo Fan was immediately startled.

Sha Yuan?

How could it be the Abyss of Evil?

He had occasionally talked to Xiao Hou about the relationship between the City of the Dead and the undead.

I also learned a bit about Sha Yuan.

If it's this thing, even a super-level mage would have a negligible chance of survival.

……

After understanding the situation.

Mo Fan and Chu Ming walked out of the teahouse.

"Don't worry, Zhang Xiaohou will return safely, and the ancient capital will be safe and sound."

Chu Ming calmly patted Mo Fan on the shoulder.

The catastrophe in the ancient capital was clearly more troublesome than the demon invasion of Hangzhou.

But compared to the Hangzhou incident.

The ancient capital's advantage lies in its timely response. Regardless of the circumstances, with proactive preparations, holding the city is definitely not a problem.

Although this was a disaster.

But for Chu Ming personally...

It is also an excellent opportunity.

The large-scale invasion of undead means he has a large amount of undead fire to collect.

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

Last time, resolving the disaster in Hangzhou provided approximately 9 points. This time, resolving the disaster in the ancient capital should definitely provide at least 10 points.

Mo Fan turned to Mo Fan and asked, "Old Chu, what are your thoughts?"

Chu Ming stroked his chin: "Let's go check out the hunter mages. There are many locals and self-taught mages there, so they have more information."

The Chu family started as hunters.

He naturally knew the ins and outs of the hunter mage.

The two were not locals and were unfamiliar with everything here.

And the dead are often far more bizarre than demons.

To rescue someone, you need a reliable team.

"Um."

Mo Fan thought for a moment and nodded.

Zhang Xiaohou disappeared between the dilapidated villages of Yangyang and Huacun.

If you want to get to the small village outside the city as soon as possible to investigate the situation, finding a local is the best option.

A short while later.

The two arrived at the Gulou Hunters Alliance.

The Hunter's Hall was very crowded.

Compared to the solemn patrol atmosphere outside.

The atmosphere among the mage hunters was exceptionally lively.

It has to be said that when it comes to boldness and a fearless, proactive attitude towards creating mischief, the Hunter Mage is the best.

Chu Ming glanced at the scrolling bounty screen.

The most frequent request was for "rescue".

It appears to be an undead riot.

It wasn't just Zhang Xiaohou, who was a military strategist, who went missing.

Many people paid hunters to rescue their friends and family.

"Wow, there are quite a few rescue teams here," Chu Ming muttered to himself.

"What rescue? They're just corpse-collecting teams."

A hoarse voice came from behind.

Chu Ming turned his head and saw a short hunter mage standing next to him.

"Hey buddy, it looks like this is your first time visiting the Ancient Capital Hunters Alliance."

A hint of smugness appeared in the short man's eyes.

"What's wrong? What can I do for you?" Chu Ming asked.

"The most common saying among the monks here is, 'If someone gets separated from the group at night, don't look back; come back during the day to collect the body!'"

"Now that the undead are attacking, those who make requests just don't want to see their loved ones become part of those filthy things outside." The short man smiled smugly, showing off his experience, "So, our Ancient Capital Hunter Alliance is almost turning into a corpse-collecting alliance."

"Young man, you must have a family member or friend who has gone missing to come here, right?"

Mo Fan, standing to the side, grew impatient: "Stop talking nonsense, how much does it cost to go to Yangyang Village and Hua Village?"

The short man squinted, then chuckled, held up one finger, and said, "Ten million."

"Ten million?!" Mo Fan's eyes widened. "Why don't you just rob someone?!"
