Full-Time Magister: My Elements Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 45: Clues to the Scaled Demon Mother?

"Alright, Grandpa, Xiaoyu is still just a child. I heard he made quite a splash at Pearl Academy this time."

Leng Qing covered her mouth and chuckled, making excuses for Lin Yu.

Although it was just a very natural movement, her voice, appearance, and overall temperament all showcased the charm of a mature woman.

"It would have been better if we hadn't talked about this." Old Bao glared at him, then grabbed Lin Yu's ear. "Didn't we agree that you'd just go to school quietly?"

"And now? The only dual-discipline student at 'Pearl Academy'! Suspected high-level mage, suppressing his peers?"

"That's quite a prestigious title."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Lin Yu did not resist, nor did he want to resist, and was thus pulled by the ear by Old Man Bao.

"Alright, Grandpa." Leng Qing walked over to Lin Yu and rescued him from Old Man Bao's grasp. "Look how old he is, and you're still pulling his ears like you did when he was a kid."

"It's understandable that you were strict with him when he didn't do well in elementary and middle school, but now that he's so outstanding, you're still not satisfied."

Leng Qing grumbled under her breath as she tiptoed and gently rubbed Lin Yu's slightly reddened ears.

Lin Yu looked down at Leng Qing's face and his heart started racing.

Since Leng Qing left Shanghai for Hangzhou due to her age, this was the first time the two had been so intimate.

Especially between their breaths, and the slight touch of their bodies.

"Hmph~ You better watch out!" Old Bao's snort was directed at Lin Yu, while the "watch out" was for Leng Qing. "This kid has always looked at you strangely since he was little."

Hearing this, Leng Qing chuckled. She was already standing on tiptoe and was not very steady, and this chuckle broke her balance, causing her to lean directly into Lin Yu's arms.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu recalled how he used to pester Leng Qing when he was a child.

Old Bao glanced at the two of them, then angrily walked towards the kitchen, wanting to avoid seeing them. Seeing that Lingling with pigtails was still eating melons on the side, he glared at her and called her away to the kitchen as well.

"What are you thinking about?" After Old Man Bao left, Leng Qing became even more unrestrained. She released her hand from kneading Lin Yu's ears, pressing her entire weight onto him, her slender fingers teasing his chin. "Could what Grandpa said be true?"

As she spoke, her warm breath brushed against Lin Yu's neck, and a unique fragrance rushed to the top of his head, leaving Lin Yu stiff and somewhat at a loss.

He stammered and couldn't get a word out.

"As expected, he's still a younger brother!" Leng Qing chuckled and straightened up, as if she had reverted to the sharp-eyed, cold, beautiful, and murderous deputy judge of the Lingyin Tribunal.

Lin Yu looked at Leng Qing, whose appearance was extremely different from before.

His determination to win her over grew stronger. Money didn't matter; what mattered was his genuine affection.

after eating.

Leng Qing and Old Man Bao left the Qingtian Hunting Grounds. She must have come back this time because she needed Old Man Bao's help with something; otherwise, she wouldn't normally leave the Lingyin Tribunal.

Their gazes shifted away from Leng Qing's retreating figure.

Lin Yu looked at the little girl beside him, "Lingling, have you got any big orders lately?"

"No, I'll keep an eye on everything for you. If there's any, I'll definitely save it for you." Lingling answered quickly. She knew very well that Lin Yu who didn't talk about money was one person, and Lin Yu who talked about money was another.

She didn't want to be bothered, or she'd be driven crazy by it.

"By the way, have you received any particularly strange requests lately?" Lin Yu asked again, wanting to know if the 'Scaled Demon Mother,' a walking 'warrior-level spirit,' had appeared.

Xiao Lan's advancement is different from that of the elements. Lin Yu checked the system and found that she advanced according to the growth stages of demons.

Little Blue was hatched using a 'Warrior-level' essence, and grew from 'infancy' to 'juvenile' using another 'Warrior-level' essence.

The process from 'infancy' to 'growth' requires consuming six warrior-level essences and one commander-level essence.

Before the holiday even started, Lin Yu transferred the 5000 million yuan that Zhao Manyan had earned to Old Man Bao, asking him to help purchase 'General-level' essence.

He had calculated that buying ordinary "warrior-level" essences outside was cheaper than buying general "essences" from the system. The main reason was that he wasn't in a hurry. If he were in a hurry, the system would be more expensive, but it always had stock.

If we obtain the essence of the 'Scaled Mother Demon', we'll only need three more 'General-level' essences to fill the gap of six. It should only cost around 6000 million.

I wonder if Xiao Lan's strength will reach the advanced stage of "Warrior Level" after consuming these six "Warrior Level" essences.

Lin Yu hasn't considered a commander-level spirit yet.

In the system shop, this thing is worth 6 million in cash, the same as a Soul Seed.

"A strange request?" Lingling frowned and thought about it seriously for a moment, then continued, "There really is one request that's a bit strange."

Hearing Lingling's words, Lin Yu snapped out of his reverie. "Did anyone answer? Let's go check."

Lingling nodded, walked to the counter, and took out four or five contracts.

She picked one out and handed it to Lin Yu.

After taking it, he glanced at the page recording the specific events and then tossed the contract back.

"This won't do? Although it's not a million-dollar order, it's still half a million, okay?"

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

Lingling rearranged the contract that Lin Yu had just thrown on the table and put it back among the other contracts she had brought with her.

"What are the remaining commissions?"

"Are they all recent?"

Lin Yu looked at the four or five commissions in Lingling's hand and asked.

"Yes, all of them were in the last two days. The others have already been taken by my senior and junior brothers."

"They haven't finished yet, and they've already accumulated four or five jobs from these two ends. However, one job is in a bit of a rush. If you have some free time, you can take over, but it's only 30."

Are you in a hurry?

Lin Yu, somewhat curious, took all the commission contracts from Lingling's hands and began to look through them.

Most of them are simple problems that a beginner mage can solve.

The prices are all around 300,000.

After looking at them for a while, Lin Yu showed no interest in them whatsoever. If this had happened back in high school, he would have accepted them all.

He sighed.

Lin Yu put the contract back on the table.

"Why didn't you watch the last one? That one was the more urgent one."

Lingling asked curiously.

"I'm not watching anymore, it's pointless. The price isn't high and the things involved are all trivial matters, nothing but trouble. I prefer a simple and straightforward approach."

"It's also quick to process."

Lin Yu leaned back in his chair, his hands clasped behind his head, looking rather uninterested.

"Okay, this urgent one is also quite boring. The husband suspects his wife of murder and asks us to help protect himself and their child."

"This was delivered early this morning. If you're free tomorrow, junior brother, you can give it to him."

After saying that, Lingling stood up and took the contract in her hand to put it back on the counter.
