Versatile Mage's Magic Talent

"I am the owner of a fish farm in the western suburbs of Shanghai. Every night there are inexplicably fewer fish in my pond. I have asked the police and city hunters to take a look, but they are useless. If you can help me solve this matter, The deposit is 300,000 yuan, and another 300,000 yuan will be paid after completion.”

An old man smoking in the teahouse sat up from his recliner and listened to the boss's story inattentively. When the boss finished, he said lazily:

"What you said is so bizarre that we can't solve it."

"A deposit of 500,000 yuan, and an additional 500,000 yuan after completion." People who can be bosses are very observant. They can tell at a glance that they have paid too little and others are unwilling to take on the task.

"We currently don't have any hunters willing to take on the mission at our hunting ground," the old man said without even blinking.

"A deposit of 500,000 yuan, and an additional 1 million yuan after completion." The boss gritted his teeth and continued to raise the price.

"Okay, you leave the power of attorney, and our hunting station will send someone to solve it tonight." Upon seeing this, the old man changed his mind and made a decision.

Hearing this, the boss quickly modified the amount on the power of attorney, signed his name, and then left the hunting house.

"Tsk tsk, private hunting houses make money quickly."

Seeing this scene, Qin Chen smiled in his heart. This kind of business that raises prices from the ground up means that the money comes quickly.

"Young man, do you understand?" The old man glanced at Qin Chen and asked.

"Yes, I understand." Qin Chen nodded.

"Oh? What did you understand?" the old man asked curiously.

"To do business, you have to be like you, learn how to raise prices on the ground; to run a hunting lodge, just like you are to the Qingtian Hunting Lodge, learn to roll wool; to be a human being, like Lingling, have a vision, know how to identify fat sheep, and can act." Qin Chen After pondering for a moment, he truthfully stated his feelings.

"Cough cough!!"

"Puch!!"

Hearing this, the old man choked on the cigarette. Lingling, who had just taken a sip of milk tea, spat out the milk tea. The young man and the old man looked at Qin Chen in surprise, as if thinking about what kind of logic this was.

"Ahem, young people's ideas are novel. In this case, this commission will be left to you."

"My surname is Bao, just call me Old Man Bao."

The old man said awkwardly.

"Is there anyone left in our hunting station? I won't be the only one to take on this mission." Qin Chen looked at Old Man Bao and said.

"Lingling, give him a partner." Old Man Bao looked at Lingling who was still drinking milk tea over there.

"Old man Bao, you want me to take a little girl under ten years old to hunt monsters? People who don't know think I'm a human trafficker, kidnapping children!" Qin Chen said pretending to be surprised.

"Hmph, who are you looking down on? It's me, the master hunter, who takes you to hunt monsters, you rookie!"

Hearing this, Lingling unconvincedly took out a hunter badge, raised her little head, and said arrogantly.

"Master Hunter? Are you very smart?" Qin Chen guessed after seeing this badge, thinking for a moment.

"It seems that you are not very stupid, right?" Lingling said with a smile. She likes people to praise her for being smart instead of treating her like a child.

In the evening, the sun sets in the west, reflecting the evening glow. The scenery in the suburbs of Magic City is charming. The lush lawns and green trees on both sides of the road all give people a sense of natural tranquility. There is a villa and several houses here, and Dozens of excavated ponds, each stocked with a variety of fish.

A man and a woman, one big and one small, walked in from outside, came to the pond and observed the surrounding environment.

"Lingling, do you think this was a man-made theft or was it done by a demon?"

Qin Chen saw that there were walls built around each fish pond, and there were large nets covering the ponds. In this case, if he wanted to steal fish without destroying things outside, in his understanding, the demon could not do it. Arrived.

"We'll find out tonight. You, go and put all these things in this place, quickly."

Lingling didn't even look at Qin Chen, then took out a lot of miniature cameras and a sketch of a fish pond from her small schoolbag and asked him to install them.

"This thing is very useful. I will buy a few and wear them in the future."

He was very interested in looking at the camera the size of a glass bead in his hand. It was a must-have for a monk and a traveler. He felt that he had to learn it, otherwise it would be bad to be considered an amateur.

Chapter 20 Black cats can dig holes

"Lingling, staying up late is not good for your health." At two o'clock in the evening, Qin Chen, who was sitting in the villa, said to Lingling, who was still staring at the computer.

"So, I choose to stay up all night." Lingling said bluntly without looking back.

"." These words immediately left him speechless.

"Girls can't stay up all night, otherwise they won't be able to get married in the future!" Qin Chen persuaded her earnestly again.

"How can men have as much fun as hunting monsters!"

Lingling's answer was still so sharp, with no flaws at all. He couldn't find any loopholes even if he tried to find them, and was unable to refute.

"Something's happening. Go to surveillance gate number three quickly." Lingling urged, staring at the computer screen.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chen immediately rushed out of the villa and rushed to camera No. 3. He had installed those cameras himself, so he naturally knew where No. 3 was.

But when he rushed to camera No. 3, he found that there was nothing here. Even the lawn was intact, and it didn't look like anything had been there.

"Yin Xian - Exploration"

Seven white stars connected to form a star track at his feet, and the surroundings of the stars were illuminated like light bulbs. When the star track was connected, with his feet as the center, the sound wave spread out in all directions like a drop of water dripping into a calm pond. .

Each sound wave was like his eyes. Everything he saw was clear at a glance. Anything the sound waves touched would be fed back with information. He knew everything about the sound waves. At this moment, he was like standing in God's perspective, observing all the areas covered by the sound waves. Even things within one meter underground could not escape his detection.

"He actually dug a hole underground and covered it with lawn after digging it. Are the monsters so smart nowadays? No wonder the police and the people from the city's monster hunting team couldn't find it. If I hadn't had music magic , I’m afraid I won’t be able to find it even if I come here.”

Under the sound system's exploration, everything around him was nowhere to be found. The demon that disappeared here had already entered the fish pond along the hole that had been dug.

"Sit back and wait. Since it entered from here, it will come out from here after stealing the fish."

Qin Chen thought for a moment and did not go into the fish pond to catch the monster. First of all, the hole was too small and he couldn't get in. Secondly, he was afraid of disturbing the snake and letting the monster escape. The best option was to wait and see.

"Qin Chen, there is something abnormal at No. 4. Go and have a look." Lingling's voice came through the earphones.

"Damn it, are these monsters teaming up to steal fish?"

Hearing Lingling's voice, Qin Chen immediately ran to No. 4 to check. Needless to say, it was the same method of committing the crime. There was no difference. Even the size of the hole was exactly the same. It seemed that it was done by the same kind of demon.

"Qin Chen, something is wrong with No. 5 and No. 6." At this time, Lingling's voice came again.

"There are too many thieves. It's impossible to catch them all at once, so just catch the first few."

He did not continue to explore the rest, but returned to the third monitoring point and waited for the demon to come out. It would take some time for the demon to steal fish. If he could take advantage of this time difference to catch more, if he couldn't catch it, Then at least one should be captured and brought back for business.

At this moment, at the entrance of Cave No. 3, a one-meter-tall black cat came out of the hole. The cat's eyes were particularly bright in the dark night. It was worth it that it still had a big, not dead, dead animal in its mouth. The fish, the fishy smell and fish blood remaining on its mouth, and the slightly bulging belly of the cat all indicate that it has just had a feast inside, and it did not forget to pack it before leaving. It is really a good cat with cat ethics. !

And Qin Chen discovered that this was an advanced slave-level cat demon.

"Meow~~~~"

When the black cat came out and saw Qin Chen, it cried out and immediately pounced on him. The black cat was short and thin, but very fast. It jumped up from the ground in the blink of an eye and grabbed his neck with its sharp claws.

"Wand sword!"

Now Qin Chen is no longer what he used to be. Not only has he become an intermediate mage, but his physical fitness and reaction ability are many times stronger than those of an elementary mage. The wand and sword instantly appeared in his hand. Facing the attack of the black cat, he raised his The wand and sword in his hand just slashed through.

"Tear~~~~~"

I saw the blade of the wand sword hitting the black cat's claws. The sharp blade directly chopped off the black cat's claws. The blade continued to slash at the black cat staying in the air. One sword penetrated the soul, and the other sword broke two. , the black cat at the advanced stage slave level was split in two by the wand sword, chopped in half from head to tail, blood flying, shocking and extremely cruel.

Since Qin Chen got the wand sword, he has spent half an hour every day practicing using the wand sword. After learning to release the intermediate magic of the space system, he has used the pressure of space to train his body, making himself covered every time. It was an injury, and in the end, the vitality drawn from it was used to restore the injury.

It is through this kind of extreme training that he has strong physical fitness and smooth swordsmanship. Now, he can easily kill slave-level demons with just a wand and sword without using magic or magic energy. !

"I thought it was a mouse, but it turned out to be a cat. In this day and age, even cats can dig holes. Will sows climb trees in the future?"

Qin Chen still couldn't believe it when he saw the scene in front of him. Cats could dig holes. This was simply refreshing his understanding of animals.

"Qin Chen, what are you doing? Once you've solved it here, go to the next place. There was something strange at No. 4 just now."

Lingling's angry voice came out from the earphones, obviously unhappy with Qin Chen's lazy behavior.

"Okay, okay, I'm just one person. I can't do anything at all. There are so many places that I can't take care of."

After saying that, Qin Chen immediately ran to the direction of the wild area at the No. 4 entrance. Since the cat demon at No. 4 has run out, he will definitely not find it when he returns to the No. 4 position, so he will chase the cat in the direction of escape.

With the power of space under his feet, he ran as fast as the wind, and soon he caught up with the cat demon who was still running away.

"Mind Control-Void Claw"

In one thought, the star track completed the connection, and he grabbed the black cat's position in the void. The silver void claw suddenly appeared in front of the black cat, grabbed the black cat's head accurately, and then twisted it casually, with a click, and the black cat The cat's head was directly twisted off by the silver claws, and the fish in its mouth also fell to the ground.

"Meow~~~~~"

At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly heard a very obscure cat's meow. If he had not awakened his sound system and had sharp hearing, he probably would not have heard this cat's meow. This seemed to be a signal!

"Qin Chen, all the supervisors who sent out letters before have experienced abnormalities. What's going on?" Lingling asked anxiously.

"What else can happen? Mom told them to bring food home. You stay in the villa and don't come out. I'll go take a look."

Thinking of the behavior of every black cat holding a fish in its mouth, he immediately guessed that these black cats had a plan and premeditation to steal the fish.

Chapter 21 Life Drain (I)

"Suzaku Wings"

With a thought, fire magic energy was injected into his back. On his back, there was a pair of red wings tattooed. However, when the magic energy was injected into the wings tattoo, the wings miraculously came to life. The broad, fiery red wings , blazing, holy and flawless wings are displayed behind him.

It leaped up and soared into the sky. With a slight flap of its wings, it flew straight into the sky, heading towards the direction of the cat's cry that was like a signal. Even Lingling, who was in the villa, could clearly see a pair of bright red flaming wings soaring into the sky in the darkness of the night, leaving a beautiful fiery red line in the air.

He could use the pair of Suzaku wings easily after he reached the intermediate level of magician, and the magic energy consumed by flying with the Suzaku wings was very little. He had never used wing magic tools, but he felt that this pair of wings seemed to have grown out of his own body. It was easy to control them without any difficulty, and the compatibility was 120%.

The Wings of Suzaku are Suzaku's inherited wings. With his current level of mid-level magic power, there is no bird below the commander level that can fly faster than him!

In an instant he arrived at the place where the cat's cry came from. Flying in the air, he looked down and found that there were also two pairs of shining cat's eyes alerting him. The two black cats did not differ much from the appearance of slave-level black cats, except that their fur was darker and their height was twice that of ordinary slave-level cat monsters.

"Two warrior-level black cats, they look like a pair. They really need to form a team to catch fish, and they have to bring double portions of food!"

He could see the true levels of the two cat demons below at a glance. What he didn't expect was that the warrior-level cat demon actually commanded his younger brother to steal fish. How many cats who like to eat fish would have such an idea? There are so many fish in the sea, and there are countless seafood. Wouldn’t it be more delicious to catch fish in the sea? Do you have to steal fish from human fish ponds?

"Meow!!!"

"Meow!!!"

The two black cats did not run away after seeing Qin Chen. Instead, they were watching Qin Chen from below. It seemed that they were reluctant to part with their little brother, or in other words, their late night snack.

"I like fish so much, I'll treat you to grilled cat today!"

Fiery breath burst out from his body, and crimson flames swirled around his body, complementing the pair of crimson Suzaku wings behind him. The fiery red stars quickly connected under his feet to form a perfect star map. The star map was in The connection between the stars formed a fist shape.

"Fierce Fist - Hongtian"

At the moment when the star map was completed, the surrounding fire elements gathered crazily towards his right hand. The hot flame breath wrapped around his right hand. As he punched out, all the flames suddenly rushed out of his hand. , forming a red flaming fist with a diameter of ten meters and hitting one of the cat monsters below.

The space where the huge flaming fist passed was burned with an explosive sound. Before it reached the ground, the vibrant green grass on the lawn instantly burned, and even the soil underground became dry and cracked. The cat demon below was even more... Needless to say, the flaming fist falling from the sky frightened them, and they immediately burst out at extremely fast speeds to avoid the impact range of the fire fist.

Among them, the black cat that was far away from the Fiery Fist was lucky and avoided the coverage of the Fiery Fist, but the black cat that was locked by Qin Chen was not so lucky. The Fiery Fist directly hit the black cat's body. The powerful impact instantly knocked the black cat to the ground. The Suzaku Flame, which was comparable to the most top-level spiritual species, burned the black cat's hair the moment it touched the black cat, and the scorching high temperature roasted its body. Just one punch almost made the general-level black cat lose its combat power. Even he who was flying in the sky could smell the fragrant barbecue.

"Kun's Forest-Cage"

Just after the fierce fist passed, the flame breath was extinguished from his body in an instant, replaced by a clear and natural forest breath. Rich vitality rose from his body. Emerald green stars exuded a peaceful and natural atmosphere in the air. Connected to form a star map like a prison, the moment the star map was completed, the grass on the grass seemed to have been poured water of life, growing crazily, wrapping around the black cat lying on the ground, and at the same time , there were countless vines growing vigorously around it, and in an instant, a thirty-six cubic meter vine cage was formed, trapping the injured black cat in it.

"Meow!!!!"

The trapped black cat suddenly screamed, and Qin Chen saw from the air that the boys who were helping it steal the fish were all rushing towards it. At the same time, the entangled black cat began to use its sharp cat claws He kept tearing off the vines on his body, trying to tear off all the vines and escape.

"If I let you escape, where would my face be?" Qin Chen saw this and said with a disdainful smile. At the same time, he activated his plant talent.

"Life Drain"

In an instant, the black cat, which had just been struggling to escape, suddenly seemed to have been given an anesthetic. Its movements were slowly slowing down, and its strength was constantly weakening. In less than ten seconds, the entire black cat was Panting, it seemed that most of the strength in his body had been drained, and even the black cat's hair began to fall out unconsciously.

At the same time, the vines that wrapped around the black cat began to become stronger because they absorbed the black cat's vitality. Part of the absorbed vitality remained in the vine itself, and part of it was injected into his spiritual world, the plant system nebula, along the vine. It was then absorbed by the wand sword, and an emerald green illusory bead was formed in the groove next to the chaos colored bead of the wand sword. The part of the vitality in the plant nebula was stored in this emerald green bead.

"The plant-based talent of life absorption is too terrifying. Even if this black cat is the weakest among the warrior-level beings and was injured by the fierce fist, it is still a warrior-level after all. In such a short time, it can make the warrior-level The black cat has lost its strength, it’s so unbelievable!”

This is the first time he has used the talent of life absorption to deal with the enemy. In the past, he simply absorbed the vitality of plants. He had never used it on other creatures. No need to know, he would be shocked when he used it!

"This talent is so awesome. It seems that I will have to spend more time to improve my plant ability in the future."

At this moment, he has planned to enhance the power of his plant system. The first step is to find special plants and spirit seeds. Then, use the characteristics of seed-eating to integrate those additional effects into his plant system. The third step is to absorb more vitality to enhance the level of the plant system itself. Now his plant system is just ordinary vines, which is equivalent to ordinary seeds of the elemental system, and it is not even a spirit seed.

Chapter 22 Life Drain (Part )

"Want to run? It's not that easy."

Just when the black cat was trapped, another warrior-level black cat who originally wanted to rescue saw the trapped black cat becoming weak and immediately turned around and ran away without any hesitation. , but how could it escape in front of Qin Chen? Then he flapped his wings and immediately chased after him.
