Versatile Mage: Start by obtaining the White Tiger Pendant

After getting up early in the morning, Lu Jun had faint dark circles under his eyes. He sighed and said, "I feel numb."

Duh duh duh!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside Jinyuan Apartment.

Lu Jun was a little confused. Who would come so early in the morning? At the same time, the sister from the other apartment also came out. She had just woken up and looked lazy. Half of the strap of her pajamas fell off her beautiful shoulder, revealing her delicate collarbone, round shoulders, and a white complexion.

She yawned and said, "Who is it?"

Lu Jun, who was standing aside, was alert by nature. His spiritual nebula was activated, and the mental power of the second realm spread out, sensing the heart lake that existed outside. He had offended many people, so he had to be careful in everything.

After chatting with Ding Yumian for a whole day, he did not gain nothing. At least he could go a step further and analyze the differences between emotions such as murderous intent, hostility, and goodwill.

When Lu Jun realized that the person outside the door was calm, he relaxed and walked forward to open the door. He unexpectedly found that the person who came in was a beautiful and noble woman with a delicate face, attractive features, and a charming figure.

He hesitated and asked, "You are..."

"Hello." The woman said kindly, "I am Mu Nujiao from the Mu family. I am sorry to bother you."

It turned out to be her. Lu Jun understood. She was a supporting actress in the original novel. One year later, she reached the intermediate level in both systems. Now she is the same age as him, and should also have intermediate cultivation. In the early stage, she focused on combat power, and in the future she would change her nature to do work in education.

The Mu family is said to have the talent of a celestial being and is as fond of war as a devil.

Lu Mei in the room heard this and came out, frowning slightly and asked, "What's the matter? Recruiting again?"

During the days when Lu Jun was in a coma after fighting with thousands of freshmen, many aristocratic families in the Magic City came one after another to invite the two siblings.

In fact, there are very few civilian mages with such potential for cultivation, and everyone wants to recruit them under their command.

In the end, Lu Mei rejected them all. If she really wanted to climb the ladder of aristocratic families, she would have joined them in Bo City long ago.

Mu Nujiao didn't care and said calmly, "Yes, I recruited on behalf of the Mu family."

After saying this, Lu Mei stopped and said, "Forget it, we are not interested."

"Okay, it's okay." Mu Nujiao didn't insist. Instead, she acted decisively as if she had completed a task.

Lu Mei and the other person were stunned. In the past, those who came from aristocratic families to recruit them either spoke in an arrogant and condescending tone, or tried to persuade them earnestly and courteously, or even worse, they used threats and inducements. But they were all trying hard to win over their clients, and the powerful people behind the scenes exerted pressure on them.

This is the first time I've seen someone who doesn't care about failure at all.

"Surprised?" Mu Nu smiled and said, "In fact, if it wasn't for the family's request, I wouldn't want to come. It would be useless if I came. If you were willing to join, the dozen or so families ahead of you wouldn't have been defeated. It's obvious that you want independence."

She said slowly, "Comparatively, I would rather maintain friendship with you. I am optimistic about your future. If you want to rent the Galaxy Magic Artifact or purchase the Galaxy Vein, you can discuss it with me."

"I will mobilize my connections to help you build a platform. I think the friendship of the Mu family is what you need."

Hearing Mu Nujiao say this, the two nodded. It was actually more comfortable to get along with each other with this attitude.

Lu Jun secretly thought that it was quite good. It was worthy of being the most impressive one among the four major families in the Magic City in the original novel. The two sisters of the Mu family were smart and capable, with great skills, and there were no playboys under their rule.

"Come to think of it." Mu Nujiao winked at Lu Jun and said, "I am going to enter Mingzhu University next school year, and you are still my senior."

With his sister present, Lu Jun said calmly, "That's quite a coincidence."

Mu Nujiao was also able to read the atmosphere. She glanced at the two of them, smiled sweetly and said, "Then I won't bother you two. This is my business card."

After a moment, she left the piece of paper and left in a leisurely manner.

The two looked at each other, not paying attention to this little episode, and went back to their rooms to practice.

Chapter 84: Minor Flood Season, Yangtze River Alert

Three months passed in a blink of an eye and it was the middle of the semester.

After the day Mu Nujiao came to his house, Lu Jun started to go to school and punch in normally. Although his fame attracted many students' attention while in school, the popularity gradually subsided as time passed.

Those aristocratic families and major forces no longer sent people to visit, obviously knowing the two siblings' plan.

Of course, no one has forgotten the night of the Freshman Beast Fighting Competition, but they just keep their taboos and admiration in their hearts and reflect them in their actions.

So his college life can be described as very carefree.

During these three months, Lu Jun devoted himself to training and lay dormant until the storm had passed. Finally, he mastered the two mid-level magics of mind and curse as proficiently as the two magics of gold and water, and reached the level where he could often release them in two or three seconds.

During this period, he met with Ding Yumian two or three times, using mental pressure to sharpen his will. Although the process was painful, he was surprised that his mental strength really increased significantly and reached the peak of the second level.

When the selection for the National Government War begins in two years, it will be possible to reach the fourth level of the middle realm, which is equivalent to a soul seed and is enough to be included in the upper-level high-level powerhouses.

It should be noted that when the captain of the national team, Ai Jiangtu, first appeared on the stage, his spiritual cultivation level was only at the [Fourth Realm], and he was only a high-level curse system.

And the curse is only one aspect of Lu Jun, he also has three other aspects!

Today, he practiced as usual, shifting his focus from the mind and curse system to the water system, striving to break through to the second level.

Outside Jinyuan Apartment, it was drizzling and abundant water vapor filled the air, creating a very comfortable environment for water mages.

The rain was not heavy, at most moderate, far less than that night in Bo.

But the problem is, the rain has been falling for three days and three nights without stopping. This is too unusual. Even though we are on the coast and there is plenty of water, it is already November and the precipitation should have decreased significantly.

After Lu Jun finished meditating, he stood up and looked at the gloomy weather with a frown. He did not seem happy that the environment was suitable for cultivation.

It should be noted that this month is already autumn, the harvest season. A continuous drizzle fell and the farmers were unable to harvest in time, which was a disaster.

In addition, despite the city's excellent sewer system, urban flooding has gradually occurred, and many people would rather stay at home than go out.

Immediately, Lu Jun turned on the TV, where reporters reported that all major cities in the entire basin of the longest river had suffered floods of varying degrees and suffered heavy losses.

Some experts believe that a monarch-level monster has appeared in the Yangtze River and is causing trouble. It has used the power of the ocean monsoon and flood season to cause continuous rain along the coast and has caused high tides to invade human territory.

It was the evil that caused this disaster, and it can be said that the evil was taking advantage of the power of heaven.

Lu Jun shook his head. The monarch level was too far away, so naturally someone would go and deal with it.

There is no information about this disaster in the original novel. Come to think of it, Mo Fan has been concentrating on cultivation for a year and has almost reached the point of being oblivious to worldly affairs. In addition, his cultivation level is low, so he cannot join in the fun.

He had called Mo Fan occasionally over the past three months, but the other party didn't answer. It seemed that he was determined to come to the academy to show off after he had mastered his supernatural powers. Unfortunately, Senior Lu's legend of one day and one night was a hurdle that he couldn't overcome.

creak~

Suddenly, the door opened and the crisp sound of boots was heard, accompanied by a thick chill.

Lu Mei came back holding an umbrella, her body was a little wet. She took off her high boots and placed them on the shoe cabinet. She shook the water off the umbrella and opened it in the hallway to dry.

"What's the situation?" Lu Jun asked without turning his head: "Have you collected any information?"

The elder sister said solemnly, "There are quite a lot of demon tribes emerging in the Huangpu River, and Chongming Island also has to fight against sea monsters. There is not enough manpower. We don't need to ask for intelligence. The Hunter Alliance will give it to us for free. We need to recruit folk magicians."

In the past few months, Lu Mei has been working hard on the intermediate level of dual systems and has reached her limit. She must obtain the Vein of the Galaxy. The minimum price is 100 million. To be on the safe side, she will have to pay an extra 10 million.

Now I work as an urban management officer in Shanghai. Including my previous work, I have saved a total of 80 million yuan, but there is still a shortfall of several tens of millions yuan.

The brother and sister had been looking for jobs hunting monsters in the wild. They had been investigating for a long time and finally came across this opportunity to intervene. It was obviously safer to follow the official action.

The flood season of the Yangtze River occurs quite frequently, generally from May to October. The flood monster tribes frequently invade both banks and are suppressed by humans.

The shortage of manpower this time was simply due to the unexpected small flood season in November.

"That's fine. We are in the Huangpu River anyway. The highest person who can show up is the commander. The monarch is in Nanjing, which is tens of thousands of miles away. It's safe."

Lu Jun's eyes lit up and he said that because of the Black Church, he had not gone out to hunt monsters for a long time, and the residual souls stored in the White Tiger Pendant had not increased at all.

It just so happened that he had mastered all four types of intermediate magic, and he wanted to hone his strength.

In addition to upgrading the gold system from the initial stage to level four, the other three systems also need to be upgraded.

He considered taking the next level four beginner's class and chose water defense from the water element to strengthen his defense and be infallible.

"When to set off?"

"Now!"

Lu Mei changed into a new set of clothes in the room, tied her hair into a neat ponytail, and said in a straightforward manner.

Originally, Lu Jun wanted to call Ding Yumian, but after thinking about it, he gave up. The other party relied entirely on his talent to improve and did not need to be tempered in battle. Besides, it was better for those who suffered from mental disasters to hide.

In this way, Mo Fan and Qin Yuer on the open side, Lu Jun in the dark, and Ding Yumian in the deepest part, all have one hidden card after another.

Water control and circulation.

Before going out, Lu Jun cast two elementary magic spells. The azure blue water windbreakers on the brother and sister intertwined, absorbing the rain from the sky, leaving them completely dry.

The two braved the moderate rain and followed the wind, and in just over ten minutes they arrived at the gathering place, the center of Shanghai, not far from the Huangpu River that runs through the city.

They saw colorful spells roaring in the rain in the distance, and the military magician suppressed the demon tribe.

Hunters arrived here one after another, about forty or fifty people, all of them were mid-level mages. The official member waiting in the lead was a member of the Inquisition, and surprisingly, it was Tang Yue.

"Hi, long time no see."

The girl with wavy hair, curvaceous figure and a mature face full of charm greeted the brother and sister.

Lu Jun was startled and asked in confusion: "Why did you come here from Hangzhou?"

"Ah, you think I want to." Tang Yue sighed and said, "The Hangzhou Tribunal is basically in charge of the entire southeast, just like a firefighter, they go wherever there is an incident."

"I was originally going to be transferred to Jinling, but when I saw your list was submitted, I applied to come over and take action together."

As they were talking, Lu Mei and the other person suddenly realized.

Tang Yue then looked at the dozens of hunters present. Although their numbers were small and they were all mid-level elites, with a high-level leader, they could even compete with the commander.

She said in a heroic manner: "There is no time to reminisce about the past. We are short of manpower. We need to quickly block a ferry crossing, the Songjiang River, a tributary of the Huangpu River."

The mainstream has large forces to fight against those commander-level forces, and they only need to face the overflow of demons below the general level.

In fact, if the super-class of Magic City could be deployed, it would be much easier to deal with it, but there is a cost issue.

This cost is not labor cost or employment cost.

It is a holistic and comprehensive issue of ruling costs. All human beings are very powerful. If we look at it from the perspective of just the demon clan, they are the most powerful clan.

However, they occupy many places and are heavily surrounded by the Demon Empire. Countless disasters occur every year, including the flood season of the Yangtze River, the backflow of the East China Sea, the siltation of the Yellow River, the sandstorms in the imperial capital, the floods in the south, the ice and snow in the north, etc., accompanied by the invasion of demons.

This was just a minor episode among countless riots. There are also various other disasters across the country, and manpower is tight.

Therefore, when the cost of ruling exceeds a certain limit and the top leaders feel painful or the cost outweighs the gain, they will consider giving up, just like Bo City and Jinlin City.

Chapter 85: Battle against flood monsters

Lu Jun knew that given the importance of the Demon City, it had to be defended no matter how much invasion occurred.

When the situation gets bad, a super-class wizard will eventually take action, so safety is beyond doubt.

Secondly, in Jinling, a group of super-class people have been organized long ago to set up a dragnet to bring the Xun Demon Lord to justice, so they are temporarily unable to take action.

Tang Yue didn't waste any time and led a group of elite hunters to a reservoir dam. In the gloomy weather with wind and rain, the water in the reservoir was surging and the dam was shaking constantly.

The water surface was pitch black, but a closer look revealed that it was not black at all, but rather a collection of huge crocodile shadows. These were the Huangpu Crocodile Monsters, and there were several leaders in this tribe, lurking nearby.

The government has considered clearing it out, but Huangpu is connected to the Yangtze River system, and the demons are endless. After clearing out a group, new groups will migrate in.

Rather than allowing a stronger ethnic group to move in, it is better to selectively keep the weaker ethnic group, which is easier to clean up anyway.

Using demons to control demons and maintaining ecological balance have always been the military's philosophy.

Just like now, the main line of the crocodile demon clan is in the Yangtze River. It is said that it is a sub-dragon monarch who has tempered his bloodline to the peak, and he is also the monarch of this turmoil.

The Huangpu crocodile monster was provoked and also launched an invasion, but was blocked by numerous water valves and river dams and was unable to easily disrupt activities within the city.

All the giant crocodiles on the lake were shaped like dragons, with barbs like steel spikes all over their tails, and their skin was as thick as steel plates wrapped in hard mud. The slave-level ones were eight or nine meters long.

The war general level is more than ten meters long, like a small dragon, and accounts for a very high proportion, there is one war general for every ten slaves, which is amazing. When they emerge, they densely cover the surface of the lake, making it almost impossible to see the water quality, and the scales that flash with cold black light are layered.

In addition, the monsters in the water are generally two to three times stronger than the monsters on land, so this wave of attack is not easy to deal with.

Boom boom boom!

The towering dam shook violently. Even the special material forged with magic had cracks on its surface under the continuous huge force impact, and gravel flew everywhere.

A team of more than a dozen military wizards stood on the dam early, using various spells to bombard, but they were unable to stop the surging crocodiles. They were caught in the "black scale tide" and disappeared in a flash. They were too small and had to dodge the high-pressure water guns spit out by the crocodile monsters from time to time.

The leading military magician saw Tang Yue and said exhaustedly, "You are here, quickly block the dam. We can't let them break it open. Otherwise, they will break into pieces along the river and enter the city's sewers, or the streams in the villages and towns will be difficult to deal with."

Tang Yue frowned, standing somewhat unsteadily on the shaking dam.

Dozens of hunters saw the scene on the lake and took a deep breath, saying, "There must be at least a thousand crocodile monsters here."

A mid-level soldier said: "They are very smart. Once we control the star map, they will sink into the water and most of their magic will be ineffective."
