Full-Time Mage: Double Return, Niu Ma Mo Fan

Chapter 29 The Rise of China! He must be a cult archbishop!
"Emperor-level?!?!" Mo Fan and Gu Han's exclamations echoed across the training ground.

Even the Black Beast Demon Mo Fan, a warrior-level expert, can only barely win now.

He could hardly imagine the ranks of commanders and monarchs, and now there's an emperor-level one. He's completely dumbfounded!

To outsiders, Mo Fan is the Great Demon King of Mingzhu, but in Mo Fan's eyes, Meng Qiuzhen is the real Great Demon King!
Mo Fan thought he could take off once Old Wolf advanced to the level of a War General, but now Meng Qiuzhen has brought two War General-level cubs, making Mo Fan so envious he's about to explode.

He still remembered that when he won the bid for Qianjun at the China World Trade Center, the starting price for that adult warrior-level sparrow was 7000 million!
Mo Fan was a worldly man, but looking at the two little guys around Meng Qiuzhen, he admitted that he couldn't calculate their value, not even estimate it.

These young pets are priceless!
Qiu Yuhua's curiosity was not satisfied after seeing the little black tortoise. He wanted to study the little flame bird on Meng Qiuzhen's shoulder, but the arrogant and unfriendly gaze made him reluctantly extinguish the idea.

If he dares to do that, he might get flames splattered on his face the next moment.
Without lingering, Meng Qiuzhen and Mo Fan left together.

Qiu Yuhua and Gu Han were left behind.

“Mingzhu. Mingzhu should prosper!” Gu Han couldn’t help but exclaim.

Having been a teacher for so many years, he had seen countless geniuses, but Meng Qiuzhen and the other person gave him a very special feeling.

His intuition told him that these two would definitely become prominent figures in the future!
"No, it's not Mingzhu Dangxing."

"Perhaps it is the time for China to rise again!" Qiu Yuhua pushed up his glasses, his eyes shining brightly on his aged face!
China today is not even considered a powerful nation in the world.

At that moment, he saw hope!
I saw the hope of our motherland rising!
It will surely illuminate the East in the future!
……

On the day of the exchange student meeting, Dean Songhe of the Imperial Capital University explained the details of the training program to everyone.

The students from Pearl Academy and Imperial Capital Academy were going to the same place for training, so their meeting was held together.

"The destination for this training exercise is Jinlin City in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain!"

"Jinlin City? I've never heard of such a city before."

"This Jinlin City is a bit special because it was erased from the map fifteen years ago." Teacher Qiu Yuhua said slowly.

"Erase it from the map??"

Many trainees looked bewildered; they had never heard of a city being completely flattened!
"Fifteen years ago, a demonic calamity struck the Dongting Lake Plain."

While listening to Song He's explanation, Meng Qiuzhen noticed that Qiu Yuhua's expression was not good.

Presumably, just like in the original story, he had a big argument with Lu Nian, with Mo Fan, who was exposed as a multi-elemental person, being the main culprit.

He couldn't help but recall everything that happened during his trials in the Jinlin Temple in the original story.

Ultimately, the battle ended with the deaths of many outstanding trainees, and Mo Fan's plot to kill the commander in Xizhao Valley brought it to a complete close.

Meng Qiuzhen's goal this time to maximize his profits is simply to kill the commander, but he seems to think the commander is of little value to him.

Perhaps only after Mo Fan injures the giant lizard pseudo-dragon and wipes out its clan of lizard-headed giants can he make some money.

After all, his Yin-Yang diagram could easily contain the entire clan, and it would take thousands or even tens of thousands of demons to satisfy his appetite!
It's just unknown whether Mo Fan will receive a refund after obtaining the Demon element.

If it were possible, that would be the greatest benefit!

While Meng Qiuzhen was wandering in the heavens, Dean Songhe was still speaking.

"I need you to collect data on this desolate city."

"Is it just statistical data?"

Statistics seem like a very simple thing to do.

"Dean, you asked us to count the number of servant-level and warrior-level demons. Shouldn't we include the commander-level demons?" Luo Song asked naively. "Oh, if you encounter a commander-level demon and manage to come back alive, that would be quite an achievement," Dean Songhe said casually.

His words sent chills down everyone's spines.

……

The Dongting Lake Plain also belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The infamous Lizard-Skull Giant Tribe, which has seized Jinlin City as its lair, uses Dongting Lake as its base.

After arriving at the city closest to Jinlin City by air, the seventeen students from Mingzhu Academy and Didu Academy had to proceed on foot.

The railway, built fifteen years ago, is now abandoned and will likely lie buried in weeds forever.

It's quite rare for it to visit today, not as a train, but as a group of experienced students from prestigious universities.

“I’ve looked at the map. This tunnel is two kilometers long. I suggest we just cross the mountain directly and avoid dealing with unknown species and numbers of creatures in the dark cave,” Song Xia said to the people behind her.

“I say you’re being too cautious. Who cares what’s inside? Just charge in,” Lu Zhenghe immediately said.

Finally, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Meng Qiuzhen.

He had his hands behind his head, looking like he was on a picnic.

However, it must be admitted that his strength is truly extraordinary!

They're not even on the same level as those students who are already among the best!

Those with strong abilities are often automatically elected as captains or decision-makers.

But given Meng Qiuzhen's penchant for slacking off, he naturally wouldn't take on the role of captain; it's just a title, and he can't actually do anything about it.

"Old Meng, why don't you take out your lucky charm and give it a try?"

Mo Fan suggested that he had now learned to rely on luck when in doubt.

These words drew everyone's attention. What is the Goddess of Luck?
"Mo Fan, don't be so superstitious, okay? If it doesn't work one day, it could kill someone," Meng Qiuzhen said helplessly.

He was obviously manipulating things behind the scenes, since the goddess of fortune couldn't speak anyway.

Since the message must be expressed through his mouth, his will represents the will of Lady Luck, and he can say whatever he wants.

He's definitely a feudal-era cult archbishop.
However, he didn't want Mo Fan to develop the habit of needing spoilers to beat dungeons.

"Old Meng, let's take it out and test the waters. It doesn't matter if it's inaccurate, at least it'll give us some peace of mind," Zhao Manyan agreed with Mo Fan's suggestion.

"Alright, I'll play along with you guys." Meng Qiuzhen nodded and, right in front of everyone, pulled out a wooden statue of the Goddess of Fortune from who-knows-where.

"Is this the Goddess of Luck you've been talking about?" Mu Nujiao asked, looking at the Goddess of Luck's eerie face with only three eyes and no other features.

A small wooden carving wouldn't be enough to scare her, a mid-level mage from a top-tier academy.

Unlike Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, this was the first time she had ever heard of Meng Qiuzhen's existence.

The others were in a similar situation, wondering what tricks this so-called goddess of fortune would pull.

Under everyone's gaze, Meng Qiuzhen raised it high and said in a deep voice:
"Goddess of Fortune! Tell me, one of the three most handsome men in China, what will happen in this incident?"
