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

Chapter 4 Two Lively Fools, Will Lady Luck Shake Her Head?

Meng Qiuzhen had her eyes closed; she could hear Mo Fan's exclamation, but she couldn't see his expression.

Ignoring everything else, he continued chanting the incantation that left Lingling speechless.

"Goddess of Fortune! Tell me, one of the two most handsome guys in Shanghai, what will happen in this incident?"

Meng Qiuzhen's words eased the eerie atmosphere.

The rooftop was silent until Meng Qiuzhen spoke again.

"Finally, a general has been encountered?"

Having read the original work, he knew that the Scaled Mother Demon was ultimately a War General, and this was essentially a direct indication of that.

These words startled Mo Fan. A demon at the level of a general?
For this year's freshmen at Mingzhu Academy, if they don't form a team of seven to ten mid-level rank members, they'll be easy prey if they encounter a general-level demon.

"Old Meng, is your prediction accurate?"

"It should be accurate."

"What do you mean by 'should'?!"

"It means 'should,' or roughly."

Lingling glanced at the two of them and commented:
"Two rascals."

She almost believed it when Meng Qiuzhen first showed it to her; now it seems she was just a superstitious young woman.

Neither Lingling nor Mo Fan took Meng Qiuzhen's words seriously.

But this is exactly the effect he wanted.

The more they scoff at something, the more devout they become after the reversal.
"Hasn't that woman finished washing yet?"

Mo Fan asked a question.

Almost half an hour has passed, and the sound of running water from the showerhead can still be heard from the bathroom.

"That's how women take a bath... huh?"

Lingling suddenly realized something, and her little brows furrowed.

When Mo Fan turned on the bathroom security camera, just as he thought he was about to have a good look, he suddenly felt his scalp tingle and a chill run down his spine!

That wasn't a woman taking a bath at all; it was clearly a woman's skin hanging there!
"It feels like a snake shedding its skin."

"Hmph, it really is this thing!"

"Can you find her?"

“It’s hard to find, but as far as I know, this thing likes to suck the blood of young women, and it’s even more interested in magicians. I’ll stay here and watch the child, and you two go and find the woman who has revealed her true form.”

"Okay." Mo Fan knew the situation was urgent and didn't think any further.

He braced himself with both hands and jumped straight off the edge of the roof.

He unleashed the Shadowfall Jump Machine.

"Shadow element." Lingling opened her mouth slightly, but then said nothing more.

"Damn it, they ran so fast without taking me with them," Meng Qiuzhen complained.

He had no movement abilities in any of his four elements, nor did he possess any magical artifacts; he kept a pair of Breeze Boots for survival.

Of course, while cursing Mo Fan, Meng Qiuzhen calmly and slowly went downstairs.

I'm looking for a place to slack off.

We already know the general ending, so let Mo Fan do whatever he wants. He just needs to show his face at the crucial moment.

……

……

It didn't take long.

"Rumble rumble rumble~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The fierce fist exploded into a ball of intense flames above the rooftop, illuminating the entire neighborhood as if it were daytime.

"What a cunning thing!!"

Mo Fan, holding the rescued child in his arms, glanced at the molting female demon clinging to the windowsill of another building and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Meng Qiuzhen, standing by a window in the distance, was also watching the banshee.

Instead of making a move, they first used Lady Luck.

"I don't care about raging fires and floods. I only know how to save others from fire and flood and gain fame and fortune in the end. I don't care where the fire and flood came from."

"You agree, right, Lady Luck? If you don't agree with what I'm doing, just shake your head, and I'll electrocute that banshee right now."

Lady Luck: "."

"Hmm, it seems you agree, which makes me very happy."

……

"Mo Fan, are you alright?"

Lingling's voice came through the Bluetooth headset. "It's okay, the child just fainted. Where's Lao Meng? Where did he go and not come to help me?"

He had just been facing two demons, one male and one female, at the same time, and the pressure forced him to run away.

Just as Mo Fan was feeling dissatisfied, Meng Qiuzhen's voice came through the earphone.

"I'm coming!"

He appeared on the rooftop where Lingling was at some point, glancing at the male demon who had been blasted there by Mo Fan's fierce punch.

"Zzzzz~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Grayish-white lightning spread from the location of the dream seeking truth.

The area was illuminated brightly, and the lightning star map beneath their feet flashed by.

"Thunderbolt·Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, he completed a mid-level spell, and Meng Qiuzhen pointed his hand toward the sky!
A grayish-white bolt of lightning suddenly cleaved the sky in two, and the thick, grayish-white body let out a sharp cry!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

The thick bolt of lightning chased after the banshee in the direction she fled, grazing past her without hitting her.
The lightning struck a green belt.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

With a loud bang, the green belt within a ten-meter radius was turned into a charred black!
The commotion was so loud that the buildings in the entire community trembled slightly!
The banshee ran desperately into the darkness as if she had seen a ghost!

After a moment of silence, Mo Fan's voice came through the earphones.

“Fuck!!!!!”

Not long after, Mo Fan returned to the rooftop and pressed Meng Qiuzhen for answers.

"Old Meng, that wasn't Van Lei you just saw, was it?!"

Mo Fan had no recollection of thunderbolts possessing such power!

Moreover, lightning-type spirit seeds are extremely precious. Even Mu Nujiao, the pride of a great family, has not yet obtained a spirit seed despite being at the mid-level of two elemental types.

This is not something a freshman should have, is it?
He thought he was special and possessed a fire-type spirit seed.

"Yes, it's spiritual lightning."

Meng Qiuzhen gave a brief response.

He only took action to show off his skills and make his presence known, so as to avoid being criticized for slacking off.

Lightning has a maximum power boost of 3 times, making it stronger than most lightning-type spirits.

But its greatest strength is its extreme conduction speed.

This time, Meng Qiuzhen concealed his true intentions and disguised his true feelings.

Otherwise, if combined with a single thought to cast a spell, one could be electrocuted just by looking at the other person.

"I didn't expect you two clowns to be so capable."

Lingling gave a compliment.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the male demon shed his skin, revealing a naked man.

It was the male owner who commissioned the hunting party.

After the man was taken to the hospital, the doctors found nothing unusual about him, only that he was quite weak and showed signs of severe blood loss.

The three stayed at the hospital until dawn, and only left after finding that the man had no other abnormalities.

Are you sure he won't shed his skin again?

"Don't worry, although I still can't figure out what kind of monster it is, I can be sure that it won't come out during the day."

"You guys go back to school first. When this man transfers the commission fee, he will transfer the commission to you."

Lingling didn't say much. Despite her adorable appearance that looked like she could be pinched to the point of being cute, she pushed up her thick black-rimmed glasses and looked old-fashioned.

……

……

[Ding! Mo Fan received a commission of 100,000, plus a refund of 200,000 magic stones!]

Meng Qiuzhen lay on his dormitory bed and casually opened the system messages to check.

Although the banshee escaped this time, it was still considered a successful mission, and the 300,000 commission fee was split equally among the three of them.

Meng Qiuzhen slacked off and didn't put in any effort, but in the end he still got a share.

It's estimated that the thunderbolt he displayed earlier made Lingling and Mofan acknowledge his strength.

Mo Fan earned 100,000, and Meng Qiuzhen earned a total of 300,000.

It has to be said, the system is really twisted and unreasonable, but the feeling of getting something for nothing is indeed very satisfying.
After staying up all night to slack off, Meng Qiuzhen drifted off to sleep in a daze.

When I opened my eyes again, I found that I was no longer in the dormitory.

A woman in a white suit came into his view.
