Full-Time Magister: One System, One Forbidden Spell, the Strongest Divine Gift

Chapter 32 Chen Yuan and His External Brain

As usual, when he had nothing to do, Chen Yuan would habitually head towards the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds.

Chen Yuan put his hands in his pockets and slowly pushed open the familiar glass door.

The moment the wind chimes rang crisply, a petite figure stomped onto a stool and pounced in front of the counter, her bright eyes shining like a night cat that had spotted its prey.

"Perfect timing!" She slapped down a stack of documents, her two ponytails swaying merrily with the movement. "Haven't you been talking about pulling off a big heist all the time? The Mu family's commission, is it big enough?"

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow. The Mu family? That's one of the four major families in Shanghai.

The cost of cultivating Chixiao was far too high, and those small orders simply couldn't fill the gap. It can be said that during this period, Chen Yuan basically took on every order he could get.

He was nicknamed "Chen the Model Worker" by the locals.

"A big order? How big?" Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan glanced at Lingling again.

"Anyway, just accept this commission. I won't harm you." Lingling pretended to be a little adult and started pointing fingers at Chen Yuan.

After all, she has no fighting ability, so she still has to rely on Chen Yuan for fighting.

If Chen Yuan doesn't agree, she can't take on this big order on her own.

"Let me take a look." Chen Yuan took the documents.

Soon, lines of data appeared on the computer screen:

Client: Mu Family

Location: An abandoned mine shaft more than 100 kilometers away

"."

"Twenty million just to scout a path?" Chen Yuan's fingertips tapped crisply on the keyboard. "Are the Mu family just throwing money away?"

Lingling suddenly tiptoed closer, her voice low and carrying the sweet scent of strawberry lollipops:

"Seven high-ranking mages died here three years ago."

She pulled up the file photos; in the blurry surveillance footage, a warning sign at the mine entrance was eerily dripping some kind of slime. The one who survived was now in a mental hospital, learning to bark like a dog.

The screen suddenly switched to a creature encyclopedia, showing a hunched humanoid creature appearing bluish-gray under the infrared lens.

It has human-like knuckles, but black bone claws extending from the ends drip thick liquid, corroding the ground and creating hissing holes.

【Demon Ape (Night-Walking Species)】

[Cultivation Level: Commander Level]

【Characteristics: Mimicry/Neurotoxin/Social】

"Interesting." Chen Yuan suddenly laughed, reaching out to ruffle Lingling's bangs. "I'll take this order."

For a creature of such high rank to willingly inhabit such a cramped mine, it must mean there is some unspeakable secret inside, or perhaps, some treasure!

Chen Yuan didn't care about 20 million or anything like that.

He was more interested in the treasures inside.

“Then let’s set off tomorrow. I’ll go and organize the information about the Demon Ape now.” Lingling was overjoyed upon hearing this.

The next day.

Three hundred miles away, deep in the desolate mountains, the forgotten mine shaft pierced the mountain crookedly like the rotten teeth of a giant beast.

Even half a mile from the cave entrance, the stench was already thick enough to stick to one's throat; it was the stench of death, a mixture of moldy flesh and some kind of acidic secretion.

The rock face was covered with dried, bloody handprints, and every few steps one could crush the bones of some unknown creature. Even an ordinary person could feel the darkness writhing within.

"This doesn't seem simple."

Chen Yuan stood at the entrance of the mine, squinting as he surveyed the deep, dark cave.

With the shared vision of [Golden Life], the situation inside the mine was clearly presented in his mind. On both sides of the narrow passage, several demons were lurking in the shadows, their sharp claws gleaming coldly in the darkness.

What's more troublesome is that these guys seem to have sensed the intruders' presence long ago.

Chen Yuan could "see" them restlessly, their sharp nostrils twitching as they greedily captured the scent of humans in the air.

"Is it troublesome?"

Lingling also came over. She raised her little head and glanced symbolically at the situation inside the mine. She was not a mage and did not have elemental vision, so she did not know what was going on inside.

"Hmm, this is a bit troublesome." Chen Yuan nodded.

Ordinary demons would have been unable to restrain themselves and rushed out long ago, but these guys in the cave were surprisingly calm.

Like a group of experienced hunters waiting for the perfect moment. This reminded him of a saying hunters often used: powerful demons are not scary; what's scary are those demons that can think.

Meanwhile, outside the mine.

The shepherd's temporary camp has been set up.

Ten dark green tents were arranged in a fan shape, and the flickering firelight in the center illuminated the guarded figures of nine high-ranking mages.

The only mid-level mage in the team was a dashing young woman.

She wore a set of well-fitting silver-gray light armor, with pale blue wind-elemental patterns flowing across it. Her fiery red hair was neatly tied into a high ponytail, swaying gently behind her head with her movements, like a dancing flame.

When the girl turned around, she revealed a face as delicate as porcelain.

The light armor perfectly outlined her agile figure, her long and powerful legs treading on tactical boots, and her slender waist covered by the armor, showing it off to the fullest.

The curves of her pert buttocks were faintly visible beneath her armor.

At first glance, you can tell that this is not a pampered young lady, but a darling of heaven with real combat experience.

"Miss, the people from the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds have arrived."

Mu Ye's deep voice came from behind her. Mu Nujiao paused slightly upon hearing this. She turned around, her fiery red ponytail drawing a clean arc in the air.

In the distance, two figures, one tall and one short, were walking towards the camp.

When she saw who it was, her pupils suddenly contracted.

That guy, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?

Putting everything else aside, these two, one big and one small, look almost exactly the same age as me. The Azure Sky Hunters sent them here, surely not just for fun?
Mu Nujiao crossed her arms, her fiery red high ponytail swaying slightly in the night breeze.

Her sharp gaze swept over Chen Yuan and Lingling, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "Just the two of you? No other support?"

“It’s just the two of us; any higher and it won’t be this price,” Chen Yuan said.

"The senior brothers and sisters in the hunting camp are all busy carrying out missions, so it's just the two of us. But don't worry, since we dared to accept your commission, we naturally have the ability to complete it."

Lingling added a sentence, and then took out the Hunter Master's license.

Upon seeing this, everyone was taken aback! This was the first time they had ever seen such a young hunter master; truly, the world is full of wonders!
"In that case, come with me. I'll take you inside the mine to get a feel for the situation." Mu Nujiao said, knowing that at this point, she could only trust the two of them.

This mine is extremely important to the Mu family; they cannot afford any mishaps!
