Chapter 24: Chance Encounter
This is a mission that requires a space mage. Rather than a mission, it is more like a job advertisement.
We need a space mage for casting. Six hours every afternoon for one month, 500,000 per day.
Why is it that no one wants this high-paying job with a monthly salary of 15 million? Is it because they don’t like it?
Oh, there are too few space mages.
Bai Mo was very confused and took on the task with a sigh.
"Hey, some space mage took that mission!"
Someone nearby who saw this said in surprise:
"Space magic is a high-level and rare magic. I don't know which high-level magician has so much free time to be interested in such a small amount of money."
Bai Mo's eyebrows suddenly rose up. Why did he feel like he was being humiliated?
So I looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man with a greasy face.
He pretended to be casual and said, "Uncle, you can't say that. What if he is a beginner or intermediate level mage with extraordinary talent and handsome appearance?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man turned around and looked at him, smiling brightly, thinking that Bai Mo was a rookie hunter with little knowledge of magic theory.
So, he walked over and patted him on the shoulder in a very familiar manner.
He looks like he is ready to teach and answer questions.
"Haha, little brother, you don't understand this! The space system is a rare dimensional system with unpredictable power. To say that it is one in a million is an underestimation.
“You know, even the Ai family, a family of military mages in the imperial capital, who use the space system as their inherited magic system, rarely awakens it, so how could they be mid-level or low-level mages?”
As he spoke, he was still addicted and continued to express his speculations.
"In my opinion, it must be some shameless high-level wizard who is too short of money and wants to take advantage of us little wizards."
Bai Mo's forehead was filled with black lines. After thinking for a while, he decided to put some pressure on this uncle, so he said:
"Uncle, please keep your voice down. The senior master has just accepted the mission and might be listening nearby."
After saying that, looking at the old man with a cold sweat on his face and a nervous look looking around, Bai Mo nodded with satisfaction, a faint smile of joy on his face again, and left quietly.
According to the address written on the task, Bai Mo came to the Mingzhu Mage Tower.
The Pearl Mage Tower is the territory of the Pearl Magic Association. Like the Imperial Capital Magic Association, it is the most authoritative and influential mage association in Kyushu.
There is a casting studio in this place. It seems that the person who issued the task is not an ordinary person.
Thinking this in his mind, he felt the elevator door open and walked in without hesitation.
“Hey!”
As soon as he took a step, Bai Mo felt that he had bumped into a soft body.
When I came to my senses and looked up, I saw a delicate and natural face, like a painting, with clear features and elegant and smooth lines. A pair of eyes as clear and calm as lake water, with a bit of mystery, as if they could shine through people's hearts.
That gaze was like the rippling light of a lake, but within that light there was a sense of coquettishness flowing.
Because of the collision, he could still smell a faint fragrance.
Bai Mo was stunned for a moment before he reacted and recognized who was in front of him. He took a step back and smiled embarrassedly.
"Ding Yumian?! Why are you here? Sorry, I was distracted just now."
Ding Yumian shook her head gently, walked around Bai Mo and walked out of the elevator cabin.
"It's okay, come here to awaken."
"Oh~, you've reached the intermediate level, congratulations." Bai Mo saw Ding Yumian looking at him with a smile, scratched his head curiously, and said with a smile: "I came here to do some odd jobs."
"Yeah." Ding Yumian nodded, raised the corner of her mouth, reached out and pressed the elevator button, and opened the elevator door that was about to close again, "Aren't you going up?"
"Um, let's go up." Bai Mo scratched his head, walked into the elevator in a daze, pressed the corresponding floor, and waved goodbye to Ding Yumian outside.
Following the instructions, Bai Mo came to a studio without a sign and gently pressed the doorbell.
Not long after, the door opened.
A handsome young man was standing inside the door. He looked at Bai Mo and saw that he was dressed unusually. He restrained his arrogance a little and asked:
"Hello, what can I do for you? Weapon casting requires an appointment."
Bai Mo had a polite smile on his face.
"Hello, my name is Bai Mo, and I'm not here to forge weapons."
Without waiting for the other party to respond, Bai Mo took out his freshly-made hunter certificate and the information for accepting the mission and said:
"I'm here to do a mission. Are you recruiting space mages here?"
"Are you a space mage?"
Xiao Shuai was surprised. He didn't expect to find a temporary worker. It was true that most space mages were big shots and difficult to hire.
It seems that the boy in front of him has good talent. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said:
"That's right. Come in. My name is Li Junnan, and I'm Mr. Huo Tuo's apprentice. I'll take you to see the teacher."
Huo Tuo? Bai Mo remembered this person. In the original novel, he was a master of forging tools and helped Mo Fan create many magic tools.
I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
Thinking of this, he took a step forward and followed Li Junnan in.
I have to say, Li Junnan’s parents are really good at naming.
"Teacher has received a large order for casting space magic tools. We need a space mage to help with the testing and provide space magic energy during casting."
Li Junnan led the way and explained the mission to Bai Mo.
"Because the number of magic tools the customer wants is too large, it cannot be completed in a few days. It requires a space mage to be around for a long time, so this task was given to us."
"So that's how it is."
Bai Mo nodded. As he walked further inside, the temperature in the space gradually increased.
Soon, he saw a disheveled man sitting at a workbench, writing and drawing.
"Teacher, the space mage you are looking for is here!" Li Junnan next to him took two steps forward and said respectfully without waiting for Huo Tuo to ask.
Huo Tuo raised his head when he heard that, and his pair of bright eyes immediately fell on Bai Mo.
Bai Mo was looked at by him, so he took a step forward and said slowly: "Master Huo, hello, my name is Bai Mo."
"You are a space-type! What's your cultivation level?"
Huo Tuo's voice was full of energy, like the sound of a forging hammer, sonorous and powerful.
“Intermediate.”
Bai Mo answered slowly and released a little bit of his own space magic aura.
Feeling this breath, Huo Tuo nodded with satisfaction.
"Intermediate level is enough, come to work at 2 pm!"
After saying that, he patted his forehead, took out a piece of paper and motioned Bai Mo to take it.
Bai Mo's mind moved, silver stars flashed in his eyes, and he reached out to take the paper in Huo Tuo's hand.
The white paper that seemed to have something written on it smoothly slipped away from Huo Tuo's brass-like hand and fell into his hand.
Li Junnan looked at it blankly, and for a moment, he felt that being an apprentice of Wanli Yuyi's foundry master was not very attractive to him.
"Tsk tsk." Huo Tuo smacked his lips meaningfully and pointed at the white paper in Bai Mo's hand.
"You don't have to come yet. Go to the wild and collect some materials for me first. Once you have collected enough, come back and I will pay you. Is there any problem?"
Bai Mo raised his eyebrows. After all this time, he still wanted to go out into the wild. So he nodded and said:
"no problem."
Then, he took a quick glance at the paper and found that they were all body parts of slave-level monsters and some flowers and plants.
They all need to be picked and used immediately and have a short shelf life, so it’s no wonder that you have to go to the wild instead of buying them in the market.
For the sake of the 800,000 yuan transfer reminder from Huotuo Studio on his mobile phone, he didn't bother to do two things at one.
But I have already taken the leave, what should I do now?
After leaving the Pearl Mage Tower, Bai Mo thought about it and thought of Ding Yumian whom he bumped into on the way here. Should he go find her?
But why would you go looking for someone for no reason?
Thinking about these things, Bai Mo unknowingly walked to a place he had never been to before and looked around.
This seems like a Qingtian hunting ground?
Now that he had come this far, Bai Mo decided to go in and see if he could get another job.
"Ding-ling~~~~"
The doorbell rang, attracting the attention of a young woman sitting in the booth to Bai Mo.
Bai Mo also looked at this woman with a cold face and a temperament as stern as the autumn wind. She was dressed in black and looked to be in her twenties.
I looked around this small shop that looked like a cafe, but didn't see any small figure.
"Hello, do you want to issue a commission?"
At this time, the cold and beautiful woman's voice, as clear as a winter spring, rang out. Bai Mo looked at her, shook his head, and then said.
"Hello, are you hiring mages here?"
Leng Qing lifted up one of her long, beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings, which was faintly jade-colored and full of charm, and placed it on the other leg. He put down the coffee in his hand and said:
"Yes, but judging from your appearance, you probably haven't even started college yet."
"I can do some tasks occasionally. I'm about to graduate, so I'll have some free time soon."
"Why don't kids want to go to school nowadays?" Leng Qing raised his eyebrows. "Our minimum requirement is intermediate level, and we need to be able to cast intermediate level magic within three seconds."
Hearing this, Bai Mo smiled and raised his hand.
As he raised his arm, silver light flashed by his side, and soon seven star lines were drawn. The star lines intersected with each other, and a mysterious and brilliant star map appeared in his palm.
It took exactly one second!
"Bai Mo, Intermediate Space System, is this enough time to draw?"
Bai Mo looked at the cold and beautiful woman in front of him, slowly dispersed the drawn space star map, and smiled.
Leng Qing raised his eyebrows, his clear voice carrying a hint of surprise.
"You are the Bai Mo on the talent list. What's wrong with you at such a young age? Instead of practicing hard, you want to hunt monsters?"
Hearing this, Bai Mo's mouth twitched. This person was really unforgiving. He spread his hands helplessly.
"Since you know me, you know my summoning talent. I'm short of money now."
Leng Qing frowned slightly and wanted to refuse, but his ears moved and he changed his words:
"Any hunter proof?"
Bai Mo was stunned, "You agree?"
"Yes, do you have a hunter certificate?"
"Yes!" Bai Mo handed over the hunter's certificate. Leng Qing took it and took out a form to fill it out. At the same time, he said:
"Hey, fresh-faced rookie! How about this, you and I will be on the same team for a three-month internship. If you can't pass it, you can come back when you're stronger! Of course, if you want to come."
After that, Leng Qing handed him the form and asked him to sign it, then said:
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Leng Qing. I'm a high-level mage currently working in the Inquisition. So I don't go on missions very often. I'll be with you for the next three months. You'll be responsible for doing odd jobs."
"Oh, hello, Sister Leng Qing." Bai Mo was surprised, then nodded. Although he had some guesses, he didn't expect that she was Leng Qing.
