Chapter 15 My good brother, you are truly my lucky star!
…………
When the lightning dissipated, a huge, charred meteorite crater, over five meters in diameter and two meters deep, appeared fifty meters in front of Su Chen! The soil at the bottom of the crater had completely turned into dark red, glassy crystals, and the terrifyingly high temperature distorted the surrounding air.
From the moment the star chart was drawn to the moment the thunderbolt struck, the entire process took less than three seconds!
"Hahahaha! Invincible! I'm invincible!"
Su Chen burst into unrestrained laughter in the wilderness.
With a casting speed of less than three seconds, coupled with terrifying power comparable to a missile strike, Su Chen's confidence soared to unprecedented heights!
"Soloing a Warrior-level demon might be a bit risky, after all, Warrior-level demons have insane vitality and speed, my body can't withstand a single hit. But..."
Su Chen's eyes gleamed with the light of a hungry wolf.
"Servant-level demons? Heh, right now they're just walking ATMs to me!"
"One-eyed demon wolves? Before, I was afraid of being surrounded and worn down by a pack of wolves, but now? I can wipe out an entire area with a single thunderbolt! If a pack comes, I'll kill it all; if a den comes, I'll wipe it out!"
Su Chen's mind was filled with the wonderful image of countless one-eyed demon wolves lining up to give him strange bones and skins.
As long as you can hunt a large number of Cyclops wolves, the speed at which you can make money will increase exponentially!
What are twenty million spirit seeds?
I'll just buy one and throw one away!
Su Chen excitedly experimented in the wilderness for half a day until he had used up a third of his magical energy, and then he returned to his dilapidated house with satisfaction.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Su Chen lay comfortably on the bed, feeling like he had reached the pinnacle of life.
Just then, the phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.
Su Chen picked it up and saw the words "Fan Zi" flashing on the screen.
Before Su Chen could even speak after the call connected, Mo Fan's excited, almost hoarse voice came from the other end: "Old Su! Old Su!! I've broken through!!!"
"My lightning element has finally broken through to the second level of the initial stage!!! Hahaha, I feel incredibly strong now!"
Mo Fan was excitedly gesturing on the other end of the phone, his voice filled with boundless anticipation for the future.
"Old Su, do you still stand by what you said? I've reached level two in lightning magic, shouldn't you take me demon hunting to make some money?! I can't wait to practice on those demons and make a fortune to buy a bigger house for my dad and Xin Xia!"
Hearing Mo Fan's energetic voice on the phone, Su Chen's lips curled into an extremely bright and cunning smile.
"It counts, of course it counts."
My good brother, you're truly my lucky star!
"Fanzi, get ready. Tomorrow's the weekend, I'm taking you out into the wild to show you what a real hunter mage is like, what true dimensional reduction strikes are all about!"
…………
The next day, just as dusk was falling, two furtive figures appeared in the old streets and alleys of Bocheng.
"Old Su, did you have to make it like this? The smell is way too strong!"
Mo Fan coughed as he wiped his face with the back of his hand. His face was now covered with a layer of blackish-gray ointment, which not only completely obscured his somewhat handsome features, but also spread evenly on his neck.
With the worn-out gray-black jacket he deliberately wore, he looked like an unlicensed coal miner who had just come out of a coal mine.
Su Chen, with the air of a seasoned veteran, said, "You don't know anything. What kind of place is the Hunter's Alliance? It's a melting pot, full of all sorts of people. You, a delicate young man, went and registered as a hunter, with such a flashy lightning talent. Are you afraid people won't know your true identity? What if you get involved with some desperate criminals who find your home address? What will your dad and Xin Xia do then?"
"You're right, better safe than sorry." Mo Fan nodded vigorously, then grabbed a handful of plaster and smeared it on his forehead. "What about the name? We can't use our real names, can we?"
"My name is Chen Shu, and you can be called... Fan Mo. Mo Fan is reversed, it's a homonym, easy to remember and not easy to expose." Su Chen casually arranged Mo Fan's classic pseudonym from the original work.
"Fanmo... that sounds quite sophisticated. Okay, that'll be the name!"
After getting ready, the two took advantage of the cover of night and made their way to the main hall of the Bo City Hunters Alliance.
With the seasoned veteran Su Chen guiding him, Mo Fan's registration process went exceptionally smoothly. When Mo Fan placed his hand on the magic testing stone, displaying a level 2, beginner-level lightning-type purple light, it unsurprisingly drew gasps of surprise from the receptionist and the surrounding small demon-hunting teams.
However, having received Su Chen's previous instruction, Mo Fan kept a cold, dark face and didn't say a word. He took the bronze hunter badge and quickly followed Su Chen to the bounty screen.
"Old Su, which one should we pick up? Are we going to kill the One-Eyed Demon Wolf outside the city? I feel like I'm full of power right now!" Mo Fan looked at the screen full of bounties, rubbing his hands excitedly, as if he could already see countless banknotes beckoning to him.
Su Chen rolled his eyes and tapped a task on the screen.
[Bounty Mission: Clean up the abnormal creatures (Giant-eyed Bloody Rats) in the underground pipe network of the abandoned water plant in the South District.]
With a "ding", the quest was successfully accepted.
Mo Fan paused, glanced at the mission, then looked around, his face full of confusion. "Old Su, where's our team? Didn't you say yesterday you'd teamed up with the demon-hunting squad? Where's our defensive mage? Where's our wind-type scout mage? And our healing mage... well, I doubt we have a healing mage, but we should at least have a tank to absorb damage, right?"
Su Chen stuffed the mission slip into his pocket, grinned, put his arm around Mo Fan's shoulder, and pushed him toward the gate.
"Why look for a team? They're right here, yet so far away!" Su Chen pointed to himself, then to Mo Fan. "The two of us are enough!"
"What?!" Mo Fan was startled, almost jumping up and down. "Just the two of us?! Old Su, are you crazy?! Didn't the teacher teach us that mages are fragile and must fight as a team when encountering demons in the wild? We're both lightning-type, without even a shield. If a giant-eyed blood rat gets close and bites us, it could be fatal!"
Faced with Mo Fan's skepticism, Su Chen remained remarkably calm. He patted Mo Fan on the shoulder and began to earnestly persuade him, "Fanzi, believing everything in books is worse than having no books at all. What's taught in school is for ordinary mages. Who are we? We are noble lightning mages!"
"What's the essence of a lightning mage? It's attack! It's control! Those trashy monsters like the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat, who live in the sewers year-round, have ridiculously low defense. We're both beginner level two lightning mages; if we throw two lightning seals at them, the intertwined electric nets would electrocute not just a few rats, but even a cow would be foaming at the mouth!"
