Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 44 The Abnormal Fang Yu
"This belongs to Fang Yu, right? Without his spatial magic, this earth rat would definitely have run away."

As the vines released the earth rat that had been entangled and strangled to the point of immobility, Mu Nujiao spoke.

She underestimated the Earth Rat's reaction speed... She failed to catch the Earth Rat immediately, which shows that her training is still incomplete.

"Ah."

Zhou You and An Ying had no objections.

If clearing out a single earth rat doesn't yield any unusual bone or spirit, the reward is only five hundred per rat, which even Fang Yu wouldn't consider, let alone the family members like them.

In Fang Yu's view, the trip would be worthwhile if he could eliminate a hundred ground rats in a day.

However, on the other hand, compared to making money, honing magic skills is also an important matter!
"Let's split up and proceed as we discussed on the plane," Fang Yu said.

"Okay." Zhou You nodded: "Then we'll meet here at noon."

This will speed up the clearing process, since the farmland and the entire forest are quite large.

First, split up and deal with lone earth rats on your own. If you encounter a group of earth rats, call everyone together to brainstorm and work together as a team for greater efficiency.

“Let’s see who can clear out more earth rats,” An Ying said.

"what……"

Zhou You fell into deep thought. If it came down to a comparison, he seriously doubted whether he would be at the bottom.

With the Earth Rat's movement speed.

My fire magic is really at a disadvantage.

You can't cast Fireburst every time to deal area damage, otherwise your mana won't be able to keep up.

Thinking about this, Zhou You felt depressed.

As for refusing to compete, my pride wouldn't allow it.

After making the agreement, the four of them parted ways.

Fang Yu left, passing by the large pit he had just seen.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the surrounding crops and fruit trees were not damaged; otherwise, not only would they have not made any money, but they would have lost money as well.

Something to be careful about!
……

Next, Fang Yu galloped freely across the fields.

The farmer uncle responsible for guarding and patrolling the farmland arrived late, followed by a count of the number of ground rats they had eliminated.

These giant rats are indeed troublesome. It's okay if they're far from the entrance of the hole. With Fang Yu's explosive power of Mind Control: Void Claw, he can easily track their movements and then quickly control and stun them.

However, when encountering those close to the cave entrance, even with Fang Yu's best efforts, several rats escaped, making him so angry that he wished he could learn earth magic on the spot, so that the earth rats would be useless when they went underground.

By evening, Fang Yu's record was twenty-two rats, averaging one earth rat every two minutes.

Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any in large groups, otherwise there would have been many more.

At this moment, Fang Yu, full of energy, was still searching for earth rats all over the fields.

I'm a typical rat who doesn't rest, so I don't rest either.

The other three returned exhausted of their magical energy and dizzy from hunger, leaving only Fang Yu's group still working hard.

"Holy crap, they're still catching them?" Zhou You exclaimed incredulously.

Watching Fang Yu galloping across the fields with boundless energy, the three of them were somewhat affected by his demeanor.

It's been over two hours. Does Fang Yu still have so much energy and vitality?

for a long time.

Seeing that Fang Yu had finally stopped to rest, the three of them gathered around him.

"Going this far?" Zhou You asked with a strange expression.

"The interplay of spatial and ice magic allows for a rich supply of magical energy," Fang Yu said after a moment of silence.

"Compared to the money that can be earned, being a little tired is nothing."

Three people:? ? ?
That's incredibly dedicated!

"I think I know where I lost to him."

Zhou You subconsciously imagined Fang Yu frantically earning money, exchanging it for resources, and staying up all night to cultivate.

I'm not afraid of others being more talented than me; I'm afraid of others working harder than me!

Damn it! We've completely lost.

Thinking of Fang Yu, whose style was completely different, An Ying asked him:
"How many have you cleared out?" "And you?" Fang Yu retorted.

“I have five,” Mu Nujiao said.

“Seven,” An Ying said.

Zhou You: "The fire element is too limiting, there are only four of them."

At this moment, the patrolling farmer uncle who was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield for Fang Yu...

"This young man is the most efficient magician I've ever seen. He caught twenty-four earth rats in just two hours. He's really amazing."

He had only ever seen such efficiency in powerful magic teams; he couldn't imagine it happening to a single person.

Twenty-four?

The other three were a little confused.

Twenty-four? Are you sure it's not fourteen, but twenty-four?

An Ying was also dumbfounded. Was this a joke?

"Let's eat our boxed lunches and rest first," Fang Yu said.

He has telepathic abilities and mastery over space and ice, controlling the void claws remotely and freezing the ground with frost. The difference is too obvious; there's no point in comparing.

Eating is important!

The village committee staff brought them boxed lunches, and after eating a little, Fang Yu wanted to continue working.

This is also his requirement for himself, after all, he came here to earn money and gain experience.

Afterwards, the four of them each took a simple boxed lunch and ate some cold mineral water.

After wolfing down his food, Fang Yu, not wanting to waste too much time, went to a corner to meditate.

Fang Yu used his mind to probe into the ice hockey in the spiritual world.

moment.

There is an energy overflow in the ice hockey puck.

It felt as if Fang Yu had fallen into a hot spring. The silky warmth gradually dispelled the mental fatigue caused by his long spellcasting, and slowly made his mental world clear and comfortable.

No irritability, no anxiety, my mind has never felt so calm, peaceful and comfortable!
Fang Yu had been casting spells for a full two hours. A normal mid-level mage would have gone to sleep long ago.

however…

He possesses an ice ball with effects surpassing those of the Stardust Magic Artifact, allowing him to recover quickly.

The mental fatigue subsided under the nourishment, and I vaguely felt that I could continue casting spells for a while longer.

soon.

Fang Yu stood up.

It felt that its efficiency was still too slow. The earth rats could sink into the pits, which was quite troublesome, and many of them escaped.

Losing one means losing part of our funding!

Despite his grief and the fact that he had regained some energy and magic power, Fang Han decided to continue his journey to capture the Earth Rats.

This behavior completely baffled Zhou You and his two companions.

Again?

An Ying, Zhou You, and Mu Nujiao felt a bit of chest tightness.

Although there was bottled water, the boxed meal was still hard to swallow.

Mu Nujiao stopped Fang Yu and asked the question that had been bothering her:

"Don't you need to rest?"

This isn't magic!
A magician shouldn't be like this.

How can Fang Yu be so energetic!
Even a mid-level mage wouldn't act like this!
"I have a magical artifact that can restore my mental fatigue. I'll rest after I've exhausted my spatial and ice magic power." Fang Yu said calmly.

The three were speechless; it made perfect sense.

However, carrying a magical artifact with nourishing effects on your spirit and not resting at night to start another round of sweeping is abnormal!

and also…

Isn't Fang Yu a grassroots magician?

Where did such a top-tier magical artifact come from?
