Versatile Mage: I have 999 talents!

Chapter 8: Qingtian Hunting Agency's Employment Commission, Xinxia's Birthday Gift
"Little girl, does your hunting ground only look at age and not strength?" Wang Feng asked back.

"At your age, what kind of strength can you have? Stop making trouble." The little Loli waved her hand, her tone full of disgust.

When Wang Feng heard what the little loli said, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He had imagined countless possibilities, but he never expected that he would be disliked as "too young" by a little girl who looked only nine years old.

At this moment, an old but powerful voice came from the stairs: "Lingling, you have a commission?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with a slightly hunched figure slowly walked down the stairs.

He was holding an old pipe in his hand, with a kind smile on his face, but his eyes revealed an unfathomable sharpness.

"Grandpa, this isn't a commission, this is a job application. But considering his age, he's probably just a high school kid. How could he have any real ability?" Lingling curled her lips, her tone full of disdain.

Song Qiming walked slowly to Wang Feng, took a puff from his pipe, exhaled a circle of smoke, and then said with a smile:

"It's good to be young. As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. It's not afraid of anything. It's just a pity if you die. You haven't even had the chance to enjoy life yet."

Song Qiming looked at him with a smile and asked slowly, "Young man, what's your name? Where are you from? What is the magic department?"

Wang Feng took a deep breath, suppressed the helplessness in his heart, and answered concisely: "My name is Wang Feng, I'm from Bo City, and I'm a healing mage."

"Bo City?"

"Healing?"

The grandfather and grandson showed surprised expressions at the same time and said in unison.

Song Qiming shook his head, with a hint of regret in his tone:

"Wang Feng, although healing mages are rare, in our Qingtian Hunting Grounds, hunters usually work in pairs, so healing mages aren't very useful. How about you go to other hunting grounds?"

Wang Feng smiled slightly and then said:

"I am not only a healing mage, but also a summoner with a warrior-level summoned beast."

"Commander level?!" Lingling widened her eyes and looked at Wang Feng in disbelief.

Song Qiming also showed an interested look and touched his chin: "Intermediate level mage? That's not impossible."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and took out a commission from the counter and placed it on the counter:

"Since you have a general-level summoned beast, this commission is perfect for you. It will serve as your entry-level assessment."

Wang Feng picked up the commission curiously and read it carefully.

[Commission Content: Clear out a nest of cave demon slaves located at the border of Anjie, outside the Demon City.]

【Commission: 5 million】

[Client: Modu Mujia]

Seeing the content of the commission, Wang Feng's eyes flashed with surprise: "Is this... a commission from an aristocratic family?"

Lingling crossed her arms, looking as if she'd seen through everything. "I know what you're thinking. A noble family like you, you don't even have the manpower to eliminate a mere nest of demons, right?"

"Isn't it?" Wang Feng asked back.

"Of course not." Lingling snatched the commission away, her tone tinged with sarcasm.

"Common people will never understand what these foolish aristocratic families are thinking. They always try to test their juniors, assigning them random, unprofitable projects to tackle, euphemistically calling it 'training their abilities.'"

Lingling paused and continued, "Of course, these young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families are not short of money. They basically spend money to hire a team of elite hunters to protect them."

She curled her lips, her tone tinged with sarcasm. "To put it bluntly, it's just a formality, a chance to 'see' something. And this commission is just one of them!"

After listening to this, Wang Feng suddenly realized what was going on. He couldn't help but shake his head and laughed, "As expected, a commoner like me who started from scratch would never understand the thoughts of a wealthy man."

However, understanding is understanding, but it does not prevent him from making this money.

A gleam of light flashed in Wang Feng's eyes, and he said decisively: "Okay, I'll take this commission!" Song Qiming nodded and smiled with satisfaction:

"Okay, I'll help you contact the client right away. Come back here tomorrow morning, and I'll tell you the specific mission details and the meeting place."

Wang Feng responded, then turned and left the Qingtian Hunting Ground.

……

Wang Feng returned to the apartment, opened the door and saw Ye Xinxia sitting on the sofa in the living room with her phone in her hand.

Her little face was flushed, and her eyes were a little shy and hesitant, as if she was struggling with something.

"Xinxia, ​​what are you looking at?" Wang Feng asked with a smile.

Ye Xinxia was startled by the sudden sound and hurriedly hid her phone behind her.

She stammered, "Nothing, nothing! Brother Wang Feng, isn't your birthday in just over a month? I'm picking out a gift! Yes, picking out a gift!"

Wang Feng raised his eyebrows and deliberately gave a wicked smile: "I'm just picking a gift, why is your face so red? Are you looking at something weird?"

"No, no! I'm really picking out a gift!" Ye Xinxia's face became even redder, like a ripe apple.

Wang Feng couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He walked over to Ye Xinxia and gently ruffled her hair.

She said gently, "Okay, go ahead and pick. I'm really looking forward to the birthday present you prepare for me, Xinxia~"

After saying that, he kissed Ye Xinxia lightly on the forehead, then turned back to the room and began to practice.

Only after Wang Feng's door closed did Ye Xinxia breathe a sigh of relief and quietly took out her cell phone.

What was displayed on the screen was a search record: [How to make yourself into a 'cake'].

Her face turned redder in an instant, and her fingers twisted together unconsciously, feeling both shy and expectant.

"Is this... really okay?" Ye Xinxia whispered to herself, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

Ye Xinxia then clicked on the link and began to study.

……

The next day, Wang Feng set out early on the road to the million-dollar commission.

However, there was a little girl with twin ponytails beside him - Lingling.

Lingling held a cup of freshly squeezed juice from "Shanghai Young Lady" in her hand, sucking on it happily, and occasionally making a satisfied "gulp" sound.

Wang Feng originally thought that he could securely pocket the five million commission money, but he didn't expect Lingling to show up halfway and ask for half of the commission money as soon as they met.

What depressed him the most was that he couldn't refuse, because the rules of Qingtian Hunting House required that people act in groups of two.

"One day, I will get back everything that belongs to me (the commission money)!" Wang Feng raised his head, his eyes a little moist.

...

After going around in circles, the two finally arrived at the border of Demon City Anjie.

This is an uncultivated wilderness with lush forests coming into view.

At the entrance of the forest stood two women. They looked about the same, but their temperaments were completely different.

One of the women was wearing Han and Tang Dynasty style clothing, with long hair draped behind her. Her temperament was as gentle as water, as if she was a beauty walking out of an ancient painting.

However, there was a hint of shrewdness in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was not as simple as she seemed.

The other woman was wearing a smart outfit with her burgundy hair tied up high, looking very heroic.

But there was a hint of softness between her eyebrows, which formed a sharp contrast with her neat outfit.
