Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

Upon hearing about beauty and skincare benefits, even Qianqian's eyes lit up. What woman could resist such a temptation?

“It’s too expensive there.” Wang Peng shook his head: “Five thousand per person per night, not worth it.”

Liu Xiao said, "Wang Peng, why are you being so honest? It's rare for our captain to treat us, so let's stick to one principle: order whatever's expensive and whatever's good. We can't treat ourselves like outsiders!"

Xu Fang, standing to the side, wholeheartedly agreed. He also adhered to this principle when dealing with Zhan Kong: "A fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal."

"You little rascal," Zhu Wang said, both amused and exasperated, "Fine, a hot spring it is then. It's just a few tens of thousands of yuan, I'll pay for it all today!"

Of the 3.2 million, he could get 320,000, and spending 30,000 to 40,000 to connect with his teammates was the best deal he could make.

Xu Fang asked curiously, "Yangcheng also has natural hot springs?"

Fangfang recalled, "It didn't exist before; it only appeared in the last month or two. Now, it has been acquired by several wealthy families in Yangcheng and is being used as their property."

"I see." Xu Fang nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

The rampant growth of plants and the sudden appearance of the hot spring... it all feels like there's some connection...

······

"Dear guests, our hotel's signature natural hot spring experience is in an authentic Japanese style, divided into a dressed area and a nude area."

A waitress dressed in a yukata smiled and introduced the place with her hands folded in front of her.

"We want a nudity zone! We want to be completely naked!" Liu Xiao shouted, raising his arms. Qianqian and Fangfang glared at him.

The waiter's smile remained unchanged as he continued, "The dressing area is for both men and women, while the nude area is divided into two separate pools."

Liu Xiao immediately fell silent.

Xu Fang was naturally unconcerned. So what if he was in the nude zone? His second brother was very capable. It was the others who should feel inferior.

It's just that I can't say those kinds of witty remarks now; I have to maintain my public image.

Chapter 24 A Sense of Distance When Hugging

Regarding hot springs, to paraphrase what I said in my previous life: because it is located between the Eurasian and Pacific tectonic plates, Japan has abundant geothermal resources.

However, in this world, it might be interpreted differently. For example, two rooftop emperors might be fighting for territory, and geothermal activity might just be the aftermath of their battle.

In short, regardless of which perspective is used, it is an undeniable fact that Japan's hot spring industry is extremely developed.

However, due to the swarms of sea monsters that have invaded and caused widespread destruction of Japan, the hot spring industry, along with the tourism industry, has suffered a severe decline...

After changing clothes in the locker room, each person was given a small wooden bucket containing an iced towel, iced milk, and a wooden pillow.

Normally, when everyone is dressed, the difference in body shape is not noticeable, but once they are exposed, the difference is clearly visible.

The mages overdraw their magical energy, not their fat, which is why their body types vary so much.

Zhu Wang's lower abdomen resembled that of someone carrying a large watermelon, exhibiting the typical obesity of a middle-aged man. Like Xu Fang's blond-haired friend, he was a classic example of a victim and lifelong enemy.

Liu Xiao has dark skin and a thin build. Upon closer inspection, he has deep-set eyes that resemble those of someone who has been overly rewarded, making him look like a human version of a blackened corpse.

Only Wang Peng's case is somewhat acceptable, as his lower abdomen is flat and unremarkable.

"Holy crap, Zhang San, your muscles are amazing! Have you worked out?" Liu Xiao was incredibly envious: "Those abs, they're like chocolate!"

"It's alright." Xu Fang took off his mask and put it in the cabinet.

Liu Xiao was even more envious. You couldn't tell this guy was so good-looking when he was wearing a mask.

Wearing loose shorts and carrying his small wooden tub, Zhu Wang walked into the hot spring area. He was very generous, having purchased a deluxe package; the group had a private room with two pools of different sizes.

Above the small pool is a huge wooden barrel, three or four meters high, tilted and pouring out natural hot spring water from outside. The rising steam hits you, making your cheeks flush even before you soak in it.

The large pool wasn't a hot spring, but a swimming pool, slightly cooler, with rubber boats and watermelon volleyballs floating on the surface.

"It's so good to be rich!"

"No wonder it costs 5,000 a night."

"Let me soak for a while, I'm exhausted from doing tasks all day."

The Flying Tigers were visiting such a high-class place for the first time, and without thinking, they went straight into the pool, only to be scalded and cry out in pain.

Xu Fang sat by the pool, first using his feet to adjust to the temperature, and then slowly immersing his body in the water.

"This feeling..."

Xu Fang continued to dive deeper, leaving only his head above water, and closed his eyes to begin meditating.

In the realm of the mind, the golden star was incredibly excited, rampaging through the stardust, its light flashing urgently, conveying its emotions to Xu Fang—it wanted it! It wanted it so badly!

"It's true."

The key to accelerating the growth of suburban plants has been found: transforming ordinary spring water into natural hot springs.

Xu Fang opened his eyes, and a word appeared in his mind: Spirit Seed.

Heaven and earth nurture elements, and elements are classified into different grades according to the environment in which they grow.

In some special places, where this element is quite active, spiritual "seeds" will be produced. If these seeds are refined and absorbed by a mage, the power of that mage's magical skills will be multiplied!

"I never expected to find such a wonderful thing as a spirit seed in this small place."

This spirit seed, Xu wants it!

Generally speaking, only mid-level mages can absorb spirit seeds, and Stardust's small temple cannot accommodate such a great being as a spirit seed.

But judging from how excited Golden Stardust was, almost drooling... why not give it a try? At worst, it'll just be a waste!

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

The touch on his shoulder woke Xu Fang from his meditative state. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of heavy breasts.

Xu Fang: "Oh ho!?"

Qianqian suddenly covered her chest, her ears turning bright red, and sat down next to him without saying a word.

Fangfang, always eager for drama, fanned the flames: "Qianqian, Zhang San is so handsome and has such a great physique, he's your type!"

"Shut up!" Qianqian tried to say in a cold tone, but to others it sounded like a proud girl's powerless struggle.

Xu Fang leaned comfortably against the wooden pillow and said lazily, "You also work as a matchmaker?"

Fangfang chuckled and said, "Isn't this for my best friend's lifelong happiness? Qianqian is single, and there are so many people pursuing her. If we don't hurry, it will be too late."

“Mind your own business,” Qianqian protested.

"Me? Oh, so you're so generous, sister, willing to let me have a good man? Then I won't be polite." Fangfang stood in the pool and spun around on the spot: "Handsome, I'm twenty-three years old, never been in a relationship, and I like singing and dancing. How about we give it a try?"

Qianqian stared at her in disbelief, shocked by her best friend's shamelessness.

Zhu Wang and the others had already run to the swimming pool, paddling their kayaks absentmindedly while eavesdropping on the conversation.

"Damn it, so what if you're handsome? Does that make you superior?" Liu Xiao said indignantly.

Zhu Wang comforted her, "Fangfang was just joking; she's just a very easygoing person."

"Then why does she never joke like that with us?"

"..."

They looked at each other speechlessly, only tears streaming down their faces.

the other side.

Xu Fang scrutinized Fangfang from head to toe, making her feel uncomfortable, as if bugs were crawling on her.

"How, how is it?"

Xu Fang said, "I like girls who keep a distance when I hug them."

Fangfang: "???"

I subconsciously looked down and saw that the lotus buds were just beginning to emerge, and I could easily see my toes.

"Pfft!" Qianqian, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer and kept her head down, with bubbles rising to the surface of the water.

Fangfang's face turned from white to red, then from red to black, her teeth grinding together as she said, word by word, "Zhang! San!"

Xu Fang: "It's me, your grandpa."

"I'll kill you!" Fangfang screamed and rushed forward, intending to take Xu Fang down with her. Xu Fang, of course, was not one to sit idly by and wait for death, and fought back fiercely.

Qianqian, who was standing nearby, didn't have time to run away and was forced into this undeserved disaster. In an instant, the situation at the hot spring became a complete mess.

The swimming pool next door.

Wang Peng: "Let's go."

Liu Xiaomu, her face blank and utterly dejected, said, "Leave? Of course we have to leave. Do we even deserve to stay here?"

Zhu Wang wanted to comfort him, but after a moment's hesitation, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, you'll get used to it."

The three wisely got up and left, leaving Xu Fang, the newest member of the team, to endure inhumane bullying.

Twenty minutes later.

Xu Fang carried two women out, one in each hand. The two women's cheeks were frighteningly red, and they were so weak that they could barely walk. The way they were being carried looked just like boiled shrimp.

Liu Xiao glanced at the time and said sourly, "It's just so-so."

"They're both dizzy from soaking in the water, just let them cool off with a fan." Xu Fang put them down.

The monk's physical condition is no different from that of an ordinary person. He will also feel dizzy if he soaks in a hot spring for a long time, let alone play around while soaking.

"I'll deal with you later..." Fangfang said weakly, struggling to open her eyes.

"Ah yes yes."

Xu Fang gave a perfunctory reply: "We'll deal with it later. I won't be staying in Yangcheng for many more days. What can you do about it?"

Chapter 25 The Battle for Spirit Seeds

three days later.

The northern suburbs of the city.

Xu Fang stood on a high slope, observing with binoculars. In his view, a tall wall stood abruptly on the open ground, with patrolling guards everywhere.

"I can't get in..."
