Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

"Lingling, why isn't your hunting lodge doing any business?" Xu Fang was sitting in a booth on the first floor, drinking a cup of coffee.

I've been staying at the Azure Sky Hunting Lodge for a month now, and the number of commissions they've received hasn't even broken into single digits.

"No business means no business, what can I do?"

Lingling sat at the bar drinking juice, her twin ponytails hanging down her chest.

The legs, wrapped in a short skirt and stockings, were thin, but they couldn't reach the ground, swaying restlessly in the air.

“Look, all afternoon, your only business was this cup of coffee from me, and the profit isn’t even enough to cover your glass of juice,” Xu Fang said.

Lingling found Xu Fang extremely annoying: "What do you know? We offer high-end service. We might not be open for three years, but when we are, we can live off our earnings for three years!"

"Yes, yes, so every time a business opportunity comes your way, you coldly say, 'The starting price for a commission is 300,000, and depending on the difficulty, I won't accept any commissions below 300,000 from nobody'?"

"Don't you dare imitate me with that disgusting tone! And what's wrong with it? That's what all my senior brothers say!"

"They are them and you are you."

Xu Fang took a sip of coffee; it was too bitter, so he opened the sugar jar and added two sugar cubes.

"What's wrong with me?" Lingling jumped up and skillfully pulled a shiny badge from her pocket: "I'm a Hunter Master! A Master!"

"So?" Xu Fang looked at the little girl standing in front of him with her hands on her hips and gestured to indicate her height: "You're not even eleven years old yet, right? Who would dare to entrust a commission to an elementary school student?"

"Don't lump me in with those little brats!" Lingling snapped.

“That’s true,” Xu Fang said. “Besides me, no one believes that beneath your youthful appearance lies a world-weary heart.”

Lingling: "..."

Although the meaning is correct, I still feel like this kid didn't say anything nice!

She didn't want to get into trouble here anymore, so she grabbed a book and headed for the door. Xu Fang's leisurely voice rang out again: "I have a little suggestion, I wonder if you'd like to hear it?"

Lingling paused in her steps.

"Find a reliable partner and take on commissions in his name."

"Ha, I get it!" Lingling suddenly turned around: "So that's why you've been talking so much today, you wanted to be my partner. Let me tell you, with your mission completion rate, don't even think about it!"

Xu Fang has a hunter alias called Zhang San, which is no secret to Lingling.

Because he always treated hunter quests like treasure maps, his quest completion rate was consistently disappointing.

The only tasks that seem to have been truly completed are the graveyard rats and the cave lizards in Yangcheng when they first awakened, and at most, the "disappearance of a female student in the cafeteria".

Everything else failed.

Let alone compared to Lingling, even compared to a regular hunter mage, this data is appalling.

"I, Leng Lingling, am a hunter of principles. I would rather have none than a bad one. Even if I don't get any missions or earn a single penny, I would never find an unreliable partner!"

Lingling waved her little fist and spoke with a strong and clear voice!

"Well said!" Xu shouted in approval. "Tomorrow is Monday, so if you don't get a mission, you'll have to go to elementary school and dance 'The Times Are Calling' with your classmates!"

Lingling: "..."

The little fist slowly lowered.

Just then, the wind chimes rang, and a man with a muscular body, thick arms, and a neck that seemed to connect with the back of his head barged in.

Upon entering, a strong fishy smell filled the air.

"welcome!"

Lingling's eyes lit up. She was eager to prove herself to Xu Fang, and everyone seemed like a fat sheep offering business to her right now.

"I'm here to post a request... Little sister, where are your parents?"

The man looked at the petite and adorable little girl across the table, who was about the same age as his son.

Normally, he might tease him a bit, maybe pull out a couple of candies from his pocket, but he's not in the mood for that now.

"You can just tell me."

Lingling's face was serious, and she tried hard to show a professional attitude.

But prejudiced, the man wasn't buying it and stood up somewhat disappointedly: "Is this the Qingtian Hunting Grounds they recommended? We can't even find a single reliable person..."

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that the big fish was about to escape, Lingling couldn't sit still any longer. She jumped off the booth and ran over to Xu Fang with her short legs.

Xu Fang had just finished the last sip of his coffee and leaned back in his seat with an air of nonchalance.

Lingling hesitated for a moment, then held up four fingers. After thinking for a while, she slowly added another finger.

Xu Fang shook his head and reached out to press three of her fingers back down—his index, middle, and ring fingers.

The number "five" has become "six".

Her bright eyes were wide open, and her little tiger teeth were chattering.

Xu Fang yawned, took out his phone and started scrolling through short videos, while the man on the other end began to urge him impatiently.

"Okay, deal!"

Lingling lowered her voice. She had no choice but to accept it, even if Xu Fang was taking advantage of her misfortune. Otherwise, she would definitely be forced to go to a childish elementary school tomorrow and play childish games with childish classmates!

Lingling pulled Xu Fang to the man's side.

The man frowned even deeper. Is this all the established business has to offer? All they have are young girls and scoundrels. Is there no one more reliable?

Just then, he saw a mysterious and beautiful pattern magically appear behind the blond-haired man opposite him, only to be casually scattered again.

"I am Zhang San, a mid-level mage," Xu Fang said succinctly.

"Master Zhang, hello! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

The man's eyes suddenly burned with desire. At this time, magic could not be recorded by video equipment, and powerful magicians were very far removed from ordinary people.

Even if he, a fishmonger, had made some money by selling fish, there was still a huge gap between him and a noble profession like a magician.

Xu Fang's flamboyant outfits and even more flamboyant blonde hair were also interpreted as the Grand Mage's unconventional style, showing that his taste was different from that of us ordinary mortals!

"What's your surname, sir?"

"My surname is Yu, Yu Dazhuang."

"Lingling, go pour a cup of tea for the guest."

Xu Fang put his ten fingers together: "Mr. Yu, may I now tell you about your commission?"

Chapter 100 You're taking advantage of my misfortune!

"What I'm about to tell you, don't be afraid."

“I am a monk, I am not afraid, please speak.”

Yu Dazhuang took a deep breath: "I own a seafood processing plant in Hengsha. They're famous for their golden-tailed sea bream. If you want some, I can give you a discount..."

"Mr. Yu, tell me what you're asking."

“Oh right, right, about the commission.” Yu Dazhuang said, “You all know the fish market, the environment isn’t as decent as your hunting lodge, especially the air, it’s always bad, all that fishy smell. About a month ago…”

The environment of a significant number of food processing plants is, as those who know, unpleasantly odors that are hard to tolerate.

Yu Dazhuang is the kind of boss with a conscience; he didn't collude with those illegal workshops, and he always maintained good ventilation and hygiene standards.

But just a month ago, a foul odor suddenly appeared in the air and wouldn't go away.

"You guys have no idea, that smell made me want to vomit. I figured some bastards must be jealous of my business, so they threw dead cats and rats into my factory!"

"Someone wanted to discuss cooperation with me that day, but they left before I even entered the door, saying that my place was an illegal workshop and that cooperating with me would ruin their reputation!"

Am I being wronged?

"I got so angry that I stopped work for a day and had all the employees search for it! But after a whole day of searching, we still couldn't find where the stench was coming from!"

"I have no choice but to disinfect the entire place again, inside and out."

"But the smell came back in less than a day, and this time a lot of my fish were stolen, and even the security camera was broken!"

"Do you really think I, Lao Yu, am an easy target? Give me a little encouragement and I'll keep blooming endlessly, huh?"

"They've done another round of disinfection. This time, I'm not leaving. I'll just stay in the hut and keep watch!"

"At night, I was almost asleep when suddenly the ground started shaking, which woke me up. The smell in the air was suffocating!"

"I thought to myself, 'I've finally caught you, you little brat!' Just as I was about to leave, a series of screams rang out, along with a kind of eerie sound that I couldn't quite describe, like a monkey's."

"I mustered my courage and peeked through the peephole. A terrifying black monster was jumping around the house, grabbing raw fish and eating them!"

"I was so scared that I froze. I quickly ran back to bed and covered myself with the blanket, and that's how I endured until dawn."

Lingling interjected, "Didn't you call the police?"

Throughout the entire French world, ordinary people are still dealt with by ordinary police officers, who then report any cases involving demons to the Magic Association.

"I reported it! A woman came that day, saying she was a member of the Magic Association, with all the necessary documents, and told me to leave the matter to her and not to worry."

Lingling then asked, "Then why are you posting commissions again?"

Yu Dazhuang was slightly annoyed. Why did this brat talk like he was just arguing for the sake of arguing?

But considering they were family members of a great mage, he patiently explained, "The people from the Magic Association didn't ask for money. Who would be interested in a free job? Your Azure Sky Hunting Grounds is the most expensive and has the highest ratings in the entire Magic Kingdom, so I came here."

To reassure Xu, Yu Dazhuang added, "My processing plant suffers huge losses if it closes for even a day. Please resolve this as soon as possible; the commission fee is negotiable!"

Yu Dazhuang left an address and then took his leave.

After he left, Lingling jumped in front of Xu Fang, gritting her teeth and saying, "You took advantage of my misfortune!"

Even though she was already willing to split the profits 50/50, Xu Fang still wanted more!

"Hey, hey, hey, let's get the supply and demand relationship straight, shall we?" Xu Fang laughed. "You're the one who begged me, so I'm not allowed to raise the price?"

"But you're too dark!"

"A shrewd businessman who asks for 460,000 yuan as soon as someone wakes up has no right to criticize me."

"you···"
