I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 28, The Demon Hunting Team

Early in the morning, Jiang Shang woke up, quickly washed up, ate breakfast, put on a hooded sweatshirt, and went out.

Now that his wilderness training is over, and there's still more than half of summer vacation left, he should be focusing on his cultivation and maximizing the benefits of the Stardust Magic Artifact.

But he knew his own situation best; he was still some distance from becoming an intermediate mage, and he wouldn't be able to leave this year's special recruitment program.

It would be better to join the Hunter's Alliance. The military's compensation payments have already been distributed, and future resources will have to be earned through our own efforts. Also, considering that my [Heavenly Thunder] still needs spirit seed resources to feed it.

So today he plans to go to the Hunter Alliance to join the demon-hunting team, but he needs to get a haircut first.

It's been almost two months since my last haircut, and now my hair has grown so long it's covering my eyes; it's time for a trim.

Jiang Shang hailed a taxi after leaving his home.

"Master, let's go to the Hunter's Alliance!"

"Okay!"

The Hunter Alliance is located in the economic center of Cloud City, and many related industries have been built around it, including hair salons and bathhouses.

Imagine spending months out in the wild battling demons and monsters, then coming back to submit your quest and earn money—why not enjoy it?

What's more, it's just a few steps away; the bathhouse is just a left turn from the entrance!

After getting off at the Hunter Alliance, Jiang Shang first went to the nearby Vichy Hair Salon to get a refreshing haircut.

Looking at himself in the mirror, who had become somewhat handsome again, Jiang Shang felt very comfortable. Strength is temporary, but handsomeness lasts a lifetime!

Strive to make every reading experience feel like a welcoming home.

…………

The Hunter's Hall was bustling with people, feeling like a large exhibition hall or a job fair.

A huge LCD screen hangs on the wall of the Hunter's Hall, displaying the latest bounties, with the bounty price listed next to each one. The lowest bounty is 10, while the highest can reach a million.

Seeing the bounties of up to a million, Jiang Shang was tempted.

Unfortunately, I'm not strong enough right now, so I'll have to join the city's monster-hunting team.

Urban monster hunting teams are dedicated to eliminating urban threats and hunting down monsters that may be lurking within the city. They have always been the first choice for all hunters, since who would rather be a guardian hunter in the city than face unknown dangers in the wilderness? Besides, the rewards for urban monster hunting teams are consistently high.

"The Sharp Blade Squad is recruiting one Ice Mage. Requirements: 3+ years of combat experience, strong teamwork skills, and most importantly, proficiency in Ice magic. Bounty accepted, average reward 5 RMB, expected completion within 2 months!"

"Wind mage, our team urgently needs an experienced wind mage who can lure away the Cyclops Wolf. Other elemental mages need not apply!"

"We sincerely invite fire mages to join our Lone Dragon Squad. We guarantee efficient bounty completion and a hefty reward!"

They all brought their resumes with them!

What's the difference between this and hiring someone from a social background in the previous life?

Oh, you can't do without magic, there are class limitations!

Judging from the recruitment process, those with low magic levels on their resumes, or those who have just graduated and have no experience, will not be hired. After all, they have very little experience in dealing with demons, and they could easily lose their lives if they are not careful when facing demons. Who would dare to hire a newly graduated mage?

However, since I am a lightning mage, as long as the city's demon-hunting team in Cloud City is still recruiting, my chances of joining are almost 100%, unless they already have a lightning mage.

"Hello, is the City Monster Hunting Team recruiting members?"

Jiang Shang stopped a young man wearing glasses who looked like he was in a hurry.

"The City Monster Hunting Team? Come with me, I'm going too." Looking at Jiang Shang's slightly immature face, he naturally assumed that Jiang Shang was a recent college graduate who came here to look for a job, and taking him along was obviously not for any good reason.

"What a kind person!"

When they finally found the city's monster-hunting team, all they saw was a long queue! At the front of the queue was a recruitment booth where a young man was hiring.

Damn, this is almost like the civil service exam registration period!

You have to wait in line. First, there's the interview, then the second interview, and so on.

……

"What kind of trash are these guys? Do they think our city's monster-hunting team is some leisurely job where we just sit around and wait to eat the government's rice bowl?" A man in a cloak said from behind the recruitment desk.

"Captain, don't worry, with so many people recruiting, there's bound to be some good ones!" said a person who looked like a Kinder Surprise egg.

"That's what the man said."

"Actually, this one is quite good. He has mastered the level two fire magic - Burning Bones, which has considerable damage power," said the seemingly frail girl standing behind the cloaked man.

"When it comes to damage, I, the lightning mage, and the captain are enough. Why do we need anyone else?" said the lightning mage wearing a shirt and jeans.

"Hmm, we don't need to consider fire mages anymore. What we need now is a wind mage to lure the demons," the man in the trench coat said.

"How about Ah Feng? Actually, truly powerful mages usually have their own fixed teams and rarely wander around here. His wind magic level is the highest here, and he seems quite clever," said the Thunder Mage.

The captain nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it this way."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the young man in charge of recruitment at the recruitment table rushed over, shouting, "There...there's a Lei...Lei Mage applying to join our city's demon-hunting team."

"Really??" The cloaked captain perked up, his eyes shining as he looked into the long line of recruiters.

The other team members' eyes were also sparkling.

Thunder Mage!

Thunder mages have always been highly regarded by all hunter teams, and even some elite teams don't mind bringing along a novice thunder mage.

You know, newbies can be trained, but a lightning mage, who is less than one in a thousand, is impossible to find even with a lantern!

Too many lightning mages are already reserved, and they are easily recruited by powerful families and organizations. The probability of finding a wild lightning mage is extremely low!

Although they already have a Thunder Mage in their team, no one can have too many talents like that.

"Is that him?" The caped captain couldn't sit still any longer and came out from backstage.

"Yes, Captain," the young man replied.

After confirming Lei Fashi's identity, he walked directly up to Jiang Shang and asked, "Are you Lei Fashi?"

Jiang Shang didn't speak, but simply raised his hand. Instantly, arcs of electricity shot up from his palm, the purple light reflecting on the captain's face. The crackling sounds echoed around the recruitment booth.

The piercing sound immediately drew the attention of the group, who exclaimed in surprise upon discovering that it was a lightning mage.

"Holy crap, lightning-type??"

"Are you kidding me? The Thunder faction is trying to steal our jobs too! We can't live like this anymore!!"

"Alright, it's the Thunder system, then why bother with the interview? Let's go look at other places."

Upon seeing the lightning element, everyone drooped their heads like defeated roosters.

There was no way around it; lightning, as the most powerful element, possessed unparalleled advantages, and these people had absolutely no interest in competing.

Captain Cloak's face lit up with joy, and he nodded happily.

"You... you don't need to queue anymore, we've found people!" The team leader was also domineering, shouting directly at the long queue.

Jiang Shang turned around and found that the entire group behind him had dispersed.

Sure enough, in the game, the Thunder element's overwhelming power is no joke! It's like during a civil service interview, everyone else is a graduate of a top university, but you just pull out your resume showing that you were commended for a good deed in the RM Daily, and you sweep the whole room.

They're on completely different levels!

"Come, come, come, young man, welcome to our city's monster-hunting team. Let me introduce you to our team members... Oh, oh, let me introduce myself first. I am the captain of the city's monster-hunting team, Fifth Day, a fire mage," the cloaked captain introduced himself.

"?"

Is there a surname called "Fifth" or "First"? Jiang Shang was completely confused.

I'll write another one tonight.
