Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

The captain, who looked dark-skinned and weathered, was also very happy after counting the catch. He said that he had never had such a high yield when farming tumbleweeds before. It was considered good if each batch of tumbleweeds yielded 25 tons. This time, not only did they harvest 30 tons, but the diligent fishermen also caught nearly 10 tons of more expensive red-striped crabs with their nets. This was unheard of. Could it be that the mixed farming of these two seafood products helps increase the yield? Wang Yu didn't know either, but he could feel the fishermen's joy.

However, the captain told him that the fishing grounds belonged to the Mu family, and they took 95% of the profits each year, leaving only 50% for the fishermen. Upon hearing this, Wang Yu was furious. These damned powerful families were truly ruthless!

Anyway, the fishermen wouldn't get much money from these catches, and with such a large catch this time, their income would only increase. So Wang Yu simply asked an experienced fisherman to pick out all the largest and best seafood for him. If the Mu family asked later, he could just say that the water drop clams weren't growing well because of the interference from the red-striped crabs.

In short, the dear old fisherman helped him select over two hundred catties of high-quality seafood from each of the two types. The smallest of the red-striped crabs weighed five catties, and the smallest water droplet shells were at least thirty centimeters long. It can only be said that the magical world is a magical world. These crabs and shells, which are bigger than his head, are so big that he probably couldn't even finish one in one meal.

Back at the port, Wang Yu's final bounty mission began: escorting the truck carrying the seafood to Shanghai. The return journey was surprisingly smooth, without any encounters with demons. A day and a night later, the truck, laden with fresh seafood, arrived at the Shanghai border, finally concluding Wang Yu's intense and fulfilling first experience as a hunter. Back in his dormitory, he first took a good shower, then snuggled into his warm bed, catching up on the sleep he had missed during his time traveling.

The next day, Wang Yu went to the Hunter's Alliance with practiced ease. After completing five bounty missions, Wang Yu's hunter contribution points reached 100, advancing him to the intermediate hunter level. Furthermore, because the amount of rolled tooth grass and silver crawler fish gallbladders he collected exceeded the minimum bounty requirements, he received additional rewards. In total, he earned 100,000 yuan in these ten days!

Wow, hunters actually make that much money! And this is just the most basic tasks like collecting ordinary materials outside the border and being a bodyguard—quite simple tasks. What about the more difficult tasks? Could they make even more money? Wang Yu started to get excited.

After collecting the rewards for these bounty missions, Wang Yu found the hunter's assistant from last time and obtained information on numerous private hunting lodges in Shanghai from her.

"Sir, your skills are indeed impressive. I had estimated that those tasks would take about fifteen days to complete, but you finished them in just ten days." The young hunter assistant smiled and said, "I have also collected the information on the private hunting firms you requested last time. There are quite a few good hunting firms in Shanghai that are hiring recently, let's take a look at them one by one."

"The most reputable private hunting agency in Shanghai is Qingtian Hunting Agency. It's a long-established agency with a near 100% mission completion rate, and they're currently recruiting hunting mages. However, perhaps because the boss has rather strict requirements, many hunting mages don't like going to Qingtian Hunting Agency."

"This Pearl Demon Agency is also very powerful. It was originally a hunter team composed of several students from Pearl Academy. Later, they joined forces to open a hunting agency. Every year, they recruit a large number of new hunter mages and provide one-on-one mentoring. Many powerful hunter mages have emerged from here."

"The Super Electric Shock Hunting Grounds was originally founded by a lightning mage who focused on demon hunting missions. Later, he sold the hunting grounds to a big boss from the Cheng family. Now, the hunting grounds have expanded their business scope, but the demon hunting missions that used to have the highest completion rate have not been doing so well in recent years."

"The demons trembled. This hunting ground has become quite famous among hunter mages in recent years. Their mission completion rate is at a record high, and the rewards are exceptionally high. However, the workload is also enormous, and many hunter mages can't handle it after a few months. Oh right, a hunter mage who worked there once summarized it with a famous saying: 'Only one thing can beat, the demon or the heart.'"

"Alright, alright, that's all for now." Wang Yu was sweating profusely. "Dude, where did I end up in? Is this still a mage world?" However, his original target, the Azure Sky Hunter's Guild, also appeared in the information, so he could legitimately apply there.

The assistant transferred all the details to Wang Yu's phone and even saw him downstairs, sweetly saying that he was welcome to come back for her services again. No wonder, Wang Yu was really generous with his money, which probably made her think she had met a rich guy.

In short, Wang Yu headed towards the address of the Qingtian Hunting Grounds in the information. The hunting grounds were not far from the Magic City Academy. After passing Jing'an Temple and turning into an old street, he arrived.

However, if you didn't see the signboard hanging in the alley fluttering in the wind, you would really think that an English teahouse had opened in this alley with the charm of the Republic of China era!

At the entrance of the old shop, a young man who looked to be about the same age as Wang Yu was sitting cross-legged on a bench, seemingly meditating. Wang Yu peeked through the window and saw that there was only one girl with long pigtails sitting next to the counter in this teahouse/cafe.

"Are you posting a commission?" The handsome young man suddenly spoke, startling Wang Yu. Turning around, he realized that the guy had woken up from his meditation and said, "The starting price for commissions at Qingtian Hunting Center is 300,000. The fee will be increased depending on the difficulty of the commission. We're sorry, we don't accept commissions below 300,000."

This guy has a rather gentle voice, perfect for a devoted male supporting character in a female-oriented novel, Wang Yu thought to himself, though thankfully he didn't show it on his face. He also noticed that this place was definitely unusual; the starting price was 300,000. To put it in perspective, most of the missions Wang Yu had seen on the Hunter's Alliance bounty board, limited to high-level hunters, only cost around 200,000 to 300,000 per mission. It seemed the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds were indeed a high-end place.

"Hello, I'm here for an interview. This is a letter of introduction from the Hunter Alliance. Are you a Hunter Mage from the Azure Sky Hunter's Den?" Wang Yu took out an envelope stamped with the Hunter Alliance's seal from his bag. This thing wasn't cheap; one from the Hunter Alliance cost five thousand yuan!

"Oh, so you're the one who signed up this morning to become a hunter mage at our Azure Sky Hunting Grounds?" The handsome young man stood up from the bench, stared at Wang Yu for a moment, and then looked at him with some doubt: "You're so young, can you really be a hunter mage? Let me see your cultivation level."

A surge of inquisitive spiritual energy came over him, and Wang Yu did not resist, generously showing him the wind-type stardust.

"Level 3, Beginner? Sorry, your strength might be a bit below our requirements..."

The young girl next to the reception desk also ran over: "A novice mage dares to come to our Azure Sky Hunting Grounds? Go back, I'm magnanimous and won't hold it against you for disturbing my senior brother's meditation."

"Adults don't hold grudges against children?" Looking at the little girl, who was almost ten years old, Wang Yu was speechless. Just then, an old man's voice came from inside the house.

"Lingling, Xiaoding, has someone requested anything?"

"Grandpa, you're here for a job interview. You're too young and your cultivation level is too low, so we won't hire you." Lingling turned back into the house and said this, then continued to glare at Wang Yu with unfriendly eyes. Xiao Ding, who was standing next to her, could only smile apologetically. He must have been used to this precocious little girl's style of offending people with her words.
