Full-Time Magister: A Unique Divine Gift, A Fusion of Magical Systems!

Not long after the phone call ended, Shao Peiyu's car stopped in front of the Dongfang family's old house.

The old house is located on a hillside in the suburbs of Shanghai. With its white walls and black tiles, and deep courtyard, it exudes a dignified and serene atmosphere that has been passed down for centuries.

The door was wide open, and Dongfang Lie was already waiting at the entrance, dressed casually, waving enthusiastically at him.

"Brother Yu! We've been waiting for you!" Dongfang Lie grabbed Shao Peiyu's shoulder and pulled him into the courtyard. "My dad said he'll have Uncle Mo, who manages the mines, come over personally. He'll explain everything clearly to you!"

Dongfang Linlin also came out of the living room, holding a cup of hot tea and handing it over with a gentle smile: "Brother Pei Yu, please sit down. This is freshly brewed pre-rain tea."

Shao Peiyu accepted the tea and had just sat down when a middle-aged man in a dark suit strode over.

He stood tall and straight, with sharp eyes, and wore the family crest of the Dongfang family on his chest. He was none other than Dongfang Mo, the Dongfang family's chief steward in charge of mineral trade and mining.

"Young Master Shao." Dongfang Mo extended a hand, his tone warm, "I heard that you are going to mine a magic stone mine, so I brought a complete set of information on the mine, as well as the procedures for clearing out demons and purchasing equipment. Feel free to ask me anything."

Shao Peiyu smiled, shook hands with the other party, and took the document.

Without any preamble, he immediately opened the documents and posed his first question: "The primary problem is the demons near the mine, right? My mine is located in the northern part of Shanghai, a desolate area where the demon density should be quite high."

"That's right." Dongfang Mo pushed up his glasses and spoke eloquently, "Magic stone veins are mostly hidden deep in the mountains, where slave-level and warrior-level demons are easily bred. If they are not cleared out, safety accidents can easily occur during mining."

"There are two ways to solve this: one is to use the protective barrier of the City Core, which can directly sweep out the demonic aura of an entire mountain, causing them to retreat on their own initiative, which is extremely efficient; the other is to form a group of hunter mages to eliminate them one by one, which is safe but time-consuming and labor-intensive."

Shao Peiyu nodded, then asked, "Is the heart of the city the heart of the earth?"

"Hmm." Dongfang Mo nodded. "This thing is almost out of the question. It's a top-tier resource that's only used when building cities. Using it to clear a small mine is a huge waste of its potential."

Dongfang Linlin added, "Brother Pei Yu, our family has several small hunter groups we can cooperate with. We can directly post bounties and hire professional hunter mage groups to clean up the mess. It's very safe."

"What about equipment and manpower?" Shao Peiyu continued to press.

"Don't worry about that!" Dongfang Lie patted his chest confidently. "For my and Lin Lin's sake, you can use all of the Dongfang family's mining equipment as you please, and you can also borrow personnel—all at a 30% discount! With our relationship, talking about money would be too formal!"

Dongfang Mo echoed, "Yes, Young Master Shao, the equipment is the latest magic energy mining machine, with excellent safety measures; as for personnel, we have a dedicated mining team with rich experience, you only need to make a simple connection."

Shao Peiyu felt a warmth in his heart. The Dongfang family was truly helping him, not only providing technical support but also reducing most of the costs.

Of course, a large part of this was probably due to his uncle Shao Zheng, not just because of the good relationship between the younger generation.

Just as he was about to thank him, Dongfang Lie suddenly slapped his forehead, leaned closer, and whispered a crooked idea: "Brother Yu, why spend money to hire a hunting mage team? Many of our club's senior members are mid-level mages; they're just idling around anyway. Let them go and clear out demons; it'll be good practice and experience!"

Shao Peiyu frowned and shook his head in refusal: "No. The risk of exterminating demons is too high. Although they have magic, most of them have never experienced actual combat. Going to the mine rashly could easily lead to trouble. Besides, the club's mission is to push the limits, not to die."

"Hey, Brother Yu, don't be so rigid!" Dongfang Lie stamped his feet anxiously. "We each got one of the White Demon Eagle's eggs, and we feel guilty just holding onto them without doing anything! Letting us go and clear out the demons would be a good way to put our talents to good use and earn some extra money; everyone would be happy to do that!"

Shao Peiyu pondered for a moment. He knew that the mine given by the Zu family was remote and that clearing out the demons was indeed troublesome. If he were to hire a group of hunter mages, he would not only have to spend a lot of money, but also have to wait for their schedule.

The club's senior members are all young mages with a certain foundation; with a little training, they might be able to give it a try.

"Yes, but it must be voluntary." Shao Peiyu finally relented. "Let me make it clear beforehand, everything is entirely voluntary, not mandatory. And it must be stated that this is not a club activity, but simply an operation to cleanse demons."

"No problem!" Dongfang Lie immediately decided, "I'll send out recruitment notices to the members' groups right away!"

Shao Peiyu finalized the details of subsequent equipment integration and personnel training with Dongfang Mo before getting up to say goodbye.

After leaving the Dongfang family, he returned to the club, only to be stopped by the receptionist as soon as he entered.

The receptionist looked at him with a troubled expression and said in a low voice, "Mr. Shao, this young lady wants to become a senior member, but she hasn't awakened magic and doesn't meet the requirements. She can only become a junior member."

Shao Peiyu then noticed a little girl of about twelve years old standing next to the front desk.

She had her hair tied in a high ponytail, her eyes were bright and lively, and her skin was a healthy tan. She was dressed in a smart short outfit and carried a small backpack. However, the aloofness in her expression gave people a feeling of keeping people at a distance, which overshadowed the vitality that should have been present at her age.

When the little girl saw Shao Peiyu approaching, her eyes lit up immediately. She quickly stepped forward, tilting her head up, and asked, "Are you the club owner? I need to talk to you alone!"

Shao Peiyu nodded slightly, his tone calm: "You want to become a premium member?"

"Yes!" The little girl nodded emphatically, frowning. "Isn't your club all about pushing your limits and seeking thrills? That's exactly what I'm looking for! But the receptionist said I haven't awakened magic, so I can only be a junior member. Junior members can only play within the safe zone, which is no fun at all!"

She got angrier and angrier as she spoke, her brows furrowing into a tight knot.

Shao Peiyu patiently explained, "The benefits of being a junior member are actually quite numerous. You can eat, drink, and stay at the club anytime, use the training equipment, and enjoy free access to the soon-to-open amusement park. There are also plenty of activities within the Anjie. There are demons outside the Anjie, and it's too dangerous for ordinary people who haven't awakened their magic to go there. I can't take the risk."

"I'm not an ordinary person!" The little girl suddenly straightened her back, her tone suddenly becoming serious, and she showed a silver badge from her backpack—the badge had a soaring falcon engraved on it, with the word "Hunter" below and the word "Master" engraved on the edge.

"My name is Lingling, and I'm a master hunter from a private hunting lodge!"

Shao Peiyu's pupils contracted slightly.

Is she Lingling?
