Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 37 Willing to Take the Bait

Time passed in a flurry of activity, and the chaos in the Demon Lands that had lasted for several months finally came to an end, and Bo City returned to its former vitality.

What followed was a period of prosperity, with a large number of mages returning to Bo City to make purchases, since they naturally wanted to spend the money they had earned.

With money comes the desire to enjoy life. Because of the monks' relaxation of spending, ordinary people also felt a sense of peace and a surge in market demand after the disaster.

This time it's the ordinary people's turn to make money; their opportunity will naturally come once the demon attacks end.

Behind the prosperous scene lies a greater darkness and crisis, and wise people have already begun to take action in advance.

"Mr. Wang, our offer for the Blue Apartment is already very high. To be honest, if it weren't for the prolonged disturbance caused by the demons, the property and land prices here would never have risen to this level."

A middle-aged man in a suit was earnestly persuading Wang Teng. As the real estate agent in this transaction, he knew that if the deal went through, his earnings would be substantial.

That's right, with only a month left until the end of senior year, Wang Teng and Tang Yue discussed it and persuaded her to sell the apartment.

He decided to sell the building he owned, since he didn't know if he would ever come back after going to Shanghai, and Tang Yue was also in a difficult position, likely to be transferred as well.

"Eighty million is too low, that price is impossible. The demand here is very high right now, there's no worry about selling them."

"If you can't offer a higher price, then you should leave."

Wang Teng had also researched the market; the prices here had increased at least three times compared to ten years ago.

Apartments in better locations command higher prices. While this place isn't exactly outstanding, it's a high-quality rental apartment.

Upon hearing his words, a look of anxiety flashed in the man's eyes. He had come more than three times already, and each time it was the same.

However, the financial backer behind the scenes is indeed very interested in buying it; it all depends on the level of acceptance between the two parties.

The lower the price he negotiates, the more he gets. However, there's a downside: he's not the only big spender interested in this business.

The person in front of me is a mage from Tianlan Magic High School, which means it's difficult to use force against him. Moreover, he's close to graduation, which means there's a very high chance he'll make a move.

As for who it will end up in, that's hard to say; it might not be him.

"My boss is very willing to acquire me. I wonder if Mr. Wang could give us a chance...."

"stop!"

"You can go now!"

Wang Teng waved his hand, not wanting to waste any more words; this guy really had no sincerity at all.

beep...

Just then, the phone on the table rang. Wang Teng picked it up and saw that it was Mu Bai calling, so he answered the call.

"Is there something you need?"

On the other end of the phone, at the Mu family manor, Mu Bai heard Wang Teng's voice. Beside him was Mu's butler.

Mu Bai glanced at the butler beside him, and seeing that the butler gave him a wink, he had no choice but to start talking to Wang Teng.

"I heard you're thinking of selling your apartment?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng, on the other end, immediately smiled. He had never intended to deliberately swindle money from the Mu family.

did not expect……

"That's right, you want to buy it? What price are you willing to pay? I'm currently dealing with agents."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man opposite him became even more anxious, but still dared not speak and could only wait for the call to end.

"One hundred million! I won't let you suffer a loss, how about that?" After saying this, Mu Bai glanced at the Mu family's butler, who was listening calmly.

"Alright, that's a generous offer. As expected of the wealthy Mu family of Bo City. Deal. So, where shall we meet?"

Wang Teng was overjoyed to hear this; the price was already acceptable, since if he couldn't sell it, he might end up with nothing.

Mu Zhuoyun has always regarded Bocheng as his own rear base, so it's quite possible that he's interested in these rental apartments.

"Just bring the materials to the school tomorrow, and I'll handle the transaction with you then."

Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief after speaking. Successfully completing this task was a small achievement, even if it was just a matter of making a phone call. It was still a contribution.

The housekeeper saw Mu Bai hang up the phone and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. Mu Bai was indeed more suitable to handle this matter. After all, the two were classmates and there was no obstacle to communication.

"I will speak to the head of the family about this, and you will receive a larger share of the profits at the end of the year." The butler said before leaving.

Mu Bai was somewhat disappointed after hearing this. He didn't need so much money; the resources were all controlled by the family head, and many good things couldn't be bought even with money.

Auction prices outside are often inflated, yet they are still highly sought after; his small savings simply cannot afford such extravagance.

"Ice-type resources..."

Mu Baichou rubbed his face with both hands, wondering if all his hard work in cultivation was worth it. He had almost gone gray thinking about the Mu family's ice-elemental resources.

"Why are you still here?" Wang Teng asked in surprise.

"Um... goodbye, Mr. Wang."

The middle-aged man was extremely disappointed. He had worked so hard for so long and schemed so much, but he never expected to fail like this.

He heard that the buyer was the Mu family of Bocheng, so how could they compete?

Wang Teng watched him leave the hall, then sent Tang Yue a message to tell her that the matter had been resolved.

If it were anything else, he could have made the decision on his own, but this building has some sentimental value, and it's also his and Tang Yue's home, so it's necessary to discuss it with her.

When he goes to Shanghai, he will definitely be living in a dormitory. The growth of his mental strength is extremely important. After reaching the fourth level of mental strength, so much time has passed, and he is still just short of breaking through to the fifth level.

The environment here in Bocheng can no longer meet his needs for rapid breakthroughs.

"The framework for demonic magic has now been completed, including Void Stealth, Void Concealment, Void Piercing, and Void Teleportation."

"The four basic capabilities are sufficient; we can add more as needed later."

"Moreover, time is running out, so we should focus our energy on mental strength and magic from now on."

"The progress of the Mind System is not bad, currently at the advanced level 1. The control of the Space System's star particles has been completed and is at the intermediate level 1. The Chaos System is quite pleasing, having already reached the initial level of full cultivation."

"Chaos-based abilities are really useful..."

"After reaching the highest level of cultivation, Chaos Chain seems to be able to reverse time, involving some manipulation of time. It should be reversing the direction of time and returning to a certain moment in the past."

"If you can manipulate the direction of time, you can certainly do the same for other things. You'll probably need to understand the characteristics and principles behind it to reverse the order."

"It is truly comparable to a space-based system, with enormous development potential."

Wang Teng stared at the apple floating above his palm, its surface coated with chaotic magical energy, the direction of gravity temporarily reversed.

Click~

A short while later, Tang Yue opened the door and came in. She saw Wang Teng playing with an apple, so she went over to him.

"Where do you plan to stay next?"

Tang Yue slumped onto Wang Teng, her alluring eyes seemingly trying to please him, captivating his heart.

Wang Teng stroked her face, feeling her alluring gaze, and pondered for a moment.

The reason I chose this place was because I was worried that my strength was insufficient and I might accidentally become a monster's stomach.

Now things are different; both he and Tang Yue can easily survive this impending danger.

In this way, the choice of location becomes less important, and convenience becomes the primary consideration.

"Let's splurge a little and choose a hotel near the school!"

A faint smile appeared on Wang Teng's face; perhaps there would be unexpected gains.
