Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 53: Underhanded Schemes?

Wang Teng spent the evening shopping with Tang Yue, and then they went to a five-star hotel, where he made sure to fulfill his promise of a reward.

It wasn't until dusk the next day that Wang Teng returned to his dormitory by taxi.

Holy crap!

"Brother, where have you been making your fortune?"

Lu Jie shouted, attracting the attention of the other two as well.

"Hmm~ You smell like a woman, looks like you had a good night last night."

Qian Fu, with the air of someone who's been there all along, leaned close to Wang Teng, sniffed him, and immediately came to a conclusion.

"This is a cultivation artifact. Judging by its quality and materials, it might even be a Star River artifact?"

"You're rich. This thing starts at 3 million, and the one you're wearing is clearly not something you can find on the market."

Huang Wen stared in shock. His family was in the construction business, so he was very familiar with all kinds of magical materials. He could guess the quality of some things at a glance.

"3 million to 3 million?"

Lu Jie's expression changed, and an undisguised sense of guilt surfaced. It was truly a case of comparing goods and discarding them; he felt that getting a Stardust Magic Artifact was already quite good.

Suddenly, the Stardust Magic Artifact around my neck didn't seem so appealing anymore.

Unexpectedly, someone in the dormitory was already wearing the Galaxy Magic Weapon before the start of the semester!

So, after all this time, he's the clown in the dorm?

"Yeah, I asked a friend to buy it for me."

Wang Teng smiled and replied.

"Brother, it seems you're not a simple person either. I misjudged Lao Qian."

"Let's go... the timing is perfect, you promised to treat everyone to barbecue, let's head to the barbecue street."

Qian Fu put his arm around Wang Teng's shoulder, acting like a good buddy, and didn't mention going out to pick up girls tonight.

"That makes sense. You can't run away now, get out of here!"

"Brother Jie, let's go!"

Huang Wen immediately realized what was going on and echoed the sentiment, his face beaming with a smile, but his eyes were filled with contemplation.

Qian Fu is a man who won't get up early for nothing. Don't let his womanizing and womanizing fool you; he's incredibly adept at interpersonal relationships and communication.

People who haven't reached that level will generally keep their distance and maintain a normal friendship, but once they reach the same level, their attitude will change.

He revealed some information about himself yesterday, and that guy became much closer to him. He's such a realistic person.

"Alright, let's drink until we drop tonight!"

Upon hearing Huang Wen's reminder, Lu Jie immediately stood up with a smile, boldly stirring up the atmosphere and pushing the pace.

He's the one who's least confident right now.

"Let's go."

Wang Teng narrowed his eyes, smiled, and turned around. As someone who pondered human nature all day long, how could he not see the situation?

However, what he valued most was Huang Wen. This guy was able to recognize it at a glance, so it seems he really has some skill. The materials for such high-end items are not cheap goods that can be found everywhere.

Who knows, in the future, we might really need this guy's help to build a manor or something; it could even become a resource channel.

……

"Cheers!" +4

The group of four arrived at the barbecue street outside the school. It was bustling with activity, filled with students from Mingzhu Academy eating and drinking.

"Brother, I want to discuss something with you. It has some good benefits."

After finishing a glass of beer, Qian Fu picked up a grilled oyster and started eating it, talking as he ate.

"Oh, what good news?"

Wang Teng glanced at him, then reached out and picked up a chicken wing, slowly eating it.

"We freshmen have a beast fighting tournament every year, right? If our summoning class loses, we'll lose all our resources."

"Winning only preserves the original resources, which is not fair. There must be another way. Later, I studied the rules in more detail and found that as long as I can win 200 games, I can obtain all the public resources of the entire system."

"I was originally very confident. To put it bluntly, my summoned beast is a Shadow Wolf, which has been in the servant advancement stage for some time. Especially since my opponent is a low-level mage, its actual combat strength is not much worse than that of a warrior-level mage."

"Throughout the entire Qing Campus, there are those who have reached the intermediate level, but those who can cast intermediate-level magic are probably no more than two hands' worth, maybe only one hand's worth, or even fewer."

"Among basic magic spells, only lightning magic can match the speed of my summoned beast."

"But how many lightning-type monsters are there? Besides, I also have a Warrior-level set of magical artifacts, so I'm basically guaranteed to win this competition."

"But until you appeared, to be honest, I wasn't confident I could beat you in the ring, since I don't have any magic weapons that can resist mind-based attacks."

"So what I'm saying is, don't play. We'll share the resources, split them 50/50, and I'll cover Huang Wen and Jie's share. How about that?"

Qian Fu said in a low voice, his face becoming serious. The resources were enormous, which was quite good for the current stage.

However, he also knew that since this person was able to wear the Star River Magic Artifact, there was a high probability that he could unleash mid-level magic, and he wouldn't be able to withstand mid-level mind-based fear magic.

There are other summoners, but they are far inferior to him, mostly at the servant level. There is also one servant in the advancement stage, who can contribute a decent number of victories.

Huang Wen and Lu Jie stared at Qian Fu in shock, never expecting that this guy would have such intentions.

Their gazes shifted to Wang Teng, noticing that he paused his barbecue eating, seemingly deep in thought.

Wang Teng hadn't expected Qian Fu to pay attention to this, showing his considerable ambition, but the chances of success were high.

The next cohort will have many scions of powerful families, some with mid-level cultivation and magical artifact sets, but that doesn't mean this cohort will have them too.

Another thing he was most worried about was the dean's impression. He couldn't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of a small matter; the good impression that big shot had was very important.

After all, their status is undeniable. To collude with the Summoning System to scheme against the entire system's resources for such a small amount of money is hardly a pleasant thing to say.

Don't say the dean can't find out; this kind of thing can't stand up to investigation. When resources are distributed, the truth will definitely come out.

He even mentioned his status as a trainee judge to the dean, implying that if he agreed to Qian Fu's request, there would be a problem.

"Qian Fu, it's not that I don't want to agree, but the dean knows my abilities. I got in through a special admission program, and the dean even met with me."

"You know what I mean, right?"

Wang Teng shook his head, saying with some regret, and then continued eating his chicken wings.

"this……"

Qian Fu paused, his mind racing, and he quickly came to a conclusion, seemingly at a loss for what to do.

He was a master of social skills and immediately understood the hidden meaning in Wang Teng's words. He couldn't possibly give the dean a bad impression for the sake of those few resources.

If it were him, he wouldn't do that either. In short, it's not worth it!

"Alright, it seems we're not going to have a chance to make a fortune. Pretend I never mentioned this, and you can pretend you never heard of it."

"Let's drink, let's drink..."

Qian Fu smiled and raised his glass, glancing at Huang Wen and Lu Jie.

"Haha~ Rich guy's right, I didn't hear anything, I'll drink first!"

Lu Jie downed the wine in his glass with a hearty laugh.

"Okay, done!"

Huang Wen nodded, indicating that he understood, since these words wouldn't sound good if they got out, and then drank a glass.
