Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 62: Enthusiastic Old Man

There were many hunters sitting in the spacious hall, like passengers waiting for a train to arrive at a station, looking up at the big screen to find their desired bounty.

Unlike these hunters, Li Yu came here not to look for a bounty mission, but to find someone.

"Sir, according to the records of our Hunter Alliance, the magic tool master you requested has already filled up all his schedules this year. The closest Master Che Rong will probably have a free schedule at the end of June next year. Do you need to make an appointment?"

That’s right, Li Yu came to the Hunter League this time just to make an appointment with the Magic Tool Master through the Hunter League’s official channels.

After the battle with Yi Canglang, Li Yu deeply realized how important a high-quality shield magic tool was. If he had it, he would not have almost lost his life.

In addition to the shield magic tool, there is also a lack of a special magic-slaying tool for bullying weak enemies. However, the magic tools on the market are not satisfactory, so Li Yu can only choose to look for a magic tool master.

If it was Li Yu himself, apart from having a little fame in Bo City, who would know him in a big city like Shanghai?

I guess the masters wouldn't bother to pay attention to me through personal connections. After much thought, I can only rely on my status as an elite hunter and make use of the channels of the Hunter Alliance.

The result was as Li Yu expected. The master's schedule was full, and it was unrealistic to meet him in a short time. However, Li Yu had plenty of time, so he could come over after entering the academy.

Li Yu nodded.

"Okay, help me make an appointment with Master Che Rong now."

"no problem."

After some operation by the Hunter Assistant,

"Please pay the reservation fee of one million."

"One million?" Fortunately, Li Yu swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth in time, otherwise he would have been embarrassed.

While paying the fee, I sighed in my heart that he is indeed a master. Even the reservation fee is one million. Is this robbery? No, robbery is not as profitable as this!

However, this is probably also a screening mechanism. The magic tool master's schedule is naturally very tight, and he has neither the time nor the mood to take small orders worth hundreds of thousands. He simply offers a high reservation fee to exclude the poor people who waste their time.

Li Yu, who had lost some money in his wallet, also accepted a few bounties. He had no choice but to do so because of the pressure of life.

It was not until just now that Li Yu realized that he was almost a pauper now. If he continued to develop, he might not even be able to afford the labor costs, let alone asking a master to help forge magic tools.

The amount of each bounty is not high, and all added together is just over 10 million. Most of them are tasks such as hunting down war generals and demons. If it were any other team of mage hunters, they would probably be busy for a while, and even have to worry about casualties.

But for Li Yu now, defeating demons is just a matter of raising his hand, especially since he has deliberately chosen demon species with similar habitats, which can save a lot of time.

After leaving the Hunter Alliance Hall, Li Yu headed straight for the last stop on his plan for today - Mingzhu Academy.

To Li Yu's surprise, Mingzhu Academy was much more relaxed than he had imagined. There was no inspection procedure and he passed through the school gate without any hindrance. Moreover, he was not entering the Green Campus prepared for novice mages, but the main campus which gathered the best students of Mingzhu Academy.

The process was so smooth that even Li Yu, a "smuggler", felt that the security guards at the school gate were not paying the school enough.

But after just one thought, Li Yu understood why Mingzhu Academy was so lenient.

As the best of the younger generation in the country, the fighting power of the students of Mingzhu Academy is comparable to that of a magic army, not to mention that most of the academy's instructors start out as high-level wizards. Who would be so bold as to come to Mingzhu Academy to cause trouble if he is tired of living?

Isn't this equivalent to robbing a printing factory when you're short of money?

Even if you don't want to live, you can't do this!
Once you enter the school, you will see young and high-spirited figures everywhere. Inside and outside, they all reveal their contempt and arrogance towards outsiders. As representatives of the country's top students, they are indeed qualified.

Moreover, just from a cursory glance, one can roughly feel the strong atmosphere of cultivation in Mingzhu Academy. Some people are talking about love and youth, but more people are discussing matters related to magic and cultivation.

The skills of using magic with open mouth and the theory of saving magic energy with closed mouth opened the eyes of Li Yu who came from a small place.

Li Yu was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and he didn't notice that he bumped into an old man walking towards him. "Sorry, I didn't look at the road when I was walking. Are you okay, old man?"

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, he cursed himself in his heart for being so stupid. Could the old people in Mingzhu Academy be ordinary old people?

The security guards sitting in the sun at the door are all mid-level wizards. This one is probably a highly skilled magic instructor.

The old man was very easy to talk to. He didn't blame him. He just frowned and looked at Li Yu for a while before saying:

"Young man, you look unfamiliar! Are you from Mingzhu?"

Ok?
Li Yu was a little nervous, and at the same time he felt that it was worthy of being the Pearl Academy. Even this ordinary old man could see that something was wrong with him, so he confessed honestly.

"The old man really has good taste!"

"I am a college entrance examination candidate this year and hope to apply for Mingzhu University. I plan to visit it in advance to experience the atmosphere of a prestigious school."

"Now it seems that Mingzhu Academy is indeed a top-notch academy, and it really lives up to its reputation."

"The young man has good vision."

The old man seemed to be very pleased with Li Yu's compliment, and his energetic face looked quite amiable.

"Our Mingzhu is one of the best magic schools in China. We have countless treasures. You will never regret choosing us."

"Yes, I think so too." Although he always felt that the other party was bragging, it was basically the truth. Li Yu nodded in agreement.

"it is good!"

The old man seemed very happy about Li Yu's visit. He waved his hand and
"Since you are here for a visit, do you know what is worth visiting in Mingzhu Academy?"

"I don't know."

Li Yu answered honestly.

"No problem if you don't know. Come, old man, I'll show you around."

Eh?
Li Yu had a lot of question marks on his head. He was dragged away by the old man without paying attention. Don't say it, this old man looked similar to Uncle Li at the entrance of the high school. Unexpectedly, he was so strong that Li Yu, a big guy, almost couldn't stand.

However, the latter was still immersed in deep doubt and shock at this time. He didn't expect that an old professor of Mingzhu Academy would be so enthusiastic?
It seems that the preparation for applying to Mingzhu Academy was right!

Although he said he was taking Li Yu for a walk, the old man actually just took Li Yu to the location on the campus map and circled out a few facilities worth seeing.

For example, gymnasiums, libraries...

Only these two places have lax identity checks and anyone can enter at will. Other facilities such as training grounds are strictly controlled. Not to mention outsiders, many training facilities are only accessible to students of corresponding levels.

For Li Yu, it was not easy to come to Mingzhu, so of course he had to go...

library!
if not?
Can I still go to the fighting hall?

Let him, a high-level wizard, watch a mid-level fight?
It's not like he's the instructor in charge of safety.

It would be better to follow the advice of Boss Zhan Kong and go to the library to bathe in the glory of knowledge. Ever since he met Shi Liang, the latter had dealt a deep blow to him, especially when the other party looked at him as if he were a fool.

Therefore, Li Yu thought that he needed to turn things around, and it seemed like a good thing to look at other people with that kind of eyes.

Thinking of this, Li Yu came to the public library of the main campus of Mingzhu Academy.
