Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 69 Gift Giving, Sansha City
In the main campus of Mingzhu Academy, Fire College, training ground.

Ding Yumian was practicing magic, standing on the training ground. The usually gentle and quiet southern girl's aura changed drastically, and her aura of controlling everything could even make the male students feel inferior. The star map was drawn quickly, and her fists fell heavily.

"Fierce Fist Earth Brake!"

The ground began to churn, and a bright red corridor of flames extended from the fist into the distance.
"boom!"

The gorgeous and colorful Earth Flower shot up into the sky, tens of meters high, like a fountain of fire gushing out from the ground. The dazzling firelight shone on Ding Yumian's face, making her look like a fire queen.

The giant pillar of fire dissipated, and all the targets in front disappeared, leaving only pools of ashes that were burned by the flames.

"Yumian!"

Huang Xingli, with short hair and a lively look, came to the training ground.

"I knew you were here."

Huang Xingli smiled proudly. When it comes to understanding her best friend, she is definitely the best.

"Xingli, is there anything urgent?" Ding Yumian was pushed by Huang Xingli on the shoulder and walked out of the training ground.

"Of course it's urgent!"

Huang Xingli smiled,
"Someone gave you a present!"

"Gift?" Ding Yumian frowned slightly.

"Didn't you help me say no?"

As the most beautiful girl in Huoyuan College, Ding Yumian has never lacked suitors. However, to their attitudes and various overtures, Ding Yumian's only response is rejection.

For this reason, she never liked accepting gifts from other classmates. Her good friend Huang Xingli knew this very well and would always refuse anyone who wanted to show kindness to her bestie through her.

But why did you accept it this time?

This doesn't fit my best friend's personality!
"This wasn't sent by the people from our main campus."

Huang Xingli explained,

"The gift belongs to someone else."

"Someone else?" Ding Yumian just thought about it and said the identity of the gift giver.

"Is it my junior?"

"Yu Mian, don't you understand this very well?"

Ding Yumian smiled silently, not because she understood, but because she didn't know many people outside the main campus of Mingzhu. The only one who could send her a gift without notifying her in advance was her junior brother who came and went without a trace.

Since he didn't know Ding Yumian's address, Li Yu could only fill in the express delivery address into the Fire Courtyard.

Sisters Ding Yumian and Huang Xingli returned to their shared apartment, each holding a box.

As soon as she arrived at the apartment, Huang Xingli couldn't wait to unpack the boxes.
"Yumian, open it and take a look!"

"Don't you have one too?"

Ding Yumian couldn't stand her best friend's irritable look, so she spoke in a teaching tone.

Li Yu did not give gifts to Ding Yumian alone, but to each of his two best friends.

"Hey, can I be like you?"

Huang Xingli understood this routine. She and Li Yu had only met a few times and were just acquaintances at most, not even friends. The reason she received the gift this time was purely because she loved Li Yu.

"Open it quickly and take a look."

"Okay, okay." Ding Yumian sometimes felt like she was just coaxing a child.

"open to take a look."

A suitcase. When the suitcase was opened, there were three bottles of red and blue liquids, along with an instruction manual.

Ding Yumian glanced at it and handed the instruction manual to Huang Xingli who was looking around.

"I'll show you, alright."

"My junior's friend sent him a sample of the drug he developed. He asked him to find a few more people to try it out and tell him how it felt after using it."

"Is this thing really drinkable?" Huang Xingli hesitated, holding a smooth glass test tube in her hand. There was no label, no production date, and no manufacturer. Was it really "three noes"?

Ding Yumian opened one of the test tubes, sniffed it with her nose slightly moved, and smelled a strange and refreshing fragrance that made her feel calm.

"should be no problem."

Ding Yumian and Huang Xingli began to study the usage of the two potions. Li Yu had already left the Magic City and boarded the small ship "Yuchen" to Qiong Province.

Of course, as summer is approaching, Li Yu is certainly not going to the southernmost tip of the motherland to escape the heat.

The land area of ​​Qiong Province is not very impressive among many provinces in China, but it has the largest ocean area. There are countless islands and reefs of all sizes in the South China Sea, which disappear and reappear with the ebb and flow of the tide.

Whenever the tide recedes, there are always some amphibious sirens running to the rocky beach to rest.

For example, turtle monsters.

Turtle monsters have been famous for their long lifespan and strong defense since ancient times. If you really want to make a shield magic tool, the thick shell of a turtle monster would be a good choice.

Sansha City.

As a young city under the jurisdiction of Hainan Province, Sansha City has a small population and a small land area, but it is in charge of many large and small islands and surrounding waters including the Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha Islands.

The ocean hides countless monsters, and at the same time, these monsters also symbolize huge wealth and resources.

Strictly speaking, the strongest defense force of this city surrounded by the ocean is not the military mages, but the demon hunters gathered from all over the world.

A large number of hunters will hunt sirens in the surrounding seas, islands, reefs and other areas, and sell the monster bodies and various parts to official or private buyers in exchange for huge wealth.

In addition to the monsters, the vast sea and abundant water elements produce a large amount of water resources, including many spiritual seeds and even soul seeds that are widely sought after in the outside world.

There are also some fearless hunters who risk being attacked by sea monsters and dive into the seabed, trying to pick some precious resources unique to the ocean.

In such a fertile land, there is never a shortage of news about a hunter becoming rich overnight due to good luck.

The most lively place in Sansha City is not the Magic Association, nor the Trial Council, nor the City Government, but the Hunter Alliance Building.

In this small city, the Hunter Alliance occupies a building exclusively for itself, and nearly 10,000 hunting mages come in and out of here every day.

The Hunter Alliance Building is nearly two hundred meters high and has forty-five floors. The fortieth floor and above are offices for the Hunter Alliance staff, while the thirtieth to fortieth floors are for elite hunters and are also activity venues. Bounties, intelligence, various resources, etc. are all far more sophisticated than the thirty floors below.

Li Yu entered the 30th floor, took out his hunter badge and showed it to the hunter assistant who came forward.

"Master Hunter!"

The hunter assistant was slightly startled. There were hunter masters in this hunter building, but compared to elite hunters, hunter masters were already the absolute top of the hunter circle, and were particularly rare given the huge number of hunters. Especially since the one holding the hunter master badge was a young man who looked to be in his twenties or thirties. It was rare for someone to be a hunter master at such an age.

All of this stems from Winged Wolf's record of killing commander-level monsters, as well as the huge positive impact during the disaster period, which allowed the Hunter Alliance to proactively give Li Yu a large amount of hunter points. Combined with the various bounties he completed for forging magic tools this year, Li Yu finally crossed the threshold of becoming a hunter master last month.

The hunter assistants in the high-level areas were far more professional than those in ordinary areas. Even though Li Yu looked extremely young, they did not show any suspicion or distrust. Instead, they respectfully invited Li Yu into a meeting room.

"I need bounties and information about turtle krakens."

As soon as he sat down, Li Yu went straight to the point.

"No problem, please wait a moment sir."

The hunter assistant skillfully operated the laptop at hand, and ten minutes later, he summarized all the information and spread it out in front of Li Yu.
