Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 9 Bounty No. 52

The course schedule at Magic High School is quite relaxed, with classes in the morning and free time in the afternoon.

It is said to be free activity, but in fact it is time left for students to meditate. It's okay if some fool indulges himself for the whole afternoon. Don't blame the school for being cold-blooded if you fail the annual assessment and are expelled.

The vast majority of students are not fools. They all meditate and practice honestly in their dormitories and at home. After Li Yu finished his practice for the day, he went out and headed straight for the Hunter Alliance.

The semester was about to end, and he planned to take advantage of the winter break to go out for training in the wild. The atmosphere in Anjie was too comfortable and not suitable for the growth of his strength.

He had done outdoor training before, and with Zhan Kong's company, he picked off a few lone one-eyed demon wolves, so now little Li Yu could be considered an ivory tower student who had seen a little of the world.

The demon tribes around Bo City are far from powerful. The highest-level ones are only a few commander-level demons living in the mountains, and there are only a few general-level demons. He has successfully mastered the intermediate-level lightning magic Thunderbolt this semester and is now qualified to survive in the wild independently.

If you want to go to the wild, the most convenient identity is to be a hunter. Not only can you achieve your training goals, but you can also make some extra money.

Arriving at the Hunter Hall, Li Yu, who was in disguise and wearing a disguise mask, successfully found the office under the guidance of the road signs. Thanks to the relaxed management mechanism of the Hunter Alliance, no ID card or ID photo was required, and the procedures were handled in one stop without running around.

Hunter Alliance, the best choice for mages.

Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no authentication mechanism at all.

Unlike other organizations’ complicated verification mechanisms, the Hunter Alliance only has one identity credential - the Hunter Badge, which is used by one person only and is secure.

After all, there are always special times when hunters need to act in secret, and the Hunter Alliance has thoughtfully waived the registration of identity documents.

As long as you are still the same person, that's enough.

Not long after, a hunter named Yu Chen entered the world.

After becoming a hunter, Li Yu's first thing was to accept bounties. He couldn't accept bounties worth millions due to the hunter level restrictions, but he still dared to take action on bounties worth hundreds of thousands.

"Hello, Feather Dust Hunter."

The counter clerk was not surprised to see the young man who had just registered as a hunter appear in front of her again. Her good work ethic allowed her to ask Li Yu about his needs with a smile.

"I want to accept this reward. The reward number is 01007310052."

The waitress was slightly surprised when she heard the bounty number. With her rich work experience, she could tell something extraordinary from the bounty number. No matter what she thought, she quickly retrieved the bounty records.
"Collect ten demon wolf claws and one ferocious wolf skull. There is no hunter level requirement and no time limit for completion. The reward is 800,000. Hunter Yuchen, please confirm whether to accept it."

"confirm."

"Okay, the reward has been accepted."

The waiter handled the relevant formalities skillfully. At the same time, the bounty list in the hall also changed. The idle hunters gathered in the Hunter Alliance hall were curious about which bounty was won by the Hunter team. They were shocked when they saw it.

"Oh my god, what idiot accepted that bounty number 52!"

"What? The reward for number 52 has been accepted?"

"Which number 52 is offering a reward?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's number 52 from four years ago."

"There's someone willing to accept that kind of reward? Are you kidding? Why would you choose this?"

"Who says it isn't?"

The legendary bounty number 52 is well-known in the hunter hall, collecting ten magic wolf claws and one ferocious wolf skull. As a major specialty of the Bo City area, the local hunters and the magic wolf tribe are very familiar with each other, and they are very familiar with each other.

Ten sets of magic wolf claws are fine, and they can be collected by hunting three or four slave-level one-eyed magic wolves. An experienced team of beginner hunters can complete the task in a week at most.

The only thing left was the skull of the ferocious wolf. That was the skull of a war general-level monster called the Bone Spike Ferocious Wolf. War general-level monsters were not creatures that could talk nicely.

Not to mention that the Bone-Spurred Wolf's body is as hard as iron, just its three-story-tall physique, when standing there, the enormous pressure and bloody smell are enough to make even the most timid magician lose their combat effectiveness on the spot.

To hunt down the Bone-Spurred Wolf, at least a team of mid-level mages is needed. And this is only the combat power of the Bone-Spurred Wolf itself. The wolf clan is a pack of demons. A warrior-level demon like the Bone-Spurred Wolf has at least nearly a hundred slave-level one-eyed demon wolves under his command.

There was a huge difference in combat effectiveness between the pack of magic wolves led by the Bone-Spurred Wolf and dozens of scattered soldiers. A team of seven or eight mid-level mages couldn't even escape unscathed.

Although it's dangerous, being a mage hunter is a job that costs lives for money. If the reward is good, it's not against doing it, but... you have to pay!
800,000 yuan, you want to hire a team of mid-level mages? What about sending beggars?

Spending a month or two in the mountains, exposed to the wind, rain, sun, rain, snakes, insects, rats and ants, not to mention the "good friends" like that, you also have to risk your life, all for 100,000 yuan each? Are you kidding?

Wouldn't it be great to accept those million-level bounties if you have the ability?
Due to its extremely high risk and extremely low cost-effectiveness, this bounty remained unclaimed for four years and became the "Legendary No. 52".

Just as the hunters in the hall were trying to figure out which god (idiot) had accepted bounty No. 52, Li Yu had already walked out of the Hunter Alliance hall.

To be honest, doesn't he want to accept those lucrative bounties? But as a junior hunter, this is all he can do.

If you accept the bounties on those beginner mage teams, it will be safe and worry-free, but that will make the training meaningless. Isn't training just about finding ways to die?
The one-month winter vacation is just right for him to go to the mountains and slowly play with the magic wolves to see who dies first. But before that, he still needs a piece of information about the distribution of the one-eyed magic wolf's nest. Diving into the mountains like a headless fly is simply seeking death.

And who is more familiar with the distribution of the magic wolf lairs than the military magician who is responsible for the defense of the entire Bo city?

"Have you mastered intermediate magic?"

I could feel Zhankong's shock even through the phone. Li Yu went into battle empty-handed, without any magic props to assist him. He also had to take care of wind magic at school. Zhankong could only sigh that I am worthy of being the one who has a good eye for choosing younger brothers.

Zhan Kong's tone of "the previous wave died on the beach" on the phone made Li Yu give up on reporting the good news that he could now cast wind magic in addition to intermediate lightning magic.

I'm so lucky to meet a good boss in my eight lifetimes. I can't repay him with evil and make him angry to death, right?

As for Li Yu's desire to distribute intelligence to the Demon Wolf Tribe, Zhan Kong said it was a piece of cake.

The military cooperates with the Hunter Alliance every year and just recently completed updating the intelligence around Bo City. The new version of the intelligence was quickly sent to Li Yu's account.

"Oh my god, so many?"

As soon as Li Yu got home, he sat on the sofa in the living room and opened the intelligence. The densely packed red dots on the map made people with claustrophobia feel sick.

Moreover, one red dot represents a demon's lair. There are at least a hundred such red dots on the entire map. Among them, several purple-red dots deep in the map are marked with eye-catching exclamation marks. They should be the locations of the leaders of the demon wolves.

No wonder humans can only hide in the Security Realm. The total number of magic wolves in the nests marked on the map alone is estimated to be tens of thousands, not to mention the free magic wolves in the vast mountains. Once the Security Realm is lost, Bo City will instantly become a slaughterhouse.

Regarding the question of whether the big family in Versatile Mage belongs to an aristocratic family or a clan, it was mentioned in the previous reader comments.

The author checked and found that there was no clear distinction between the use of aristocratic families and clans in the original text. They were basically mixed. There was no obvious boundary between aristocratic families and clans compared to the real world.

The author will pay attention to this issue in the future.
