Chapter 8 First Income

The old horse relieved himself, cleaned up his body to make him look less embarrassed, and then walked ahead to face the women's interrogation.

Seeing this, Wang Li quietly walked to the co-pilot of the pickup truck with Hotaru in his arms and sat down, waiting for his teacher to come back.

He didn't mean to meddle at all, just watched Hotaru intently, watching her 'recharge' in his arms......

In fact, it's a charge for Hotaru, but isn't it an improvement for Wang Li?

He was born with abnormal mental power, growing rapidly, and no one taught him to dredge and control it in time, and now it is difficult to try to control it by himself...... On the contrary, he has reached the first-class level in the ability of mentality mediation.

Now that he has given this extra 'burden' to Hotaru, the more he gives, the more he will be able to control his mental power...... It had been a long, long time since he had tried what it was like to be 'focused'.

The old horse and the lady chatted again, and even took someone down to check the situation......

Wang Li knew that it would take some time for him to do so.

The weather is already hot, and there is no air conditioning on Lao Ma's dilapidated little truck, and it is really hot and humid for people to stay inside.

Fortunately, Hotaru noticed her master's discomfort and naturally emitted some cool moisture...... This made the inside of the truck cool all at once.

Wang Li liked the firefly in his arms even more, and felt that such a spirit attendant could not be found even with a lantern......

"I'm so lucky to have you."

He praised with joy.

And Hotaru is also very happy because of this.

After about half an hour, the old horse returned to the car with the demon sealing bag in his hand.

"Hiss~"

He sat in the car and sighed comfortably, the time he had been outside with the lady for a while had already made him sweat again.

The weather in the south is so frustrating.

Then he glanced at Hotaru, who was acting as an 'air conditioner' in Wang Li's arms, and couldn't help but praise: "Okay, she's really useful." ”

He took out a thick wad of money from his bosom...... These are all dragon coins with a maximum denomination value of 200!

In the land of dragons, normal consumption cannot be used in such large denominations...... It seems that this lady is still very good-looking.

Lao Ma licked his fingers and counted twenty dragon coins for Wang Li, and said, "This time the guest is very satisfied, because you have also cleaned the basement, so you have given some more." ”

Wang Li was not polite, and reached out to take the money...... A total of four thousand dragon coins, which is less than half a day's income!

It would be nice to have this kind of income every day...... Then he will soon be able to take Jiang Yu to a larger house to live.

"Thank you, teacher!"

He thanked him sincerely.

As a result, Lao Ma's face turned red.

To tell the truth, today's mission was mainly completed by Wang Li's spiritual attendants.

As a guide, he, a 'veteran witcher', seems very embarrassed.

But instead of having any doubts about the way the money was paid, Wang Li thanked him so sincerely...... This gave rise to a sense of guilt in his heart.

But after all, he is a 'veteran witcher', and his thick skin is just like that.

He said, "It's still early, so I'll take you to the club to register for an apprenticeship." ”

"After all, only if you officially become an apprentice under my name, you are qualified to wait for me to retire and inherit everything from my witcher."

This is the second time Lao Ma has mentioned this matter, and it can be seen that he attaches great importance to the matter of 'retirement' and is looking forward to it.

Wang Li asked curiously, "Teacher, do demon hunters also have retirement age?" ”

Lao Ma said: "Of course, generally after the age of fifty, you will be in a state of retirement at any time when you are not energetic, of course, if you maintain a good state, you can continue to do it." ”

"I heard that those high-level demon hunters have already used psionic energy to improve their physical functions, and their lifespans can be extended a lot...... But it's too far away, too far away from us......"

The old horse said with a sigh.

Wang Li didn't respond, and sat quietly in the car, blinking with Hotaru and looking at the traffic outside.

"It's almost time, let's take your spirit attendant back into the spirit ring first...... There are many witchers in the branch, and casually revealing the spirit attendants will cause some trouble. ”

Wang Li obediently put Hotaru back into the spirit ring, and then waited for the old horse to drive the car into the underground parking lot of a shopping mall, and he was surprised afterwards: "Is the branch in the mall?" ”

Lao Ma shook his head and said, "What do you think, of course it's under the mall." ”

"The mall has two basement garages, but the council is on the third and fourth basement floors...... And the passage to enter is here, can you see if you can find it? ”

Wang Li looked left and right in surprise.

After a moment, he pointed to the sign above his head and said, "Is this it?" ”

It was a sign of unknown significance, with a circle drawn on it and an arrow pointing at it, and it was done.

But for ordinary people, they really don't know what the mark of the circle means, and of course, people who come to the mall to hang out don't care too much.

But if the witcher came, he would naturally be able to see the two equilateral triangles of the front and back overlapping each other looming in the circle.

Taken together, it's a six-pointed star!

Old Ma Haha smiled and said, "If you see it, let's go, I'll take you to a long time." ”

The two soon followed the arrows to a place where various construction waste was piled up.

It seems that there are all kinds of construction waste that were cleaned up after the mall was built, but in fact, it is just a trick.

In Wang Li's eyes, next to the pipe that was put up by a yard, he clearly saw a very clear six-pointed star pattern.

The old horse's eyes gestured and said, "Just inject spiritual power into it." ”

Wang Li did so.

The six-pointed star quickly lit up, and the six-pointed star was also matched with many small symbols that Wang Li couldn't understand...... It is these small symbols that give this six-pointed star a different effect.

Wang Li saw a curtain of light appear in front of him, so he raised his feet and walked in under the urging of the old horse......

In an instant, it was like a world away.

They came to an empty underground space...... It's like an underground palace.

Wang Li felt something was wrong as soon as he came in, and he shrugged his shoulders as if something bad had passed by.

Lao Ma also shuddered and said, "That's why I don't like to come to this place...... This was once a cultist relic, and although the troublesome things have long since been cleaned up, there is always some lingering breath. ”

"Legend has it that in the depths of the earth, some of the limbs of the evil god are actually sealed!"

"When the Demon Hunting Council found out about this, it could only clean up the cultists of the evil god here, and there was nothing they could do about some of the members of the evil god, so they simply established a branch here to suppress it."

"And the mall above us closes an hour earlier than the others...... It's because it's too late, and the evil qi here will overflow upwards and cause some damage to the mortal's body. ”

Wang Li asked curiously: "There must always be someone on duty in the mall that night, right?" ”

Lao Ma said: "Naturally, the council has sent night watchmen on duty...... Anyway, this shopping mall is also the property of the council, and the money earned is used to subsidize the administrative operation of the council. ”

And this kind of operation......

Wang Li listened to it and accepted it like this, there were not so many problems.

They took two steps in the dungeon and saw that many shops were opening their doors......

There are shops that sell all kinds of psionic equipment, shops that sell high-potential spirit services, and shops that sell various books and secret arts...... Of course, there are also some witchers who look more ordinary, and no one cares about setting up stalls here.

There isn't a lot of traffic here, and there aren't a few witchers hanging out here.

Wang Li could see that Lao Ma didn't look at those things with great restraint......

He said, "Teacher, you can go and have a look, I'll wait for you to get better......"

Lao Ma said with a resolute face: "No, I finally completed a big business, I'm afraid that if I walk here, I will lose all my living expenses for a month!" ”

Wang Li listened and lowered his head silently, and he didn't ask any more.

It seems that the level of consumption among the witchers is very high.

But there was one thing about this place that he found more comfortable.

That is, the witchers who come and go are all in a hurry, and they don't pay too much attention to others.

Wang Li felt accustomed to this indifferent environment.

He followed the old horse to a counter where several witchers were waiting to get errands.

Seeing this, Lao Ma didn't talk nonsense, and took Wang Li to take a number on the number machine next to him.

He looked down and sighed, "Okay, we'll have to wait about an hour, you can walk around...... I recommend checking out the bookstore over there, where you can learn some of the basics of witchers through books. ”

Wang Li was as good as a stream, and after saying goodbye to Lao Ma, he turned around and went back to the location of the bookstore that he had long fancied...... This advice is really what he wants, and he is also very good at absorbing knowledge from books.

This is the kind of basic knowledge that should be taught by teachers, right?

Wang Qian had some complaints, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only read the book by himself.

……

The contents of this bookstore are really complete, but they are really expensive!

What you see when you enter the door are some basic combat skills, and the cheapest price is 3,000 dragon coins...... For Wang Li, who had just earned 4,000 dragon coins, it was really daunting.

Looking further back, some advanced and high-level combat skills started at least 10,000 dragon coins, which was not something he should be thinking about now at all.

The clerk saw that he was shy and the identity of the newcomer, and kindly pointed to the row of shelves inside......

The books there are indeed cheaper, but they are all the basics of the basics, and they belong to the apprentice's primer.

But Wang Li was like a treasure in this, and directly stepped forward to choose a copy of "Overview of Spiritual Energy" and a copy of "Take Care of Your Spiritual Servant...... As a result, when the price is calculated, the two books alone add up to a price of 3,100 dragon coins.

Among them, the "Overview of Psionic Energy" is 1,300 dragon coins, and the thick "Take Care of Your Spiritual Servants" is worth 1,800 dragon coins, which introduces many types of spiritual services.

Wang Li, who was full of longing and wanted to change his mother's house, suffered a blow from reality in an instant...... It seemed that becoming a witcher was far more expensive than he thought.

He came to the counter with two books in his arms and said, "Can you ...... Can it be cheaper......"

The high price of the book made him want to try his skills at something he wasn't familiar with.

But his skills are obviously not qualified.

The clerk saw through him and said, "Young man, you must know that knowledge is priceless. ”

Wang Li immediately retracted his words, and then honestly paid all the money.

It's good to earn 900 dragon coins a day...... Anyway, he didn't dare to continue to talk and negotiate with people.
