witcher of light

Chapter 8 First Income

The old horse calmed down, tidied himself up to make him look less embarrassed, and then walked ahead to face the interrogation of those women.

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

He didn't mean to intervene at all, he just watched Yingying intently, watching her 'charging' lit up in his arms...

In fact, for Yingying, it is charging, but for Wang Li, is it not a kind of improvement?

He was born with abnormal mental strength, growing rapidly and no one taught him to untangle and control it in a timely manner. Now even if he wants to try to control it by himself, it is very difficult...but his ability to adjust his mentality has reached the top level.

Now he gives this extra 'burden' to Yingying, the more he gives, the better he can control his mental power... He hasn't tried the feeling of 'focus' for a long, long time.

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

Wang Li knew that it might take some time.

The weather was already hot, and there was no air conditioner in Lao Ma's dilapidated pickup truck, so it was unbearably hot and stuffy to stay inside.

Fortunately, Yingying noticed her owner's discomfort, and naturally released some cool moisture... This made the truck cool down all of a sudden.

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

"I'm so lucky to have you."

He praised happily.

And Yingying is also very happy because of this, very happy.

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

"Sigh~"

He sighed comfortably while sitting in the car. He had already broken out in sweat after talking with the lady outside for a while.

The weather in the south is so helpless.

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

He took out a thick wad of money from his pocket... These are all dragon coins with the largest denomination value of 200!
In Youlong Kingdom, such a large denomination cannot be used for normal consumption... It seems that this lady is still very famous.

The old horse licked his fingers and counted twenty dragon coins for Wang Li and said, "This time the guest is very satisfied, because you cleaned the basement as well, so I gave some more."

Wang Li was not polite, and reached out to take the money... A total of [-] dragon coins, just less than half a day's income!

It would be great if he could have this kind of income every day... Then he can take Jiang Li and move to a bigger house soon.

"Thank you, teacher!"

He sincerely thanks.

The result made the old horse blush.

To be honest, today's mission was mainly completed by Wang Li's spirit attendant.

As a guide, he, the 'senior witcher', seemed rather embarrassed.

But Wang Li not only did not have any doubts about the method of the money, but also expressed his thanks so sincerely... This made him feel wronged.

But after all, he was a 'senior witcher', so he had a thick skin and just let it go.

He said: "Anyway, it's still early, I'll take you to the branch to register as an apprentice first."

"After all, only if you officially become an apprentice under my name, will you be eligible to inherit everything I have as a demon hunter after I retire."

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

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

Lao Ma said: "Of course, after the age of 50, you can retire at any time if you lose energy. Of course, if you maintain a good state, you can naturally continue to do it."

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

The old horse said with a sigh.

Wang Li didn't respond, and sat quietly in the car, blinking and watching the busy traffic outside with Yingying.

"It's almost here, take your spirit servant back into the spirit ring first... There are many demon hunters haunting here in the branch, and showing the spirit servant at will will cause certain troubles to people."

Wang Li put Ying back into the spirit ring obediently, and then waited for the old horse to drive the car into the underground parking lot of a shopping mall. He was bewildered and surprised: "So the branch is in the shopping mall?"

The old horse shook his head and said, "What are you thinking, of course it's under the mall."

"This shopping mall has a two-story basement garage, but the council is on the third and fourth floors...and the access is here. Can you find it?"

Wang Li looked around in surprise.

After a while, he pointed to the sign above his head and said, "Is this the one?"

It was a sign of unknown meaning, with a circle drawn on it and an arrow pointing to it.

But ordinary people really don't know what the circle marks mean, and of course people who come to the mall don't care too much.

But if the demon hunter came, he would naturally be able to see two overlapping equilateral triangles looming in the circle.

Taken together, this is a six-pointed star!

The old horse laughed and said, "Let's go when you see it. I'll take you there to learn more."

The two soon followed the arrow to a place where various construction wastes were piled up.

It seems that there are all kinds of construction waste that have been cleaned up after the completion of the mall, but in fact it is just a blindfold.

In Wang Li's eyes, he clearly saw a very clear hexagram next to a stack of pipes.

The old horse gestured with his eyes and said, "It's good to inject spiritual power into it."

Wang Li did so.

The hexagram lit up quickly, and the hexagram pattern was matched with many small symbols that Wang Li couldn't understand... It was these small symbols that brought a different effect to the hexagram.

Wang Li saw a light curtain appearing in front of him, and he walked in under the urging of the old horse...

In an instant, it seemed like a world away.

They came to an empty underground space... a place like an underground palace.

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

The old horse also shivered and said: "That's why I don't like coming to this place... This place used to be a relic of a cultist. Although all the troublesome things have been cleaned up, there are always some lingering things. Scattered breath exists."

"Legend, in the deeper part of the ground, part of the body of the evil god is actually sealed!"

"When the Demon Hunting Council discovered this place, they could only clean up the believers of the evil god here, but had no way to deal with some of the evil god's limbs, so they simply established a branch here to suppress it."

"And the shopping mall above our head closes an hour earlier than other shopping malls... It's because if it's too late, the evil spirit here will overflow upwards and cause certain damage to the body of ordinary people."

Wang Li asked curiously: "Then there must be someone on duty in the mall at night, right?"

Lao Ma said: "Of course the council 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...

After hearing this, Wang Li accepted it like this, without so many questions.

They walked two steps in this underground palace, and saw many shops on both sides are opening for business...

Shops selling all kinds of psionic equipment, shops selling high-potential spirit servants, and shops selling various books and secret skills...Of course, there are also some ordinary-looking demon hunters who set up stalls here and no one cares. .

The traffic here is not high, and there are not many witchers hanging out here.

Wang Li could see that the old horse did not look at those things because of his strong restraint...

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

Instead, the old horse said firmly: "No, I finally completed a big deal. I'm afraid I'll lose a month's living expenses by shopping here!"

After hearing this, Wang Li silently lowered his head and didn't ask any more questions.

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

But there was one thing about this place that made him feel more comfortable.

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

Wang Li felt comfortable with this indifferent environment.

He followed the old horse to a counter where several demon hunters were waiting to do business.

Lao Ma didn't talk nonsense when he saw this, and took Wang Li to get a number from the number machine next to him.

He looked down and sighed secretly: "Okay, we have to wait for about an hour, you can go shopping around... I suggest you go to the bookstore over there, you can learn something about witchers through books. Basics."

Wang Li followed good advice, and after bidding farewell to the old horse, he turned around and went back to the bookstore that he had set his sights on for a long time... This suggestion really fit his heart, and he was also very good at absorbing knowledge from books.

Is this kind of basic knowledge should be taught by the teacher?

Wang Li made some complaints inwardly, but he didn't dare to speak out, so he could only read the book by himself in a dull mood.

……

The content of this bookstore is really complete, but it is really expensive!

What you see when you enter the door are some basic combat skills, and the cheapest one costs 3000 dragon coins... For Wang Li who just earned 4000 dragon coins, it is really daunting.

Looking back, some advanced combat skills and high-level combat skills are at least starting with 1 dragon coins, which is not something he should consider now.

Probably the clerk saw his lack of money and his identity as a newcomer, so he kindly pointed to a row of shelves inside...

The books there are indeed cheap, but they are all the basics of the basics, which are introductory books for apprentices.

But Wang Li felt like he had found a treasure, so he went straight up and picked out a copy of "Psychic Power Overview" and "Take Care of Your Spirit Servant"... After calculating the price, the combined cost of these two books was 3100. The price of dragon coins.

Among them, "Psychic Overview" costs 1300 dragon coins, and the thick and large volume "Take Care of Your Spirit Servant" is worth 1800 dragon coins, which introduces many types of spirit servants by category.

Wang Li, who was full of longing and wanted to change his mother's house, was hit by reality in an instant... It seems that becoming a demon hunter is far more expensive than he imagined.

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

The expensive book prices made him want to try skills he was not familiar with.

But his skill is obviously not qualified.

The clerk saw right through him and said, "Young man, you have to know that knowledge is priceless."

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

Earning 900 dragon coins a day is not bad... Anyway, he dare not continue to talk and negotiate with others.
