Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 37 Employment Guide for Space Mages

"Hehe, sister, you didn't come here for this useless pendant, did you? What instructions do you have? I promise I'll complete the mission." Su Ming rubbed his hands together, looking like a sycophant.

Xiaoqing felt a little guilty after seeing this, and kept ringing her bell.

"Go, go copy the Three Hundred Tang Poems three hundred times, and I'll check them for you tomorrow morning." Su Ming flicked Xiao Qing on the forehead and tossed him back into the bedroom.

Ring ring ring...

Xiao Qing protested, but in the end, she didn't run out; instead, she returned to the summoning plane.

The little baby doesn't understand the Three Hundred Tang Poems, doesn't understand.

"I still prefer your previous self, the way you came up and tried to crush me with magic right away. That confident look was a big plus," Jiuyouhou joked.

"Hehe, sister, don't joke around. I was just preparing to use magic to massage you." Su Ming chuckled twice.

"Then you can give me a massage." With that, Jiuyou leaned back on the sofa, unbuttoned her clothes and pulled them down a little to reveal her jade-like shoulders, and smiled.

Su Ming felt his heart was a little unsettled. This was a ghost! A ghost! He slapped himself across the face, and in less than two seconds, a bright red handprint appeared on his face, leaving Jiu You Hou stunned.

Su Ming felt he could write a "Spatial Mage Job Guide".

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you." Suddenly, the space trembled, and Jiuyou returned to her original appearance, saying, "I came here to see this pendant, but now it doesn't seem to have anything special about it. Of course, it's probably because my magic power is too weak to see anything special."

"Sister, you are a great demon. If you are a minor demon, then there are no great demons in the world." Su Ming immediately flattered her, but unfortunately, he didn't flatter the right person.

"Don't interrupt."

"Oh." After being told that, Su Ming stood obediently to the side and didn't say anything more.

"I was just about to take a quick look and leave, but I was quite surprised that you broke through the illusion. Creating the illusion took a lot of my effort, and normally I could get it back from you, but since you broke it, I can't get it back. You have to compensate me."

Su Ming swallowed hard, his mouth dry, and asked, "How will you compensate me?"

Su Ming was now terrified that Jiu You Hou would drain him dry. Sure enough, Jiang Shaoxu was right. Ancient Capital was dangerous, not only because of the undead, but also because these ghosts were like demons.

After looking him over, Jiuyou said, "Judging from your appearance, you're just a mid-level mage. I can't count on you to find the thousand-year-old undead crystal. Just get me some hundred-year-old ones."

Undead Crystals—Su Ming knew about these things. The ancient capital had the most Undead Crystals. These things were differentiated by age; those over 500 years old were only found by Corpse Minister level undead, while those under 500 years old were found by Corpse General level undead.

There are two standards for the age of undead crystals. For example, if you are a minor undead who has lived for three hundred years, the undead crystals contained in your body will be three hundred years old. There is also the Corpse General, which is a warrior-level undead. The crystals in the body of this kind of undead will be between one hundred and five hundred years old.

To get Undead Crystals, you either have to kill undead or buy them. Buying them is definitely out of the question, they're ridiculously expensive, so you have to kill them.

Killing undead is manageable, but he can barely kill warrior-level ones by sneaking up on them after he learns intermediate-level magic. Xiao Qing is currently in her infancy, but her strength will increase exponentially when she reaches childhood, at which point she will be able to kill that group of corpse generals.

"No problem, I'll definitely bring you a bunch of undead crystals as a tribute, sister." Su Ming readily agreed.

"Wait, I'm not in a rush. You should refine your intermediate-level magic first, and then let your little one advance. I don't want the crystals from those filthy undead outside. You'll have to go to the Tomb of the Dead to find them. I've already located a few places. You can just go there and get a few back." Jiuyouhou said casually.

Su Ming was not at ease. Go to the Tomb of the Dead? What a joke! That place was not for humans. The Tomb of the Dead was deep in the Land of the Dead. Going there was simply courting death, let alone killing corpse generals and taking crystals.

"Um... Sister..."

"Stop haggling, just focus on your cultivation and get me the crystals, or I'll devour you right now. A mid-level mage's return isn't much, but it's not insignificant either," Jiuyou interrupted Su Ming.

Do we really have to go to the Tomb of the Dead?

No way, I absolutely refuse to go. I'm moving out tomorrow, abandoning everything here, and heading to the inner city. I'll stay a few nights at the hotel next to the Magic Association to ward off evil spirits.

Let's talk about it tomorrow. Right now, Jiuyou is still here, and I need to keep her calm. If she has spies here, I'll be finished as soon as I leave.

I won't need to come back after I go out tomorrow, yes, that's what I'll do.

"No problem, I guarantee I'll complete the mission." Su Ming readily agreed. Since he was going to run away anyway, he had to agree even if it meant killing the Lord of the Dead later.

"Then work hard." Jiuyouhou encouraged her. She ran here from the Land of the Dead because of this pendant. Unfortunately, this pendant is just an ordinary soul-cultivation vessel with nothing special about it. She had to damage her foundation for it and hadn't moved for thousands of years. Now she couldn't lie back down for a while.

They might as well just stay in this human society and play around. The king has been unable to wake up, and they have all fallen into a deep sleep as well. They have no idea how far magic has developed over the past few thousand years.

The Queen of the Nine Netherworlds is a ghost. The moment she appeared, she had already corrupted others, including Su Ming. Their memories are known to the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds, just like in the movie, but to understand them, they still need to go there in person.

These people are too weak and know too little about this world. We need to find some powerful magicians so that their memories can be useful.

Jiuyou then vanished in a flash.

Su Ming only relaxed his tense nerves after Jiu You disappeared.

He took out his phone and searched for "Nine Netherworlds," but all he got were unavailable results.

He threw away his phone, not expecting to find any information about such a terrifying ghost online.

After the Nine Netherworlds, what level of demon is this guy?

It's impossible for a warrior-level being to nullify his magic. A commander? Or perhaps a ghost king, a monarch-level world-destroying demon?

Su Ming felt that even the commander level was not high enough to match the prestige of the Nine Netherworld Queen; it had to be a monarch, a ghost monarch.

That's terrifying! The appearance of a demon of this level would be a city-destroying crisis. How did he manage to encounter it, and in such an inconspicuous rented room no less?

The middle-aged landlord was right; this place is haunted and uninhabitable.

Su Ming spent the night in meditation. Xingzi's control remained unchanged. Although he was meditating, he was clearly distracted, constantly thinking about Jiuyou's affairs, fearing that she might launch a surprise attack and kill him.

As soon as it was dawn, Su Ming got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and went straight downstairs, looking around nervously as he went, afraid of suddenly encountering Jiu Youhou.

He looked like a criminal, and unsurprisingly, he was questioned by people after a while.

After much effort to explain, Su Ming headed straight into the inner city, intending not to leave for the time being.

Walking on the streets of the inner city, Su Ming still felt unsafe. Between the Magic Association and the Hunter's Alliance, he chose the Magic Association, as it was safer there.

The magic association in the ancient capital is called the Clock Tower Magic Association. It is located on the tallest building in the ancient capital, but it is not inside the clock tower. It is just called the Clock Tower Magic Association.

The Clock Tower Magic Association is very wealthy; the tallest building in this ancient capital belongs to them. Upon entering the Magic Association, Su Ming felt completely relaxed.

I'm not leaving. I'll stay at the Magic Association today and not go anywhere else.

The headquarters of the Clock Tower Magic Association is much more impressive than that of the Hunter's Alliance.

It's not the buildings, but the atmosphere. The Hunter's Alliance is a place where people live on the edge, constantly dealing with demons in the wild. Some commissions have a priority order, and the employer only takes the first person's item. Therefore, many hunters rush to the Hunter's Alliance headquarters after completing their commissions in the wild. In addition, the demons in the ancient capital are undead, which makes the place seem very chaotic.

The Magic Association is different. Most of the magicians here have a high-class image and are glamorous. Although they are not exactly pampered, they are much better off than hunters.

Hunters are a mixed bag, but the Magic Association is much better. Even if people here are usually arrogant and domineering, they will behave like students once they enter the Magic Association.

After all, the Hunter's Alliance doesn't care about you, but the Magic Association is different. This organization exists to maintain social order. If you dare to act arrogantly in the Magic Association, you'll be subdued and thrown into jail in no time.

However, the higher-ups in both the Magic Association and the Hunter's Alliance are quite similar, wielding considerable power.

The same goes for the powerful mages who reside there permanently.

Normal people would think of the Hunter's Alliance, since most of the high-ranking members of the Hunter's Alliance are hunters, while the high-ranking members of the Magic Association may not have the same fighting spirit as hunters.

But Su Ming chose the Magic Association.

It's said online that Han Ji, the top martial arts expert in the ancient capital, has been stationed at the Magic Association for a long time.
