Chapter 37

The highest level of demon beasts at the foot of the mountain in the catacombs was only a low-level great demon beast. For Hughes, it was not challenging at all.

It was also because elemental mages could not hunt demon beasts at the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, for the entire day, he was basically guiding Otis in actual combat training. He did not hunt demon beasts to obtain mana points.

At seven o’clock in the evening, a large number of mages lined up at the entrance of the catacombs, waiting to leave.

Hughes and Otis were also in line.

Not long after, it was their turn to go through an inspection.

“Eh, why didn’t You hunt demon beasts today?”

The staff at the door looked at Hughes’ empty backpack and asked curiously.

In the past, Hughes’s backpack was filled with magic cores and essence crystals.

“Today, I’m mainly here to guide my roommate’s training, so I didn’t do anything.”

Hughes explained with a smile.

“So that’s how it is.”

The worker came to a realization and let Hughes leave.

“It’s my turn, it’s my turn.”

Otis excitedly took out the demon cores from his backpack and placed them on the testing table.

“Two intermediate-grade low-grade fire element magic cores.” The staff member who had finished testing smiled and said, “The type and level of these two magic cores have been registered in your system. When the time comes, you can directly use the magic cores to submit the mission.”

“Yes, yes. Thank you.” Otis nodded his head with some excitement.

Before going to the underground world, he had learned a lot of things about going to the catacombs on the school forum.

Among them, it was specifically mentioned that it was very normal for mages who entered the catacombs for the first time to not gain anything.

Usually, they had to overcome their fear of demon beasts three or four times before they would gain something.

And under the guidance of Hughes, he actually killed an intermediate low-level gale wolf and an intermediate low-level iron-skinned pig on his first time entering the catacombs!

Although the levels of the demon beasts were lower than his true level, he was already very satisfied with this harvest!

“Big brother Hughes, let’s go, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Otis said with a smile as he walked out of the exit.

If it weren’t for Hughes, he would probably have to wait for three to four months before he could kill the demon beasts.

“Mm, let’s go.”

Hughes smiled and did not refuse.

…

It was already ten o’clock in the evening after the meal.

After leaving the restaurant, Hughes and Otis didn’t wander around. Instead, they directly returned to villa 213.

“Boss Hughes, are we still going to the catacombs tomorrow?” In the living room, Otis asked expectantly.

“No, I have something to do tomorrow, so I can’t accompany you.” Hughes shook his head. “But after today’s guidance, it should be much easier for you to kill demon beasts in the future, right?”

“Of course. The guidance of big brother Hughes is not for show.” Otis quickly said.

The most difficult part of killing a demon beast was doing it the first time.

And today, Hughes had helped him to cross this threshold. After that, he thought that it was much easier to kill demon beasts alone.

“That’s good.” Hughes chuckled and then returned to the second floor.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Hughes sat down on the chair and began to think about the arrangements.

“The power of the light tornado has already been tested today. According to the power that can instantly kill an intermediate level great demon beast, the earth ring grizzly bear, even if I encounter a higher level great demon beast, I have the confidence to kill it.

“If that’s the case, my safety outside San Pedro City will also increase by a lot.

“Hmm, it’s time to upgrade my equipment and prepare to go outside San Pedro City.”

After becoming an elemental mage, he had been focusing on the construction and cultivation of the light tornado. He never had the time to buy new armor and equipment.

Now that he was preparing to go outside San Pedro city, his equipment would definitely need to be upgraded.

Hughes took out his phone from his bag and logged into the special app of the Lach Academy of Magic.

Student number: 2031012

Name: Hughes

Credits: 2600

Looking at the numbers behind the credits of the system, a happy smile appeared on Hughes’ face.

In the past twenty days, he had killed at least 200 demon beasts!

When he submitted the mission materials, the credits he earned from completing the missions soared to 2600 points!

If this was converted into US dollars, it would be 2.6 million US dollars!

“Just nice, with so many credits, I don’t need to use the money in my bank card to buy equipment.”

Hughes opened the shopping interface in the app and began to look for the equipment he needed.

“Light elemental mage battle uniform, two bottles of elemental mage mana recovery potions, and two bottles of spiritual energy recovery potions.”

Hughes added the equipment into the shopping cart one by one.

“Oh right, I also need a backpack that can store demon beast eggs, and a demon beast bag that can store demon beasts.”

Hughes swiped his finger and added two more items into the shopping cart.

“Hmm? There are spatial pockets in the mall?”

All of a sudden, Hughes saw gorgeous spatial pockets on the shop’s interface.

Among them, the cheapest one cost 25,000 credits. Converted into US dollars, it was around 25 million dollars!

“Isn’t this too expensive?”

Hughes shook his head.

Although he was very interested in spatial pockets, such a terrifying price was something he dare not even think about at the moment.

After exiting the app’s sales interface, when Hughes was about to pay the bill, he suddenly realized that the number behind the bill was actually showing 2,400 credits or 2,400,000 US dollars.

“Ugh, is an elementalist’s equipment that expensive?”

Hughes quickly looked at the price tag in the shopping cart.

“An elementalist combat suit for 500,000, an Elementalist’s spirit recovery potion for 500,000, and a potion for 400,000. It’s very normal.”

Hughes was a little puzzled. Suddenly, he noticed the demon beast pouch in the last column, ‘1,000,000 for a large demon beast pouch’.

“Is a large demon beast pouch that expensive?”

Hughes could not help but click his tongue.

According to the information he found on the Internet, the purple thunder fire lion was an intermediate large demon beast when it was born.

Therefore, he bought a large demon beast pouch. He did not expect that this large demon beast pouch would be so expensive!

“After buying these equipment, I only have 200 credits left.”

Although the demonic beast pouch was very expensive, after a moment of surprise, Hughes still clicked on the checkout option.

After all, if the purple thunder fire lion hatched outside San Pedro city, it would be too ostentatious if he didn’t use the demonic beast pouch to store it.
