Back in his dilapidated house in the suburbs, Su Chen closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and eagerly activated the system in his mind.
"System, open the storage space!"
Following Su Chen's command, a semi-transparent virtual panel that only he could see appeared before his eyes.
In the most prominent slots on the panel, six energy bodies, emitting a deep blue light and resembling the purest sapphires, floated silently.
Those were six complete servant-level spirit essences!
Looking at the six spirits, Su Chen couldn't help but let out a wild, cackling laugh in the quiet room.
"Fanzi, oh Fanzi, you really are my lucky charm, my living god of wealth!"
For the past two weeks, Su Chen has been taking Mo Fan on missions. Although they've only been killing the most pathetic giant-eyed blood rats, Mo Fan's protagonist aura is just too overpowered!
Following him, Mo Fan actually managed to extract two complete spirits from a pile of rats in just fourteen days!
This triggered the system's incredible double return function.
When Mo Fan unleashed his first essence, the system immediately gave Su Chen two.
The night before last, Mo Fan was incredibly lucky to obtain a second essence, and the system once again copied two of them without hesitation and stuffed them into Su Chen's pocket.
He now holds six complete Giant-Eyed Blood Rat Essences in his hand!
"We've struck it rich! This time we've really struck it rich!"
Su Chen rubbed his hands together and began to plan in his mind.
As the lowest-ranking servant-level demon, the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat's essence has a relatively low market value. The essence of a ferocious demon like the One-Eyed Demon Wolf can sell for five or even six million. However, the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat's essence, due to its relatively low energy quality, generally only fetches around four million.
"The essence of six giant-eyed, bloody rats, six times four... twenty-four million!"
"Adding to the 11.5 million that was originally in this bank card..."
Su Chen took out his phone, glanced at the numbers on the calculator, and his breathing instantly became heavy.
Thirty-five million five hundred thousand!
More than 35 million in cash flow! In a small place like Bocheng, that's definitely a huge sum of money!
"With this money, my plan can finally be put on the agenda." Su Chen's eyes gleamed with excitement.
He is now a mid-level level one lightning mage. Although with the system's support, he can cast star trails with a thought, making casting basic spells as easy as drinking water, and even casting mid-level thunderbolts within three seconds.
But that's not enough!
If a lightning mage wants to truly differentiate themselves from other mages in the mid-level and possess world-destroying dominance, they must possess one thing: a spirit seed!
Elemental spirit seeds nurtured by heaven and earth can not only multiply the power of magic, but also come with a variety of extremely powerful special effects.
An ordinary lightning-type spirit seed can roughly double the power, and its market price is between 20 million and 25 million.
A top-quality lightning-type spirit seed can not only increase power by two and a half to three times, but its accompanying special effects can also give a mage a qualitative leap in combat power!
Such top-grade spiritual seeds are extremely rare and highly sought after, with prices exceeding 30 million, and often there is no market for them!
"Bo City is too small; the Hunter's Alliance and the Magic Association's branches simply cannot possibly sell top-grade lightning-type spirit seeds..."
Su Chen stroked his chin, his gaze drifting northwards out the window.
"If you want to buy top-grade spirit seeds, you have to go to a big city. Shanghai! It has the largest magic auction house in the country, and the top-tier Hunter's Alliance. With money, what good stuff can't you buy?"
After making up his mind, Su Chen had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, at Tianlan Magic High School.
In the homeroom teacher's office of Class 8, Grade 1, Xue Musheng was wearing reading glasses and frowning as he graded the students' magic theory test papers.
"Knock knock knock".
A knock came at the door.
"Go in," Xue Musheng said without looking up.
The door was pushed open, and Su Chen, dressed in a neat school uniform with an innocent and well-behaved smile on his face, walked to Xue Musheng's desk.
"Teacher Xue, are you busy?" Su Chen greeted her with a smile.
Xue Musheng looked up and saw that it was Su Chen. His tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and he even showed a mix of relief and helplessness.
Ever since Su Chen's S+ score during the annual assessment, which nearly caused the Star Sense Stone to explode, shocked the entire school, Xue Musheng's attitude towards Su Chen has undergone a complete 180-degree turn.
He no longer thought of Su Chen as a good-for-nothing who slept in class, but instead believed that Su Chen was a peerless genius who would make a name for himself when he finally did!
He's a super genius who likes to play dumb to outsmart others and secretly work hard to improve his skills!
Even Su Chen sleeping in class was seen by Xue Musheng as a reasonable behavior of needing to recover his mental energy through sleep due to excessive meditation.
"Oh, it's Su Chen. What's wrong? Have you encountered some bottleneck in your cultivation? Just tell your teacher. The school is paying close attention to you now. If you need any resources, I'll even risk my reputation to apply to the principal!" Xue Musheng put down his red pen, his tone so kind that it gave people goosebumps.
Su Chen was a little embarrassed by Xue Musheng's enthusiastic attitude. He coughed twice, rubbed his hands, and said, "Ahem, well... Teacher Xue, I'm fine with my cultivation. It's just... I have some urgent matters at home recently, and I'd like to ask you for leave."
"Take a day off? No problem!" Xue Musheng waved his hand readily. "Even geniuses need rest. It's important to balance work and rest. Tell me, half a day or a full day? Go back and get a good night's sleep to recharge."
"Uh...not just for a day." Su Chen held up one finger somewhat guiltily. "Teacher Xue, I'd like to ask...for a month."
"Snapped!"
Xue Musheng dropped the red pen from his hand onto the table. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at Su Chen as if he were an alien, his voice rising an octave: "How much?! A month?!"
"Yes, a month." Su Chen nodded with a forced smile. "I need to go to Shanghai to handle some very important personal matters. The round trip and the time spent on the business will take about a month."
"No! Absolutely not! Don't even think about it!"
Without a second thought, Xue Musheng jumped up from his chair, shaking his head vigorously, his refusal firm and resolute.
"Teacher Xue, I really have something urgent to attend to..." Su Chen still wanted to try and get his way.
"Even if the sky falls, it won't work!" Xue Musheng paced anxiously behind his desk, pointing at Su Chen's nose and earnestly reprimanding him, "Su Chen, Su Chen, do you know what time it is? Do you know what you'll be facing next month?!"
