MMB Chapter 3 Detective Mo Fan
Chapter 3 Detective Mo Fan
Not to brag, Mo Fan believed he had all the qualities to become a "super detective," and the kind with a 100% case-solving rate.
Of course, Mo Fan will still do his best to punish evil and promote good.
Having made up his mind, Mo Fan headed towards Mingwen Girls' Middle School. Old Mo's house had been mortgaged to Mu He. Old Mo usually slept in his car, while Mo Fan lived at the school. He could also stay at the school during holidays, but he would have to take care of his own meals.
Xin Xia stayed at Mo Fan's aunt's place. At this time, the relationship between Mo Fan and Xin Xia had not changed and was still mostly familial. Mo Fan was not the kind of person whose mind was full of women, and fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls did not have much attraction for him.
He still prefers young women, and to emphasize, not married women, but mature young women. In any dimension, none of his ancestors had the surname Cao.
After a few days of friendly conversation with Xin Xia, the two chatted about some interesting things from their respective schools. Mo Fan then left his aunt's house. His time was very precious; he couldn't afford to waste a single minute of his eighteen departments.
There's still over a month of holiday left, so we can't just sit around doing nothing. Some fighting can also increase the growth rate of Stardust. The first-tier level three magic of the Necromancer class is to create a Necromancer space, which can be used to train some elite minions.
Even among servant-level skeletons, there are differences in strength, and the materials used to construct a skeleton can determine its true power.
Mo Fan first went to the Hunter Alliance branch in Bo City and registered a junior hunter identity under the name Fan Mo. Fan Mo, junior hunter, cultivation level 1 of the initial stage of lightning. This is Mo Fan's hunter identity information.
After accepting the simplest herb-gathering task, Mo Fan left Bo City. He needed a reason to leave Anjie. The task he accepted was to gather fifty Moonflower Grasses outside the edge of Anjie. This task was worth five points and had a reward of ten thousand.
It's a very ordinary herb-gathering quest, issued by the Magic Association of Bo City. There are very few demons in the area where Moonflower Grass grows, and you might occasionally encounter one or two servant-level demons, who are generally not very strong.
It's important to know that a servant-level demon often requires a team of novice mages to deal with. Among the novice mages, only lightning, fire, and ice mages have some offensive power; the other mages are mainly for support.
Mages are fragile and can be injured or killed if they are touched by a slightly stronger servant-level demon. So don't be careless just because it's a simple herb-gathering task. Many novice mages are only slightly stronger than ordinary people, that's all.
However, Mo Fan didn't need to worry about these things. At most, he would encounter a demon general in this area, and the Glazed Phoenix Feather would be enough to protect him and help him escape. Commander-level demons would only treat him like dirt and wouldn't pay him any attention.
Following the route on the map provided by the Hunter Alliance, Mo Fan quickly arrived at a place where Moonflower Grass grew in abundance, near a small pond, where only some Giant-Eyed Blood Rats were active.
The one-eyed wolf is a carnivore, so it won't come to this grassy area. Moonflower grass has no effect on either the one-eyed wolf or the giant-eyed rat, making this a very safe place for the first battle.
Mo Fan did not find any trace of demons along the way. He was very cautious. After entering the demons' territory, he used necromancy to summon four skeletons around him.
Four skeletons moved around Mo Fan underground, ensuring that he wouldn't be ambushed by the giant-eyed rats. Not all undead are slow; the four skeletons Mo Fan summoned were quite agile.
As they approached the Moonflower Grass's growing spot, a giant-eyed rat taking a nap on the ground was discovered by a skeleton. With a flick of its white bone claws, the giant-eyed rat, less than a meter long, was sent flying into the air.
Just as he landed on the ground and before he could figure out what was happening, two humanoid skeletons pounced on him and pinned him to the ground. Only then did Mo Fan walk up to the giant-eyed rat that was being held down.
Mo Fan wasn't prepared to fight the demons one-on-one; why fight one-on-one when you can gang up on them?
"Poor little mouse, don't blame me for being uncivilized. It's just that I'm a bit nervous since it's my first time hunting a demon. It's not unreasonable for a necromancer like me to ask a few skeletons for help, is it?"
As Mo Fan spoke, the lightning-type star track in his hand quickly connected. The giant-eyed rat that was being held down made a very unpleasant sound. Mo Fan couldn't understand it, but he could guess that the giant-eyed rat was cursing. He hadn't touched the mind-type stardust yet, as the initial-level mind-type stardust wasn't very useful.
"Let's get going!"
"Thunder Mark - Python Mark!"
Purple star trails flashed in Mo Fan's hand, and a giant purple lightning python streaked across the air, accurately hitting the giant-eyed rat's huge single eye. The giant-eyed rat, which was being held down by two skeletons, was unable to move.
He could only watch helplessly as he was struck by lightning. For a moment, the giant-eyed rat seemed to see his own tofu pudding. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and two humanoid skeletons stomped on him twice to make sure he was really dead.
"Looks like it's dead!" Mo Fan casually stepped on the giant-eyed rat's corpse. He had been very nervous just now, but now he felt much more at ease. A dead giant-eyed rat is a good rat.
Based on the knowledge of demons he learned from the Hunter Alliance, Mo Fan collected the usable materials from the giant-eyed rat's corpse. He also didn't waste the giant-eyed rat's corpse that he couldn't take with him, using it to test the power of his lightning magic.
After several tests, Mo Fan's current level 1 initial lightning seal cannot directly penetrate the body of the giant-eyed blood rat; at most, it can only make a small hole. If he does not directly attack the giant-eyed blood rat's single eye, it would take two to three level 1 initial lightning seals to kill an ordinary slave-level giant-eyed blood rat.
Without the blessing of elemental species, the power of magic is indeed low. After a series of experiments, Mo Fan's lightning magic energy was also exhausted. After quickly collecting fifty Moonflower Grasses, Mo Fan returned to Bo City.
To be cautious, Mo Fan did not attack any demons when returning to the city. Only when he was about to enter the safe zone did he have four skeletons gang up on and kill a giant-eyed rat.
After selling the limited amount of demon materials to the Hunter Alliance, Mo Fan returned to the school, and his first demon-hunting operation went very smoothly.
The herb-gathering task yielded five points, a reward of ten thousand yuan, materials from two Giant-Eyed Blood Rat worth fifty thousand yuan, plus two Giant-Eyed Blood Rat remnants, which were worthless and were absorbed by the little mudfish.
The little mudskipper only trembled twice in response to the slave-level remnant soul that was not even enough for two teeth gaps, which was considered giving Mo Fan face.
Sixty thousand yuan is a huge sum for an ordinary person, requiring a long time to save up. However, for a mage, it's not even enough to buy the most basic magical tool. This money seems to come easily to Mo Fan, but it's important to understand that Mo Fan's four undead skeletons are more useful than a squad of beginner mages.
Their combat power was even stronger than that of an ordinary low-level mage squad. In the month or so until the start of the semester, Mo Fan went out five times, earning a total of 25 points and 280,000 yuan. Because of the healing effect of the Horse Talisman, this 280,000 yuan was pure profit.
