A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 240 Jayce and Jinx

"Knock knock knock".

As the bells rang, it was a new day.

Jess was very happy; he had crafted his weapon, a warhammer.

After much deliberation, he finally listened to Jiang Shuzhou's advice.

"grown ups."

"War Blacksmith, sir."

The gang members around him greeted the second-in-command. Although Jiang Shuzhou had been in seclusion and researching, and had not been involved in worldly affairs, he still assigned many tasks to the gang.

These missions were nothing more than seizing territory. During this time, Jess also took action several times to test the weapons, helping the Grey Templars seize a large piece of territory.

Are you going to Upper Town again this time?

"certainly."

Jess said with a smile.

He then took the makeshift elevator and disappeared into the upper city.

"Pioneers".

Respectful voices arose from the surroundings as Jiang Shuzhou followed Jess all the way here.

Jiang Shuzhou had just finished his research yesterday and was preparing to check on poor Jess, but he wasn't there.

That's not all; the real problem is that Jess actually brought back a huge amount of rare weapon parts and metals to the lab.

This infuriated Jiang Shuzhou. "I cobbled together the junk from the lower city, and you're taking the good stuff for yourself?"

Especially with his beaming eyes and joyful face, it's clear he's either buying or selling.

Jiang Shuzhou seriously suspected that this guy was doing something shady.

So today, since Jess has arrived, Jiang Shuzhou plans to follow him all the way.

If it's just stealing or robbing, that's one thing, but what if he tries to betray Jiang Shuzhou...

Thinking of this, Jiang Shuzhou's face turned icy cold. Let alone a colleague, even if it were his own brother, Jiang Shuzhou could kill him without any scruples.

That's a profit share from an entire world. Even if this world is just average, the profit generated would still be at least several thousand magic stones. After all, the value of the plane's will alone is worth millions of magic stones.

The value of a plane lies not only in its vast land, massive population, and abundant resources, but also in its relatively weak plane will compared to the primary plane.

If development continues, we can treat the will of the plane as a worker, summon it, and then build machines around it. In this way, we can use its ability to gather elements to produce magic stones at low cost.

If you want to make a fortune quickly, you can directly tear apart the consciousness of the plane, or seal it completely. This thing is a rare resource.

Plane consciousness fragments can be used to create demiplanes, allowing mages to control the entire demiplane.

The consciousness of the entire plane can be transformed into the spirit of the floating city, assisting the mage in managing the entire floating city.

In short, the consciousness of a plane is a treasure trove. If it weren't for the fact that the consciousness of the main plane is simply no match for it, mages would probably dare to imprison the consciousness of the main plane and make it work for them.

"That's enough, I just came to take a look."

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou turned and disappeared into the shadows.

"this……"

"What's wrong, Lord Victor?"

"Who knows? Why worry about all that? Instead of focusing on these things, we should focus on the bread, which has increased tenfold in price."

"A 500 billion loaf of bread? To be honest, I only know what 500 means. I don't even know what a billion is."

"Sigh, who can argue with that? Luckily, the guild distributed supplies directly, otherwise I might not even be able to afford bread tomorrow with my salary today."

"Sigh, this world..."

After saying that, the two underlings went back to patrolling and working.

Jiang Shuzhou used his tentacles to quickly crawl up the nearly 90-degree slope.

As time went on, Jiang Shuzhou's strength grew stronger and stronger. His blood had turned into a thick, black substance, just like oil.

He doesn't look like a good person.

At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou also realized that he seemed to really have no brains.

Yes, he's brainless.

Jiang Shuzhou's memories don't follow his brain; they follow his soul.

So the absence of his brain didn't make him feel anything.

That's what makes him so unique.

The reason we maintain our humanity is simply because of habit.

Now Jiang Shuzhou stopped pretending and transformed into a tentacle monster, galloping freely across the cliff face at great speed.

Jiang Shuzhou arrived later than Jess, but he reached the upper city first.

Jiang Shuzhou transformed into a middle-aged man whom Jess had never seen before.

Immediately afterwards, he pretended to be nonchalant and wandered around aimlessly.

Soon, Jess arrived.

Jess looked completely at ease, showing no signs of being followed.

He then began to walk down a road that Jiang Shuzhou was familiar with.

The road leading to Jinx's lab.

Jiang Shuzhou raised an eyebrow. What did that mean?

Did this guy really sell himself out?

Or is it that love-struck brain has kicked in and is preparing to have half of one's cultivation level taken away?

Jiang Shuzhou quietly prepared to go and see what this person was up to.

"Jack! You're half an hour later than yesterday!"

Jinx looked mournful.

"I'm making weapons, you know. The lower city is a bit chaotic, and you can't get by without good weapons."

"Yeah?"

Jinx didn't say anything else after that.

"You said you'd teach me!"

Then, they began to discuss various academic topics.

"Ugh, what a terrible mistake! Why did I listen to her and actually publish that stuff!"

Violet touched her forehead, speechless.

These two were truly a perfect match, both possessing great talent and beauty, yet both suffered from serious illnesses.

He was suffering from Stockholm syndrome and was even giving a friendly look to the person who stole his experimental equipment, and even giving him gifts every day.

The other one was also an amazing person, who actually dared to come after the notice, unafraid of being beaten to death.

However, she probably didn't expect that there was another extraordinary person watching them intently from a dark corner.

BYD, you've forgotten your brothers now that you've hooked up with a rich woman, haven't you?

Did you consider my needs when you brought so many parts and materials?

Because Jiang Shuzhou was hiding in a dark and cramped ventilation duct, no one, including Jess, noticed him.

No one expected that people could hide in such a place.

A normal person indeed cannot hide inside, but Jiang Shuzhou is not a normal person. Since he stopped being human, he can become whatever he wants.

This person seems to have no bones, like a pseudo-human.

Speaking of pseudo-humans, Jiang Shuzhou plans to add his current abnormal anthropomorphic ability to the pseudo-humans when he gets back, to enhance them.

"This is not right!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's wrong everywhere, this thing is unreadable, full of mistakes! Even my random scribbles on paper are better than this!"

Jinx blushed, a warm blush.

"you……"

And so, Jiang Shuzhou listened in for a long time until Jess said goodbye and prepared to leave.

"I'm leaving now."

"Why don't you stay here? It's too dangerous in the city. I'll give you a house, and you can just be my teacher in peace."

"Let's forget about it."

After saying that, Jess turned and left.

Do you really like her?

Violet asked curiously.

"Is there?"

"No?"

"possible?"

"impossible?"

Then, the two began a chaotic battle of riddles, with the entire conversation consisting of clichés and not a single useful sentence.

"Yo yo yo, isn't this Jack? How are things going with your little Jinx?"
