Chapter 985 Mo Fan is burdened with debt, and his unfair bet with Mu Zhuoyun
Bo City Magic High School.
Everyone on the playground was filled with shock.
just now.
The Star-Sense Stone burst forth with a dazzling red light under Mo Fan's palm.
"S-rank. It's actually S-rank."
The teacher muttered to himself incredulously.
The notepad in my hand almost slipped and fell to the ground.
Mo Fan withdrew his hand.
Looking at the faint glow remaining on the testing stone.
I can hardly hold back the smile at the corners of my mouth.
far away.
Mu Ningxue and Ye Xinxia didn't care about what was happening here.
The two people were talking to Fu Ye.
Occasionally, it would cast a nonchalant glance in this direction.
Tang Yue had already learned from Fu Ye that Mo Fan had been pretending to be stupid, so she wasn't very surprised by the result.
at this time.
Mu Zhuoyun stepped down from the stage.
Today, this upright official from the Bocheng branch of the Mu family was dressed in a dark blue Tang suit.
He walked steadily toward Ximofan.
Soon, a murmur rippled across the playground.
"Mo Fan,"
Mu Zhuoyun's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire playground.
"Your fire-elemental talent is impressive. On behalf of the Mu family, I formally invite you to join us. The Mu family will provide you with the best resources to help you become a top-tier mage."
The audience suddenly exploded.
Zhang Xiaohou excitedly patted the empty seat next to him.
It was as if Mo Fan was sitting there.
"My God! An invitation from the Mu family! Brother Fan is going to be rich!"
Mu Bai stood in the crowd not far away.
His face turned slightly pale.
He was a member of a collateral branch of the Mu family and was well aware of the value of family resources and the fierce competition for them.
Mu Zhuoyun actually personally stepped forward to recruit an outsider.
Mo Fan remained silent for a few seconds.
The experience of another time and space flooded my mind like a tide.
Those disdainful looks.
A contemptuous sneer.
Overt and covert exclusion.
Despite the existence of Fu Ye, this world is still a part of it.
The Mu family had no enmity with him.
But those memories are etched deep in my soul and cannot be erased.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Mu,"
Mo Fan raised his head, his gaze resolute.
"But I'm used to venturing out on my own."
The playground fell silent once again.
Mu Zhuoyun was slightly taken aback.
Clearly, they hadn't expected to be rejected.
He scrutinized Mo Fan before him.
Trying to read something from the other person's eyes.
Is it just a pose, or is he genuinely dismissive?
"interesting,"
Mu Zhuoyun suddenly laughed, a smile tinged with amusement.
“It’s a good thing for young people to have backbone. You may not be very mature now, but I believe you will know the cruelty of the magician world in the future.”
“I understand,” Mo Fan replied calmly.
That night.
Mo Fan sat cross-legged on his dormitory bed.
The Stardust Magic Artifacts distributed by the school were placed in front of them.
It was an exquisite silver pendant.
A dark red gemstone is set in the center.
It is said to increase the cultivation time of novice mages.
Mo Fan closed his eyes and mobilized the fire magic within his body.
Suddenly, something happened.
The little loach seemed to be activated by something, and began to uncontrollably absorb the surrounding magic.
Mo Fan felt his condensed fire energy being pulled by a powerful suction force.
Even more terrifying, the Stardust Artifact in front of them began to tremble, and the gem at its center quickly dimmed.
"Oops!"
Mo Fan tried to stop it, but it was too late.
There was a soft "click" sound.
A crack appeared in the gem on the Stardust Magic Artifact. The gem then shattered into powder. The silver casing also twisted and deformed, completely losing its original magical energy.
Mo Fan stared in disbelief at the scene before him.
An ominous feeling welled up in my heart.
He carefully picked up the little loach pendant and noticed that its color seemed a bit darker, with a faint sheen on its surface.
"You guy."
Mo Fan smiled wryly.
"We've made a huge mistake."
Stardust artifacts are quite expensive.
Even the most basic Stardust artifact.
It's not something an ordinary student like him can afford.
He was completely helpless in this situation.
Because he was not familiar with Tang Yue in this life.
He didn't dare tell anyone else about it.
"Sigh, even the most ordinary Stardust Magic Artifacts cost hundreds of thousands. I couldn't earn that much even if I sold hooks for three to five years."
Mo Fan felt bitter.
It's true that even a hero can be brought down by a penny.
Just as Mo Fan was trying to figure out how to raise money.
Fu Ye wanted to prevent him from going down the wrong path.
So...
The next morning.
The news spread like wildfire.
"Have you heard? Mo Fan broke the Stardust Magic Artifact that the school gave out!"
"How could that be? That thing is pretty sturdy."
Various discussions spread like wildfire across the campus.
Some people gloated.
Some people expressed sympathy.
Many others were simply curious.
How could a genius who has just been identified as having S-level talent make such a basic mistake?
When Mo Fan was called to the principal's office.
Several people were already standing inside.
The principal, the director of studies, Fu Ye, teacher Tang Yue, and Mu Zhuoyun with a serious expression.
The damaged Stardust artifact lay on the table.
The fragments were carefully collected on a velvet mat.
"Mo Fan,"
The principal sighed.
Do you know the value of this magical artifact?
"I know."
Mo Fan lowered his head.
"According to school rules, damage to teaching equipment requires compensation at cost. The preliminary estimate is that this Stardust Magic Artifact is worth around 800,000."
The head of student affairs pushed up his glasses, his tone tinged with regret.
Mo Fan's heart sank.
Eight hundred thousand was an astronomical figure for him in this world.
Just then, Mu Zhuoyun suddenly spoke.
"Perhaps we can find a different solution."
All eyes were on the Mu clan patriarch.
“Mo Fan, I admire your talent and understand the arrogance of youth,”
Mu Zhuoyun said slowly.
“I’ll give you a chance. Two years from now, my adopted son, Yuang, will have a duel with you during his coming-of-age ceremony. If you can defeat him in a public match, this debt will be wiped clean.”
The office was so quiet you could hear someone breathing.
Teacher Tang Yue frowned slightly.
"President Mu, is this..."
"It's fair, isn't it?"
Mu Zhuoyun interrupted her.
“I’m offering a win-win solution. Mo Fan won’t have to bear a huge debt, and I can see just how far a genius who rejected the Mu family’s invitation can grow.”
He paused for a moment after saying this.
"Of course, if you lose to my adopted son, Mo Fan, then you will have to join my Mu family."
In Mu Zhuoyun's mind, Mo Fan was truly a promising talent.
Moreover, Mo Fan was the son of his own driver.
in fact
He couldn't understand what the other person was thinking either.
Mo Fan raised his head and looked directly into Mu Zhuoyun's eyes.
In another time and space, this person was one of the people he hated the most.
But at this moment, the other party's suggestion did give him a chance to catch his breath.
"Okay, I accept."
Mo Fan's voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally firm. (End of Chapter)
