Chapter 12: The first appearance of profiteers, making friends
"Fireball is such a simple magic, how come it took you so long to learn it?"

The middle-aged wizard had a look of disappointment on his face, and then, perhaps because he noticed someone was watching outside or because he really felt that there was something wrong with his behavior just now, he patiently taught the method of casting the fireball again.

Seeing Xingyuan stop in his tracks, people thought he was interested in the famous poor students and people with connections in this temple, and the teacher in charge was explaining to him.

"This child's name is Lin Xin."

It was indeed him. Xingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, but that was all.

He actually didn't like this guy who had a quirky personality in the original plot.

Although Lin Xin's talent is actually very good, if he does not resolve his mental issues and is unwilling to learn offensive magic, he will undoubtedly be a burden in the demon hunting team.

Although his talent in potions can barely cover up his weakness of not being able to use offensive magic, if given a choice, most people would probably still want a normal magician teammate.

However, Xingyuan himself is a magician, and each demon hunting team will only have one magician member, so he is destined to not have many opportunities to come into contact with Lin Xin in the future.

“This child is very strange. His spiritual power improves very quickly, and his speed in learning magic is also relatively fast among the children in the temple.

He has no problem with his affinity for fire, but for some reason he can’t learn offensive magic…”

As he was talking, the teacher who was originally planning to advise Xingyuan not to have too much contact with Lin Xin, this freak student, saw a scene that almost made him drop his jaw.

As the middle-aged wizard in the classroom finished explaining the key points of casting fireball, a blazing fireball appeared in Xingyuan's palm.

Doesn't he have an affinity for the dual elements of earth and light?

Seeing that Lin Xin still didn't cast the fireball according to the steps he taught, the middle-aged wizard who noticed the star source outside felt helpless.

"Look, even this new fellow apprentice can learn it just by listening outside, why is it so difficult for him to learn from you?"

However, Lin Xin didn't care about what his teacher said at all, but looked at Xingyuan through the window with curiosity.

He was about six or seven years older than Xingyuan, but because he could not learn offensive magic, he was never able to advance from the beginner class.

When Xingyuan learned the news from his teacher, he felt a little amused and helpless. He didn't expect that he got to know Lin Xin for this reason.

"Teacher, I'm going to the library then."

Xingyuan extinguished the fireball in his hand with a flick of his hand, nodded slightly to Lin Xin in the classroom, and left on his own, planning to find some magic books that he could learn at this stage.

Because he was a student in the beginner class, Xingyuan could only read the books on the first floor of the library.

But this is enough. After all, he can only cast third-level magic at most.

However, just as Xingyuan was finding a less crowded seat in the library and was about to sit down and read a book, he noticed a figure that shouldn't be here, secretly observing him in the dark.

"Is there a problem?"

Xingyuan closed the book and sighed, "Your name is Lin Xin, right? What's the matter?"

After hearing what Xingyuan said, Lin Xin, who was hiding behind the bookshelf, also smiled. There was no embarrassment on his face as he was caught in the act. He sat opposite Xingyuan, rubbing his hands.

"I didn't expect that you even knew my name, Junior Brother."

"First, your name was told to me by the teacher next to me just now."

Xingyuan held his forehead with his hand, looking quite helpless, "Secondly, we are both in the beginner class now, belonging to the same level, so we should not be considered as brothers in the same school."

"I don't know what your name is, brother?"

However, even though Xingyuan had said so much, Lin Xin still spoke to him in a familiar manner. "Xingyuan."

"Good name……"

"Stop it, stop it."

Xingyuan had no interest in being flattered by others, so he didn't give Lin Xin a chance to beat around the bush. "If you have something to say, just say it. I have other things to do."

“It’s easy to talk to smart people.”

Lin Xin didn't care and immediately took out three bottles and jars from the storage ring on his finger and placed them in front of Xingyuan.

"What does it mean?"

Although he knew that Lin Xin, who was a socialite and eloquent, would definitely contact him, Xingyuan did not expect the other party to be so direct right from the start and put the bottle of pills in front of him with a clang.

Because he didn't want others to notice that he had the ability to see into the future, Xingyuan hadn't used his future vision ability for a long time.

Especially when applying this ability in ordinary life, he often loses his sense of surprise and curiosity about the future.

It was like he didn't know what Lin Xin wanted him to do, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Nothing special, Brother Xingyuan."

Lin Xin pointed at the three bottles of pills on the table and said, "I just think that you and I are very compatible, so I want to make friends with you."

"Brother Xingyuan, don't worry, this is not a deal."

Seeing that Xingyuan didn't reply, Lin Xin thought he was worried that he, an old hand, would take the opportunity to blackmail him, so he quickly explained, "This is a welcome gift to welcome you here, brother Xingyuan. It's just a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Indeed, these are not precious elixirs.

Although in Xingyuan's opinion, Lin Xin is full of shortcomings at this stage, and this is only a teenager, but he has already shown that he is as smooth as an adult, and is full of bad intentions...

But he is not without other merits besides making potions.

He has an extremely sharp and long-term vision and knows which people are worth investing in.

Do you remember how he joined Long Haochen's Demon Hunting Team in the original plot line?

Yes, it is the same as now.

He used three bottles of elixirs to exchange for Long Haochen's promise to select him as a teammate if he could rank in the top three in the individual competition of the Demon Hunting Team selection.

"Then thank you, Brother Lin Xin."

Although Xingyuan was well aware that free things were the most expensive, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he also felt that he needed to establish a good relationship with Lin Xin, so he accepted the few bottles of pills that he "gave for free".

After all, Lin Xin is also a very smart business genius.

Although to put it bluntly he is a profiteer, if Xingyuan sets up a demon hunting team in the future, they will inevitably have contact with him.

Since there is no benefit in being enemies with him, let's just be friends with him like a gentleman.

Xingyuan thought so in his heart.

I can't help with big things, and I don't want to help with small things...
