Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage 162 Yuan Chun

"Junior Xie Xinyue, what do you think we should do now? Do you have any suggestions?" A handsome-looking young man asked Xie Xinyue. He couldn't hide the passionate look in his eyes, but it was a pity that Xie Xinyue's heart and body already belong to another man.

The two were walking on the icy plains, Xie Xinyue kept a distance of one meter from the young man. This made him angry because Xie Xinyue was trying to stay away from him.

Whenever he thought about Xie Xinyue having a boyfriend, he was jealous and envious of Liu Yang. He already had a beautiful bride, Liu Xia, but now, he also had another beautiful bride. This luck made him envious and jealous, not just him, but many young masters from rich and powerful clans.

After defeating her first opponent, Xie Xinyue walked for a few hours to find a teammate. He was also sent to the icy plains.

Unlike Xie Xinyue, the young man needed to use fire to warm up, he had no resistance to the cold like her.

"Our job is to do the missions to get more points to help the team. But we can also try to find rare treasures for our cultivation. Senior Yuan, do you have any equipment to detect treasures? " Xie Xinyue took out a glass of water with a piece of paper inside.

The young man's full name was Yuan Chun, he was three years older than Xie Xinyue. He studies at the same university of Song Jia, Yuan Chun is a veteran of one of the university campuses, while Xiao Mei and Xie Xinyue were still in the third year of high school. Song Jia was the veteran and was almost finished with university and graduating.

"Yes, I have. Junior Xie Xinyue, do you also have a treasure detector? " Yuan Chun saw the arrow-shaped piece of paper and the glass of water.

Both items gave the feeling of being mystical, despite appearing to be commonplace.

"Yes. This piece of paper will show the direction of the nearest treasure, but the treasure may not be that rare "Xie Xinyue put her magic energy in the glass.

The water in the glass was not ordinary water, but a special type of water used to detect things. The arrow-shaped piece of paper was to show the direction of the nearest treasure.

Yuan Chun looked at the glass of water and did not comment. He knew that there were many types of strange treasure detectors in the world.

Putting his hand in the pocket, Yuan Chun took out a wooden pencil with strangely drawn drawings. He put his magic energy and threw the pencil in the air, after turning it three times, the pencil fell upright in Yuan Chun's palm.

Seconds later, the pencil fell in a certain direction, the same direction pointed by Xie Xinyue's paper arrow.

"It looks like it's pointing the same way as your treasure detector. Júnior Xie Xinyue, shall we go this way? "

Both were surprised by this scene, as it was difficult for a treasure detector to show the same location. Each magician had different magical energies and generally, the treasure detectors showed different directions.

As the magic energy of a magician was different for each one, the results were different.

The two detectors showing the same direction means two things: The treasure was something that any mage can use. Or a treasure that can be used by Xie Xinyue or Yuan Chun.

A treasure that can be used by any mage was very rare and precious, as any type of mage with any element can use it.

"Let's go. But we need to be careful about possible opponents, but also a powerful creature. Such a treasure must have a powerful guardian protecting it. "

"Yes. I will use my metal element to control some drone around us "Yuan Chun took out a few small pieces of metal in the shape of a small flying drone.

Metallic-colored energy covered the pieces of metal before they flew slowly. Unlike electronic devices, a metal drone was activated by the mage's magical energy. They had the same functions, to watch and detect possible hidden opponents.

"These drones have heat sensors, anything that gives off heat will be detected. This will help us to avoid future dangers "Yuan Chun had a total of eight drones. He sent two to each direction. On his arm was a panel with eight screens and showing what each one was seeing.

"Let's walk around the treasure location"

"Yes"

The two started walking in the direction indicated by the treasure finders. Yuan Chun was paying attention to the screens while Xie Xinyue analyzed their surroundings.

As a water and ice mage, Xie Xinyue was more likely to locate the icy creatures that inhabit the frozen plains. This was the fault of Yuan Chun's drone, it cannot detect the heat of a creature that does not emit heat.

…

Some minutes later...

"Senior, wait. I found some hidden creatures "Xie Xinyue suddenly stopped walking. She had a serious face when she talked about it.

"Where?" Yuan Chun looked around and found nothing, not even the drone was able to detect the presence of something in the middle of the icy plains. He knew that the creatures that live at the site were the type that had low body temperatures were difficult to detect with his drone.

"Later on. If we walk another two hundred meters, we will find these creatures. "

"Junior Xie Xinyue, do you know what kind of creatures they are?"

"Not. They are mixed in the snow, it makes it impossible to discover their shape "

Ice creatures could camouflage themselves in the snow. This made it almost impossible to find out what kind of creatures they were, as the creatures in the place were almost all made of ice.

Xie Xinyue managed to detect the creatures because her hot water particles were destroyed by the creatures. The creatures thought it was an enemy attack and erased the water particles. They are unaware that this revealed their location.

"Looking at the treasure detector, we can dodge these creatures and go in the other direction." The paper arrow and the pencil were indicating another direction.

"Senior, have you completed your daily quest yet?"

"Yes. Junior Xie Xinyue, haven't you finished your quest yet? "

"I already finished, but I need to complete the other quest" Xie Xinyue showed the scroll she received after defeating the other participant some time ago.

To increase competition among competitors, the committee created an interesting challenge. When one participant is defeated by another, he leaves the mission scroll in place for others to take and complete. Thus, the number of points that a participant can earn is twice as much as normal.

"Junior Xie Xinyue, did you beat another competitor?" Yuan Chun knew what the scroll in Xie Xinyue's hands means. As a participant on the team, Yuan Chun also hoped to defeat another participant from another country to take his scroll.

"Yes. Before I met the senior, I met an opponent. If the senior prefers, you can continue the search for the treasure, I will fight the creatures to complete the mission and earn more points for our team "

"Junior Xie Xinyue, I am also a member of the team. It is my duty to help the team to get more points. " Yuan Chun spoke fairly. Despite his words, he had no desire to fight the creatures, he wanted to continue looking for the treasures.

(Fighting creatures? I wouldn't even want to do that, except for the fact that our actions are being transmitted to the whole world. I would never waste my energies fighting creatures that will not give us any reward. It is much better to follow the treasure detector and search for the treasure.

What's good about your dead fiance? So he managed to damage the barrier created by Saint Mages, he died after doing that. Why do you still care about him?) That was Yuan Chun's thought, he didn't want to waste his energies fighting creatures without receiving any kind of benefit. He is only acceptable to do so because his actions were being seen by members of his clan and the government of the country.

Yuan Chun was not the only one who thought Liu Yang was dead. Many other young masters think the same thing. After so many months, Liu Yang still has no news of being alive, it made them think he was dead. Only a small amount of people know that he is alive, these people have not revealed it to others.

Liu Yang preferred to keep it a secret so he could train quietly.

Because of this, many young masters tried to court Xiao Mei, Song Jia, and Xie Xinyue, they think that Liu Yang was dead and that they had a chance to get their hearts, but it was a pity that it would never happen. Yuan Chun was one of those young masters.

Xie Xinyue was aware of Yuan Chun's looks and avoided talking about it. She pretended that nothing was happening, as he did nothing outrageous, at least so far. If he tried to do something, Xie Xinyue would not hold back, even though she is being monitored.
