Working Hard to Earn Money to Support Little Green! (3rd update)

"Little Green, what skills do you have?" Song Jie asked gently.

Little Green let out a few soft "ding ding ding" sounds, and Song Jie understood.

"You can control plants?" Song Jie thought that was quite a decent skill.

He currently lacked control skills as well. If Little Green focused on control while he handled the damage, their effectiveness would definitely be far from lacking!

"Good job. Daddy believes in you." Song Jie rubbed Little Green's leaves.

Song Jie spent a while bonding with Little Green before sending it back.

He planned to use Magic Energy to feed Little Green only after he had summoned a second Summoned Beast through Dimensional Summon.

Magic Energy could be used for feeding during the early stages, but if it was still used in the middle stages, the Summoned Beast's growth would be a tier slower.

Late into the night, Song Jie continuously practiced his control. He was now only one-third away.

By the time Pearl Academy started, he should be able to cast Intermediate Level Light Element Magic.

At the same time, his Summoning Element Magic Energy had recovered, and he began entering the Dimensional Plane.

However, after searching for a long time this time, he still had not encountered a Summoned Beast that satisfied him.

"What a pity. Another opportunity wasted." Song Jie shook his head inwardly.

However, he knew it was impossible to succeed so quickly, so there was no need to rush.

He did not dwell on it and continued practicing his control, striving to cast Intermediate Level Magic as soon as possible.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

Song Jie opened his eyes, looking full of energy.

Although he had cultivated all night, he did not feel sleepy, because cultivating was also equivalent to resting.

Today, Song Jie planned to visit the Hunter's Union. After all, there would soon be two more "people" in the house.

After leaving home, he hailed a car by the roadside and gave the driver the address. The taxi then headed toward the Hunter's Union.

The Hunter's Union was an alliance organization for mages who worked as hunters across the world. It had branches at continental, national, and regional levels, and was responsible for managing hunters, maintaining order among hunters, and overseeing hunter contributions.

At the same time, hunters had a ranking system. Novice Hunters were the lowest rank, followed by Intermediate Hunters, Advanced Hunters, and Hunter Elites.

The ranks beyond those were Hunter Master and Hunter King!

Hunter Masters were ranked from one star to seven stars, with one star being the lowest and seven stars the highest.

Hunter Kings were few and far between. No matter where they were, they held considerable influence and status.

Song Jie had never worked as a hunter before, so he was rather unfamiliar with this field.

When he arrived at the Hunter's Union, he was immediately impressed by the grand building before him.

"Having money is great." The Hunter's Union building was even more magnificent than the Magic Association building.

After Song Jie walked inside, he soon arrived at the Hunter's Union lobby.

He looked at the large screens around him, which displayed the latest Bounty Missions.

Song Jie had not yet registered as a hunter, so he first needed to register in order to become one.

After arriving at the service counter, he briefly spoke with the female receptionist and soon registered his hunter identity.

Although Song Jie had obtained a hunter identity, he could not take on any of the missions here at all.

That was because he was currently only a Novice Hunter—or, in other words, a rookie hunter—and was not yet qualified to accept missions.

Therefore, he could only join another Hunter Squad and accept missions alongside them.

Song Jie scanned his surroundings and spotted the area where Hunter Squads were recruiting. He immediately walked over.

"Come on, come on! We need an Intermediate Light Element Mage here!"

"Don't miss out as you pass by! We need an Intermediate Wind Element Mage! We'll depart as soon as the team is full!"

"A Hunter Master is leading the team! We need a Plant Element Mage! Generous rewards!"

Song Jie watched these people shouting and began searching for a Hunter Squad that suited him.

He still lacked experience, so he wanted to start gaining experience with a Hunter Squad made up of Intermediate Mages.

"No cultivation requirement, no Element requirement! The Mu Family is recruiting people to gather Plant Stamens!" someone shouted nearby.

Plant Stamens?

Curious, Song Jie walked over and saw a man in his thirties shouting there.

"Sir, what are Plant Stamens?" Song Jie asked.

Seeing someone approach, the man explained, "Plant Stamens are generally used to feed Plant Element Summoning Elements, or to make medicine."

"Little brother, do you want to come along? This mission has three High-level Mages accompanying us, so safety is very well guaranteed."

Song Jie pondered without answering immediately, thinking about the Plant Stamens.

These Plant Stamens could feed Plant Element Summoned Beasts. Didn't that mean he could use them to feed Little Green?

"Little brother, we don't have any level requirements here, and we're almost at full capacity. Do you want to join us?" the uncle continued.

"When are we going?" Song Jie asked.

"In the next couple of days. I'll notify you when the time comes," the uncle said with a cheerful smile.

"What's the pay?"

"Ten thousand a day."

"That little?"

"Young man, you don't know this, do you? The Plant Stamens you pick can be exchanged with the Mu Family. One Plant Stamen can be traded for fifty thousand!" The uncle's face was full of smiles.

"One is worth fifty thousand. If you find ten, that's five hundred thousand!"

Although Song Jie knew the man was trying to talk him into it, he did indeed need Plant Stamens.

"Besides, this is the market price for Plant Stamens. Fair prices for everyone!" the uncle added.

"Alright, sign me up." Song Jie nodded.

"Great! Leave your contact information, and I'll let you know when we leave," the uncle said hurriedly with a smile.

After leaving his contact information, Song Jie turned and left the Hunter's Union.

Time flew by.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Song Jie received a call from the man the night before, telling him to head to the Mu Family early the next morning.

The Mu Family stood alongside the Bai Family, Lu Family, and Dongfang Family as the four great families of Magic City. They were among the most prestigious families in Magic City.

Song Jie took a taxi to the Mu Family's residence, where quite a few buses were parked outside.

"Young man, you're here? Hurry and get on the bus—we're about to set off!" The uncle waved at him.

Song Jie nodded, then picked a bus and boarded it.

A few minutes later, the buses began moving toward Little Kun Mountain, since Plant Stamens could only be found there.

Little Kun Mountain lay south of Magic City, where endless dense forests stretched as far as the eye could see.

At the same time, Little Kun Mountain contained countless varieties of flowers, and Plant Stamens were one of them.

The journey was smooth, and around noon, the buses came to a stop.

"Everyone, get off the buses!" someone shouted outside.

Song Jie looked out the window and spotted a station in the distance. It was similar to Snow Peak Mountain Station in Bo City.

Both were located on the edge of the city's Safe Zone, generally used for defense or as places for mages to resupply.

Song Jie followed the flow of people off the bus at an unhurried pace, then arrived at the gathering point.

"Everyone, come over here. Don't get separated—we're about to enter Little Kun Mountain," the uncle said.
