Chapter 71 Master Mage, can you still hold on?
After giving a brief introduction to the girls, Hua Yu selected a task from the Pearl Academy's task pool that was neither too difficult nor too easy.
Task: Assist the fishermen in fishing.
Since it's a mission, there must be a bounty.
However, only a very small portion of the reward money will be distributed to the students; the majority will be handled by the school for a series of construction projects and so on.

Taihu Lake is located on the southern edge of the Yangtze River Delta.
This place shares the same name as Dongting Lake, and because of its vast waters and the various different ecosystems surrounding it, it has become a gathering place for several major demon tribes.
Among them, the Three White Demon Tribe, led by Lei Chi Silver Fish, is the most famous.
Besides these, there is the Ironclad Crab clan.
After September, it's fishing season here.
Taihu Lake is rich in aquatic products, which were the main source of income for the villagers who first lived in the area.
However, with the invasion of demons, this place was no longer a place they could set foot in, and most people moved away from here.
However, some people were unwilling to leave their hometown and chose to stay. They pooled their money to hire monks to escort them on their fishing trips and maintain their livelihood.
Even now, the people who live here still make a living this way.
Therefore, the training mission for Jing Lin and the other women was to act as bodyguards and accompany the fishermen to fish here.
Of course, the ordinary fishermen living here all know where they should go and where they shouldn't go.
For security reasons, all universities will definitely conduct prior reconnaissance before assigning tasks to graduates.
Therefore, although this task sounds dangerous, it is actually not difficult.

The day was sunny and breezy.
The lake surface shimmered, and a gentle breeze blew, making one feel intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.
A group of beautifully dressed female college students appeared here, holding hands and chatting and laughing, forming a beautiful scene.
Behind them, a man wearing a baseball cap sat lazily against a tree.
"Are these people here for leisure or to do a mission?" Hua Yu felt a headache coming on, then muttered to himself, "What a nuisance, I'll deduct ten points from each of them first."
After saying that, he took out a form and circled each person's name. Then, too lazy to climb down from the tree, he used his sonic powers to stay in place and observe the movements of the others.
Behind Hua Yu, on the tree trunk, there was a large green moth that was already fifty centimeters long, lying motionless.
Compared to other demons, the moths were far too fragile; it seemed their existence was utterly insignificant to the natural world.
Their lifespan is too short; in just two weeks, only one of the original forty-four remains.
To be precise, it didn't die; it was reborn.
Emergence from the pupa!
It absorbed the holy water power from the bodies of the other forty-three green moths, gathered it into one body, and transformed into a green pupa.
It only just broke free of its pupa and flew out.
After being reborn, it actually grew even larger and became stronger than before.
However, although these creatures are very fragile, they do reproduce very quickly; forty-three died and two hundred emerged.
Moreover, these newly born green moths are quite special. They do not require Hua Yu to re-contract them and are born with Hua Yu's spiritual imprint.
During this time, Hua Yu also gained a general understanding of the abilities of these green moths.
There are actually many kinds of them. The ones that Yu Shishi used to retaliate against the villagers were the genuine green moths. They can absorb essence and then feed it back to other creatures.
Others were specifically responsible for combat, reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, and so on.
After Hua Yu identified their species, the holy water produced by the little green dragon was henceforth reserved only for the spirit moths responsible for combat.
After all, sometimes being large isn't convenient and isn't suitable for the other moths.
On the other side, the women followed the mission instructions and found the group of fishermen.
They were waiting on the shore in a fishing boat that looked quite presentable.
The fishermen's eyes lit up as soon as they saw the women walking towards them.
Most of the villagers who go out fishing are young and strong men, and they've never seen so many girls before.
"Cough cough."
Among the fishermen, the dark-skinned old man who was in the lead coughed lightly, then stepped off the boat with a smile on his face and greeted Jing Lin and the others.
"You must be the esteemed mages we've been looking for."
"It's us." Jing Ling nodded, looking quite arrogant.
Even if their strength isn't particularly outstanding, as long as they are mages, their status is extremely noble to ordinary people.
this is the truth!
The old man didn't seem to care about their attitude and still had a cheerful look on his face.
After being amazed, the rest of the men went to their respective posts to prepare for the fishing boats to set sail.
Compared to beautiful women, staying alive is clearly more important to them!
After more than ten minutes of preparation, the group set sail.
The fishing boat was not small, about twenty meters long, and it sailed very smoothly on the lake. Even Fu Yuanyuan, who was originally a little seasick, did not feel so uncomfortable.
The fishermen were still using the most traditional method of net fishing, with a few strong young men on the shore pulling the other end of the net.
Fishing in this way means the boat doesn't need to be too far from the shore.
Even so, a few demons still emerged from the water.
They are a kind of shrimp monster, their bodies covered as if draped in a layer of white armor, their two pincers ferocious and terrifying, gleaming brightly in the sunlight.
Their striking white color seemed to directly reveal their identity.
"Everyone be careful, these are iron claw shrimp."
Song Han adjusted his glasses and immediately began introducing the demon in front of them to everyone.
"Can you handle this?" the dark-skinned old man asked tremblingly.
Although those iron-clawed white shrimps were only servant-level creatures, if a mage without magical tools were caught in their pincers, they would most likely die instantly, let alone ordinary people like them.
"Don't worry, leave it to us," Jing Lin said confidently.
"Lightning Seal. Wrathful Strike!"
"Wind Disc. Tornado!"
A few lowly demon servants were nothing to the top students of Pearl Academy.
Just as they were feeling somewhat smug and thought the task was easy...
"Lulu lulu~"
A strange sound came from under the ship, and then the ship began to shake violently.
"Oh no, sisters, Water Guard!" Song Han exclaimed.
As soon as he finished speaking, several water barriers stood up.
All ten of them are from the Water Academy. Their offensive capabilities may be insufficient, but in terms of defense, they are definitely capable of serving as bodyguards.
"Honorable Mage, are you still holding on?"
