Richman nodded, paused for a moment, and then said:
"We recently added a new course for students majoring in 'Governance' called 'Setting Up Nodes'."
A moment of silence fell over the room. After a while, Walmart couldn't help but ask:
"Magic Network Nodes? Your progress is quite rapid."
“After all, Bogu Academy absorbed the techniques of alchemy, while we absorbed its core…” Richman was about to continue when the magic arrays around the conference room suddenly lit up. He paused, then smiled faintly:
"Latis has arrived."
“Oh right, speaking of this.” Fisherman scratched his head, picked up the magic engine on the table, and dramatically stuffed it back into his body before comfortably reclining in his chair and asking:
"This student is carrying a badge given to him by His Highness Slinger, who has some dealings with Jeris because of shared interests. Could this mean that he might be leaning towards the hawks?"
“Probably not…” Richman said hesitantly. “If he really does have a naturally strong enchanting constitution, then he would be very useful to our plan. Let’s try our best to get him.”
“After all, we’re still fighting our own battles right now. We just happen to have a fellow exchange student with leadership potential, so we should probably try to coerce or entice him a bit.” Fisherman nodded, looked at Walmart, and laughed: “If all else fails, Walmart can be his sugar daddy. I don’t think any innocent young man could resist that kind of temptation, right?”
"Ha!" Walmart bared his sharp fangs, hissed like a cat, and said resentfully:
"Where would I get the money? If I could pull out 10,000 gold coins in cash right now, I'd bring it up with him face to face later!"
Wow!
Before she could finish speaking, thousands of gold coins of different denominations suddenly appeared in front of her. Walmart jumped up from his chair, staring blankly at Rickman, who touched his nose guiltily and said with a shifty gaze:
"Well, to put it simply, spending ten thousand yuan to watch the principal of Qing Teng Academy flirt with young boys is actually quite interesting..."
Quick footsteps echoed down the corridor. Walmart gritted his teeth in annoyance, snorted, put away the coins, and sat back down in his chair.
"May Queen Whiteley live forever."
They bowed their heads slightly and spoke softly.
……
……
"London Bridge is collapsing, London Bridge... wait, it looks like it's already collapsed?"
Latis hummed a tune from his hometown, then suddenly paused, muttering to himself:
"Is it a bit unlucky for me to sing this song? What if I accidentally kill the Queen while singing it..."
He walked to the door and was about to knock when he suddenly looked at the conference room window, which was reflecting the sunlight. He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, combed his hair into an adult style, and then nodded in satisfaction.
Latis walked to the door and was about to knock when the door suddenly opened by itself.
He looked at the three principals, who seemed to be suppressing laughter, with a puzzled expression. He then glanced at the one-way window, remained silent for two seconds, and sat down on the chair opposite Walmart without any expression.
"Latis, the reason we invited you to this meeting is firstly..."
"Wait a minute!" Latis interrupted Walmart's speech. He stood up, slammed the sign on his back onto the table, pointed to the line "Unrivaled at the Third Ring Level, Number One Mid-Rank Mage," and said coldly:
"Who wrote this? Step forward!"
There was a few seconds of silence, then Fisherman suddenly burst into laughter, slamming his hand on the table and shouting:
"Oh no, I really can't hold it in anymore, hahaha, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
"Ahem..." Walmart awkwardly tapped the table, glanced at Fisherman who was still laughing to himself, coughed twice more, and said:
"It must have been written by Professor Yin Xiuer from our college... Professor Yin was the only one who arrived early today, so..."
"Teacher Yin happens to be one of the teachers responsible for teaching intermediate-level mages. You should be able to meet her again when you come to class later..."
Walmart paused for a moment, seemingly casting a calming spell on himself, then took a deep breath and continued:
"In short, out of respect for Princess Slingk, we need to confirm the course schedule with you in person. Of course, the more important reason, as you probably guessed, is the test report you received from the Mage Association two hours ago."
"There's not much to say about the course structure," Richman replied.
"According to the established rules for exchange students, you can audit all classes. As long as you apply for and pass enough courses during the exam season, you can receive scholarships and other material rewards. Of course, if you don't pass enough courses, even if you reach the rank of High-Level Mage, you will still need to complete enough make-up courses before graduation."
"Hiss..." Latis gasped, suddenly feeling the pressure of preparing for final exams and major courses again.
"And then there are points and annual targets," Walmart added.
"The factions of the spell tree are rooted in the magic network. We can't create points out of thin air; we can only redistribute internal points through the academy's large beacon to help students learn more spells. Latis, how many spells have you unlocked in your spell tree?"
Latis opened the magic network, staring at the grayed-out official spells except for the Apprentice Trick which didn't need to be unlocked. He silently widened his deadpan eyes and asked emotionlessly:
"Can I not tell you?"
Walmart smiled slightly, nodded, and said:
"It's alright. It's really difficult for a wild mage to unlock too many spells on their own without the help of a large organization. I guess you've only unlocked about fourteen or fifteen, right?"
“…Yes.” Latis wiped the sweat from his brow and nodded.
"Okay, then the three of us will pull you into the academy's large beacon in a moment. Before that, let me explain the annual mission of the Magic Network to you."
[Sixth Ring Spell - Beacon Network]
[Armed Shopping Bags (Walmart) #Online]
[Penniless (Richman Wells) #Online]
[Motorcycle Grandpa (Fisherman Kraft) #Online]
Information about the technique appeared before Latis's eyes. He felt the connection to the beacon and continued to look at Walmart, who was still explaining.
"It could be as a way to monitor members of the large beacon... Of course, it could also be a benefit. The Magic Network will issue annual tasks to members of the large beacon every calendar year. In addition to the annual tasks, there will also be small tasks that refresh every week and month. So the advantage of large beacon members over individual mages is that the Magic Network will constantly give them points and tasks."
"But the annual mission is particularly important because if it is not completed by the deadline, members will not be able to accept their weekly and monthly missions, and the points trading function will also be prohibited... Hehe, this may be a warning from the Magic Network to members of the large beacon, that is, its benefits are not unconditional."
“Or rather…” Fisherman suddenly added, seemingly unintentionally:
"The Magic Network will dispatch mages to their designated locations in the form of annual missions."
Latis glanced at the three people staring intently at him and scratched his head.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I already guessed this. It's just that the magic network might do bad things, and it's a public bus... Oh, should I be surprised now?"
Thinking of this, his eyes widened immediately, two beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he whispered in disbelief:
"N-Nani? Masaka..."
Seeing the three principals nod in satisfaction, Latis couldn't help but feel speechless, inwardly complaining:
"Are you all just kids? Damn, how childish!"
"The college's beacon should have connected you by now. You can check it out. From now on, just go to the college to attend the courses you want to take."
"By the way, we wanted to ask, Latis, did you wear any enchanted equipment that increases spellcasting effectiveness during the test?"
Just as Latis was about to inspect the Institute beacon, Richman suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Latis shook his head and said, "No? Do I look like someone who can afford magical equipment?"
“So it really is your own talent…” Richman gradually fell into deep thought, and Walmart, seeing this, suddenly whispered:
"Alright, Latis, you can go ahead and get busy."
"Huh?" Richman snapped out of his daze and looked at Walmart with a puzzled expression.
Walmart coughed, then chuckled twice under Richman's increasingly disdainful gaze, and said:
"Latis must be very busy since he's new here..."
“Wait, there’s one more thing,” Latis called out to them instead.
"Huh? What's up?" Walmart leaned back in his chair and asked curiously.
Latis took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
"What I'm about to tell you, please don't be afraid..."
Richman glanced at his watch, shook his head, and said:
“We are old masters, we are not afraid, Latis, please speak.”
"Bin Laden is going to crash into the Twin Towers... Pshaw!" Latis shook his head, dispelling the déjà vu in his mind, and said with exaggerated gestures:
"This evening, a black-hat squad will take advantage of the chaos to blow up Green Vine Academy..."
"What?!" Walmart was shocked.
“...The nearby Dragon Research Association!” Latis said, slamming his hand on the table. He then took out a communicator and placed it on the table.
"I'm not pretending anymore, I am the mole infiltrating the Black Hat Squad!"
Chapter 112 PvP games are really too difficult
"What do you think?"
Walmart, holding a photo of the communicator, frowned and asked.
Richman silently tapped his fingers on the table one by one, and after a few minutes, he finally spoke:
"It's Lundia's magical technology, so why is it in the hands of the Black Hat organization?"
"You just believe him like that?" Fisherman scratched his head. "He's just a mid-level mage, you know? When I was a mid-level mage, I was still building blocks every day!"
"But he pulled out a communicator; we've all seen that kind of technology before." Walmart tossed a photo in front of Fisherman and said:
"Moreover, he is a confidant of Princess Slingk, not just a simple mid-level mage."
“Princess Slink?” Richman suddenly said, stroking his chin. “We did supply the capital with some magical technology products; perhaps he obtained them from Slink?”
"They're just messing with you because they have nothing better to do, aren't they?" Walmart said irritably.
"Regardless of his identity, we must pay close attention to his actions from now on. His actions may represent a covert power struggle between certain forces..."
"Does it really have to be this complicated?" Fisherman scratched his head and said, "If he suddenly had a brain fart and went into the women's restroom, we'd have to analyze the reasons behind it?"
"No way, no way." Walmart chuckled twice and said, "How could someone as handsome and well-mannered as Latis do something so strange?"
……
Latis walked out the door with a bewildered expression.
Just now, he thought the principals would be shocked and take immediate action, but after they looked at each other for a while, the Walmart principal actually chuckled twice and brought up the matter of keeping a sugar daddy to him!
Of course, Walmart's original statement was, "If you can consistently provide some incentives for the mid-level mages of the three schools, we can give you a certain reward." However, the implication was clearly that they were offering to support them.
