Prehistoric Calendar

Chapter 56 Second Order and Hell

(PS: The new episode starts, and Wu Ming is about to start on the official stage.)
A few days later, Wu Ming was on his way to the Magic Tower, thinking about a problem. This problem was related to his next series of actions. Although it would not conflict with the plan, it was at least related to his policy.

That is, it is better to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, or to expose your strength.

Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger has the advantages of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, that is, having enough hole cards and not attracting the attention of others. If there is no such thing as a saint, this is what Wu Ming has always done. Since coming to the business alliance In the end, he has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, hiding himself, and making a fortune secretly.

But pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger also has some disadvantages. For example, if you don’t show your strength, that is how to get others to respect you, or how to obtain a status that matches your strength?
In many novels that Wu Ming has read before, the protagonist is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. For example, he has a third-level strength, but his external performance does not even have a first-level strength. Provoking, then counter-killing, then shocking everyone, and then repeating it again, this kind of novel plot has its own good points, but if it happened in the real world, wouldn't it be asking for trouble for yourself?Unless there is a stronger enemy outside, and this enemy has been looking for your faults and cannot guess your strength, in this case it is the best choice to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

As for exposing your strength, it’s easy to understand. First, you can get social treatment, benefits, benefits, etc. that match your own strength. At the same time, you can also deter people around you, telling them that I am strong, don’t mess with me, and save a lot of trouble. .

But of course there are harms, the biggest harm is that you will become the focus of everyone, and everyone will study you, especially when you are extremely powerful, and even become a beacon in certain fields or regions, so you have Everyone will carefully interpret any action, and everyone will carefully analyze your hole cards. No matter where you are, unless you are getting stronger and stronger, and you will attract a group of people and knock down a group, thus forming a group and using the group to cover yourself , otherwise don't even think about having any secrets.

Wu Ming was thinking about these two points, but neither of these two points was what he wanted. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger would cause trouble and show his strength to attract attention. He hoped to be somewhere in between, showing his talent and strength while It feels like potential, not threat.

The best way is actually to show his potential and strength, and join the system. The business alliance system, he was born as an apprentice of a skeleton magician, and he is a ghost body, so joining it is not too difficult.

When Wu Ming walked into the magic tower, as expected, the skeleton magician reappeared in the hall of the tower and disappeared for fifteen days. In fact, this is only a short period of time for the magician, and it may even be a The magic experiment has not been finished yet, but Wu Ming can't deal with it with common sense.

Analytical talent in magic talent, this is the advantage before becoming a high-level magician. Whether it is a first-level magician or a second-level magician, the main evaluation criteria are the number of French skills and the strength of the French skills. , both of these are necessary, the former guarantees the magic diversity of the magician, and the latter guarantees the magic power of the magician. When both can be guaranteed, this is a second-level magician. Generally speaking, it is similar to ghosts. This kind of race that can absorb energy in essence can easily condense its magic power, but it cannot be used unless it is a magician.

And Wu Ming's analytical talent can easily analyze and memorize formulas. In other words, it is actually very easy for Wu Ming to be a first-tier magician and a second-tier magician. I thought it would take a few years, but now that I think about it carefully, it is not difficult to become a second-level magician in dozens of days.

Only at the beginning of the third level is it different. From the third level onwards, it belongs to a higher class. Although it is not a complete qualitative change, it has already entered the front end of the qualitative change. To start cultivating super magic skills, use magic with effects such as strengthening, speeding up, extreme effect, strengthening effect, or permanent attachment, etc., which involves the qualitative change and deformation of magic, etc., to achieve these It belongs to the third-tier magician, and the third-tier magician can generally crush the second-tier magician, that's why.

The skeleton magician is no longer waiting for Wu Ming's second-level magician, but hopes that within the time limit, Wu Ming will reach the third-level magician. With two third-level magicians, the possibility of its revenge and the achievement of its goals will increase greatly.

"Have you reached the second level?" The voice of the skeleton magician trembled slightly when he spoke, which did not match its usual calm and calm tone.

Wu Ming didn't seem to notice this, he just nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, thank you for the teacher's teaching, I have fully memorized the French formula, and my magic power has reached the standard of a second-level magician. I am now a second-level magician gone."

The skeleton magician looked at Wu Ming for at least four or five seconds before saying, "Follow me to the testing room, I need to test you."

At that moment, Wu Ming followed the skeleton magician to the test room, where he followed the skeleton magician's instructions and cast ten spells of various types in a row. After this step, he was already considered a second-level magician. Either way, or the amount of magic, it has reached the level of a second-tier magician.

At this point, Wu Ming originally thought that the skeleton magician would continue to test him and figure out his current strength and limit. Wu Ming had already made a plan. He planned to pretend that he could cast seventeen spells at most. At that step, the magic power of the disguise would be exhausted. , so that it will not be too conspicuous, but it also shows that he has reached the primary level of a second-level magician, which is enough to show his potential and strength.

But who knows that after the skeleton magician tested his ten spells, he stopped the test and stood there thinking about something. After a while, the skeleton magician said: "That's enough, you are indeed a second magician!" After reaching the second-level mature stage, you can use your magic knowledge to train and learn super-magic specialties, but this requires a magic tower. "

The skeleton magician pointed to his magic tower and said: "This is a five-story magic tower. It is reasonable to say that seven or eight magicians can use it together, but I don't like it. I like quietness, so I can't let you use this tower." The magic tower... I am willing to lend you [-] spirit stones without interest, and I can repay it within ten years. At the same time, I can help with the construction of your magic tower. The fee is only [-]% of the standard price. The rest of the money gap needs you I went to raise money by myself, but the territorial issue can start to operate now, and it can be completed in about half a month."

Wu Ming thought for a while and said, "Then I would like to thank the mentor, what do I need to do to apply for the purchase of the territory?"

The skeleton magician said: "I will apply for you first, and then after the application is approved, you need to go to the city hall to take a magician rank test. At that time, you can only cast ten or twelve magic spells, and you don't need to do your best." Even if the matter of the blood race is over, I will help you settle this point, and from now on, I will stand in the position of a third-level magician and wait for you to catch up."

"Thank you mentor...I will."

When Wu Ming left the magic tower, it was already approaching morning, and the skeleton magician gave Wu Ming almost a whole day of lectures, from super magic skills to super magic specialties, the composition of various specialties, the main points of training and learning , and the explanation of various advanced magic formulas, etc., the skeleton magician seems to wish to give all the magic knowledge to Wu Ming.

So after leaving the magic tower, Wu Ming could only smile wryly. He actually wasted the entire day, whether it was magic formulas or various super-magic knowledge, it might be life-threatening for others. Important things, but it is really meaningless to him, it is better to use this day to analyze some derived runes.

But the skeleton magician is kind after all, and Wu Ming will not refuse. After all, he is a magician in disguise. No matter how powerful his talent is, he must at least learn to understand it, right?
"However, with the [-] spiritual stones from my mentor, the time for me to accumulate wealth has been shortened by half. The results of the reconnaissance have also come out in the past few days. I have selected two chambers of commerce. Their branch locations in Jinhe City store The storage location of the spirit stones, etc., have been found out these days, and as for the charges...hehe."

When Wu Ming thought of this, a deep sneer appeared on his face, a smile that only appeared after he was extremely angry.

During the few days when he came to the Magic Tower, apart from refining magic equipment, Wu Ming basically spent the rest of the time on reconnaissance, such as the most famous chambers of commerce in Jinhe City, their wealth, their influence, Their security forces in Jinhe City, etc., were basically scouted out, and after doing this, Wu Ming scouted the human situation in their hands at the same time.

One of the chambers of commerce is slightly better. It is a food chamber of commerce. It has farms outside many cities in the business alliance, specializing in the sale of grains, dairy products, and meat products. The living standards of humans in this chamber of commerce are basically the same. In the serf class, they can't starve to death, eat enough, and wear warm clothes, but at least they won't be treated as experimental products, and they can barely be regarded as living on the level of intelligent creatures.

As for the two chambers of commerce selected by Wu Ming, one chamber of commerce is for pharmaceuticals. Although every city has superhumans, whether they are magicians, druids, or priests, they all have the ability to heal and restore , but extraordinary power is very expensive. In comparison, potions, medicines, etc. are much cheaper. Although they are also expensive, at least citizens in the city can still use them.

In addition to traditional medicines, goblins, high-level goblins, and gnomes are also good at chemical technology. They can produce various pills and medicines similar to the earth world through biological means, chemical means, etc., and these are huge profits. The same profiteering as the pharmaceutical companies in the earth world.

Of course, leaving aside the traditional pharmacy, goblins, high-level goblins, and gnomes need experimental products if they want to make new medicines, and what experimental products can compare to humans who are also intelligent creatures?
When Wu Ming scouted the medical building of the chamber of commerce, he saw hell inside.

Human hell...
