As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 273 Report
“What we need to do is find a balance amidst such drastic changes.

The situation is currently under control, and there are already various speculations among the people.

We have also made various plans for after the announcement, and we cannot wait until things get out of control before announcing it.”

After magic was discovered in London, the entire state machinery began to operate rapidly, and the main core departments all formulated relevant plans.

If everyone knew the current situation in London, how would we respond?

Of course, not everyone in the core department will know about it, only the person in charge will know and come up with an emergency plan.

From top to bottom, everyone who knew about this matter knew very well that London magic could not be concealed forever.

They have discovered the internal law, which is that when talent and inner desire reach a certain level, one will master magic in different ways.

London believes that the talent here refers to magical talent, which actually refers to the degree of fit with the magic network.

The magic network can mobilize a limited amount of spellcasting capacity. When the authority is open to everyone, how to judge the strength of the spellcasting ability depends on the degree of compatibility between you and the magic network.

The same magic will be more powerful when it is released in the hands of someone with a high degree of compatibility.

London also discovered the latter point.

Before, as long as you were a "magician", you could get a job as a civil servant in the relevant institutions in London.

Now you need to go through screening, and your spellcasting ability needs to meet certain conditions.

If your spellcasting ability is not sufficient, you will be marked as a key focus and then let go.

At the same time, the social media and communication devices of exposed mages will be highly monitored to prevent you from leaking magic-related information.

London's anomaly is no longer a secret to many people.

Especially within Internet giants like FB, Twitter, Google, and Apple, the occurrence of magical events in London has become a fact recognized by their top management.

There is no other way. We have to cooperate with these Internet giants to block news on the Internet.

For example, Facebook owns not only the social media FB, but also a series of mainstream overseas software such as Instagram and WhatsApp.

A large amount of magic-related information is posted on these apps. If Facebook does not cooperate, the English government or even the European Union alone will not be able to block the news.

Google is both a search engine in a narrow sense and a giant in a broad sense. It also owns platforms such as YouTube.

Internet giants are already deploying troops to England.

Although England and the European Union have warned these Internet giants not to act rashly.

Even the Europa League announced that all visitors who want to enter the Europa League will have their ETIAS systems reviewed again.

ETLAS is somewhat similar to the electronic visa system and will be implemented at the end of 2022.

After activation, even citizens of countries that can visit the European Union without a visa will need to obtain an authorization permit through ETLAS.

Only after the authorization license is passed can you enter the European Union.

Previously, it was valid for three years after obtaining the authorization license.

After the London Magic incident, the Europa League cancelled all valid licenses, meaning you need to apply again.

But this small obstacle can't stop the enthusiasm of the giants.

You have to know that they have many employees in England and even throughout Europe.

Take Google as an example, the number of its employees is over 10,000.

(The above data is based on what Google CEO Pichai said in an interview in 2019. They have employees in Dublin.

And they have 4,000 employees in Ireland, so these two combined alone add up to over 10,000)
Therefore, the Internet giants have the confidence and urgent desire to find out the essence of the magical events in London.

These Internet giants have been deeply rooted in London for many years. For example, FB’s headquarters is in London.

It has access to massive amounts of data and first-hand information on public opinion about the entire incident.

They even figured out the peculiarities of magical events in London.

It's said that magic only works in London.

"Please believe us. As long as you are willing to go back to America with us, we will pay you a huge amount of rice as a reward."

"How huge is it? Please give me a specific number."

"Ten million Mi Yuan."

"Let me think about it again."

The better ones will use real money to lure them, and if they are unscrupulous, there are other means.

For example, the Russian staff active in London are much ruder.

And in bringing new wizards back to America, not only American Internet giants are taking action, but the American government is also taking action.

With the cooperation of both parties, the information control of the Europa League is actually in the hands of America.

In other words, in terms of the right to know information, America and the Europa League are similar, and some even know more.

Through the cooperation between the two parties, more than a dozen new mages have been brought in.

Originally, the new wizards were able to cast spells by relying on the magic network. If they didn't say it themselves and didn't cast spells when they were away from home, no one would know they were wizards.

Since people who can have a better fit with the magic network have stronger spirits, it means that they are likely to have received a good education and have a certain IQ.

At the same time, it is almost impossible for Internet giants to lure them with blank checks.

Even if they are really persuaded, they will not go with them until they see the money.

As for money, even in today's world where cryptocurrencies are so developed, regulation of cryptocurrencies is seriously insufficient.

When the American government and the giants colluded with each other and brought back the new wizards from London, they found that their efforts were in vain.

These so-called wizards can only cast spells in London.

At the same time, the various indicators and chemical substances in their bodies are no different from those of ordinary people.

The American side spent more than 100 million Euros in exchange for this magical event being valid only within London.

But they don’t feel they’ve lost out.

“This is great news, London is definitely unique.

This will cause this phenomenon.

What we need to do now is to find the essence behind this phenomenon.

This is a greater challenge, which also means that what lies behind it is more valuable.

It doesn't matter even if all the hidden agents in London or even Brussels are mobilized.

These are resources that can be cultivated, and if this opportunity is missed, it may be lost forever.”

On the international stage, there are many things that America can do but China cannot.

Even if there really is a Prism project, the Europa League would just make a few remarks.

There has never been any evidence that Hua Wei has engaged in any eavesdropping, but Hua Wei is still subject to various censorship and strict restrictions.

Therefore, China’s attitude towards the London magical incident is very clear. I will just wait and see and not express my opinion.

Just collecting information, but not taking the initiative to do anything. After his vacation, Song Zhiwen still stayed in London.

It is because of this magical event.

He gained the ability to cast spells and became a so-called wizard.

Before he became a wizard, he already felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in London.

Aircraft were grounded, routes were diverted, the English stock market experienced violent fluctuations, and a large amount of funds flowed out of London.

As an executive of Kechuang Future, he also gave a good performance at the Kechuang Biotechnology London launch conference.

Therefore, he was able to know a lot of information.

Even if he didn't have the right to know before, because of his performance this time, some people were willing to reveal it to him.

"The water elemental attack you encountered in London this time will not be an isolated case. There are signs that magic will appear in London on a small scale.

If you are on holiday, try not to be in London, and if you are in London, don’t go around at night.”

This was the warning given to Song Zhiwen by a senior executive at Tencent that he was familiar with.

After Song Zhiwen secretly took it to heart, the adventurous factor in his heart took over again.

If it weren't for his adventurous personality, he wouldn't have chosen to use the water element at the London press conference to maintain the company's image.

Song Zhiwen has been in the workplace for many years and knows that promotion always depends on whether you have the courage to fight at the critical moment.

This is especially true for people without background.

The magic is right in front of us, it's time to give it a try.

Ke Chuang Biotechnology is able to mine magic coins. Ke Chuang Future also belongs to the Ke Chuang Biotechnology system, and its status in the Ke Chuang Biotechnology system is not low.

However, according to Song Zhiwen's position in the Ke Chuang Bio system, it will never be his turn in this lifetime.

“Take a two-month vacation, give it a try, and if nothing works, give up.”

With this idea in mind, Song Zhiwen explored the streets and alleys of London.

Because the magic network only looks at the degree of compatibility and the degree of persistence in magic.

Song Zhiwen met these two conditions very well, and was recognized by Magic Network before the first month was over.

Zheng Li, who was far away in Kuala Lumpur, was quite moved that Song Zhiwen actually worked for him.

I also have to work for his vest in private.

Zheng Li wondered what Song Zhiwen would do if he knew that the magic he obtained in this way was only effective in London.

After the two-month vacation given to Song Zhiwen by Ke Chuang Future, Song Zhiwen had just mastered the basic spells taught by the Magic Network.

Likewise, he had received the suggestion that only individuals with wands could possess greater spellcasting abilities.

After Song Zhiwen returned to China, he found that the magic he had learned was of no use in the country.

"Is London the only one who can cast spells?"

"China is in the last days of the Dharma era? Has the spiritual energy revival started in London?"

Countless doubts flashed through Song Zhiwen's mind.

At this point in time, Li Miaomiao just obtained the magic brain from Zheng Li and was in the process of transforming into a magician.

Song Zhiwen was struggling over whether to report the news and decided to cooperate with Ke Chuang Bio.

Zheng Li has a good image in the outside world and also in the company.

Even as a senior executive, Song Zhiwen had never heard of any dark history of Zheng Li.

Besides, Zheng Li is a mage himself, so there is no need to covet his opportunity.

Song Zhiwen finally chose to report the news. He hoped that Kechuang Bio could transfer him to the London branch as the head.

It is equivalent to being transferred from the vice president of Kechuang Future to the head of the London branch.

For those who have no ambition to move up in career, the work intensity in the London branch is lower and the pay is even better, making it a good choice.

The downside is that you are too far away from the headquarters and you will hardly be considered for promotion.

But for Song Zhiwen, who has experienced the beauty of magic and no longer cares much about worldly fame and fortune, being transferred to London is his best choice.

"Mr. Li, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule. I came to you this time because I have something very important to tell you."

Because there are too many things to do, executives rarely have the opportunity to meet with Li Miaomiao alone unless they are notified.

Generally, this requires advance reservation via internal email.

Li Miaomiao has been focusing most of her attention on the 2025 annual report and her upcoming career as a wizard, so she is bound to be slack about other matters.

She smiled and said, “You performed very well at the London press conference. I should have taken the initiative to meet you after you came back and expressed encouragement to you from the company level.

But I've been really busy lately, so I had to wait until you came to me so that I could have the opportunity to express my company's gratitude to you.

If you hadn’t insisted on facing the magic on stage, the overseas public opinion on Kechuang Future and the next generation of brain-computer connection VR products would have been very passive. "

After Li Miaomiao finished what she wanted to say, she said, "Zhiwen, you can talk about the important thing you want to say now."

Li Miaomiao could sense that the other party did have something to say, and the sound of his heartbeat reflected that he was very uneasy.

"Mr. Li, I learned some magic during my time in London, and I also found that the magic I learned in London can only be performed in London.

After returning home, the magic I had mastered lost its effect, and I became an ordinary person again."

Li Miaomiao sat up straight instantly and said, "Do you mind recording it? I will only record it for Zheng Li to listen to.

Since you are in the company and reported this to me as a boss and subordinate, I can assume that this is not a private matter.

Since it is not a private matter, Zheng Li has the right to know.

In order to avoid unnecessary information loss caused by my relaying, I will relay it to Zheng Li through a recording. "

The more times like this, the calmer Li Miaomiao becomes.

Li Miaomiao quickly realized from the information revealed by Song Zhiwen that this might contain the fundamental reason behind the water element encountered at the Science and Technology Future London Conference.

Song Zhiwen also wanted to report directly to Zheng Li, but the problem was that he couldn't make an appointment with Zheng Li at all.

As a vice president specializing in marketing and also the vice president of a subsidiary company, he had no chance to report to Zheng Li individually.

There is not even the opportunity for a private remote video conference.

Song Zhiwen nodded and said, "I don't mind. Mr. Zheng is a senior mage, and I also want to get some opinions and suggestions from him."

After finishing speaking, Li Miaomiao took out the special recording equipment provided to her by the Chinese government, and then said:
"Because this matter is very important, we need to put the mobile phone outside the office, and I will turn on the signal jammer."

After all preparations were completed, Li Miaomiao gestured:
“You can start now, focusing on how you mastered magic and what specific spells you learned.

And how you found yourself unable to cast spells after leaving London.

Is this range Greater London or London City? How did you determine the specific range?

You can start from the beginning and talk slowly. I have already told my secretary when I left just now that all the meetings this afternoon have been postponed."
