Lord Wizard

Chapter 63 Rewards

the next day.

Game Department.

Lin Meng and Nero went to the banquet together.

The banquet was held in the banquet hall downstairs at Blue Flame Company. As the banquet was about to start, the game department employees, who were originally staying at home or in their apartments, put on formal attire and gathered in groups of three or five with their familiar members. Although there were nearly two hundred people in the room, the atmosphere was not very lively.

The members of the gaming club spend most of their time in the Wizarding World. Not to mention members of other teams, they rarely get together even within their own team, and each person's social circle is extremely limited.

For example, Lin Meng and Nero had a good relationship, but as for the others, they were just nodding acquaintances.

The purpose of holding this banquet is twofold: firstly, the board of directors seems to have some decision to announce, and secondly, it also serves as an opportunity for everyone to network and avoid employees from the same company not recognizing each other.

"I heard that not only our third team members attended the banquet, but also quite a few members from the fourth and second teams."

"oh."

Lin Meng glanced at it.

The offices of the second and fourth squads are on the other side, and they rarely communicate with the third squad. The second squad controls the Kingdom of Sariel and the countries to the north.

As for the fourth squad, it was established relatively recently and its members are scattered. Its strength is far inferior to that of the second and third squads, and even the position of squad leader is currently undecided.

"Besides the other team members, there are also quite a few ladies in charge of logistics, administration, and finance who are here. You should seize the opportunity."

"I'm not in a hurry. But you, when are you going to settle your personal life? You're not really planning to spend your whole life with your two wives from the wizarding world, are you?"

Lin Meng said jokingly.

Nero scoffed, "What's wrong with that? If you ask me, while the women in the wizarding world may be of lower quality than those in the real world—after all, food and living standards are limited—they are gentle, virtuous, and obedient to us. Unlike women in the real world, have you heard of the legendary new version of 'Three Obediences and Four Virtues'? Of course, most importantly... you know."

Hearing his words, Lin Meng was somewhat speechless, and after a moment, he said, "That's the wizarding world after all!"

"Is there any difference?"

Nero smiled.

"You wouldn't... confuse the two worlds, would you?"

Lin Meng said solemnly, "Not long ago, a report was released on the forum. It is said that the severity of damage after a game character dies is related to two factors: one is the strength of one's mental state, and the other is the degree of immersion in the 'Wizarding World.' Mental state and thinking are too idealistic. Once one is immersed in the Wizarding World and cannot distinguish between the Wizarding World and the real world, and completely immerses one's consciousness in the Wizarding World, a sudden death will cause the mind to be unable to accept it and will lead to a complete collapse. In severe cases..."

"die……"

Nero chimed in, then laughed and said, "Alright, just kidding. Seeing how serious you are, how could I not distinguish between the wizarding world and the real world and get so immersed in it?"

After saying that, he glanced around and noticed many unfamiliar faces. He then changed the subject, saying, "The company has been doing quite well lately, and we've recruited quite a few new people."

"Yes, I saw a report a while ago. The number of front-line and second-line staff in the game department has exceeded 260. If you include the logistics and other departments, it's 400 or 500. The expansion is significant."

As Lin Meng spoke, he sighed, "Although I've only been with the company for half a year, I'm considered a veteran employee."

"Six months... I almost forgot. You've only been with the company for six months, but what you've accomplished in six months is something many veteran employees can't match even after five or six years. From a destitute noble whose territory was taken away to a legendary baron, the territory you occupy is no less than that of a marquis. Haha, now you've also taken over Solent City. I'm very curious to know how the so-called noble council of the Frost Kingdom will bestow titles upon you..."

Nero said with a smile.

"Haha, I agree with that. Look at your current achievements. Even Guren and Anlis, who joined the company at the same time as you, are too embarrassed to show their faces in front of you."

A cheerful voice came from behind Lin Meng, and then Captain Ryan and his personal assistant came over with wine glasses.

"The captain is here."

Nero laughed and said, "Lin Meng is not only quite capable, but his cultivation speed is also frightening. You know, we had a brief sparring session in the Wizarding World yesterday, and he actually fought me to a draw. Moreover, I could tell that he hadn't even used his full strength."

"You talk as if you're giving it your all."

Lin Meng then added a sentence.

"Even if Nero wasn't going all out, it's still quite impressive that you could fight him to a draw. He's a high-ranking Grand Knight. How long did it take Nero and me to reach that level back then? About five years, I guess."

Ryan exclaimed.

"It's five years and four months."

Upon hearing Nero's words, Lin Meng's heart stirred.

Five years and four months...

Nero has been with the company for seven and a half years.

In other words, he was a high-ranking Grand Knight two years ago, and he is still a high-ranking Grand Knight now, no wonder he still wants to try his hand at the path of wizardry despite his lack of wizarding talent.

Previously, without relying on the fragments of the world, he cultivated on his own, but after a full half month, he hadn't even increased his attributes by 0.1, which made him somewhat impatient. Not to mention Nero's situation of making almost no progress in two years.

"The banquet is about to begin. You two get ready; you're the stars of the show today."

Ryan said.

"Okay, let's go."

Seeing that Karin had arrived at the center of the stage, Nero and Lin Meng sat down at a round table in the front row of the banquet hall.

Karen tested the sound.

The room quickly fell silent.

As the director of the game department, Karin is usually kind and gentle, almost like a butler, but she is highly respected by all the teams.

"Good evening, everyone in our game department. Um, I'll just take a few minutes of your time."

Karin spoke without much preamble, getting straight to the point: "Today's banquet is just an aside from announcing the board's order; the main purpose is to celebrate our victory. Three days ago, our first confrontation with the Sunrise Group ended, and as for the result... I'm sure you all know."

Everyone had smiles on their faces.

This resounding victory has indeed become the hottest topic in their gaming department since yesterday.

"In this battle, we successfully eliminated three Grand Knights and over ten Knights from the Rising Sun Group, effectively curbing their arrogance. And the one who accomplished this feat was Lin Meng from the Third Squad!"

After Karin finished speaking, she gestured towards Lin Meng with her hand.

Lin Meng stood up and nodded slightly to everyone.

His standing up immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

"That's Lin Meng? I know the vice-captain of the third squad, there's no one named Lin Meng. Could he be just an ordinary member?"

"That can't be right. I heard that Herris is the captain of a squad in the Rising Sun Group, and he's been famous for a long time. Could it be that the Third Squad is so strong that even ordinary members can kill a captain-level figure from the Rising Sun Group?"

"He seems quite handsome."

A murmur of discussion immediately arose from the crowd.

Hearing the people around them talking about Lin Meng, Leanna, Guren, and the others, who were also in the third squad, felt ashamed and incredulous.

I just learned a while ago that Lin Meng had broken through to become a Grand Knight and had also driven Eric and Liya, who wanted to seize his business, out of Blue Flame. I never expected that a few days later he would actually go to the Kingdom of Aden and wipe out the stronghold of Heris, a general under the Sunrise Group, and even killed Heris, a captain-level figure.

Leona recalled that she had previously wanted to compete with Lin Meng for the title of "Rookie of the Year," but now it seemed...

The next base is not in the world.

"In view of Lin Meng's outstanding performance and contributions, the company has officially decided to appoint Lin Meng as the person in charge of the Kingdom of Aden, overseeing all matters of the company in the Kingdom of Aden. At the same time, he has been appointed as the deputy captain of the third squad, his salary level has been increased by one level, and he has been awarded a cash bonus of 500,000."
