Lord Wizard

Chapter 64 Promotion

"Five hundred thousand!?"

"The person in charge of the Kingdom of Aden has become a powerful regional governor, with jurisdiction over the entire area. How much profit can he make from it? Earning millions a year is a piece of cake."

"I remember Lin Meng joined the company not long ago, how come he's risen so quickly?"

The crowd below erupted in uproar, their gazes towards Lin Meng filled with envy.

Many women from departments such as logistics, finance, and accounting had their eyes light up when they saw Lin Meng, who was earning millions a year at such a young age. He was a bachelor with unlimited potential.

Seeing this, Karen was quite satisfied.

That's exactly the effect the company wanted.

Recently, the country has relaxed its strict restrictions on the "Wizard World" as before, and instead, it has followed the example of other countries and opened up to it, which has attracted many domestic corporate capital to flock to the Wizard World.

Under these circumstances, the Blue Flame Group, having gained an early advantage, naturally could not miss the opportunity and was thinking of taking advantage of the situation to rise up.

The fact that the number of people in the game department doubled in just six months speaks volumes.

Because a large number of new people were recruited, they naturally needed someone as a role model in order to motivate these new people. In addition, Lin Meng made great contributions in the battle of the Kingdom of Aden, so he was naturally promoted and directly governed a region, becoming a regional governor.

In comparison, the small amount of money awarded is nothing.

"Directly responsible for a country..."

Lin Meng was also somewhat alarmed by the news brought by Director Kailin.

Becoming the deputy captain of the third squad and being directly responsible for a country may sound like it doesn't have much power, but in reality, there is a lot to be done.

Being in charge of a country naturally means being responsible for contacting the mysterious organization behind Blue Flame Company. Once contact is made with the mysterious organization, it's as if you can raise the banner of the mysterious organization, and at critical moments you can even ask a formal wizard to step in.

The weight of a formal wizard...

The royal families of countries like the Kingdom of Aden, the Kingdom of Frost, and the Kingdom of Sariye all had to obediently serve and pay tribute to them.

Furthermore, with the banner of the Mystic in place, the local nobles of the Kingdom of Aden who also wanted to enter the world of the Mystic naturally had to curry favor with him and flatter him; this was the foundation of their connections.

This kind of covert influence...

It's immeasurable!

"Now let's give a warm round of applause to Lin Meng as he comes to the stage to receive his award."

Karin said with a smile.

Congratulations.

Ryan and Nero both smiled and bowed to Lin Meng.

"Thank you, thank you."

Lin Meng thanked them as he went up on stage.

After accepting the trophy from Ms. Yibin, he briefly said into the microphone, "Thank you to the company and everyone for your concern. I will definitely continue to work hard to pacify the Kingdom of Aden as soon as possible, discover enough wizard seeds, and contribute my strength to the development and construction of the company."

After Lin Meng stepped down from the stage, Karin, who was in charge of hosting the brief awards ceremony, continued to announce: "Nero, as a long-time employee of the company, has worked diligently and provided the company headquarters with several excellent wizard seeds. He also played an irreplaceable role in the war against the Rising Sun. Now, the company has decided to appoint Nero as the captain of the Fourth Squad. We hope that he can lead our Fourth Squad to create brilliance for the company's business once again."

Many long-time employees of the company remember Nero. He is steady and reliable in his work, and his management skills and abilities are not bad. He is one of the best among all the vice-captains. Although he has been parachuted into the fourth squad, no one is surprised by this appointment.

Even the vice-captains of the fourth squad did not have much of a negative attitude.

"Thank you for the trust the company leaders have placed in me. I will certainly live up to the company's expectations and do my best to make the fourth team even better."

The crowd below applauded.

The fourth squad, in particular, did their best to impress Nero, their newly appointed superior.

After Nero came down, several vice-captains gathered around to express their approval and support for the new captain.

"Next, we announce an important decision by the board of directors. From now on, the war between the company and Rising Sun has entered a full-scale outbreak phase. This is not only at the knight level, but also in the Central Continent. Our Blue Flame's 'Light of the Sky' and Rising Sun's 'Flame Tower' have entered war mode. Therefore, the recycling price of all materials on the resource list will increase by 30%, and the mission points will be doubled. In addition, the wizard talent test, which was originally held every six months, will be changed to once every quarter. Anyone who tests and obtains a aptitude of level three or above can enter 'Light of the Sky' to study without paying the quota fee."

After Nero stepped down, Karen announced two more bombshells.

"So, all-out war has finally broken out... We need to be careful from now on."

"A 30% increase in recycling prices? Doubled points? As long as we complete more company tasks, we're bound to enter a period of rapid growth in our capabilities."

"Third-class qualifications allow you to enter 'Light of the Sky' for free without having to redeem a spot through points. Haha, this is great news."

This news was relevant to everyone, and the crowd immediately began to discuss it.

The addition of the Light of the Sky to the system, in particular, has greatly inspired many people.

The Light of the Sky is the wizarding organization behind Blue Flame, with several wizards in charge.

Previously, members of Blue Flame Company who wanted to enter the Light of the Sky either had to exchange a large number of points for an entry slot, or possess fourth-class aptitude or become a third-class apprentice themselves.

With the standards now relaxed, some people who originally wanted to make a name for themselves in the path of wizardry but were limited by the number of places now have the hope of entering the Light of the Sky for further study as soon as possible.

"The first squad is going to be busy for a while now."

After chatting with the members of the fourth squad for a while, Nero returned to the table where Lin Meng, Ryan, and the others were.

"They were previously responsible for simple tasks such as recycling supplies, testing qualifications, and organizing liaisons, so it's good to keep them busy for a while now."

Ryan laughed.

"The first squad is different from us. They are the company's main force, either second or third-class apprentices or great knights. They are the chosen ones who will enter the Light of the Sky after a short transition. Of course, we can't compare to them."

Qiao Fei, another deputy captain of the third squad, said.

"I had dealings with them when I handed over supplies before, and they seemed quite easy to talk to, not so aloof."

After Lin Meng finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass on the table and clinked it against Nero's: "Congratulations."

Congratulations! Congratulations!

Nero responded with a smile.

Becoming the captain of the fourth squad was a promotion and a raise, so he was naturally in a good mood.

"Lin Meng, now that you've become the vice-captain, do you think we should recruit some combat personnel from the second-line staff to supplement your team? Or you can recruit some new people if you prefer. The situation in the Kingdom of Aden... can't be described as peaceful."

"I'll keep an eye on it."

Lin Meng nodded.

The captain of Blue Flame Group would be considered a manager in other companies, second only to the director. The deputy captain would be equivalent to the deputy manager, and naturally, they would have some people under their command.
