Lord Wizard

Chapter 92 Vulnerability

Lin Meng opened the post, filtered out comments like "first comment" or "left a mark," and quickly found some useful information.

"Is the original poster using clickbait? While Xuri has indeed developed rapidly in recent years, it's still a bit behind the established powerhouse Blue Flame. Don't forget that Blue Flame has its parent company backing it up."

"That's not necessarily true. They're talking about the Wizarding Division. The Sunrise Group poachs people everywhere with high salaries and has gathered a lot of talented people under its command. It's said that their treatment is much better than that of Blue Flame Company."

"Those who can be easily poached are the scattered and unskilled people that other companies look down on. Which company wouldn't cherish those experts who have the potential to break through to the wizard realm? Unfortunately, it's questionable whether people poached with big money can be used effectively. With this kind of abnormal development, Sunrise Group may not be able to have the last laugh."

The forum participants talked at length, as if they had already seen through the truth of the matter.

In a forum where everyone is a "keyboard wizard," companies like Sunrise Group and Blue Flame Company are naturally insignificant to them.

"The Sunrise Group is willing to spend a lot of money. If this investment fails, the entire group will be severely damaged. Just as Director Karin said before, if the Flame Tower can be completely destroyed, the Sunrise Group will most likely go bankrupt due to the break in its capital chain. However, these things are still far away from me. High-level power struggles are probably only something that formal wizards can get involved in after they become proficient."

Lin Meng saw things clearly.

but……

Formal wizards...

Now that he has established himself in the wizarding world, his strength will only grow stronger with each battle.

Just like a pay-to-win game, the more you spend, the more privileges you get. One day he will become a formal wizard like Ivan and personally make that young master of the Sunrise Group's chairman's family pay the price.

……

The Wizarding World.

Seeing that the situation in Carroll had calmed down, Linmon bid farewell to Viscount Krupp and embarked on his journey back to Solent.

With Viscount Krupp around, the city doesn't need him to personally oversee it.

Moreover, according to information circulating on the forum, Blue Flame Company is at a disadvantage in its battle against Sunrise Group...

It's likely that the company will assign new tasks soon, and he'll need to return to Solent City in advance to prepare for the battle.

The battle between Blue Flame Corporation and Sunrise Group has affected several countries, if he's lucky...

Maybe we can acquire a few more large territories.

The procession moves forward.

It was five days later when Lin Meng returned to Solent City.

He left with only a thousand elite troops, but returned with nearly two thousand.

After the two thousand men entered Solent, they quickly began intensive training.

In fact, it wasn't just Carroll and Solent; Winterhold, Viscount Evan, Ubabo, and Thorntown, all mobilized troops at Linmon's command and were being sent to Solent.

This army was the core force that Lin Meng planned to use to stir up trouble during the battle between the two companies.

However, integrating and training the army is not something that can be done overnight.

With no further developments from the company, Lin Meng decided to calm down and focus on meditating to condense natural energy and accumulate his own magical power, while simultaneously building a model for the Slow spell, hoping to advance to a second-class wizard apprentice as soon as possible.

……

While Lin Meng was preparing his troops in Solent City, news also came from Tianxing International.

They successfully secured the island for him.

Although the island has a land area of ​​only a few thousand square meters, it still covers more than 400 square kilometers including the sea area.

Thanks to the experience gained from the previous collaboration, this collaboration went very smoothly.

After the contract was signed, Lin Meng immediately felt the changes in his mental world.

"good!"

Lin Meng clenched his fist tightly, looking at the phantom map that appeared in his mental world, his face showing both surprise and joy.

Buying an island of hundreds of square kilometers often costs tens of millions of dollars. If it has good resources and convenient transportation, it may cost tens of millions of dollars.

But the prices are different for those small islands that are only a few thousand square meters.

Each one costs between several hundred thousand and several million, making them ten times cheaper, while their area is not necessarily much smaller than those large islands that are hundreds of square meters.

"This is practically a bug! I can use these islands to quickly boost my physical abilities in the real world!"

Lin Meng quickly calculated in his mind: "I enhanced my physical attributes from Apprentice Knight to Grand Knight, which occupied 120,000 square kilometers. According to the International Convention on the Law of the Sea, an island with territorial waters must be at least 400 square kilometers in area. I'll calculate it at an average price of one million..."

Upon realizing this, his expression stiffened slightly.

Three hundred million!

This is no small amount.

However, compared to spending at least several billion previously, if he tries his luck in the Wizarding World, he might not be without hope.

"A wizard can often secretly control a country, which can provide him with millions, or even tens of millions, of gold coins every year. If these gold coins are converted into cultivation materials and sold to companies of all sizes, the annual income would be tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions... This is just the income from secretly controlling a country. If other income is also included..."

Lin Meng weighed the options in his mind.

If I could become a formal wizard...

Three hundred million is still something to dream about.

"The Great Knight... breaks the limits of human endurance..."

Lin Meng was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of changes he would experience in his life once he truly strengthened his physique to this extent.

and……

The Great Knight is not the limit.

As long as he has enough territory, his physical body can continue to be strengthened.

All attributes are 5, 10, 20, or even higher...

Perhaps, in the future, when I've bought enough islands, I can...

Founding a nation!?

Then, with the full strength of the nation, launch a manned spacecraft to land on an alien planet?

I wonder if, when he sets foot on an alien planet that no one has ever set foot on before, he will be able to turn the entire planet into his territory, thereby obtaining a huge feedback from the fragments of the world...

Lin Meng's thoughts wandered for a while before he finally came back to them.

He shook his head, suppressing the tempting idea for the time being.

The Grand Knights are still a long way off.

Only a handful of countries in the world have the capability to land on an alien planet.

Right now, he should be more down-to-earth.

Lin Meng's focus was concentrated on the layer of fluorescent light that appeared above the island...

Soon, the fluorescent light was drawn in and seeped into his body.

A moment later, he felt his physical strength increase again.

"Unfortunately... this territory of about four hundred square kilometers didn't allow me to break through to the Knight level..."

Lin Meng stretched himself a little, feeling a bit regretful.

A knight-level physique is probably already at the pinnacle of this world, coupled with his mastery of fist techniques and swordsmanship...

Even if the Wizarding World were to suddenly shut down due to some accident, he could still live well and make money to continue strengthening it using the fragments of the world.

"funds."

Lin Meng glanced at his bank account balance, which had plummeted back to six figures...

This amount of money isn't even enough to buy a decent car.

"War is the fastest way to make money in the wizarding world. Now, all we have to do is wait for the flames of war between the Rising Sun Group and the Blue Flame Company to spread to the Kingdom of Aden and the Kingdom of Frost..."
