(ps: A new episode has begun, and Wu Ming is about to take the official stage.)

A few days later, Wu Ming was walking on the way to the Magic Tower, thinking about a question. This question was related to his next series of actions. Although it would not conflict with the plan, it was at least related to his course of action.

That means it's better to pretend to be a pig and eat the 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, it has enough trump cards and does not attract the attention of others. If there is no such thing as a holy position, 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, hiding himself, and secretly making a fortune.

But there are some disadvantages to pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. For example, if you don't show your strength, how do you get others to respect you, or how do you obtain a status that matches your strength?

Like in many novels Wu Ming has read before, the protagonist is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. For example, if he has third-level strength, but his external performance is not even first-level strength, then naturally everyone underestimates him, and then the protagonist just waits for the second-level fool to come up.

Provocation, then counter-attack, shocking everyone, and then repeating it again. Such a novel plot naturally has its beauty, but if it happened in the real world, wouldn't this be causing trouble for yourself? Unless there is a stronger external force.

The enemy, and this enemy is always looking for your faults and cannot guess your strength. In this case, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger is the best choice.

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

.

But of course there are also disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that you will become the focus of everyone and everyone will study you. Especially if you are extremely powerful, you may even become a benchmark in some fields or areas. In that way, you will have

Any action, everyone will carefully analyze your trump card, and everyone will carefully analyze which step you have reached, unless you become stronger and stronger, and win over a group of people, defeat a group of people, thus forming a group, and use 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 them was what he wanted. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger would cause trouble, and show off his strength to attract attention. He hoped to be somewhere in between, showing both talent and strength, and

It feels like potential, not threat.

The best way is actually to join the system after showing potential and strength. The system of the business alliance, considering that he was born as an apprentice of a skeleton magician and he is a ghost body, joining it is not a big problem.

When Wu Ming walked into the magic tower, as expected, the skeleton magician appeared again in the hall of the tower. After fifteen days of absence, this was actually only a short period of time for the magician, maybe even a short period of time.

The magic experiment has not been completed yet, but Wu Ming cannot deal with it with common sense.

Among the magic talents, the analytical talent is an 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 spells and the power of the spells.

, both 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 a ghost.

This kind of race that can absorb energy by nature can easily condense magic power, but it's just that you can't use it unless you are a magician.

As for Wu Ming's analytical talent, he can easily analyze and memorize formulas. In other words, it is actually very easy for Wu Ming to be a first-level magician and a second-level magician. Before, the skeleton magician did not understand the incredible power of analysis at all, so

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 the third level is different. Starting from the third level, it belongs to the high-level profession. Although it is not a complete qualitative change, it has entered the front end of the qualitative change. Starting from the third level, in addition to memorizing magic formulas and accumulating magic power, magicians can also do more.

To start practicing metamagic expertise, you need to use magic to strengthen, speed up, be extremely effective, powerful, or permanently attached, etc., which involves the qualitative change and deformation of magic, etc. Only by doing this can you

It belongs to the third-level magician, and the third-level magician can generally crush the second-level magician, that's why.

Skeleton Magician is no longer waiting for Wu Ming to reach the second level, but hopes that Wu Ming will reach the third level magician within the time limit. With two third-level magicians, the possibility of its revenge and achieving its goals will be greatly increased.

"Have you reached the second level?" The skeleton magician's voice was slightly trembling when he spoke, which was inconsistent with his usual cold and calm tone.

Wu Ming didn't seem to notice this. He just nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, thank you for your mentor's teaching. I have memorized all the French formulas completely, and my magic power has reached the standard of a second-level magician. I am now a second-level magician."

Already."

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

At that moment, Wu Ming followed the skeleton magician to the testing room, where he followed the skeleton magician's instructions and cast ten consecutive spells of various types. After reaching this point, he was already considered a second-level magician, regardless of the power of magic.

Regardless of the amount of magic, he has reached the level of a second-level magician.

At this point, Wu Ming thought that the skeleton magician would continue to test him and calculate his current strength and limits. Wu Ming had already made plans. He planned to pretend that he could cast up to seventeen magic spells. At that point, the disguised magic power would be exhausted.

, this will not be too conspicuous, but it also shows that he has reached the elementary level of a second-level magician, which is enough to show his potential and strength.

But who knew that after the skeleton magician tested his ten magic spells, he stopped testing and stood there thinking about something. After a while, the skeleton magician said: "That's enough. You are indeed a second-level magician."

After reaching the second level of maturity, you can use your magic knowledge to train and learn metamagic expertise, but this requires a magic tower.

"

The skeleton magician pointed to his magic tower and said: "This is my five-story magic tower. Logically speaking, it can be used by seven or eight magicians at the same time. But I don't like it. I like peace and quiet, so I can't let you use this tower."

Magic Tower... I am willing to lend you 10,000 spirit stones without interest, and I can pay you back within ten years. At the same time, I can help you build your Magic Tower. The fee is only 80% of the standard price. You will need the remaining money.

I went to raise it myself, but the territorial issue can start to work now, and it will be settled in about half a month."

Wu Ming thought for a while and said: "Thank you very much, mentor. Is there anything you need from me to apply for purchasing the territory?"

The skeleton magician said: "I will help you apply first, and then after the application is approved, you will need to go to the city hall to take a magician level test. At that time, you can only cast eleven or twelve magic spells. No need.

Do your best... Even if the vampire thing is over, I will help you settle this. 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 do it."

By the time Wu Ming left the magic tower, it was already approaching morning. The skeleton magician gave Wu Ming almost a whole day of lectures, from metamagic techniques to metamagic expertise, the composition of various expertise, and the key points of training and learning.

, as well as explanations of various advanced magic techniques, etc., the skeleton magician seemed eager to give Wu Ming all the magic knowledge.

So after leaving the magic tower, Wu Ming could only smile bitterly. He had actually wasted all this whole day, whether it was magic formulas or various super-magic knowledge. To others, it might be more valuable than his life.

It's something important, but it's really meaningless to him. He might as well use this day to analyze some derivative runes.

But the skeleton magician has good intentions after all, and Wu Ming will not refuse. After all, he is a pretend magician. No matter how talented he is, he still needs to learn to understand it, right?

"But with my mentor's ten thousand spiritual stones, the time it takes me to accumulate wealth has been shortened by half. The reconnaissance results have come out in the past few days. Two chambers of commerce have been selected. Their branches in Jinhe City have stored

The location of the storage warehouse of the spirit stones, etc., have been found out these days, and as for the crime... haha."

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

During the few days he came to the Magic Tower, in addition to refining magic tools, Wu Ming basically spent the rest of the time on reconnaissance, such as the most famous chambers of commerce in Jinhe City, their wealth, and their power.

Their security forces in Jinhe City and so on were basically detected. After completing this, Wu Ming also investigated the human condition in their hands.

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 and specializes in selling grains, dairy products, meat products, etc. The living standards of the humans in this chamber of commerce are basically the same.

For the serf class, they could not starve to death, could not eat enough, and could not wear warm clothes, but at least they would not be treated as experimental subjects, and they could barely live at the level of intelligent creatures.

Of the two chambers of commerce selected by Wu Ming, one deals with pharmaceuticals. Although there are extraordinary people in every city, whether they are magicians, druids, or priests, they all have the ability to treat and repair.

, but extraordinary power is very expensive. In comparison, potions, medicines, etc. are much cheaper. Although they are also expensive, at least the citizens in the city can still use them.

In addition to traditional potions, these three races, goblins, high goblins, and dwarfs, are also good at chemical technology. Through biological means, chemical means, etc., they can produce various pills and potions similar to those on the earth, and these are huge profits.

The same huge profits as the pharmaceutical companies in the earth world.

Of course, leaving aside traditional pharmacy, if goblins, high goblins, and dwarves want to create new medicines, they naturally need experimental products, and what other experimental products can be as good as humans who are also intelligent creatures?

When Wu Ming inspected the medical building of the Chamber of Commerce, he saw hell inside.

Human hell...
