Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 680 War preparations
"Good, good, well done. Next... what are your plans?"

Zhuang Mengxuan seemed to want to say something, but after a brief pause, she changed her mind and asked Li Daoxian about his plans.

"Tomorrow, we will expand the scope of the redevelopment area outwards."

Li Daoxian knew Zhuang Mengxuan's thoughts and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will never forget the agreement we made. The resources you need have arrived."

Zhuang Mengxuan's eyes lit up: "They've already arrived? So fast?"

Li Daoxian nodded: "With the teleportation permission, the time it takes for the Revelation Tree to transport supplies back and forth has been greatly reduced, and the review efficiency has also been improved a lot."

Having your own permissions can save a lot of approval time, allowing you to directly send applications for approval.

Zhuang Mengxuan was very satisfied: "Good, good, it's good that you have a plan. Keep it up."

After granting the permissions to Li Daoxian, I felt much more relaxed and could focus on my research. The current progress is much faster than originally expected.

However, after thinking about it, she added, "We still need to be careful. The AI ​​in this world is very sophisticated and unpredictable. It's easy to make a mistake and get caught off guard. Although I know we're all working well together, he still needs to be careful and not let his guard down."

As she spoke, Zhuang Mengxuan also granted Li Daoxian emergency management authority. In special circumstances, Li Daoxian could use this authorization to take over the Second Transformation Zone in an emergency. Furthermore, if something happened to Zhuang Mengxuan, Li Daoxian could directly become the acting captain.

Li Daoxian also did not expect Zhuang Mengxuan to do this.

Once the emergency management authority is granted, Zhuang Mengxuan will lose one means of restraining Li Daoxian, especially since most of the people in the Aquarius Palace are Snake Witches and a few team members don't get along with Li Daoxian. Giving up this authority is by no means a decision that is in her best interest.

Li Daoxian looked at her and said, "Captain, this...isn't that necessary?"

Zhuang Mengxuan waved her hand dismissively: "Just tell me if it's useful or not?"

“It works.” Li Daoxian nodded.

With emergency management authority, in times of crisis, the authority can be used to readjust the layout within the original renovation area, and important strategic reserve materials can also be used. If necessary, it is even possible to request assistance or rescue from other palace personnel. In short, it means that the team leader's authority can be temporarily exercised without authorization.

This permission was naturally useful to Li Daoxian.

"As long as it's useful." Zhuang Mengxuan blinked and smiled at Li Daoxian. "You have more experience than me, and you'll be spending most of your time outside the modification zone from now on. It's always good to improve your safety."

Zhuang Mengxuan was very clear that regardless of whether she granted the authorization or not, under the current circumstances, if Li Daoxian was dissatisfied with her, she wouldn't be the captain for long. In terms of strength, as could be seen from the scenes in the previous transformation zone, Li Daoxian's strength and influence were very powerful. In terms of background, Li Daoxian had the rule wizard standing behind him.

It can be said that the other party is just using this place as a temporary stepping stone, so why should I make trouble for myself? Being able to secure a permanent position is better than anything else.

Zhuang Mengxuan clearly understood that the key to her future development and promotion would not lie in integrating and managing the Second Transformation Zone, but in her research on the gold-loving insects.

Both parties take what they need.

Li Daoxian hadn't expected to see such thoughts in Zhuang Mengxuan. Moreover, Zhuang Mengxuan made no attempt to hide her own thoughts.

It's clearly a case of sincerity for sincerity.

Alternatively, when dealing with someone like Li Daoxian, cooperation is clearly more worthwhile than confrontation; a straightforward and honest approach can yield greater benefits.

Li Daoxian had to admit that Zhuang Mengxuan's judgment and actions were very correct. After doing so, he was indeed much freer, and her attitude was hard to be annoyed. If there were no unexpected events, he would of course fully cooperate with Zhuang Mengxuan's research.

"Thank you for your trust, Captain." Li Daoxian nodded slightly.

The two remained silent for a moment, instead staring at the scene on the virtual screen of the office.

In the second modified zone, a large number of wizard players are catalyzing the expansion of the Revelation Tree branches at the edge of the zone, thickening the plague network, and manipulating the plague network to try to extend it outwards to obtain more information, which is also in preparation for tomorrow's attack.

……

The source of value.

The tens of thousands of players participating in the world war are already the most elite troops in the area.

Their records and accounts of their performance in the war were compiled and published on the Value Place forum during their first day of rest.

Players who haven't yet joined the World War are looking at the battle replays and posts with some envy.

The rewards of battle are secondary; the most important thing for players is exploring a new world, which is the most interesting adventure.

As their strength increases, players on Earth face more and more restrictions.

Although the limit of transcendence on Earth is slowly increasing, it still makes players feel oppressed. After all, magic is not the core rule of this world. After a long period of integration, it is only one of the main rules.

Before the fissure in the Earth's core expands further, their strength is sufficient to handle the current anomalies. In fact, many of them, under official organization, have already begun to support other friendly nations.

On the other hand, the Prime Minister of the Eagle Kingdom has changed. After giving up a large number of talented personnel, they have also received the support of the Place of Value, and the proportion of personnel in the Place of Value has also increased.

Their methods and measures towards other countries are not as gentle as those of a certain Eastern country. They show no mercy and only talk about interests. In addition to the fact that abnormal events belong to the United States, they also need to pay high additional fees for assistance, such as tax rates, resources, etc.

Many countries that previously had little contact with the Eastern power have had to turn to the United States for help after their repeated requests for assistance have gone unanswered.

The chaotic situation on Earth gradually stabilized. Many countries perished during this turbulent period, but the power of the Eastern superpower and the United States was strengthened, and a new bipolar world was born.

This is the view of many countries; in their minds, a confrontation between these two countries was inevitable.

However, what they don't know is that more and more players are no longer considering the concept of a nation, but rather identifying more with their own player identity, which is especially evident in the United States.

The state tries its best to maintain stability and can only strengthen cooperation with the Place of Value. However, in many cases, the tasks of the Place of Value have a higher priority. They want to implement certain plans and even issue tasks through the Place of Value.

[War Reinforcements. The Cyber ​​Dimension War has begun, and the second phase of recruitment has started. Players who wish to participate in the World War are welcome to sign up. The second phase has a limit of 50000 participants.] The first batch of players have already gained a great deal of benefits through the World War. Compared to the difficulty, the returns are incredibly worthwhile, which is why the number of applicants filled up almost instantly.

……

three days later.

The production team of "Little Potions Master" announced a major piece of news: the team has passed the war application and confirmed its participation in the war against the large world of Cyber ​​Dimension.

This news caused a huge uproar, or more accurately, it was met with a flood of negative reviews.

On the one hand, the fact that young wizards are directly involved in the war is inconsistent with the wizarding world's beliefs and poses a direct threat to their lives. Moreover, these little guys are all exceptionally talented, and war always results in death. If any of these little guys fail to realize their talents, it will be a loss for the entire wizarding world.

On the other hand, war is not child's play. Can these young wizards really participate in the wizarding world's war based solely on their experience from the last simulation? If they actually participate, will it affect the original battle plan? What tasks will be assigned to them?
If an important task is assigned, what are the consequences if the task fails?
If the tasks are unimportant, then the show is just a gimmick.
No matter how you look at it, this is a program arrangement that is thankless and exhausting.

Many wizards left comments protesting the show after watching this episode.

"Giving up the show and returning to Potions."

"Those who know him will think he's a little potions master, while those who don't will think he's a little war wizard."

"I don't know what the war wizard is thinking, but if it were me, I would feel like we've just added a few more burdens."

"To make the story of accompanying the Crown Prince in his studies a concrete reality."

However, no matter what, the production team still showed no intention of stopping it, and instead allowed the storm to continue to spread.

The rating for Little Potions Master has also dropped from 9.1 to 6.7.

Inside the Demonized Building.

The nervous young wizards stood in a row.

Gordon, Maggie, and Zach, Li Daoxian, Yuan Hua, and Melissa, along with all the mentors and teaching assistants, were present.

Only six people remained.

Just now, they heard shocking news: they were going to participate in a world war, and not the small-world war they had expected, but a large-scale war battlefield where hundreds of thousands of war wizards had already died.

Those who can become war wizards are all armed to the teeth and have endless ways to protect themselves, but hundreds of thousands of such wizards have already disappeared on the battlefield.

The thought filled the young wizards with an indescribable fear, like someone who hadn't yet learned to swim being told they were about to be thrown into the sea and forced to swim across the Pacific Ocean—it sounded like they were courting death.

“Are you kidding me?” Harry asked incredulously. “We haven’t had any formal training. We don’t even know what war is like. This is ridiculous.”

Gordon looked at him and said, “This is not absurd. Wars break out without warning. Perhaps one day the wizarding world will be at war, just like we appeared in other worlds. At that time, the enemy will not say, ‘Hey, he’s just a child. Let him go and wait until he grows up,’ just because he’s a child.”

“But now is not the time,” Lucy said, raising her hand. “I want to know, do my parents approve of this?”

Lucy's parents were the highest-ranking among all the contestants.

Gordon looked at her and said, “Of course, your parents are fully aware of this and are even happy to participate. They even helped with many of the arrangements for this part of the event.”

Lucy pursed her lips somewhat uneasily.

Harry glanced at Lucy and then said, "I'd like to know, why does this have to be a part of the process?"

Zack glanced at him: "Go if you want, or get lost, you..."

Maggie gently interrupted Zack: "Don't be nervous, kid. War is terrible, but this show isn't that risky."

"War is risky, but we can guarantee that the risks have been minimized."

"Moreover, and most importantly, our goal is to use this process to make you directly become a high-level wizard, or even a domain wizard."

"This is a rare opportunity and a bold attempt through multi-party cooperation. We want to bring about a transformation. Your talents and abilities need a suitable environment to be fully realized, and what we need to do now is to provide you with the right opportunities to see your potential."

"Many people are extremely talented, but they are limited by resources, status, and knowledge. Here, we will do our best to provide you with a completely open environment so that you can give full play to your talents."

"I can reveal this privately: there will be a next season of this show, but the name will be changed to 'Future Leaders.' Our goal is not only to attract talented people like you who lack resources, but also to take this opportunity to select talented individuals from among everyone."

"Will you become future leaders? Or will others catch up with you? I don't know, but I do know one thing: if you give up now, we will still give you the resources of the School of Learning. You will become a Potions Master in the future, but you will definitely miss an opportunity in your world of Anian."

Whether Maggie is just making empty promises or not, at least the future she outlined in her words was grand enough.

If the goal is to cultivate future leaders, then all the current arrangements make sense... what a load of rubbish.

They thought the first session was already quite strict, but it turned out to be the easiest one yet. The second session was for enlightenment, the third session was for simulated warfare, and the fourth session was for direct participation in the war.

Isn't this progress too fast, a leapfrog development? Is it accelerating the completion of other wizards' lives?
Gordon looked at the panicked crowd, then turned to Noah and Ava in the middle of the group.

These two people were very calm, even out of place with the others.

Noah, aren't you afraid?

Upon hearing Gordon's voice, Harry and the others all turned their gazes toward Noah.

Noah raised his head, his face calm: "High risk, high reward. I believe the production team must have made arrangements, and I also believe that I can do my best. If I really die, then it just means that I am nothing special."
