Chapter 56: Collaboration Reached, Research Begins
Chapter 56: Collaboration Reached, Research Begins
"Boss, didn't you sleep all night?" Wang Shenxing walked into the study and saw Qin Muye, who was reading a book, and was quite curious.
Qin Muye nodded: "No, I didn't sleep. I spent the first half of the night preparing the oath of allegiance. Today, I need to meet the special envoy, and we will further negotiate the details. I spent the second half of the night reading."
As he spoke, Qin Muye picked up the book in his hand and gestured with it.
Previously, he had contacted the Governor Chen Lu and the President of Wen Country, and they had reached a collaboration agreement. To show his sincerity, he had prepared an oath of allegiance. The special envoy would arrive by plane today, and they would discuss various matters. However, the main focus of the collaboration would be the development of magic.
The so-called "oath of allegiance" naturally included the "Elemental Meditation Technique for Beginners" and the evil curse. However, he discovered a terrifying fact: this world had no elements, and there was no way to meditate on them.
But it didn't matter; he had the Intermediate Mystery Technique, which could restore 20% of his magic value daily. For him, it was barely enough.
In fact, this was a good thing. He could collaborate with Wen Country to research magical energy and try to delve deeper into this special form of energy. If he were alone, it would indeed be quite difficult, but Wen Country had a well-developed scientific system, a large population, and advanced technology.
With the support of such a nation, he would have 30 days to absorb more knowledge and strengthen himself.
For example, knowledge about firearms and various industrial and agricultural systems. Once he learned them, he could apply them to his own territory, making it even more prosperous.
The magic on the Magic Continent was wondrous, but it relied too heavily on elements, which wasn't a good thing.
Trading 24 hours for 30 days was a profitable deal for Qin Muye.
"Want to take a look?" Qin Muye said, tossing the "Elemental Meditation Technique for Beginners" over to Wang Shenxing, who subconsciously caught it.
"Is this okay?" Wang Shenxing hesitated.
"Why not? Consider it a small gift. The 'Elemental Meditation Technique'—I practice this one too. If you can capture elements and convert them into magic power, you can become a mage," Qin Muye explained. He didn't include the word "beginner," as it might seem insulting to use it in the oath of allegiance.
He had already learned most of the knowledge about mages, of course, limited to what he had exchanged from the Point Store.
Currently, he hadn't considered developing as a traditional mage on the Magic Continent, nor did he want to follow the path of a mage in "The Lord's Era." Instead, he preferred to grow in his own way, wild and unrestrained.
Following the rules wouldn't help him win against others, as the innate differences were too great to overcome. Therefore, Qin Muye had to take a different path to catch others off guard.
It seemed he had revealed his magic and the unique pleasure of being the only one with such knowledge, but he wasn't here to humiliate others. He was here to seek his own well-being, so he had to ensure a win-win situation.
"Thanks a lot, boss. By the way, we have another act this afternoon. It's probably because I was humiliated by you yesterday, and I was very unhappy. So, I arranged some hooligans to cause you trouble, and then you beat them up. The plot is roughly like that," Wang Shenxing said.
"Will you be there?" Qin Muye asked, noticing that the chapter mission hadn't been activated.
"No, but I'll coincidentally call to check on the situation and get caught by you. Then, you will take revenge on me, specifically by using a beauty elixir in collaboration with Shen Qingqing to strike back at my family's latest beauty product."
Wang Shenxing explained.
Qin Muye knew the plot, but only roughly. Wang Shenxing had mentioned it before, but he hadn’t taken it seriously.
"Do you need it?" Qin Muye asked, hinting at something.
"I don’t need it," Wang Shenxing replied, knowing that the person in front of him was smart and had likely guessed that there was something wrong with him. He also suspected that Qin Muye might have something similar, so they tacitly understood each other.
"Then let’s skip it. I’m not Xiao Chen, so where would I get beauty elixirs?" Qin Muye rolled his eyes and then said, "You should quickly memorize the meditation technique. You’ll need to hand it over to the special envoy later."
Wang Shenxing was taken aback by this and hurriedly started to memorize it, leaving Qin Muye puzzled.
Why did he need to memorize it?
"Hey, why don’t you take pictures of the text?" Qin Muye kindly suggested.
This made Wang Shenxing feel a bit embarrassed. Memorizing it word for word was slower and more prone to forgetting compared to taking pictures.
"Forgot, forgot," Wang Shenxing said sheepishly, taking out a high-definition camera and starting to photograph the pages one by one.
Time passed quickly, and soon Chen Lu arrived with a special envoy.
"This is Cabinet Minister Luo She, and this is the scholar. You’ve met in the video before," Chen Lu introduced them immediately.
Qin Muye stood up to shake hands, "Minister Luo, I’ve heard a lot about you."
"I’m not worthy of such praise, Scholar, please sit," Luo She replied, knowing that this was an extraordinary meeting.
"Alright, Minister Luo, please sit. Let’s get straight to the point. In our previous discussions, you should understand my requirements. This is the 'Elemental Meditation Technique.' Magic is based on magical power, and to have magical power, one must practice the corresponding meditation technique."
"And this is the evil curse, a military-grade fire magic. This is our starting point."
He pushed the books containing these two pieces of knowledge across the table.
Luo She then took out a USB drive, "This contains the basic industrial, agricultural, and medical knowledge you need, Scholar."
Both sides had provided basic knowledge, but for each, it was something urgently needed.
"Thank you for your country’s support. This marks the beginning of our mutual development. However, I must remind you that due to the differences in the world’s environment, this world does not have elements. So..." Qin Muye didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
That is, you probably can’t meditate.
This made Luo She frown. Are you setting a trap for a free ride?
"But we can collaborate to research this special form of energy, magical power, and try to replicate it. If we work together, with sufficient conditions, we can produce significant results within 7 days. In return, I need more knowledge support."
Qin Muye’s meaning was clear: they would research together, and the results would be shared. If he gave something, and you didn’t reciprocate with more benefits, then it would be better to part ways.
As expected, Luo She agreed. This was a good thing. No matter how much knowledge Qin Muye needed, for them, it wouldn’t touch the core. They would only provide knowledge that could be found or bought online, which was virtually cost-free.
