(PS: At the beginning of a new episode, Wu Ming is almost about to start on the official stage.) ）

A few days later, Wu Ming was walking on the way to the Magic Tower, thinking about a question that would affect his next series of actions, not in line with the plan, but at least in line with his course of action.

That is, it is better to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, or to expose your strength.

Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger has the advantage of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, that is, there are enough hole cards, and it does not attract the attention of others, if there is no such thing as the holy position, this is what Wu Ming has always done, since he came to the business alliance, he has actually been pretending to be a pig and eating tigers, hiding himself, and making a fortune secretly.

But there are also some disadvantages of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, such as not showing your strength, that is, how to get others to give you respect, or how to get an identity and status that matches your strength?

Like many novels that Wu Ming has read before, the protagonist is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, for example, he has third-order strength, but his external performance is not even a first-order strength, so naturally everyone looks down on it, and then the protagonist sits and waits for the second stunned person to come up and provoke, and then fights back, then shocks everyone, and then repeats again, such a novel plot naturally has its good looks, but if it happens in the real world, isn't this asking for trouble for yourself? Unless there is a stronger enemy on the outside, and this enemy is always looking for your mistakes and can't guess your strength, in this case pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the best choice.

As for exposing strength, it's easy to understand, first, you can get social treatment, welfare, benefits, and so on that match your strength, and at the same time, you can also deter people around you, telling them that I'm strong, don't mess with me, and there will be a lot less trouble.

But there are natural harms, the biggest harm is that it will become the focus of everyone, who will study you, especially if you are very strong, and even in some areas, or some areas become a road marker, so that you have any action, who will carefully interpret, your hole cards, who will seriously analyze, to which step, unless it is getting stronger and stronger, and pull a group, knock down a group, thus forming a group, to cover themselves with the group, otherwise don't want to have any secrets.

Wu Ming thinks about these two points, but these two points are not what he wants, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to cause trouble, showing his strength is eye-catching, he hopes to be able to be in between, showing talent and strength, and making people feel that it is only potential, not a threat.

The best way is actually to show his potential and strength, and join the system, the system of the business alliance, thinking that he was born as an apprentice of a skeleton mage, and he is a ghost body, so it is not too difficult to join it.

When Wu Ming walked into the magic tower, sure enough, the skeleton magician appeared in the hall of the tower again, and he was not seen for fifteen days, which was actually only a short time for the magician, and maybe even a magic experiment had not been completed, but Wu Ming couldn't deal with it with common sense.

The analytical talent in the magic talent, which is simply an advantage before becoming a high-level magician, whether it is a first-order magician or a second-order magician, its main evaluation criterion is the number of French styles, as well as the strength of the French power, both of which are necessary, the former ensures the magic diversity of the magician, and the latter ensures the magic power of the magician, when both can be guaranteed, this is the second-order magician, generally speaking, similar to the ghost, which can essentially absorb energy, the magic can be easily condensed, but it can't be used if it's not a magician。

And Wu Ming's analytical talent can easily analyze and memorize the method, in other words, the first-order magician and the second-order magician are actually very easy for Wu Ming, before the skeleton magician didn't understand the anti-heaven of the analytical power at all, so he thought it would take a few years, but now that he thinks about it, it is not difficult to achieve a second-order magician in dozens of days.

Only the beginning of the third order is different, the beginning of the third order belongs to the higher rank, although it is not yet a complete qualitative change, but it has entered the front end of the qualitative change, from the third order, the magician in addition to memorizing the magic method and accumulating magic power, but also to begin to practice super magic expertise, the magic is either strengthened, or accelerated, or extremely effective, or powerful, or forever attached and so on The effect is used, which involves the qualitative change and deformation of magic, etc., to do these belong to the third-order magician, and the third-order magician can generally crush the second-order magician, so that's the case。

The skeleton mage is no longer waiting for Wu Ming's second-order now, but hopes that within the time limit, Wu Ming will reach the third-order mage, two third-order mages, and the possibility of its revenge and goal achievement will be greatly increased.

"Have you reached the second order?" the skeleton mage's voice trembled slightly as he spoke, not matching his usual cold and calm tone.

Wu Ming didn't seem to notice this, he just nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, thank you for the teachings of the mentor, I have completely memorized the French style, and the magic power has reached the standard of a second-order magician, and I am now a second-order magician." ”

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

At that moment, Wu Ming followed the skeleton magician to the testing room, and according to the skeleton magician's instructions, he performed ten kinds of magic in a row, and after reaching this step, he was already a second-order magician, whether it was the power of magic or the amount of magic, he had already touched the level of a second-order magician.

At this point, Wu Ming thought that the skeleton magician would continue to test him and calculate his current strength and limit, Wu Ming had already made plans, he planned to disguise himself as being able to cast up to seventeen spells, and at that point he would disguise his magic power to be exhausted, so that it would not be too conspicuous, but it showed that he had reached the primary level of a second-order magician, which was enough to show his potential and strength.

But who knew that after the skeleton mage tested his ten spells, he stopped the test, but stood there pondering something, and after a while, the skeleton mage said: "It's enough, you are indeed already a second-order magician, the rest is just the accumulation of water mill kung fu, after accumulating to the second-order maturity stage, you can use your magic knowledge to train and learn super magic expertise, but this requires a magic tower." ”

The skeleton mage pointed to his magic tower and said, "I am a five-story magic tower, and it stands to reason that seven or eight magicians can use it together, but I don't like it, I like to be quiet, so I can't let you use this magic tower...... I am willing to lend you 10,000 spirit stones for an interest-free loan, and I can repay it within ten years, and at the same time, I can help with the construction of your magic tower, and the fee is only eighty percent of the standard price, and the remaining money gap needs to be raised by yourself, but the territory problem can start operating now, and it can be down in about half a month. ”

Wu Ming thought for a while and said, "Then thank you mentor, do you need me to do anything about applying for the purchase of the territory?"

The skeleton mage said: "I'll help you apply first, and then after the application is approved, you need to go to the city government to do another magician rank test, and then you can only put eleven or twelve spells, and you don't need to do your best...... Even if the matter of the Blood Clan is over, I will help you settle this point, and from now on, I will stand in the position of a third-order mage and wait for you to catch up. ”

"Thank you, mentor...... I will. ”

By the time Wu Ming left the magic tower, it was already close to morning, and the skeleton magician gave Wu Ming almost a whole day's lessons, from super magic skills to super magic expertise, the composition of various specialties, the key points of exercise and learning, and the explanation of various high-level magic methods, etc., the skeleton magician seemed to be eager to stuff all the magic knowledge to Wu Ming.

So after leaving the magic tower, Wu Ming could only smile bitterly, he actually wasted all his time in the whole day, whether it was magic or magic, or all kinds of super magic knowledge, it might be something more important than life for others, but it was really meaningless to him, it was better to use this day to analyze some derivative runes.

However, the skeleton magician is kind after all, and Wu Ming will not refuse, after all, he is a pretending magician, no matter how powerful his talent is, he must at least learn to understand, right?

"However, with the master's 10,000 spirit stones, my time to accumulate wealth has been shortened by half, and the results of the reconnaissance have also come out in the past few days, and two chambers of commerce have been selected, the location of their branch in Jinhe City, the location of the storage warehouse where the spirit stones are stored, etc., have been found out these days, as for the crime...... Hehe. ”

When Wu Ming thought of this, his face showed a deep sneer, which was a smile that only came after he was already angry to the extreme.

In the few days that he came to the Magic Tower, Wu Ming basically spent the rest of his time in reconnaissance except for refining magic tools, such as the most famous chambers of commerce in Jinhe City, their wealth, their forces, their security forces in Jinhe City, etc., which were basically scouted, and after doing this, Wu Ming also reconnoitred the human situation in their hands.

One of the chambers of commerce is slightly better, it is a food chamber of commerce, there are granges outside many cities in the business alliance, specializing in selling grains, dairy products, and meat products, etc., in this chamber of commerce, the human beings in this chamber of commerce, their living standards are basically equivalent to the serf class, starving to death, not enough to eat, not warm, but at least will not be regarded as experiments, barely living on the level of intelligent creatures.

And the two chambers of commerce selected by Wu Ming, one chamber of commerce is to make medicines, although every city has transcendental people, whether it is a magician, or a druid, or a priest, they all have the ability to heal and repair, but the supernatural power is very expensive, in comparison, potions, medicine, etc. will be much cheaper, although it is also expensive, but at least the citizens in the city can still use it.

In addition to the traditional potions, goblins, high-level goblins, and gnomes, these three races are also good at chemical technology, and they can make various pills and potions similar to the earth world through biological means, chemical means, etc., and these are huge profits, and the medical companies in the earth world are as profitable.

Of course, aside from traditional pharmaceutics, goblins, high-level goblins, and gnomes want to make new drugs, they naturally need experimental objects, and what experimental products can compare to human beings who are also intelligent creatures?

When Wu Ming scouted the medical building of this chamber of commerce, he saw hell inside.

Hell for Mankind......
