Chapter Summary
Liu Ning found their simulated magic utterly ridiculous, as it was mostly just for show. It was clear these things were merely for show, and in terms of actual attack power, they probably didn't even have a tenth of the power of real magic. There were too many people in the world who admired magicians; you couldn't control what they did.
Many people on the roadside were performing simulated magic. Liu Ning found their simulated magic utterly ridiculous, as it was mostly just for show. It was clear these things were merely for show, and in terms of actual attack power, they probably didn't even have a tenth of the power of real magic. Lin Lei didn't know what to say to these people. There were too many people in the world who admired magicians; you couldn't control what they did. If they enjoyed this kind of activity, you could only watch. Couldn't you just let them continue? There was no such logic. If someone invented a new method, you had to approve of it. After the Great Cataclysm, many people lived this way because humanity encouraged people to become stronger in various ways. However, another method was absolutely forbidden, such as the one Liu Ning had investigated a few days ago.
"You might think these people are ridiculous, but they actually contribute a lot to the Mage Guild. They all have a common title: Magic Apprentices. You know you're a magic expert, and they're magic apprentices, but they're very different from you. Every month, they have to pay 100,000 coins to the Mage Guild. This is part of their responsibility; otherwise, they wouldn't receive the Mage Guild's certification. Actually, this certification is useless. I used to think it was a rip-off, but there are still many people like that in the world. Do you know how many magic apprentices there are in the world? If I told you, it would probably scare you to death. There are about tens of millions of magic apprentices worldwide. They're willing to pay this money every month. They don't want to do anything; they just want to have this qualification, to wear their own custom-made clothes, and to be able to imitate their own magic with some powder. That's already quite impressive."
When Lin Lei finished speaking, Liu Ning could hardly believe it. Could there really be such fools in the world? Paying 100,000 yuan every month just for a recognition that was practically useless. If that recognition were truly useful, it would be quite good for him, but the problem was, it was completely useless. What was the point of having it? If things were really like this, what kind of world would it become? It was precisely because of this that everyone felt it was truly pathetic. These people lived in their own fantasies, completely unaware of any other benefits. Because of this, many people looked down on them, but they thought their life was quite good. So these people lived in this fantasy, looking at their cheerful smiles. If they weren't allowed to pay this money, that would probably be their end. They liked this situation very much and enjoyed it immensely. This was what they should be thinking; nothing else mattered. This was their world.
"Your Mage Guild is utterly deceitful! You should explain things to them, tell them this is extremely wrong, and tell them to behave better. Instead, you're just collecting money from them every month without any remorse. Is this how you guide them? If that's the case, I don't know how much responsibility you'll bear. In this situation, you must remind them. They're completely fooling themselves. If they really encounter danger, what use are those things they have? Like that guy just now, he seemed to throw a small fireball like you, but his fireball had no attack power whatsoever. It was just for show. What use are those things against an enemy? Is this how you misunderstand them? Are you just going to let them continue to suffer like this? Is this your Mage Guild?"
Liu Ning said speechlessly, and Lin Lei next to him didn't know what to say either. In fact, this kind of thing had been going on for so many years, and he also wanted to change it all, but the question was, could we really change these things? It was a mutually beneficial arrangement. The Mage Guild needed the funds they provided, and these people needed the name of the Mage Guild. As long as they could get a certification, even just a badge, these people were willing to spend 100,000 yuan a month, which was 1.2 million yuan a year. The Mage Guild's money was too easy to earn. As long as you could pay 1 million yuan at once, you could become a magic apprentice. Of course, if you didn't pay next month, your name would be removed. This could all be found online. All it took was a server, and the Mage Guild could earn trillions of yuan every month. This was how the Mage Guild made money. Anyway, these people didn't lack that little bit of money.
"There are some things I can't control. If I were the president of the Mage's Guild, I would of course kick these people out and prevent them from getting deeper into this path. But the problem is I'm not that president, and our president doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. Everyone is getting what they want. Don't you see how happy they are? If we don't let them do this, they'll use the money for other things. To put it bluntly, it's similar to what you're investigating. We can give them some empty titles so they can brag about it outside, and then they pay us some protection money. It's not a problem for anyone. You shouldn't worry about them now. Think about how you're going to deal with them later."
Li Lei chuckled and said, "Liu Ning, you still have time to worry about others at this time? You'll be the one holding people accountable later. You'd better take care of your own affairs first. If you can resolve them, that would be a very good thing. But if you can't, this matter could bring you a lot of trouble. It all depends on what you do."
