Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
There are countless cities all over the world, but there are only five magicians in the entire world. These magicians are usually very busy with their work, so don't expect them to wander around. This time, Yale was also looking for a few magical followers, which is why they came here from the Central Base City.
This kind of situation is quite normal. There are countless cities all over the world, but there are only five magicians in the entire world. If you don't take this opportunity to build relationships, how will you know when the next magician will come here? These magicians are usually very busy with their work, so don't expect them to wander around. This time, Yale was also looking for a few magical followers, which is why they came here from the Central Base City.
There are just too many people in the Central Base City, and too many experts have been recruited. It would be better to go to an ordinary city. After all, Yale is not looking for top experts, but just some general-level powerhouses. These powerhouses are very common in these small cities. You don't need to pay too much to get them to serve you obediently. This is a rule among magicians.
Knowing what happened to Yale, Liu Ning was even more heartbroken. He still had to become a magician. Once he became a magician, would this kid still dare to be so rude to him? He copied Yale's talent, and after copying it, he would definitely be even more powerful than this guy. Then they would see how capable this guy was.
"What do you need this for? As far as I know, magic crystals are only used by magicians. It's not of much use to us."
As they were finishing their meal, Liu Ning made his request. Bai Jingye, who was standing nearby, was somewhat surprised. Why did he need magic crystals? What use were magic crystals to him? Did he want to fight a mage? But even if it was to fight a mage, there was no need for magic crystals.
Could this guy want to become a magician? Bai Jingye wasn't thinking about Liu Ning's copying system, but rather some rumors circulating in society. It was said that as long as one found enough magic crystals and extracted the magical elements from them, it was possible to become a magician. Of course, it was only a possibility, not a certainty. Because of this rumor, many people had tried it, spending a lot of manpower and resources, but no one had ever become a magician. Therefore, this rumor was considered the most misleading rumor, and not many people would try it.
"Don't worry about what I need it for, just find a way to get it for me. I'll pay whatever it costs."
Liu Ning spoke with great arrogance. Bai Jingye knew this guy was very rich. Even if he didn't know where he got his money from before, the cost of concocting potions alone was astronomical. If Liu Ning were determined to buy magic crystals, very few people could rival him. But now there was a problem in front of him: the quantity of abrasive stones was too small. No one would sell them to him. Even if they got them, they would store them up and wait until they needed a magician's help before taking them out. Wouldn't that be much better than selling them to him?
"It's not about money. I know you have money to buy magic crystals. Who doesn't have money? It's just that these kinds of goods are too scarce. And once they circulate in society, all the major families and mages will rush to grab them. Our family used to have a magic crystal, but we don't have any now. We had to ask a mage for a favor, so we gave the magic crystal to them. However, I can ask my friends for you, but don't get your hopes up too high. These things are unlikely to be sold."
Bai Jingye was well aware of the importance of the magic crystal, so he first poured cold water on Liu Ning's hopes. If Liu Ning could understand this, some things could naturally be accomplished. If Liu Ning insisted on his own way, then we wouldn't know what to say. We would just try our best to ask around for you, but we should absolutely not be optimistic about this.
"Actually, your biggest opponents are these mages. Although I don't know what you need magic crystals for, they are extremely important to these mages. Take that Mr. Yale who fought you, for example. He once discovered a magic crystal, but the person didn't want to sell it. So, he devised a plan to bring down the entire family. That family was quite powerful; they could be considered kings and lords in a city. But what did it all amount to in the end? They sold it to Mr. Yale for a mere 20 billion. So, you can't trust the prices on the internet. There are other powers involved behind magic crystals. Can you really trust the prices on exchanges?"
Bai Jingye knew far too much about such things. Besides that Mr. Yale, there were many other magicians in the Magicians' Guild who did the same dishonorable things. Don't think that these guys are good people just because they wear magic robes. In fact, they are very ruthless. Sometimes, in order to get a magic crystal, they might wipe out an entire family of hundreds of people. Don't think that this only exists in novels. It also exists in real life. It's just that ordinary people don't know it.
What Bai Jingye said was absolutely true. Of the five magicians in the world, apart from Mr. Lin Lei, who was relatively reasonable, the others were basically arrogant and domineering. Including the president of the Magicians' Guild, if they set their sights on something, they would do everything they could to get it. If you were to talk to them nicely and give them a fair price, then things might be resolved. But if you tried to stop them or try to raise the price to take advantage, then it would probably be the time for your entire family to be wiped out. These people are capable of anything, and there are no laws that can restrain them. That's what makes magicians so crazy.
Liu Ning thanked Bai Jingye for the suggestion, but still insisted on his own idea, hoping that Bai Jingye could ask around for him. Since magicians are so awesome, of course he should become a magician too. Regardless of what their past situation was, he had to obediently follow them in these matters. If they could all follow him, then some things could be fine. If they couldn't, then he wouldn't talk about it anymore.
Liu Ning still remembers the moment Yale made a move. He needed that kind of ability, so he had to gather all the necessary things, otherwise he would never have another chance.
