Fangzheng was curled up in the warm and comfortable carriage, humming a tune as he chatted with Fiore. While the two Rites were battling the Son of the Visceral Forest in the snow, Fangzheng was curled up in the warm and comfortable carriage.
"What? Not enough money? Add more, add more. We have money. That's the good thing about capitalism. As long as you have money, people will commit murder and arson, not to mention that we're doing it legally … "
Fangzheng and Fiore were discussing a part of Fangzheng's plan to "change the world with a game".
After getting the information from Love Song, Fangzheng had already figured out how to use the information. He divided it into three parts.
First, he would create an anime based on the information, then launch a card game based on it, and finally port it to the mainframe.
Fangzheng had also designed the general content of the anime. Most of the content was borrowed from Harry Potter, but the protagonist was changed to a Japanese-English boy. Other than that, the plot was similar to the original. The protagonist was an orphan who lived in a distant relative's home. He received an invitation to study in London. The protagonist then went to London despite all the difficulties and arrived at a magic school he had never heard of – the Clock Tower.
What happened next was similar to the plot of Harry Potter. The protagonist had an unforgettable life in the school, then discovered the secret of his life. At the same time, he had to fight against Voldemort, who was a threat to them.
That was the general plot, but Fangzheng made some changes in other areas.
For example, he changed the original four schools into the twelve disciplines of the Clock Tower. The means of fighting between magicians was also changed to a duel card format similar to Yu-Gi-Oh. Students of each discipline had cards of different attributes, and they could also create new cards with their own strength. Students of different disciplines would also use these cards to fight.
As for why they fought with cards … .why did it matter?
Couldn't they play Gwent cards to save the world?
The problem lay in the cards of the twelve disciplines.
That's right, Fangzheng completely exposed the most secret magic of the twelve monarch families of the Clock Tower to the public in the form of cards.
After all, magic itself was a very niche thing. Apart from fanatical readers and players, most people didn't really like to delve into the theories or knowledge of magic.
However, it would be different if it was made into a card.
For example, the effect of the "XX Spell" card was "XXOO". This way, it was easy for players to remember it. One of the reasons for the mysterious disappearance of magic was that everyone knew about it. Once this game spread to the whole world and was known by everyone, then the magic system of the Twelve Families would collapse completely.
As for whether he could do it or not, Fangzheng was not worried at all. In a capitalistic society, as long as you had money, you could do anything. It was like brain platinum. You might not like brain platinum, but you would definitely know about it. If he had the magic of Brain Platinum, the grass on his grave would have already grown to a height of thirty feet.
Moreover, money makes the world go round.
Fangzheng spent money to hire a famous writer in the world to write this book and promote it. Everything went well. With Fangzheng's promotion at all costs, the book had already spread all over Asia. At this time, Fangzheng took the opportunity to launch a manga and anime version. After the anime version was broadcast, the audience base should spread to the whole world. At that time, he could also hold some similar international competitions to attract the attention of players from all over the world. Then, he could sell the card game. At the same time, he might even be able to make a movie or TV series. As long as the quality was good and the graphics were outstanding, the rest would not be a problem.
As for money … the CIA had plenty of it.
No, there was still the FBI.
Fangzheng took advantage of a small loophole in this mission. Although the mission did not allow him to use technology beyond this world to make the game, using technology beyond this world to make money was not within the scope of the restriction, was it not?
As long as he had money, would the rest still be a problem?
That was why the system was still too young.
I'll show you what it means to be your father.
"Knock, knock, knock."
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Hearing the knock, Fangzheng turned off his personal terminal and turned back into a red ponytail.
"Come in."
Following Fangzheng's words, the door of the guest room opened, and an unexpected person walked in.
It was a young man with glasses who looked gentle — Corlez Fulvig Yogdomirenia.
"Miss Red Ponytail."
"Hmm? What's the matter? "
Fangzheng raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him.
"I have something to talk to you about alone. It's about modern magic …"
"Modern magic?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes.
"If it's about modern magic, shouldn't I ask Webber? Why would I ask an impostor like you? "
"… … …"
For a moment, the whole room was shrouded in a deathly silence. After a few minutes, Corlez — or rather, someone disguised as Corlez stood up and smiled bitterly.
"I didn't expect you to see through me."
"Of course, I knew you were an impostor the moment I saw you."
Fangzheng raised his eyebrows. Are you kidding me? Using illusion in front of a prophet? You're just tired of living, right? This trick might be able to fool others, but it was impossible to fool Fangzheng.
"I'm sorry."
The impostor lowered his head.
"Although I wanted to talk to you with my original appearance, it would take a certain amount of time, so there's no other way."
"It doesn't matter. I'm not interested in why you're pretending to be Corlez, but if you think you can fool the Thousand Worlds Tree with your half-assed tricks, then you're courting death."
"I didn't intend to fool the Thousand Worlds Tree. In fact, even if you didn't point it out, I would have confessed my identity."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng changed his posture and leaned back on the sofa.
"So what? You don't even dare to show your face, do you still have any identity? "
"Of course."
The impostor smiled.
"You can call me Dr. Hatress."
"The one who sells yachts?"
"Just the same name."
"Fine, it doesn't matter. What do you want? I'll say this first, if it's a charity donation, we won't fork out a single cent. "
"In fact, I want to work with the Thousand Worlds Tree."
"Work together?"
"That's right."
Hatress stared at the red ponytail before him and continued speaking.
"I've heard of the Thousand Worlds Tree's actions. In fact, I have the same opinion. For the past two thousand years, magicians have been aiming for the [Origin], but isn't that too foolish? Magicians bound by the [Origin] have no right to choose, they're nothing but ghosts and puppets left behind by history. "
Hattersley raised both of his hands.
"So, I want to completely change the existence of modern magicians."
"Yes."
Hearing Hatress's words, Fangzheng only nodded.
"So? What do you plan to do? "
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you that yet."
Hatress shook his head slightly.
"We need to build more trust. Before that, I can't tell you my specific plan."
"Understandable."
Fangzheng nodded, but what he said next exceeded Hatress's imagination.
"But I refuse."
Upon hearing this answer, Hartress's expression froze instantly.
"Why?"
"We, the Thousand Worlds Tree, have our own way of doing things. Indeed, we want to change everything, but our goal is for the sake of the world and the survival of the entire human race. We've made a strict plan with a clear goal and direction. "
Having said that, Fangzheng spread his hands.
"What about you? Up until now, you've been hiding behind the scenes, not even daring to come out and meet people. Not only that, but you also kill people at will … "
"For the sake of a great goal, small tricks are necessary."
"Of course, I agree with that, but unfortunately, people with different goals can't make plans together."
Fangzheng snorted.
"I'm sorry, I think that even if our goals are the same, our ideas and methods are completely different … But you can try your own ideas. I won't support it, nor will I oppose it. The same goes for the Thousand Worlds Tree."
However, Hatress's expression did not change in the slightest in response to Fangzheng's answer.
"You don't need to answer so quickly, Miss Red Ponytail."
He said with a smile.
"Perhaps, after a while, you will change your opinion."
The snowstorm was still howling.
The girls panted as they dashed through the withered forest, advancing forward.
"How long until we reach the main root system?!"
"How would I know? It's very difficult to judge the flow of magic in this place!"
Olga was out of breath from running, but at the same time, she complained discontentedly. But at that moment, Grey suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Huh? What's wrong? Miss Grey? "
"Everyone …"
Grey bit her lower lip as she looked at the girls who turned to look at her.
"You can leave now, I …"
"No, no one is leaving this place."
However, before Grey could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a voice that appeared out of thin air.
Then, a woman with pitch-black hair in a red battle robe and a dagger in her hand walked out and stood in front of them.
"I'm sorry, little girls."
The black-haired woman raised the dagger in her hand.
"This is the Lord's order."
"What's that?"
Olga and Mary couldn't help but tremble when they saw the black-haired woman in front of them. She could feel a strong sense of oppression and power coming from the woman. Grey, who was beside her, clenched the scythe in her hand tightly.
"It's a Servant …"
"Huh?"
"She's the one who attacked me and Master before …"
"Oh?"
Olga and Mary's expression changed drastically, but Grey and Mary's eyes lit up. She gripped the dagger tightly, walked out, and stared at the woman in front of her.
"I heard the story of the Holy Grail War from Xiao Hong. I didn't expect to meet a Servant here …"
Grey and Mary raised the dagger in their hands as they spoke.
"Well then, let me see how powerful the legendary human hero is!"
