In April 3997 of the Light Calendar, in Atlanta, in the City of Dreams Stadium, a huge noise rang out here, almost tearing the dome apart.
In Room 24 of the stadium, the FBI's Senior Executive Deputy Director, Level 9 Special Agent Wallace Carroll, who was also the director of the Third Special Affairs Management Department, was holding a pair of binoculars as he stared fixedly at a certain figure in the ring, observing every movement of the black-haired young man.
Beside him, one of Carlo's assistants, the level 8 Tank Raide, shrugged and said with a helpless expression, "I don't think this kind of observation is going to help us, boss! What's the point of this? Watching a super strong man with the combat power of a Lord mingling in the NMOSA (National Comprehensive Cold Weapon Combat Alliance) and bullying these weaklings? "
Then he looked at the black-haired young man in the ring with a disdainful gaze. "To think that he could do that. In order to collect faith and condense a Divine Spark, he's really shameless. It's been five years since he entered the league, isn't it? The fifth NMOSA War Emperor Golden Belt is about to be hung on this waist. NMOSA is becoming less and less attractive. "
"But I think he's still very fair, isn't he?"
Another Level-8 Agent, Belo, didn't think so. This was a Legendary level-4 female Magical Swordsman. She was also watching intently with binoculars, her eyes glowing.
But at this time, if someone could spy on her vision, they would find that this Legend with a girl's face was mainly focused on the face and figure of the black-haired young man, not the moves of this person.
"He always uses the strength of a level-16 Magical Professional, and the most ordinary kind, but he's invincible in the ring. No matter who it is, even the superstars who have won the title of War Emperor before, they can only last a hundred rounds against him. All of his battles are classics, and they're used as teaching videos by all the combat clubs in all the schools. The number of NMOSA matches about him is also the highest in viewership and attendance. Regarding his sports equipment and endorsement products, sales are always the best. "
"But he's a Lord God, an existence that even powerful existences like the Goddess of Magic and the Goddess of Nature have to be wary of."
"No one knows this. Not many people in the audience here will believe this fact. A young man in his twenties could force the Church to swallow their anger for almost seven years? Don't joke around, this is too absurd. Up until now, all of his battle videos had been of him wearing Light Demon No.8, No.9, or Scarlet Dragon Armor. His face had never been shown. Thus, although this was already an open secret among the upper echelons of the Mana profession, ordinary people did not know about this. But I think if they knew, most of them would only worship him even more. "
Belo chuckled. "I heard a rumor that His Excellency Wildenstein Jr. actually wanted to quit NMOSA last year. It was too unchallenging for him. But in the end, the CEO of NMOSA and a few television stations that had bought the live broadcast rights were so anxious that they tried their best to beg him to stay for a few more years. How should I put it? The way he attracts the audience is different from the other contestants — "
"Yeah! Yes! Women always like to flatter him. "
"Tsk." Tank Raider glanced around the stadium helplessly. Of the 140,000 spectators here, 70% were women.
"That's not right. It can only be said that women are more willing to spend money on him. Do you know how much a regular seat ticket costs on the black market? Seven hundred federal dollars, nearly half a month's salary for an ordinary person. "
This was another level-eight agent in the private room. This was a middle-aged man with a calm temperament in a suit and leather shoes. "His fans are now all over the old and new continents and East Asia. Many combat and magic enthusiasts like him, believing that he has developed combat and magic skills to the extreme. 'The Furious King of Heaven' is only the 34th volume, and the highest sales figure for a single volume has already exceeded 370 million copies. The entire set has exceeded 9 billion copies, and there are countless pirated copies. In the movie adaptation not long ago, he personally designed the combat moves and the use of magic. Then, as we know, the first movie in this series earned 6.7 billion gold duns at the box office in America alone, ranking third in the history of box office. "
"I actually don't quite understand what he's thinking? What kind of faith does he want to condense? "
Tank Raider said with a puzzled expression, "Games? Internet? Fate? Fitness? Combat? God of War? Wealth? Or youth? Beauty? "
When he said the last two words, he deliberately glanced at his colleague, Belo. He knew that Andre Lee Wildenstein had a beauty and fitness program a few years ago, which was popular all over America. There were a total of 24 episodes, which were repeatedly played on major TV stations.
In particular, this man claimed to have inherited the "Green-hair Beauty Sword" from his family, and all the women in America practiced it. It had even spread to foreign countries. Almost all the women in the world, from children as young as ten to old ladies in their eighties, were his fans. They watched his videotapes every day, including many men.
Since this man no longer gave lectures, the videotapes and DVDs made of special materials that could record the "true meaning" of Andre's sword technique had already been sold for hundreds of millions of gold duns on the black market.
"But as far as I know, it's not always better to have more Godhoods, right? He's too greedy. "
It meant that the power of faith interfered with each other, and it could even affect the mind of a god. The human mind was very messy, and even the prayers of devout believers would have some distracting thoughts. When these thoughts gathered together, it would be a huge burden for a god.
The middle-aged man, on the other hand, seemed to be deep in thought. "That depends on how strong this Mr. Wildenstein Jr.'s body and soul are. If he's strong, then it's not a bad thing for him to have more Godhoods. "
Just as they were discussing, Wallace Carroll's expression changed slightly. "Someone told me that he's ready to break through to Level-20. It should be within the next two or three days. It's very likely that he'll cross the Legendary and Demigod levels in one go, and directly reach the Ancient God level! "
These words caused everyone in the room to be slightly moved. They didn't ask how their superior could tell. They all looked at each other, their eyes filled with awe.
"It's finally here!"
Agent Belo couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. "The world has been waiting for this day for too long!"
"In other words, in ten years, His Highness will leave this world?"
Tank Reid raised his eyebrows as well. "To the various Churches, and even the Radiant Church, this is excellent news. They only need to wait for another ten years, and they can take a deep breath. "
"That's not necessarily true!"
The calm middle-aged man once again took the opposite position. "The current Wildenstein family is already too powerful. Relying on Eastern trade, the network, arms, and the development of the underworld, their alliance with the Light and Magic Industry directly and indirectly controls at least 15 trillion dollars of wealth. Who knows how far the Wildenstein family will develop in ten years? Once Mr. Wildenstein Jr. becomes a real god, they will only become more indestructible. "
…
When Li Mochen came down from the ring, he didn't even have a drop of sweat. Then, just as he walked out of the stadium under the protection of many security personnel, he heard a piece of good news from Alisa.
The "Sky Knight" Type A prosthetic developed by Rising Sun Biochemical Pharmaceuticals had passed the safety inspection and combat test of the Ministry of Defense and the military this morning. The former had also placed an order for up to 100 sets with Rising Sun Biochemical Pharmaceuticals.
"According to the previous negotiations, each set is priced at 150 million gold duns."
When Alisa reported, she had a helpless look on her face. "It's still too cheap. Our negotiation team is too weak. The Sky Knight is a level-20 prosthetic. If it is used with the 'Messenger' -class magic armor that the Light and Magic Industry has recently put into production, it can allow a level-15 magic professional to reach the combat power of a legendary level-2. "
"But the cost of its research and development is, after all, only 72 million gold duns, isn't it? Don't be too greedy, Alisa. "
Li Mochen shook his head and laughed. "A reasonable price can squeeze competitors and ensure that there is no competition in the same industry. We also need to cultivate more loyal fans and vested interests of the products within the military. "
“OK！ I know this is a reasonable business strategy, but what's going on in the East? "
Alisa squinted at him with a somewhat questioning look. "Their 'Dragon Guard' Type III has been developed. This is a prosthetic armor that can match the 'Earth Knight' model. Although its functions are slightly weaker in all aspects, their cost is lower. "
"You underestimate their technical ability, Alisa! It is a large country with a population of tens of billions, and the average level of intelligence of its citizens is higher than that of America. It is not surprising that they have such research and development ability. Don't forget that our Professor Gu Hong is also Chinese. "
Li Mochen said without changing his expression. However, his words obviously could not convince Alisa, so Li Mochen changed his tone. "This is actually a good thing, Alisa. You have to know that since the end of the Cold War, the cost of purchasing equipment in this country has been decreasing year by year, and the daily operating expenses have been increasing year by year. The officials of the Ministry of National Defense will think, if there are no enemies in this world, then why do we still need to purchase so many arms? "
He squinted at Alisa meaningfully. "I think that if it were not for the legal restrictions of this country, our arms dealers would definitely spare no effort in cultivating our enemies."
At this time, the Norfolk 'Royal' limousine that he was in had slowly driven out of the City of Dreams stadium. Through the window, Li Mochen saw a large group of people holding protest slogans on the left side of the street.
This reminded Li Mochen of a few years ago, when he had just made a name for himself in the martial arts world. However, the content of the slogans was completely different from before. At a glance, they were all 'We don't want unemployment', 'We need jobs', 'You are the executioners of the middle class', 'Please keep Wildenstein textiles, this city needs it', 'Go to hell! Black-hearted Wildenstein ',' Go back to your hometown! Mixed-blood monkeys'.
However, Li Mochen had already adapted to this scene three years ago.
"So, the FBI used three level nine agents to spy on us for a whole year, and the CIA did the same."
Alisa felt a slight headache and rubbed her forehead. "Now many people think that you are too partial to the East and disdain the national interests of America."
"I'm willing to —"
Li Mochen's expression was quite unscrupulous. "They can't do anything to me, can they? The market and trade in the East have also brought us enough benefits. This year, Xuri Corporation has a net profit of 470 billion gold duns, and at least one-third of it comes from that ancient country. Industry transfer is also a trend, but it did not start with us. The service industry and high-end manufacturing industry are the future of this city and this country. "
Then he pointed outside. "Let Banfield check behind these people and see who is commanding them."
"No need to check, it must be the Vatican."
Alisa shrugged. "They will not let go of any opportunity to make you feel disgusted."
She was also indifferent to the protesters outside. In this regard, Li Mochen was generous enough. In recent years, although Li Mochen had transferred a part of Wildenstein Group's industries and factories in Atlanta to the East, there were more jobs in this city. Especially in recent years, the development of the territory in the Dark World brought a lot of magic materials to Atlanta.
Xuri Corporation and Li Mochen had 22 elite armorers, 27 mechanized soldiers, 15 dark cities, 9 large military fortresses, 8.3 million square kilometers of land, 29 large-scale monster farms, and 197 mining mines. This made the alchemy industry of Atlanta and Georgia extremely developed in recent years, and also attracted a large number of magic professionals to gather in this city.
In recent years, Xuri Corporation directly provided jobs for 1.7 million people. If the indirect upstream and downstream industry and service industry jobs were included, the number of jobs had exceeded 3 million. This was not including Wildenstein Group. The development speed of this family business in Kang Xiuli's hands was not inferior to that of Xuri Corporation. Because of the deeper foundation, the speed of expansion was even faster than Xuri Corporation. Only in terms of profit margin, because of the family business, it was inferior to Xuri Corporation.
And this time, Wildenstein Textile Factory's severance fee was 1.7 times that of the Wildenstein Group. The labor union did not put up too much of a fierce struggle, and the workers had already planned to leave. There were better jobs in this city with higher wages waiting for them.
"I said who is commanding, not instigating."
Li Mochen responded with a smile. "We can't cut them, but can't we cut their hands?"
"Wow, are you impatient?"
Alisa looked at Li Mochen curiously. "You didn't care about this kind of protest before."
