Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Cooperation Established, Research Begins

?

"Boss, didn't sleep last night?" Wang Shenxing walked into the study and saw Qin Muye reading with some curiosity.

Qin Muye nodded, "Haven't slept yet. Spent the first half of the night sorting out the 'Introduction,' since I'm meeting the envoy today to further negotiate, and spent the rest of the night reading books."

As he spoke, Qin Muye picked up the book in his hand to indicate.

He had previously contacted the president of Wen Country through Chen Lu, the governor, and they had reached a cooperation agreement. In a show of goodwill, he prepared an 'Introduction,' and today the envoy would arrive by plane to discuss various matters, but mostly about the cooperation on developing magic.

This so-called 'Introduction' naturally consisted of the "Basic Element Meditation Method" and "Evil Curse," but he discovered a terrifying fact-the world had no elements, making meditation impossible.

However, it wasn't an issue for him as he possessed an "Intermediate Mysticism" that could restore 20% of his Magic Value daily, which was barely sufficient for him.

Fortunately, this was also a good thing because he could collaborate with Wen Country to research Magic Power, attempting to delve deeper into this special energy type. If it were just him alone, it indeed would be difficult, but Wen Country had a robust scientific system, a large population, and advanced technology.

With such a nation to support him, in these 30 days, he could gather more resources to strengthen himself.

For instance, knowledge of firearms and various industrial and agricultural systems-if he learned them, he could take his territory to the next level once he returned.

The magic of the Magic Continent was miraculous but relied too much on elements, which wasn't good.

Exchanging 24 hours for 30 days was certainly a big win for Qin Muye.

"Do you want to take a look?" Qin Muye said and threw the "Basic Element Meditation Method" to Wang Shenxing, who caught it instinctively.

"Is... is this okay?" Wang Shenxing hesitated.

"Why wouldn't it be? Consider it a little thank-you gift. 'Element Meditation Method, 'I'm practicing this too. If you can capture elements and convert them into Magic Power, you could also become a Mage," Qin Muye explained, not using the word "Basic" as it felt somewhat insulting.

He had almost learned everything about being a Mage, of course, only the stuff from the Reclassification Certificate he bought from the Points store.

Currently, he thought not about following the traditional path of a Mage from the Magic Continent or growing according to "Lord Era's" Mage path but rather wanted to grow wildly on his own.

Conforming to the norms wouldn't allow him to surpass others. The innate differences were too despairing. Hence Qin Muye had to take an unconventional approach to catch others off guard.

It seemed like he was leaking magic, revealing the fun of having a unique technique, but he wasn't there to throw it in anyone's face; he was there for his own benefit, so it had to be a win-win.

"Much appreciated, Boss. By the way, we have a scene this afternoon. It's roughly about how you slapped me yesterday, and I got quite upset. Next, it involves arranging some thugs to trouble you, and then you'll beat them up. That's pretty much the plot," Wang Shenxing commented.

"Won't you be there?" Qin Muye asked, noting that he hadn't triggered any chapter mission. "Not there, but I'll happen, by chance, to call and check in when you catch me, and then you'll start retaliating. Specifically, you'll use an Elixir that can beautify with Shen Qingqing to compete against my family's latest beauty products," Wang Shenxing expressed.

Qin Muye knew the script but only broadly; Wang Shenxing had mentioned it before, though he hadn't taken it to heart.

"Do you need it?" Qin Muye asked pointedly.

"I don't." Wang Shenxing knew he was dealing with a smart person who probably guessed he had issues, and perhaps the other party might have something similar. Hence, it was an unspoken mutual understanding.

"Then let's skip that. I'm not Xiao Chen; I don't have a beauty Elixir," Qin Muye rolled his eyes, continue, "Hurry and memorize the Meditation Method. When the time comes, it is to be given to the envoy."

Hearing this, Wang Shenxing was startled, then quickly bowed his head to recite, leaving Qin Muye puzzled.

"Why memorize?"

"Um, how about you take a photo of the writing?" Qin Muye kindly suggested.

This made Wang Shenxing embarrassingly realize, memorizing wasn't faster nor more fail- proof than taking photos.

"Forgot, forgot," Wang Shenxing said grudgingly as he took out a high-resolution video camera and started to photograph page by page.

Time flew by quickly, and soon Chen Lu arrived with an envoy.

"This is Cabinet Minister Luo She, this here, is Scholar, you two have met over a video call before," Chen Lu introduced immediately.

Qin Muye also got up to shake hands, "Minister Luo, I've long admired your reputation." "Not at all, Scholar, please sit," Luo She knew this was an unusual meeting. "Good, Minister Luo, please take a seat. Let's not beat around the bush. You probably understand the negotiations we had before. This is the 'Element Meditation Method.' Magic Power is the foundation of magic, and to have Magic Power, the corresponding Meditation Technique is essential."

"And this is 'Evil Curse,' a Military Level Fire System Magic, which is the basis for our starting

point."

He pushed the books containing these two pieces of knowledge across.

Then, Luo She also took out a USB drive, "This is some basic knowledge about industry, agriculture, and healthcare that you, Scholar Sir, requested."

Both were giving basic things, but for both parties, they were critically needed.

"Thank you for your country's support; this is the start of our mutual development. However,

I must remind you that due to the differences in the world's environment, there are no

elements in this world, so..."

He didn't finish, but the implication was clear.

That meant you likely can't meditate.

This caused Luo She to frown. Was this guy setting a trap for a free ride?

"But we can collaborate to research Magic Power, this special energy, to recreate it. If I work with your country, providing the conditions are sufficient, within seven days we could produce enough results. However, I will need more knowledge support in return."

Qin Muye's meaning was clear: they would research together, and when the time came, they would share the results. In return, he gave, and if you don't provide more benefits, they could

just walk away.

Unsurprisingly, Luo She agreed. It was a good deal; the knowledge Qin Muye requested, despite being given more, would never touch on core areas, only things that could be found or bought online, costing almost nothing.
