Chapter 1 A Topic of Conversation

Nie Yan became the talk of the entire school, the third person in the school's history to enter the ace major! What an honor!

Yang Boyi rushed over, showering Nie Yan with praise. Nie Yan's grades had truly exceeded his expectations, shaking the entire school administration. The school was busily preparing some activities to celebrate and planned to heavily promote a top student like Nie Yan to attract more students.

Yang Boyi informed Nie Yan that he would be participating in some speeches and the like, which made Nie Yan quite annoyed. However, with the reputation of Hua University High School and its influence in Huahai City, he didn't dare to slack off, doing everything to perfection.

After busying himself for nearly three hours, Nie Yan was quite exhausted, but he had managed to give the school face.

Nie Yan could be considered a legend in Hua University High School. Such achievements were unprecedented in the school's history. In just a few hours, Nie Yan's grades had spread to Ningjiang through some channel, possibly through other students from Ningjiang at Hua University High School.

When his former classmates at his old high school heard about Nie Yan's grades, they were all incredulous. Nie Yan's grades had only ranked him in the top five in their class. How could he have suddenly exploded after transferring to Hua University High School, and so fiercely at that? They tried every means to inquire and confirmed that it was indeed that Nie Yan. They were all speechless. The world was changing too fast, and their thinking seemed to be lagging behind.

After settling everything, Nie Yan drove Xie Yao back, then went to his father's company. When Nie's father learned that Nie Yan had been admitted to the ace major of the First Military Academy, he was overjoyed and had the entire company decorated with red ribbons and celebrated grandly.

Nie's father beamed with pride in front of his relatives. Seeing his father's happy appearance, Nie Yan was also delighted, and he felt an urge to cry, thinking of his past life.

After two hours of celebration, the company finally calmed down.

Nie Yan chatted with Achen, discussing the recent development of the War God Tribe. The development of the War God Tribe had temporarily gotten on the right track, but the funding gap was still huge. At least several hundred thousand gold coins were needed to expand their operations.

Nisoder City's popularity was second only to Carole City, and its foundation was very good. Something had happened to the Tuoba family, and the management of several guilds under their command had severely split, leading to chaos. They were considering withdrawing from the virtual industry and were selling off a large amount of virtual assets, naturally unable to take care of the guilds under their command. The War God Tribe had developed rapidly in this situation. They had recruited dozens of studios, using the studio members as the main body, and then vigorously expanded the guild, developing rapidly. With dozens of studios as the backbone, the War God Tribe's expansion speed could be said to be astonishing.

As in his previous life, the Nie family's huge capital played a role. Using money as a weapon was naturally invincible.

The War God Tribe's future development potential was very large. In his previous life, the War God Tribe's development approached the peak of the Triumphant Empire. In the war with the Triumphant Empire, they had once gained an advantage. One could imagine how glorious the War God Tribe was at that time!

"I'll solve the funding problem. It'll be available tomorrow," Nie Yan said. He would have a large amount of surplus money tomorrow after selling the remaining equipment that added Dark Vision, which he would use to invest in the War God Tribe, the Galan Temple, and the Holy Roman Empire. These guilds also needed to develop!

Nie Yan chatted with Achen, learning about the general situation of the War God Tribe. Although it was a bit slow, it was much better than at this time in his previous life, since they had only just started expanding.

In addition, after Nie Yan reminded him, Nie's father participated in the Tuoba family's conflict and made a profit. He then began secretly acquiring a large number of shares in several listed companies under the Century Financial Group. They were absorbing shares slowly, but they were doing it extremely secretly, making it basically undetectable.

Nie's father naturally understood that this matter had to be done in secret, otherwise, the consequences would be very serious if the Century Financial Group discovered it.

His father was very skilled in the operation of capital, so Nie Yan was not worried. The failure in his previous life was partly because he had invested too much in the War God Tribe. The War God Tribe collapsed before recouping the investment when it reached its peak. On the other hand, it was also because his uncle Luo Ming and others in the company had tripped Nie's father. The threat of Luo Ming and others had already been eliminated by Nie Yan. With the support of Nie Yan, the War God Tribe did not have to spend a lot of credits to buy gold coins, so his father's investment in the War God Tribe was naturally much smaller. In this way, the crisis was basically cleared by Nie Yan.

The company's operations had been very successful recently. The total amount of funds controlled by Nie's father had reached more than one billion. Naturally, it couldn't compare to those large financial groups, but it was still a small achievement. The company was rapidly expanding and extending its reach to other industries.

The future landscape of Greenland seemed to have been set.

"Recently, the Century Financial Group's funds have had new movements. It seems to be flowing to *Faith* in large quantities, and they should be constantly expanding their gold farming group. I heard you are fighting against Warblade Bloodlust. You have to be careful," Achen reminded Nie Yan. This was the information he had received not long ago.

"Understood. I now have a fixed source of income. If the Century Financial Group really wants to continue, I couldn't be happier. The longer they spend, the greater their losses," Nie Yan said. The profit from traveling back and forth between the underground and the surface was very large.

"A fixed source of income?" Achen was a little surprised. Even if Nie Yan's income was high, even with several auction houses combined, it probably couldn't compete with the Century Financial Group, right?

Nie Yan told him that he could travel back and forth between the underground and the surface so that Achen could have a better understanding.

Achen was a little surprised. No wonder Nie Yan was able to suddenly get so much equipment that added Dark Vision. Nie Yan could travel back and forth between the surface and the underground every ten days, so the money was really endless. If the Century Financial Group really confronted Nie Yan, it would drag the Century Financial Group into a bottomless quagmire.

Warblade Bloodlust was destined to become a discarded pawn of the Century Financial Group. The Century Financial Group's main energy was focused on Angel Corp. Angel Corp was favored by the Century Financial Group and two major fund companies, and its development conditions far exceeded those of other guilds. The Century Financial Group's main energy was focused on operating Angel Corp. For the Century Financial Group, the three guilds of Warblade Bloodlust, Mages Alliance, and Holy Guardians were unimportant. If they really touched their interests, the Century Financial Group might abandon Warblade Bloodlust.

Before developing air cavalry, Angel Corp was far away in the Saturn Empire and would not threaten them for the time being. Nie Yan could deal with Warblade Bloodlust, Mages Alliance, and Holy Guardians at his leisure. Now he wanted to spend some of the Century Financial Group's funds as much as possible to prepare for dealing with the Century Financial Group in the future.

That's what Nie Yan was thinking.

"Since you have such a large income, there's no need to worry about competing with the Century Financial Group."

Achen sighed inwardly. The War God Tribe had really hooked up with a sugar daddy. With Nie Yan around, they would never have to worry about money. With Nie Yan's large amount of financial support, the War God Tribe could develop and expand its territory, and it would be okay to establish a gold farming group later, focusing on guild construction first.

Achen talked about their detailed plan, including developing fortresses, etc., in order to coordinate with the Asskickers United.

Nie Yan looked at their planning proposal. It was still very solid. There was absolutely no problem in entrusting the affairs of the War God Tribe to Achen.

In his previous life, the War God Tribe was also handled by Achen alone, and it developed very well. The reason why it collapsed was because the opponent was too strong. The Century Financial Group controlled five super guilds, and these five super guilds put pressure on the War God Tribe at the same time. In addition, the Century Financial Group's funds were constantly moving behind the scenes, which brought down the War God Tribe. In this life, most of the threats around the War God Tribe had been resolved, so the War God Tribe naturally didn't have to worry about these problems.

Nie Yan returned from his father's company, looked at the time, and it was almost time to go online. He ate dinner at home and put on his game helmet again.

There were still twenty minutes before the game started. Although he couldn't log in after putting on the game helmet, he could browse the content on the official website.

Nie Yan began to browse the official website, searching for all information related to magic protection.

Magic protection was a kind of magic barrier, condensed from magic elements, which needed some things to activate, such as rune marks, magic arrays, scrolls, and the like.

Seeing this, Nie Yan remembered that he had indeed seen some runes on the pillars of the iron fence, which were probably what activated the magic protection. After the magic protection was activated, people could not pass through the barrier, and at the same time, no items could be transferred inside or outside the barrier.

Nie Yan continued to read the information. There were detailed explanations of various magic protection barriers, and there were many classifications of magic protection, which were dazzling. He also needed to observe the patterns of those runes to determine which type of magic protection it was.

After searching for other information, Nie Yan still didn't find anything useful.

Could it be that he could only deal with that Black Flame Hound and kill it to get the key to open the iron fence?

With Nie Yan's strength, it was impossible!

While Nie Yan was troubled, he suddenly remembered a foreword in the Magic Primer that described magic immunity. The Magic Primer was a passage of text about magic published on the official website.

That foreword was: Magic elements are immortal spirits. In the world, there is the sharpest sword, and there is the most solid shield. When the order of magic is destroyed, magic elements cannot be guided.

The destruction of the order of magic refers to magic immunity!

The meaning of this sentence is that magic immunity can completely isolate magic elements from the perspective of element formation.
