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 top-tier major! What an honor!

Yang Boyi hurried over, praising Nie Yan profusely. Nie Yan's grades were truly beyond his expectations. The entire school administration was shaken. The school was busily preparing some activities to celebrate and would publicize Nie Yan's achievements to attract more students.

Yang Boyi informed Nie Yan that he would be participating in some speeches and other events, which annoyed Nie Yan. However, given the influence of Hua University High School in Huahai City, he did not dare to slack off and did his best to handle everything perfectly.

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

Nie Yan had become a legend at Hua University High School. Such achievements were unprecedented in the school's history. In just a few hours, news of Nie Yan's grades had spread to Ningjiang, possibly through other students from Ningjiang attending Hua University High School.

Nie Yan's former high school classmates were incredulous when they heard about Nie Yan's grades. He had ranked among the top five in their class, at best. How could he suddenly explode with such force after transferring to Hua University High School? They tried every possible means to confirm that it was indeed that Nie Yan, and were left speechless. The world was changing too fast, and they couldn't keep up.

After taking care of everything, Nie Yan drove Xie Yao back home, then paid a visit to his father's company. Nie's father was overjoyed to learn that Nie Yan had been admitted to the top major at the First Military Academy. He had the entire company decorated with festive colors and celebrated lavishly.

Nie's father beamed with pride in front of his relatives. Seeing his father's happy expression, Nie Yan was also very happy and 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 developments of the War God Tribe. The War God Tribe's development was temporarily on the right track, but the funding gap was still large, requiring at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins to expand the business.

Nisoder City's popularity was second only to Carol City, with a good foundation. Something had happened to the Tuoba family, causing severe division among the management of several of its affiliated guilds and leading to chaos. They were considering withdrawing from the virtual industry and selling off a large amount of virtual assets, so they naturally couldn't care for their affiliated guilds. The War God Tribe had grown rapidly in this situation. They recruited dozens of studios, primarily using studio personnel, and then rapidly expanded the guild, quickly developing. With dozens of studios as the backbone, the War God Tribe's expansion speed could be described as astonishing.

As in his previous life, the Nie family's massive capital played a role, using money as a sharp weapon, they were naturally invincible.

The War God Tribe's future development potential was very high. In his previous life, the War God Tribe's development approached the peak of the Triumphant Empire. During the war with the Triumphant Empire, it once held the 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 sell the remaining Dark Vision equipment tomorrow and have a lot of spare money. He would use it to invest in the War God Tribe, the Garrean Temple, and the Holy Roman Empire. These guilds also needed development!

Nie Yan chatted with Achen and learned about the general situation of the War God Tribe. Although it was a little slow, it was much better than at this time in his previous life. After all, the business had just started.

In addition, Nie's father, at his reminder, participated in the Tuoba family's conflict and made a fortune. He began to secretly acquire a large number of shares in several listed companies under the Century Financial Group. They were absorbing shares slowly, but they were doing it very secretly, making it difficult to detect.

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

His father was very skilled in capital operations, so Nie Yan wasn't worried. The failure in his previous life was partly because he 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 Luo Ming and others, his uncle, tripped Nie's father in the company. The threat of Luo Ming and others had been eliminated by Nie Yan. With Nie Yan's support, the War God Tribe did not need to spend a lot of credits to acquire gold coins. 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 a billion. Naturally, it could not compare with those large financial groups, but it was still a small achievement. The company was expanding rapidly 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 shown new trends. They seem to be flowing in large quantities to Faith, presumably to continuously expand their gold farming team. I heard that you are fighting a war of attrition with Warblade Thirst for Blood. You must be careful," Achen reminded Nie Yan. This was 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 the attrition, I couldn't be happier. The longer it lasts, the greater their losses," Nie Yan said. The profit from traveling between the underground and the surface was very large each time.

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

Nie Yan told Achen about his ability to travel between the underground and the surface, so that Achen would have an idea.

Achen was a little surprised. No wonder Nie Yan was able to suddenly obtain so much Dark Vision equipment. Nie Yan could travel back and forth between the surface and the underground every ten days. The money was really endless. If the Century Financial Group really confronted Nie Yan, it would drag the Century Financial Group into a never-ending quagmire.

Warblade Thirst for Blood was destined to become a pawn of the Century Financial Group. The Century Financial Group was currently focusing its main energy on Angel Corps. Angel Corps was favored by the Century Financial Group and two major fund companies. Its development conditions far exceeded other guilds. The Century Financial Group's main energy was focused on managing Angel Corps. For the Century Financial Group, the three guilds of Warblade Thirst for Blood, the Mage Alliance, and the Holy Guardians were irrelevant. If their interests were truly touched, it was possible for the Century Financial Group to abandon Warblade Thirst for Blood.

Before developing air cavalry, Angel Corps was far away in the Satreen Empire and could not threaten them for the time being. Nie Yan could leisurely deal with Warblade Thirst for Blood, the Mage Alliance, and the Holy Guardians. Now, try to consume some of the Century Financial Group's funds in preparation for dealing with the Century Financial Group in the future.

That's what Nie Yan was thinking.

"Since you have such a large income, you don't have to worry about fighting an attrition war with the Century Financial Group."

Achen sighed inwardly. The War God Tribe had really found a sugar daddy. With Nie Yan around, they would never have to worry about money. With Nie Yan's large financial support, the War God Tribe could develop and expand its territory on a large scale. As for the gold farming team, it wouldn't matter if they established it later. They should focus on guild construction first.

Achen explained their detailed plan, including opening up fortresses, etc., in order to coordinate with the Niu Ren Tribe.

Nie Yan looked at their plan. It was still very stable. There was absolutely no problem in handing over the matters of the War God Tribe to Achen.

In his previous life, the War God Tribe was also handled by Achen alone. It developed very well. The reason 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 external threats to 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, checked the time, and it was almost time to go online. He had 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 to the game after putting on his helmet, he could browse the content on the official website.

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

Magic protection was a kind of magic barrier, condensed from magical elements, and needed something to activate it, such as rune marks, magic circles, scrolls, and the like.

Seeing this, Nie Yan remembered that he had indeed seen some runes on the iron bars. It was estimated that those runes 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 transmitted inside or outside the barrier.

Nie Yan continued to read the information. There were detailed explanations of various magic protection barriers. There were many types of magic protection, which was dazzling. He also had to observe the patterns of those runes in order to determine what type of magic protection it was.

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

Could it be that he could only deal with that black flame hellhound and kill the black flame hellhound to get the key to open the iron bars?

With Nie Yan's strength, it was impossible!

Just as Nie Yan was distressed, he suddenly remembered a preface on the Magic Primer, which described magic immunity. The Magic Primer was a paragraph of text about magic released on the official website.

The preface was: Magical elements are immortal spirits. Where there is the sharpest sword in the world, there is the firmest shield. When the order of magic is broken, magical elements cannot be guided.

The order of magic being broken refers to magic immunity!

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