Chapter 398

"I'm not going to be a teacher. I'm going to manage the academy," Adam said to Garfield.

It was already the third day after the conversation with Lord Croft.

Although Adam had accepted the appointment, he did not have enough manpower. Although he had several research institutes under his name, the contracts of the researchers were all with the research institutes. Apart from the project, Adam had no command over them. Therefore, if he wanted to carry out his work, he still needed the support of Lord Croft and the Sorcerer's Congress.

He was now waiting for the help to arrive.

There were many other things that needed to be dealt with. All the sorcerers involved in the virtual world project would arrive in a few days. Kratos' True Spirit gave Adam full support and sent a genetic research team directly under the Holy Tower to settle in the research institute. Adam needed to tell them the purpose of the research after they arrived.

Otherwise, according to the usual style of the Fourth Holy Tower, it was very likely that they would create a powerful monster. If that happened, the precious Origin of the ruins would be wasted.

The guardians arrived very quickly. They had just officially joined the research. They had a magical way of analyzing the Origin that was completely different from the programming language. Adam did not understand it very well, so he put a clone beside them to integrate the two methods.

After knowing that he had to divert some of his attention to other aspects, Adam once again carefully reviewed his research plan. He found that his previous idea was still too simple. Sorcerers were extraordinary beings. For them, the real world must be more in-depth and detailed. It was definitely not something that could be achieved by the combination of material modules.

In the later stages of the virtual world project, it was very likely that it would become a large-scale project that involved all disciplines, systems, and elements.

"You know how to manage the academy? Sign a master-servant contract with your apprentices, plant a virus, and then tell them that if they don't listen to you, they will die? "Garfield complained.

As the only member of Adam's team who had some use in the world of sorcerers and was good at manipulating people's minds, he had to participate in this mission. However, leaving the Holy Tower meant that he had to separate from his new and old friends. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied, but he did not dare to resist Adam. He could only vent his anger with his poisonous tongue.

"Don't you think so, stupid dragon?"

Sophia looked at Adam and Garfield in confusion. She had no idea what they were talking about.

Wendy looked at Adam's proposal and said, "This position is not easy. It looks simple and you have the most authority, but it will be very difficult in practice. I reckon it's even more exhausting than your exploration missions. "

"Why?"

"The will of the people is always insufficient. When everyone wants to obtain more manpower, the Academy Continent will become a game. When three people gather together, there will be two or more different ideas. Moreover, there will definitely be thousands of academies in the Academy Continent. "

"Let's take it one step at a time."

Wendy continued, "This is a big move. The Holy Tower is easy to negotiate with, but the free Hyperdimensional corporations are not as easy to negotiate with as we are. To them, everything is fake, and only benefits are real."

Wendy took out a data report and threw it to Adam, then said, "Here, take a look. This is calculated using big data. It's the Dimensional War Attendance Table for the past ten thousand years. Tsk tsk, it's shocking. "

The table showed that in the past ten thousand years, the World of Sorcerers had conquered a total of sixteen thousand and five hundred planes. Among them, there were more than four thousand large planes, twenty-seven super-large planes, and the rest were small planes.

The standard for large planes here was that there was a large number of Hyperdimensional life forms. The standard for super-large planes was that there were level nine life forms.

In large-scale wars, the ratio of the free Hyperdimensional Wizard Towers to war was only five percent of the total number of soldiers. The rest were all Wizard Towers directly under the Holy Tower in the Hyperdimensional.

"Do you see it? Before we had big data, we didn't even know that the financial groups behind these superpowers were just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor. They would only fight small dimensional battles that they were certain to win and that they were certain to profit from. They would almost never participate in wars that could lead to death or damage to the corporations' interests. "

Adam suddenly remembered what Dean Victor said at that time. "If you want to get something, you have to pay first. That kind of feeling is not good." He seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence.

His train of thought continued uncontrollably. The corporations must have something to rely on if they did this. So, what was their reliance?

"It's because of this kind of attitude of theirs that the Holy Tower and the Council put restrictions on them, ordering them to train apprentices and then use a large number of resources in exchange for them to 'release' the geniuses among the apprentices." Wendy said the inside story that Adam did not know before with a look of disdain. As a level eight Hyperdimensional of the Third Holy Tower, she had seen too many similar things.

"They probably won't be too interested in the low-level and mid-level academies. If you insist, they will give in. But when it comes to the advanced academies, you will have a headache. They are a group of moths … well, parasites. They are harmless for now, but in the future … tsk tsk. "Wendy used the word 'tsk' to express her feelings and disgust for the second time.

Adam was really not used to these twists and turns. When he was an apprentice in the Moldova Tower, although the Tower Master and the Dean were free Hyperdimensional and sorcerers, they did not make things difficult for Adam. In other words, they were the exception among the free sorcerers. After he became a sorcerer, he had always been in the Holy Tower or on missions. The people he met were all good people, so he did not know the situation of the other free sorcerers at all.

Adam murmured, "Seems like it's going to be troublesome."

"It's not 'seems', it's going to be very troublesome. You can't kill them. Although the sorcerer's world allows duels and killing, you are just a level five Hyperdimensional. You definitely can't beat an experienced Hyperdimensional sorcerer.

But if you don't hurt them, they won't be afraid. You can only rely on the support of the Guardians and the Truesouls. This is a protective talisman. If you don't attack, no one will dare to attack you. But if you take the initiative to attack … you know what will happen. " Wendy directly told Adam about the deadlock he was about to face. "You have to be prepared to be a lone wolf. From now on, you are destined to stand on the opposite side of the Free Faction."

Adam understood that this was equivalent to taking sides. However, there was no need to hesitate. He had already been deeply imprinted with the label of the Holy Tower. Moreover, the philosophy of the Free Faction was not compatible with him. Even if he stuck to it, he would not feel comfortable.

Wendy suddenly said, "How about you ask the Guardians and Laura to let me be your bodyguard? When the time comes, if anyone dares to bully you, I will help you kill them! Don't worry, I am very strong. There are not many level eight Hyperdimensional sorcerers who are my opponents. "

As soon as her voice fell, a group of people teleported into Adam's laboratory. The leader said, "Is that so? Wendy, since when did you become so strong? "
