While Ryougi Shiki and the others were fighting hard with the Son of Fukailin in the snow and ice, Fang Zheng was curled up in the warm and comfortable carriage, humming a song and chatting with Fiore.

"What? Not enough funds? More money, more money. We have plenty of money. That's the good thing about capitalism. As long as there is money, people will kill and burn people, not to mention that what we do is legal..."

What Fang Zheng was discussing with Fiore right now was nothing else but a part of Fang Zheng's "Games Change the World" plan.

After getting the information provided by Ai Ge, Fang Zheng had already figured out how to use the information. He divided it into three parts.

First, a novel and animation will be created based on this information, then a card game will be launched based on this, and finally, it will be ported to the console.

Fang Zheng has also designed the general content of this animation. Most of its content is borrowed from Harry Potter, except that the protagonist is changed to a Japanese-British mixed-race. Apart from that, the plot is similar to the original. The protagonist is an orphan who lives with distant relatives, and then receives an invitation to enroll in school from London. Then the protagonist overcomes all difficulties and goes to London, and comes to a magic school he has never heard of - Clock Tower.

What follows is similar to the plot of Harry Potter. The protagonist spends an unforgettable life in school, and then discovers the secret of his own life experience, while also fighting against Voldemort, who threatens their existence.

This is the general plot, but Fang Zheng has made some changes in other places.

For example, he changed the original four colleges into the twelve disciplines of the Clock Tower, and the means of fighting between magicians was also changed to a duel card format similar to Yu-Gi-Oh. Students of each discipline have cards with different attributes, and they can also create new cards through their own power. Students of different disciplines will also use these cards to fight.

As for why we use cards to fight... is it your business?

Can’t we play Gwent instead of saving the world?

The problem lies with the cards of these twelve subjects.

That’s right, Fang Zheng had completely exposed the most secret magic of the twelve monarch families of the Clock Tower to the public in the form of cards.

After all, magic itself is a very niche thing. Except for avid readers and players, most people don’t like to dig deep into the theories or knowledge involved.

However, it’s different when it’s made into a card.

For example, the effect of a card called "XX Magic" is "XXOO", which makes it easy for players to remember. One of the reasons for the mysterious disappearance of magic is that once this game spreads to the whole world and is known by people all over the world, the magic system of the twelve families will be no different from a complete collapse.

As for whether it can be done, Fang Zheng is really not worried at all. In a capitalist society, as long as you have money, you can do anything. Just like Melatonin, you may not like Melatonin, but you must know it. If there is a magic trick called Melatonin, the grass on the grave would be three feet high by now.

Besides, money makes the world go round.

Fang Zheng paid a world-famous light novel writer to write this novel, and then promoted it vigorously. Facts have proved that everything went smoothly. With Fang Zheng's promotion at all costs, the novel has now spread throughout Asia. At this time, Fang Zheng took the opportunity to launch comic and animation versions. After the animation version is broadcast, the audience base should spread to the world. At that time, he can also hold some similar international competitions to attract the attention of players from various countries, and then sell card games. At the same time, he may even be able to make a movie or a TV series. As long as the quality is good and the pictures are outstanding, the rest will definitely not be a problem.

As for money...the CIA has plenty of it.

No, we still have the FBI.

Fang Zheng had managed to find a loophole in the mission - although the mission stated that it was not allowed to use technology beyond this world to create games, using technology beyond this world to make money was not within the limits, right?

As long as you have money, will the remaining problems still be problems?

So, the system is still too young.

Let me show you what it means that your dad is still your dad.

"Boom boom boom."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Hearing the knock, Fang Zheng closed his personal terminal and turned back into Red Ponytail.

"Come in."

As Fang Zheng was speaking, the door of the guest room opened, and then an unexpected person walked in.

He was a young man wearing glasses and looking gentle and refined—Kolles Fulvigi Eugdomrenia.

"Miss Red Ponytail."

"Hmm? What do you want from me?"

Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him.

"I have something I want to discuss with you alone. It's about modern magic..."

"Modern magic department?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

"If it's about the modern magic department, wouldn't I ask Waver? Why would I ask you, a fake?"

“…”

For a moment, the whole room was shrouded in a deathly silence. After several minutes, Kolesi, or someone who had transformed into Kolesi, stood up straight and smiled bitterly.

"I never thought you would see through me."

"Nonsense, I knew you were a fake the first time I saw you."

Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows. Are you kidding? Using an illusion in front of a prophecy wizard? Are you tired of living? This trick might be able to fool others, but if you want to fool Fang Zheng, you're dreaming.

"I'm so sorry."

The counterfeit lowered his head.

"Although I want to talk to you in my true form, it will take some time, so I can't do it."

"It doesn't matter. I have no interest in why you pretend to be Corless, but if you think you can fool us with your mediocre tricks, you are courting death."

"I didn't intend to tease Qianjieshu. In fact, even if you didn't point it out, I would have revealed my identity."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng changed his posture and leaned back on the sofa.

"So what do you mean? You, a guy who doesn't even dare to show his face, do you still have an identity?"

"certainly."

The fake smiled.

"You can call me DR. Hartress."

"The one who sells yachts?"

“Just the same name.”

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. What do you want to do? Let me make it clear in advance that if it's a charity donation, we won't pay a penny."

"In fact, I want to cooperate with Qianjieshu."

"cooperate?"

"That's right."

Hatteras stared at the red ponytail in front of him and continued.

"I have heard a little about what the Thousand Worlds Tree did. In fact, I have the same opinion. For the past two thousand years, magicians have been targeting the root, but isn't that too stupid? Magicians bound by the root have no right to choose for themselves. They are just ghosts and puppets left over from history."

At this point, Hatteras raised his hands.

“So, I want to completely change the way modern magicians exist.”

"Um."

Hearing what Hatres said, Fang Zheng just nodded.

"So? What are you going to do?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you that right now."

Hatteras shook his head slightly.

"We need to build more trust. Before that, I can't tell you my specific plan."

“That’s understandable.”

Fang Zheng nodded, but what he said next was beyond Hatres's imagination.

"But I refuse."

Upon hearing this answer, Hatteras's expression froze.

"Why?"

"We at Thousand Worlds Tree have our own way of doing things. Indeed, we want to change everything, but our goal is for the survival of this world and the entire human race. We have formulated a strict plan with clear goals and directions."

Having said this, Fang Zheng spread out his hands.

"And you? Up to now, you have been hiding behind the scenes, not even daring to come out and see people. Not only that, you also kill people at will..."

"For great ends, small means are necessary."

"Of course, I agree with this statement, but unfortunately, people with different ideals cannot work together."

Fang Zheng snorted softly.

"I'm sorry, but I think that even if we have the same goal, our ideas and methods are completely different... But you can try your idea. I will neither support nor oppose it. The same goes for the Thousand World Tree."

However, in the face of Fang Zheng's answer, Hatteras's expression did not change at all.

"You don't need to answer so quickly, Miss Red Ponytail."

He smiled and spoke.

"Perhaps, after a while, you will change your mind."

The blizzard was still howling.

The girls panted as they ran through the withered woods and moved forward.

"How long until we reach the taproot!"

"How should I know? It's difficult to judge the flow of magic power in this place!"

Olga Marie ran out of breath and complained unhappily. But at this moment, Gray suddenly stopped.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Miss Grey?"

"Everyone……"

Gray bit her lip as she looked at the girls who turned to look at her.

"You guys go now, I..."

"No, no one is leaving here."

However, before Gray could finish her words, she was interrupted by a voice that appeared out of nowhere.

Then, a woman wearing a red battle robe, with black hair and holding a dagger, walked out and stood in front of them.

"Sorry, little girls."

The black-haired woman raised the dagger in her hand.

"This is the command of my Lord."

"What is that?"

Looking at the black-haired woman in front of her, Olga Marie couldn't help but tremble. She could feel the strong sense of oppression and power coming from that woman, and Gray next to her tightly grasped the sickle in her hand.

"As a follower..."

"Why?"

"She was the one who attacked me and my master before..."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Olga Marie's face changed drastically, but Ryougi Shiki's eyes lit up. Then she clenched the knife, walked out, and stared at the woman opposite.

"I've heard Xiao Hong tell the story of the Holy Grail War before, but I never thought I would meet a Servant here..."

As she spoke, Ryougi Shiki raised the knife in her hand.

"Then let me see how powerful the heroes in human legends are!"
