"Game? Vice-President, this is not a simple game. Legend Duel is a game that has been passed down since the Age of Gods..."
As soon as Merlin said this, Vice Dean Jenny rolled her eyes and said, "Are you trying to fool a legendary wizard? What kind of game is this? You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Have you forgotten what you told me when you made the Arena of Valor card?"
"Sorry, that's just a little too easy to say!" Merlin smiled awkwardly. He had fooled people so many times that he just said it casually.
"Ahem, this is what's going on. First of all, Arena of Valor is a collectible card game that is jointly operated by the Merlin Chamber of Commerce and the Arcane Academy. Arena of Valor has great potential to become a world-class collectible card game in the Azer continent. The profits it can bring will definitely be a huge sum of money. Let's put it this way, as long as the Arcane Academy has shares in Arena of Valor, it will never have to worry about funding problems in the future." Merlin said confidently.
Jenny raised her eyebrows in disbelief. She didn't believe that such a small card could bring such a huge profit. "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true. Do I need to lie to you? I'm the president of the student union of the Arcane Academy now. What good would it do to lie to you about this?"
Merlin rolled his eyes. "I deliberately arranged this conflict because I took into account that the new students from different races would definitely have conflicts and frictions due to their different races, cultures, and philosophies. You know, many of these races have feuds. I wanted to actively ignite the conflict before it breaks out, so that the academy won't be able to handle it in time if it is passively ignited."
"If a race with a feud like this fights in the arena, they will definitely fight to the death. If a student dies or is seriously injured, it will be difficult for the academy to handle it. So I thought why not just bring the students' disputes to Arena of Valor and resolve the fight between them through the Arena of Valor card game. This way there won't be any danger."
Jenny had never thought that Merlin would consider this aspect. "It's a good idea, but are you sure they will do it the way you say?"
"The rest depends on the guidance of the academy and the student union. They should slowly brainwash the students and let them know subconsciously that if they want to resolve conflicts, they can rely on Duel of Legends. As for how to guide them, there are many ways. At most, they can release some credits and give some rewards and benefits. Of course, they should also promote Duel of Legends. I have decided that the front page of the next issue of Azer Arcane News will be the duel between Lucy and Leopardmon, and the title will be something like The Child Chosen by the Cards, the Mysterious Girl with the Qualifications of a Legendary Duelist."
Merlin chuckled. Of course, the most important thing was that he had already invested too many gold coins in the collectible card game Arena of Valor. It was time to make a profit. He deliberately set a very high price for the legendary cards today, and he even prepared an official channel for recycling cards to hype up the value of the cards.
"Ranking competitions like this are also very necessary. Competition and honor are added. I intend to talk to the six empires and other races and send representatives of status to personally present the Legendary Duelist Medal to those on the list. It would be even better if a demigod could be invited to crown the Duel King..."
Jenny looked at Merlin in dumbfounded. The first part might actually be possible, but the second part, you actually wanted a demigod to be crowned the Duel King. This kind of thing is simply a fantasy!
"Don't mess around, this is just a card game. You advertised this game as entertainment for the gods. This is already very bold. Don't do anything rash. I'm really scared." Jenny was not lying about being scared. She was really a little scared of this Merlin, a junior magician who was fearless and had plotted against the six empires and other races. He even targeted demigods. Demigods are also gods, okay?
"I'm just talking, that's just an ideal situation." Merlin shrugged. However, the popularity of Arena of Valor cards has already been hyped up, and now they need to take advantage of this popularity to let more people know about it.
Jenny suddenly asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, how does this Legendary Arena Gold List work? How can you be sure that everyone who competes will be recorded in it?"
"Well, currently the Gold List only covers the Arcane Academy and the Arcane City. As for how to determine it, you must apply for formal rankings like this, and you must have a record of being a student union member. As for in the Arcane City, you can apply to the Arena of Valor store that sells card packs." Merlin said indifferently.
"And you just said that you would cover the entire Aize continent? Aren't you afraid that this would be discovered?" Jenny looked at Merlin with a strange expression.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. After all, Arena of Valor cards are only sold in the Arcane City and the Arcane Academy."
"What should we do next?"
Yuna stepped forward and said with a smile, "Vice-President, don't worry about this. President Merlin has already started cooperation with the Temple. The Temple will become the vanguard for us to sell and supervise the Legend Duel."
"The Temple? Is the Temple involved in this matter?" Jenny was even more surprised. If there is any force that exists everywhere on the continent of Aize, it must be the Temple. The temples of various gods can be found in places as big as the capital of the empire and as small as rural fields.
"Why should we cooperate with the Temple?" Jenny didn't have a good impression of those people in the Temple.
"The profits from Arena of Valor are too huge. We have to share some of it. This has been considered from many perspectives, and it will also be beneficial to the future development of the academy." Merlin smiled gently. The most powerful and attractive thing about Arena of Valor is not the means of making quick money, but something that only those who have reached a certain level can understand... the power of faith!
If the gods really condescend to become "mythical" characters in Arena of Valor, or are made into cards, when Arena of Valor becomes a world-class game in Azer, the endless power of faith will definitely trigger a scramble among the gods.
The moon goddess Selene was willing to stay by Merlin's side in order to gain his faith. You can imagine how important this thing is to the gods.
Vice Dean Jenny sighed that she was really old and could not keep up with the thinking of young people at all. She waved her hand and left. No matter whether it was Merlin or Yuna, they would be hit hard as long as they were around these two people.
"President Merlin, the plan has been completed. You have worked hard these days. Shouldn't you take a good rest in the future?" Yuna watched the vice president leave, turned her head and looked at Merlin with a bright smile.
"You're right. It's time to have a good rest. We haven't relaxed for such a long time. And I also want to try the raspberry jam bread. I've been thinking about it for a long time." Merlin now doesn't dare to eat the things he made. Others may not know, but he knows what kind of "black magic" is involved. He is afraid of tasting the stinky taste of goblin's feet.
