Versatile Mage: Demon Mage

Chapter 526 Struggle of Interests
As soon as this topic was brought up, the atmosphere on the scene became subtle. Wang Teng was a point that none of them were willing to touch.

The situation was going well, but it was ruined by someone. In addition, the situation was complicated and there were unknown factors, so it was put on hold.

Wang Teng became a nominal retiree and was basically separated from the Palace Museum. No one objected at the time and everyone acquiesced to this matter.

However, we did not expect that the situation would change suddenly afterwards, and the Holy City was actually overthrown, leading to the current situation.

Wang Teng has become the true uncrowned king, and this can be seen from the compensation resources provided by those European forces.

Giving away such a huge amount of top-level resources like this would probably cause great losses.

Not to mention that the Xinghai Tianmai is completely monopolized on the market at this moment, and even the price of refined resource veins has skyrocketed.

Among them, Valhalla plays an extremely important role in promoting this, and the world's pattern has undergone tremendous changes as a result.

The peak combat power of humanity will gradually gather in the Hall of Heroes, and this is an unstoppable trend.

There are naturally pros and cons in this. The good thing is that humans now have a reserve of combat power, and they only need to train super-class summoning mages in the future.

This plays a vital role in human survival. After all, top-level resources are not so easy to obtain.

The bad side is that at the current stage, there will be a serious shortage and monopoly of resources, and civilian mages will basically stop at the high level.

If we want to make any changes, we may have to wait until the Valhalla system is fully operational so that humans will have sufficient combat power to obtain more resources.

Only when resources are abundant will more powerful mages emerge among humans, thus forming a virtuous circle and completely changing the current disadvantaged situation of mankind.

As senior leaders who are on the side of the vested interest group, they can naturally see the benefits.

This means there is no opposition to the popularity of Valhalla, after all, they are the group of people with the best chance of entering.

As long as there is selfishness, it is difficult to betray one's own interests to seek benefits for others. History has proven this countless times.

With huge resources in his possession, Wang Teng naturally became the focus of attention of major forces around the world, and they all looked forward to cooperating with him.

This is mainly because the other party's behavior makes many people feel like a cat that smells blood.

Everything Wang Teng has done so far has basically been in compliance with the rules, and the forces and people related to him have basically made a lot of money.

This kind of excellent performance is like an ownerless gold mine, attracting countless people.

"What resources do you think the other party is still lacking? What kind of resources can impress the other party?" Pang Lai replied unhappily.

Those present were all high-level leaders, and everyone knew some secret information, but there were some things that could be known but could not be said openly.

Shao Zheng sat in his seat expressionlessly and sighed silently in his heart. It was too difficult to make up for the strategic problems.

"This is what we all discussed. Otherwise, are we just going to give up like this?"

"Even though shipping is difficult at the moment, it still carries more than half of the country's economic resources."

President Liu simply put the problem on the table. What else could possibly make the other party's heart flutter? The Core of the Dimension!
Otherwise, why do you want to bribe him with money? That guy has nearly 200 billion in domestic deposits, and it's even increasing.

The speed of spending money cannot keep up with the speed of saving money. Taking money as reward does not mean the other party is doing charity!

When there is too much money, it becomes just a pile of waste paper!
As far as he knew, a woman on the other side was managing the money, constantly buying the resources that mages needed on the international market. Wasn't this just consuming paper money in exchange for more valuable materials and resources? Very smart!
The Dimension Core is also a very important strategic resource for the country, and is much more important than the Earth Core of the same level.

But if he used this treasure to exchange for Wang Teng’s combat support, he felt it was worthwhile!

Shao Zheng and the Hua army chief all frowned, and their first thought was that these guys were considering their own interests again.

Abandoning the coast can ensure the existing magical power in the country to the greatest extent, and there will be no problem in dealing with the monsters in the interior.

It's nothing more than a little tighter financially, but even if it's tight, it's not as tight as this group of people.

Giving away the Core of Dimension is like selling the country's resources in exchange for ensuring their own interests.

And this might be a bottomless pit. Who knows how long the Siren's invasion will last? Is a Dimensional Core supposed to be effective forever?
It's true that the son sells his father's land without any pain!

Min Wu even lowered his head slightly and dared not speak. Everything was caused by him in the first place, and now the consequences were slowly beginning to emerge.

If he had not asked that question at the beginning, everything would have remained silent, and now there might be such a person in charge of the Forbidden City court in the country.

Then the crisis along the coast would naturally not be so serious. His confidence in defending the Magic City did not mean that he dared to chase out and fight the emperor on the sea.

At this moment, it seems that having only a shield but no spear is indeed a very embarrassing thing, and one can only passively take the beating.

But he had not anticipated that there would be a crisis of this magnitude along the coast, or that an emperor would launch a sneak attack.

Now Xingliu is back on his old path and has started selling off the country's strategic reserve resources for his own benefit.

He sold his wealth every time a sea monster attacked him. How many times could he sell it? But he was also a passive beneficiary, so he didn't say anything more.

Pang Lai rubbed his old face tiredly. After so many years, this group of people is still the same, and there is not much change after the replacement of people.

Maybe they themselves don’t understand what they are doing. How can anyone come up with such a thing?
Comparing strategic resources with ordinary interests? This is either stupid or downright evil!

"We can seek Wang Teng's help, but the strategic reserve resources cannot be touched!" Shao Zheng set the tone seriously.

He didn't think those strategic reserve resources would be attractive to the other party. The other party no longer lacked them, which meant that their importance was greatly reduced.

However, these strategic resources are extremely important to the country, as they are the cornerstone for ensuring top-level power!
"Alright~ I'll be in charge of contacting Wang Teng. You guys need to think about how to effectively prevent the invasion of sea monsters in the coming days."

"At the same time, we need to guide and relocate the excess people to inland cities as quickly as possible. This is a long-term task."

"We can't rely on others, at least not yet at this critical moment."

The Chinese military chief finally spoke and broke the fantasies of these people. If they were allowed to make the decision, they would not know when to sell out the country.

They only focus on things at hand and can only play tactical games at best, but not strategic games at all. Instead of letting them participate in planning, it is better to let them guard their territory.

A hint of disappointment flashed across President Liu's face. In his opinion, this group of people were too conservative and the resources were of zero value.

Its value can only be fully reflected when it is put to good use. The core of the earth can naturally maintain the birth of forbidden spell wizards.

Dimensional magic cannot be used without sufficient mental power support. Even if the dimensional core is used to break through the forbidden spell, its full power cannot be exerted.
