115: Chapter 115 The Method of Shaping the Golden Body 115: Chapter 115 The Method of Shaping the Golden Body After leaving, Zhao Guang went straight to the place where he practiced his cultivation. Once his cultivation was complete, he sat down on the spot and began to study the trick known as Mage’s Hand. The trick consumed very little and could be practiced by Apprentice Mages, it was the only combat strength they had at the apprentice stage. At the apprentice stage, Mages were absolutely no match for warriors, yet they were not without the power to counterattack. And this power of counterattack, it all came from tricks. But as Zhao Guang looked and looked, in the end, he closed the book. Studying magic required the establishment of a Magic Model, and even tricks were no exception. One had to research and create such a model on their own, then adjust it according to their spiritual power, and finally establish it permanently in their mind. Only by doing so would the learning of a spell be considered successful. But that wasn’t the end, the model could be continuously adjusted to become more perfect. However, after sculpting the model, making adjustments wasn’t so easy, often requiring a great deal of effort. Therefore, when creating the model from the beginning, it needed to be as perfect as possible, to reduce the workload later. Yet, if the adjustments were well made, the power that the model could unleash would increase by an untold amount. A spell, in the hands of different people, could exhibit varying degrees of power. The fundamental reason lay in the varying degrees of perfection of the models they created. Zhao Guang halted not because he was incapable of creating it, but because he found these things to be eerily familiar. Weren’t these the models from many mathematical theories? Moreover, some of them seemed extremely complex. “It seems I need to go back to studying mathematics,” Zhao Guang felt a headache coming on. That’s right, studying mathematics could be more headache-inducing than studying magic, even with increased intelligence, Zhao Guang felt the same. Upon returning home, Zhao Guang immediately called his older sister: “Hey sis, haven’t gone to sleep yet? There’s something I want to talk about.” “Oh, the big boss is waiting, who dares to sleep at this late hour. Go ahead, what’s the task this time?” His sister’s sarcastic tone was something Zhao Guang could already imagine. “Well, it’s nothing too serious, just wanted to ask you to buy some books for me.” “What? Those things still aren’t enough for you, you need even more!” Zhao Yan seemed to see her little brother walking further and further down the path of abnormality. “You better watch it, I don’t care how rich you are, if you continue like this, just wait for mom and dad to deal with you.” “How could that be, these things are for others, books on art, I need a lot of them, just normal art will do. Oh, and those without text, just pictures will suffice.” “Normal ones, or those related to people?” “Why do you always think that way? Just ordinary art, like paintings and cultural relics and such.” Zhao Yan finally relaxed: “Okay, no problem, I’ll get someone to prepare them for you. Really, you’re always working on this stuff, our trading company is about to turn into a department store.” Zhao Guang didn’t reply and continued, “Also, I need some books on mathematics, the more comprehensive the better. Ideally from elementary to advanced, I want them all.” “Mathematics? Little brother, you’re planning to hit the books for real, I support you in that,” she said. Fortunately, mathematics books, unlike other kinds of materials, were easily available at the highest level. If it were specialized technical material, that would not be so easy to obtain. “Anything else?” Zhao Yan continued to inquire. “That’s all, gonna hang up now.” “So unwilling to talk to your sister, how am I supposed to deal with the heartache?” “If you’re heartbroken, go to brother-in-law, let him touch his conscience for you.” “Tsk, daring to tease your sister like that, I see your courage is growing,” she chided. Zhao Guang quickly said, “Alright, I’ve got some things to do here, hanging up now.” Without waiting for his sister to continue, Zhao Guang pressed his lips to the hang-up button. Now, he had an even more important matter to attend to. Turning on the computer, Zhao Guang contacted the old bookworm. The Armor was really affecting his typing, slowing him down significantly. “Hey bro, are you there? It’s your newcomer traversing muggle. I’ve got a question to ask.” The reply came soon enough on the other end, not making him wait too long. “Go ahead,” the reply was brief and to the point. “It’s like this. If the protagonist is very wealthy, but lacks influence, what should he do to protect himself? Can he rely on making donations to create a benevolent persona?” “Just relying on donations, if one has very little money, that’ll work. Just do like some celebrities and build some schools, that’ll generally keep you out of trouble. Normally, that should be enough, but if you rise to a certain height, it won’t work.” “What if one has certain assets, like an abundance of Gold, that might attract attention from above?” “Then you need to make your Golden Body bigger, make yourself someone they wouldn’t dare mess with.” Zhao Guang nodded, he had thought the same, but lacked a concrete method. “How exactly should one go about doing that?” Zhao Guang continued to inquire. “It’s simple, a country always values its workers most. If you can control the labor force, then nobody dares to touch you lightly. Because if they do, the consequences would be significant,” was the advice. Zhao Guang’s eyes flashed with an idea. “Could you be more specific? How does one control them?” “Isn’t that easy? Of course, it’s by building more factories. If you have many workers below you, who would dare to make a move? Haven’t you seen those companies with millions of employees? They’ve got more people than some small countries, imagine the turmoil it would cause if they were targeted.” Millions of employees, the thought was indeed terrifying. While Zhao Guang was not familiar with the specifics, he knew that so many people, even striking for one day, could cause social panic. If they took to the streets in protest, the local government would definitely need to step in. “Never mind others, if you’re in a foreign country and control that many people, it means controlling countless votes. You don’t even need to do anything, those in power will seek your favor. There’s nothing more reliable than having a large number of employees,” they concluded. The point was valid, after all, the focus of any country is its people. Therefore, the more people one controls, the safer they are. One doesn’t have to do anything, but one must have the power to prevent others from harming them. Zhao Guang now had some ideas in mind. A factory didn’t seem quite right; Zhao Guang had a better target in mind. His own country was predominantly agrarian, so Zhao Guang decided to start there.
