Chapter 194: The Sky‑Splitting Wealth

The King's Tear, being an extremely precious rare magic gemstone, naturally cannot be created from nothing by the Limited Wish Spell.

Naimi Xisi merely took a shortcut, using the Limited Wish Spell to turn the countless rubies into King's Tears of equal value.

In fact, the Wish Spell, as the most special spell, is developed on a principle very similar to the sacrificial theory that Mages employ when using Constant Spell techniques.

The Wish Spell ultimately fulfills the Spellcaster's desire through the Magic Net itself; to make the Magic Net comply, casting the Wish Spell usually requires a price.

After the Spellcaster completes the incantation, the wish generally consumes a large amount of precious items; for example, the King's Tears produced by Naimi Xisi were obtained by sacrificing many rubies.

If no items are sacrificed, the Spellcaster must pay something even more precious—knowledge.

Powerful Mages possess a vast, sea‑like repository of knowledge in their minds, be it Spell Models or memories of experimental spell research; this knowledge is the foundation for Mages to wield magic and advance in rank.

However, the Wish Spell is a highly perverse spell; if the Spellcaster attempts to fulfill a wish without any payment, the Magic Net will randomly seize a portion of the Spellcaster's knowledge.

The Spellcaster can relearn that knowledge, as if they had never studied the relevant material before.

In other words, overusing the Wish Spell without any cost will lead to one outcome—the loss of so much knowledge that the Spellcaster's professional rank drops!

In short, the Wish Spell's power is indeed immense; it grants Mages a universal conduit, allowing them to realize virtually any idea that would otherwise be confined below the Legendary level.

But its price is also something that makes Mages' hearts ache.

Yet for Naimi Xisi this point is essentially moot.

Because at that moment he was delighted to discover that although the Spiritual Resonance talent did not activate, the amplification granted by the Power Gem surprisingly benefited even the peculiar Limited Wish Spell!

In other words, the effect of the Limited Wish Spell was amplified tenfold!

Why could he notice this? Mainly because, after careful comparison, the King's Tears produced by the Limited Wish Spell were almost three times larger than he had estimated!

Based on market value, the three‑fold larger King's Tears are worth more than ten times the original rubies' price!

This could not be the Limited Wish Spell's effect; the only explanation is that the Power Gem's strange power can even affect the Magic Net, which accepted the Limited Wish Spell's sacrifice and amplified the magical energy input tenfold!

Thus, for Naimi Xisi the Limited Wish Spell became a spell of strategic significance!

Compared with other spells, the Limited Wish Spell's enhancement means Naimi Xisi can shear the Magic Net—a great entity with infinite power—by sacrificing common items to create rare items worth ten times their value, thereby arbitraging.

One could say that as long as his spell points keep up, he can produce a large number of rare items each day whose cost is only one‑tenth!

With this spell, Naimi Xisi can lounge in his lair, earning astronomical wealth from the Magic Net! The only thing that limits him is how many times his mana allows him to cast the Limited Wish Spell.

For other Mages, using the Limited Wish Spell—or even the Wish Spell—to make money is extremely difficult, because if one merely transmutates one material into another, the omnipotent Magic Net will intelligently adjust to the world's prices and produce new items with no price differential.

In other words, the idea of creating precious rare materials for profit is almost impossible, since you must already expend monetary resources of equal value.

Of course, if a Spellcaster insists on using the Wish Spell to earn money, it is not impossible.

The Nine‑Ring Wish Spell can conjure up to 25,000 gold coins out of nothing, or even gold coins themselves; with enough repetitions it can indeed accumulate sufficient gold. But remember, a Spellcaster who does not sacrifice wealth will have the Wish Spell's price randomly erase knowledge from their mind!

Even a Legendary Mage has only so much knowledge to squander just to earn that pitiful 25,000 gold coins.

Probably before earning five million, the Legendary Mage's rank will have dropped to a level unable to cast the Wish Spell.

And none of this is an issue for Naimi Xisi!

Because his profit reaches 1000%! The more Wish Spells he casts, the more money he makes!

"Very good, extremely good." Naimi Xisi's eyes flashed.

With the Limited Wish Spell, from now on all wealth Naimi Xisi gathers can be multiplied tenfold!

The magic ore vein beneath the Niksalan Basin, as long as he converts all extracted magic gemstones through the Limited Wish Spell, instantly increases their value tenfold, equivalent to possessing ten magic ore veins!

According to Wa Luo Sang's original estimate, this magic ore vein contains magic gemstones worth at least 18 million gold coins.

Multiplied by ten, that equals 180 million gold coins!

What does 180 million gold coins mean? For example, the Am Empire announced last year a total annual GDP of 150 million gold coins, meaning that with just one magic ore vein, Naimi Xisi's net worth even surpasses the total yearly earnings of the entire Am Empire!

"It's happening, it's really happening, I've made it, I'm a rich dragon, oh my god, is this real?!" Juan Ce Long was dizzy from this sky‑splitting wealth, unable to believe he had become overnight rich.

With 180 million, any precious Spell Model or Magic Item he wants, he can buy!

The market price of a Nine‑Ring Spell Model is 1 million gold coins each; no market? I'll pay 1.5 million! Let me buy a hundred of them!

Naimi Xisi drooled, fantasizing about a bright future, and the whole dragon glowed radiantly.

"Ahem, Wa Luo Sang! Roll in here!" Juan Ce Long, after a brief daze, immediately amplified his voice with a spell and summoned Wa Luo Sang throughout the valley.

Wa Luo Sang, who had just arrived at the Mage Tower entrance, heard the voice, his face darkened, thinking he had messed up again and was about to be punished, and hurriedly ran to the laboratory entrance.

!

"Anything you command, Master?" Wa Luo Sang asked Naimi Xisi cautiously.

Naimi Xisi, seeing his ink‑stained appearance, flared up and shouted, "What is it? Speed up the collection of the magic ore vein immediately, and take this."

He casually tossed out a ring emanating a necrotic aura; it was a hastily crafted Magic Item, constanted with the low‑level spell Command Undead, which the wearer can use at will.

"From now on, go down and supervise, urging those Undead to speed up the ore vein development; for any idle Undead that finish a task and don't know what to do, use this ring to assign them a new task, understand?"

"Yes, Master."

Wa Luo Sang grimaced as he took the ring, spending every day in the ore vein with those Undead; why is his fate so hard? The thought of being away from home for a long time and being harshly scolded by his wife gave Wa Luo Sang a headache.

Fortunately, you're down here keeping me company.

Wa Luo Sang patted the "Beginner Mage Advancement Guide" and "Ten Introductory Lessons for Mind‑Control Masters" at his waist, looking satisfied.
