The abrupt promotion significantly extended the slumber period of the Netherfire Dragon.
Li Mochen felt around on it for a while, then contentedly lifted it with one hand and walked out of the training room.
If anyone else had been present, they would have noticed that he was now completely floating, his feet at least a foot off the ground.
This was the effect of magnetic force—though Li Mochen still hadn't mastered the power of life and death, he could now slightly manipulate the magnetic forces of the North and South Poles.
This magnetic force had many uses, including various related magic and immortal arts; it could also make him faster and produce more bizarre changes. He could use magnetic force to accelerate bullets, increasing the power of his firearms. In comparison, short-distance low-altitude floating was the most ordinary application.
Moreover, the advancement to Level 5 brought him many other benefits. As for true essence, mana, magical power, and physique, due to his deep foundation, his improvements in these areas far exceeded those of ordinary people. However, the greatest gains were in his newly mastered ice and fire techniques and his greatly enhanced thunder and lightning power.
After this, all ice and fire magic and immortal arts Li Mochen performed would have greatly increased power.
Finally, there was the power to command ghosts and gods—whether Gouchen or the North and South Poles, he could control all 'ghosts' and 'gods' under heaven.
Li Mochen's current power naturally couldn't control those 'gods,' but he could manage 'ghosts.' When he was 'Wenjian Taoran,' he had also learned some techniques for commanding ghosts and gods.
However, in Alexandria, Li Mochen had yet to sense any yin spirits, nor were there any near Ghost City.
This was mostly due to the Church of Light; the abilities of its magic priests and magic knights were especially effective against yin spirits and evil entities.
Finally, there was the metal aspect. The legendary Gouchen Star Lord, 'Western Tai Chi Heavenly Emperor,' was also a war god, presiding over all military conflicts and killings in the mortal world.
Thus, Li Mochen could now use his mana to strengthen his weapons and armor. He also mastered a innate spell called 'Gouchen Possession,' which could temporarily enhance his abilities in various aspects to a small degree.
"Qi Tai, help me inform the Nathan Sports Group that I am now Level 5."
Since it was already late, Li Mochen, after washing up, hurriedly opened the door with a piece of toast in his mouth.
Qi Tai, hearing this, showed no surprise.
He had previously judged that Li Mochen was close to advancing, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly—becoming a Level 5 magic professional the day after returning from the Dark World.
"That's good news, boss. The company will be thrilled. But can you wait a moment? I have something for you."
Qi Tai said as he took out an exquisite gift box: "Calvin 3800, the latest mobile phone. The company assigned it to you; they handled all the procedures on Friday, but we weren't here then. Hmm, according to my superior, please make sure to carry this with you. It can also be used near cities in the Dark World. That way, they can contact you anytime."
Li Mochen's eyes showed curiosity. He walked over, opened the box, and took out a magic-mechanical device shaped like a brick, examining it closely.
In the Primordial Sky Realm, there were also long-distance communication magical tools and talismans, but none as convenient as this mobile phone. Its only drawback was its weight—about two to three pounds—but for magic professionals like them, that was hardly a burden.
"It can be charged, but a full charge only allows two hours of talk time. I suggest you directly replace the magic stone; it's more convenient, with a standby time of twenty hours and stronger signal. Anyway, the company will reimburse you, so no need to skimp."
Qi Tai looked at the device with envy: "According to the CEO of Calvin Communications, this mobile phone can be further miniaturized in the future, possibly down to the size of a finger. But for now, it's still a brick."
Li Mochen asked curiously: "Wasn't I supposed to be equipped with a pager? Why did it change to a mobile phone?"
"I don't know."
Qi Tai stroked his chin: "Maybe it's related to the Summer Team Competition? A week ago, Western Iowa University made it to the top sixteen in the high school team competition. Hmm, it's complicated to explain, but it's likely that our boss got stimulated again."
Li Mochen understood and continued his research. Finding it useful, he read the manual and then called the law firm of Pearson, Darby & Spector.
The office wasn't open, but the operator called Mike Ross: "God! You have a mobile phone now? Call this number on weekends, right? Got it. What's the number? Let me write it down."
Then he updated him on the lawsuit: "I estimate that Cagellen Law Firm will give in within a couple of days. You're famous now, Amo. Local newspapers and media in Atlanta are all talking about you. 'Lucky Andre'—many people know that name. Cagellen Law Firm and Allen Appraisal Company are worried about further fallout; they can barely suppress the media anymore."
"So the settlement amount will exceed our expectations, probably by about 500,000 gold shields—a wise move; dragging it out won't benefit them. We're insisting that Allen Appraisal Company revise their appraisal within a day after reaching a settlement. Anyway, I'll notify you as soon as things are settled."
Afterward, Li Mochen dialed another number belonging to the Rising Sun Company. The voice of Cadiren Jebson came through; the company's vice general manager had indeed arrived early as expected.
"Amo, I was just looking for you. Wow, you have a mobile phone? What's the number? Let me write it down—"
Cadiren Jebson's tone carried obvious surprise, but he then got down to business: "Our negotiations with the Schloth Group concluded on Friday afternoon. May secured better terms for us. Yes! Selling the Archibald Apartment project for 8.6 million gold shields in total. The Schloth Group guarantees that the Blood Hand Gang won't harm anyone in our company. In fact, they've already warned Antonio not to use any illegal means against us during the negotiations. Also, the pirates will release the hostages on the day the contract is signed."
"So, boss, you can truly inherit the company this week? That's great! Once the court processes are complete, please come to the company as soon as possible, okay? The Schloth Group is determined to acquire this property and wants to sign the contract as early as possible. I also want to get this money soon; I can't wait for your comprehensive store plan. I have a feeling this will be the beginning of the Rising Sun Group's rise."
