2.19 The Mob Character Is A False Magician

Twelve years later...

On a hot summer afternoon, a person with distinct eyes lounges on a deck chair beneath the shade of a tree. A cat rests on his lap, its tail gently swaying, indicating it's not fully asleep. The two beings peacefully doze off, allowing the natural breeze to cool them as leaves intermittently fall. The day passes slowly, evoking a sense of comfort and ease.

The person's chest moves up and down in a slow rhythm as he snores lightly, his head adorned with thick, wavy black hair that is longer than what is typically seen on men, yet has an effortless quality to it, appearing slightly unkempt but still well-maintained, adding to his relaxed and laid-back vibe.

At first glance, he may seem unremarkable, blending into the crowd with his unassuming features. But when his eyes open, they draw you in with their captivating power and reveal the depth of his soul. The moles beside his left eye and lip only add to his unique beauty, making him unforgettable. Yet, when his eyes are closed and his features concealed, he exudes a sense of calm normalcy that belies the intensity within.

It is akin to the universe, where its beauty is hidden beyond the truth of its entirety.

The man's appearance invites the attention of young maidens, who can't resist the urge to playfully adorn him with flowers as he sleeps. Despite their attempts to stifle their giggles, the girls can't contain their glee, adding to the rarefied warmth surrounding the man. It's as if the simple act of beautifying him brings out the best in people and makes them instinctively drawn to him.

The person in question is none other than the background character, Jin Wei.

Once a mere extra in the background, this unassuming character has since ascended to dizzying heights, transforming from a penniless transmigrator to a wealthy one. Today, he boasts billions in assets spread across the world and has emerged as a key player in the world economy, leaving many to wonder at the sheer magnitude of his success.

This lazy young man had become a filthy rich bastard!

To those beyond the fourth wall, it may seem incongruous that a mere mob character could wield such immense power over the world's economy. They might wonder, "How could this be? Isn't he just a mere mob character? And yet, with a mere flick of his hand is enough to destroy the world. This is a contradiction to his character setting, right?"

While it may seem as though Jin Wei's staggering wealth and influence would make him a central figure in the world's affairs, it's important to remember that this is a land of fantasy and magic, not business and economics. As the plot revolves around the hero's journey to godhood, Jin Wei's power and wealth remain largely tangential to the center of the story.

If his character were ever to be mentioned, it would likely be in passing, relegated to the role of a nameless billionaire, briefly noted in a hundred-chapter book. Thus, despite his impressive status, Jin Wei's significance in this world is ultimately dwarfed by the grandeur of the tale being told.

Anyway, Jin Wei's story of success is enough to put everyone in envy.

His loyal subordinates and employees bore witness to the countless struggles and risks he endured to reach the pinnacle of success. He paid dearly for every inch of progress, and now, his immense wealth and power serve as a testament to the sacrifices he made along the way.

Of course, many still doubted his ability to lead at first.

After all, how could a mere ten-year-old, no matter how precocious and cunning, truly grasp the complexities of the world around him? To many, he was still a greenhorn, an inexperienced novice unprepared for the weighty responsibilities of saving lives. It is normal that things might not end well.

Some stayed, some left.

Despite the doubts and questions surrounding Jin Wei's youth and inexperience, there are those who have put their faith in him wholeheartedly. For many of these followers, Jin Wei is their last hope in a world that has turned against them, with no home or refuge to turn to. Exiled and lost, they have found a sense of purpose and belonging to the hero who has promised them a better life. To them, there is nothing to lose and everything to gain by throwing their lot in with Jin Wei.

And Jin Wei did not disappoint them.

Jin Wei held no qualms about the possibility of his slaves departing from him. As he made clear, it was their choice to make, and he bore no ill will towards those who decided to leave. Nevertheless, for those who placed their trust and admiration in him, he made a solemn promise to reciprocate their loyalty with tenfold gratitude.

Since it is a fantasy world, Jin Wei have to avoid doing something with magic. That's why, he went on making medicine. He knew that physical medicine was not seen as a necessity in this world, where healers could simply use their magic to cure any ailment. That's why when his brother was bitten by the bug, the first think he think of is a healer.

As a common set-up in fantasy worlds, healers are few and far between. While there may be many magicians with powerful abilities, only a select few possess the rare and coveted Aura of Purity. Those who are born with this constitution often face a difficult life, as their bodies are weak and delicate, and their lives are often cut short.

Tragically, many of these magicians with the Aura of Purity are unable to make it past their fifth year of life. Their fragile bodies simply cannot withstand the demands of the magical world, and they are forced to succumb to their fate far too soon. But for those who do manage to survive, their bodies are constantly at risk, where even the smallest injury can prove fatal.

It made healers a valuable commodity.

As soon as a child is discovered to possess the Aura of Purity, they are swiftly taken away from their parents and placed in a special facility where they can be nurtured and protected. For years, they are kept hidden from the rest of the world, their powers carefully honed and developed in secret.

But even with all the training and preparation in the world, healers still face daunting challenges. When it comes to small injuries like broken bones and cuts, they can heal with ease, using only a small amount of their energy reserves. But when it comes to life-threatening wounds, their powers are put to the ultimate test.

To heal such injuries, healers must expend all of their reserves, putting their own lives at risk. This means that they can only heal in intervals, taking time to rest and recover between each session. Some even needed two or more healers just to bypass the safe area. It shows how fragile their existence is.

And because their services are so rare and valuable, they come at a high price, accessible only to the wealthiest of clients.

For the rest of the population, the only option is to rely on traditional medicine and quack doctors. While effective for some ailments, these methods often fall short when it comes to terminal illnesses. This has left many people with little hope for a cure, living out their days in pain and suffering.

Jin Wei saw an opportunity in the void left by the scarcity of healers in the world. He knew that he could use his knowledge of medicinal herbs and efficient farming methods to create a powerful medicine that could heal even the most severe injuries.

After all, magic is a cheat of this world.

No matter what world one finds themselves in, one thing is certain: disease and illness will always be part of life. But where there is sickness, there is also the hope of a cure. While magic might offer an "instant" solution, it was not always the best solution.

Well, for those who could not afford it, it was not a good thing.

But he also knew that he had to tread carefully. If word got out that there was a way to heal without the need for a healer's magic or a quack doctor's unconventional treatments, it could cause a global upheaval that would shake the very foundations of the world's system.

So, the only way to solve this problem is to pretend.

With the money he had inherited, Jin Wei bought a few plots of land and began to plant medicinal herbs and wildflowers. He taught his people how to plant and care for these plants, sharing with them the knowledge he had gained from his past lives. He used his previous transmigrations to perfect the most efficient farming method, ensuring that the plants would grow quickly and thrive.

In this world, humans that are magicians are given preferential treatment. So, if Jin Wei will pretend as a magician, then people will not doubt his credibility. He thinks that there is nothing wrong with that so he started his life as a false magician.
