Chapter 350: Wizards' Impact on the World
It is relatively simple to implement in developed countries. After all, the wizard has not yet arrived, and it is just a precaution.
Those senior government officials, tempted by the money from pharmaceutical companies, all agreed.
Anyway, the benefits have been taken, we’ll talk about it when the wizard comes.
However, in developing countries, they have encountered Waterloo.
All the forces that have caused trouble for wizards have been destroyed. Who dares to show up now?
They even tried some dirty tricks, but to no avail.
All the gangs that had troubled the wizards were now wiped out.
No matter how much money they are given, they must live to enjoy it!
As for finding patients to throw dirty water on the wizard clinic?
Don’t even think about it!
Do you know about the Imperius Curse and Veritaserum?
Those patients who had received the money started to cry and make trouble in the wizard's clinic.
But once the Imperius Curse was cast, all the truth was revealed.
Although pharmaceutical giants want to use their ultimate weapon to cut off the supply of basic drugs.
They don't have the courage yet because the time has not come when both sides will suffer losses.
However, they had to watch helplessly as the wizards' magic potions spread around the world like wildfire.
To have the wealth that they should have been entitled to seized upon is worse than death.
Therefore, the pharmaceutical giants joined together to form a secret special task force.
The task of this group is to deeply analyze the spells and magical methods of wizards and the harm they will cause to all walks of life.
As night falls, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually subsides.
But a skyscraper in the heart of the city is brightly lit.
This is the headquarters of the world's largest pharmaceutical company.
In a conference room full of futuristic technology.
A group of top market analysts, economists and experts from various industries sat around a huge holographic projection table.
Detailed information about wizards and their magic scrolled across the screen.
Every piece of data and every picture is shocking.
"Repairing spell and reinforcement spell, these two seemingly harmless magics are actually enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in our market landscape."
Chief Economist Jack Harvison pushed up his glasses and spoke in a serious tone.
"A repairing spell can make any broken item look like new again, while a strengthening spell can make an item stronger and more durable.
This means that the demand for repair and replacement of all products, from mobile phones to cars, from home appliances to buildings, will be greatly reduced.
This is a disaster for manufacturing, maintenance and the entire supply chain.”
"What's even more terrifying is the Traceless Extension Spell."
Market analyst Alexander Stock took over the conversation.
He skillfully manipulated the holographic projection, showing a model of a room that had been enlarged by the Traceless Extension Charm.
“This magic can make a limited space become infinitely wide.
If everyone's house could be enlarged at will, who would need to buy a new house or add an extension?
As a result, the value of real estate such as houses and cars will be greatly reduced or even become worthless.”
The video suddenly froze on William Hart's suitcase, and all kinds of magical creatures walked out of it one after another.
He continued, “Even the entire transportation industry will collapse as a result.”
The atmosphere in the conference room became more solemn, as if everyone could feel the shock wave from the wizard.
"Don't forget, wizards also have the ability to control objects."
Director of Marketing Jason Lee continued, with an undisguised hint of worry in his voice.
“This would render heavy machinery and large equipment useless.
It means the collapse of the industry that makes cranes, excavators, etc.”
A sociologist nearby added, "Not only that, a large number of workers will be unemployed, which may also lead to the turmoil of the entire social structure."
“And worse,” another economist chimed in. “The Portkey.”
The video freezes on a wizard holding a worn leather boot.
“It allows people to instantly reach another designated space.
Such capabilities make traditional transportation meaningless.
Neither airplanes, trains nor ships can compare to this ability to move instantly.
Industries such as civil aviation will face bankruptcy, and the manufacturing industries behind them will also collapse.”
As the discussion deepened, the atmosphere in the meeting room became increasingly tense.
Every new discovery made those present feel terrified.
A few days later, the task force submitted a detailed report to the pharmaceutical giants.
After reading the report, the giants all felt their scalps tingling.
They didn't expect that the wizard's ability could pose such a huge threat to all industries in the world.
The report also points out that wizards have more spells than just the ones they know.
Also included are more magical abilities, such as healing spells, transfiguration spells, and divination.
If wizards' spells are widely used, then medical care, construction, transportation, entertainment, etc.
All industries will face the risk of collapse.
But after the pharmaceutical giants read the report carefully.
Instead, each of them showed a smile of relief on their face.
This report was like a raging fire that instantly ignited their desire for revenge.
They are not afraid that wizards can threaten other industries, but they are afraid that wizards cannot do it.
it's good now.
Except for agriculture and animal husbandry, the industry can remain relatively stable during this storm.
All other industries were affected.
This is a good thing for them.
The wizards have only demonstrated the magic potion so far, which has only made pharmaceutical companies like them see the crisis.
But once this report comes to light, it means that they will no longer be the only ones who want wizards to disappear.
And their pharmaceutical companies are a lesson for us.
Now that everyone has a common enemy and everyone is working together, how can the wizard survive?
They used their vast network of connections to quickly spread the report in upper-class circles.
Not only that, they also spent a huge amount of money to push this report to the front pages of countries around the world.
The whole world fell into unprecedented panic.
The Times: "Wizards rise, industries collapse! Healthcare, construction, transportation, entertainment are all affected!"
"Voice of the People": "A wave of unemployment has hit, people's lives are in trouble, and the wizard threat theory has caused social unrest!"
The Internet is flooded with comments about the threat of wizards, and the words reveal deep despair and fear.
"The wizarding age, the end of mankind?"
An article with an eye-catching title was played on the homepages of major news websites, quickly sparking heated discussions among netizens.
The author depicts a future world ruled by wizards in an extremely pessimistic tone.
Humans became slaves to magic, and technological civilization became a distant memory.
For a time, there was a sense of panic and the mood of trepidation spread rapidly like a plague.
