Chapter 27

In a secret room, a person in a cloak walked in. When she lowered her hood, her long red hair was revealed.

"Wow, there are so many." Victoria looked at the gold coins on the table. The table was so full that it couldn't even hold any more.

"That's why Li stopped. Otherwise, this plan could have made even more money." Shariya was a businesswoman. From the moment she heard the plan, she saw it as flawless. If she hadn't been the executor, she would have been fooled too.

"Li, you are so smart." Maggie stuck to Li Thao and held her hand.

Sitting next to him was Glenn, his face flushed red at the moment. The entire room was covered with gold coins on the table and the floor, and he couldn't take his eyes off them.

There were five people in the room. Li Hao sat in the middle. These people were all his acquaintances. He had carefully selected the members of this team.

Li Hao first invited Victoria, then Sharia, Maggie, and finally Glenn.

First of all, these people have some connection with Li Hao. Secondly, the identities of these four people were specially selected by Li Hao.

Among them was Sharia, a well-known black market trader in Charleston. She prioritized profit above all else, and Li Hao's plan easily lured Sharia into the game. As long as Sharia could continue to profit, she would be the best partner.

Maggie, a very high-ranking noble, was a ticking time bomb. Instead of waiting for Maggie to investigate her endlessly, it would be better to reveal something and keep this guy hanging. Maggie's noble status could also suppress some of the information on the surface.

Working with these two people is like walking on a cliff, so she needs the other two to be a check and balance on the team.

Victoria was her senior sister and treated her very well. If she was brought into the team, she would naturally stand by Li Hao's side.

Another important point is that Victoria's identity is not simple. The people at the base had long ago analyzed her behavior and found that Victoria's etiquette was very good. She also specifically inquired about Victoria's situation and discovered that her background was very strong, perhaps even higher than Maggie's.

With Victoria around, her status can suppress the other two.

Glenn is also a very important part. The other three are too high-ranking. Li Hao is in a weak position among them, so she needs someone with a lower status than him to balance her position in the team.

Glenn would obediently stand beside Li Hao, so that the three of them could naturally occupy the majority position.

During the discussion that day, Li Hao said to the people at the base, "With so many elite people with high IQ and EQ, it would be easy to deal with these four people."

Wisdom is also a weapon, and Li Hao even has an entire wisdom team, the most powerful research team. Soon this knife took effect.

The foreign merchant incident in Charleston was naturally Li Hao's plan. He had two main goals. One was to make money. This time, he made nearly 20,000 gold coins. This amount of money was enough to start a large family. The other was to make David, the Bruno family, pay the price.

This was just a trial run, and the entire plan was implemented perfectly. Even though there were some hiccups, Li Hao was able to come up with a solution quickly.

At the beginning, Shalia and Maggie were not so obedient. It was after several crises that Li Hao offered advice and successfully resolved the crises. Only then did Li Hao successfully take control of the team's main power.

Li Hao pointed at the gold coins on the table and said, "This is everyone's dividend."

Each person received a total of 5,000 gold coins. Under the guidance of the live broadcast room, Li Hao played the check and balance technique very well, and she now has the final say in the team.

Shalia waved her hand, and a large bag of coins vanished. Li Hao knew it was the other party's space magic tool. Li Hao thought about privately asking the other party to buy one and see if it could be used to carry things, thus avoiding the weight requirement during the time travel.

But this time it's not just about dividing the money. This time she wants to completely pull the people in front of her into her own power.

"I have another business here. Do you want to do it?" Li Hao said to everyone.

"I'll do whatever you say. I feel like I didn't do anything, yet I've earned so much money. I'm kind of embarrassed." Victoria felt like she'd only made one potion, disguised the ingredients, and used a few different identities. She hadn't expected to earn so much.

"As for you, if you still want to join, you can stay and listen." Li Hao said to the others.

"Li, you, I'll listen to you." Glenn has been worried for a while, fearing that the matter would be exposed. You know, many families were affected this time, but fortunately everything ended perfectly.

He admired this young woman to the extreme. It was incredible that someone could be so capable. Thinking of his previous attitude towards Li, he was fortunate that he had been respectful after all.

"Go ahead." Shalia was the one who was most surprised by Li Hao's actions, because she knew him best. Shalia had seen Li Hao's fragility and how he looked when he first came into this world.

At that time, Shalia's evaluation of Li Hao was that she was a little princess in a greenhouse who was ignorant of the world. But now it seems that Li Hao's methods are more understanding of human weaknesses than she, a cold-blooded businessman.

Five thousand gold coins was a lot, even for Shalia, it was a huge sum of money, but compared to Li Hao, it was still a little less valuable. Shalia wanted to continue to see what kind of changes her sage would bring to her.

As for Maggie, she didn't care about money and had no feelings for the gold coins. She was just curious about Li Hao. This person was really too mysterious, like a mystery. Maggie was itching to explore Li Hao's secrets.

The last few people stayed as Li Hao expected.

Li Hao presented a business plan: she wanted to open a casino here. Actually, the other world already had complete dining, entertainment, and accommodation facilities. However, there was no casino. This was actually quite easy to implement: dice, playing cards, and even Russian roulette could all be made.

Even slot machines could be customized by the magician. The base had already given her the rules for several of the most common slot machines.

Li Hao has already found the teacher who taught her in the Mage Tower and spent two hundred gold coins to customize one.

For the four of them, a business plan was a dimensionality-reducing blow. By the time they finished reading the plan—mostly after Shalia finished reading it—Victoria was dizzy. Maggie's attention was focused on Li Hao. Glenn, on the other hand, was remarkably quiet.

"Have you finished reading this? We need to invest all the profits from this time as costs." Li Hao said to everyone.

This amount of money was only enough to support a mage, but it wasn't enough for what Li Haolai was going to do. Casinos, with their potential for both black and white dealings, offered a much wider range of possibilities.

She had been here for two months and had a very detailed understanding of Charleston. It was a rather chaotic place, a key transit point in the Monster Forest. Therefore, there were many inns throughout the town, providing resting places for mercenaries and adventurers.

Li Hao wasn't planning to build a simple casino, but rather a place for entertainment and relaxation. She planned to directly purchase a large venue, which would be quite expensive.

After everyone agreed, they took out the money again.

..

Li Hao's mental strength had already reached 107 points, and he could have tried to construct a spell model a long time ago. However, due to his busy schedule, he put it on hold.

She sat in the meditation room her teacher had set aside for her, constructing a spell model according to her memory. Everything went smoothly, without any obstacles. When she opened her eyes, a white mark had been engraved in her mind. This was her first spell model.

Spells naturally couldn't be practiced in the meditation room, so Li Hao went out and found a room specifically for practicing spells. As she activated the model marker, a loud noise echoed in front of her.

The stone used for the test had already cracked. This force shocked Li Hao and the people in the live studio.

The stone was as tall as Li Hao and a meter wide. Such a large stone was shattered just like that. This spell gave Li Hao a feeling of being shattered.

Li Hao felt her own mental strength. With such power, she could still use several magic hands.

Seeing this power, Li Hao immediately understood why the status of the mage was so high.

This is only a first-level spell. I wonder how powerful the attack spell of a third-level wizard is.

After completing her first spell, Li Hao prepared to return. She had purchased a space bracelet for nearly two hundred gold coins, which contained only about two cubic meters of space. It was filled with various herbs and magic stones. The base and Li Hao had yet to find a way to return without using magic stones.

After taking a two-week vacation from Teacher Michelle and checking out the progress of Charleston's construction, Li Hao said hello to everyone and headed back to the Mage Tower. He got off the bus halfway and walked two kilometers into the forest, making sure there was no one around.

Under the attention of everyone in the live broadcast room, she pressed the return button. After a wave of fluctuations, Li Hao opened her eyes and looked at the glass in front of her. On the other side of the glass, several familiar faces were applauding.

"Welcome back, hero Li! Welcome home!" A voice also came from the radio.

Li Hao couldn't help but smile. But she still had one thing to confirm. She looked at the bracelet and closed her eyes. Soon, a pile of herbal seedlings appeared on the ground. Li Hao unpacked her belongings one by one and took off her backpack.

"Bring it here! Wow!" Many scientists on the other side of the glass were already lying on the glass.

Someone wearing protective clothing came in, sealed the things and took them away. Li Hao was also taken away to be disinfected and changed clothes amid applause.

"By the way, there are some medicines stuffed in those herbs, please pay attention." Li Hao reminded the staff.

One of the female staff members nodded and said gently, "After you're done washing up, the base has prepared a party for you. It's all delicious food. Hot pot, barbecue, and more. Enjoy it. Thank you for your hard work."
