Li Hao is a streame...
Chapter 33
The third spell model. Once Li Hao completes this, she'll be a full-fledged mage. Her previous spell was Healing, which has roughly the same effect as a basic healing potion.
Now she was going to learn the offensive spell - Fireball. Fireball was arguably the most powerful spell among the first-level spells.
Li Hao was in the meditation room, concentrating on drawing the spell model. Her mental power had now reached 215, so the fireball spell flowed very smoothly. Normally, with her above-average aptitude, she would have become a full-fledged mage in about three years. However, now it took less than four months, five months after she began meditating. Even after returning to modern society, she hadn't forgotten to meditate.
When she opened her eyes again, another spell mark had appeared in her mind. She breathed a sigh of relief. Now it was time to get Nightlight back on track.
Li Hao and Victoria, with the help of Michelle, successfully got the opportunity to meet the two third-level mages in the Mage Tower.
Li Hao had seen one of the third-level mages before. When □□ opened, the other party accepted the membership sent by Shalia to attend the opening ceremony.
However, there were many people at the time, including various important figures, and Li Hao seemed very inconspicuous. And now Li Hao also hid behind Victoria, letting Victoria take the lead.
But what the senior said was all taught by Li Hao.
As expected, Victoria's background was quite unusual. The two men were clearly very familiar with her.
As soon as they entered, they asked Victoria to sit down and asked her what she wanted to do. One of them also said.
"Give my regards to your mother."
It seems that Victoria's mother is at least on the same level as this third-level wizard.
The psychologists at the base were already on high alert. Unfortunately, the two mages' faces were obscured. One wore a metallic mask, resembling Iron Man, while the other wore a loose mage robe with a hood covering the upper half of his face.
Fortunately, we can still judge by body language.
Following Li Hao's instructions, Victoria asked the two mages for help.
"...We at Yeguang are willing to implement a dividend distribution system, where we will give one portion of our profits to the two mages every year." Victoria said.
"They haven't been moved yet." The base looked at the two mages, who were still leaning on their chairs, and the other one was stroking the ornament on his right hand.
They naturally had no idea about the verbal 10%. Victoria followed Li Hao's
As instructed, he told everyone the main plan, the possible profits, and the commission points.
"...The profit in the first year will be a total of 900,000 gold coins. We will then invest 700,000 of the profit into expansion. And according to our calculations, this profit will increase year by year." The data revealed by Victoria obviously attracted the two mages.
This estimate was also calculated by the people at the base. The business model of the other world is still stuck in the model they had two hundred years ago. However, the business and financial situation of Charleston as a whole has long been understood.
So this budget is still relatively conservative.
The masked mage was Mage Kouma. He was the youngest of the three third-level mages, so he had the least experience. The two of them shared 90,000, which was a little over 40,000 gold coins, a considerable sum for them.
You have to know that gold coins are indispensable to becoming a good mage, especially for third-level mages like them.
"Oh, if it can be done like this, why don't we do it ourselves?" One of the mages said it in a tactful way, but the point was, if there is such a benefit, why don't they do it themselves.
"The operation of this business requires more than just the plans I just mentioned. There are many other aspects that need to be handled according to the actual situation. I believe that for the two distinguished adults, focusing on the magical world is the most important thing for you." Victoria mentioned a very important point.
In reality, the two mages had no real desire for the money. For them, it was just the right amount, neither too much nor too little. A qualified mage needed to focus their entire attention on magic to achieve success.
Only a wizard who has no future would think of spending his time on other people.
The conditions provided by the other party were that they needed to make a few moves. They were not facing any powerful opponents, just those people in Charleston.
Then, Li Hao and Victoria could no longer hear the conversation between the two mages. Their mouths did not move, but their body language indicated that the two mages were communicating.
However, even if there was no sound, the masters in the base could still see some clues from the other party's expression.
"It's stable." Hearing this voice, Li Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, after a while, another wizard, Fabro, said.
"We can agree to your request. You can tell others that you're under our protection. But we can't pay you that much. A maximum of eight missions per year. More than that, and it's not part of the plan."
They asked for a certain number of times in order to prevent Li Hao and the others from disturbing them too many times.
Li Hao was not surprised to hear this request, as the base had anticipated it from the beginning.
Finally, they offered 12% profit, but only ten opportunities per year, and they could come to the platform to show their faces.
After finishing the matter with the mage, it was time to deal with the merchants. Li Hao now had a list in his hand, which was given by the base.
These people all have special files at the base that summarize their information and situations. All Li Hao has to do is follow the instructions of the live broadcast.
She had now truly become friends with Victoria. Originally, Li Hao hadn't intended to make friends here. But as her inner struggles unraveled, she began to accept the world and adjust to her own nervous state.
"Victoria, after these are done, I should leave again, and this time it may take a longer time. I may have to trouble you then." Li Hao said to Victoria.
"The Moon Festival is coming soon, are you leaving?" Victoria has been having a lot of fun with Li Hao recently.
Li Hao was a lively person. After completing his assigned duties, he would take Victoria on trips. For example, he would try making hot pot and barbecue with ingredients from another world and invite her to eat together. He would also train the staff to organize various entertainment activities and try to combine magic and technology.
All of this opened Victoria's eyes. She had never known that a person could have so many wonderful ideas. Every day with her, there were new things to see, and even many things that Victoria had become accustomed to could bring her a lot of fun.
"I'll go to the Moon Goddess Festival before leaving." Li Hao nodded. She wanted to go back, not only because she had completed the task, but also because the New Year was approaching and she had to go home.
The Moon God Realm is an important autumn festival. A year in this world is a full 530 days.
It was mid-summer when Li Hao arrived. The Moon Goddess Festival, as the continent's harvest festival, was the most lively, with humans, orcs, and elves all celebrating.
There were many celebrations on that day, and the Moon Festival was just 7 days later.
From now on, the whole of Charleston began to bustle with activity. Many shops began to hang yellow cloth as decorations, or hung yellow grains to symbolize a good harvest.
Li Hao's shop is no exception. Li Hao has a booklet about promotional activities, which records various activities and possible things that may happen.
Privately called by Glenn - the Little Encyclopedia.
This was the first time she saw Shalia since Li Hao told her about that incident. The other party looked at her with scrutiny, vigilance, and even fear.
Shariya, a businesswoman who always thought she was smart and wise, could not accept that her long-held cognition had been shattered.
In Li Hao's world, they have long been exploring the origins of mankind, theories about extraterrestrial life, and various sages who seek truth and pursue the truth. Therefore, many scientists have already put forward this view on the idea of another world.
But this matter is different. From the knowledge that Shariya received and from the orcish environment in which she grew up, they are all lives created by gods, and magic accompanies their existence.
How could there be another world? Aren't they the only ones? Shalia's cognition was still too limited to accept it. Or perhaps if she were a little more foolish, Li Hao's affairs wouldn't bother her.
However, Li Hao didn't know this. Sharia's disappearance had caused them some trouble. Sharia had previously handled communications with Charleston merchants, while Maggie handled the nobles. Glenn handled logistics.
"Today we will discuss the final details." Li Hao said to Shalia.
But Shalia directly pulled Li Hao over and found an empty box.
"You, I don't believe what you said. What's going on in the other world?" Shalia's eyes were bloodshot. She stared at Li Hao, and saw that some of the scales that had been well-maintained in the past were now falling off.
"..." Li Hao looked at Shaliya like this and felt a little worried about her. Shaliya was his benefactor no matter what.
She was silent for a moment before saying, "You should know about space technology. If we consider this space as a very large space, then there must be other spaces. In fact, I have read many magic books and can see some things about other worlds."
What she said was half true and half false, and the situation she described sounded like a fairy tale.
"As for me, I simply possess special abilities. You can call me a traveler," Li Hao explained in a way that Shalia could understand. "The world might be a large spatial ring created by another god."
Li Hao and the people at the base couldn't understand the idea of time travel. They suggested that it might simply be a matter of traveling across planets. But if that were the case, why would aliens be like humans? These were matters related to the origins of humanity, and Li Hao couldn't fathom them.
After listening to Li Hao's explanation, Shalia let go of her hand.
"Look, we look the same. You can just treat me as a stranger. Someone from another island that you haven't found yet." Li Hao continued to add.
With Li Hao's persuasion, Shalia finally came out of her dilemma. She calmed down for a while and quickly recovered, worthy of being a cold-blooded businessman. After thinking it through.
He stood up and looked at Li Hao and said, "You are a foreigner. If you want to gain a foothold here, you'd better not do anything tricky."
