Chapter 64

Li Hao first exchanged pleasantries with the three Level 3 mages. Basically, they welcomed Li Hao to the Mage Tower and said they could prepare for the construction of the fourth Mage Tower.

She can share the profits of the Mage Tower, and she also needs to bear the responsibilities, etc. She also talks about some secrets of the Mage Tower that only third-level mages can know.

However, Li Hao also raised a question. "Why are there so few mages in the Mage Tower?"

"...After the last beast tide ended, another one has recently begun. Official mages have now permanently stationed in the Monster Forest."

Li Hao nodded. She was just curious and didn't know what was happening to the people she knew.

Li Hao returned to her own room. At least she would live here until her exclusive tower was ready.

A familiar room makes Li Hao feel safe.

Because the second-level mages and the official mages were all in the Warcraft Forest, there were very few people in the Mage Tower. However, these mages were also coming back. After all, nothing was more important than having a third-level mage in the Mage Tower.

The Mage Tower has already sent out invitations, and a ceremony will be held in two days to welcome the newly promoted Level 3 Mage. Important figures from all over Charleston will be there, and even the kingdom will send envoys.

For third-level mages, the king would even grant them a fiefdom as a reward. For example, the area around the Mage's Tower was essentially the territory of the three mages.

If possible, they could directly build a city and become noble lords. However, the three of them were obsessed with pursuing the truth of magic, so naturally they had no intention of building and managing a territory.

Generally, they were rented out to local nobles for a small fee. Li Hao could choose to build his own mage tower and recruit disciples, but since he only had this one chance to travel through time, he naturally didn't have the time to spend too much time here.

Especially after the emergence of the interstellar world, they had already acquired most of the useful things in the magical world. They had already digested the potions and spells.

Before the celebration started, Li Hao went straight to Charleston to see the night lights that he hadn't seen for a long time.

I don’t know what happened to this place where she used to make money in the beginning.

It's daytime now, but the luminous sign is still on. It's very conspicuous in the whole town, and it has even been expanded.

The entire town has also undergone a lot of changes. The plan that Li Hao gave to Shalia when he left was to expand the regional economy and become a complete trading platform.

Merchants from several towns near Charleston were attracted here. This was mainly a bulk trading market, with everything from daily necessities to luxury goods, as well as various magic props and potions.

The fame has spread throughout the country.

His investment and stock market systems, in particular, have revitalized many industries. Li Hao's special arrangement allowed Shalia to open a green channel for projects that could improve their viability. For example, if magic could be applied to agriculture, even if such a project failed to attract other investors, the exchange would still provide funding.

Although the results are only beginning to show, it will definitely bring great benefits to this place in the future.

Walking into this night light □□ - no, it should be called, the Glory Exchange.

The name "Ye Guang" was originally chosen simply to attract the local wealthy and aristocrats. Li Hao had mentioned in his previous plan that the exchange was on the right track and that the entertainment and other attractive items could be gradually removed. The name "Ye Guang" could also be changed.

Nowadays, a more formal name is more conducive to entering the big stage.

There have also been a lot of changes within the exchange. Originally, the projects here were mainly related to human industries, but now there are many people of other races.

Trade between races also accounts for a large part of the trade. For example, the artwork of the elves, the weapons of the dwarves, and the meat of the orcs are all very profitable items.

Li Hao took out his membership card as before and went upstairs.

The private room had been renovated and was now bright and airy. Li Hao had just taken a sip of his tea when Shalia arrived.

"You're back." Shalia had changed significantly. She had become more serious. She had once been a scarlet merchant, relying on her own abilities to fight on her own, but now she was a leader, no longer possessing the same hostility and sense of danger she once had.

Li Hao has complicated feelings towards the snake woman in front of him. It was she who took care of her during the first and second time she traveled through time, especially the first time, as she saved him.

If the person who saved her was Victoria, everything might be different, and she would be grateful to this savior with all her heart.

But it was Sharia, a Sharia who threatened her and coveted her at any time.

However, Li Hao felt that he had already given the bloody merchant enough compensation. Such a huge benefit was given to her.

"I'm back. How's the exchange doing lately?" Li Hao asked.

Shalia looked at Li Hao warily. Li Hao was actually talking to her with his face. This made her think a lot.

"Everything is going according to your plan, and now we have reached the second stage." Shalia chose her words carefully.

"That's great. You manage it very well." Li Hao took another sip of tea.

"...Why don't you ask in detail?" Shalia was prepared to be asked about the details, but she didn't expect Li Hao to just say this. It's good.

"That's good. During the time you've been away from the exchange, you've become more mature in your control of the business. I've given you the follow-up plans, and I'll hand over the exchange to you from now on." Li Hao explained that this was her only time traveling through time. How could she care about the exchange anymore?

"By the way, please ask everyone to come over. I haven't seen you all for a while. There are still some things to talk about." Li Hao added.

This final journey didn't involve any special missions. The base had no other plans, so Li Hao planned to meet up with old friends. He had already gained a great deal in the interstellar world, and the base was still digesting what Li Hao had brought back from the apocalyptic world.

"Aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?" Salia knew that Li Hao used Perry's identity and joined the Mage Tower as a second-level potion master.

Won’t I be exposed when I meet Victoria and the others?

Li Hao said with a smile. "Don't worry, they won't see my strength. No one will think I'm Perry."

As she spoke, she gathered her mental strength, and soon a formal mage of ordinary level emerged.

All Shaliya could say was, "Okay, I'll invite them over this afternoon."

Shalia originally thought Li Hao was taking a risk, but when the invitation to the Mage Tower arrived and she saw it was for the celebration of Master Perry's third-level mage, she realized that Li Hao was now a third-level mage. No wonder she wasn't afraid of being exposed.

She never expected Li Hao to be promoted so quickly. When Shalia came to her senses, she found that her scales were standing up.

Li Hao did not wait at the exchange, but went out to take a good look around Charleston.

When she returned to the exchange, she happened to meet Victoria who had returned. She rushed over and hugged Li Hao directly.

"Ahhh, I haven't seen you for a long time. What took you so long to come back?" The red-haired girl jumped up and down while hugging Li Hao. "You too, you're so cruel. You haven't come back for so long. You haven't given me any news since I received your letter last time. I was so worried."

"I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you now?" Li Hao asked.

"I'm a full-fledged mage now. I became one three months ago," Victoria said proudly. She had earned Michelle's praise for becoming a full-fledged mage in less than three years.

"That's so amazing~" Li Hao also praised very enthusiastically.

When Shalia heard this, her face twisted. How could this be considered impressive? You, who became a third-level mage in less than three years, are saying that a first-level mage is impressive.

Shalia walked up to the two of them and said, "Come up, the room is ready. The others are here too."

Shalia didn't dare look directly at Li Hao. She lowered her head and followed behind him. A Level 3 mage would easily deal with her. Would she kill her to silence her?

After arriving in the private room, Li Hao first mentioned that she had become a formal mage. Victoria was happy for her, but she also complained that she had become a formal mage, but she didn't say it, thinking that she was laughing at her.

Li Hao coaxed his friend. "I brought you some very good gifts. I prepared several."

Li Hao was still very satisfied with Victoria; she hadn't changed at all. She was still as friendly as ever, and she was the only person in the world that Li Hao was worried about.

Li Hao hadn't seen the others for over a year. Glenn had grown fatter, and his clothes and rings were more expensive and high-end, and he looked very cheerful.

Although the exchange was managed by Sharia and he was responsible for some of the affairs, he made a lot of money and his family was one of the most powerful families in Charleston.

Even recently, he has been discussing marriage with a great nobleman because he is an important figure in the stock exchange.

But the one who changed the most was Maggie. She could not hide her pride in the past. She was born in an aristocratic family and had a very powerful background. At the beginning, Li Hao did not dare to offend her and could only coax her.

But now Maggie's long golden hair has been cut short, her skin is pale and there are dark circles under her eyes. Although she is still wearing aristocratic equipment, gorgeous dresses and accessories, the feeling of unbridled indulgence is gone.

Li Hao simply said that she would no longer be involved in the affairs of the exchange, and her shares would be divided equally between Victoria and Shalia.

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't believe it.

Victoria quickly pulled Li Hao over. "You founded the exchange, and now you've created a sizable gold coin. You get this much every year."

She gestured and said that the money was a lot and wanted her to take back her decision.

When Shalia heard this, she hadn't expected Li Hao to actually give her any shares. Why? She was confused and puzzled as to why she would give her shares. Looking at Li Hao, the bloody merchant was surprised by the transaction for the first time.

"This is the first gift." Li Hao said, "This little bit of property is nothing to me. I have a lot of properties in other places."

On Earth, of course.

Hearing Li Hao say this, Victoria didn't say anything, but she still grumbled, "Why are you so extravagant?"

Li Hao also explained some things, mainly to Glenn and Shalia. He hoped that they could bring positive changes to the world through their investments in the exchange.

After the meeting, Li Hao was about to go out and play with Victoria, but she was stopped by Maggie, who she still owed an answer to.

I don't know what Maggie wants to ask me. What if she asks the same question as Shalia?
