Chapter 437 - Crazy Income
When Abel saw the transferred points, his eye’s brightened up, not because he was greedy, but because there were 80,000 points.
He thought that it would take a long time to accumulate over 200,000 points, so he didn’t expect that it would only take 20 days, and he already had a little more than half. He just needed around two months to earn all his points.
Abel only earned 3,200 points in the last six days. Now, why was there a sudden surge in the sale of Forgotten Land? Such methods to earn points were much faster than robbery; with just a few days’ time, Abel already earned back the points he used to purchase a magic tower and teleportation circle.
“You can earn points this fast by opening a restaurant?” Abel questioned.
Recently, he had not relaxed. He practiced his skills in the courtyard during the day and returned to the Dark World at night to continue in the labyrinthine prison. He had successfully broken through the first two levels of the prison and was cleaning the third level.
Putting all his energy on cultivation made him almost forget time. He was so undisturbed that he forgot everything other than himself, and the matter of the Forgotten Land was handed over to Bartoli. Therefore, he had not visited it again since she had last reported.
“Master, the deliciousness from your recipe coupled with the ‘rabbit essence’ promotion has allowed us to make a profit,” Bartoli said.
“Of course, the wizards have been flocking to the restaurant like crazy lately because three wizards were promoted in the store recently. If this continues, the income will increase over time!” Bartoli explained with a smile.
“Bartoli, since we have earned so much, we must pay the taxes in full according to the laws of the Liante City, and don’t let anyone get hold of you!” Abel said.
Abel’s first reaction upon learning that the Forgotten Land was earning so many points and other people would be jealous. He needed to minimize this.
“My lord, please rest assured, the restaurant in Liante City operates under a uniform tax system. Due to the size of the Forgotten Land, all we have to do is turn in a tax of 200 points per month!” Bartoli replied.
Although Bartoli did not know much about the tax system in Liante City, Manager Mahler was very experienced and had asked her to pay the taxes as early as they noticed the huge increase in income, and the current month’s taxes were already paid.
“Only 200 points!” Abe couldn’t help but be a little speechless about the tax system. The place hadn’t even been opened for a month, and his shop was earning 80,000 points. It was outrageous when you only had to pay 200 points in tax.
“My lord, according to Manager Mahler, the store’s previous owner, Johnny, was also making just over 200 points per month in profit at the time,” Bartoli said
“After taxes were deducted, they did not have the remaining points to pay for the store’s employees, which was why the store was transferred to us.”
“You have to manage the ‘rabbit essence’ these days. At this rate, some people will have bad thoughts about it. Anyway, the ‘rabbit essence’ must not be exposed!” Abel commanded.
Please rest assured, I keep the ‘rabbit essence’ personally, and only leave some of the ‘rabbit essence’ hooked up water for the kitchen every day, and the amount was only enough for one day, even if someone gets the diluted ‘rabbit essence,’ it won’t be of much use.” Bartoli said confidently as she patted the space bag on her body.
As her memory slowly returned, her former management talents began to return, and she used to manage a lot of business when she was a noble count, and the management of a restaurant was a piece of cake for her.
“This is a small set of defensive magic circles, you take it and set it up in the kitchen, this defensive magic circle will also be able to protect the kitchen for a while, and so it can withhold until reinforcements arrive. It also allows the shop staff to duck into the defensive magic circle if something happens!” Abel took out a small set of defensive magic circles and handed it to Bartoli and said.
“Yes, my lord, you are very thoughtful!” Bartoli said as she bowed and took over the defensive magic circle.
In the Wizards Guild, the four elite wizards in Liante City at this time were all sitting together, and before them was a piece of information provided by the Intelligence Department.
Elite Wizard Lorenzo, Elite Wizard Nigel, Elite Wizard Allenby, Elite Wizard Eddington, these four Elite Wizards were all up to level 17 and were also the most powerful fighting force in the human world of the Holy Continent.
Of course, nominally, the city was still run by the Kingdom of St. Ellis, the Kingdom of St. Pierrt, and the Kingdom of St. Anwall, but that was just to manage the people’s livelihood and so on, and all it got was some tax revenue.
And the real power was in the hands of these elite senior wizards. They controlled the defensive magic circle that surrounded the entire Liante City. Of course, their power was limited. The powerful memory analysis capabilities of the City Spirit kept the four elite wizards in a position of mutual supervision.
These four elite wizards belonged to different Wizard factions, so the entire Liante City was always in a kind of balance of power. Although the four elite wizards were powerful, they also had to follow the rules of the Wizard Guild, and the points in their hands were earned by their hard work.
They couldn’t get as many points as they wanted. Although the city of Liante City claimed to be the center of humanity, it was only the center of humanity in the Holy Continent.
“Here’s a confirmed piece of information from the intelligence service!” Wizard Lorenzo was in charge of the Intelligence Division, and this discussion was based on the information in his hands.
The other three elite wizard eyes swept over to the information on the table, but none of them reached out to open it. The four elite wizards had recently learned from various sources about a restaurant called the Forgotten Land. It has been earning points like crazy in Liante City, with thousands of points earned every day. Therefore, It made them feel really jealous.
That’s why this distribution meeting was held. The four elite wizards believed that if they joined forces, they could buy this restaurant and become their money-making tool.
“The Forgotten Land was purchased from the original owner Johnny twenty days ago. With all the formalities in the shop along with the five shopkeepers, were all transferred together. “Wizard Lorenzo’s mind at this moment was already very different from yesterday, and he continued his introduction unhurriedly.”
“Since the opening of the Forgotten Land. There have been three incidents of wizard promotion. The first time was after Wizard Milo ate a dish called steamed eggs on the third day of the opening and generated a promotion aura. Then the promotion was successful with the help of Master Abel! After a pause, Wizard Lorenzo continued.
The second time was the Menard Wizard, who likewise ordered a steamed egg. With just a bite, he generated the promotion aura and successfully promoted it because of the magic circle that was created by his companion who had been arranged.
The third time was Wizard Acheson, who ordered a dish of rib soup, followed by a direct promotion from tenth-ranked wizard to intermediate wizard, and the mana gathering circle was arranged by the Intermediate Wizard Bartoli.
When Wizard Lorenzo said this, the eyes of the other three elite wizards all lighted up, and Wizard Nigel asked: “Lorenzo, has the intelligence agency confirmed these?”
“Yes, every piece of information was confirmed by the intelligence service, because there are multiple wizards present every time they are promoted, so it was easy to prove its authenticity.” Wizard Lorenzo nodded and said.
“Let’s not talk about what we had known, I just want to know what was the background of this shop, and in whose hands it was now.” Wizard Allenby waved his hand; he didn’t care about any of this, as long as the Forgotten Land was able to attract guests and earn a lot of points.
“The owner of the Forgotten Land was Lady Bartoli, the intermediate wizard!” Wizard Lorenzo said with a faint smile.
“So what are you waiting for. Find Lady Bartoli and spend some points to buy the Forgotten land. She’s not going to be able to keep such a lucrative business as an intermediate wizard!” The wizard Allenby couldn’t help but be excited once he heard that the owner was an intermediate wizard.
“But this Lady Bartoli was Master Abel’s steward, and there is no doubt about it, Master Abel with this intermediate wizard of his.” Wizard Lorenzo’s tone heaved a lot when he spoke of Master Abel.
