Chapter 862: 269. Preliminary Success_2
“No problem. Tell her that starting from the third month, the supply of fire-element magic stones will be 100,000 pieces per month. I will increase the supply to 10 million pieces within a year,” Noland Lee said.
“Okay, then I’ll tell her just that,” Selena wrote a few lines on the document:
“Selling magic stones requires us to pay taxes to the Department of Magic, which are 15% of the total price. After each transaction with the Farrell Clan, I will use the Magic Messenger to send the taxes to the Department of Magic.
“We don’t necessarily have to sell fire-element magic stones to the Farrell Clan, Jarvis. Although selling magic stones at the Energy Exchange in Starlight City incurs a 30% tax, the transaction price there is 3700 gold coins each. Every time we sell a fire-element magic stone to the Farrell Clan, we miss out on earning 1315 gold coins…”
Smiling at Selena’s muttering, Noland Lee said:
“Let’s talk about this matter later. Before we own a sub-dimensional plane, one-to-one magic stone transactions are safer. Once we have the sub-dimensional plane built, then we can consider selling magic stones openly.” noveldrama
...
“Okay, Jarvis,” Selena tapped the document with her pen:
“Next up is the mining of non-metallic ores. We provide the Deep Sea Branch with a distribution map of non-metallic ores, commissioned by Mira Faar to mine. Our gain from this transaction isn’t gold coins, but magic boxes filled with non-metallic ores. Fifteen percent of the non-metallic ore mined will be ours.”
“Keep those non-metallic ores,” Noland Lee said:
“Don’t sell them. I want to use them to construct a sub-dimensional plane.”
“Hmm, okay. I’ve made a note of it,” Selena wrote down several lines and, with a flick of the document, handed it to Noland Lee:
“The accounts are roughly settled. Take a look. We now have a total of 230 million gold coins in cash. Of that, 100 million is the deposit from Lonco for the purchase of the Magic Scrolls, 30 million is the advance payment from the Farrell Clan for the order of fire-element magic stones. The remaining 100 million gold coins are the deposit from the Deep Sea Branch entrusting us to break through the Queen’s Domain. If we can’t penetrate the Queen’s Domain, this deposit will have to be returned.”
Noland Lee took the carefully crafted bill from Selena, and Denise Green leaned over to examine it.
Compared to the lists and proposals Denise had drawn up in the past for the purchase of islands, Selena’s current bill was obviously more professional, detailed, and accurate.
Taking a closer look at the final row on the bill, Denise Green’s eyes nearly spun with the string of digits.
“Our… What’s our expected highest monthly income for the next six months?… 175 million gold coins?!”
When Denise Green saw the digits clearly, her heartbeat skipped, blanking her mind for a moment.
She never dreamed, not even in her wildest dreams, that just by staying within the Core Circle for less than three months, she would be living days with a monthly income of over 100 million gold coins…
Noland Lee gently rubbed the befuddled young witch’s head and said soothingly:
“It’s normal, Denise. I’ve been lucky to have both ‘Omniscient’ and ‘Magic Proficient’, and I’m a bit bolder and wiser than an average wizard, so naturally, I’m able to create this wealth.”
Noland Lee actually hadn’t finished his thought…
The “175 million gold coins” that Denise saw as an estimated amount represented only the highest monthly cash income in the coming six months.
In it, Selena hadn’t calculated the value of 15% of the non-metallic ore mined according to the market price of the ore into the expected income.
If the non-metallic ores were included, the highest monthly income in the next half year might reach around 250 million gold coins.
Noland Lee looked at the document in his hand, feeling moved that he had finally achieved a monthly income over 100 million in another world.
It has to be said, having the System at hand really does make one popular wherever they go.
Up to today, his siege operations had been initially successful, and his overall strength had undergone a qualitative transformation.
In social aspects, he had influence within the Pangula Family and the Farrell Clan, laying the necessary social foundation for the mining of non-metallic ores and the sale of fire-element magic stones.
In combat strength, with ‘Thundercloud Technique,’ ‘Sonic Blast,’ Mental Magic, death spell, Earth Magic, Deep Sea Spell, these spells were mostly enough to ensure that he could resolve battles quickly when facing wizard-type enemies.
When dealing with Sea Monsters, Magic Beasts, and other enemies, his offensive means were still somewhat lacking, but that wasn’t the most troublesome part.
The most troublesome part was that his means of defense were very scarce and limited, almost solely relying on Mental Magic to evade enemies.
Therefore, improving his defensive abilities became Noland Lee’s focus in combat strength for the coming period.
In terms of money, the siege operations were highly effective.
An income of at least 100 million gold coins per month was the best proof.
With this level of income, Noland Lee no longer needed to consider robbing other people’s coffers.
Of course, the condition for stable income was that Noland Lee could adhere to trade agreements and provide non-metallic ore resource maps, Magic Scrolls, and fire-element magic stones on time and on schedule.
At this time, time was indeed money.
After confirming the bill was correct, Noland Lee stood up, leaving the confused Companion Witch and the Snow-winged Cat inside the house. He called Selena and went Underground.
The dwelling he was currently staying in was a five-story Island Stone House.
Each floor had a Hidden Chamber connected to the Underground Space.
After entering the Hidden Chamber and casting a Flight Spell, he could descend the vertical passage and enter the Underground Area.
