Chapter 26 An Undeveloped Forest? Start Making Money from Today!
Li Huan had easily obtained a higher level of authority. Whether it was the authority to read books or the resources he could apply for, they had all increased substantially.
However, the Magic Council was not a pure philanthropist. Although Li Huan could get gold coin and resource subsidies, they were far from sufficient!
He could earn skill points from reading books, but even the most capable housewife would not be able to cook a meal without rice! Besides skill points, he also needed far more important resources!
Gold coins!
The Magic Council would help to build his Mage Tower. It would pay 40% of the cost of materials, while Li Huan would bear the remaining 60% as a loan. Although the interest was not high, it was still a sizeable amount!
That would not do! He had to make money! Make money! Li Huan closed the book he was holding, looked up to the sky and sighed.
He did not expect it! A Level 200 big boss in his previous life, now worrying about how to make ends meet!
Li Huan walked to the entrance of the library, and looked at the map of the Imperial City.
Where would that money come from! Li Huan looked at his pocket. He had actually earned quite a lot of gold coins doing various missions lately. As long as he worked diligently for another year or two, he would probably be able to pay off the loan.
But he could not wait that long! The shadow of the Dark Council was still hanging over his head! He had to make money quickly!
As he looked at the map, something clicked in Li Huan’s brain. He suddenly thought of a brilliant idea!
Li Huan walked up to the administrator and pointed at the map. “Eh! Sir! Sir!”
Why were the library administrators in the game always, by default, knowledgeable old men wearing glasses?
“Eh? Isn’t this our genius Summoner? If you want to ask about basic knowledge, I may be able to say a few words. But if you want to ask me how to modify skills, I won’t be able to help!”
“It’s not that! I wanted to ask, whose territory is Lima Forest now?”
Li Huan pointed to a forest on the map as he spoke.
“Oh! Lima Forest! Do you want to apply for that as an experimental site? I suggest you don’t go to Lima Forest. It’s really nothing much. Just a bunch of ordinary trees with very average hardness!”
That’s right! When he heard the man say that, Li Huan’s eyes immediately lit up! That was exactly the answer he wanted!
“All right! Thank you!”
After thanking the old man, Li Huan turned around and left the library. Next, he was going to the Magic Council to apply for his own enclosure!
By enclosure, it meant that he could own that piece of land, and do any kind of work there, as long as it was not illegal. He could test his skills there, or engage in production. And the resources produced by that piece of land would belong to him.
However, the Magic Council and dynasty were not fools. For areas with real value, they would of course keep all the benefits from those places for themselves.
People such as Li Huan could only apply for locations that could only be used for experiments.

“I’ve heard about it too. Didn’t you recently develop a skill on your own? I heard it can drastically increase your strength. Shouldn’t you look for a, uh… relatively more spacious location?”
The Mage reviewing the enclosure application could not quite understand. After all, Li Huan was applying for a location that everyone had always avoided like the plague. The road was uneven and difficult to walk on. It was not close to a water source. And there were numerous poisonous insects and wild beasts. No one wanted that place.
“I’m new here, after all! Just having a place is already pretty good!”.
Of course, Li Huan had said that. But he had already done his calculations! Would anyone truly think that he was silly enough to buy a pig in a poke?
What kind of person was Li Huan! He wanted that piece of land because he knew very well! Even though the wood in that land looked like ordinary low-grade wood, once the bark was removed, it was actually wood extremely suitable for making Mage materials!
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the place had not been developed yet! Even if he just sold a portion as raw materials, he would be able to earn piles of money!
“All right. Since you insist, that piece of land it is! You won’t be able to change it later, and you’ll have to pay the enclosure management fees. If you don’t have any problems, the piece of land is yours.”
He could not understand why Li Huan would knowingly take such a risk. But no one wanted that piece of land anyway. Since Li Huan wanted it, he would just give it to him. That made things easier for him as well.
After Li Huan obtained his enclosure permit, he eagerly rushed into the forest.
“Hehe! You little trees! You’ve truly been mistreated! You must’ve been abandoned here for a long time! Don’t worry, don’t worry! I will definitely not mistreat you!”
Picking up an axe, Li Huan chopped a tree down. Sure enough, he had not remembered wrongly! On the outside, the trees looked no different from ordinary trees. But on the inside, the quality of wood was the absolute best for making Mage tools!
He just had to cut down a few trees, and sell them as raw materials. It would not be long before he would have lots of money!
Li Huan instantly summoned his Skeletons. Those dull-witted Skeletons were the perfect helpers for the job! Oh, right. They were all his Summoned Creatures after all. Of course he should use all available labor on hand! Rielle, come on out!
The young female Elf also appeared in front of Li Huan.
“Huh? Master wants me to help chop trees?”
As he summoned his Summoned Creatures, they could sense the task their master wanted them to accomplish.
Rielle bounced out, preparing to pick up an axe to chop down the trees and separate the barks.
“Eh? Master! Do you intend to make magic wands with this kind of wood?”
Rielle picked up a branch and asked, a little surprised.

“Yes, why?”
Li Huan’s eyes lit up! Could it be that Rielle, who had come from an Elven family, knew a thing or two about manufacturing magic wands?
“I can also help Master to manufacture magic wands! We Elves all have to learn magic and how to manufacture wands. Don’t worry, Master! I’ll make two for you right away!”
Li Huan had really struck it rich! Initially, he just wanted to buy and sell some raw materials. But this was even better. With Rielle’s help, he could sell high-grade consumer goods directly! And the profits from that would be far higher! Rielle set up a manufacturing platform on the spot.
“Master, the manufacturing process actually isn’t complicated. It just requires patience! Watch carefully now!”
