I wonder what goes inside the brain of an alchemists.
Barns left feeling quite determined bringing with him the 250k magic cores.
I wonder if that guy would need additional fundings.
I saw him staring at the piece of paper on my desk.. I was calculating okay... As a gambler addict, the only way I could cope with was counting my money.
I don't know about others but that's how I cope with it.
The war is already feeling like some games, I'm more focused on raising funds so that I can just counter attack that guy who keeps sending army on my walls.
Just a while ago, he even send over 500k troops, you know.
Good thing we have a , literal fire wall.
They can't climb up and it'll take a while to even bring water over.
It seems I've been wasting some time before, stocking up on magic cores instead of straight up buying mana crystal with the excess.
I'm tired, walking back and forth is always a good idea to kill time.
I soon fell into a deep nap.
The next day I woke up, I instantly opened my wallet and see my mana crystals grow from 5588 mana crystals to 7264 mana crystals.
I wonder what this mana crystals are even used for, I feel like just lying down waiting for the days to go by until I reach the cap and then worry about the next currency to use.
I instead wake up from my bed and walked out the room. I don't plan on visiting the walls daily, my legs feel like dying already.
The workers on my castle site seems diligent, so far, I don't see anyone resting.. Not even once... Are they robots? Do these world have robots?
I opened the official forum and checked the market. Magic cores are now way too abundant, my bad for saturating the market
I laughed at myself depreciatingly .
As I was browsing lazily, a red message came across the screen.
'World's richest lord' Yu Zhong: I have opened a chamber of commerce, those who wants to participate, don't forget to read our terms before messaging us. Let's help each other and aim for global economy control!
It seems everyone has gotten the message as everyone was talking about it.
I opened the rankings for the wealth to check how high was his wealth that he could be titled already.
"Richest Lord!"
1. Yu Zhong | 865k gold coins
2. James | 800k gold coins
3. (hidden) | 700k gold coins.
4. .....
So gold coins determined our wealth huh.
I resisted the urge to sell mana crystals and get the title away from him.
The market for magic cores wasn't very large although it was still in demand, atleast it will take a week or two before the amount of circulation in the market goes back down to normal. Hopefully.
I feel a sense of achievement, being able to mess with the global economy like this.
Unlike that Yu Zhong guy who aims to control economy, I'm directly messing with it.
Fufu, I closed the forum and took out a paper and a pen again.
After an hour long of calculation, I smiled to myself and call for a soldier.
"Your majesty."
The soldier came in and kneeled.. It seems everyone have a sense of kneeling everytime they see me.
(As they don't see much action on the walls, some troops were taken back to guard the villages. Weird indeed.)
"Go and call a group of soldiers and bring this mana crystals into the laboratory. It'll help out in their researches."
I left out exactly 100 mana crystals a day for the usage of laboratory. I read in a light novel that, more mana makes one have a better sense of surroundings and what not.. I don't really buy it.
