:¡Ë Chapter 274 Making Money ¡°That¡¯s¡ª¡ª¡± Ivan subconsciously took a step forward, then realized and stopped. "As expected, if you accept the canonization of Demon God's Castle, you can obtain a large amount of precious prayer power. With such a sharp weapon, it is not surprising that Demon God's Castle can become the ruling center of our demon clan." Joanna whispered, She looked at the demon baron who was receiving the power of prayer in the square, her eyes were shining brightly, and she obviously had a new idea. "Ouch -" Demon Baron Harigra suddenly raised his head and roared violently. A wave of invisible airflow immediately rolled up around his body. The airflow spiraled outside his body. The sharp air blade was like a miniature wind blade. The arc-shaped trajectory continued to cut the hard stone slabs on the square, and the fine stone powder scattered everywhere, making a tooth-aching squeaking sound. The air flow surrounding Baron Harigela quickly calmed down. He stopped roaring, raised his head and saluted the Speaker of the House of Commons who always kept a smile on his face with a joyful expression on his face. Then he stood aside and accepted the title. The position was given up. "Did he just break through?" Ivan looked at the center of the square and said with some uncertainty. Aiwen could sense that after this change, the fluctuation of the power of prayer that enveloped Haligra suddenly decreased by about 50%. "Probably, I heard that as long as it does not exceed the sixth level, the power of prayer is still very effective in breaking through bottlenecks," said Joanna. "The guy who was born in Demon God's Castle is really lucky." Ivan felt jealous after hearing this and couldn't help but murmured. "Good luck not necessarily." Joanna shook her head after hearing this. "In any case, relying on external force to break through the bottleneck, even if there are no sequelae, is still much worse than the normal breakthrough demon in terms of strength. Of course, If we don't break through the bottleneck, the gap will widen, so maybe this is the best choice for me and Quito." "Quido?" Ai Wen said silently, and then he suddenly remembered, From the first time he met Kido, Kido seemed to be stuck at the peak of the third level. Now two years have passed, and Aiwen has grown from a little devil who has never entered the level to a third-level mage, but Kido is still stuck at the peak of a third-level warrior and has not made any progress. From this perspective, Kido's qualifications It shouldn't be considered that outstanding. This time he chose to grant a territory, and he thought he couldn't wait any longer. "But no matter how much strength there is, the fourth level is still the fourth level. If nothing else happens, Kido will definitely be able to achieve a breakthrough in this conferment ceremony. In other words, Joanna will have at least two fourth level warriors in her hands. I'm strong." Ivan thought silently. They are both at the fourth level. If we only speculate based on their strength, Ollie can easily settle the two on Joanna's side. However, outsiders will not know this kind of thing unless there is a real fight, so judging from the momentum In comparison, Joanna, who has two fourth-level professionals, actually overwhelms Ivan, who only has one fourth-level professional. In addition, one thing also makes Alvin scratch his head, that is, Ollie is not Alvin's subordinate, but because of the habit he has developed in the past year, he does not exclude Alvin from making decisions for him when he cannot leave Alvin. It's just an arrangement, and it's unlikely that he will be able to do anything for him. "Closed, closed, closed" Looking at the center of the square, a named Demon Baron broke through the bottleneck on the spot, and countless thoughts turned into roars, constantly echoing in Ivan's mind. Except when the first Demon Baron swore allegiance, which seemed a bit fresh, the conferment ceremony of the seven following ones gradually became boring for Ivan, especially the strength of each Demon Baron who was conferred on the spot. He got a big improvement, which was particularly dazzling to him. After finally waiting for all eight demon barons to be conferred, and the speaker of the House of Commons finally finished all his closing speeches, Alvin and Joanna found Quito, who was in tears of excitement, and pulled him towards the city hall. "UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuMs. , is a more important thing than obtaining a barony. "Okay, don't cry. You are now a dignified baron with a territory. Pay attention to your image and don't let other demons see the joke." Joanna looked at it for a few seconds and finally couldn't help but shook her head. "I knowbut, I just can't help it" Kido choked with still red eyes. "If you can't help it, just hold it in. If you can't hold it in, just stand farther away from me," Joanna said straightforwardly. "Hmm How can you let a young lady stay alone with a young man" Kido glanced at Alvin, breathed and muttered, then pulled out the white scarf tied around his neck and wiped it on his face randomly. A few times,?Throwing aside the scarf that had turned black and yellow. For this old subordinate who occasionally behaved nervously, Johanna had no choice but to pretend that she had not heard his whisper, turned to Ivan and said, "When are you going to ask me for a loan of 80,000 gold coins? Normally?" Under normal circumstances, Demon God's Castle will only confer baronship once a month. If you ask me to borrow 80,000 gold coins just to buy a baron territory, then you'd better wait until the next canonization ceremony is about to begin and come to me again. This way, you won¡¯t have to bear an extra month¡¯s interest. ¡°Miss, you want to lend Aiwen a loan of 80,000 gold coins? This was the first time that Kido heard about this matter, but he didn't ask. He stood beside Joanna honestly and stared at Alvin fiercely, with a look of 'We are familiar with each other, but if you dare If you don't pay back your debt, I'll have the look on my face to kill my relatives out of justice. "The reason why I borrowed these 80,000 gold coins from you is indeed to buy a territory." Ivan nodded and admitted, but he then came to the opposite conclusion to Johanna. "Therefore, I think it is better to borrow these 80,000 gold coins from you now." Ten thousand gold coins, but the timing is just right." "Really?" Joanna asked with interest. "With these 80,000 gold coins now, I have one month to use this money to earn more funds. But if I wait until one month later and spend all these 80,000 gold coins on purchasing territory, Then I can really only count on the output of the territory to repay the loan. Although it can give me an extra month, a territory that can produce 150,000 gold coins in two months does not exist in Gray Plains. Even if it does, It won¡¯t fall on me,¡± Aiwen said seriously. "Evan, you are indeed a devil with great talent as a businessman. Even if your practical skills are not very good, you are already among the top businessmen in terms of your ability to make choices according to the situation." Joanna did said with a complimentary gesture. "No, I just think a little further." Ivan said modestly. "If you insist, then let me do it, but I am very curious. If you don't rely on territory, just with these 80,000 gold coins, how big a storm can you make in Demon Castle in one month?" Joanna smiled road. "Then, just wait and see," Aiwen said calmly, suppressing the excitement in his heart. ¡¡¡¡ Under normal circumstances, it is too difficult to turn 80,000 gold coins into 150,000 gold coins within two months. If this kind of business really existed, Joanna must have started it long ago, and she wouldn¡¯t have to work hard. He went to the front line to open an insurance bank. So strictly speaking, what Ivan wants to do with the 80,000 gold coins in his hand should actually be regarded as a gambling business, and this gambling idea was reminded by Joanna's insurance bank, that is, lottery tickets. Anyone who has done a little research on how profitable a business like lottery is, must know very well. No one is doing it now, just because no one has ever thought about it. Once Ivan breaks through this layer window paper, and successfully earned the first pot of gold, then if nothing unexpected happens, within a few days, various forces from the Demon Castle will get involved. Ivan never thought that he would be able to hold on to this business forever, nor did he have the ability, so he only cared about whether he could make enough profits in the first few rounds of lottery issuance. After getting Joanna¡¯s loan, Ivan immediately contacted Felipe, and then through Felipe¡¯s relationship and the few connections he had accumulated in the past half month, he applied to the city hall for the right to issue the ¡®Devil¡¯s Castle Welfare Lottery¡¯. No powerful person in the city hall had enough knowledge about a new thing like lottery, so after Ivan spent more than a thousand gold coins to open the joints, this power was officially delegated to him. So, what needs to be done next , only the printing, publicity and distribution of lottery tickets remain. In order to gain as much benefit as possible before the many forces in Demon Castle reacted, Aiwen adopted the strategy of selling and drawing prizes on the same day. On the first day of lottery sales, the sales situation was not good, but the cost of printing lottery tickets was not much, so it was able to break even. As the news spread, winners continued to appear, and the sales of lottery tickets In the next few days, the profits skyrocketed, from a few hundred to a few thousand. On the fifth day, after deducting the bonuses, the net sales profit reached a terrifying 10,000 gold. This is also thanks to the large number of residents and mercenaries in the Demon Castle. Even if each person only buys a lottery ticket with one gold coin in his life, after deducting the bonus, Ivan can still earn 600,000 to 700,000 gold. If we were still in Bone Prison City, the less than 10,000 residents there would not be able to support such a lottery business with a transaction volume of tens of thousands of dollars. Although it is not clear how much Ivan earned from this business, excluding bonuses, lottery salesThe popularity of the lottery was clearly visible to all the forces in the Demon God's Castle, so soon some forces also obtained the right to issue lottery tickets and began to test the waters. It's a pity that the winning probability of each level of bonus needs to be carefully calculated to ensure huge profits. If a bunch of lottery tickets are issued casually, either the winning rate is extremely low and no one cares, or the winning rate is too high to make ends meet. This phenomenon of booming sales and weak profits successfully confused some forces at first, allowing Aiwen's huge lottery profits to continue for a while. However, as various forces gained increasing experience in lottery issuance, Aiwen was able to benefit from lottery tickets. The profits gained plummeted. As the profits dropped to only a few hundred pieces a day, Ivan decisively transferred the already famous 'Demon Castle Welfare Lottery' to a certain force for 20,000 gold coins. He made a gorgeous turn and quit the industry. ¡¡¡¡¡ I¡¯m reading a fanfic, but the update has been delayed. I¡¯m sorry, so I¡¯d recommend it, Holy Grail Code. Personally I think it¡¯s pretty good.
