Chapter 6 No money left.
studio.

Richard calculated the funds in his hand again, and then clapped his hands vigorously: "Damn, how can the money be spent so quickly!"

If you want to build a floating city, you need money.

How to make money in the Lighthouse Country? Richard was also overwhelmed. In fact, he thought about learning the local special customs of buying things for free, but if he did that, unless he went to the bank to buy things for free, that little money would not be enough.

If he hadn't robbed the bank, it would have been difficult to buy supplies through regular channels, so Richard didn't mind giving it a try.

As for finding a job, how many years would it take? Of course, if those companies recruited undead, Richard could consider summoning a few hundred undead to work and earn money.

Unfortunately, those people have too much prejudice against the undead. You know, in the City of Wisdom, the undead are the most popular labor force.

It has low cost, no need to rest, no need for salary, and you just have to work hard. Apart from its shabby appearance and low IQ, it is simply the best tool.

Richard was deeply regretful that he could not make money by working as a ghost. He could only choose other ways to make money.

"Maybe I can go and borrow some from other gangs." Thinking of the Hungry Wolf Gang before, Li Jue felt that this was also a way to make money, and he was grateful for the gift from nature.

Of course, this way of making money cannot come often. After all, even the fruits need time to mature.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. In addition to this way of making money, he plans to open up another one - handling some special events.

In this world, although most of the time things seem normal, according to his judgment, there are still many special events.

Dealing with these cases for the rich must bring in a lot of money. Why do supernatural cases always happen to the rich? How much power do the poor have, and how many evil things can they do?

As for some people who deliberately seek death or look for supernatural events, we can only respect their personal choices and believe that God will save them.

So, Richard opened a detective agency in a nearby neighborhood, handling unusual incidents to make money and also obtaining some special materials. In addition to these, this industry could obtain a lot of intelligence and information.

In this low-magic world, there must be a reason for abnormal events to occur, either some extraordinary items, or other things, or even the abnormal events themselves, which may be magical materials.

Although Richard can also cultivate some magical materials, the demiplane cannot be opened, so the magical materials he can cultivate are very limited.

Many magical materials need to be in an environment with rich elements to evolve. For example, mithril, this kind of thing can only be found in a world that has experienced elemental tides. In the ordinary world, only rich elemental energy can be used to induce the evolution of ore raw stones, and the success rate is very touching.

Richard prepared a staff made of oak with a gem inlaid on it. After he enchanted the staff, it could store three second-level spells and three first-level spells.

The oak tree was an old oak heartwood that he found in the woods behind the villa, and then he infused and cultivated it with elemental energy.

He prepared 'Energy Shield', 'Secondary Deflection', 'Light Body Technique', 'Arcane Missiles', 'Flame Jet' and 'Rainbow Jet' in his staff, covering output, defense, control and escape.

Each spell can only be used once and needs to be recharged after use. This is also the highest level magic item he can make so far.

Of course, the reason why a staff was made instead of other weapons was mainly because Richard had practiced stick fighting, and if he was pressed to the limit, he would just pick up the staff and use it. Moreover, stick weapons have critical and weak-point attack effects on female enemies.

——The Abnormal Matters Processing Office was deserted for several days after it opened, which prevented Richard from realizing his plan to make a fortune.

When he has nothing to do, Richard plans to go for a stroll in the old town, maybe he can encounter another gift from nature.

Just as he was about to close the door and leave, the phone next to him suddenly rang.

Richard picked up the phone and answered it. After a few minutes, he put it down and said excitedly, "It's finally opening!"

The person who called was a wealthy man. The matter was a bit complicated. There were some problems in the mine he bought. There were attacks by humanoid beasts, and several miners had gone missing so far.

I called the police, but they just treated it as a missing person case. After investigating for a while and finding nothing, they left.

As a result, after the police left, another missing case occurred soon. As for continuing to call the police, the police just cordoned off the area and set up warning signs, and did not even think about solving the problem.

Are you kidding me? How much money do the police in the Lighthouse Country get? What's the point of risking your life? Besides, the duty of the police in the Lighthouse Country is not to protect the lives and property of taxpayers.

There was no other choice but for the rich man to spend money and organize a team of people to search for him. However, these people were attacked in the forest and only one person managed to escape.

Originally, they didn't believe in any supernatural events, but the facts were already before their eyes. As for asking the capitalists to give up the mine, they had to be killed.

When there was really no other good solution, they could only try their best and start looking for all kinds of strange people to solve the problem, such as gypsy witches, etc., and Richard's Abnormal Events Agency was one of them.

Michigan is not close to New York, and there are the five Great Lakes in between. Fortunately, the Lighthouse Country has convenient air transportation, so Richard arrived here smoothly.

Michigan is rich in minerals and natural resources. The largest city here is Detroit. No one would have imagined that this automobile capital would go bankrupt in a dozen years.

By the time Richard arrived here, there were already several groups of people, including three strong men who should be in the same group, an old man, and a woman in strange clothes who looked like a gypsy witch.

Just as Richard was observing, a middle-aged man with great momentum walked in and said, "You all know what happened. I don't care if you are liars or not. Whoever can help me solve the problem will get a reward of 300,000. If you can't solve it, hmph."

"Damn it, I've had enough! Do you know how much money I'm going to lose if I stop working for one day?"

"Mr. Smith, I think we should just leave the problem to professionals like us. Don't you think these old, weak, women and children will only hinder us?" A sturdy man stepped forward and said, looking provocatively at the old man, woman and Richard next to them.

"Young man, muscles can't solve the problem. Leave now while there is still a chance. If it's too late, you can only pray for God's blessing!" said the old man, glancing at them.

"You're looking for death, old man!" said the sturdy man as he was about to step forward, but the old man flipped his hand and a revolver was instantly pointed at the sturdy man.

"Be quiet!" Smith said coldly, "I'm not interested in watching your performance. Solve the problem as soon as possible!"

"Henry, take them over!"

As he spoke, a young man walked out behind him and led everyone out of the villa.
