Chapter 117 Self Improvement: Money Making Grind
A week had passed since Olivia had stayed home. I had given her a pure mana crystal, which significantly improved her mana levels.
That much mana made three months' worth of progress for her. She would be at the third rank if she had two more.
The present I gave her almost turned her into a NEET. Olivia would play it whenever she got the chance, and I had to limit her playtime to at least two hours a day.
Was this how parents felt when their children were like this? I was starting to get scared if I was a parent one day.
It was morning, and today there wasn't any class. We could do whatever we wanted today without worrying about the time.
Last night was pretty wild. I had given in to my desires and had done what I did to Olivia a week ago.
Olivia was hugging me tightly. I had to wake her up, so I could move. I have decided what I need to do this week.
"Olivia, please wake up." I grabbed her bare tits, using pleasure to wake her up.
"Hmm~!" She squirmed before waking up.
"Charlie...?" Olivia woke up from my touch.
"We have something important to do."
Olivia jolted wide awake. "Important? I don't remember you saying something was important today."
"We're going to do self-improvement." Olivia and I have been indulging ourselves for the past few weeks. The both of us had been highly unproductive with our time.
"My crotch hurts. Maybe next time." Olivia wanted to go away hearing the word self-improvement.
"Olivia, I also don't like to hear that word, but it is a must." If we kept going with this lifestyle, I'd be afraid of what was next to come.
"We've been too unproductive with our time. Thinks this as a change of paste." I tried to motivate myself and Olivia on this matter.
Olivia sighed and went along with it. The both of us went to take a bath and clean ourselves.
"Charlie, what are we going to do first?" Olivia was unsure of what we were going to do first.
"Olivia, life runs on money. To be productive, it is to earn money." If we had money, we would get to do more things.
"Let's earn enough money to keep buying you pure mana crystals." The stronger she gets, the more money we earn.
"We could go to the dungeon or do a service where you sell your food."
"Which would you prefer?" There were two choices: we could earn gold coins as fast as we could. I gave Olivia a choice since her opinion on this mattered the most.
"I don't have enough mana to sustain everyone." Olivia was thinking of the possibilities of her choice.
Olivia sighed and picked a decision. "I would like to try selling my food first." Olivia had never done that, but it was something we could easily do.
"First things first, we need a permit."
"Why do we need a permit?" Olivia couldn't be that dumb.
"Don't we need a permit to set up a stall?" Otherwise, it wouldn't be safe.
"No, my caretaker had set up a stall in my orphanage without needing a permit." Was she serious???
"If it were known, then they would be imprisoned." That was good.
"So all we need to do is buy a food stand." Where should we go to buy one?
"We could buy it from someone." Olivia gave an idea, and it would efficiently work.
Heading out of our house, we both searched for a stall to buy. It was early morning, and many people were in their stalls selling their food.
Finding a target, I found a person in mind. "Olivia, let's go with that old man." He looks like an easy target to pick on.
"Gramps! How much money would we need to buy your stall." The old man looks pretty tired of working. He would be someone who we could buy this stall from.
"Five gold coins." Five gold coins could be a lot for someone who couldn't use magic. If he lived an honest life for his remaining days, he could live off those five gold coins.
Handing him five gold coins, the old man looked shocked. He probably wasn't expecting us to buy it. Taking the coins, he left the stall for us.
"Olivia, how much do you think your magic is worth?" It was her magic, so she should price them.
Taking out a pen, I changed the menu. I had taken Olivia to many places for lunch and dinner. She had a wide variety of food that she could conjure. But it was hard to write which we should sell.
Sticking with chicken, beef, and pork would be our three menus because we added effects to them for an increased price.
Food that would recover stamina would be worth three giant silver coins. Food that recovers someone's mana would be eight giant silver coins, and food that recovers one health would be worth eight giant silver coins.
It was necessary to write that it would be effective on rank three mages or lower. We didn't want our stall to have a reputation as a scammer. Olivia's magic work best with rank three magicians or lower.
With our signs ready, our stall is now open. "Olivia, since you will be doing the heavy lifting. I will let you play on the 3DA." I gave her the console since we had nothing better to do than stand here.
Olivia was happy that she could play on the 3DA while working. Playing a game while working that doesn't hinder you is a dream for most people.
Since all the work was done. Olivia needed to use her magic for the people who requested what they needed.
