Lin Suo came back holding a notebook.
Inside, it recorded the key players in the counterfeiting business at Kouste Port.
Magic Potion, Alchemy Reagent, Extraordinary Resources, Magic Tools... and Magic Stone!
The counterfeiting industry covered all aspects.
Lin Suo marveled at how even Artificial Magic Stones were being made, just like his. All of them were Low-Level Magic Stones, one-time consumable items.
Without the genuine ones which can be recharged in an abundant Magic Power environment after use.
Although they look perfect on the outside, any Wizard would realize they had been tricked the moment they use one.
Like Late Bell Island, it could sell two million Magic Stones at once simply due to environmental factors.
Regardless of the White Tower or the Ocean Academy.
The daily consumption of Magic Stones is astronomical.
Once used, they are stored away, buried for three to five years, and then dug up and used again.
However, the concentration of Magic Power in a single place is limited, not all can be used to bury empty Magic Stones, otherwise, the cultivation environment for Official Level Wizards would deteriorate.
Under such circumstances, considering the knowledge and resource value, it’s not surprising that Late Bell Island sold two million.
Once the physical resources above are consumed and purified, they are mostly used by the two major forces to bury stones...
Burying them for five to eight cycles, the investment could be recouped.
The notebook kindly recorded the methods to contact these major players, just using the name Levin could grant him trading qualifications.
Levin is the pseudonym used by Reynolds Augustus outside.
Extraordinarily common.
Lin Suo sank into the sofa, stroking his chin.
"So, to sell Artificial Magic Stones, I need to adopt another alias?"
"Wait for now, the current demand for Magic Stones isn’t high, wait to break through as an Official Wizard and when the cultivation requires absorbing Magic Power before considering trading."
"Better to err on the side of caution."
Resolved, Lin Suo resumed his routine of intensive effort, feeling exceptionally satisfied each time he saw a steady increase in Skill Level.
Eating three to five meals a day to satisfy his culinary desires.
Occasionally craving a drink, he would go to the Iron Hook Tavern to quench his thirst.
Oddly enough, since the Eternal Night, Sister Tifa had returned to her earlier self, conversing with him but never entering deeper communication.
Making Lin Suo wonder if he was not up to par.
But that made no sense; he could pull off thirty thousand reps in one go, which was rare among men.
Losing a place of tenderness made him deeply reflect on his pain.
Apart from the obligatory weekly theater visits to watch Miss Jones swing her darling, he was completely immersed in his world.
Time flew by, and more than a month had passed.
The weather warmed up.
Lin Suo’s strength had greatly improved, stepping into a new phase in the Knight Rank, with considerable improvement in the Wizard Rank as well, most importantly, his Round Pupil Meditation Method had reached Level Max.
This allowed him to free up his hand and consider practicing the Moon Snake Meditation Method.
Although this method hadn’t broken through to the Official Wizard Level yet and came with significant side effects, Lin Suo believed his body was already half-demonized.
The Demon Core in his spine was about to form.
He could say he already possessed the essence of an Official Level.
The corrupting aberrations of side effects couldn’t affect him.
On the other hand, this was also preparing for a knowledge monopoly. Although the Round Pupil Meditation Method was an Official Level meditation technique, it could only reach a First Rank Wizard.
There wasn’t even a method to condense a matching Magic Ring.
If not for his possession of an Ancient First Rank witchcraft [Plant Control], even breaking through to the Official Level would only make him half a First Rank Wizard, having the Realm but lacking the matching capabilities.
Now practicing the Moon Snake Meditation Method and breaking its limits several times, reaching the Official Level is undoubtedly the goal.
The main aim is to fuse the Meditation Methods together, deduce the subsequent path, but the progress in meditation is very slow and cannot be practiced simultaneously.
One can only wait until a Meditation Method reaches the Red Grade, which allows perfect control, and then proceed one by one. This is destined to be a long-term project and can only be done gradually.

Added another ten years to his life, the effects of Body Demonization are slowly manifesting.
But the only bottle of Super Magic Dust in hand is running out.
Must accelerate the digging of tunnels.
With Red Grade Mud Stone Transformation, the digging speed is unbelievably fast. If Lin Suo hadn’t intended to widen the tunnels to retrieve the Frog Machine,
the speed would have been even faster.
Even so, the tunnel is not far from the Monster Salt Swamp.
Lin Suo intentionally avoided the Nameless Camp, hence made the tunnel linking to the city outskirts safe house a secret door, also coated with Earth Crystal Liquid, unnecessary for him to visit unless needed.
Many safe houses were dealt with in the same manner.
This tunnel, ending in the habitat of Swamp-Frogs, originally housed the Frog Machine.
With it acting as a guiding light.
Even underground, Lin Suo did not lose his direction; if this route can be achieved, it will solve many current problems Lin Suo faces.
Estimating the distance, it would take at most half a month.
Sighing deeply, Lin Suo punctually ends his work for the day.
Today is another day to watch a play at the theater.
After a good wash, he headed towards the Upper City.
Theater, third row, first seat on the right, Lin Suo had just sat down when Reynolds, whom he hadn’t seen for a long while, arrived late.
Seeing his smiling face and ruddy complexion, it was clear he had reaped benefits.
No sooner had the old man sat down, he began to brag, but he did not mention specifics about how much he sold.
Lin Suo was prepared, so he wasn’t disappointed.
Listening to Reynolds for a long time,
Lin Suo couldn’t help interrupting.
"So, sir, did you make a deal with the High Elf Clan?"
"Of course, what about it?"
Lin Suo shook his head, not mentioning his relationship with Valia.
If his involvement led her to suffer a significant loss, he wouldn’t feel right about it—the Nature Language family did not favor him due to historical reasons.
He never bothered him, and from beginning to end, he had the upper hand, so it was unreasonable to harm others.
Valia still helped him so much; that was a favor, sooner or later to be returned.
Lin Suo’s Moon God Talisman was made to look exactly like the real one, except for the incorrect information recorded, it was indistinguishable.
Not managing to scam the intended target, at last, gave his small conscience some comfort.
"Rhein, tell me, what reward do you want?"
Lin Suo’s eyes flicked; forget about Magic Stones, the essential thing is still knowledge, the current witchcraft is completely sufficient.
