207 Chapter 207 - Discoun
“These are the records for the Hearthstone Tavern’s latest revenue and expenses.”
Mrs. Melina handed the ledger to Joshua. Joshua opened the ledger and flipped over a couple pages.
Since the Hearthstone Tavern opened till now, all the income and expenses of the tavern has been recorded on the ledger. At the end of every month, they will be summed up.
Mrs. Melina financial management was excellent. After all, this old lady had saved a business in dire straits all on her own.
The total amount of card packs sold in the month was recorded on the originium lizard server.
Due to the fact that the Hearthstone Tavern has tripled in size and the amount of arcanotech devices containing the Hearthstone game increased a lot, that originium lizard gained two new companions.
That said, even with a greater number of them, their idle nature caused them to be hibernating with closed eyes on the regular.
Joshua verified the amount of profit from the card packs with the amount of card packs sold. He confirmed that there were no mistakes.
“It’s not… slave trade, right?”
The first thing that popped up in Joshua’s mind was the slave market from the medieval times.
“I’m old now. My memories aren’t that good anymore. But, I believe that slave trade has been banned tens of years ago. Perhaps that’s something that exist in other countries but it is absolutely prohibited in Norland,” said Mrs. Melina.
“The world’s most prosperous city… right?”
Joshua cannot describe this city as being medieval. The arcanotech workshops across the Gear River have been in operation for over fifty years. The arcanotech devices produced by them were already showing early signs of modern technologies.
Take…’automobile’ for example. Joshua has seen a ‘car’ propelled by magic power passing by on the street not long ago. Many mages were attracted by that ‘car’ and stopped to check it out. Joshua believed that it would soon replace the carriages.
The First Industrial Revolution was already happening in Norland. With magic power as the catalysis, the gates to the Second Industrial Revolution were being opened.
As for Joshua, he pried open the gates to the Information Age for the citizens of Norland ahead of schedule.

“Mrs. Melina, the next time you go out to hire new servers, please bring me with you.”
Even if the price of the card packs were to be deemed as a single gold coin, many customers would still complain about it being too expensive.
This was especially true for a certain impoverished inquisitor and online author, Cheryl. She would frequently post on the Mage Forum that she was so impoverished recently and would have to eat clay to survive. She would also make posts begging for charity people to give her 328 gold coins so she could enjoy a proper meal. Furthermore, she would mention she had no idea about any Hearthstone expansion card packs or Goblins vs Gnomes.
The expensive nature of the card packs led to the Hearthstone cards to be very expensive too. Currently, the most expensive card being traded in the Hearthstone Tavern was a Golden Ragnaros. It was listed with a price of four thousand gold coins. That was enough money to purchase an outstanding quality staff.
To the dwarves, rich fellows that made their fortune from extracting originium crystals, a single gold coin was something that they would not even bother to blink their eyes at. But, to some impoverished commoners or mages, a single gold coin was enough to feed them for an entire week.
Even though Joshua had set up a mission in the system where one will be able to obtain a new card pack every day by winning three matches, the majority of the players were still complaining about the price of the card packs. After the new expansion went live, this sort of complaints started appearing on the Mage Forum more frequently.
“Mister Joshua, I don’t believe that you need to decrease the price,” said Mrs. Melina.
Even though decreasing the price will satisfy the impoverished players, Hearthstone’s biggest customers, the whales, were the wealthy mages and dwarves. If they were to decrease the price, it will cause a psychological disequilibrium in the hearts of the players that had purchased a large amount of card packs already.
“While we shouldn’t decrease the price, we can do discount sales,” said Joshua.
