However, this magical incense is really expensive, and one stick costs hundreds of gold coins。

  Even the magicians would find a secret room to use it in order to make it work best.

  Hey, someone actually burns this kind of incense in such a large forest?

  How rich must this person be to waste it so much!

  Not long after walking, the financial minister of the college, von Kasmer, suddenly discovered that the gauze lanterns hanging on the trees were burning fish oil!

  Fish oil is a transparent oil extracted from fish. It has a fishy smell when it is not burned, but it has a faint fragrance when it is burned. It is particularly bright and does not smoke.

  Such a good thing is not cheap. 500 ml costs 10 gold coins, which ordinary people cannot afford.

  Although fish oil is very durable and can burn for a long time with just a little bit, it is also very luxurious.

  However, they saw at least dozens of gauze lanterns along the way.

  If all these lamps are burning with fish-man oil...

  Finance Minister von Kasmer kept muttering to himself, are they going to meet some big shot?

  Maybe the atmosphere in the woods was too quiet, coupled with the low-key luxury brought by the incense and fish-man oil, the three of them unconsciously quieted down and became cautious.

  Not far away, they saw the meeting place.

  Under a strange crooked tree, there was a bunch of purple lavender, and there was a simple round table next to it.

  A young man with black hair and black eyes was sitting at the table, concentrating on reading a very thick old book.

  On the table in front of him, there was also a cup of hot coffee, steaming under the illumination of the gauze lamp, making him look a little mysterious.

  Next to him, there were ten girls in purple long skirts, standing in two rows, neither conspicuous nor ignored.

  They lowered their heads, like elves in the dark night.

  Alan, who led the way, quickened his pace, walked to the young man, bent down and said a few words to him, and then stood behind him with a girl.

  The Minister of Finance and the others stopped involuntarily, as if waiting for the master to call them, and even their breathing became cautious.

  Just when they felt something was wrong, the young man put down his book, stood up, bowed slightly to them and said, "Good evening, please sit down and try the newly arrived Nusaki coffee. I believe you will like it."

  The three of them looked at each other and sat down a little stiffly.

  The girls hiding in the dark began to get busy. Some took out hot pottery pots from behind the bushes, and some began to grind coffee beans.

  Soon, three cups of fragrant coffee were placed in front of them.

  Then, the girls quietly returned to the darkness, as if they had never appeared.

  Picking up the coffee, Jia Lan smiled and gestured to the three people, took a sip lightly, and looked very satisfied.

  The three people then remembered the purpose of their visit. When asked by Jia Lan, they were a little at a loss.

  In fact, they were envious of the library book bar because they saw that it made a lot of money in just a few days.

  This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

  They instigated the two supervisors of the management office and the teaching office to come to Jia Lan together, hoping to grab the management rights of the book bar so that they could have a share of the pie.

  The management of [Komo University] is actually divided into two parts: the inside and the outside.

  The inside part includes:

  The [Department of Management] composed of the deans of each branch;

  The [Tutor Supervision Association] composed of the most powerful magic professors of each department;

  And the [Student Union] composed of good student representatives selected by each subject.

  These three levels of management are mainly responsible for educating students and handling things in the school.

  The outside management is the outside people invited by the school, who are responsible for the operation and management of the school.

  In terms of status, the inside and outside management are in a superior-subordinate relationship.

  Those outsiders cannot interfere with the decisions of the [Department of Administration] and the [Tutor Supervision Association]. Even for the activities organized by the [Student Union], they can only help but cannot directly manage them.

  Moreover, the behavior of these outsiders will be supervised by students and teachers.

  However, the daily management of the school, such as how to operate, how to develop, how to contact the outside world, etc., are all their responsibility.

  It can be said that this management is a kind of cooperation between the school's top management and the big forces outside [Kolan City].

  The school does not allow outsiders to manage the affairs inside, but allows them to get some benefits from the school at the cost of helping the school.

  After all, magicians cannot completely ignore secular affairs, and secular power is needed in many places.

  Moreover, those troublesome management tasks take a lot of time and energy, and no magician is willing to do them.

  Therefore, when someone is willing to do these jobs, the school's top management is happy to hand them over to them.

  This leads to a middle layer in the school management that cannot manage school decisions but has the right to manage.

  The "benefits" of having someone in the family manage [KoMo University] are obvious.

  Just getting some magic items and techniques from the school's magicians is enough to make the big forces in [KoLan City] fight over them.

  Therefore, the management positions of [KoMo University] have always been an important position that the big forces and families in [KoLan City] compete for.

  The market, restaurant and other places in the school are also the management rights that the big families have fought for themselves by using their power.

  Just think about it, a school with more than 400,000 people is about the same size as a small or medium-sized city.

  Students are not allowed to go out casually, so a closed living circle is formed here.

  The benefits of meeting the living needs of so many people can be imagined.

  The best thing is that [Como University] has a higher status in [Kolan City] than [Kolan Citizens Association].

  Not only is the school not controlled by [Kolan Citizens Association], but even various businesses in the school do not have to pay taxes to [Kolan Citizens Association]!

  For the forces and families in [Kolan City], the market in the school is a very big piece of fat.

  Whoever can get the management and operation rights is equivalent to getting tax-free benefits. How can they not fight for it?

  However, no one expected that under their noses, the originally simple and deserted school library suddenly had a "book bar" operated by the library itself.

  At first, everyone thought that it was just a temporary adjustment made by the new librarian to repair the library, and the reading area was placed outside the library.

  However, the managers soon discovered that a group of freshmen working in the library actually provided food and drinks to readers in the book bar, which was nothing special.

  However, when they knew how much the things in the book bar were sold for and estimated how many people consumed in the book bar, they were shocked!

  Although the major families and forces made a lot of money in the market and operated in various branches of the school, they always felt that it was not enough after the distribution.

  Because the business in the school does not have to pay 10％-25％ business tax to the [Colombian Civil Affairs Committee], the profit margin is very large, so they can only continuously improve the quality of the business premises, lower prices, and attract students from other branches to consume.

  However, under such fierce competition, the market potential and profit margin have been almost dug up.

  Originally, everyone was guarding their own territory, and there was nothing to say about competing in strength.

  But at this time, the library book bar that suddenly appeared quietly broke into the student market, severely squeezed their living space, and caused the business of each family to fall to the lowest point in history.

  How could the forces behind the managers not be angry?

  You know, [Como University] has many branches and departments, but only one big library.

  No matter which branch or department, students will definitely go to the library to borrow books.

  Originally, the library had a bad environment and was located in a remote area, so not many students stayed there, and they would go back to their colleges to eat.

  But now, the library book bar provides meals for students who borrow books.

  Although the food provided is far less rich and delicious than the school cafeteria, many students are too lazy to go back to the college to eat, so they eat on the spot.

  This has touched almost everyone's big cake!
