An owl carrying a letter slowly flew into a tavern called Hearthstone.
It came to the bar at the very back of the tavern and placed the letter on the counter.
Joshua picked up the letter from the bar and began reading it.
Five days had passed since the release of Beauty and the Demon, and the film's terrifying money-making power had gradually begun to show itself.
On the first day, the White Thorn Flower Theater's share for Joshua could still fit into two large chests. By the second day, White Thorn Flower Jazz could only find a separate room to store the pile of gold coins that had nearly become a mountain.
Looking at that scene, Joshua felt that even a dragon sprawled atop that mountain of gold would not have seemed out of place.
On the third day, the playwright, who had little business sense, finally got smarter and directly opened a Savings Bank account for Joshua.
The Savings Bank was the prototype of this world's banks. Nolan's magical industrial revolution had thoroughly stimulated economic growth. Once some major capitalists realized they had so much money that their homes could no longer hold it, things like Savings Banks naturally came into existence.
As for exactly how much he had earned over those five days, Joshua had no time to count it for now. He had simply invested it all into this Hearthstone tavern and the development of the game Hearthstone.
With Joshua's financial support, Ma Linna had completed the tavern's renovations in just five days.
In truth, the first floor of the building had already been renovated. Its decor was suitable enough for a shop to serve as a tavern. Ma Linna only needed to settle the alcohol suppliers, tables and chairs, and the kitchen behind the tavern.
