In the early morning, an elderly figure appeared in front of the cemetery outside Luoye Town. The man was carrying a bucket and walked very fast, but his pace was not heavy. Even when he stepped on the dead leaves on the ground, he did not make any sound.

If Phil was here, he could recognize it from this familiar back alone. The old man carrying the bucket was Old Harry.

Old Harry walked into the cemetery, came to one of the tombstones, took out a rag from the bucket, carefully wiped the tombstone, and said to the tombstone: "Master, I'm here to see you again. Let me tell you good news, the young master's injury has healed!"

"Since the young master's injury healed, he seemed to have completely changed. He no longer indulged in those illusory alchemy, but began to seriously manage the family's industry. Although the family industry is only one bar and the business is getting worse and worse, the young master still lets our bar come back to life."

"The young master is really smart. He also invented a game called billiards and sold it to other bars. This game looks simple, but it is very popular. The young master has earned hundreds of gold coins by selling the billiards table."

"Not long ago, the young master was still a playboy who was ignorant and knew how to squander. He even almost died in the intermediate magician exam. However, the young master is so mature and rational. If he hadn't watched the young master grow up since childhood, I would have thought that this person was not the young master." When Old Harry said this, the rag on his finger suddenly stopped. Then he looked around vigilantly. After finding that there was no one, he continued: "Master, the young master's changes are really too big. I think this may be the will of God!"

Old Harry stopped his words again, and he subconsciously looked at the sky, as if looking up at the gods in the sky.

...

It was already dark, but the lights were still brightly lit in Phil's billiards workshop, and more than a dozen carpenters were working overtime.

Phil took a bag of silver coins and was still on the table. The sound of silver coins falling to the ground immediately attracted the attention of the carpenters.

"This batch of pool tables will be shipped to the royal city tomorrow. Please help everyone work harder! My boss will not let you do it in vain. These are your overtime pay today!" Phil said as he opened his pocket, and the silver coins inside reflected a white light under the lights.

"It's silver coins!" The carpenters showed greedy eyes. It was naturally much better than copper coins to receive silver coins as overtime pay, so everyone was eager to get the overtime pay.

"Master, this is the order I received today. They have all paid in advance." Harry handed the account book to Phil.

Phil glanced at him and saw Yadak's name.

"Is this the stingy Yadak?" Phil asked.

"Yes, that guy." Old Harry nodded.

"I didn't expect that even Yadak came to us to order a pool table. It was not easy to get this guy to pay for it." Phil said casually.

"I heard from my colleagues that Yadak's business was stolen by West Bank Town next door, so he had no choice but to come to us to buy a pool table. Moreover, this guy is still as stingy as before, and he wants to take credit first!" Old Harry said with a smile.

"The billiard table is in short supply now, so Yadak still wants to pay on credit? His bar is called Iron Eagle, I think it's called Iron Rooster Bar. But even if Iron Rooster comes to us, I have to pull out a few hairs!" Phil couldn't help but complain, and then continued, "Harry, I need some things, you can help me purchase tomorrow!"

After Phil finished speaking, he took out a piece of parchment from his arms and handed it to Old Harry.

Old Harry opened the parchment paper and looked carefully, but his brows frowned: "Young Master, these are all alchemy materials, aren't they?"

"Yes, I'm going to do some experiments," Phil said.

"Young Master, we have just made some money. Do you want to invest in alchemy again? Alchemy is a bottomless pit. Even if we have thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins, we can't stand the troubles of alchemy." Old Harry advised.

When Old Harry went to visit the grave in the morning, he was still relieved that Phil had turned aside from alchemy and was far from alchemy. However, he did not expect that he would be slapped in the face by reality in less than 24 hours. Old Harry suddenly looked like he was crying and tears were gone.

"Harry, don't worry, I'm just verifying the previous experiment. I'm not really going to make gold. Believe me, it's very important for our future." Phil said with a sincere face.

"Okay, you are the young master, you have the final say." Old Harry did not go against Phil's will after all.

...

The Royal City is the capital of the Eternal Kingdom and the largest city in this country. Compared with the Luoye Town, the entertainment life of the Royal City is of course much richer. In addition to bars, there are also casinos, brothels and other places for singing and romance. The Royal City also has several magic arenas to enjoy the battle between magicians.

However, casinos and brothels are both gold-selling caves, and the consumption is much higher than that of bars. Ordinary residents cannot go gamble or find young ladies every day. Magicians do not have magicians duels in the magic arena every day, so the bar is still the most common entertainment place for the general public.

Peter was once a well-known bartender in the Royal City Bar. With his hard work, many bars in Royal City bought billiard tables. The billiards sport gradually emerged in Royal City and became a popular fashion game.

Jinzhang Bar is the most luxurious bar in the royal city. The bar is decorated in magnificently. The consumption here is much higher than that of ordinary bars. Rich people come here to have fun. Many businessmen will also use Jinzhang Bar as a place to negotiate business.

As night fell, beautiful carriages appeared one after another at the entrance of the Golden Chan Bar. The gorgeously dressed guests got off the carriage and were warmly invited into the bar by the doorman.

Another carriage stopped and several people walked out of the carriage. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a purple robe sewn with gold thread, and holding a charming beauty in his arms.

The price of gold thread is naturally expensive, and purple dye is much more expensive than other dyes, so the gold thread and purple robe also symbolizes that this is a rich man. As for the charming beauty, it is the exclusive toy for rich people.

"President Horton, it's been a long time since you've not been here for a month!" The doorman recognized the identity of the middle-aged rich man and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

The President Holden just nodded slightly, then walked into the bar with the beauty in his arms.

When President Horton passed by the bar hall, the two pool tables placed in the hall caught his attention.

"What is that?" President Horton asked.

"This is billiards, an emerging game." The waiter replied immediately.

"There are new games, take me to see." President Horton walked up and began to watch other guests play billiards.

After a moment, President Horton roughly understood the rules of billiards.

"It's interesting. I haven't been here for more than a month. Your boss actually made this kind of game. It's really amazing!" President Holden praised.

"Actually, this was not what our boss thought of. We also bought this billiard from another place." The waiter continued.

"Let me tell me in detail." President Horton said, giving a wink to the servant beside him. The servant immediately took out a silver coin and threw it to the waiter as a tip for inquiries.

The waiter was overjoyed and immediately introduced: "This billiards was brought by a man named Peter. Peter used to be a bartender in the Royal City. Later, he went to a small town to open a bar by himself. Two months ago, Peter returned to the Royal City and promoted this billiards in various bars, saying that billiards can help the bar attract customers, and they can also try it first and then buy it. As a result, the effect is really good when trying it out, and it can help the bar attract many customers. Therefore, many bar owners in the Royal City bought this thing, and our boss also saw other bars, so he bought it to try it. This thing is really fun, there are many people playing, and there are almost no time to have free time."

"So, was this billiard invented by the bartender named Peter?" President Horton continued.

"No, I heard that Peter also worked with others. That partner was the one who invented billiards. As for who Peter worked with, I don't know, I only know that it also came from that town." The waiter answered.

"Okay, you go down." President Horton waved his hand, sent the waiter away, and said to the servant beside him: "You go and investigate the billiards, and the bartender named Peter. If he is still in the royal city, I want to meet him."

"President, are you interested in this business?" the servant asked in a low voice.

President Horton nodded: "But you have to see if the other party has a background. If it is a big man with a background, I will definitely not make a fuss, but if the other party has no background, I don't mind snatching this business."

"President, this is just a very simple game, just a few balls and a table, and I guess I can't make much money. Why do you have to mobilize so many people!" the servant said.

President Horton glared at the servant disdainfully and said, "What do you know! Imagine how many bars there are in the country. Even if there are two pool tables in each bar, how many pool tables will be needed? I just saw that the tables and balls are made of wood, and the process is not complicated. A few pieces of wood can be sold out and sold for money by simply processing them. How much profit is this? I estimate that the profit brought by billiards is enough to double the assets of our Horton Chamber of Commerce!"

"Okay, President, I'll investigate immediately." The servant said.

President Horton then ordered: "I don't think it will take long before other chambers of commerce will notice this business. Those big chambers of commerce should not care about the profits of these tens of thousands of gold coins, but smaller chambers of commerce and chambers of commerce with similar scale as ours will definitely want to get a piece of the pie, so we must start first and let others know that this business belongs to our Horton chamber of commerce!"
