Chapter 0005: Learning to Open Portals

Another company is registered in Ireland, called the Ireland Import and Export Company

My mind entered the system, thinking that I want to learn about portals

William was puzzled, wondering how this could be the case, as he had not practiced in recent days, yet his mental strength had increased on its own

Not long after, Robert arrived at William's dormitory and knocked on the door. After William invited Robert in, he directly asked: "Robert, can you help me draft a few legal documents? Of course, I will pay you for your services"

He still wanted to live a normal life and could not let anyone know that he possessed magic. In this world, there was no news indicating the existence of magic, and he certainly did not want to be captured by the authorities and treated as a monster for research, possibly even subjected to dissection

"Then it's settled, William," Robert said happily as he clapped his hands with William

Who knows who is on the other side of the door, and who else can see it? After practicing dozens of times, William gradually felt that his mental power could pinpoint the location of the bathroom in his dormitory. Suddenly, the magic circle in his hand opened, and William could see everything in his bathroom through the magic door from the side of his bed.

This means that his mental strength has increased by ten to twenty times

William laughed and said, "No problem, Robert. Once I send it out, I will definitely look for you to be my personal lawyer"

William said: "In the past two days, I followed your advice and registered a company, one called Devonshire Industrial Company, registered in England, and another called Ireland Import and Export Company, registered in Ireland. I need your assistance in drafting several contracts. I will transfer the copyright of Plants vs. Zombies to Devonshire Company and then authorize Ireland Import and Export Company to sell each copy of the Plants vs. Zombies game disc for 1 pound."

Robert looked at William strangely; this guy had changed a lot recently. In his impression, William had never discussed any legal matters with him before. He asked, "Buddy, you really study computer science, not from our law school? How do you know to evade taxes like this? If the funds don't go into an Irish bank, Ireland won't collect your taxes. That's a clever idea, William." As soon as Robert finished speaking, he realized that William was trying to evade taxes.

On that day, William sought the services of a company that specializes in assisting individuals with company registration. Upon the reminder of the agents at the registration company, William registered two companies

Companies in England only guarantee a profit of around 10%, and in addition, they have to pay salaries to employees in England. Therefore, on paper, these large enterprises are operating at a loss every year in England. Losses are not subject to taxation, and they can also benefit from the tax refund policies of the English government

After Robert helped William with the authorization contract, William took out a box containing 50 discs and apologetically said to Robert: "You know my current situation, I can only offer you this as compensation. The box contains 50 game discs, and when I have money, I will treat you to a grand meal"

The English authorities are still unable to collect payments from them and must also refund taxes to Apple and Starbucks

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, William immersed himself in a magical meditation, his mind entering a state of deep contemplation. Chen Mo discovered that the mental power within his mind had increased significantly.

Fifteen days ago, if his mental strength was the size of a sesame seed, it can now be compared to that of a peanut.

William believes he should learn from these large corporations, as the entire world is engaging in legal tax avoidance; as long as it is permitted by law, it is not a crime. Even the English royal family is avoiding taxes, and William would not be foolish enough to pay so much in taxes

Once I learn the portal, no one will be able to catch me. That's right, I will first learn the portal magic, a superb skill for escaping and assassination.

"How could there be any trouble? What trouble could there be? You are not the only one doing this; many companies in England are doing the same," Robert said with a serious expression.

William knew that Robert was joking, a graduate of the University of London, who could go to his little bag company that didn't even have a single subordinate yet

A company registered in England called Devonshire Industries, yes, that is his surname, hopes that his company can become a pillar enterprise of the nation like Stark Industries

Finding motivation, William closed the window and drew the curtains, focusing entirely on cultivating the portal.

William felt the magical knowledge and spells in his mind, realizing that as long as his mental strength could master this magic, and he could comprehend and understand it, he would be able to learn any level of magic without any restrictions on difficulty levels

Robert asked in confusion, "What legal document?"

Tax avoidance is something that all companies around the world strive to achieve, as it is permitted by law

It is so hot, and I am feeling a bit oxygen-deprived. William stopped the spell and quickly pushed open the window to take a couple of breaths of fresh air. Leaning on the window, I pondered how I could use magic without being discovered.

"Alright, no problem. William, you are about to become successful, and I need to please you so that I can intern at your company in the future. You will be a wealthy person, and us law students are just here to serve the wealthy," Robert joked.

If you have the capability, you could earn hundreds of millions or even billions of pounds in England each year like Apple and Starbucks, without having to pay a single penny to the English government

Standing in the bathroom, William looked at his hands and the items in the bathroom: "Wow, this is truly amazing, having cheats is so enjoyable, have I learned this already?"

After being busy for half a month, William suddenly found himself with nothing to do, which left him feeling somewhat dispirited

The data indicates a loss, yet in reality, these companies are earning more money than their revenue. Apple has over one hundred billion U.S. dollars held outside of the United States, and it chooses not to repatriate this money. As long as the funds do not return to the United States, this amount is exempt from taxation

William raised his hand, and a flame slowly appeared in the palm of his right hand. With a wave of his hand, the flame transformed into a ring of fire with a diameter of half a meter. It was not until after more than ten minutes that William began to feel a slight fatigue. Just a few days ago, when he was still a low-level magician, he could only maintain such a magical flame for less than 1 minute before becoming mentally exhausted. Now, after sustaining it for more than ten minutes, he felt only a little tired, and continuing for another fifteen minutes would not pose any problem.

Call Robert Carter and ask him to come to the dormitory, as William needs his assistance with some contract matters

Why? It is precisely because these companies have identified tax loopholes in the English government that they have placed the majority of their profitable business transactions with companies registered in Ireland and the Netherlands

It did not take long for him to draw the magical circle for the teleportation in the dormitory, and he set the destination for the teleportation in the bathroom of his own dormitory, as he did not dare to set the teleportation point in any other location

Is this the basic level of mental power? This counts as a system benefit, doesn't it? It seems that this system is somewhat useful. So, in the future, I won't have to endure the daily grind of meditating to cultivate my mental power; I won't have to do anything, and my mental power will increase on its own? Is this a benefit that grants a soul strength many times greater than that of an ordinary person? Or is it because of the system?

Since both companies are registered within the island of England, William obtained the operating licenses for the two companies the next day

Who can catch me after this, it is an essential skill for escaping and traveling

Moreover, there is no need to borrow power from any dimensional deities; the system provides it directly to you

William felt a sense of amusement in his heart; this is still the simplest method of tax avoidance. If you were to know Apple's method of tax avoidance, you would be even more astonished

The magical knowledge of portals is entirely imprinted in William's mind. William is learning the techniques transmitted by the system bit by bit. Perhaps due to his nature as a soul traveler, he has a particular affinity for spatial magic

I also look at some information when I have free time, and I am aware of reasonable tax avoidance. Will Robert encounter legal issues by signing the contract this way

I am still meditating. For the past half month, William has not practiced magic much. He has not yet figured out how to use magic safely and discreetly in reality, mainly because he is afraid of exposing the fact that he can use magic

William became so excited that he didn't even consider whether it would be dangerous; he took a step and crossed through the portal into the restroom

If the egg could have Mystique's shapeshifting ability, it could transform into any other appearance, even mimicking fingerprints. This way, even if someone discovered it, they would not associate it with itself

On the morning of the third day, William directly signed a contract with the Irish company and the manufacturer for 5,000 discs. After completing the payment, William had all the discs delivered to the dormitory

At that moment, a voice echoed in my mind, "Ding, the host's mental power has reached the beginner level, allowing for the self-directed learning of any magic." After saying this, the system fell silent.

The two men joked during the meeting, and after discussing some details, Robert left. William then began calling other alumni who had paid to arrange the handover of the game discs in his dormitory. William spent the entire day waiting in his dorm for everyone to come and collect the game discs. After seeing off the last alumnus, he finished dinner and lay on his bed, momentarily unsure of what to do next
