Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 362: Krypton gold makes people grow
If someone were to ask now, “What is money?”
Qiao Sang would answer him, “Money? Just numbers.”
From the inside out, from her spirit to her wallet, Qiao Sang had never felt so refreshed.
This was probably the difference between getting rich overnight and working hard to become wealthy; spending money didn’t hurt at all.
“Let’s go buy some potions,” Qiao Sang said.
As the saying goes, ‘paying to win’ makes people grow. She didn’t have the chance before, but now Qiao Sang decided to experience it properly.
“Okay…” Ye Xiangting was still in a daze.
There were many apothecaries on Wendan Street.
The market demand for potions was strong, and it was inevitable that inferior or fake potions would be mixed in. At such times, appraisal certificates given by famous appraisers were particularly important.
Among potion brands with famous appraisers and pharmacists, Yuanxue’s sales and popularity consistently ranked among the top five globally.
If she was going to buy, she would buy the best.
When Qiao Sang entered the Yuanxue Apothecary, it was very quiet inside, with almost no one.
Although Yuanxue’s sales consistently ranked among the top five nationally, its prices were also significantly higher than other potion brands.
In other words, Yuanxue was the luxury brand among potions.
Their target customers mostly used a membership service.
As for walk-in customers, after taking a look and asking about prices, most would leave on their own accord within a minute.
Seeing someone enter, the Staff who were chatting inside quickly glanced over and immediately made a judgment:
A woman bringing her daughter to browse, she might buy something, but it would only be around ten thousand yuan, with no possibility of becoming a regular customer.
The old Staff remained motionless, while a new Staff member, who hadn’t been there long, proactively walked over.
“Miss, what kind of potion effect are you looking for?” the Staff asked with a smile.
Although she didn’t think the two visitors would buy anything, it was still necessary to ask symbolically.
For walk-in customers, they usually just say they are just looking around, and then she wouldn’t be needed.
Ye Xiangting murmured, “Ask my daughter, she’s buying.”
The Staff maintained her smile and looked at the young girl with a ponytail standing beside her.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “Could you introduce all the potions suitable for Fire-type, Superpower System, Ghost-type, Water-type, Ice, and Flying-type Pets?”
The Staff was stunned for a moment: “Certainly.”
She wasn’t afraid of demanding customers, only customers with no demands.
Based on her limited experience in serving customers, over 70% of walk-in customers who made specific requests actually bought something.
Thinking of this, the Staff became more enthusiastic.
She came to the central glass display cabinet, pointed to a bottle of red potion inside, and said, “This is Rapid Fire Potion. It can improve a Pet’s efficiency in absorbing Fire-type energy. This bottle is appraised as Grade B, with a mild effect, very suitable for Fire-type Pets below General-level.”
“And this.” The Staff pointed to a bottle of transparent potion next to it and said:
“Creation Break Potion. After drinking it, the Pet will fall into an illusion, experiencing the feeling of breaking through and evolving. It has a miraculous effect on helping Pets below Emperor-level break through their realms. This bottle is also Grade B.”
After speaking, she pointed to the potions on the side and began to introduce them:
“Nine Ice Potion. This is a brand new potion we recently developed, very suitable for Ice Pets.”
“Under the same grade and skill proficiency, a Pet that has consumed this potion will have much stronger Ice skills.”
This time, while introducing, the Staff swiped and tapped on the glass above the Nine Ice Potion, and a video instantly appeared above the glass display cabinet.
In the video, two Ice Powder Jasmines were on opposite sides of the field.
A woman with exquisite makeup, appearing to be in her thirties, appeared in the video and introduced the two Ice Powder Jasmines on the field:
“Everyone, these two Ice Powder Jasmines have been selected by us through various criteria. They have the same body shape, the same age, and all know the same skills.”
“The only difference is that the Ice Powder Jasmine on the left has drunk our Yuanxue’s Nine Ice Potion.”
As she spoke, the camera focused on the Ice Powder Jasmine on the left.
“Ice Powder!” The Ice Powder Jasmine flapped its wings and cried out, indicating that was correct.
“Seeing is believing. Let’s show everyone the difference in Ice skill performance between the two Ice Powder Jasmines with the same proficiency.”
As soon as her voice fell, the two Ice Powder Jasmines flapped their wings at each other, unleashing Icy Wind.
The Icy Wind unleashed by the Ice Powder Jasmine on the left was clearly stronger than the one on the right, directly freezing half of the right Ice Powder Jasmine’s wing completely.
“Did everyone see that? This is the power of Nine Ice Potion!” The woman in the video returned to the camera and enthusiastically introduced:
“You should know, the Icy Wind proficiency of both these Ice Powder Jasmines is at minor mastery, yet the difference in power is so great!”
“This is the miraculous effect of our Nine Ice Potion!”
“As long as you drink nine bottles, becoming the king among Pets of the same attribute will no longer be a dream!”
“We use real cases to tell everyone: Nine Ice Potion! The perfect choice for Ice Pets!”
At this point, the video ended.
Qiao Sang looked at the glass display cabinet, which had returned to its original state, for a long time without speaking.
The Staff, seeing this, thought that the second to last sentence in the video made the other party hesitate, so she said:
“Although the Nine Ice Potion only works after drinking nine bottles, you can buy them one by one. This potion only needs to be drunk once a week.”
After talking for a long time, the young girl in front of her still hadn’t spoken, and the Staff immediately felt that this sale was in doubt.
Good heavens, could this be one of those 30% of walk-in customers who ask for requests but don’t buy anything?
Just as the Staff was preparing to try harder and introduce some relatively cheaper potions, she heard the young girl in front of her ask, “Do all your potions have introduction videos?”
The Staff was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, “Yes, all of our products do.”
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “Then please pack all the potions in the store suitable for Fire-type, Superpower System, Ghost-type, Water-type, Ice, and Flying-type Pets, that are appraised as S-grade and above, for me. Also, give me a copy of the introduction video for each potion.”
There were few people in the store, and the environment was quiet enough, so Qiao Sang’s words were heard by all the Staff members, not missing a single word.
They were collectively stunned.
The Staff who was serving them was even more completely bewildered, completely unprepared. This feeling was like, one day a wild Dragon-type Pet suddenly came to her and said, “We are fated, and I want to form a contract with you.”
It was pretty much that kind of impact.
The Staff couldn’t help but show a “really?” expression as she looked at the woman who had been mostly silent beside her.
Calm down, calm down, what a child says doesn’t count, the adult should make the decision for this kind of thing.
Calm down, calm down, I have an unlimited card now, this amount of money is nothing. Ye Xiangting was silent for a moment, then remembered the domineering CEO dramas she watched when she was young, and said, “Since my daughter has said so, then pack them all up.”
All Staff: “!!!”
PS: This section about buying potions is necessary, but if the word count is too low, the plot will seem slow, absolutely no filler.
