Chapter 906: A New Day for the Store(5)
pA(nd)A no ve1 “Store owner, what’s the total amount of pills you can sell?” Jacques asked.
Since the store would take the high-end market, Jacques needed to make his product’s efficiency better so he could snatch some consumers to his side. For the research, the more pills he could buy, the better for him.
“There is no limit! You bring as many customers as you can, and the store will sell the required amount to them.”
Jacques’s jaw almost dropped to the ground as he just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that things were in order here. But now that conjecture has disappeared. What the store owner said meant that there were unlimited pills available in the store.
“Even if I bring a hundred thousand customers, will you be able to sell three pills of each category to them?” Jacques couldn’t believe Aakesh, so he asked again to make sure.
“Even if you brought a billion of them, nobody would leave without product,” Aakesh replied flatly.
Aakesh could see the prospect of Jacques completing the pill quest, so he tried harder than he usually did in this conversation.
“So why do you limit sales of three pills to a single customer?” Jacques couldn’t help but ask.
Limiting the sale made sense when the supply was lower than the demand. But according to what the store owner said, the stock was unlimited. In that case, restricting the number of pill sales didn’t make any sense to Jacques at all.
“You don’t need to know that,” Aakesh replied. His tone was as indifferent as ever.
Jacques also closed his mouth, fearing further speaking would offend the store owner.
“If I need to buy more, I need to bring different people to the store,” Jacques asked after pausing for a few seconds.
Jacques had gone through a lot of mental turmoil to get here, so he wasn’t going to leave the store without having enough pills in his possession.
“Yes!” Aakesh answered immediately since it was what he was waiting for.
“Thank you, store owner! I’ll return with those people,” Jacques said as he turned to leave. He wanted to get his hands on the pills as soon as possible, so after leaving the store, he went toward his friend’s residence on Seventeenth Street.
After Jacques left, Aakesh called out the quest screen since he wanted to see just how far he was from fulfilling all the requirements.
The next moment, a blue screen containing all the details of the quest appeared in front of him. Soon after, a new smaller screen containing the progress emerged.
[Mission objective: Sell pills of every type to ten customers,
Requirement: Host, the store has successfully made the first sale of the pills. Now, its time for you to do your part and make more customers interested in the product,
Time limit: Five Days,
Mission reward: Five new types of Lesser level pills,
Failure punishment: Two of the five pill types would randomly disappear, and the sales commission would get reduced to 2.5% of the product’s price for three years.]
[Quest Progress:
Body healing pill: 8/10,
Mental healing pill: 8/10,
Soul healing pill: 8/10,
Meditation pill: 4/10,
Energy purification pill: 10/10.]
Aakesh nodded as he read the progress on the screen. Except for the meditation pill, the other requirement was that they were either close to achieving the limit or had already done it.
Even if Jacques hadn’t come, Aakesh still would have completed the quest, but the arrival of Jacques hurried the mission toward its end at least a day or two earlier than it should have originally taken.
Time flew by, and around thirty minutes later, Jacques re-entered the store with a long line of people following him.
“Don’t make the store overcrowded. Let them enter one by one!” Aakesh ordered, as in no time more than half the space inside the store had been filled with the people Jacques had brought.
The people following Jacques stopped, then turned around and began leaving the store.
Jacques was the first one to approach the store owner and request the pills. Soon after, he took the required sum out of his space ring.
“You need to pay three hundred thirty lesser Sacred stones,” Aakesh announced, ignoring the stones taken out by Jacques.
Aakesh then waved his hands, and soon the stones disappeared into the system space. The system then informed Aakesh about the correct payment. Aakesh told Jacques about the sale, and Jacques then placed the fifteen pills he had just bought in his space ring.
Jacques then called the only man waiting inside the store. The man’s steps were slightly trembling, as he was only an early Divine Transformation level cultivator. Since the man worked on Seventeenth Street, he also heard rumors regarding the non-demon store owner.
Jacques could do nothing since his condition was the same as the man’s yesterday.
“St…store owner, th…three pills pills of ea…each cat-categ-category,” The man requested the words that Jacques had taught him. His speech was slurring since standing in front of the non-demon was putting pressure on him on another level.
Aakesh was standing near the counter so he readily took three pills belonging to each category out one by one.
Time flew by, and soon more than fifty people had bought pills from the store.
“You need to pay three hundred thirty lesser Sacred stones,” Aakesh announced one last time as he returned to his chair this time. The man in front of Aakesh was the last underling Jacques had brought.
Jacques had already taken out the amount, so he pushed it toward Aakesh.
Not long after, Aakesh informed Jacques about the sale’s completion. He placed the pills in his space ring.
‘These must be enough,’ Jacques thought as he counted the number of pills he had bought today.
Including the fifty-seven underlings he brought, Jacques had 174 pills in each category. It was a great number for research. To buy these pills, Jacques had also spent more than nineteen ordinary Sacred stones, which wasn’t a trivial amount of money for anyone in Thorr City.
“Thank you, store owner,” Jacques thanked Aakesh and turned around to leave the store.
If he needed more pills, he could come here anytime, so there was no need to worry about quantity for research.
