If someone were to ask now, "What is money?"
Qiao Sang would answer, "Money? It’s just numbers."
From the inside out, and from the spirit to the wallet, Qiao Sang had never felt so refreshed.
This is probably the difference between getting rich overnight and working hard to become a wealthy man; there’s no pain in spending money.
"Let’s go buy some potions," Qiao Sang said.
As the saying goes, spending money promotes growth. Previously there wasn’t a chance, but now Qiao Sang decided to experience it properly.
"Okay..." Ye Xiangting was still in a daze.
There are many potion shops on Wen Dan Street.
There’s a strong market demand for potions in the industry, among which substandard potions or fakes would inevitably be mixed in, making the appraisal certificates from well-known appraisers particularly important.
In potion brands with renowned appraisers and pharmacists, Yuan Xue’s sales volume and popularity consistently rank in the top five globally.
If you’re going to buy, buy the best.
When Qiao Sang entered the Yuan Xue potion shop, it was very quiet with hardly any people.
Although Yuan Xue’s sales volume ranks in the top five in the country, its prices also far exceed those of other potion brands.
In other words, Yuan Xue is the luxury brand among potion brands.
Their target customers mostly use member services.
As for walk-in customers, after taking a look and inquiring about the prices, most leave of their own accord within a minute.
When someone came in, the employees inside who were chatting quickly glanced over and made their judgments:
A woman bringing her daughter for a casual stroll might make a purchase, but only around ten thousand yuan at most, with no potential to become a regular customer.
The veteran employees remained unmoved, while a relatively new employee took the initiative to approach.
"Miss, what kind of potion would you like to buy?" the staff member asked with a smile.
Although she also didn’t think the two who had come in would buy anything, it was still necessary to ask symbolically.
If they were just browsing customers, they would typically say they were just looking around, and then she wouldn’t be needed any further.
Ye Xiangting muttered, "Ask my daughter, she’s buying."
The staff member maintained her smile and turned her gaze toward the girl with a ponytail standing beside her.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Sang said, "Could you introduce me to potions suitable for Fire Attribute Beasts, Psychic Series, Spectral Series, Water-type, Ice-Type, and Flight Type Pet Beasts?"
The staff member was taken aback, "Of course."
They’re not afraid of customers with high demands, but of customers with no demands at all.
Based on her limited experience serving customers, those walk-in customers who have specific requests are over 70% likely to actually buy something.
With this in mind, the staff member became more enthusiastic.
She walked to the central glass display case and pointed to a bottle of red potion inside, saying, "This is a Speed Fire Potion, which can improve a pet beast’s efficiency in absorbing Fire Element energy. This bottle is graded as B, the effects are mild, very suitable for Fire Attribute Beasts below General-level."
"And this," the employee pointed to a transparent potion next to it, saying:
"Breakthrough Potion, after drinking it, the pet beast will fall into an illusion, experiencing the feeling of breaking through evolution. It has amazing effects in helping Emperor Level and below beasts to break through their limits; this bottle’s grade is also B."
Having said that, she began to introduce the bottle next to it:
Qiao Sang looked at the glass display case, which had reverted to normal, for quite a while without speaking.
Seeing this, the staff member thought the second-to-last sentence in the video had made the other party hesitant, so he said:
"Although you need to drink nine bottles of the Nine Ice Potion for it to be effective, you can purchase them one at a time. This potion only needs to be consumed once every week."
After speaking at length and seeing the young girl in front of him remained silent, the staff member suddenly felt like the deal was slipping away.
Goodness, this couldn’t be one of those 30% of walk-in customers who ask questions but don’t buy anything...
As the staff member was getting ready to make another effort, introducing some more affordably priced potions, he heard the young girl in front of him ask, "Do you have an introduction video for each of your potions?"
The staff member was taken aback and then nodded, "Yes, we do for each one."
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and then said, "Then pack up all the potions in the store that are suitable for Fire Element, Psychic Series, Spectral Series, Water-type, Ice-Type, and Flight-type Pet Beasts, all identified as S-rank or higher, and give me a copy of the introduction video for each potion as well."
The store was rather empty, quiet enough that Qiao Sang’s words were clearly heard by all the staff members.
The collective staff were stunned.
The attending staff member was completely flabbergasted, utterly unprepared for this situation; it was like a wild Dragon-type Pet Beast suddenly saying to her: ’I feel a connection with you; I want to make a contract with you.’
It was nearly that shocking.
The staff member couldn’t help but look towards the woman beside him, who had been silent the whole time, with an expression that read "Is this for real?"
Stay calm, stay calm. A child’s word doesn’t count; an adult should make these decisions...
Stay calm, stay calm. With the unlimited card now, this amount of money is nothing...After a brief silence, Ye Xiangting recalled the domineering CEO dramas she had seen when younger and said, "Since my daughter has said so, then pack everything up."
All the staff: "!!!"
ps: Buying potions is essential, but the word count is too low, making the story progress slowly... Definitely not padding the word count.
