Chapter 360: Money Makes You Grow
Chapter 360: Money Makes You Grow
If someone were to ask now, "What is money?"
Qiao Sang would answer, "Money? Just numbers."
From the inside out, from spirit to wallet, Qiao Sang had never felt so comfortable.
This was probably the difference between overnight wealth and the hard-earned fortune of a mogul; spending money now felt like nothing.
"Let's buy some potions", Qiao Sang said.
As the saying goes, money makes you grow. In the past, there was no chance, but now Qiao Sang decided to fully experience it.
"Okay..." Ye Xiangting was still in a daze.
There were quite a few potion shops on Wen Dan Street.
The potion market had a high demand, and it was inevitable that some low-quality potions or fakes would mix in. At such times, the appraisal certificates given by renowned appraisers were crucial.
Among the potion brands with renowned appraisers and potion masters, Genesis ranked in the top five globally in terms of sales and popularity.
If you were going to buy, you might as well buy the best.
When Qiao Sang entered the Genesis Potion Shop, it was very quiet, with almost no one around.
While Genesis ranked in the top five nationally in sales, its prices were significantly higher than those of other potion brands.
In other words, Genesis was the luxury brand of potion shops.
Their target customers mostly used a membership system.
Casual customers would take a quick look, ask about the prices, and leave within a minute.
Seeing someone enter, a few employees who were chatting looked over and quickly made a judgment:
A woman browsing with her daughter, who might buy something but only for a few thousand dollars, with no potential to become a regular customer.
The veteran employees remained stationary, while a new employee approached.
"Miss, what kind of potion are you looking for?" the staff member asked with a smile.
Although she didn't think the two would buy anything, it was necessary to ask as a formality.
Casual customers usually just said they were looking around, and then she wouldn't need to bother with them.
Ye Xiangting mumbled, "Ask my daughter, she's buying."
The staff member kept her smile and looked at the ponytailed girl.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Can you introduce me to potions suitable for Fire-type, Psychic-type, Ghost-type, Water-type, Ice-type, and Flying Beasts?"
The staff member was taken aback, "Of course."
She wasn't afraid of high demands from customers; she was afraid of no demands at all.
Based on her limited experience, 70% of casual customers who made specific requests would end up buying 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, "This is the Rapid Flame Potion. It can enhance the efficiency of a familiar's absorption of Fire Energy. This bottle is rated B, with a mild effect, making it very suitable for Fire-type Pet Beasts below the General Class."
"And this", the staff member pointed to a transparent potion, "is the Breakthrough Elixir. Drinking it will plunge the familiar into a hallucination, experiencing the feeling of breaking through to the next Evolution. It has a miraculous effect on helping familiars below the Imperial Tier break through their current stage. This bottle is also rated B."
After that, she pointed to another potion and continued her introduction:
"The Nine Ice Potion, a new potion we recently developed, is particularly suitable for Ice-type familiars."
"Under the same Level and Skill proficiency, familiars who take this potion will exhibit much greater power when using Ice-type Skills."
This time, as the staff member introduced the Nine Ice Potion, she swiped and tapped on the glass above it, and a video instantly appeared above the display case.
In the video, two Frost Petals stood on opposite sides of the arena.
A woman with exquisite makeup, looking to be in her thirties, appeared on the screen and began introducing the two Frost Petals in the arena:
"Ladies and gentlemen, these two Frost Petals have been carefully selected to be of the same size, age, and to possess the same Skills."
"The only difference is that the Frost Petal on the left has consumed our Genesis Nine Ice Potion."
As she spoke, the camera focused on the Frost Petal on the left.
"Ice Powder!" the Frost Petal flapped its wings and called out, confirming the statement.
"Let's put it to the test. We'll show you the difference in the Ice-Type Skills of the two Frost Petals when their proficiency is the same."
As soon as she finished speaking, the two Frost Petals flapped their wings at each other, casting Chilling Gale.
It was clear that the Chilling Gale from the Frost Petal on the left was significantly more powerful, freezing half of the right Frost Petal's wing.
"Did everyone see that? That's the power of the Nine Ice Potion!" The woman in the video returned to the camera, enthusiastically explaining:
"Both Frost Petals have their Chilling Gale proficiency at the Small Success level, yet the difference in power is so significant!"
"That's the miraculous effect of our Nine Ice Potion!"
"Just by drinking nine bottles, you can become the king among Ice-Type familiars!"
"We're using real cases to tell you: Nine Ice Potion! The perfect choice for Ice-Type familiars!"
With that, the video ended.
Qiao Sang stared at the glass display case, which had returned to its original state, without saying a word for a long time.
The staff, assuming that the second-to-last sentence in the video had made her hesitate, said:
"Although you need to drink nine bottles of the Nine Ice Potion to see the full effect, you can buy them one at a time. This potion only needs to be consumed once a week."
After a long pause, seeing that the young girl in front of her still hadn't spoken, the staff became worried that the sale might be in jeopardy.
Oh no, this can't be one of those 30% of casual visitors who ask questions but don't buy anything.
Just as the staff was about to try harder and suggest some more affordable potions, the young girl in front of her asked, "Do you have introduction videos for all your potions?"
The staff was taken aback for a moment before nodding, "Yes, we have videos for each of them."
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Then please pack up all the S-Class and above potions suitable for Fire-Type, Psychic Type, Ghost-Type, Water-Type, Ice-Type, and Flying Beasts. Also, give me a copy of the introduction video for each potion."
The store was quiet, and every word Qiao Sang said was heard clearly by all the staff.
They were all stunned.
The staff member who was serving her was completely dumbfounded, with no mental preparation for this at all. It felt like a wild Dragon-Type Beast Companion suddenly appearing before her and saying, "I have a bond with you and want to bond with you."
It was that kind of shock.
The staff member looked at the woman standing beside the girl, who had been mostly silent, with a "Really?" expression.
Calm down, calm down. The child doesn't decide; this should be the adult's decision.
Calm down, calm down. Now we have an unlimited credit card, so this amount of money is nothing.
Ye Xiangting paused for a moment, recalling the overbearing Ceo dramas she had watched in her youth, and said, "Since my daughter has spoken, please pack it all up."
All the staff members: "!!!"
