The Garden of Thorns, Amyra's century-old shop on Hedron Street, is now completely unrecognizable from the past.
It was a lovely hut decorated with a small forest. The hut in the forest and the tree house together formed a three-dimensional building complex. Large vines and trees supported the skeleton of the building, and the green grass became a natural floor. The cute little wood spirits have become diligent and diligent little shop assistants, and the tall, reinforced shell tree people have become guards. With the completely non-mainstream decoration style, the store has already attracted a lot of customers.
"Thank you for your patronage! Welcome back."
Sitting in the cashier's seat, Rosa was sweaty and busy, but she always smiled at the satisfied customers.
The little wood spirits running around are fulfilling their duties as shopping guides with enthusiastic smiles, and from time to time there are female mages and apprentices who hear the news, screaming "too cute!" and "let my sister hug" .
"Yesterday it was obviously a ruin!"
Gold Fang's murmur made me look back at the group of troublemakers who asked me to lead the guards, and at the busy elves, so I began to seriously consider throwing them into the trench or rocketing them to the sky possibility.
How can this person be so different from other people? Looking at the little wood spirits, I can't help nodding my head in satisfaction, but I just approached the store...
"Ah, my father, you are back."
As soon as Rosa opened her mouth, everyone's eyes turned to me, and the surprise and shock in it made people uncomfortable.
"dad!!"
"Dad, Xiaohong 232 worked hard, did you see it?"
"Father, there is a lot of turnover today."
The little wood spirits ran over happily, jumping up and down to show me their merits, and then everyone looked at me with increasingly unfriendly eyes...
If you don't count the peculiar plant components on her body, the appearance of the wood spirit is quite similar to that of the elf's young daughter. I am afraid that before the news of the birth of this strange new race spread, most people thought it was just an elf dressed in natural style. Girls, but some eye-catching observers have found that they are different from elves, but this time is not necessarily a good thing...
"To let such a young daughter go to work is such a scumbag."
"Look carefully, some elves don't have pointed ears, they should be mixed blood. The number of daughters is not enough to describe the number of ordinary scumbags. How many elves did this bastard start with."
"Ghost father? It's so enviable!"
"There is actually a number? Is there a daughter with more than three digits? Wow, super scumbag."
"The endless emblem of truth of double material? Even if he is a super mage, he cannot deny the fact that he is scum."
Although there are strange things in it, my reputation has developed in a strange place for no reason, and at this time, how could the system forget to jump out and fall into the trap again.
[The prestige system is triggered again, Elroin Dante (Carol): Reverence 20000/20000 (The Prodigal Son Returns) for faction conversion, becoming Elroin Dante: Respect 168/50000 (The Prodigal Son Never Returns), congratulations to the host Obtaining the new title "Professional Ghost Father" will increase the attractiveness of young girls when equipped, and the success rate of the classic invitation to say "Uncle will take you to see goldfish" will increase, but at the same time, it will extremely arouse the hatred of adult women. System prompt: Don't always blame others for cheating on you, you are the source of infection of the gentleman virus!]
After finally making up a story in Carol, the reputation that I recovered was distorted 180 degrees. My reputation seemed to be destined to become more and more strange, but when I was about to cry without tears, a cheerful girl who had always been very good suddenly jumped out. Patch.
"Father, mother will be very happy to see that you have managed her shop so well."
Mother? The original owner of this store? Amyra! In an instant, I knew I was done.
"Woooooo, my angel!"
"God punishes scum!"
"Don't pull me, let me fight with that scum, nothing can stop my revenge, even if he is a truth-level mage, even if he is an old monster more than two hundred years old, even if he is casual It can pinch us to death, and a casual sentence can make us fail the subject forever... Hey, don't let go, don't be so realistic, just hold me."
It should be said that there is an official support team. As a super popular teacher, Angel Amyra's false name is probably more famous than her poor management. Due to her extreme preference for female students, her fans are both male and female. Now there are people who vomit blood on street corners, and there are so many people who are desperately trying to find me, which is really enviable... Speechless.
But at the moment pointed out by thousands of people, I can only helplessly look at the little Rosa who seems to have no idea what I have done, and is still smiling.
"Sure enough, when the pink hair is cut, it's all black."
"Rosa is not black. It is the daughter's duty to take good care of the father for the mother who is not at home and not let him mess with flowers."
Well, this calm and bright smile makes me not know how to fix her. It's not the bastards behind me. They have thick skin and can stand up to training. Just find a goblin cannon and shoot them out. If I'm right Rosa did this, and I was afraid she would be charged with abusing a young girl again.
In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly, and carry this little troublemaker into the room. As for the clamor of "ghost father" and "lolicon" behind his back, it's as if he didn't hear it. Bar.
As for my reputation? Forget it, don't count on it, anyway, when I was studying here, I didn't get a girl, so this time it's probably the same. Since it's a zero egg anyway, it doesn't matter how bad the reputation is... I don't think there is any regret, absolutely not because I couldn't pretend to be a mature person to become a teacher as expected, soaking in those ignorant schoolgirls, dripping blood in the bottom of my heart.
As for the unwilling tears in the corners of your eyes? That's definitely an illusion.
"Forget it, forget it, it's all life."
[Ninety-nine percent are you looking for it yourself.]
"It's all self-inflicted."
Well, the system and the spit of the dead cat came as expected, should you be grateful? At least the system is more optimistic about me.
[Don't worry, according to the logic of the system, there is no absolute in everything, at least there are some chance chances, although it is many places below the decimal point. Do you need me to do the math for you? 0.000…]
"Shut up, don't put salt on the wound anymore"
Leaving aside the good and the bad, there are some things that I dare to be interested in.
"What are you selling now? The goods I ordered haven't arrived yet. You are not in the service industry such as elf coffee houses, right?"
Yes, this is the most strange thing. The workshop in the suburbs has just been successfully acquired. Amela's laboratory has been turned into ruins. Start a popular shop.
"Although my mother is not good at business, her research level is indeed worthy of the emblem of truth. Among those with specific needs, various products are actually very popular, even the price and quantity of goods are extremely unreasonable. For example, magical plant seeds It is a very popular and popular product with strong actual combat ability. As a result, my mother actually priced the seeds that cost less than ten gold coins at fifteen thousand gold coins. It became a super luxury and naturally could not be sold. On the contrary, many prices are relatively low. The low-end good things are always snapped up, but in fact there is not much profit, and the mother is lazy to replenish."
Hearing this, I almost understand. In fact, what Amyra lacks is not research results. As a top expert in plants, how could she lack research results, but a trustworthy (mainly Amyla herself) wealth management expert, she The pricing of the company is completely based on one's own preferences. Even if the price of one's own research by-products is placed on the shelf at random, and the research project is established without considering the possible returns, how can it be possible to not lose money.
"That is, you're just repricing those items that are in stock."
"In addition, we also used our new technology to carry out enchanting and variety improvement. We also added our wood spirit products. It was so popular just after it opened today, and more is the store that everyone has been closed to mother for a long time. Accumulated demand. And the new customers after that should come from hearing the news.”
Looking at the eloquent little financial experts in front of me, I really feel that Amela needs to learn from others. With her help, and my special commodity reserves, I might not be able to make this century-old company famous for its poor management. Shop, you can rush into the top ten sales of the Tower of the Clouds this year, and challenge the thousand-year-old stores of those big organizations.
Is it unusual for a mage to open a shop? It seems a bit wrong for academic experts to be obsessed with money, but sometimes there is a gap between reality and ideals. Since learning and researching new magic requires a lot of money and resources, even if you can’t get in, even Jinshan can be eaten up. Learn to make money, but also learn to spend money.
Low-level mages have money-making channels for low-level mages. They can copy magic scrolls and sell them, and they can also work for middle and high-level mages. They don’t have much overhead, so this is enough. A research project for top mages starts from hundreds of thousands of gold coins. If you fail, you will lose everything. If you don't manage and manage money, you will sooner or later become a negative asset like Amyra.
In fact, just like scientific researchers in a certain world, the research results of mages can easily be converted into golden coins, enchanting and charging weapons and equipment, making cannon fodder magicians, selling alchemy medicines, researching and developing new weapons and equipment, etc. The civilian transformation of similar technologies, these are all easy-to-make money businesses.
For example, I know that there are a lot of summoning spellcasters in a magic guild called "Dark Ball". They are particularly good at taming monsters. In addition to selling various summoned beasts and contract magic pets, their chariot and horse shops occupy the It has a market share of more than 70%, which is a long-term and lasting source of income.
A wizard who is good at enchanting opens an enchanting shop, and an alchemist is not short of money. He is good at making magic items and equipment. If you are an archmage who monopolizes any technology or industry, you can just lie down and count your money.
Even if you don't know anything, you will always be a mercenary by casting spells. You can make a lot of money by copying scrolls of advanced magic. You only need a little snack. When you have no money, stop researching to make money, and you will not starve to death.
Well, let’s hack Amyra again here. As the holder of the Emblem of Endless Truth, who monopolizes the top technology of plant-related magic technology, it is super weird to be able to get to such a level.
In front of me, with the help of Rosa's little helper, I don't need to worry about the store. Originally, I was worried about whether those bastards could be well received...
Now, without worrying about it, I can also devote my energy to product preparation, development, etc., but my goal has never been as simple as opening a store to make money.
