Elementary Advancement Pill
As night fell, Ma Feifei lay on a rocking chair in the backyard, looking up at the ice crystal dragon statue on the roof, but his mind was preoccupied with the matter of the Pokémon Advancement Pill.
After sweeping through the Quartz League Competition, Ma Feifei and Mew won the Quartz League Competition, and also unlocked the Pokémon Skill Book Shop and Elementary Advancement Pill.
The skill books contain all the skills that Pokémon can learn, and each skill book indicates the types of Pokémon that can learn that skill.
The price of each skill book varies greatly. For example, Palkia's Subspace Cut costs tens of millions of Spirit Crystal. It's estimated that only Palkia can afford such a skill once it evolves into Divine Beast. Moreover, Palkia is not among the Pokémon that have appeared so far.
Besides these ridiculously expensive skill books, there are also cheap ones worth tens of thousands; such as Exeggutor Dream Eater, Golbat's Double Team, Kingler's Stomp, and so on.
However, Ma Feifei discovered a problem: many Pokémon nowadays possess the ability to learn skills on their own, so they don't need to rely on Pokémon skill books to enhance their abilities. As a result, skill shops are currently not fulfilling their intended value.
Fortunately, Ma Feifei has no plans to sell Pokémon skill books, so he's not too bothered by this.
Besides the Pokémon skill book, the most crucial item is the Elementary Advancement Pill.
Elementary Advancement Pill.
Effect: Allows the sprite to advance to level 5.
Unit price: one million Spirit Crystal.
It's a simple and straightforward introduction, but it can solve the awkward situation where the little sprite is stuck at the fourth tier and cannot break through to the fifth tier.
With this Elementary Advancement Pill, nearly five thousand little elves in Dubian Town can all successfully advance to the fifth rank, and Ma Feifei will no longer have to endure those people nagging him every day.
"But then again, Advancement Pill are a bit expensive!" Ma Feifei thought, frowning as he looked at the Advancement Pill in the System Shop.
One Advancement Pill costs one million, one hundred pills cost one hundred million, and one thousand pills cost one billion.
Now here's the problem: the system's Advancement Pill can only be purchased by Ma Feifei himself, meaning he needs to buy 5,000 Advancement Pill to meet everyone's needs tomorrow; however, Ma Feifei currently only has a little over a billion Spirit Crystal in total, which is enough to buy only 1,000 Advancement Pill.
"Where can we find the money to buy the remaining four thousand Advancement Pill?" Ma Feifei pondered, stroking his chin.
"How about we sell them in batches? Sell them one thousand at a time, collect the funds, and then use the money to buy Advancement Pill. Repeat this process a few times, and that should do it." After thinking for a long time, this was the only solution Ma Feifei could come up with.
"Huh? That's not right!" Suddenly, Ma Feifei paused, logged out of the system, lay down on the rocking chair, and started counting on his fingers.
"According to the profit sharing between me and the system, I can get 100 million in profit from 1 billion. Let's say I take 1,000 Advancement Pill to sell tomorrow. If I sell them for 1 billion, the system will take 900 million, leaving me with 100 million. Then I can use that 100 million to buy 1,000 Advancement Pill?"
"Why can't we afford it all of a sudden?"
"..."
The next day, the sun shone brightly.
The snow left over from yesterday's heavy snow melted rapidly into water under the already scorching morning sun and gradually evaporated.
Ma Feifei's appearance instantly restored peace to Dubian Town, which had been in chaos, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner; Nine Heavens Mountain, the trading market, and the Mysterious Bookstore remained the most bustling gathering places in Dubian Town.
Early in the morning, Ma Feifei brought a thousand Advancement Pill to the Wantong Trading Market across the street and met Zhou Zhuling, the new head of the Wantong Trading Market.
In fact, Ma Feifei could more or less guess Gongsun Qiong 'Gongsun Qiong thoughts about handing over the Wantong Trading Market to Zhou Zhuling.
Ma Feifei could only shake his head and sigh at this.
Zhou Zhuling clearly knew that Ma Feifei would be coming today, and she was waiting in the trading market early in the morning.
Zhou Zhuling seemed to have dressed up carefully today. Her jet-black hair was styled into a princess bun, adorned with a pearl hairpin with tassels hanging from it.
She wore a light pink gauze dress, which accentuated her slender figure. Her eyebrows were like ink paintings, and her eyes were like autumn water, exuding an indescribable gentleness and delicacy.
"So beautiful." Ma Feifei exclaimed sincerely.
"Brother Ma." Zhou Zhuling lowered her head shyly after being praised by Ma Feifei.
However, Zhou Zhuling seemed to remember something immediately, and the shy expression on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of regret in her eyes.
Ma Feifei had been watching the girl closely, and seeing her expression, how could he not know what Zhou Zhuling was thinking?
"Ahem, well, there's something I need to clarify. I didn't create the questions on that test paper, nor did I set the answers. You understand what I mean?" Ma Feifei sat in the Grand Tutor Chair, playing with her nails, subtly reminding him.
"Zhuling understands," Zhou Zhuling said, forcing a smile.
Seeing her expression, Ma Feifei knew she didn't seem to understand at all. He couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he was too lazy to explain further. He took out a thousand Pokémon Advancement Pill he had bought from the System Shop from his spatial bag and said, "Look, you should know why I'm here today. Although Sister Gongsun from Wantong Trading Market has been handed over to you, I still hope that Mysterious Bookstore can continue to cooperate with Wantong Trading Market."
Zhou Zhuling nodded and said seriously, "Brother Ma, don't worry, Wantong Trading Market is still the same Wantong Trading Market, and everything revolves around Mysterious Bookstore."
Regardless of the relationship between Zhou Zhuling and Ma Feifei, the Wantong Trading Market itself is positioned as a trading market that grew up alongside the Mysterious Bookstore. It is also a certified partner of the Mysterious Bookstore. All the cultivators in Dubian Town know that if they want to get first-hand information about the Mysterious Bookstore, they have to go to the Wantong Trading Market. It is precisely because of this that the Wantong Trading Market has been able to stand out among so many trading markets in Dubian Town and become a leading enterprise.
Once Mysterious Bookstore and Wantong Trading Market sever their partnership, the decline of Wantong Trading Market will be imminent, as evidenced by the unrest in Dubian Town a few days ago.
"What 'master' or 'master'? We're just partners." Ma Feifei handed Zhou Zhuling a spatial bag containing a thousand Advancement Pill, saying, "Here are a thousand Advancement Pill. They'll be sold for one million each; we'll sell a batch every day until we meet the needs of all the Pokémon-owning cultivators in Dubian Town."
The reason Ma Feifei didn't raise the price was because the current level of the Pokémon is still too low, and one million for an Advancement Pill is already quite expensive. If the price were increased, it would inevitably make cultivators think twice. After all, raising a Pokémon is very expensive, and now with the price of Advancement Pill, it's almost reached the point that everyone can afford. So, after thinking it over, Ma Feifei decided not to raise the price.
Since Ma Feifei had set the price, Zhou Zhuling naturally had no objections. However, after taking the space bag, Zhou Zhuling suddenly frowned and secretly glanced at Ma Feifei a few times.
Ma Feifei was taken aback and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Zhou Zhuling clenched the spatial storage in her hand, lowered her head, and said shyly, "My father has a favor to ask of me."
