Wesleyte's True Form, Financial Advice

Wesleyte chuckled, took off his gold pocket watch, glanced at it, and said, "Young man, I can give you three minutes!"

"Mr. Wesleyte, what do you think determines the 'value' of an item?" Xu Lang leaned back strategically, staring at Wesleyte with a meaningful look.

Wesleyte pondered for a moment, then replied, "Value lies in fluidity; anything that can flow has value."

Xu Lang shook his head, his face saying, "You're completely wrong."

Wesleyte frowned, somewhat annoyed.

Xu Lang casually pulled out a piece of white paper and said, "How much do you think this piece of paper is worth?"

"One Copper Coin at most," Wesleyte replied.

"If you were to sell it, how much money could you get for it?" Xu Lang asked with a smile.

"Of course, it's one Copper Coin."

Please sign here!

Wesleyte didn't take the pen Xu Lang offered, but instead stared at the blank paper in deep thought.

After a few breaths, he seemed to have figured something out, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

"The value of an item lies in its meaning. As long as the meaning is sufficient, people are willing to pay for it, even if it's priced ten thousand times higher!" Xu Lang laughed. "That's the essence of money."

Throughout the journey, Wesleyte was highly respected. This piece of paper, signed by him, is worth at least ten times more. If it's hyped up, its value will be limitless.

Xu Lang had fallen victim to too many marketing tricks during peacetime, and he knew this kind of thing inside and out.

"Interesting, interesting, very interesting!" Wesleyte laughed heartily.

Xu Lang laughed:

"Mr. Wesleyte, what is your main profession?"

"I can give you financial advice, and if you don't agree with it, I won't charge you any fees."

Wesleyte's laughter continued, gradually becoming more rampant, morbid, and eerie, her aura rapidly intensifying, making the air itself creak!

Tong Qi's expression changed slightly, and she prepared to release the ghost.

Xu Ruyan was also preparing to take action.

Just then, all the lights in the circus went out.

The scene suddenly became dark!

Tong Qi and Xu Ruyan's expressions changed drastically; their skills were about to be unleashed in the next second.

Snap

At the critical moment, Xu Lang pressed down on the shoulders of the two women.

In his Sixth Sense, Wesleyte's aura became incredibly terrifying, but without malice.

A spotlight shines on the stage, and a middle-aged male magician in a tuxedo stands in the center of the cylindrical light, bowing slightly in greeting.

He first thanked the audience for coming to watch the performance, and then began to introduce the next seven performance items.

These include: clown comedy, ballet on a ring, animal training performances, knife throwing, "Challenge the Impossible," trapeze acts, and an acrobatic carnival.

As he spoke, some dim lights gradually came on, including those in the VIP room.

Xu Ruyan and Tong Qi also got a clear look at Wesleyte's appearance.

Although it no longer let out that chilling laughter, it only made the two women feel even more terrified!

A large tuft of dark gray goose feathers emerged from Wesleyte's suit, and his face transformed into that of a bird, with a sharp beak that was at least twenty centimeters long, and gray eyes that gleamed with cunning and shrewdness!

Raven? Mothman? Demon? Or some other monster?!

The two women didn't know how to describe the monster before them.

"The value of an item lies in its meaning; that's an interesting idea." Wesleyte took a black crystal from her pocket and tossed it to Xu Lang: "This is a soul stone produced by my factory; consider it my tuition fee."

"You flatter me." Xu Lang chuckled as he caught the black crystal. He remained completely unfazed by Wesleyte's change, treating it as a dream.

[Soul Stone]

[Type: Item]

[Level: 10]

[Description: Soul Crystals can be used as food for ghosts and Guardian Spirit, or as raw materials; they have multiple uses.]

Xu Lang was surprised after checking the information.

This NPC, covered in question marks, is indeed generous, offering level 10 items right off the bat.

"Hehe, I'm not some self-important old fogey. You're more capable than me, so I should pay my dues," Wesleyte said with a chuckle.

When he laughed, the gray feathers trembled slightly, shedding their gray matter while reflecting a vicious and repulsive phosphorescence.

Tong Qi and Xu Ruyan felt nauseous and almost threw up.

This disgust comes from a life instinct, like a human-shaped moth fluttering in front of you.

"You're so generous, I've learned a lot." Xu Lang said with admiration.

Why does Wesleyte dress so impeccably? Isn't it all to gain people's respect?

Seeing Xu Lang's admiring look, Wesleyte was indeed pleased. He laughed and said, "Young man, tell me, what positive impact can you have on my assets?"

"Before that, I need to know what your core assets are, or what industries you are interested in," Xu Lang replied with a smile.

"A business I'm particularly interested in?" Wesleyte frowned, sighing with a headache. "To keep up with industrialization, I started a Flesh Mill and Resentment Workshop, both of which are currently operating at a loss."

"Flesh Mill?" Xu Lang raised an eyebrow.

"It's a meat processing plant. Currently, our main processed product is canned human flesh," Wesleyte said with a troubled expression.

It really cost him a lot of money to buy this production line.

"Do you have any products?" Xu Lang asked.

"This." Wesleyte flipped his hand over and took out a black can, casually opening it with his finger.

Upon seeing the food inside, Tong Qi and Xu Ruyan's expressions completely changed.

"This canned food isn't very good; there's still hair in it," Xu Lang said cautiously.

"That makes the flavor richer, and diners don't really care about that," Wesleyte said, shaking her head.

Xu Lang looked Wesleyte up and down. "So, Wesleyte, do you prefer the texture of bone scraps or flesh and blood?"

"Bone scraps, I guess. They're chewy," Wesleyte replied.

Xu Lang clapped his hands and laughed, "Isn't that the problem? You didn't do the detailed processing, no wonder you lost money."

"Detailed processing?" Wesleyte asked, puzzled.

Xu Lang nodded:

"Hmm, some customers like the skin, some like the bones, and some like the meat. Why don't you make three different kinds of canned goods? That way, you can precisely target their preferences, and you can also fill the cans with more human blood, so the contents won't seem like a small amount!"

"Think about it, other canned meat and blood products can only be eaten haphazardly, indiscriminately, and carelessly, while your canned products have achieved refined processing—that's the difference!"

"With just one skinning worker and one blood-drawing worker, you can completely dominate other brands and create more jobs!"

"From now on, whoever sees you will not address you as the esteemed Wesleyte?"

Wesleyte's breathing quickened; the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Meticulous operations can directly improve product quality and reputation!

"If customers don't have a demand, then create one for them!" Xu Lang put his arm around Wesleyte's shoulder. "Once your brand's influence has increased, launch canned hearts, canned thighs, and canned pectoral muscles, each with a different price tag, quickly seizing every niche in the market. Then the whole world will be filled with your products!"
