"Sell them for more? Why?" Everyone in the room looked bewildered, even the usually unflappable Xie Yue. Only Hu Liena wore a look of realization.
"I get it! This is what you meant by selling a concept!"
"Bingo! Sister Nana knows me best!" Qin Chao said, giving Hu Liena a big hug.
"Ahem, stop getting all lovey-dovey and hurry up and explain it to us!"

Hu Liena pushed Qin Chao away as though she had been shocked, her face so red it looked ready to drip blood.
"Here's the thing. What we're selling isn't just soul rings..."
Qin Chao repeated the meal-getting theory he had explained to Hu Liena in the Soul Hunting Forest.

"Unless what...?" Everyone had been listening with growing interest. When Qin Chao suddenly held back, they hurriedly pressed him for an answer.

"My idea is to set the academies' price for custom ten-year soul rings at fifteen Gold Soul Coins each, and the custom group-purchase price at twenty Gold Soul Coins
