Claire followed Yana into the jewelry store. The decoration inside was almost the same as the jewelry store in the previous life. There was a glass counter with exquisite jewelry inside. There was a good-looking waitress waiting in front of each counter. After seeing Claire and the two come in, a woman who looked like a store manager walked up with a smile on her face.

"Sir, madam, do you need me to introduce you?"

Claire shook his head, and Yana ignored her. His eyes were completely attracted by the jewelry in the glass counter. He quickly walked forward and lay down in front of the counter to look at it carefully.

The female store manager didn't feel that she was disrespected. She just smiled and walked up, standing aside and saying nothing. She knew that some customers didn't like others to talk too much, so she only had to speak when they needed explanations.

Yana walked along the glass counter. When he saw the jewelry he liked, he asked the waitress to take it out. After shopping around, the waiter followed behind him with more than thirty pieces of jewelry.

Almost an hour has passed, and Yana is still in high spirits. This makes Claire feel like he went shopping with his girlfriend in his previous life. Oh no, he didn't have a girlfriend in his previous life.

Claire really had nothing to do and asked, "Do you want to buy them all?"

Yana turned around, still holding a necklace pendant made of mithril in his hand, and replied with a pout, "How is that possible? My monthly pocket money is only 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. If I buy it all, I will have no living expenses this month. Just buy four or five."

Claire was stunned at first, so few?

But I soon felt relieved. Yana was different from him. All the income from the property in Claire's hands belonged to him, while Yana actually made money for the family. The source of the money was also the pocket money issued by the family. There were many members in each family. When divided, Yana was quite a lot.

And a big family like theirs can do many things without spending money at all, so it doesn't matter how much or how little money they have.

"After spending it, you won't have anywhere to use your pocket money anyway. Besides, haven't you got the five hundred thousand? You can buy them all with just a little bit."

Yana raised his head a little arrogantly, "That's not possible, I have to save the money."

"As a dowry?" Claire joked.

Yana bared his teeth at Claire again and said fiercely, "You are really bad, I saved it as a start-up fund!" Yana obviously knew that she would definitely get married by then. If the husband she married was a loser, she could at least buy some properties with the money she had saved.

Listening to the fight between the two, the female store manager on the side almost burst into laughter as she listened. This is a big customer. Those who sell luxury goods do not rely on quantity, and the profit from each piece of jewelry is very considerable. If they can sell four or five of these thirty items, their performance this week will be up to standard.

Claire took the mithril pendant that Yana was holding and smacked his lips, what a guy, such a precious magic material is actually used to make jewelry, and the most amazing thing is that it doesn't use it at all, it is just used for decoration.

This has to be left in the hands of myself and Isaac. It doesn't take much to make a Magical Artifacts that can kill High Mage.

"Does it look good?" Yana asked when Claire looked at it so seriously.

Claire nodded. Although he didn't think so, he would not say anything to ruin the atmosphere at this time.

Then he took the mithril pendant and turned to the female store manager and asked, "How much does this necklace cost?"

Upon hearing Claire's inquiry, the female store manager became excited, "You have such good taste. This necklace is all made of mithril. It was designed by Master Ona of Shaquai Port himself. It is also the best jewelry sold in our store. Its design idea is..."

Seeing that the other party was talking a lot but still didn't get to the point, Claire interrupted the other party and asked again, "I mean, how much does it cost?"

The female store manager closed her mouth and then said slowly, "Three thousand pieces of Gold Coins. You can buy it with confidence. The price of this jewelry has not dropped since it was released. It is still rising."

Customers who buy luxury goods don't care at all how cheap it is, but the more expensive it is, the better. The fact that it has been sold for so long and becomes more expensive proves that it is indeed a good thing.

Claire lowered his head and glanced at the necklace in his hand, and tugged at the corner of his mouth. The mithril in this jewelry was definitely not pure mithril metal. It was synthetic. The cost price was about two to three hundred Gold Coins. This craft does not require the craftsmen in Nafu City Blacksmith Street, but the craftsmen in Nakin Town can make it. As for the so-called master, it is just a marketing cost, and you can buy it for hundreds of thousands.

Including freight and other costs, the total cost of each piece of jewelry is only about three hundred. Now, three thousand pieces of Gold Coins are actually sold in the store?

Ten times the profit is just like picking up money in a sack. This is damn consumerism.

Seeing Claire's expression, the female store manager thought that Claire thought the things were expensive, so she wisely closed her mouth and stood back.

Yana waved his hand in front of Claire's eyes, "What's wrong? Why are you still in a daze? You've fallen in love with this necklace, so I'll give it to you."

Claire knew that Yana was joking, so he smiled and returned the necklace to her, saying, "A gentleman will never take away someone's love, so you should buy it. Show me the jewelry you picked out, and I'll see what your taste is like."

Claire I plan to do some product research first. If the profit of each piece of jewelry is that big, then this path can indeed be taken.

"I must have good taste!" Yana raised his head, "Let's go, I've almost picked out everything. Let's find a place to sit down and take a good look."

Claire nodded, and under the leadership of the female store manager, they walked to a rest area in the lobby. After the two sat down, the waiter who followed them put down the tray with the jewelry.

Yana's eyes were once again filled with little stars. He couldn't put it down and played with the jewelry, planning to pick out his favorite ones to buy.

Claire carefully observed the jewelry. From time to time, he took out one of the pieces and asked the female store manager at the back the price of the jewelry. Then he smacked his lips, shook his head and put the jewelry back on the plate.

The female store manager who responded looked embarrassed, feeling that Claire was looking down on his products.

Yana on the side was also a little curious by Claire's move. He turned around and asked, "Are you really going to buy it?"

Claire shook his head and said, "No, just take a look."

"Then you still have that expression."

"What expression?"

"Let's put it this way, there's a little bit of excitement mixed with disgust, which is weird."

Claire laughed twice without explaining, then put the jewelry back in his hand, shrugged and said, "I won't read it anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Claire's eyes were attracted by the earring in Yana's hand. It was a platinum gold earring made of some kind of expensive magic metal. However, Claire was not attracted by the magic metal. He was attracted by the decorative embellishment under the long chain under the earring. It looked like a small turquoise stone, which matched with the platinum gold color very brightly.

"Wait a minute, Yana, show me that earring in your hand."
