It was 6: 47 PM. Player Number 57, Lin Sanjiu, was walking towards Cloud Gathering Trading House. She currently had 21,055 Stamina Points.
Speaking of which, it was all thanks to Scrooge McDuck's mediocre combat and mental strength.
Ever since she gained the [Consciousness Mimicry] ability, Lin Sanjiu couldn't last more than two minutes every time she impersonated Nuwa. As a result, she developed a habit of thinking that she shouldn't last more than two minutes every time she impersonated Scrooge McDuck. She didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to get out of the mimicry even after a few hours had passed. It seemed like it wouldn't be a problem for her to last a few more hours.
"How weak is this duck?" Mrs. Manas exclaimed in her mind, "Your Higher Consciousness doesn't seem to be depleted at all."
Lin Sanjiu snorted unhappily. Feeling offended, she immediately retorted, "You are too short-sighted! Fighting isn't the only thing that counts as strength. The duck's strength is its business strategy and thinking ability. "
"Oh," Mrs. Manas smacked her lips, "I forgot that you are still in the mimicry."
Even though Lin Sanjiu still retained her main consciousness during the process of Consciousness Mimicry, her thought process had completely changed into that of the mimicry target. "Why can't you recognize me? Look, how many times have I increased my Stamina Points in such a short time? Let me tell you, even if I only have 9.6 Stamina Points left, I can still make a comeback, let alone 96. "
"What are you doing? Those Stamina Points aren't yours!" Mrs. Manas couldn't help retorting.
Lin Sanjiu snorted softly and ignored Mrs. Manas. Soon, Cloud Gathering Trading House appeared at the end of the road.
After talking to all the shop owners, Lin Sanjiu memorized all the information that she thought might be useful. Then, she activated her mimicry. After all, Scrooge McDuck was a well-known cartoon character. Once she had an understanding of him, it wasn't difficult to impersonate him. The moment she "possessed" the duck, Lin Sanjiu immediately pushed open the door and walked back to the coffee shop.
This time, she looked completely different.
Although she was still tall and slender, with a pair of huge bone wings on her back. However, the steely temperament that Lin Sanjiu exuded after surviving a few minutes ago had long disappeared. Her amber eyes were now filled with excitement. She walked to the shop owner and placed her elbow on the counter.
"Boss. Give me a cup of milk tea, "Lin Sanjiu extended her hand and allowed the female owner to deduct 9 Stamina Points. Lin Sanjiu spoke in a friendly tone that Mrs. Manas had never heard before," I see that the ingredients you use are pretty good. Oh, fresh milk. "
"Exactly. Nowadays, customers are very picky. "The female owner sighed proudly and quickly made milk tea for her." If the taste isn't right the first time, they won't come again. We have to use expensive ones for our business to continue. "
Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes and looked at the boxes of fresh milk behind the counter. Her smile widened.
"The Starry Carnival Amusement Park seems to be the only
There is a dairy on the 'Gingerbread Man's Path' that provides fresh milk … It's not cheap now. Every liter costs 5 Stamina Points. "Lin Sanjiu grinned at the female owner." I have an idea. It can help you save some money. "
"What idea?" The female owner immediately looked at Lin Sanjiu suspiciously.
"Don't you have to pay an additional 5% handling fee when you purchase from the trading center?" Lin Sanjiu found a chair and sat down. She crossed her legs and smiled leisurely, "But if you go through me, you only need to pay 3%. Think about it, you can save a lot of money if you buy all the ingredients from me."
The female owner's eyes lit up. She even slowed down the milk tea she was making. "You have this connection? Can you pay 3%?"
"Of course," Lin Sanjiu replied lazily. There was an unquestionable determination in her tone, "I'm a VIP customer of the Cloud Gathering Trading Center. You should know that. The handling fee for a VIP customer is only 3%."
The curly-haired female shop owner immediately leaned over. She asked cautiously, "You don't charge me?"
"No," Lin Sanjiu smiled. "To be honest, there's a platinum level above the VIP customer. The handling fee is only 1%. However, I need to increase my trading volume before I can upgrade it. So, this is a win-win situation for both of us. "
Mrs. Manas listened to Lin Sanjiu in a daze. She simply couldn't remember when the waitress of the Cloud Gathering Trading Center mentioned the "platinum level". Seeing how excited the female owner was and how she hurriedly took out a contract after Lin Sanjiu said a few words, as if she was afraid that Lin Sanjiu would run away, Mrs. Manas had to force herself not to blurt out the questions in her mind.
"Since you want to increase your trading volume," Lin Sanjiu wasn't in a hurry to sign the contract. She tapped her pen on the table leisurely, "I won't accept one or two cases of this kind of order. If the volume is too small, not only is it not worth my time, it will also affect my status as a VIP customer."
The female owner bit her lip and thought for a moment. Then, she smiled awkwardly and asked, "But my shop is small. Besides, ingredients like milk can't be stored for too long … I can only get a week's worth of goods from you. I'm afraid I won't be able to digest any more than that."
Lin Sanjiu sucked in a breath of cold air. She frowned as if she was worried.
"A week … Oh, you have a list here. Let me take a look … Hmm, a week's worth of goods is about 600 to 700 Stamina Points … Well, that's a little too little." Lin Sanjiu put down the list with a serious face and pushed it back to the female owner, "To tell you the truth, my daily trading volume is about 3,000 to 8,000 Stamina Points."
Mrs. Manas almost spat out a mouthful of saliva in her head.
"Ah, that's such a big number," the female owner was a little dispirited. She mumbled, "I can't gather such a large amount of money."
Lin Sanjiu took the initiative to take the milk tea that the female owner ordered. As if she was the owner of the beverage shop, Lin Sanjiu spread her wings leisurely and leaned back on the chair. She smiled and said, "Of course, I won't ask you to bear such a large number alone. But, aren't there many shops on this street? I'm not familiar with them, but you can help me promote them … Since you both have shops in the same area, you should know each other, right? "
"That's not a problem …" When the female owner heard Lin Sanjiu's words, she sat down beside Lin Sanjiu hesitantly. "After all, it's a win-win situation. I'm sure everyone will be willing to do it. Besides, the contract you signed at Starry Carnival Amusement Park has a guarantee. We don't have to worry … But, when the time comes, my order … "
"It doesn't matter how small it is. After all, we are helping each other," Lin Sanjiu agreed without hesitation.
What happened next seemed to be logical yet confusing. Mrs. Manas stared blankly at the shop owner as she picked up the phone. Not long after, people of different appearances opened the door one after another. They were all the owners of the small shops nearby. After hearing the news from the female owner, they rushed over without much delay. As for the big chain stores like Lips, they didn't even know who the owner was. Naturally, none of them came.
After Scrooge McDuck possessed her, Lin Sanjiu's every action and every tone of her voice were ten times more convincing. Moreover, with the Starry Carnival Amusement Park as a natural constraint, no one was worried that she would go back on her word or run away after taking the Stamina Points. Therefore, everything went smoothly. Very soon, everyone had sorted out the purchase order and signed the contract with Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu sat behind a table and collected the money from each shop owner according to the amount on each contract. At the same time, he collected stamina points. She even reminded them, "The quantity is large and there are many different kinds of goods. It will take about three days for the goods to arrive. We don't accept urgent orders."
The shop owners responded with "Don't worry, don't worry" and "Just wait for a few days." Very soon, Lin Sanjiu had collected more than 20,000 Stamina Points.
This time, there were a total of 17 shop owners who signed the contract. The amount of money ranged from 2,000 Stamina Points to a few hundred Stamina Points. Naturally, there were many different kinds of goods. Carrying a thick stack of contracts, purchase orders, and name lists, Lin Sanjiu finally left the coffee shop when the sky was turning dark.
"This is because we are in a pocket dimension. That's why business is so smooth, "Lin Sanjiu sighed as she walked." When Scrooge started from scratch, how could it be so easy? Even if he ran all over the place, he might not be able to find another shop … "
Mrs. Manas snorted.
"You are using your advantage to give benefits to others for free. Even an idiot would be able to negotiate with them, but what's the point?" Mrs. Manas thought for a long time, but she still couldn't understand, "Even if you say 4%, you can still earn a 1% commission difference …"
"Ahem. It's too slow to earn money that way. " Lin Sanjiu put all the receipts into a bag and turned them into a card. Then, she pushed open the door of Cloud Gathering Trading House.
"You're here at the right time!" The moment she stepped over the threshold, the waiter's loud voice came from behind the wooden counter, "Our trading house closes at 7 o 'clock. You can still have your meals after closing. Are you here for dinner?"
Lin Sanjiu smiled at the quick-witted man and looked at the notice board on the wall.
"There's still half an hour left. It seems like I'm not too late." Lin Sanjiu drummed her fingers on the counter, her eyes never leaving the notice board. As her eyes moved, the words on the notice board scrolled down at a blinding speed. From time to time, the ink would disappear and reappear again. "Can I still trade now?"
"Of course," the waiter rubbed his hands, "What do you want to trade?"
"Wait, let me take a look." Lin Sanjiu replied unhurriedly as if she didn't notice that the clock was ticking. The current selling price of eggs is 0.6 Stamina Points per pound … "
Although it was 0.6 Stamina Points, it was actually the average selling price of the three egg suppliers. For a high-end supplier like Walden, the price was naturally higher, reaching 0.8 Stamina Points per pound. The other two suppliers only sold their eggs at 0.5 Stamina Points per pound.
"Walden's eggs are not only expensive, but they also don't produce a lot of eggs," Lin Sanjiu smiled at the waiter as she pointed out the prices, "The other two suppliers can produce 200 pounds per day. They're the only one that only produces 150 pounds."
The waiter nodded in confusion.
"There are still …" Lin Sanjiu squinted her eyes. When she saw the number, she was elated. "It seems like they haven't sold all their eggs yet. Alright, I want all of them."
Suddenly, Mrs. Manas let out a "burp" in her mind.
"There are a total of 2100 pounds of eggs sold by three suppliers. Do you want all of them?" the waiter asked cheerfully, "Virtual inventory or physical inventory?"
"Virtual inventory," Lin Sanjiu waved her hand, "Why do I need so many eggs?"
"Yeah," Mrs. Manas finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Why do you need so many eggs? Even though there are some suppliers who have placed orders for eggs, they don't need as many as 2100 pounds — "
Before Mrs. Manas could finish her sentence, she suddenly realized something and immediately shut her mouth.
"Have you thought it through?" Lin Sanjiu chuckled inwardly. She didn't continue the conversation with Mrs. Manas and turned to look at the notice board. Actually, she already knew what she had to do. She quickly instructed the waiter, "Set up an automatic buy button for me. From tomorrow morning, when the market opens, for three consecutive days, I will buy as many eggs as there are on the market. I don't care about the price. "
The waiter quickly jotted down her instructions behind the counter.
"Then, help me post a few anonymous messages … Can I remain anonymous? That's good. " Her words flowed smoothly as if she had prepared a draft. "The first message is, 1 stamina point per pound for eggs. The second message is: Selling sugar, butter, and cream at a 20% discount. "
The waiter paused and raised his head. "But you don't have these items …"
"So what?" Lin Sanjiu didn't mind, "If someone really wants to buy them, I can buy them at the market price and sell them at a loss. Can't I?"
"Sure, as long as you don't violate our agreement, you can do whatever you want," the waiter laughed.
It didn't take long for Lin Sanjiu to complete those few tasks. By 6: 57, Lin Sanjiu had already spent 1298 Stamina Points in exchange for 2100 pounds of eggs.
At this point, Mrs. Manas naturally understood everything. She sighed. It was hard to tell if she was impressed by Lin Sanjiu's actions. She said softly, "I didn't know that this was your plan. Now, the price of eggs is going to soar tomorrow … "
"Posting a message can guarantee that the price of eggs will increase by at least 1 Stamina Point. It's such a good deal." Lin Sanjiu's eyes sparkled as night fell. "Moreover, I don't even get a single cent of interest from the money I used to raise the price. Where else can I find such a good deal? However, I can't just leave the remaining Stamina Points to be wasted … "(To be continued)
