"Brother Du, you're not thinking of opening a bellyband shop, are you?"
Gu Xiaobei could understand opening an elixir shop or an armor shop. But in the four continents, he had never heard of anyone opening a bellyband shop. That thing was a woman's private item. How could they open a special shop to sell it? Not to mention that the owner was a man.
"What bellyband shop? This is a women-specific inner armor defense shop. Let's go take a look at the goods first."
Du Feng's way of doing business was unusual. The bellyband in the shell market was indeed unusual. Not only was the material special, but it also had a certain defensive ability. If a female martial artist wore it, it would be comfortable and could play a defensive role. It would definitely lead to a new fashion.
What? This was actually made from the skin of a Murloc. Murlocs were different from sea snakes and eels. Their upper body was almost the same as a human's. When they went into the water, their lower body was a fish's tail. When they came ashore, it would become a pair of legs. Using human skin to make bellybands was similar to using human skin. It was too cruel.
Although the Murlocs and humans were irreconcilable, it was still a bit unreasonable to use human skin to make things. Du Feng frowned. He felt that this business could no longer continue. When humans were skinned, it was very painful. He believed that the same was true for the Murlocs. He would not do such a thing without any grievances.
"Mr. Du, you misunderstood!"
At this moment, a beautiful woman walked out of the storeroom. She winked at the salesgirl who was leading the way before to leave. The female boss had a curvaceous figure and a pair of big, watery eyes. The curve of her waist was particularly exaggerated. It made her buttocks especially perky. Her chest was also full.
"Tsk tsk tsk … If I'm not wrong, the boss is a member of the Murlocs."
Gu Xiaobei looked at the beautiful boss from top to bottom. He stopped at the waist for the longest time. The waist was so exaggerated. It was unlikely that she was a human woman. Only Murlocs who were born with two ribs would have this kind of funnel-shaped body.
The fishmen were astonishingly surprised. They came to the human island and even opened a shop here to do business. This was too exaggerated. Even though Du Feng was experienced and knowledgeable, he was still shocked. The enmity between the Merfolk Race and human martial artists was not inferior to the enmity between the Demon Race and human martial artists. In other words, if a demon cultivator from the Northern Continent or the Western Continent were to open a shop in Stony Plain City, even if he was not beaten to death, he would be spat to death.
"Mr. Du, please don't mind me. I have permission to open a shop on this island."
Brahma Sound Island was indeed worthy of being a free trading island nation that was famous across the four continents and five oceans. Even the Merpeople could get special permission to do business here. They would also be protected by the local laws, and human warriors would not be allowed to infringe on their interests.
Du Feng only learned about it after the mermaid boss's introduction. It turned out that the skin used to make the undergarments was not cruelly peeled off from the bodies of the mermaids. Murlocs would go through the process of molting every once in a while. Every time they changed their skin, their bodies would grow. As long as there were no special circumstances, this shedding process would be done within the Merpeople, so no one else would know.
The undergarments that Du Feng saw were all made from the skin of female merfolk. Considering that the customers who wore the undergarments were all female martial artists, the mermaid boss was very particular about the materials. As long as the female customers came to Brahma Sound Island, they would buy a few undergarments from her shop to take away.
Thinking about the leather hats, coats, and boots that humans wore, they were all made from animal skin. The process was much crueler than this. Hearing the mermaid boss's words, Du Feng felt that it made sense. Since they had already agreed, the next step was the matter of quantity and price.
Because there was currently no boss who had the courage to promote the undergarments outside of Brahma Sound Island, the mermaid boss gave a very favorable price. Du Feng was in a good mood and directly ordered 20,000 pieces. He told the mermaid boss to arrange for a tailor to make it first, and he would come to pick it up before he came to Brahma Sound Island.
As for the business, Du Feng had already thought about it. As a man, he would definitely not sell the undergarments himself. He could look for Situ Weiwei from Jiuqiao Pavilion to cooperate and set up a brand new shop. Then, he could arrange for some young and beautiful female employees to run the shop. This way, the female customers would not have to worry about spending money.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk … Brother Du, I really admire you."
Gu Xiaobei could be considered a person who had traveled far and wide, so he was quite bold in doing things. However, it was impossible for him to run an undergarments store. He was afraid that he would be scolded to death by male martial artists at any time, and he was also afraid of being criticized by his fellow villagers.
"You think too much. As long as there is demand, there will be a market. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
After Du Feng paid the deposit, the two of them continued to shop in the shell market. Then, they came to a weapon store. There were all kinds of weapons here. Basically, there were no regular weapons that were forged from metal. There were swords made from fish bones, breastplates made from turtle shells, and strong bows made from the tendons of sea beasts. They were all made from natural materials. They were only slightly modified on the outside before they were put on sale in the store.
Du Feng looked around and found that there were still a lot of good materials in the store. However, these weapons had a common flaw. They could not be repaired. If a sword forged from metal was chipped or broken, it could be repaired by smelting again. Weapons carved from these materials could not be repaired once they were broken. There was no weapon in the Four Great Continents that would like to break easily. At most, they would buy one to play with.
This kind of novel tourist product could not be sold in large quantities. Thus, Du Feng lost interest in it. Just as he was about to leave the weapon store, Du Tulong suddenly spoke.
"Wait, don't go."
"Behind the counter on the left, do you see that thing that was thrown on the ground? You must get it."
Because there were no life and death battles recently, Du Tulong had been sleeping and had not spoken for a long time. His sudden words almost scared Du Feng. Looking in the direction that Du Tulong pointed, he really did see a pitch-black thing that looked like a spear in the corner.
"What is that thing?"
Du Feng first picked a few cheap fish bone swords and then pretended to ask casually.
"Sigh, that thing is a long story."
