"Why did you buy so much juice?"
Kitty Gutaya asked her attendant to place the 23 bottles of Sin Cola on the table.
In her eyes, this kind of useless drink was no different from the fruit juice and milk in the tavern. Noland didn't have many spell casters who liked to go to taverns.
"Didn't you see the advertisement?"
The Spell Caster said as he opened another can of Sin Coke. He looked at the can in his hand carefully, and after confirming that there were no patterns on it, he gulped down the Sin Coke in his hand with mixed feelings.
"Advertisement?"
Gutaya's alchemy shop didn't have a television, but her shop was opposite the headquarters of the Black Pigeon News Agency. The windows of the nearly five-storey building formed a television projection.
She walked straight to the door of the alchemy shop. Just as she was about to open the door to see what kind of advertisement was displayed, the door was pushed open again. This time, it was a young human girl who walked in.
The servant beside Gutaya was about to welcome her warmly, but the door was pushed open again before the girl could close it.
"Welcome, two …" Before the servant could finish, the third customer walked in without even pushing the door open. "Three …"
The servant's greeting seemed to be stuck in his throat. The third customer was followed by a fourth. Just as he was about to see if there was a fifth customer, the door was finally closed.
"Welcome, four customers. What do you have …"
The servant heaved a sigh of relief, but in the next moment, the door was pushed open again.
There was a bell hanging on the door of the alchemy shop. From the moment the second customer entered, the bell didn't stop ringing, until the entire shop was so crowded that no one could stand inside.
Gutaya's first thought upon seeing this scene was that her enemy had brought people to cause trouble!
However, this method of smashing the place was a little too impolite. Everyone rushed in like a swarm of bees.
"Do you have Sin Cola here?"
The first girl stated her purpose, and the others who came in with her also asked the same question.
Gutaya felt a headache when she heard this. The alchemy shop wasn't big, but there were close to 30 people standing in it. Judging from the crowd outside, there were still people who wanted to enter the shop.
What exactly was this Karma Cola? Could it be that all of Noland's spellcasters have been poisoned by some sort of 'you'll die if you don't have cola to drink' poison?
"Yes, of course they are for sale."
The attendant in the shop said subconsciously. Immediately after, the customers in the shop suddenly became a little restless.
"Boss, hurry up and give me one!"
"Me too!"
The crowd instantly squeezed forward, and the attendant in charge of selling goods was instantly scared silly by this scene.
"Line up properly! You're the second, the third, and the fourth is you! "
At this moment, Gutaya displayed her outstanding talent as an orc, which was her loud voice. Her majestic roar suppressed the chatter in the shop.
The spellcasters also lined up in front of the counter. This was probably a phenomenon unique to Noland.
In this world where knowledge was power, if one wanted to find one or two vulgar boorish fellows in Noland, one would have to go to a place like the Mercenary Guild.
Gutaya remembered the order in which every customer entered. After they formed a long line, the human girl who entered first immediately took out a gold coin and placed it on the table.
"Give me a whole crate!" she said.
"We only have two and a half crates here …"
Gutaya's face instantly darkened when she heard the girl speak like a nouveau riche … The reason was that she was starting to regret not listening to Qianmian's advice.
If she had known that this Karma Cola would sell so well, she would have used all her belongings to buy a whole cart of goods. No … she would have bought as much as she could!
However, it was too late for regrets now. When the spellcasters at the back heard that Gutaya only had two and a half crates in stock, a portion of them at the end of the line immediately left. However, there were still many who stayed in the shop, looking very impatient.
When they heard that the little girl wanted to buy an entire crate, even the spellcasters who stayed in line showed signs of impatience.
"Everyone is limited to two bottles for now."
Gutaya gritted her teeth and made this decision. When she knew that this group of spellcasters wanted to buy the Karma Cola, she really had the urge to raise the price and auction it off.
However, this was a violation of the rules, and rules were the foundation of her survival in Squirrel Street.
"Why! I can pay! "
The little girl raised the gold coin in her hand, unable to understand Gutaya's actions.
"Two bottles! Six copper coins … I won't sell it no matter how much you pay, "Gutaya said to her sternly.
This was for the little girl's own good. Gutaya couldn't be sure if the spellcasters at the back of the line were good people.
Although she didn't know that the demand for the Karma Cola would become so great, who knew if anyone would think of robbing this little girl if she carried an entire crate of the Karma Cola out by herself.
In the end, she compromised with Gutaya and unwillingly took out six copper coins and placed them on the table. She then took two bottles of Karma Cola to the side.
"Next!"
Gutaya shouted to the line at the back.
This orderly sale continued for around ten minutes, but the length of the alchemy shop's queue grew longer and longer.
"Apologies, these are the last two bottles."
Gutaya handed the two bottles of Karma Cola to a spellcaster and shouted to the customers in the long queue.
"If you want to buy it, you can come back tonight or tomorrow!"
Gutaya looked at the spellcasters in front of the counter who weren't willing to leave, and finally tasted the pain of her heart bleeding.
She also sent someone to ask if Qianmian had any more stock, but Qianmian's reply was that it might only be available at night or in the afternoon.
In the end, she sent off the spellcasters in the shop, and at the same time, she used a wooden sign to write "Karma Cola is sold out" outside the door.
Only then did the alchemy shop become much more deserted.
"Sigh …"
Gutaya looked at the huge pile of copper coins in the drawer and sighed. Not long after she sighed, another three copper coins appeared on the table.
"I said it's sold out …" Gutaya looked at the customer impatiently, and discovered that it was a little boy with a dirty face.
"Aunt Gutaya, do you still have that Karma Cola?" he asked.
"Hai Lan, why did you spend money to buy this?"
Gutaya recognized the boy. She looked at the boy's attire. He was wearing patched clothes, and there was a loose satchel hanging in front of him. There was a stack of newspapers inside.
This was a newspaper boy hired by the Black Pigeon Chamber of Commerce. There were also slums in Noland, and Squirrel Street was Noland's slums.
