Yu Xiuyuan swiftly took out a storage bag and placed it on the counter. Mo Tiankong put it away with a wave of his hand.
"That's right," Mo Tiankong said.
After putting away the things, Yu Xiuyuan also said goodbye.
Mo Tiankong responded and turned back to continue collecting. Yu Xiuyuan's arrival was just a small interlude.
Looking at the warriors walking around the hall, Mo Tiankong fell into deep thought.
After the interface was updated, there was an additional authority, which was that he could recruit employees. Mo Tiankong originally wanted to ask Fatty Tang and the others, but he forgot when he came yesterday.
Now that he thought about it, if he told the two of them, they probably wouldn't come.
Zhang Tiannan and Fatty Tang didn't lack money. In a way, they each had to cultivate, and he didn't know how long the Prodigy Ranking would take.
In about half a month, the two of them would set off for the Imperial Capital. If they entered the top 100, they would still have to go to the Central Xuan Region. There were no teleportation arrays on this journey, so it would definitely take a long time to go back and forth.
Moreover, the two of them might not want to be employees in the grocery store. In any case, they were the direct descendants of one of the top families in Sentry Town. If they came here to be employees, the two families might not approve.
Although he wanted to give the two of them some benefits or something, they might be a little tired of looking at Fatty Tang every day. Zhang Tiannan was also a man.
There was another reason. Mo Tiankong felt that he still needed to recruit a girl. She wouldn't make a mistake when collecting the money carefully.
Of course, Mo Tiankong wouldn't admit that it was for the sake of eye candy. It would be even better if she could cook.
He could cook occasionally, but Auspicious wasn't. She surrounded him every day, so it would be even better if she could cook.
Moreover, the two men didn't fit Mo Tiankong's aesthetic and the style of the store. He should think about it again. He wasn't in a hurry now. In any case, the authority wouldn't run away.
After all, they were going to work together. Mo Tiankong felt that it was better to be cautious.
Mo Tiankong also had plans for the lottery ticket that he had not used yet.
First of all, it was time. It would be best to start selling every Monday. It was already Thursday this week, so it would be better to leave it until next week.
Every Saturday, Mo Tiankong had his own ideas about the prize, so he decided to use the items from the shop.
Mo Tiankong didn't know how many people would buy it the first time, so he didn't have a good item in mind. However, the first item shouldn't be too expensive.
The Ferghana Horse Card was about the same. If it was any more expensive, Mo Tiankong did not know if he could earn it back. He did not understand the market.
After all, this item wasn't sold by the shop. The cost of the reward item was borne by Mo Tiankong.
The lottery ticket would definitely be used to earn spirit stones, but it wouldn't be too bad. The shop's image was still important, and Store Manager Mo's image was also important.
Take the Ferghana Horse Card for example. It was worth five thousand spirit stones. Mo Tiankong planned to sell ten thousand lottery tickets at one spirit stone each. The price was very low. As long as he sold five thousand tickets, he would be able to earn back the cost. The rest would be profit.
This was still the early stage. He didn't understand the market and didn't know if he could attract these warriors to buy it. Therefore, he wanted to try it out first.
If the effect was good, then when more warriors bought it, he could use more valuable items as rewards.
If he could sell a few hundred thousand lottery tickets, then there was a chance that the Inheritance Pearl would be used as a grand prize. The grand prize was worth two hundred thousand spirit stones. If he spent one spirit stone to buy a lottery ticket, he would have a chance to win it.
Mo Tiankong definitely wouldn't buy it. On Earth, he had never won a lottery ticket. But here, it was different. The grand prize would definitely be won. The key was to control the cost. Then, Mo Tiankong would be able to make a profit.
Moreover, Mo Tiankong had the opportunity to receive free items every week. When the number of people who bought it increased, even the Five Elements Marbles could be used as a grand prize. In any case, for Mo Tiankong, it was free. He didn't have to spend any money. Instead, he could make a profit.
However, cheaper items like the Thousand Island Lake Beer and the Ferghana Horse Card were still enough to buy with spirit stones. After all, the opportunity to receive free items was still very precious.
If items worth more than one hundred thousand spirit stones could be received for free, then it wouldn't be a loss.
Moreover, for more valuable items, Mo Tiankong could also adjust the price of each lottery ticket. Five spirit stones for one ticket, ten spirit stones for one ticket. After a few people had tasted the sweetness, they would still be able to spend more.
Unless there were a lot of people in the beginning, then it wouldn't matter if it was cheaper. However, the current situation was hard to say.
It was also possible that no one would buy it. Or, he could use the Ferghana Horse Card as the grand prize for the first time. If only 1,000 tickets were sold, and there wasn't a single winning ticket among them.
If the grand prize wasn't won, then the trust level would drop. Moreover, it would be hard to explain.
How would he explain it to people? If he said that there was definitely a winning ticket among the remaining 9,000 tickets, who would believe him?
Therefore, he had to consider it carefully for the first time. Thinking about it this way, Mo Tiankong felt that it was a bit inappropriate to use the Ferghana Horse Card for the first time. He didn't want to mess it up.
Next time, no one would believe him. What was he going to use for the first time? The Thousand Island Lake Beer seemed a bit bad. After all, it was his first time. Was he going to lose money first?
Forget it, he didn't want to think about it anymore. He would see when the time came. According to Mo Tiankong's plan, he was going to implement it next Monday. He would decide then. This was a long-term business.
Now, Mo Tiankong's source of Spirit Stones was a bit too simple. He only had the weekly items and the rental of the Gatling Gun. Lottery items had also become an important item.
If he operated it well, he could earn Spirit Stones much faster than the Gatling Gun. After all, there weren't many people renting the Gatling Gun now. Mo Tiankong was even considering taking it off the shelves.
The main characteristic of the Gatling Gun was that it was a group weapon. It wasn't as useful as the Tang Sword in normal situations. The Tang Sword was a single-target weapon and didn't cost Spirit Stones.
The lethality of the Gatling Gun was limited. Even if it kept hitting the same spot, it was still limited for a Martial King Realm martial artist.
After all, a Martial King Realm martial artist could communicate with the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth and recover quickly. After their Yuan Qi was exhausted, they could still use their mental power. During this time, if the opponent attacked you, it was enough to seriously injure you.
This was also under the situation where the opponent's cultivation was the same. If the opponent's cultivation was lower, then using the Gatling Gun would be courting death. It probably wouldn't even take a few shots.
Although it was an Earth Grade weapon, its power was constant. It wasn't determined by the strength of the user.
When he was renovating the shop, Mo Tiankong had specially built a display window. However, the rental situation of the Gatling Gun was still not satisfactory. Until now, only Mad Lion had rented it.
It could be rented three times. The first time was to exterminate a group of monsters, the second time was to cause a sea monster riot, and the last time was to use it in a dangerous place.
However, Mo Tiankong didn't have anything good to put up. The Great Xia Dragonfinch was a Heaven Grade weapon, but it was one of Mo Tiankong's trump cards.
If he rented it, Mo Tiankong might not be able to use it temporarily. Moreover, if the rental price was set too high, not many people could afford it.
A Heaven Grade weapon couldn't be rented at a cheap price. There was also another one that he didn't really need. Who would he want to kill if he rented a Heaven Grade weapon?
Mo Tiankong didn't think that there would be a big demand for it, so there was no need to rent it.
As for the Gatling Gun, he would leave it in the display window for now. When he found a suitable item, he would replace it. Mo Tiankong couldn't think of anything that could replace it.
There were only some spatial rings and storage bags in his spatial backpack. There were also some cigarettes and other items. His foundation was still a little weak. There wasn't anything good.
Cigarettes were barely considered a good item because they were consumables. Every time one was used, there would be one less. Furthermore, this was Mo Tiankong's trump card. Currently, only Yu Xiuyuan had one.
Mo Tiankong didn't know if he had used it or not. He really couldn't bear to spend Spirit Stones on items. Thus, he gave one out as a congratulatory gift.
The main thing was that although Yu Xiuyuan was older than Mo Tiankong, his character was still very simple. En, he was a bit like Zhang Tiannan in the past. Otherwise, Mo Tiankong wouldn't have given out such a valuable item.
In the past, Mo Tiankong didn't feel the value of this item. He even had the thought of selling it. However, after many delays, he forgot about it.
Now that he thought about it, he wouldn't sell it. First, the price was too high. The introduction of the cigarette said that it was ineffective for Martial Emperors and above. That meant that Martial Emperors could still use it. If a Rank Nine Martial Emperor used it, that would be a Rank Nine Martial Emperor, close to the strength of a Martial Saint.
If he used it well, Mo Tiankong felt that this thing was too heaven-defying. Luckily, there was a limit. He could only use it for a quarter of an hour. However, a Peak Martial Emperor could do a lot of things in a quarter of an hour.
Another was that it wasn't easy to set a price. Based on its value, it wouldn't be difficult to sell it for a sky-high price. Not to mention, it wasn't just one but many.
Finally, there were no side effects. After the increase in strength disappeared, there wouldn't be a period of weakness. He could still use his own strength.
Thinking about it this way, Mo Tiankong was a bit reluctant to use it. It would be a waste to use it now. It would be best to use it when he reached the Martial Saint realm.
Then, Mo Tiankong thought about Chi Hu. Why did he come to kill him? How many Spirit Stones did he waste? He was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
If he took it out to sell, there would be a lot of people fighting to buy it.
It would be fine if Yan Li didn't take revenge on him. However, if he still dared to send people, Mo Tiankong would personally end him since he dared to kill Imperial Capital. He would also ask for compensation from Yan Qing.
If he didn't give it to him, he would blacklist him. When he reached the Martial Saint realm, he would go to Imperial Capital and beat Yan Qing up.
Mo Tiankong was gnashing his teeth in hatred. He didn't feel heartache for himself but for the Spirit Stones. The key point was that Chi Hu was so poor that it made one's hair stand on end. There was nothing in his spatial ring.
However, Mo Tiankong wasn't too sure about Yan Qing's cultivation. However, if he dared to go there when he just reached the Martial Saint realm, he would definitely be beaten up.
