Chapter 121 - 118: God-level Marketing
Although the lifespan extension provided by this tea was limited, for anyone who didn’t want to die, even an extra second would be desirable.
“Unlock the exchange permissions for these three types of seed,” Finn Lewis contemplated briefly before making up his mind.
“Unlock completed,” Zero’s voice quickly responded. Finn checked the screen and quickly located the three exchangeable seed types. However, even the most affordable Nightingale Tea seeds required as much as 15,000 points per seed. The points for the Clear-Hearted Tea and Cloud Mist Tea were 20,000 and 25,000 respectively.
Finn only had 26,000 points. Having just unlocked the exchange permissions for the three seed types, he was now left with only 23,000. Just as he was about to exchange for a Nightingale Tea seed, something dawned on him. “Holy moly, I hope the planting requirements for these…shouldn’t be too restrictive?” Finn suddenly realized something crucial.
Something as life-prolonging as this should be considered an extraordinarily rare gem, right? Normally, the environment needed for such things to grow is highly demanding. Surely there wouldn’t be too stringent requirements on this one. After all, they do not originate from Earth. If he’d unlocked the permission but had nowhere to plant them, that would be a waste of time, wouldn’t it?
“No, as long as the environment isn’t like that of the moon, it should be fine. These plants can absorb some naturally occurring energies and store them within their leaves. Each year, a portion of their leaves fall off, and the energy condensed within those fallen leaves is beneficial to humans. It can be consumed directly like tea. More refined methods of absorption don’t exist here,” Zero, as always, was to the point.
Finn ignored Zero’s last sentence. It was enough to know that these could be planted on Earth. However, he had to secure a piece of land for his own use first; it wouldn’t bode well if others discovered this tea.
“Exchange three portions of tea, one of each kind,” Finn decided to exhaust the three remaining regular lucky draw chances he had. He didn’t need anything else at the moment. Most of the objects were too advanced, and downloading them could result in unnecessary trouble. However, this tea was different. As long as Finn didn’t disclose its extraordinary functions, no one would covet it.
Yet, this could still earn Finn points. If previously he thought 100,000 for a pot of tea was expensive, he now considered whether it was too cheap instead.
Soon, Finn completed the exchanges, leaving him with 22,700 points. He decided not to touch these points for now. Initially, he thought 1,000 points would be sufficient. However, he soon realized the more points he had, the more he felt he didn’t have enough. Evidently, making money was the priority!
Looking left and right confirming no one was around, Finn immediately asked Zero to produce the one-kilogram box of Nightingale Tea. The high-end purple wooden box quickly materialized on the table before him. Once opened, it revealed the Nightingale Tea within. Finn was somewhat taken aback when he saw the tea.
It was stunning. The leaves appeared to be curled up and were of a pale purple color, with faint white patterns etched across them. Gazing upon them was a feast for the eyes. Moreover, the leaves were in perfect condition. A light, refreshing aroma wafted from the box. Just catching a whiff of it seemed to rejuvenate Finn.
Simply by smelling it, Finn was sure that when brewed, the taste would be nothing less than the specially supplied Lunar Tea! Considering this, he started to daydream about the legendary marketing story his was about to create.
He asked Zero to return the tea to his storage space for now. As Finn still didn’t have a place to plant the alien tea leaves, he decided not to sell it in his shop just yet. Not until he’d found a suitable place to grow them could he bring the teas to market.
“Young Master, we’ve finished dealing with it.” Just as Finn stored away the tea,
Fishy Wells and the others walked in and reported. Finn nodded and asked
about the situation outside: “The police didn’t say anything?”
“No, it was the fault of those guys in the first place. No one had a problem with it, including the police. But you instructed us to donate money to them, right? The police officer in charge left his phone number and said if such things happened again, we should just call him. They would take care of it promptly,” Fishy Wells answered.
Finn nodded. This was to be expected. Having donated 200,000, they would undoubtedly ensure that nobody caused trouble around here. Though if people like Archer Tyson came to make a scene, as happened today, the police wouldn’t have much effect. Even though Archer’s sister Leah, too, was a police officer, it was clear that these officers weren’t influenced by her. Finn didn’t have Zero investigate Leah’s background, but he suspected it wasn’t simple. Otherwise, Archer wouldn’t have been so arrogant.
While Finn was mulling over Archer and Leah Tyson’s situation, the Tyson siblings were likewise contemplating Finn. “Tell me honestly, what happened today?” Leah Tyson stood before the five young men, her face expressionless, questioning them about the incident. Their wounds had just been treated and they all looked miserable.
The five men looked at each other and all dropped their heads, none daring to speak. Seeing their silence, Leah Tyson turned to the two girls nearby. “You two, talk.” It had been these two girls who called Leah, one of them being Archer’s girlfriend.
“Sis, the entire matter might be my fault today, but, I was drunk, right? But was it necessary for that bastard to bash me up this badly? No one has ever beaten me like this! I don’t care, it’s either Celeston City has me or him!” Archer raised his head abruptly, looking at Leah as he retorted.
“Dare to talk back? Answer me, did you mention dad’s name today?” Leah glared at Archer, her voice stern.
“No, I didn’t,” Upon hearing this, Archer instantly ducked his head, answering timidly..
