Chapter 154: Liu Ming’s Desire
“Alright, you all buy a bottle then! However, I can only give you a fifty percent discount on the price, that’s the rule.”
Song Tiantian still had quite a bit of stock left. The cost price for Cold Fragrance Number Two was not low, and one million was already very cheap.
If these people bought a second bottle, it would be ten million. Even with Song Tiantian giving them a fifty percent discount, it would still be five million.
This was definitely a massive profit.
You have to understand, selling Cold Fragrance Number Two for one million was already considered a cabbage price, but many families couldn’t afford even that one million, which was why there was so much stock.
Even if Cold Fragrance Number Two could be bought with a loan, what about the pet beasts? Loan them too?
Currently, the official channels would periodically restock Cold Fragrance Number One for Song Tiantian, but Cold Fragrance Number Two was no longer being restocked, clearly indicating that the officials also had inventory.
“Actually, I’ve bought Cold Fragrance Number Two elsewhere before, but I feel that the Cold Fragrance Number Two from Tiantian Pet Beast Center is more authentic. Perhaps it’s because Cold Fragrance Number Two was researched by you.”
Jiang Su had taken Cold Fragrance Number Two from another vendor before. Besides tasting awful, it had no effect whatsoever.
Although the Cold Fragrance Number Two sold by Song Tiantian tasted awful and the subsequent amplification was minimal, it still provided a slight, albeit weak, improvement.
The Pet Beast Medical Center had been incredibly busy lately because the City Guard was rotating shifts.
The City Guard operated on a system of rotating shifts, with monthly leave. Unless there was an urgent battle, this was how they rested.
If they worked one day and had one day off, it would be easy for them to become complacent, making them less prepared in combat.
With monthly rotations, they would be in a combat-ready state when entering the battlefield.
When they left the battlefield, they would have accumulated enough combat experience and resources, allowing them to seize this time for closed-door cultivation to increase their strength.
Basically, most second-generation rich Beast Tamers with some backing who wanted to achieve something would join the City Guard.
You must understand that the scions of noble families would join the City Guard to fight.
The resources exchanged for military merits were far greater than people imagined.
Qingshan City absolutely could not maintain such peace relying solely on the Enforcement Team.
The Enforcement Team usually dealt with lone fierce beasts. For packs of fierce beasts, it was primarily the City Guard that fought them.
It was currently the shift change period, so business at the Pet Beast Medical Department was exceptionally good; they were practically overwhelmed.
Jiang Su and his group were not in a hurry. They rented a few guest rooms here, planning to wait their turn for their pet beasts to be treated. Moreover, they also needed to take Cold Fragrance Number Two and cultivate here.
Song Tiantian didn’t stay with Jiang Su and his group for too long; Song Tiantian also needed to cultivate.
······
Today was Liu Ming’s scheduled day off. He was helping out at his parents’ shop.
Their family ran a noodle shop, mainly selling soup noodles and similar dishes. These were not expensive, costing only a little over ten yuan per bowl.
Not everyone who came to the Pet Beast Center was wealthy, and there were also many employees. Therefore, Liu Ming’s family business had always been good, doing well since its opening.
To be honest, before, his mother worked as a nanny at Song Tiantian’s house. Although they were relatives and Mother Song had taken care of their family, it was certainly not as comfortable and at ease as it was now.
Now, their entire family felt that the future was full of hope.
Liu Ming had even gone out to hunt fierce beasts with Song Ranran before.
Then, a bowl of noodles made with fierce beast meat could be sold for over a hundred yuan, a tenfold increase, and many people ate it.
Three thin slices of meat would float on the soup.
Ordinary people couldn’t eat too much fierce beast meat.
Just one small slice was enough; eating more would lead to an inability to absorb the benefits.
However, Beast Tamers could eat it daily to increase their stamina and accelerate their cultivation.
There were many Beast Tamers in the park now. As soon as these people saved enough money, their first priority was to buy Cold Fragrance Number Two, followed by contracting a pet beast. Pet beasts could be contracted with a loan, and employees could even get interest-free loans.
However, to prevent loopholes, each person could only loan one pet beast interest-free, with a zero down payment.
This made many people very tempted.
Everyone knew now that only Beast Tamers would be in demand in the future.
Therefore, everyone wanted to become a Beast Tamer.
However, after becoming a Beast Tamer, one would want to increase their strength and become a Two-star Beast Tamer. Liu Ming was no exception.
Song Jun and Song Jing, who had entered the Fierce Beast Secret Realm with Song Tiantian before, had both broken through and become Two-star Beast Tamers. Only Liu Ming had not yet broken through, and he was a bit anxious.
The resources in his space were almost depleted.
Ever since he had made a quick fortune once, he found it hard to be satisfied with wages of two or three yuan and other side incomes.
Liu Ming desperately wished he could enter a secret realm with Song Tiantian again. To achieve this, he practiced his knife skills diligently in his home kitchen every day.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t even see Song Tiantian now.
Liu Ming had also approached Song Jun and Song Jing a few times about this. They stated that currently, to earn extra money, they could only go out with Song Ranran.
Going out with Song Ranran, hunting fierce beasts once, was hard work, and the income was at most tens of thousands of yuan. Such income was too little.
Liu Ming also sounded out Song Ranran.
Song Ranran mentioned that Song Tiantian was currently being targeted by ghosts and could not leave the Pet Beast Center. If she left, she was easily attacked. She had been attacked once before.
Liu Ming also began to hate the ghosts, finding them extremely detestable.
【Ding! System loading! 】
A voice suddenly sounded in Liu Ming’s mind.
System?
He had seen anti-ghost propaganda flyers before. He was terrified, wondering if he had been targeted by ghosts.
But this was the Pet Beast Center; ghosts couldn’t get in. How could he be invaded by a ghost?
He knew the consequences of being invaded by a ghost.
Even Luo Zhe, a Seven-star Beast Tamer, couldn’t withstand it. How could he, a mere nobody, resist?
No, he had to tell Song Ranran. Song Ranran would definitely contact Song Tiantian, and only Song Tiantian could save him.
“No one who has been invaded by a ghost has ever survived. They are all in cold laboratories, tied to cold iron beds, with their skulls opened.
Are you sure you want to tell others and have them tie you up?”
Liu Ming hesitated.
He was scared.
People are afraid of death.
Currently, no one who has been invaded by a ghost has successfully survived.
Even if they survived for a short period, they died later.
Liu Ming regretted it. He shouldn’t have gone out with Song Ranran and the others. He didn’t earn much money, and now a ghost had entered his body.
He felt it must have been during their last outing that the ghost found an opening.
“What do you want? Please let me go! My talent is very poor, and my soul doesn’t taste good at all.”
Liu Ming begged the ghost.
