Pregnant Cultivator, Doted by Big Boss-Chapter 51 - 49: A Crazy Profit of 2 Billion Spirit Stones in Three Days
Fortunately, the sales locations everywhere were large and spacious. Otherwise, they really wouldn’t have been able to accommodate the incoming crowds.
In all the shops under the Bloodfiend Den’s banner, everyone was bustling with activity. There wasn’t a single moment to rest.
Too many people were scrambling to buy phones.
They were all going wild for them.
"Everyone who’s bought a phone, come over here to get your card! We have disciples here who will activate it for you, let you test it out, and ensure everything is perfect before we hand it over."
The Bloodfiend Den disciples were so busy, they felt like their hands were about to catch fire from moving so fast.
They had a feeling business would be good when they first started using these phones themselves, but they never expected it to be *this* good. They were so busy they felt like they’d sprouted extra arms.
Their hands were cramping up from collecting so many Spirit Stones.
They were making a killing. They were absolutely raking it in.
It was just as the Family Head had said.
They were truly filling up sacks of Spirit Stones, one after another. They were making an absolute fortune!
In the Cultivation World, whether one practices standard Cultivation or Devil Cultivation, Spirit Stones are indispensable. Spirit Stones can be used in Cultivation to raise one’s cultivation level. They can also be used for all sorts of transactions. Even those whose Cultivation methods don’t require Spirit Stones can use them to trade for other Cultivation Resources.
There are two types of Spirit Stones.
One type is the Demon Spirit Stone.
The other is the Immortal Spirit Stone.
Spirit Stones are the universal currency of the Cultivation World.
You can go anywhere and exchange Demon Spirit Stones for Immortal Spirit Stones, or Immortal Spirit Stones for Demon Spirit Stones.
Immortal Spirit Stones are suited for those on the path of Cultivation, while Demon Spirit Stones are for those who practice Devil Cultivation. Both are invaluable Cultivation Resources.
"Our Family Head said."
"Any customer who buys a phone within these three days will receive one free Energy Spirit Card. This energy card provides the energy element that powers the phone. It’s very complex to refine, which is why it normally costs extra. But what if you run out of the energy element? Don’t worry. You can go to any of the Bloodfiend Den’s phone retail locations to recharge."
Another disciple quickly added, "That’s right! Under normal circumstances, a single recharge will power your phone for two months and only costs five Spirit Stones. Of course, if you’re well-off, a yearly plan is the best deal—you’ll get two months of energy element for free. Our Family Head calls this ’topping up’."
Even they were impressed.
’The Family Head is a genius for coming up with a way to fleece the customers like this.’
’From now on, as long as people want to keep using their phones, they’ll have to keep topping up. If they don’t, the phones won’t work! HAHAHAHA!’
’Okay, so we have to top up too, but our benefits are different. Disciples of the Bloodfiend Den get phones for half price, top up for half price, and if we get a yearly plan, we get another year for free.’
’So it really doesn’t cost many Spirit Stones. Even the lowest-ranking disciples can afford one.’
’The Family Head is so good to us disciples. She thinks of us in everything she does.’
At that thought, they felt an instant urge to pledge their undying loyalty to the Family Head. For disciples like them, joining a Sect like this was already a great fortune.
"Those of you who got a phone, tell your family and friends to hurry if they want one! The free card promotion is only for these three days, so don’t miss out! Afterward, you’ll have to spend an extra five Spirit Stones for an Energy Spirit Card, and your phone won’t work without it."
"We know, we know! We heard you already! Just give me the phone, and sign me up for a yearly plan!"
"Yeah, how do you activate this thing?"
"A drop of blood to verify your identity, and it’s activated. That way, even if you lose your phone and someone else picks it up, it’s useless without an infusion of your personal Spiritual Power."
"Wow, that’s amazing! Excellent, that’s a great feature."
"Next..."
"My turn!"
"Don’t rush, there’s enough for everyone! Don’t push!"
"If you have your phone, move to the side to activate it... Everyone, stay in line..."
Throughout the day, the people from the Righteous Immortal Sects merely watched from the sidelines, not a single one of them purchasing a phone.
Every one of them was waiting for the Bloodfiend Den to make a fool of itself. They figured that as long as the members of their Immortal Sects boycotted the product, these contraptions made by Demon Cultivators would never sell.
What they hadn’t expected, however, was that it wasn’t just Demon Cultivators buying them. Even Loose Cultivators, members of various Cultivator Noble Houses, and people from the Cultivator Dynasties were all going wild for them.
The members of the Immortal Sects who had been watching were practically choking on their rage.
"They’re insane! So ignorant, daring to buy things made by Demon Cultivators."
"We will absolutely not buy one! Inform all disciples that no one is permitted to purchase them. We wouldn’t take something from a Demon Cultivator even if it were free...!"
However, regardless of their boycott, there was a massive crowd of people who wanted to buy one.
And those who bought one all said how great it was after using it. They even dragged their friends and family to buy one too.
"This phone is so practical!"
"And it’s only 99 Spirit Stones!"
"I know, right? To think it was developed by Demon Cultivators. How did those Righteous Immortal Sects never come up with something like this?"
"The standard version is already sold out. Now the store only has the 999-Spirit-Stone model left, which is the one I got. But I have to say, it feels much better in your hand than the 99-Spirit-Stone one..."
"Five Glories Immortal City is sold out! We need a restock!"
"Flowing Cloud Celestial City is sold out! We need a restock!"
"Quick, report to the elder! All locations in The Umbralflame Domain are sold out! We need a restock!"
"Restock...!"
Even the people scrambling to buy phones could hear these frantic cries.
「At the Bloodfiend Den headquarters.」
Elder Lawson and the others were stamping documents so fast their seals were practically smoking.
"Stop rushing us! The shipments are going out!"
It wasn’t just the elders.
The disciples on the assembly line, refining the phones, felt like they were about to collapse from exhaustion.
’I can’t go on.’
’I really can’t...’
Elder Warren came by on inspection and announced, "Everyone, push yourselves! We need to refine another million phones within three days! The demand is enormous; many locations are already sold out and need more stock. The Family Head has said that she will give you all bonuses at the end of the month!"
"Yes, Elder!"
In an instant, the phone production line lit up with the brilliant colors of various Magic arts...
「Three days later.」
Celeste Grant, Elder Lawson, and the others were gathered together, going over the accounts.
Seeing the final figures, every one of them sucked in a sharp breath. Perhaps even they hadn’t expected to earn quite so much.
Nerida gasped.
"This much? Two billion Spirit Stones in three days, and that’s *after* deducting costs! That’s almost as much as the Bloodfiend Den’s total Spirit Stone income for the past decade!"
Nerida’s thoughts drifted back to when the Family Head, heavily pregnant, had found The Exalted One. At the time, Nerida had only brought her back to the Den on the principle of never letting a single opportunity slip by.
’Looking back, it was a truly wise decision,’ she thought.
Only a woman of such beauty and talent could be worthy of their Exalted One, worthy of being the Family Head of the Bloodfiend Den.
"As expected of our Family Head! You’re incredible."
Celeste Grant gave a faint smile.
She raised a hand motioning for calm.
"Let’s be modest, Nerida. This is just the beginning. The majority of this first wave of buyers are from The Demonic Sects. There are some Loose Cultivators and ordinary Cultivators, too... but The Seven Great Celestial Sects have yet to make a move."
"Family Head, will they really buy them?"
Celeste Grant laughed.
"Oh, they will. There’s a saying: ’keep up with the times.’ If they don’t buy, they’ll fall behind. They’ll miss out on a lot of information. If a Sect wants to grow and prosper, it has to adapt to the market."
"Have the disciples continue business as usual. In seven days, at most, we’ll be able to fleece another flock of sheep."
A sinister smile spread across her face at the thought.
Nerida: "..."
’Our Family Head has such a devious smile,’
’She and The Exalted One are starting to look more and more like a married couple.’
’It just goes to show, birds of a feather really do flock together.’
