Chapter 263: Chapter 263 - Building A Supermarket In The Underworld

Lin Ye looked straight at the two fox girls.

Well, the twins looked 97% alike!

As for the remaining 3%…

Mm, the data seemed small but it was fatal.

The big sister, Xiao Nuan, had a gentle and virtuous personality. She looked like Sona from League of Legends with her 36D assets.

As for her sister, Xiao Bing, who was as cold as an iceberg, was very calm and had the aura of a princess who had conquered the world.

“Xiao Nuan, Xiao Bing?”

Lin Ye spoke one after another, “I didn’t recognize wrongly, did I?”

“No, it’s very correct. The lord is very good at remembering people.”

Xiao Nuan narrowed her eyes and revealed a fox-like smile.

“Quite impressive. To be able to recruit us two sisters so early, the lord should be among the top ten in all aspects.”

Xiao Bing said with a hint of admiration.

“I guess.” Lin Ye smiled, not showing off his rank as the world’s number one.

The effect of bragging about such things was often not as convincing as others discovering it themselves.

He believed that as long as they stayed in the territory for more than ten minutes, they would understand.

“He’s really in the top ten. Looks like us sisters have found a good boss.”

A bright smile appeared on Xiao Nuan’s beautiful face as she said warmly, “My lord, before you recruited us, you must have already understood the greatest use of our fox clan. We are in business and trade. In that case, you can tell me what plans you have for the future and I will help you plan it all out.”

“The market in the surface world is limited now. I want to take root in the Underworld first and establish a few large supermarkets in the major cities…”

As Lin Ye was excitedly preparing to talk about his future prospects, Xiao Bing quickly interrupted him and questioned him.

“My lord, could you explain what a supermarket is?”

“Oh yes, I forgot that you two are not from Earth and don’t know about this.”

Lin Ye smiled apologetically and explained, “Supermarkets refer to shops where goods are openly displayed for customers to purchase. Customers choose their own products and line up to collect payment. Supermarkets tend to sell fresh fruits and daily necessities. They are the upsized version of minimarts in the Underworld.”

“I see.” Xiao Nuan nodded, not fully understanding. She frowned and said, “In the past few seasons, there were humans from other civilizations who opened similar shops, but without exception, they lost everything.”

“How could this be?” Lin Ye was surprised.

“The Underworld is complicated. The culture and customs of every city are different. Some of the good things in the lord’s eyes are not necessarily suitable for every city and every race. For example, the Battle Race in the north produces spicy starfish which are popular in the north, but when these goods enter the major cities in the south, no one would buy them. If one doesn’t eat spicy food, no matter how delicious the meat is, it’s useless…” Xiao Bing’s expression was calm, as if she was not optimistic about Lin Ye’s supermarket proposal.

“We’re not talking about the same thing.” Lin Ye covered his head. He understood what Xiao Bing and Xiao Nuan meant.

After some thought, he couldn’t be bothered to explain. Facts spoke louder than words. “Wait, I’ll show you the entire inventory of the goods from my Nine States’ supermarket. After looking at it, you’ll understand what a real divine product that’s cheap and has good quality is.”

“Oh? My lord is so confident, I’m interested.” Xiao Nuan smiled.

Xiao Bing also looked over curiously.

A genius powerhouse who could enter the top ten of the human world was definitely not someone who only knew how to brag.

Whoosh—

In an instant, Lin Ye opened the Reputation Shop.

Currently, his reputation points was as high as 104 million, enough to sweep all the goods in the current Reputation Shop.

“By the way, what is the most popular item in the Underworld?” Lin Ye asked as he searched through the goods.

“That’s a big difference. The items that are popular at all ages are different.”

“Firstly, let’s divide them between men and women. For men, the mainstream consumer group is between the ages of 15 to 100. At this age, they are considered to be in their prime in the Underworld. They are brave and ruthless. Therefore, they are very interested in various weapons, equipment, strategic resources, and cultivation techniques. Once high-level equipment appears, it can often be sold for a sky-high price…”

“Next would be boys under the age of 15. Those in this segment shouldn’t be underestimated. Novels, toys, food, and other items are the most popular…”

“There’s basically no need to consider male customers above 100. Other than a few old guys with special hobbies, they are basically all old monsters who are in seclusion all year round.”

“On the other side, women are considered big spendthrifts. Their views on shopping are the same across all ages. It’s no exaggeration to say that the hobbies of five-year-olds and old demons who are tens of thousands of years old are no different. Even if they are, it would only be because they have a different preference when it comes to their color selection.”

“As for popular products amongst them, at the top would naturally be the variety of beautifying items. Next would be pretty clothes and luxurious accessories… There are also some newly-promoted noble families and some with abnormal shopping standards. As long as what you sell it’s the most expensive and luxurious, you can make a lot of money from this small consumer group segment as well.”

As Xiao Nuan spoke, she handed a piece of paper to Lin Ye to take a look at their sales from last season.

What a good fellow. A bottle of beauty nourishing cream could actually be sold for 100 Level 5 Body Strengthening Pills. A well-designed noble outfit actually had a bid of 200 Level 6 Spirit Cleansing Pills. A crystal heart pendant made by some master was auctioned for more than 10,000 top-grade spirit stones…

“I’m going to be rich!” Lin Ye secretly swallowed.

He immediately searched for snow cream, sunscreen, bb cream, eye shadow, foundation powder, lipstick, and so on in the Reputation Shop.

Everything was swept by him.

Soon, a large number of makeup items appeared out of thin air in front of them.

“What are these things?” Xiao Nuan and Xiao Bing curiously picked them up and looked at them.

“I’ll get someone to tell you guys later.”

Lin Ye immediately used Mind Possession to communicate with Zhang Bao’er and Chu Meng. “Come to the recruitment hall quickly!”

“Oh, sure!”

Zhang Bao’er and Chu Meng were still taking turns teaching the citizens of the Underworld.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But when they heard Lin Ye’s voice, they could only nod hurriedly.

Then, they said to the hundreds of people from the Underworld, “Class is dismissed. Come back at night for self-study!”

With that, Zhang Bao’er pulled Chu Meng and ran away.

A few minutes later, the two women arrived at the recruitment hall. They looked at the figures walking out of the eight teleportation arrays with shock on their faces.

Their lord was too fierce. He had even recruited so many people. Wasn’t he afraid of running out of food?

Of course, these thoughts only lasted for a moment before they were quickly thrown to the back of their minds.

“Oh my god! Cosmetics!!”

“Snow cream, lipstick, eye shadow, and sunscreen!”

Zhang Bao’er looked at Lin Ye in surprise. “My lord, are these all for us?”

Hearing this, Chu Meng also looked over with starry eyes.

“Ahem…” Lin Ye coughed lightly. “I have some left for you. These are the samples. Come here and I have a mission for you. Show your two friends the use of all these cosmetics.”

“Oh?” Upon hearing that, Zhang Bao’er and Chu Meng looked at Xiao Nuan and Xiao Bing.

When they saw them, they were shocked beyond words..
