Chapter 321 - Plan

While Jason and Emily were brought to the Golden-Soul shop, he asked her multiple questions to figure out if she knew everything noteworthy about the tasks she had to do.

It didn't take long for them to arrive and they got out of the shuttle, while Jason pondered about a few things.

'Emily is able to learn quite fast and it shouldn't be a problem to give her more responsibilities once the shop is more popular. If that's possible, I can work on myself without any issue! It's about time that I start forging low-grade-2 weapons either way and it would be perfect to sell them inside the shop and online.'

Right now, Jason's biggest priority was strengthening his mana core rank and refining his body in order to strengthen his vessel.

However, he also had to earn more funds because his masters told him so.

They increased his monthly cultivation resources which included medical solutions that had lots of nutrition in them, which was already a huge gain for him.

Nevertheless, Jason was sure that he wasn't earning enough to pay for his own expenses at the moment and that was bothersome.

Either way, he could only take one step at a time.

That was exactly what he was doing right now and he was confident that it wouldn't take long for his shop to become popular.

On one side he didn't have many goods but on the other side, they were also not cheap which would repulse poor customers.

His shop was more focused on quality for every single good and quantity, which was good and bad at the same time.

If he focused on both quality and quantity, his sales would probably skyrocket in a few days, but that was not something he had to care about now.

Right as he was about to enter the shop, he saw a young man waiting in front of the door, impatiently.

From his facial features, Jason could immediately tell that it was Silas Loa, whose profile picture he already saw.

As such, he just entered the Golden-Soul shop before asking his future employee to follow him.

Silas, however, was astonished to hear Jason's voice behind the pitch-black mask which he put on before getting out of the shuttle.

Jason's voice was that of a young man or more likely even a teenager which was not something Silas expected to hear.

However, after trying to inspect his new employer's, he had to acknowledge that the black masked young man was not someone ordinary because he concealed his mana core completely.

Not a tiny trace of mana fluctuations left his body and one might even think that Jason was someone who never absorbed mana in his whole life.

Shaking his head, Silas followed Jason quickly, only to enter a chilled room.

Taking a look around while ignoring the temperature inside the room, Silas could tell that the shop might be new but its potential was great.

Alone the face that Jason cooled the room to prevent the exhibited potions from going bad was something inexperienced shops might forget, when they first open.

It was common sense but some shop-owners were still hopeless.

Seeing that, Silas was sure that his new employer knew what he was doing, when he saw the name tags and prices of all goods inside the shop.

His eyes widened but it was not because of the expensive prices but rather the names written on the tags.

"150.000 Credits?...Perfect purified Jade-Iron bar?!?"

Subconsciously he just blurted out everything he read on the tags, which caused Jason to smile lightly behind his mask as he said

"I think you're fine with the common employment soul contract, right? Your salary is fixed on 30.000 Credits per month and the other clauses should already be clear. If not, you can read them once again… If you don't like to work for me anymore, the soul contract will remain but slowly delete all clauses except the non-disclosure agreement in it, alright?

Furthermore, you have to resign a month in advance.

If that's not possible because of a serious injury or illness, the soul contract will immediately inform me.

Other than that, there is nothing special, but I can promise you that there is a good chance of a bonus if you work hard and sell enough goods."

Hearing what Jason said, Silas nodded his head without being able to think clearly as Jason loosened a thread from his soul to manifest the desired soul contract in front of him in a matter of seconds.

When Silas saw this, he was astonished because his old employers required several minutes for something the black masked youth could do in less than half a minute.

Seeing that, he felt even more confident to have picked the right employer and Silas signed the employment soul contract after reading through it two times.

Once that was done, Silas took a deep breath before he regained his composure.

In his whole life, he already signed multiple soul contracts and right now it was not as taxing as the first time.

Jason took out a perfectly purified calming potion which he handed Silas, so that he could remain calm and at the same time soothe his soul world's toll.

Accepting the potion thankfully, he only noticed how expensive the potion was after he finished gulping down every single drop inside it.

'That were 50,000 Credits!' The calming potion Jason gave his new employee was only a grade-1 potion but after it was perfectly purified, its value and effectiveness were better than most normal grade-2 potions.

After considering this, Jason thought that he was still extremely nice with his price because he could also double all prices inside his shop and still have enough customers.

That was if they knew about the difficulties to create perfect purified goods!

Nevertheless, his plan was something else for now!

First, he didn't really want to scare away poorer customers who didn't know about his prices, but Jason knew that this would happen either way.

As such, he genuinely hoped that news of a <> would spread through the whole city!

This would be perfect for his Golden-Soul shop and an even better than the one he applied for online!

With such rumors spreading, interested blacksmiths and probably even merchants would start looking out for his shop, only to figure out that the rumors were true.

However, for them, it was not "extremely expensive" but more likely a cheap price, considering that one could forge mana weapons with perfect purified bars.

At least if one was able to create an alloy that was suitable to be forged into a mana weapon.

Other than that, wealthy hunters and other slightly larger families might look out for the perfectly purified potions because they were extremely useful.

Not only were they more effective than normal grade-1 potions, but being purified from all impurities also meant that one could gulp down several million potions without having any problems with one's mana circulation and absorption.

This in particular was the biggest issue with normal, impure potions, and the reason why nobody really liked to purchase them, if it was not necessary.

After drinking to many impure potions, the accumulated impurities would start to obstruct the mana absorption and circulation by a minuscule degree, which would only increase, the more potions one had to use!

In the end, this might even turn out as the reason to be unable to breakthrough another mana core rank.

If the Golden-Soul shop became well-known after the first week he would start increasing the price by a small margin, otherwise, he would have to wait for another week.

This wouldn't cause a commotion because he already had a "Sale" label on his shop, telling everyone that his price wouldn't remain like it currently was forever!
