Chapter 116: New shop’s first customer

When Lin Fan came back to the Green Wood City shop, he went to the door and turned the sign on the door to show they were open.

There was already a crowd that had gathered outside because they were curious about who had taken over this store, so when they saw the sign on the door turn to signal they were open, the crowd quickly moved in to check out the store.

They were surprised to see that the store was only a single floor even though this was a multi floor building, but they were shocked when they saw the price of the merchandise.

A single pack of pet food that would only last for a single day already cost two hundred crystals!

If this store was a store with a famous alchemist who was refining the pet food, this might have been worth it, but there was no famous alchemist here.

Everyone immediately thought that this store was a sham and they quickly left. However, there were a few that were still curious since this store used to belong to the Mu Family. If someone took over from the Mu Family, they must have some ability for the Mu Family to offer this store to them.

One of these people who were still curious came over to Lin Fan and asked, "Sir, does your store offer any other services?"

Lin Fan saw this person and he immediately revealed his usual smile, "Of course, of course, we also offer the best pet training here."

That person was immediately put off by the smile, but he still asked, "How much does it cost for you to train a Bronze Realm pet?"

Lin Fan said with the same smile, "A thousand crystals."

That person didn't react at first, "Of a thousand crystals." But then he suddenly realized something, "Crystals? Are you sure you mean crystals?!"

Lin Fan nodded, "Of course sir, the best service deserves the best price."

That person just looked at Lin Fan like he was crazy before quickly leaving the store.

Seeing this, Lin Fan gave a sigh.

The mission the system gave him really was too difficult!

He only had two months to make this store as popular as the store in Snow Wind City?

Would he have to crush another royal family to make that happen?

With his prices revealed, the various potential customers that had been listening in quickly left the store as well and soon his store was as empty as when he took over the store in Snow Wind City.

Lin Fan couldn't help shaking his head with a smile when he saw this.

It really was hard to run a business when your prices seemed like a scam…

But the system wouldn't let him change those prices, so he had no other choice.

A quiet morning passed with crowds of people walking past his store, but not a single person came in. The rumours of his prices had spread like wildfire and now everyone had dubbed his store as the scamming store.

Just like that, it wasn't until right after noon that Lin Fan's first real customer came in and it was someone that he already knew.

Hearing the bell ring by the door, Lin Fan turned to find a familiar face half covered in a silk veil being followed by another familiar face.

Lin Fan just smiled as he said, "Little nephew, did you come to support your uncle's store?"

Mu Xiao Hai almost tripped over the threshold of the door when he heard this while coming in, but he caught himself in time.

Mu Xiao Hai gritted his teeth, but he didn't explode this time. He knew that he couldn't win against Lin Fan and he wasn't willing to embarrass himself in front of Yang Yun again.

Yang Yun ignored this and came in front of Lin Fan, "Owner Lin, I want to apologize for what happened yesterday. It was my fault and I hope that you can forgive me."

Lin Fan raised a brow in surprise when he heard this, but then he said in a calm voice, "Forget it, it's my fault too for going too far. Xiao Hai, I'm sorry for what I did."

Mu Xiao Hai's butt was actually still stinging a bit from yesterday, but since Lin Fan was apologizing and he was in front of Yang Yun, it wouldn't be good to insist on acting this way. Besides, he wasn't someone to hold a grudge to begin with.

Mu Xiao Hai reached out his hand and said, "I was also a bit disrespectful yesterday, I'm sorry for acting rashly."

Lin Fan shook his hand with a smile and didn't tease him anymore.

Now that that was over, Yang Yun then asked, "Owner Lin, would you be willing to see my teacher? She has a few things she wants to discuss with you."

Lin Fan spread his hand and said, "As you can see, I'm too busy running my store to go anywhere. If she really wants to talk, she can come to my store."

Yang Yun knit her brows as she said, "My teacher is one of the ten elders of the Alchemy Tower, there are many people who would want to meet her privately."

Lin Fan spread his hands again, "Maybe there are, but unfortunately I'm too busy for that."

Yang Yun then turned to the pet food and said, "What if I buy all of your pet food, would you close your store once all your stock is sold and come meet my teacher?"

Lin Fan pointed at the pet food and said, "If you can afford it, then I'll go meet your teacher."

Yang Yun was surprised by this, but when she saw the price, she was shocked, "Are you sure you have the right price…"

But then she suddenly caught a whiff of a scent that she had only ever heard of before.

Yang Yun quickly knit her brows and moved closer to the pet food. When she did, she could smell the scent even more clearly.

She quickly moved to another bag of pet food and she could smell the same scent from that bag as well.

She continued to move from one bag to the other, checking for the same scent and with each bag that she went by, the shock on her face continued to increase.

Yang Yun quickly turned to Lin Fan and asked, "Owner Lin, how did you make all of these?"

Lin Fan just said with a smile, "Miss Yang, isn't this going against the code of business. You should know that the recipes of a shop are considered a secret."

Yang Yun wanted to keep asking, but she knew that she had no right to do so. He was correct, the recipes of a shop were their secret, otherwise if everything was shared, who would be willing to develop new recipes if they couldn't make money?

She struggled with her emotions, but in the end, she just said with a sigh, "Then I'll take this bag of pet food."

Mu Xiao Hai came over and said, "Xiao Yun, let me buy that for you."

Yang Yun just ignored Mu Xiao Hai as she took out the crystals which she placed on the counter.

Being an alchemist was quite the lucrative occupation, so Yang Yun naturally didn't lack crystals.

Then when she turned to leave, she realized that she hadn't finished the task that her master had given her.

After hesitating for a bit, she turned back to ask, "Owner Lin, do you also train pets here?"

Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said, "Of course we also train pets here. Do you need a pet trained?"

Yang Yun called out her pet which was a tiny ball of light.

When Lin Fan was surprised to see this pet, "Oh, a Light Sprite, now that's quite a rare pet."

Yang Yun was surprised that Lin Fan knew about this pet, "Owner Lin, you know about Light Sprites?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Not only do I know about them, I know that the powder from their wings can help increase the success rate when refining."

Yang Yun was surprised at first, but thinking of the pet food that Lin Fan had made, it was natural that he knew about this. She even thought that he might have a Light Sprite of his own in this shop.

Lin Fan then said, "A Bronze Realm pet costs a thousand crystals to train."

Yang Yun just nodded, before she said with a look of disbelief, "A thousand crystals? Are you sure you don't mean credits?"

Lin Fan shook his head and said with a serious look, "Crystals, not credits."

Mu Xiao Hai couldn't take this, so he said, "Uncle, you're a friend of my father, so you can't just rip people off like this. Why don't you tell Xiao Yun the real price."

Lin Fan turned to him and said, "This is the real price. Since you're my nephew, I'll tell you that my training can let your pet learn an advanced skill at a minimum."

Mu Xiao Hai gave a snort, "Right, like I would believe that you are a Master Trainer."

Lin Fan just gave a shrug.

After struggling for a bit, Yang Yun decided to pay for the training.

Mu Xiao Hai tried to talk her out of it, but seeing that she insisted, he had no choice. He also called out his pet and left it for training too.

But then when Lin Fan told them to come pick them up tomorrow, they were shocked once again.
