Chapter 48: Mouth of Relinquish
From now on, Lin Yuan would need to supply food to Red Thorn as he did for Genius and Chimey.
Lin Yuan had already come to a decision about Red Thorn food supply. What else could be more suitable than the alien insects as a food source for Red Thorn?
The alien insects had hard shells, while their flesh had corrosive properties.
If these alien insects were used to feed Red Thorn, they would increase Red Thorn’s digestive ability and allow Red Thorn’s predator organs to produce a potent corrosive fluid in order to digest them.
The alien insects were products of the dimensional rift and insect world. They weren’t available in this world.
On the Star Web, the carcasses of alien insects were sold as spiritual ingredients. Lin Yuan immediately went to purchase insect carcasses for Red Thorn to see how many of them it had to digest before reaching normal-grade.
After entering his Star Web store, Lin Yuan noticed that plenty of people were waiting inside. There were many new faces, but Lin Yuan didn’t feel strange toward their intentions as they were all waiting for him. They probably wanted to order Bronze Usneas and Elite Spirit-Siphon Goldfish.
These people were actually willing to increase the price to make orders with him, but Lin Yuan rejected all of them without exception.
When operating a small store, especially a small fey store on the Star Web, apart from the selling feys, the store would be accepting private orders. Each private order would be different from the previous one, so the price would be different. However, as far as the store’s normal fey were concerned, Lin Yuan chose to treat everyone fairly.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
Lin Yuan hadn’t known how to operate a store in his previous life. He had accumulated all the knowledge for operating a store in this life by watching how his parents acted.
Enthusiasm and perseverance were required when opening a store. Lin Yuan had already inherited the enthusiasm and perseverance traits and wouldn’t change so easily.
“Owner, I wish to order 30 pots of Bronze Usneas at a price higher than the market price.”
“Owner, I wish to order 100 Elite Spirit-Siphon Goldfish from you. I wonder if we can have a discussion.”
Lin Yuan was rather tempted after hearing the offers, but he firmly rejected them.
“When the store brings new merchandise, you are all welcomed to snatch them.”
Zhou Jiaxin: “I do have low-grade alien insect carcasses and quite the collection at that. Do you need them? If you don’t need too many, I can send them to you as a gift.”
Zhou Jiaxin was rather surprised and didn’t know why Lin Yuan wanted to purchase alien insect carcasses. Although the alien insect carcasses’ prices weren’t considered low, Zhou Jiaxin was willing to gift them because she wanted to build a better relationship with Lin Yuan.
This was also considered a method to enhance the relationship with customers.
Another factor was the recent dimensional rifts opening in various places; the alien insect carcasses’ prices had plummeted.
Since the alien insect carcasses’ prices had declined, Zhou Jiaxin didn’t mind giving away three or four of them.
Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “Big Sister Xin, there is no need for the gift. I will need a huge quantity of alien insect carcasses in the future. This time, I will need 100. I will also need another 10,000 catties of inferior energy ores, half a catty of Butterfly Shells, 40 Normal Spirit-Siphon Goldfish, and five Elite X/Flawless Web-Spraying Spiders.”
Lin Yuan decided to just purchase everything from Zhou Jiaxin’s store. After purchasing so many spiritual ingredients and feys from Zhou Jiaxin’s store, he didn’t have to worry about the quality.
Zhou Jiaxin didn’t expect Lin Yuan to purchase so many goods in one go. She found the constant increase of Lin Yuan’s purchasing power truly delightful. At the same time, she already treated Lin Yuan as her VIP customer and would open up all spiritual ingredients and resources from the store to Lin Yuan.
As a Class 3 store owner, Zhou Jiaxin had plenty of collections. Those precious spiritual ingredients and feys were all resources to build ties with customers. As such, Zhou Jiaxin had been cautiously using them.
However, Zhou Jiaxin was going to be extremely generous in offering her resources to Lin Yuan in the future. Of course, the precondition was that Lin Yuan could afford them.
After logging out of the Star Web, Lin Yuan quickly received Zhou Jiaxin’s goods. The 100 alien insect carcasses were stored in Ostrich Logistics spirit storage boxes, so there wasn’t a need to worry they might rot.
Lin Yuan tossed the alien insect carcasses to Red Thorn.
Red Thorn probed and sensed the alien insect carcasses’ taste before the two red flowers opened up and formed a red basin mouth that could fit a basketball. It then gobbled up two of the alien insect carcasses.
Red Thorn’s digestion speed of the alien insect carcasses was surprisingly fast, and it took just five to six minutes to disintegrate them.
Lin Yuan continued to feed Red Thorn until the 80th carcass. When Red Thorn finished digesting the 80th alien insect carcass, it stopped eating.
Its body started to shiver violently as it evolved and produced other body structures.
At that moment, Lin Yuan checked on Red Thorn’s normal-grade ability, and his irises shrunk as it was the Mouth of Relinquish!
