Chapter 306: Sales is About Creating Demand
The contract was signed quickly.
Matthew also witnessed how swiftly Lord Annie acted when motivated by gold.
In just half an hour, Lord Annie returned with a sample in hand.
Matthew pointed out a few minor issues, and without hesitation, Annie fixed them on the spot.
"Alright, let's use this as the baseline for production."
"Currently, Bay Territory can provide 20 high-quality spatial crystals per day."
"If the lord has purchasing channels, you can buy more in bulk."
Seeing how agreeable Matthew was, 343, who had escorted Annie back to the lab, asked with a probing tone:
"Once they're produced, how will they be sold?"
After all, each Adventurer's Space Cabin had a production cost of over a thousand gold coins.
If they didn't sell quickly, they'd run out of money fast.
Already having a plan, Matthew didn't keep her in suspense and continued without hesitation:
"It's simple. We'll tell every adventuring team that they need this magical item!"
Remembering what Matthew had mentioned earlier, 343 immediately understood: "You mean, through advertising?"
Giving 343 a nod of approval for her quick thinking, Matthew once again felt that such an excellent tower spirit was wasted on Lord Annie.
Of course, for other Arcanists and mage towers, tower spirits didn't need to be so smart—obedience was enough!
"Exactly. The simplest way to sell something is to create demand!"
"Since adventurers don't know about this great product, it's our responsibility to tell them: you really need this."
"We can..."
Listening to Matthew's plan, 343 found herself feeling overwhelmed, quickly adjusting her energy allocation, and her eyes flashed with a bright red glow.
Two days later.
A shocking announcement spread across all of Bloodmoon City.
"Bay Territory offers a bounty of 10,000 gold coins."
"Looking for a magical item that can be used beneath the swamp ruins in the city, one that provides spatial accommodations."
At first, adventurers were skeptical.
It wasn't that they thought Bay Territory couldn't afford the bounty, but that they had no concept of such a thing.
"A spatial magical item? Why doesn't Bay Territory just buy storage items?"
"You clearly haven't read the mission details. They're asking for a spatial magical item that people can rest in!"
"A space people can rest in? That's impossible!"
"Why not? Don't nobles and spellcasters use spatial carriages?"
"Huh? You're right!"
"There's more—they want it to be no bigger than a backpack!"
"Isn't that unreasonable? What carriage can fit into a backpack?"
"No chance for us. This'll probably come from some noble's vault of relics."
"This is clearly meant for spellcasters, or at least alchemists..."
"10,000 gold coins, just looking at it... but we can't get it."
"..."
Soon, with some nudging from certain individuals, the news spread like wildfire among all adventurers.
Everyone knew about it, but it was mostly just a topic of idle conversation.
Most believed no one would be able to complete the task.
Then, on the third day after the task was posted, a piece of news shocked all adventurers.
Someone had completed the task!
And that person hadn't left—they were currently at the Adventurer's Hall.
Even high-level adventurers were intrigued by a 10,000-gold coin bounty, not to mention everyone else.
Adventurers, whether busy or idle, rushed to the Adventurer's Hall.
What they saw there left them stunned.
A large, conspicuous banner hung in the center of the Adventurer's Hall.
"Thanks to Lord's 3,000-gold Adventurer's Space Cabin, Bay Territory saved 7,000 gold coins!"
A 3,000-gold Adventurer's Space Cabin?
Saved 7,000 gold coins?
What is this Adventurer's Space Cabin?
Could it be the spatial item Bay Territory was looking for, one that people can live in?
Driven by curiosity, many adventurers gathered around, spotting Hao Dazhuang and Hao Dapeng, the brothers taking advantage of the situation.
"Come and see, come and take a look!"
"The lord's newly developed magical item: an Adventurer's Space Cabin for just 3,000 gold coins."
"It's not just for storing goods—it can also store people."
"A storage item priced at 10 gold coins per cubic meter, an essential for adventurers going on expeditions."
"You can rest, sleep, and hide anywhere, anytime. Fully functional, excellent quality!"
"Each item has a unique serial number, and if anything goes wrong within six months, you can get a refund!"
"..."
Motivated by a 1-gold-coin-per-sale reward, the brothers shouted themselves hoarse.
Even the thousand voices in the Adventurer's Hall couldn't drown them out.
Of course, this was all with the approval of the Adventurer's Hall management—after all, they had connections.
Not only were they loudly advertising, but they also had guards lining up to enter the Adventurer's Space Cabin.
Seeing this unusual sales method, quite a few adventurers became intrigued.
Though most couldn't afford it, they didn't mind watching the spectacle.
As the adventurers dispersed, they spread word of this throughout all of Bloodmoon City.
Lord Annie looked a bit helpless at the empty scene, feeling increasingly uneasy.
It wasn't that she feared embarrassment—her reputation in Bloodmoon City was already well established.
But she felt the sting of wasted money. Over the past few days, she'd produced about 100 Adventurer's Space Cabins, investing more than 100,000 gold coins.
If this venture flopped, she'd be scraping by next month.
She still wanted to conduct two more experiments!
"Why hasn't anyone bought one yet?"
She couldn't help but grumble, her eyes shifting as she considered calling someone to stage a purchase.
Watching Annie's instinctive "solicitation," Matthew couldn't help but marvel.
It seemed that no matter where you go, people's wisdom operates on the same wavelength.
The difference is just how well they've refined their experiences!
343 quickly pulled Lord Annie back.
It was fine if no one knew.
But if word got out, it would be a huge joke.
The magical items, worth so much gold, would be stuck in their hands.
As they both fretted, they noticed Matthew casually browsing spell scrolls.
One of them felt somewhat reassured.
The other was fuming.
But soon, their attention was caught by something else.
Several adventurers stepped out from the crowd and walked towards Hao Dazhuang and Hao Dapeng.
Under their expectant gazes, two of them made purchases on the spot.
"Ah! It sold!"
"Haha, yes, yes!"
Watching them embrace in excitement, Matthew's mouth twitched slightly as he turned away.
It's best not to look at something inappropriate!
