Chapter 421 - 421: Territory Planning
This time it was different. Nami hadn’t been willing to wear the medal before because she couldn’t bear to see her teacher die an untimely death. However, it was her choice now. She gladly accepted it and pinned the medal on her chest.
The medal had no magical energy on it. It was an ancient item that fulfilled a symbolic function.
Su Wan watched Nami and Bartos as a notification sounded on her interface.
[The Lord of Crimson Moon has accepted the title. No one can stop her now. Lords, please be prepared.]
Su Wan looked at Nami in surprise. The medal shone on her lapel.
Half an hour later, Su Wan and Xu Yuan left the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce with heavy hearts.
The carriage headed toward the Lavender Business Guild. Su Wan was lost in thought.
“Don’t think too much. We’ll surpass the world eventually,” said Xu Yuan in a gentle voice.
When their carriage reached the manor, Mestre stepped forward to receive them. She had been waiting for them to arrive.
“My Lord, did you encounter any trouble at the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce?” asked Mestre.
“No… Mestre, send out a message to the territory. All troops who are outside the territory must return to the territory in three days,” said Su Wan. “Tell the troops that they can’t leave the territory without explicit orders from me or Xu Yuan.”
That made Mestre uneasy. “My Lord, what’s wrong?”
Su Wan slowly raised her head and looked at the sky. The light was dissipating from the sky. The world was shrouded in darkness.
It seemed that the ordinary residents did not care about the future of the world. They had other concerns. They were more worried about putting food on the table.
Mestre wrote a letter to Timo with Su Wan’s orders and sent it to the territory. She returned to the main hall.
Su Wan was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. She looked at the moon that was hidden behind the dark clouds.
Xu Yuan looked indifferent as ever.
“Did you send me instructions to the territory?” asked Su Wan.
“Yes, My Lord. The message has been sent.”
The letter was written in a special code, so only those in the territory could read it.
The Lavender Business Guild was the link between the territory and the outside world. So, they had a special way of communicating.
“You’ve done well, Mestre. Did you encounter any problems in the Lavender Business Guild till now?” asked Su Wan.
Mestre shook her head. “With Her Highness Bayion’s guidance and President Nami’s protection, nothing had hindered our progress. The Lavender Business Guild now has thirty shops in the city. Most of them are still under construction. They are expected to be completed in about fifteen days. The ice cream sales have increased significantly. It is one of the most popular summer products in Canglan City right now.”
The ice cream on the shelves sold out before the day was done. Many other Chambers of Commerce even bought crates of the ice cream to be sold at their own shops.
The ice cream was sold at a low price so that everyone was able to afford it.
Su Wan wasn’t surprised. She had tasted the ice cream before and knew its potential.
“What about our competitors?” asked Su Wan.
“Many others launched similar products because of our increased sales. However, their prices are too high. They sell it at five hundred units of normal resources, so people don’t buy them as much,” said Mestre.
Only nobles could afford items priced in that range. It was a half day’s wage for some workers in Canglan City. Affordability was one of the reasons that Su Wan’s ice cream was so popular.
If the price was maintained at the current range, their sales would increase steadily. The competitors were no problem at all.
Su Wan nodded. “Keep doing a good job. The raw material for the ice cream is a magical plant. It has been planted on a large scale. The production of ice cream in the future will increase drastically.”
“Is the promotion of the Demonic Music Box effective in Canglan City?” asked Su Wan..
