Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Carloya believed that there were always traces of how to accumulate wealth in this world. No matter where you are or what kind of civilization you are facing, as long as you master the secrets, you can profit from it.

The secret is very simple - if you control the needs of your customers, you control their wallets.

If customers don't have a need, create one for them.

In her opinion, there are endless business opportunities hidden in Qingchi Mountain.

The monsters on the back mountain are a natural treasure. In Carloya's opinion, the way Yunhai Academy treats monsters is tantamount to a waste of resources.

The relationship of loving and making friends became outdated centuries ago. Only interests can make the relationship between people closer.

The first pot of gold that will make her "get rich" will come from this natural treasure.

The first 25 shells were used for entertaining guests. Her identity as a representative of the Chamber of Commerce facilitated her actions, and it was not difficult to find monster enthusiasts among the students.

She was a girl named Tang Qianqian, the class representative of the elective course "Phantom Monsters". She had her own companion monster. Unlike most students in the academy, she was a "pragmatist". The 25 shells bought her a "Phantom Monsters" notebook.

She and Tang Qianqian sat in the shade of the beverage shop. On the table were fruit drinks provided by the shop. Carloya listened to Tang Qianqian telling interesting stories about the "Magical Monsters" course, and silently memorized the habits of various monsters.

The second 20 shells were used to buy fruit baskets, looking for cheap fruits and winning by quantity.

Tang Qianqian's notebook mentioned that the monsters in the back mountain are very simple and honest. As long as you give them gifts, they will treat you as their best friend. In fact, they don't care about the value of the gifts themselves.

Before noon, Kaliya carried a fruit basket and visited the crane clan living on the back mountain. She was greeted by a crane girl named Yunlin.

The crane is the messenger of Qingchi Mountain and one of the monsters that is best at dealing with humans. But more importantly, the notebook of "Phantom Monsters" mentions that the crane clan has the habit of molting their feathers, and the shed feathers will fall all over the mountain during the autumn harvest.

The God of Trade is with her as always, and it is the season for the cranes to molt.

Yunlin held the fruit basket in her mouth, smiling widely.

Miss Carloya is such a kind person. Not only did she give them a fruit basket as a greeting gift, she also took the initiative to help them pick up their shed feathers.

The third payment of 25 shells was used to bribe the guard of the Medicine Pavilion.

With the collected crane feathers and the classics borrowed from the library, Kaluoya found the chief disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion.

What do the students in the college desire most?

Get to know more about monsters, know what they really think, and get closer to them.

This is also the most frequently mentioned question in the "Phantom Monster" course.

However, Mr. September's answer was vague - patience, sincerity and courage, these vague things are the most difficult to quantify standards. Based on Carloya's experience as a businessman, customers usually do not like such uncertain products.

What they hope is that there is a kind of elixir in this world that they can buy with money, and after taking it, they can make friends with monsters.

Teacher September said there is no such thing in the world.

Kalloy disagrees with this.

As long as there is demand from customers, there will be corresponding products in this world.

The academy's "Illustrated Book of Elixirs" records an elixir called "Zhen Huan Dan", which has a similar effect to truth serum. Its side effect is that it will make the user extremely excited, so excited that he will muster up the courage to run to the back mountain and reveal his true feelings to the monsters.

See, patience, sincerity and courage can all be bought with money.

Teacher Jiu Yue’s theory was not wrong, but she didn’t seem to have done much research on the “Illustrated Book of Alchemy”.

In fact, it is not difficult to interact with monsters. As long as they can overcome social phobia and suspicion, they will be rewarded.

This doesn't sound difficult, but her potential customers are convinced that only by taking a certain product can they be transformed.

But "Zhen Huan Dan" is not good enough.

This name is both ordinary and common. It is a low-level elixir that even a novice alchemist can make. If other people know the "prescription", many competitors will immediately appear in the market.

So the next step is packaging.

The "Zhen Huan Dan" was renamed "Huan Meng Dan", and ground crane feathers were added to the original formula. The crane feathers themselves have no effect, but they can be given some magical properties.

The chief disciple of the Pill Pavilion seemed to have some doubts about this, but it was easy to resolve.

The money earned from "Huan Meng Dan" is divided equally.

When making the promise, Carloya leaned slightly forward in front of the table. This angle made it easier for the other party to appreciate her slim figure.

The chief disciple is a nerd who spends all day in the Alchemy Pavilion. Alchemy class has never been a popular elective course. They have always been unknown and have never had the experience of doing business with beautiful people of the opposite sex.

The business went smoothly. There were ready-made materials in the medicine cabinet and no extra money was needed.

It was lunch time when we walked out of the Medicine Pavilion.

Yunhai Academy is bustling with students coming and going in an endless stream.

Carloya stopped to admire them. She really liked the innocent look of the students in the academy.

There is a kind of limpid stupidity.

The 70-bei chips have been thrown, just like spring ploughing and autumn harvest. The chief disciple said that the first batch of "Dream Rejuvenation Pills" can be completed before dark.

All she had to do was find a place to sit down and wait for good news.

Carloya returned to the drink shop and sat in a shady corner. She crossed her legs elegantly and flipped through another book she had borrowed from the library.

"Fox Demon Stories".

This seems to be a popular book and has been read countless times recently.

There was a gleam in her eyes.

If monsters are regarded as "products" and divided into different levels, then fox monsters are undoubtedly the most precious and expensive top-notch ones.

Carloya was soon immersed in the legends described in the book. She was always patient, especially when waiting for the harvest.

The longer the fruit grows, the fuller it tends to be and the better the price it can fetch.

The day passed so peacefully.

The fourth piece of bad news came at 6 o'clock in the evening.

The Medicine Pavilion exploded.

Students and teachers gathered downstairs of the Medicine Pavilion, pointing and talking. Billowing black smoke drifted out from the third floor of the Medicine Pavilion - that was the room where the chief disciple was, and it was in that room that he refined the pills.

Gabriella's elegant smile froze on her face. She stopped downstairs of the Medicine Pavilion and looked up.

It was only after several minutes that it was finally confirmed that the Medicine Pavilion had caught fire.

At the same time, on the third floor of the Alchemy Pavilion, Duan Mingyuan stared at the alchemy furnace that exploded and fell into deep thought.

Duan Mingyuan believed that there were always traces of how to accumulate wealth in this world. No matter where you were or what kind of civilization you were facing, as long as you mastered the secrets, you could profit from it.

He also believes that his past investment failures were not entirely due to luck, but rather to his failure to master core technologies.

Today, a real investment expert came to him.

With an open mind to learn, he observed Kalloy's actions throughout the day and imitated his path to success.

And now, he understood another little common sense in alchemy.

If you randomly combine objects of uncertain composition, an explosion will occur.

Duan Mingyuan glanced at the chief disciple who was lying unconscious on the floor, and then at the alchemy furnace that had been burned to charcoal.

Alchemy,

It is really a profound subject.

Thanks to shiyantuxiu for the reward of 18888 Qidian coins!

Small Theatre No. 12:

Early morning on Thursday of a certain year and month.

After a whole night of hard work, Jiu Yue finally managed to make Duan Mingyuan's entire body filled with her scent.

The mosquito tried hard all night, but in the end it didn't get a single drop of blood.

But Jiuyue felt that Mosquito was not hungry either, and should have eaten enough dog food.

In this way, Mr. Mingyuan enjoyed a good sleep, she achieved her goal, the mosquitoes had a full dinner, and everyone had a bright future.

When the two checked out and left the hotel, Mosquito accompanied them all the way to the door and gave the newlyweds his sincere blessings.

——Zhao, there is a liar!

——We agreed to suck blood until we’re full!

September walked in front, looking at the deep mountains in the distance. It has been a while since he came back. He wondered how everyone in the mountains was doing.

She had experienced so many things since she met Mr. Ming Yuan. Now, she could sit on a big rock and tell stories about the outside of the mountains to the little foxes that gathered around her, just like her predecessors who had returned from traveling.

"By the way, Mr. Mingyuan."

After Jiu Yue took a few steps forward, he suddenly remembered something, turned sideways, and asked curiously, "What was the gift you said you prepared for everyone in the mountains?"

She had been with Duan Mingyuan these days and had not seen him buy any gifts.

"this."

Duan Mingyuan opened his phone, which contained a guide to building a holiday, with many details annotated in detail. "I have been studying architecture recently."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 237 I wish you a dream of getting rich

Everyone has areas that they are not good at. Duan Mingyuan realized that apart from investment, alchemy was not his area of ​​expertise either.

Alchemy requires that each step be linked together. If the various materials are just roughly assembled together, it will cause an explosion.

Just like it is now.

Fortunately, no one was injured in the medicine cabinet and only one alchemy furnace was damaged.

The injured people were downstairs in the Medicine Pavilion - standing in the crowd, Gabriel clenched her fists. According to her assessment, if the "Dream-Returning Pill" was sold successfully, she could at least increase her stakes tenfold overnight, and then she would use 1000 Bei to make more investments.

This is both her way of assessing civilization and one of the Semitic hobbies.

In the underground exchanges opened on various planets, using lifespan as a bargaining chip is just their daily game. There are even many Semites who, in pursuit of excitement, adjust the chips of their lifespan to 1 hour when entering the exchange. They must use this remaining 1 hour to change their fate.

As far as Carloya knew, every senior executive of the Chamber of Commerce had played this game more than once.

She is one of them.

But now, she was on a remote planet, in a world of fools with no business acumen, and she lost 70% of her capital in one move.

What annoyed Carloya more than the lost chips was the lingering sense of shame.

It seems that this accident was not caused by a problem in her vision, but rather a vicious business competition.

Someone followed her, and after learning her plan, blew up the Medicine Pavilion.

About a quarter of an hour later, Carloya found suspect No. 1 at the scene.

Duan Mingyuan, the teacher of "Defense against Evil Spirits", was busy in the Alchemy Pavilion, pretending that he had come to help after hearing the news. The scene was already in chaos, so no one noticed that this person who had nothing to do with the "Alchemy" elective course came out of the attic from the very beginning.

Okay, that's how we do business, right?

Carloya reflected on his mistakes and realized that there was something wrong with his judgment of people.

She originally thought that someone like Duan Mingyuan would not do such petty theft, but she didn't expect that this hypocritical man could even deceive her.

However, this is not the first time she has encountered difficulties in the evaluation process.

Carloya always informs the other party of her judging criteria before the evaluation begins.

The time limit is three days.

The more wealth she accumulated during this period, the lower the rating of her civilization became.

After learning these two points, the other party will naturally find ways to destroy her business.

More directly, they would send robbers or hooligans to try to restrict her personal freedom.

Those who are more subtle will invite her to participate in various activities in various ways and try to fill her schedule during these three days.

Duan Mingyuan is obviously a member of the "direct faction" and is the most extreme radical among them.

In order to destroy her business, this man even blew up the school where she taught.

Gabriel's gaze turned gloomy as he looked at Duan Mingyuan's back, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey in the dark.

In that case, let’s create something that “can’t be blown up”.

The market and customer demands had not changed; all she had to do was shift her strategy once one avenue was blocked.
