Chapter 343 - 340: Only 998

Chapter 343: Chapter 340: Only 998

Feng Hao had no idea what kind of shock a martial arts action movie had brought to Man Tiaotiao’s family.

At that moment, he and Yao Girl were in bed exploring new techniques. They went at it from dusk till dawn, unlocking countless positions.

Early the next morning, a refreshed Feng Hao got dressed, tucked the young woman in, and prepared to open for business.

But just as he finished dressing, Three-second Fire’s curious voice echoed in his sea of consciousness: "Huh? I haven’t seen you for a day, and suddenly there’s a little beauty in the room?"

"That’s my wife, which makes her your mistress. So you’d better put away any funny ideas," Feng Hao reminded him with a soft snort.

Three-second Fire was taken aback. It rushed out of his sea of consciousness and circled Xi Yueyao a few times, clicking its tongue in amazement. "Well, well, you kid sure are lucky with the ladies!"

"Obviously. You think I’m just some average joe?" Feng Hao said with a smug look.

"Wait, something’s not right. She seems to have an aura of frost on her," Three-second Fire said suddenly, as if frowning.

Feng Hao chuckled and explained, "That’s perfectly normal. She has the Frost Bloodline, and it’s a mutated one."

"A mutated Frost Bloodline? No wonder she gives off such a disgusting aura." Three-second Fire floated aside with a look of disdain, its expression disgruntled. "I mean, really. You’re the holder of a fire seed, yet you go and find a girlfriend with the Frost Bloodline."

"What? You got a problem with that?" Feng Hao sneered.

Three-second Fire instantly backed down, sulking as it drifted to the side, not daring to say another word.

Xiaohai, the little black cat, happened to sneak in through the door. The moment it saw Three-second Fire, it reacted as if it had seen a new toy and pounced with a WHOOSH.

Three-second Fire hastily dodged, its expression strange. "Whoa, what’s with the little magical beast?"

"That’s my pet. His name is Xiaohai," Feng Hao introduced.

"Haha, I like that name!" Three-second Fire laughed excitedly, floating nimbly around the room and teasing the little black cat. "Come on, come on, little guy, keep up! Third Grandfather will teach you how to be a good cat."

"MEOW~!" Xiaohai narrowed its eyes and lunged at Three-second Fire, but the flame dodged with ease.

In an instant, the room descended into utter chaos, leaving Feng Hao exasperated.

Feng Hao couldn’t be bothered with them. He went downstairs by himself, filled the counter with the players and Crystal Cards he had prepared, and officially opened for business.

Perhaps because the shop had been closed for too long, not a single customer showed up after several hours. Feng Hao was speechless.

’This won’t do. I need to come up with a plan.’

After racking his brain, Feng Hao pulled out his mechanical workbench, built a simple stand, hung a player on it, and placed it outside the door. Finally, he deliberately chose a hilarious, high-energy comedy to play.

As it turned out, the method was very effective. A crowd of passersby quickly gathered outside, and the air filled with laughter and cheerful chatter.

The crowd outside grew larger and larger, soon blocking the entire street.

Just as people were engrossed in the show, Feng Hao shut off the player at the perfect moment. In the next instant, the crowd of onlookers erupted:

"What’s going on? Why did it stop?"

"Yeah, this young master hasn’t had his fill yet!"

"Say, what kind of mechanical device is this? Why have I never seen one before?"

"Boss, keep playing it! I haven’t laughed enough yet!"

...

This was exactly the effect Feng Hao wanted. Seeing how impatient everyone was, he cleared his throat, stepped forward, and said, "Please, everyone, be patient. This player is our shop’s newest product. As long as you insert a Crystal Card, you can play all sorts of dramas anytime, anywhere. Besides the one you just saw, we have many other interesting dramas. Friends who are interested can come inside the shop to make a purchase."

"So after all that, this was just about selling something? How boring!"

"Boss, how do we buy this thing? Is it very expensive?" ℯℯ𝑙.

"Haha, this friend has asked the key question." Feng Hao smiled and explained, "Our shop’s products have always been high-quality and affordable. Take this player, for example. It’s only 998 Level 2 Magic Crystals! For 998, you can’t lose! For 998, you can’t be duped! With it, you can enjoy entertainment anytime, anywhere, and cultivate your taste. With it, you can easily attract the gazes of young women. So what are you waiting for? If you want one, you’d better act fast!"

As soon as he said this, the crowd burst into an uproar. A price of 998 Level 2 Magic Crystals was indeed tempting.

"That’s about the price of a single Level 3 Magic Crystal! Boss, I’ll take one!"

"Me too! Me too! I want two!"

"It’s only 998 Level 2 Magic Crystals. I can save that by skipping one trip to the nightclub. Um, give me one!"

...

"No need to rush, no need to rush! Take your time, everyone. I guarantee there’s enough for all of you." Feng Hao quickly got busy.

But when people got their players, a new problem arose: without a Crystal Card, they couldn’t play any videos at all.

This was Feng Hao’s sales strategy: first, popularize the players with a low price. If they wanted to watch content, they had to buy Crystal Cards. If they wanted to watch more, they had to buy more.

"Boss, you tricked us! Why can’t I watch anything on my player?"

"Yeah! I wanted to finish watching that drama from just now, but there’s nothing on here."

"Mine’s the same. Boss, you’re not scamming us, are you?"

Feng Hao cleared his throat, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Don’t worry, everyone. The player is just the playback device. If you want content, you can head over to that counter and choose some Crystal Cards. We have all sorts of genres, guaranteed to satisfy."

Hearing this, the restless crowd finally calmed down and turned towards the Crystal Card counter on the side.

But when they saw the prices listed for the Crystal Cards, everyone was stunned.

"Holy crap, a single Crystal Card costs one Level 3 Magic Crystal? Is this stupid thing worth that much?"

"Yeah, isn’t it just an ordinary Crystal Card? The production cost can’t be more than a few Level 2 Magic Crystals."

"This is fucking robbery!"

...

"What the hell! This drama called *Let’s Watch the Meteor Shower Together* costs twenty Level 3 Magic Crystals? Who are you trying to kid?!"

Feng Hao hurried forward to explain, "Young master, you may not be aware, but *Let’s Watch the Meteor Shower Together* is a series. It has dozens of hours of content, enough to keep you watching for days. That’s why the price is a bit higher."

"If that’s the case, then it’s understandable. Uh, give me one to try."

"No problem." Feng Hao chuckled and handed over a Crystal Card, saying meaningfully, "Excellent eye, young master. This series is the best of the best."

"Is that so?" the young master asked, surprised.

"Of course. Would I lie to you?" Feng Hao continued to sweet-talk him. "By the way, young master, do you have a girlfriend?"

"I do. Why do you ask?"

Feng Hao gave him a profound smile and said with a straight face, "*Let’s Watch the Meteor Shower Together* is perfect for watching with your girlfriend. Trust me, after she watches it, she’ll definitely make you come back to buy more."

"Really? I’ll go back and give it a try." The young master left, half-believing and half-doubting.

Watching his retreating back, Feng Hao sneered internally. ’Gahahaha, let these idol dramas poison the young women of this Otherworld!’

Just as Feng Hao was fantasizing about the future, a sleazy-looking young man snuck over and asked in a low voice, "Boss, do you have any of those... exciting dramas? The kind that kids can’t watch."

"I get it, I get it." Feng Hao nodded knowingly, pulling him aside. "That stuff can be a little pricey. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

The sleazy young man said nonchalantly, "As long as it’s exciting, money is no object."

"Haha, I like a straightforward guy like you." Feng Hao didn’t waste any more words. He casually pulled out a premium card and said mysteriously, "This drama is absolutely exciting. Guaranteed to satisfy. Only 25 Level 3 Magic Crystals."
