Chapter 540 - The Pre-sale King and Beastmaster Loans
Lu Ran waved his hand, flashing the smile of a seasoned capitalist. “Talking to a smart cat sure saves trouble.”
When it came to making money, they didn’t even need to rack their brains. They just had to trust the wisdom of those who came before them. Even if the target didn’t have much money at the moment, there were plenty of ways to squeeze every last bit of value out of them.
A rookie beastmaster wanted a familiar with decent potential and talent, but couldn’t afford it? No problem. Just lure them in with a pre-sale deposit. They could likely manage scraping together a deposit of 1,000 crystal coins.
After paying the deposit, they’d be put on a waiting list. Once they gathered the remaining tens or hundreds of thousands of crystal coins, they’d get their familiar. It was a first-come, first-served based payment order.
If they didn’t want to pay the deposit early and preferred to save up for the full amount, it was too bad. Without a reservation, there might not be any stock left when they finally had the money. After all, familiars took time to breed.
And if they wanted to skip the line and get their familiar immediately, that would cost extra. So, it was better to pay the deposit early and reserve their desired familiar type.
With Lu Ran’s current reputation and strength as a guarantee, customers didn’t have to worry about the familiars being “discontinued.” They’d definitely get their order in the end. In short, with this pre-sale system in place, Lu Ran didn’t even need to deliver the familiars to secure a hefty sum of upfront deposits. With this money, he could grow even stronger.
By the time Six-Path Flower became more powerful, its efficiency in awakening plant intelligence and sending other lives into reincarnation would improve even further.
As for those beastmasters who wanted even rarer familiar offspring, like King or Overlord familiars, but didn’t have enough crystal coins, they could opt for installment payments with interest.
Compared to struggling rookies, these beastmasters were already more capable. As long as they were willing to work hard, they’d have no problem repaying. With Lu Ran’s current authority in Limitless City, he could enforce rules both inside the city and track people in the real world. Anyone who tried to take a familiar and run would be caught.
The only real concern was if someone accidentally died in a secret realm. However, by the time beastmasters reached this level, dying wasn’t so easy.
If it did happen, Lu Ran would just have to accept the loss. After all, producing high-quality familiar offspring was practically a zero-cost business anyway. The profits were already massive, so absorbing a little risk elsewhere was no big deal.
