Chapter 184: Rice Cakes
Option one involved purchasing the fourth item from his shop upgrade slot, which would introduce intelligence-enhancing consumables that complemented his existing product line perfectly.
If he bought this item immediately, it would initially remain on display until purchased. Lola could buy the first unit, triggering the auto-maker system that would produce twelve items by tomorrow. Each item would sell for 150 golden coins based on his new pricing strategy.
Twelve items at 150 coins each equals 1,800 golden coins gross revenue.
After accounting for one unit for personal consumption and another for Lola’s daily salary compensation, ten units would generate 1,500 golden coins in sales revenue, recovering half the 3,000 golden coin investment cost in a single day.
Return on investment within 48 hours. Plus ongoing daily income of 150 golden coins.
Option two involved purchasing the idle room upgrade for one million dollars, which would provide automated optimisation of his business operations but wouldn’t generate immediate revenue or expand his product offerings. Instead, it would allow him to speed him his skill levels, albeit he didn’t know by how much.
Skill upgrade versus product diversification. Both have merit.
After considering both options carefully, Noah decided that immediate product expansion offered better strategic value than operational automation.
When tomorrow’s sales began generating revenue from the new product line, he could then afford the idle room upgrade while also benefiting from expanded inventory options.
Sequential investment. New product first, then operational upgrades.
The decision also came down to the fact that he really had no need to increase his power rapidly at this time. He had a master-level succubus with him, and he was practically immortal inside the shop.
As for Earth, unless he was shot by heavy machinery or there were hidden practitioners like him, he doubted that there would be a need for such a thing.
