Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 3: Buying luxury goods is like this
Two hours later, Lu Ke opened his eyes in surprise.

The speed of chakra refining was much faster than before. The chakra he refined in these two hours was more than what he had refined in the previous half a month.

He originally thought that the speed of chakra refining was only two or three times faster, but he didn't expect that the improvement of talent did not seem to be a rigid addition. The sublimation of the body and soul, and the control of energy were all variables in the refining speed.

About seven or eight times.

Lu Ke made a rough estimate, feeling the chakra in his body with great pleasure, thinking about finding an opportunity to test the blue bar of a famous unit of measurement, so as to calculate how long he would need to refine chakra to obtain one card of power.

In addition, he should also consider obtaining the means to fight the enemy.

It is not difficult to obtain "Chakra Extraction Technique", but Ninjutsu is different. This is something that only ninjas can learn. He does not have the background to obtain Ninjutsu, and he is not a ninja.

Gotta find a way...

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the younger brother Qianchuan Guang came to call his brother to get up, but found that Lu Ke was looking at him thoughtfully, and his eyes gradually became brighter.

Qianchuan Guang had seen this look before. In the past, when his brother accidentally broke porcelain at home, his parents would drag him out to take the blame on the grounds that he was young and his parents would not punish him.

Suddenly, having a bad feeling, Qianchuan Guang turned around and tried to run, but the next moment he was grabbed by a big hand and his body was suspended in the air, like a kitten with its fate pinched by the scruff of the neck.

"Hikari, I remember you wanted to go to ninja school, right?"

Qianchuan Guang nodded obediently, "Didn't you say that I'm not allowed to go up?"

"Hehehe, I don't necessarily mean to go up..."

Just have a reason.

Qianchuan Guang blinked his innocent eyes, "Brother, I don't understand."

Lu Ke pinched his brother's chubby face and said, "It's okay. You don't need to understand. Just listen to your brother's arrangements."

It’s not too much for him to buy some ninja training and equipment for his younger brother who is about to enter school, right?
……

After breakfast, Luke swung the hammer as usual, only to find that the hammer, which had previously seemed heavy, was now as light as a feather. He perked up, swung the hammer and started working.

His efficiency was astonishingly fast. He completed the planned task in just one hour without breaking a sweat. The kunai and shuriken he hammered out were more solid and of higher quality than before.

If his father hadn't been around, he would have slowed down and made it even faster. Of course, due to the limitations of materials and craftsmanship, there is still some gap compared to the original product.

"I have something to do today, so I won't be back for dinner. Tell mother not to prepare my portion."

Lu Ke took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and explained to his father with a smile.

The father looked at his eldest son suspiciously. He felt that his son was a little different today. He was energetic and radiant, and seemed to be much brighter than usual.

Her temperament has also changed a lot. She used to be always sullen, but now it seems as if her nature has suddenly been released. She smiles more often, as if she has suddenly changed from being repressed to being overtly coquettish.

He pondered for a long time, recalled his youth, and suddenly understood.

It's probably because she's in heat.

After all, it's normal to think about women when you're at the age of starting a family and building a career. It's abnormal to think about making money every day like before.

After leaving the house, Lu Ke went straight to a regular high-end ninja tool store. He planned to buy a sword and some weight-bearing equipment.

"welcome."

The manager of the Ninja Tool Shop was a middle-aged man in his forties. He saw someone coming and was about to warmly entertain the customer, but when he saw it was Lu Ke, his face immediately fell and his attitude became visibly cold.

"Oh, isn't this the little brat from the Qianchuan family? What are you doing here? Are you here to provoke me?"

The middle-aged shop owner spoke in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

The defective products launched by the Qianchuan Blacksmith Shop had a widespread impact on traditional ninja tool shops, and sales plummeted at one point. It was even said that several shop owners had come to the Qianchuan Blacksmith Shop to complain.

The ninja tool shop that cooperated with the ninja was naturally not something that a commoner like the Senkawa family could afford to offend. Fortunately, Lu Ke was well prepared. After talking with several owners of the ninja tool shops for a night, the owners gave up and went back.

That night, he explained to the bosses what the brand effect and hunger sales were.

In the days that followed, the traditional ninja tool shop doubled the price of the ninja tools in the store, and at the same time hired a group of civilians to spread the word that their ninja tools were craftsmanship passed down for many years, and were luxury goods that only noble ninjas could buy. They also launched limited edition ninja tools, saying that these were the only ones produced in the entire Konoha.

They also emphasized that their ninja tools were of two different grades from the toys produced by Senkawa Blacksmith Shop, and declared that only the noble ninjas from large families were worthy of purchasing and using their ninja tools.

Suddenly, the drastic drop in purchase volume stopped falling, and sales increased instead of decreasing.

From then on, several large families in Konoha purchased the supplies they needed from regular ninja tool shops, while civilian ninjas and students from ninja schools generally chose emerging shops represented by Senkawa Blacksmith Shop, and the two kept to themselves.

"Of course, people come here to buy things."

Luke smiled and said, "I want to buy a better quality long sword and a hundred kilograms of leggings."

The middle-aged store manager sneered and spread his hands, "Sorry, we're out of stock."

"What's in that display case?"

"You also know that this is a display cabinet. Display cabinets are of course used to store exhibits."

Luke's face darkened, "Then how can I get the goods?"

"Our ninja tools are only available to members, and you know that. You are not a ninja from a big family, so it is difficult for me to deal with it now."

The middle-aged store manager answered confidently.

Luke: o(￣ヘ￣o＃)
Middle-aged store manager: ㄟ(▔，▔)ㄏ

Luke felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

"So what do you have for sale?"

The middle-aged store manager took out a whetstone and said, "This is a new whetstone we recently launched. Look at its texture and feel."

"How much?" "Not much, one hundred thousand taels."

"Take the young master?!"

"One hundred thousand taels."

Do you know that an S-level mission usually costs only one million taels?

Lu Ke was silent for a while. He couldn't believe that the store manager could be even more shameless than him.

“If I buy this, will it be available?”

"Maybe there is, maybe not, who knows, just buy it first and see, maybe there will be one."

Lu Ke felt terrible after hearing this, "This is not the way you rob money."

"Of course, if you rob money you will be arrested by those Uchiha idiots in the security team, but if you sell ninja tools you won't be arrested." The middle-aged store manager smiled proudly, "The Uchiha family is our largest customer group."

That's not the case. He is wealthy, arrogant, and likes to compare with others. His IQ drops dramatically when he gets angry. He is the epitome of a rich but stupid person.

The Uchiha clan had a contract with the Nekoya, and originally had a stable source of purchasing high-quality ninja tools. They didn't expect that they would be forced to buy these worthless things in order to show off their status as the most prestigious clan in Konoha.

It is easy to suffer losses if you care too much about your face.

Calculating the time, in a few months, Shisui will be poked in the eye by that old silver coin Danzo, and then two years later, Uchiha Itachi will carry out the family cleansing plan, and the title of the most famous family in Konoha will belong to the Hyuga family from then on.

Lu Ke narrowed his eyes and said, "Manager, I am sincere in buying things. Please don't embarrass me. It is not appropriate to use what I taught you against me."

Although the traditional ninja tool shops used the marketing strategy mentioned by Lu Ke, making the ninjas from big families become their breadwinners out of face, the ninjas from big families are not all fools. They can spend a little more money to show their status, but they will not buy if the price is too high.

The price mentioned by the middle-aged store manager has clearly exceeded the normal increase.

"Hmph." The middle-aged store manager snorted. He did intend to embarrass Lu Ke just now.

At first, several store managers ran over to settle the accounts angrily, but were moved by Lu Ke's remarks and retreated. Although they made money, they always felt that they had lost face and were unhappy about being told to retreat by this inherently evil kid from the Qianchuan family.

But they were just unhappy. No one would go against money. They even thought that if Qianchuan Blacksmith Shop went bankrupt one day, they could trick people into working as marketing consultants.

Middle-aged store manager: "Please tell me your requirements in detail."

"I hope the sword is of better quality, strong and durable and not easily worn out. It would be perfect if it was made of metal that can conduct chakra. I don't have any requirements for the leggings, as long as they can't be seen after they are tied."

The middle-aged store manager couldn't help but frown when he heard this. "You're quite bold in wanting a sword made of chakra metal, top-grade stuff. Don't say I don't have it in my store. Even if I did, you wouldn't be able to afford it. I do have leggings, two 50-kilogram ones would be fine."

"Then just get a ninja sword made of better material." Lu Ke didn't force it. He bought a sword just to have a weapon to use better in case of emergencies.

The middle-aged store manager took out a simple-style sword about one meter long from the counter and threw it over, then took out the leggings and threw them in front of Lu Ke.

"Among the ninja tools made of wear-resistant and hard special materials, this is the only sword. Although it is not as good as chakra metal, it is a good weapon considering its weight and durability."

"Mid- to high-end ninja tools need to be registered. What are you buying leggings and ninja weapons for?"

Luke pulled the sword away a little, and when he saw the faint cold light, he put it away and smiled slightly, "I bought it for my brother. He will go to the Ninja School in half a year, and I want to prepare it for him in advance."

Of course it sounds ridiculous, but as long as there is a reason, no one will care whether it is ridiculous or not.

If nothing goes wrong, even a ninja cannot check the cash flow of a private store. If something goes wrong, the cover-up he can do is child's play in the eyes of a ninja who specializes in gathering intelligence.

He is not planning on causing any trouble right now, he just needs a transition period.

The middle-aged store manager was very upset after hearing this.

"He's not even as tall as the sword you bought him, and it has a hundred kilograms of weight. You let a six-year-old kid use it?"

Giving a six-year-old child a one-meter-long sword and a hundred-kilogram weighted leggings, only someone who has had a brain thrombosis for ten years could come up with such a thing?
I advise you to be kind!
He took out his abacus and counted twice.

"Sincerely, three hundred thousand taels."

Luke: ?
I hope you understand that when I put a question mark, it’s not because I have a problem, but because I think you have a problem.

"If the Uchiha clan knew that you were taking advantage of them, they would be unhappy. As you know, the people of that clan tend to be impulsive."

The middle-aged store manager snorted coldly: "Do you have any evidence?"

I have no evidence to sue you for defamation!

"All your sales tactics are my own. Are you sure I don't have any other tricks?"

Lu Ke narrowed his eyes and bargained reasonably, "Besides, the people of that tribe will go straight to trouble as soon as they get angry. Why are they waiting for you to get the evidence before taking action?"

This... seems to be the truth.

The middle-aged store manager hesitated for a moment and felt that it was time to take a step back. There was no need to affect big business for a little money.

"Then for our past friendship, two hundred thousand taels."

"I remember that the Hyuga clan also ordered a lot of ninja tools from you, right?"

"...150,000 taels."

"Akimichi, Yamazaka, Aburame, Inu..."

"One hundred thousand taels, young man, don't go too far." The middle-aged store manager's face darkened.

What's excessive is you, a black-hearted store that charges a serious premium!
Lu Ke decided to quit while he was ahead and handed over the money with a distressed look on his face, repeating the name and location of the store in his mind.

This black-hearted shop will be demolished sooner or later!
