I loaded the dream game

"...What?" The girl blinked, looking confused.

Obviously, she didn't seem to understand it very well just by saying that.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll take you to practice it myself."

.......

Chapter 739: Memories That Will Never Be Forgotten

The square in front of the flower and grass market was particularly lively today, with a large crowd of onlookers.

"What are you doing here?"

"I don't know. I just came over to take a look because there are so many people here... Do you know?"

"Eh? Isn't this a discount promotion?"

There was a bustling buzz of discussion from the crowd watching.

"I heard that there is a magical nutrient solution for sale here. If you pour it on the flowers, it will make them grow more energetic and sparkle!"

"real or fake?"

"How can so many people still watch if it's fake?"

"That's true... Make way, let me go in and take a look!"

After squeezing into the crowd, I could see a small stall inside, with a young boy and a little girl with gray hair standing next to them.

The young man poured the liquid in the bottle on a flower. The wilted leaves and flowers seemed to instantly perk up and emit a faint star-like fluorescence, which looked particularly beautiful.

The crowd erupted in loud exclamations and cheers.

Despite this, many people are still hesitant. After all, this seems unreliable no matter how you look at it.

"Please note that due to limited production, only thirty bottles will be sold."

As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately bought a bottle with the mentality of “Let’s give it a try, it’s not expensive anyway”.

With someone taking the lead, the crowd soon became agitated again.

"Two bottles please!"

377 "I want three bottles!"

"I came here first, right?"

"Give me five bottles!"

"Wait, you bought everything. What should we buy?"

"Who cares about you? Give me five more bottles!"

People started arguing, and then, under the leadership of someone unknown, they started bidding.

From this point on, they were no longer arguing with the mentality of "buying the next desired product", but more of a sullen argument.

After several rounds of internal competition, the prices of the items were driven up step by step, and finally they were sold at an average price thirty times the initial selling price. Even a few pots of flowers next to them that had not yet been displayed and were only used as decorations were bought at a high price... I don't know what these people are thinking.

In just less than an afternoon, Xia Zhi made a fortune.

"Like this, it's very important to identify the right target group."

After selling the cart at the second-hand market and collecting the start-up capital, Xia Zhi handed the bulging purse to the girl and said to her:

"The target customers of merchants in the flower market are those who buy flowers, and our target is naturally both of them (bidc)."

After all, whether you are selling flowers or buying flowers to raise, everyone wants their flowers to grow better.

Precisely because everyone grows flowers, there is a huge potential market without having to compete with the already fierce market.

On this basis, launching products with your own characteristics will naturally attract enough customers who are easily fooled... and easily impressed.

After using gimmicks to attract enough people in the early stage, the subsequent sales have nothing to do with the quality of the product itself. As long as the marketing strategy is appropriate, even if it is filled with ordinary well water, it can be sold out completely... Isn't there a saying that goes like this? Traffic is money. As long as the traffic is sufficient, even if the conversion rate is low, you can always make money. On this basis, the higher the average customer price, the higher the final profit will naturally be.

"But what if we are discovered?"

The girl asked with some concern.

But she knew that the so-called nutrient solution was just ordinary nutrient solution that the boy bought on the roadside, and it was even diluted with water.

As for the magical light and shadow effects, they were just magic she added to them and would disappear within a day.

It will definitely be discovered by then, right?

"So we have to leave here today." Xia Zhi answered as a matter of course.

"..."

The girl lowered her head and looked at the purse in her arms, nodded thoughtfully, as if she understood something.

I see. Is this the correct way to make money? I feel like it's a little unreliable.

"Actually it's not bad."

After all, what he sells is genuine nutrient solution, just with a slightly higher premium.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and said:

"I know a guy with a bad personality. He uses magic to turn copper coins into gold coins, sells fake medicine without any certification, and claims to be a fortune teller. He sells ordinary ropes and stones as magic items by just injecting a little magic into them."

Isn't that similar to you?

The girl complained in her heart... and memorized these methods in her mind.

"Of course, after you become a witch, you won't need to use such methods anymore."

After all, witches in this world are actually very scarce. If they are a little more diligent and just take on some commissions, it will be enough to support themselves, right? Xia Zhi thought.

A witch?

The girl thought about it and asked curiously:

"If I become a witch, will I be able to do things that I couldn't do before?"

"Magic is used to do things like that," said Xia Zhi.

After hearing his answer, the girl fell into deep thought.

……

Because he made money, Xia Zhi took the girl out for another good meal.

Before leaving, as a commemoration, Xia Zhi bought a white jasmine flower from a little girl selling flowers on the roadside and gently inserted it into the girl's gray hair.

"..."

The girl gently touched the petals on her head, feeling the delicate touch from her fingertips and the lingering faint floral fragrance. She pursed her lips slightly, feeling a little happy.

but……

"It will wither in two days, right?"

If it is used as a commemoration of this journey and memories, it feels a bit too fragile.

"No." Xia Zhi replied: "Because the flowers I bought are fake."

"..."

Looking at the girl's expression at the moment, Xia Zhi chuckled, rubbed her head and said, "I was just kidding."

Although it is a lie, the first half of the sentence is true.

"Since this is my first gift to you, I won't let it stay so short." Xia Zhi touched her hair and said, "As long as you don't forget, this flower will never wither."

Is there such magic attached?

The girl thought to herself and gently touched the flower on her head.

She likes this flower very much

So

"I won't forget..."

She whispered in her heart.

"...But, you know what?" On the other side, Xia Zhi seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said with a sigh:

"Compared to girls, most boys only receive their first bouquet of flowers at their funerals."

Hearing his words, the girl hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want me to give you a bouquet of flowers?"

Summer Solstice:…

Although I know you mean well, why does it feel a little weird when I listen to it together?

.......

Chapter 740: Summer Solstice: It was a close call. I almost raised another one that went astray.

After that, the two traveled together for more than a month.

Just as Xia Zhi said, although the weather has been hot recently, the white jasmine flower shows no signs of withering. It still looks delicate and tender, with a faint floral fragrance.

This made the girl feel completely relieved... She didn't really want to run around wearing a dried flower.

……

On this day, the two came to a new country.

You can see it from afar in the sky. This is a country divided into two by a long canal. The spacious river flows quietly, reflecting the sparkling light in the sun.

Unlike the countries I've visited before, there is no entrance fee here.

"This is our country's welfare policy for travelers."

This is how the guard at the city gate explained it.

This made Xia Zhi naturally develop some favorable feelings towards this country.

Because the characteristic of this country is the canal, Xia Zhi first took the girl to the canal for a tour.

The midday breeze blew slowly, rippling the river surface with tiny waves, and the ripples spread out like pieces of shimmering silver scales.

The wind on the river bank was stronger than other places. The girl held down her sun hat with her hands. The breeze with the moist air from the river seemed to blow away the midday heat, making people feel a little cool.

"Would you like some cold drinks, my two travelers?"

An old woman asked as she came up to them pushing a cart wrapped in a quilt.

“It’s free.”

The girl blinked.

It feels like everything is free here... She likes this country very much.

"How did you know we were travelers?"

Xia Zhi took the free cold drink and asked curiously.

“Because locals rarely go near the river, especially around here.”

As the old woman spoke, she pointed in a direction along the river bank.

Xia Zhi looked in the direction she pointed and saw a "Keep Out" sign.

"Because someone has drowned here before."

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, the old woman answered and explained.

"About a few years ago, two girls were playing by the riverbank here. I heard that they were very good friends... While playing, one girl accidentally fell down and kept shouting for help. The other girl must have been scared and turned around and ran away. By the time the adults behind came and rescued the child, it was too late..."

"Later, the richest businessman in our country paid for the construction of guardrails on the shore and put up these warning signs to prohibit people... especially children like you, a little girl, from getting close."

Hearing this, the girl could not help but lean towards Xia Zhi's back... To be honest, she had not yet learned how to swim. And drowning did not leave her with a good memory.

Xia Zhi gently rubbed her head and calmed her down.

"By the way, that businessman is also the biggest philanthropist in our country. Your entrance fee to the city and my free cold drink are all policies that are made possible by his financial support."
