In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Olivia hadn't even had a chance to rest when the phone rang.

Su talked to her for more than an hour, recounting what happened after he went out to keep his appointment, as well as some things about Anna and his conflict with Camille. Finally, the three shadow clones were dispelled one after another, and the return of his memories had a powerful mental impact, which made him unable to hold on any longer and hang up the phone to go to sleep.

……

P.S.: Another day of updating at 4 AM. I feel like I'm having a run of bad luck this year; so many things have happened.

Chapter 35 Olivia Wants to Be a Chakra Ninja?

As dawn slowly drew back the curtain, another vibrant and colorful morning arrived, bringing with it both freshness and bustle to the world.

"Another day full of anticipation!"

Standing in front of the French windows, bathed in sunlight, Su stretched and turned to look at Olivia and Anna, who were chatting happily on the sofa.

Half an hour ago, Su called Olivia and Anna to her room. After all, they would be traveling together in the future, so they needed to get to know each other as soon as possible.

To be honest, Su was a little worried at first.

Although Olivia is just an ordinary person, she has a strong personality and is willing to fight. Even when she enters a wolf's den and is surrounded by wolves, she still dares to draw her gun. Anna, needless to say, is an old vampire who has lived for hundreds of years. Although she is relatively friendly to humans, she only doesn't regard them as blood bags or ants. It is unlikely that they truly respect each other; at most, they have only superficial interactions.

One is a killer seeking revenge, and the other is a vampire determined to save her mother. They are also supporting characters in two different dramas. Seeing them together really made Su feel a lot of emotions. She didn't expect them to get along well, she just hoped they wouldn't cause her any trouble.

In fact, Su's worries were somewhat unnecessary.

Olivia, influenced by Sue, also began to be interested in supernatural creatures, while Anna was cautious due to Sue's sinister influence. Their first meeting was quite harmonious.

Whether they are truly close or just superficial sisters, as long as it doesn't affect the Su family, he doesn't care. He can be friends with any of them, but he won't require them to be friends with each other.

Su looked at Anna. He really wanted to try whether the Sealing Evil Seal could seal Anna's vampire bloodline, but the Sealing Evil Seal had an awkward point: the person being used on had to take off their shirt. If Anna were a man, it would be fine, but she was a woman... which was very awkward.

Never mind, I'll verify it when I encounter another male vampire later.

"Oh!"

Su summoned three shadow clones.

When the shadow clone appeared, Olivia was startled, but then she noticed that Anna beside her was very calm, as if she had known all along, which made her subconsciously regain her composure.

"These are my shadow clones. Your job is to be their sparring partner. Be careful not to actually attack them. Once the shadow clones disappear, I'll have to summon them back from outside, which is a hassle." After explaining her job to Anna, Su took Olivia, the driver, and left the hotel.

What is a shadow clone?

"It's a ninjutsu that distributes the chakra within the body evenly and uses it to create physical clones. These clones can use ninjutsu to fight just like the user and have a certain degree of resilience. After the clones are dispelled, their memories and experiences return to the original user," Su explained with a smile.

Olivia nodded as if she understood, then hesitated before tentatively asking, "Chakra is a kind of energy, right? The energy used to perform ninjutsu. You said before that you were the only one who possessed chakra, the only chakra ninja. Why? Is it because others cannot possess or control chakra?"

"You want to be a ninja?"

"No, no, I want to be a chakra ninja like you."

"Chakra is an energy produced by the perfect fusion of physical and spiritual energy within the body's cells. Chakra extracted through special methods can only be used to perform techniques after hand seals are formed. Generally speaking, most people can refine chakra and become chakra ninjas; the only difference is the amount of chakra they possess, however..."

Su was unsure whether people in this world could cultivate chakra. He only knew that those who wore ninja headbands produced by the system were ninjas recognized by the system. Since they were ninjas recognized by the system, they were very likely capable of cultivating chakra.

Olivia quickly pressed, "But what?"

Su shook her head: "I'll teach you the chakra extraction technique when I have time. You can try to see if you can extract chakra."

Although the chances are slim, it's worth a try.

The system has the function of training ninjas. If the natives of this world can acquire chakra and become ninjas by relying on chakra extraction techniques, then wouldn't this function of the system become useless? Even if the goal is to train ninjas and create a ninja world, it should be done through the host himself.

Let Olivia try it herself first. If it doesn't work, we'll give it to her next time we draw a ninja headband.

Olivia nodded, suppressing her anticipation and excitement. "Where are we going?"

"First, find a silversmith shop that does custom orders. I need silver ninja tools made. Later, I'll contact the owner of William Berg's restaurant to meet and talk, and try to buy the restaurant smoothly. Oh, and remember to remind me to contact Luke after I'm done. I want him to introduce me to an art teacher." Su had already planned everything out.

Although the ninja tools produced by the system are well-made and easy to use, they are not made of silver. It is necessary to order a batch of silver ninja tools specifically for dealing with vampires and werewolves. Ninja tools are consumables, and the cost of silver ninja tools will definitely not be low, but it can also be a long-term solution.

William Berg restaurant needs no introduction.

As for asking Luke to introduce an art teacher, one reason was to prepare for the Super Beast forgery painting, and the other was to try to meet Clari, the female lead of Shadow Hunter, and her mother Jocelyn.

Before she came into contact with the Shadow World, Clary was a very good art student and even passed the interview for Brooklyn Academy of Art. Her talent for painting was inherited from her mother, Jocelyn.

Clary should still be a little girl right now, right?

……

P.S.: Please give me flowers, add this to your favorites, and tip! Also, researching was absolutely exhausting! I wanted to write about Gossip Girl and Pretty Young Liars, but unfortunately I haven't seen either of those shows. I wasted several hours researching, otherwise this chapter would have been updated much earlier.

Chapter 36 Custom-Made Kunai and Number Games

Most silver shops and jewelry stores in Brooklyn offer customization services, and even some jewelry stores and luxury brands accept custom silver products. Of course, the cost is higher, and if you need to hire a well-known designer, the cost will be even higher.

Sue thought Olivia would find a decent store nearby, but to her surprise, she had suddenly become more sophisticated in her spending habits and drove him away from Brooklyn to Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Fifth Avenue is one of New York's iconic locations, with numerous attractions. From south to north, there are the Empire State Building, the New York Public Library, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Central Sheep Park, among others. Near Central Sheep Park are famous art museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Solomon Guggenheim Museum, and the Cooper Hewitt Museum of Design, hence the name "Museum Avenue".

Fifth Avenue has a Dream Street, which is home to many famous brand stores and is considered a high-end shopping district.

The two parked their car outside, bought two cups of coffee, and started strolling around.

Su didn't know much about luxury brands. Before he transmigrated, he didn't even recognize many domestic luxury brands, let alone foreign ones. Although Olivia was a native of the area and her family was very wealthy, her childhood experiences meant that she wouldn't be interested in things that ordinary girls or socialites were interested in.

Where do you think she got her agility and marksmanship?

How many girls would carry a gun with them?

Even if someone carries a gun, it's only for their own safety; whether they dare to fire it is another matter.

Passing by a jewelry store, Olivia asked Sue, "How's this one? It looks pretty crowded."

Ms. Su shook her head: "A large number of people doesn't necessarily mean a high price."

Olivia shrugged.

The two continued walking along the pedestrian street, passing many jewelry stores along the way. Some were too crowded, while others seemed rather ordinary in terms of quality and scale. A few stores seemed nice, but as soon as Su and Olivia mentioned that they wanted to order custom silver items, the salespeople's attitudes instantly turned cold. Their indifferent and perfunctory attitudes made the two turn around and leave.

“Tiffany…I’ve heard of this brand.”

Finally, Su encountered a brand she recognized.

"What would you two like to see? Our Tiffany & Co. brand was founded in New York in 1837. We are a renowned jewelry and watch brand, the queen of the jewelry world, famous for our diamonds. Innovation and design are the two cornerstones of our Tiffany & Co. brand heritage, and our themes of love and beauty, romance and dreams have been celebrated for nearly two centuries." The sales assistant greeted us with a smile before even speaking, and began to introduce the brand with great enthusiasm.

Based on their enthusiasm and warm service, as long as it meets my needs, this is the place.

"I would like to order a batch of silver products."

"Sir, Tiffany is definitely your best choice. We at Tiffany were first famous for our silverware, and became even more famous after introducing silver ornaments in 1851."

This sales assistant really went all out to introduce and promote the Tiffany brand.

"Please come with me, this is our store's most famous designer." The sales assistant led them to a counter and introduced the designer, who was attending to other customers, to Sue and Olivia.

"These two guests would like to order silver items." The sales assistant spoke to the designer, then turned to Sue and Olivia: "What would you like to order? Rings, necklaces, or earrings? Our custom tableware is also very good, whether for everyday use or for collection."

Su flicked his sleeve and took out a kunai. The kunai twirled nimbly between his hand and wrist like a butterfly, leaving the designer and sales assistants dumbfounded, and even the onlookers were captivated.

"Snapped."

Su held the kunai and handed it to the designer with a smile: "This is the product I want to order. It's all silver, and the specifications are the same. As for the quantity, I'll start with ten. If I'm satisfied, I'll order in bulk. Also, I won't be staying in New York for too long. I hope to see the finished product in three days."

"As for the price..."

Su winked at Olivia, then turned to the somewhat bewildered sales assistant: "If you had to choose a number between 1 and 10, what would you pick?"

"Sir, your request is a bit too much..." The sales assistant had never seen anyone order something like this before. Was it a weapon?

Ms. Su interrupted the sales assistant with a smile and said confidently, "Answer my question first. After you answer, I believe the question you want to ask will no longer be a question."

The sales assistant thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go with number 3. I've been working at this store for three years."

Su nodded: "Tell me a total price for materials, design, or expedited production, and I'll pay three times that amount. In addition, if I'm satisfied with the finished product, I'll give you three percent of the payment for all future orders as a bonus."

Pay three times the total cost?

Is there an additional 3% of the payment amount?

If the cost is one million, three times that is three million. Three percent of three million is ninety thousand. If the cost is split between two people, each person gets forty-five thousand US dollars.

Forty-five thousand US dollars.

A sales associate's annual salary is roughly at this level.

"Sir, are you serious?" The sales assistant stammered excitedly, and the designer stood up even more excitedly.

Mrs. Su nodded with a smile: "Of course I'm serious."

To prove that the Su family was serious, Olivia, standing next to her, skillfully opened her shoulder bag and took out several stacks of US dollars: "My personal suggestion is that you should calculate the price now."

"Okay, okay, we'll go right away."

The sales assistant seemed to snap out of a daze; the designer beside her was already observing Kunai, multitasking simultaneously, his fingers flying across the calculator.

Chapter 37: A Minor Embarrassment from Flaunting Wealth and Serena's Flirting

Almost all the store's staff were mobilized, including sales assistants, designers, counter salespersons, and the manager. They calculated the numbers several times and finally came up with a number that almost made Su's back hurt.

One hundred thousand dollars!

Yes, you heard right, and they didn't miscalculate either. It's only $100,000!

This is Fifth Avenue, this is Tiffany's, and this is all you offer? Just $100,000?

Three times $100,000 only amounts to $300,000. Three percent of $300,000 is only $9,000. Just $9,000? Are you all so surprised and upset? Did you really have to mobilize the entire store's staff? And that manager, what are you doing getting involved? You're the manager, is it really worth it for such a small amount of money?

At this moment, Su felt no smugness at all, but rather a little embarrassed, thinking that their reaction was making a mountain out of a molehill.

In fact, it's not that they're making a mountain out of a molehill or that they've never seen money before.

Although they work for luxury brands and handle high sales volumes every day, their salaries are not high. Su felt that nine thousand US dollars was too little, but for them it was equivalent to several months' salary. They could earn several thousand US dollars from just one deal, so it was normal for them to be excited.

Moreover, this is an extra bonus; sales associates, designers, and other employees all receive a commission from this sale.
