Divine Convenience Store

Chapter 43: The Power of Positive Feedback

"That'll be 120 low-grade or 12 intermediate-grade spirit stones." Lin Mo with his usual business smile rang up the customer's items.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper. Your exchange is still baffling but I'm glad your items have become cheaper. I can now buy more of these."

The customer, who was a disciple from the Azure Gale Sect happily handed over the spirit stones as his eyes sparkled, lifting a box of Spirit-Infused Potato Chips that contained 24 60-gram packs. After the price adjustment, it went down from 2 Spirit Stones (Unspecified Quality) to 5 low-grade Spirit Stones.

Lin Mo tried to understand the reasoning for that price but since he had no idea about the actual economic state of this region of the Realm of Nine Heavens, he gave up and asked the system for an explanation instead.

Apparently, it was adjusted according to the data gathered from the past three days. The previous pricing was set roughly without considering the economic impact of the store's unique items because the Divine Pantheon simply wanted to sell them and spread the name of the store.

With the Pavilion Master raising the concern on the pricing, the need to regulate the prices is now adopted to the Divine System Interface.

The system's explanation made sense. However, Lin Mo had no idea if the Divine Pantheon's disinterest in their actual profit from the sold items changed.

Initially, Taihao told him that he just needed to sell and spread the name of the store.

He made a mental note to ask that when one of them showed up again.

Aside from that, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret at the lost opportunity to rake in even more spirit stones from the earlier clueless customers. He also benefited from those, after all.

Now, the +1 Spirit Stone for Customer Satisfaction has also been adjusted. Instead of the fix +1 Spirit Stone, he could only get at most, a fourth of the value of the transaction.

For example, the transaction just now.

[Customer Satisfaction Enhanced: +0.3 Spirit Stones]

While that's not too bad, he will now have to goad his rich customers to buy more and ensure their satisfaction to get a fat bonus to his Personal Balance.

Still, the adjusted prices seemed to be drawing more customers, or at the very least, they were getting convinced to fork out more of their stashed spirit stones whenever they thought it was a fair price for the item they got their eyes on. That ultimately worked in the store's favor.

As the Azure Gale Sect disciple left with his prized box of Spirit-Infused Potato Chips, Liu Xiaoyu who had nothing better to do again returned to the counter, grinning from ear to ear.

"Boss, is that snack really that good? While there's the additional value of the Spirit Infusion, isn't it merely a potato? And yet he bought the whole box!"

Lin Mo chuckled while shaking his head. "Why don't you try one for yourself? You'll know why they liked it."

"Oh? Is it a favorite snack from your world too, boss? Okay! I decided. I'll taste every cheap snack our store is selling! It will be easier to coax more customers into buying them if I recommend them because I can attest to their taste!"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, amused by her sudden enthusiasm.

"Sure, Xiaoyu. Go ahead. But remember, you'll have to pay for what you eat. No freebies, even for my prodigious assistant."

"Boss! I'm doing this for the store! It's re

One of the female disciples answered as she raised the still-packed Spirit Tress Comb.

Upon hearing that, Lin Mo couldn't help but raise his brows, trying to wrap his head around it…

How did the comb become crucial to their mission? Did they comb the hair of an evil witch, satisfying her with her revitalized hair?
