Pokémon Origins

"Well... now that you mention it, it does seem a little bit like that."

Zi Mu touched his chin, thought about it carefully, and said, "Logically speaking... although the products in our store are cheap, they shouldn't be popular..."

Although there are not many elf breeding houses in the country, there are nearly 10,000 of them, and products like elf candy are available in every elf breeding house. Those old-fashioned elf breeding houses have basically monopolized the online shopping popularity of elf candy.

All things are difficult at the beginning. It is almost impossible for a product, or any new thing, to gain a foothold in a saturated market without the support of popularity.

Even if your quality is the same as those of old-brand products, or even slightly better, customers will still prefer old-brand products.

This involves the principle of preconceived ideas. Just like reading a novel, when you read the first book of a certain genre, you will subconsciously identify it as what this genre should be like. Unless the other half of the novel is amazing, this seed will thrive.

So, it may not be very obvious in the physical store, but for a new store like theirs, the online store will basically not have a good start. After all, Su Xier is just a mid-level breeder, and the best she can do is to make mid-level elf products, so she can't make a name for herself at all.

"Do you think it could be an undercover agent from another store trying to find out about our products?"

Zi Mu stared at the chat history seriously, and after a moment, he blurted out a sentence that seemed to be well thought out.

"It's not that bad, brother..." Su Xier's expression froze, she shook her head and said, "This kind of thing is basically impossible. There is healthy competition between us breeders and breeding houses. Even if there is, they probably won't look down on a freshman like us."

"Now that you mention it... it's true..." After hearing what Su Xier said, Zi Mu rubbed his temple and said, "Who cares? As long as he can make money, it's fine. Since he wants it, let's give it to him. If he doesn't interfere with our business, then he'll be worshipped as a god!"

Anyway, we can make money and the store is doing legitimate business, so we are not afraid of anything.

"Ah."

Su Xier nodded, opened the last storage ball, and began to pick out the elf candies.

"Ah~"

Zi Mu sighed and turned his gaze back to his computer screen.

At this moment, the customer named Xiaoyi, who is a handsome guy, also sent a message.

Xiaoyi is a handsome guy: Okay, send it to me, thank you.

Yushulinfeng Zi Xiaomu: You’re welcome, dear. We need to pay 250 Elf Coins for the space transfer fee. Is that a problem?

After typing this sentence, Zi Mu lay down on his lazy chair, looking at the computer screen and fell into a brief state of anxiety.

Although 250 Pokémon Coins may seem insignificant, it is not a small amount for the vast majority of civilian trainers in this world.

The normal express delivery fee is only about 20 Elf Coins, and many people still cannot accept the delivery fee of 250 Elf Coins.

Just like the several customers that Zimu had dealt with before, they all backed off after hearing the 250 Elf Coins delivery fee. Zimu had no choice but to pay for it out of his own pocket...

"This person... buys ten at a time... he shouldn't be so stingy..."

Having said that, Zi Mu still felt unsure.

Just when Zi Mu was feeling anxious, a message came.

Xiaoyi is a handsome boy: What? Can’t ordinary express delivery be used?

Zi Mu looked at the content of the message, his expression instantly became nervous, and his fingers were flying.

Yushulinfengzixiaomu: That's right, dear. It's not convenient for us to send it by ordinary express delivery now. It may take two days to arrive, but we can guarantee that it will be shipped within three days~

What a joke! We are still on the plane, how can we give you ordinary express delivery?

Xiaoyi is a handsome guy: Two days... Although it is shipped within three days, it is indeed much slower than other stores...

If you include the express delivery time, a longer distance might take up to a week, and not everyone has the patience to wait...

Yushulinfengzixiaomu: Sorry for the kiss... This is what it looks like now. I'm sorry for the inconvenience (heart)

Zi Mu lay on the lazy chair, holding his forehead with his hand.

Judging from the current situation, this guy is not going to buy it... Why hasn't he replied to my message yet... No way... No way... Brother, please reply to me...

The waiting time was torturous, not to mention that Zi Mu didn't like waiting. After about two minutes, Zi Mu couldn't bear it any longer.

Yushulinfengzixiaomu: Dear, do you still need delivery? The goods are ready.

After thinking for a while, Zi Mu typed another string of words.

Yushulinfeng Zi Xiaomu: Our store has just opened. If you are willing to use space teleportation, we can subsidize you with a discount of 150 Elf Coins, which means that the teleportation fee will only be Elf Coins. Do you think this is okay?

Zi Mu looked at his own words and touched his chin with satisfaction. He thought to himself: "I am really a little genius in business."

Hey, a discount of 100 Elf Coins, isn’t that enough for you?

1 minute has passed

Um...

5 minute has passed

Um...

Half an hour passed

Um...

"Fuck you, King!"

Zi Mu stared at the screen, gritting his teeth.

"Why are both of us like this?"

During the waiting time, he had already succumbed to the "tyranny" of another guest and paid another 150 Elf Coins for the space transfer fee...

"Ah~"

Su Xier looked at Zi Mu who had a headache. She held her cheeks with both hands, swinging her long white legs casually, and sighed helplessly.

She had already sent the "I'm Not Superman" order over and received a five-star rating. She also didn't understand why Zi Mu couldn't get the delivery fee.

Is it personality charm? No way... It's just a virtual image and name...

Wait? The name...

"Drip~"

Just when Su Xier was about to persuade Zi Mu to change his online name, the news came that Xiao Yi was a handsome guy, and the two of them focused their eyes on Zi Mu's computer screen.

Xiaoyi is a handsome guy: Huh? It hasn’t been shipped yet... I thought 250 Elf Coins was fixed, so I went to have a meal, thinking that I would confirm receipt and pay the shipping fee after the goods arrived... In this case, I’m really embarrassed, please send it to me! (shy)

"?"

Zi Mu looked at the message, opened and closed his mouth, and repeated it several times. In the end, he said nothing and typed a string of words on the screen with a dark face.

Yushu Linfeng Zi Xiaomu: OK, dear. (Wither)

Xiaoyi is a handsome guy: Thank you so much! (Rose) Oh, yes, my transfer code is in my space, did you see it?

Yushu Linfeng Zi Xiaomu: OK, kiss. (Frustrated)

Seeing the buyer's confirmation, Zi Mu retrieved the space code from his space, then lowered his head and got busy without saying a word. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Why aren't you talking, my little genius?"

Wow, happy September!
