Lin Xu pondered for a moment.
It seems that the upcoming novice trials will not only involve facing the threat of Chen Shaojie, but also Xiao Xing, who will be a troublesome opponent.
Even if he deals with Chen Shaojie, it will most likely still attract Xiao Xing's wrath.
This made his preparations for countering the invaders even more necessary.
But with so many cards in his hand, Lin Xu didn't really take these rookies seriously.
Because he has a plan that will allow him to be completely unrestrained during the beginner phase.
Even established nobles couldn't possibly stand up to him during his early stages.
The first step in completing this plan is to find a suitable partner to sell the peach juice puree.
"Hopefully, this bunch will give me some fun."
Thinking this through, Lin Xu didn't immediately go out.
He decided to wait a little longer to see if any other strange and unsavory characters would appear and try to block his door.
However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, there was no knocking on the door.
Lin Xu let out a breath.
It seems no one else is coming to visit for the time being.
This saved a lot of time, and I can finally go out to discuss business.
Lin Xu jumped up from his chair and walked out the door.
...
The streets are much more lively now.
Although only a portion of people awaken to become island lords each year, the novice test is just around the corner, and both nobles and commoners are actively preparing at this time.
As a result, all kinds of shops related to the island owner on the street have a lot of customers.
Lin Xu's target is not the merchants with the most of these types of customers.
He recalled the map of the commercial street in his mind, turned left and right along a road, and finally found a shop at the deepest part of a street.
This is a shop that mainly sells medical equipment.
She was the first potential collaborator on Lin Xu's list of potential partners.
Of course, although this store has a specific area of ​​specialization, all stores generally have a purchasing business and will purchase all kinds of island owner products.
After all, the profits from selling island products are incredibly high, and even reselling them separately is profitable; no business would pass up such an opportunity.
It wasn't that Lin Xu didn't want to go back to that seed shop.
He actually had a very good impression of that store, and if given the opportunity, he would still like to cooperate with that store again.
However, for the next collaboration, he planned to purchase some useful equipment, which the seed shop was unlikely to provide.
In addition, the shop also knows a lot about him, and he plans to use the Bai family badge to gain some benefits by creating an information gap, so he does not plan to make a move at the seed shop.
He arrived at the shop, already wearing the White Family's knight badge on his chest.
The shop assistants were indeed very friendly, greeting Lin Xu respectfully and leading him into the shop.
"Hello sir, what kind of equipment do you need to purchase?"
The shop assistant spoke with a slight bow and scrape.
Lin Xu's eyes flickered, and he took out a thermos from his spatial storage:
"I have something I'd like to trade with the shop. Can you send someone in charge of it?"
"trade?"
The shop assistant was somewhat surprised.
But unlike Lin Xu's request, when the shop assistant heard that Lin Xu had business, she didn't immediately go to find the manager. Instead, she reached out to take the thermos from Lin Xu's hand.
"Sir, may I verify the contents of this place first?"
Lin Xu was somewhat surprised.
This clerk seems a bit different. Is this something a regular clerk could handle?
However, Lin Xu didn't mind wasting a little peach juice and handed over the thermos.
The shop assistant smiled ingratiatingly, then unscrewed the lid of the thermos, revealing the peach juice inside.
"This is?"
Some of the shop assistants couldn't recognize the origin of the peach juice.
Lin Xu saw it and knew that the shop assistant was not some kind of expert pretending to be weak, otherwise, with the island lord's or superhuman perception, he would have been able to sense the vitality in the peach juice.
He then spoke:
"If you want to know what's in here, you can take a sip and try it."
The shop assistant frowned, but still suppressed his doubts and tried a sip of peach juice.
"So delicious!"
The shop assistant's eyes widened immediately, then she sensed something was wrong:
"This is...life force! This liquid actually contains so much life force! It's a life potion!"
The preciousness of life-saving drugs is known to anyone who wants to extend their lifespan.
This thing can be considered a lifespan that can be purchased. It can definitely fetch a high price if sold. Anyone who wants to extend their lifespan and stay young will not want to miss out on a bottle of life potion.
This "knight" actually possesses a new type of life potion; this is definitely a big business opportunity!
The shop assistant's gaze towards Lin Xu immediately changed.
But at this moment, his eyes did not show any surprise or desire to report; instead, they revealed a hint of malice and calculation.
Lin Xu noticed the gazes, but he realized that the shop assistant's gazes didn't seem to be directed at him, but rather at the shop itself.
At this moment, the shop assistant thought for a moment, carefully put the lid on the thermos, and then looked at Lin Xu with a burning gaze:
"My lord knight, I have a message for you to read. Please read it silently and do not speak it aloud."
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Is this shop assistant plotting something but not wanting to reveal it? Is it because they don't want to be recorded as evidence by the shop's security cameras?
I never expected that just by looking for a shop to sell supplies, I would encounter such a thing.
At this moment, the shop assistant carefully put the thermos cup into his pocket, then took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote some words on the paper.
The shop assistant handed the papers to Lin Xu, waiting expectantly for his response.
Lin Xu's curiosity was piqued, and he began to read the contents of the paper:
[If you want a good price, Sir Knight, it's best not to sell this miracle drug in this shop. If you go to Chen's shop on the east side of the corner, you can increase your profit margin to 2.5%, which will definitely earn you more than here!]
Lin Xu carefully examined the contents of the paper, then looked at the expectant look in the shop assistant's eyes, and a realization dawned on him.
He had long heard that the nobility had a serious influence over genuine merchants.
For example, Lin Xu chose to trade in this shop because the person in charge of the shop is a real businessman.
Although this person in charge also holds a noble rank, it was obtained by exchanging a large amount of money and shares, making it a level lower than a knight or lord.
Ordinary nobles only used these sold titles as a means of bribing lackeys, just like buying licenses; it was all a way to amass wealth, and they didn't really regard these merchants as nobles.
Therefore, these types of businessmen are often in a difficult situation, and they are more particular about rules when doing business. They rarely breach contracts unless the profit is large enough.
However, such businesses are usually infiltrated by various nobles. Many nobles would mix people into these businesses, and the shop assistants, managers, drivers, and other positions could all be people sent by nobles.
In retrospect, this shop assistant was merely a pawn of the nobility, sent to monitor the shop's business.
Seeing the enormous profits from the life-saving potion, the shop assistant couldn't resist revealing his identity, hoping to steal the big deal.
The Chen family shop in the corner that the shop assistant mentioned sounded somewhat familiar.
Lin Xu asked:
"Could that Chen family shop be owned by the Chen family in that school district?"
The shop assistant smiled smugly and quickly wrote on the paper:
"Of course. That's the property of Viscount Chen, one of the top noble families in this school district. Even a knight would feel honored to do business with them, wouldn't he?"
