In fact, in addition to magic weapons, Su Mu has also considered raising spiritual beasts as bodyguards.
Spiritual beasts tamed by beast masters are loyal to their masters, and there is no need to worry about backlash. However, spiritual beasts also have a huge disadvantage, which is that they are expensive.
For example, Kevin's three-headed dog Xiaoguai cost 2 million euros.
Of course, Xiaoguai has the blood of Cerberus in his body, which is worth a lot of money.
This is normal, just like those famous dogs and cats with champion bloodlines on the earth, which are often terribly expensive.
No matter whether this bloodline is real or not, as long as it has a gimmick, it has a certain level of prestige, and if it has a certain level of prestige, it has to be expensive!
The movie "Big Shot" said it well: What is a successful person? A successful person buys the most expensive things, not the best.
Of course, there are cheap three-headed dogs. But even if they are cheap, they will cost at least 100,000 or 200,000 euros. If you want something more powerful, the price will be even higher.
This is just the cost of buying the spirit beast itself. It will cost a lot of money to raise it long-term.
Most spiritual beasts have their favorite living environment. For example, the three-headed dog likes to roll around in volcanic magma, while Shuhu, who has a horse body, bird wings, a human face and a snake tail and whose hobby is to lift people up high, likes to live next to lakes and swamps.
Although they can survive outside these places, they will definitely not be in a good mood and are prone to getting sick due to acclimatization.
If you want to create a suitable living environment for spiritual beasts, make them happy, reduce diseases and strengthen their physical fitness, an environmental magic circle is indispensable.
The environmental magic array can create an environment that spirit beasts like and adapt to anywhere.
But again, that’s a lot of money.
In addition, maintaining the operation of the magic circle requires the consumption of spirit crystal cards, which is a long-term consumption.
The rations, canned food, nutritional supplements, etc. consumed by the spirit beasts are another considerable expense.
So when you think about it, it is better to buy a magic weapon than a spirit beast as a bodyguard. It costs less and causes less trouble.
However, after Su Mu thought about it, he felt that this spirit beast was actually a huge business opportunity.
When he was making mobile games in his previous life, he knew very well that the pet system was very profitable. In some pet-focused games, a top-quality pet could be sold at a sky-high price, and it wasn't in-game currency, it was real money!
If he could learn some professional knowledge about animal taming in the future and cultivate some high-end companion, guard and functional pets, they would definitely sell well!
By then, the price of a top-quality SSR pet would probably skyrocket!
Moreover, you can replace a batch of spiritual pets every now and then to promote people's continued desire to buy.
The only pity is that most of the spirit beasts have strange shapes and cannot transform into human form. Otherwise, with Su Mu's ability, he would surely make the cultivators wave their money and cry to buy a "wife"!
But can you try some magic?
Su Mu recalled the flood release ceremony he saw at Dujiangyan. The lifelike illusion left a deep impression on him.
What if we make a magical instrument that can create an illusion, and then hire a great painter and modeler to equip the spirit beasts with the magical instrument, so that they can be transformed into young girls, either loli or mature women, under the effect of the illusion, can this boost sales?
Oh, by the way, we also need to get a group of handsome guys with various styles, some evil and domineering, some gentle and considerate, to develop the female market.
Hey, should we find someone to do the dubbing or something?
In addition, it would be best if this illusion device could be set up so that the buyer could decide whether to open it or not, so as to satisfy some hardcore Ultraman-type buyers who don't like handsome men and beautiful women but only like monsters.
When Su Mu thought about things related to krypton scams, his mind started to work very quickly, and one creative (and malicious) idea after another popped up in his mind.
The more Su Mu thought about it, the more he felt that this business was feasible.
Although the looks of the handsome men and beautiful women are all illusions and their true forms are spirit beasts, I believe no one will mind.
If he can love his paper wife to death, this kind of magical beast should also be popular.
I just hope that by then, no one will do anything beastly to a spirit beast...
However, if someone really does that, the spirit beasts will definitely resist, and who knows who will suffer then.
In addition, we not only sell spirit pets, but also sell supporting items.
For example, environmental magic arrays, food for spirit pets, etc., and they also need to be of different grades.
Do those who bought high-level spiritual pets have the nerve to not provide their spiritual pets with a good environment and food?
This is all money, we have to make it!
Of course, Su Mu would never admit that he was cheating.
In his opinion, he did this entirely to improve the quality of life and fun of the vast majority of cultivators, as well as the safety of their people and their homes!
Wouldn't it make you feel better if you have a pet to pet and be lifted up by it? Would it make your life more fun? Would it improve your study and work efficiency?
Look, look, isn’t this all my work?
Especially since your spirit pet will tear down your home from time to time, you can also change the decoration style of your home frequently, so that there is always a sense of freshness.
How nice!
I've been worrying so much about this world!
Su Mu sighed in his heart.
"What are you looking at? So engrossed?" Kevin leaned over and glanced at Su Mu's phone screen curiously.
He just talked a lot, but Su Mu was in a daze and didn't even respond politely, which made him a little curious.
He didn’t know that Su Mu was thinking about cheating money... ahem, thinking about doing something that would benefit the people, and thought that he was just too focused on the content on his phone.
Glancing at the pictures of magic weapons on the phone screen, Kevin understood: "Magic weapons for protection? Do you want to buy one? Do you like any? If not, I can recommend a few to you. I'm an expert in this."
Su Mu came back to his senses from imagining the future. When he heard Kevin wanted to recommend something, he refused without hesitation: "Thank you, I'd better look at it myself. The magic weapon you recommend must be expensive. I can't afford it."
Kevin felt wronged: "I am very knowledgeable about things, methods and instruments, so let me recommend a few. Don't worry, I will recommend you the cheaper ones."
Without waiting for Su Mu to refuse, he said quickly: "You haven't established your foundation yet. Even if you want to use a magic weapon with a spirit card, you can only use a Level 2 one at most. Among the Level 2 defensive magic weapons, the ones with good effects and low prices... Hey, look at this, Behemoth's Guardian III. How about it? It's made by the German Bavarian Machinery Manufacturing Plant. It has the quality of a BMW but the price of a Volkswagen."
As he spoke, Kevin quickly opened an APP called "Magic Equipment House" on his mobile phone.
He clicked a few times inside and found Behemoth's Guardian III magic weapon and handed it to Su Mu to see.
This APP not only contains detailed introductions to the instruments, but also related news, discount information, etc.
In addition to these regular contents, there are also professional reviews, user word of mouth and related forums.
It can be said to be quite comprehensive.
Su Mu took a look and found that this magic weapon was quite powerful, and the discounted price was about 400,000.
This is considered a medium price for a level 2 magic weapon.
It seems that Kevin is not just pursuing luxury goods, he actually knows some inexpensive and useful magical instruments.
