Chapter 95: Preparing for the shop opening (1/2)
Sam is in his mansion thinking about what to do next. Since, he wants to open a restaurant, he must find a way to get a source of supply to get the ingredients and along with that he also needs to find a suitable chef who is loyal as well as skilled to master the spirit culinary.
But he isn't in a hurry. It is fourth day since he entered the falcon cliff city and he have 25 days to make his plans.
Not only will it help him to teach Zeke a lesson, the two business will also be a source of income for him. Even though, he has enough money with him, he still wants to earn as much as he can by the time, he entered the imperial capital.
At that time, he would be facing the whole Black water organisation the empire and he need have enough wealth to go against a behemoth like that.
And all these businesses are just some side income, the main income will still be the black river branches themselves.
Sam is still trying to separate the gases in the air but his concentration is still not enough. And the light energy is also same, he has to have enough mental power to use it for any offensive purposes.
For that, he must spend his time on cultivating the Divine spirit soul technique.
But before he could do that, there is something he has to do. He has to prepare somethings for the business opening. His main focus is not on the weapons. He wants to make some gadgets which will help these people in the hunting.
Chaya mentioned that it will take almost three days to make the equipment, so he has thirty days inside the tower, to make some preparations.
He brought along the manual pressing machine that he had it made in the Falcon cliff city. So, he can make some things that will make it easier to finish the gadgets later.
Sam went out on his board. All the people just gave way to him without even daring to look him in the eye. By now, everyone knew that the new rank 5 scholar artisan who arrived in the city will travel on a weird board and he is also a vicious guy as well.
But Sam is in complete daze as he went into deep thought after he remembered something. He forgot to name the hoverboard. Even though, he is good at many things, on of his major flaw is that he is very bad at naming. [And so is author, so my dear readers come up with a name please.]
He went to the pharmaceutical tower to buy some herbs and all of them have one thing in common. They all have calming effects and mostly used in the pills to offset the side-effects of aggressive nature.
He even bought a type of sandal wood which is used in ointments to provide the relieving effects. Generally, these items sales are very less and sometimes, the stock will be spoiled too. When, Sam came here and bought all the available stock of these herbs, the reception is too happy.
After that, he went to the inscription tower and bought the materials used for making the inscription ink.
Finally, he went to Zeke's restaurant. Even though, he has designs to steal the business of this restaurant, he should agree that this one is the best restaurant in the city for now. So, he ate a hearty meal and after that he went to the manager room.
Sam pinned his badge of tailor artisan, and greeted him. To not to alert them, he didn't use his board to come to the restaurant, so the new manager who isn't part of the twenty lackeys didn't recognise Sam.
”I want to buy the liquor from you.” Sam came right to the point. The manager is courteous and didn't show any attitude. He gave the basic respect that should be given to the customer and asked.
”Sir, if you want to buy less than a barrel, you don't have to consult me, as the counter will handle it directly. But if you want more than that, please tell me how much you want.”
”I don't want any normal wines, but I want a strong pure liquor without any flavour. Is it possible to sell it?” Sam asked.
”Err...Normally, we won't sell it. What you are asking isn't that suitable for drinking directly, so we don't prepare it in small quantities. How much do you want to buy?”
”I need ten barrels.”
”Since, the order is big, we will do this. But we will charge same as the flavoured wine. Each barrel will be 5000 spirit stones.”
”Sure.” Sam agreed and immediately paid the full amount.
”Sir, your order will be ready in three days. You can just bring this token to retrieve the order.” The manager gave him a token.
”I will be sending a subordinate. Thank you so much.”
Sam took the token and left the restaurant. The manager is beaming with glee as he looked at the 50,000 spirit stones. He wants to show his achievement to Zeke to get some acknowledgement, but if he was to know that these 50,000 spirit stones were responsible for reducing their customers in the Weapon shop, one should wonder Zeke's reaction.
Sam went to his mansion and went into the second floor of the tower. Today, he wants to do one of the most boring things he has to do to make the gadgets.
He has to practice etching. One of the most difficult skills in inscriptions.
To perform this skill, he has to be master in three things. First one is inscription mastery, second one is painting and the final one and the most important one is the energy control. If he could master this etching skill, he could make his shop success easily.
He has confidence that, he could use the inscriptions and inscribed formations in the most efficient way.
