Chapter 667: Money! (2/2)

Money was great!

If someone had a problem, they could just throw money at it until it weakened the problem to a minuscule degree.

Don't have power? Go buy a super powerful weapon or one-time-use talisman.

Is your home threatened by an attacker? Go buy a super powerful Formation Array.

Do you need to raise your Realm? Go buy a ton of Immortal Stones.

Do you need Laws? Go buy exclusive access to books, tomes, teachers, and Law Comprehension Areas.

Do you need tempering? Go buy access to exclusive arenas for your Realm! The administrators will find just the right opponent for you.

Money couldn't completely solve everything, but it allowed someone to vastly weaken the difficulties of overcoming a problem.

The Opposer smirked. ”And?” he asked. There was one more reason.

Gravis smiled and pulled Yersi closer to him. ”And I want my daughter to have a great Avatar when she becomes an Immortal.”

Yersi was shocked. She couldn't accept that!

Some guilt appeared inside her. ”Father, I have lied previously. I would rather stay with my family than chase supreme power.”

Gravis dismissively waved his hand. ”I know,” he said, ”but that is how you feel right now. If you ever feel the need to increase your power again, I want you to have a great start. I want you to have the freedom in your decision. If you ever want to cultivate again, and you don't have a good Avatar, you will feel regret, and I don't want that!”

Yersi was still uncomfortable with the idea. ”But father, I wouldn't have worked for that power myself.”

Gravis snorted. ”What? You think you will just get that?” he asked with a smirk.

Now, Yersi was confused again.

”You will help me!” Gravis said as he pointed at her. ”You will be employed by me. You will be the store clerk and will be responsible for customer relations and making them buy as much as possible.”

Yersi was shocked. She? She was supposed to sell stuff? She hadn't even heard about business until today! Additionally, she had never spoken to any other human! How was she supposed to sell stuff!?

”Don't worry,” Gravis said with a smirk. ”You will get the hang of it. Take it as a learning opportunity and a way to get familiar with humans and your new home.”

Yersi still felt unsure, but these feelings quickly transformed into thankfulness. She was old enough that she could see all the facets of this decision.

”Okay,” she said quietly with a smile.

”Orthar!” Gravis shouted as he pointed at Orthar.

”Business opportunity, intelligence, haggling, resource acquirement, market study,” Orthar answered immediately. He also liked this idea.

Gravis' outstretched finger faltered. ”Yeah, that,” he said, all his momentum gone.

Gravis' mother chuckled when she saw that. Her son was creating his own business.

She just waited for the inevitable question.

Gravis turned to his father with an embarrassed smile.

His father knew what was coming, but he still wanted his son to say it. ”Yes?” he asked.

”Ehm,” Gravis said with some embarrassment, ”Could you show me the best direction on how to create a business?”

”Also,” Gravis said as he became red in the face. ”I kind of need some starting capital. So, can I loan some money, please? I'll pay you back, I swear!”

And there it was.
