Volume 1 Chapter 125 (2/2)

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s Magic Lamps had a warranty for three years. If non-intentional damage was done to the Magic Lamp within these three years, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce promised to fix it.

That meant that if one bought the Magic Lamp, they wouldn’t need to worry about it for three years.

Like this, it was clear that the Magic Lamp was more cost effective compared to candles or oil lamps.

Not to mention that whether it was the candles or oil lamps, they all gave off a smell and smoke, which wasn’t good for the body. And the Magic Lamps used the Magic Array to create the light, so it didn’t give off any smoke at all, not harming one’s body.

Moreover, the Magic Lamp’s light was far stronger than candles or oil lamps. A candle or oil lamp could only light up no more than three square meters, but if one used the Magic Lamp, it could light up every corner of the room!

After the report was published in the «Banta Times», the people who hesitated on buying the Magic Lamp immediately made up their minds and decided to buy it.

So after just a single week of being out, the Magic Lamp wildly sold over twenty thousand units!

This was just the amount sold in a small city like Banta City!

If one added in the orders from Banta City, this number reached a terrifying forty thousand!

It had to be known that there were only around fifty thousand people inside and near Banta City, so that was equal to almost everyone in Banta City buying one!

Of course, the main reason was that larger homes didn’t only buy one Magic Lamp, but rather they bought several of them to use in different rooms.

Other than Banta City, the merchants from other cities who had already been working with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce for a long time didn’t want to show weakness, so they also submitted large orders.

If all the orders of the other cities were added together, that was a total of over fifty thousand already!

Putting it together, just in a single week and with just the small Magic Lamp, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had already earned a large income of close to a hundred thousand gold coins.

Each Magic Lamp sold for one gold coin and their cost was just a trivial thirty silver coins.

Putting it together, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s pure profits on the Magic Lamps was close to seventy thousand gold coins!

Moreover, this was just in a single week. As time passed and with the Magic Lamp’s current popularity, this amount could still be greatly increased.

According to Xu Yi’s estimates…..No, Xu Yi couldn’t estimate their sales amount at all because even he didn’t think that the Magic Lamps would be this popular.

It was no wonder that although Heinz was being run ragged each day, he had a smile that wouldn’t close on his lips.

Before this, although Heinz felt that Magic Lamp that Xu Yi developed looked good and would sell well, he never thought that the Magic Lamp would have this kind of terrifying sales numbers.

As a veteran general store owner of Banta City, he couldn’t understand at all why people would be so crazy about a lamp that could only be used for lighting.

“It’s very simple, it’s because there is a mob mentality in people. The more people buying it, there will be more people who want to buy it, otherwise they would be different from everyone else.” Seveni held the Magic Lamp in her hand to look over for a while before she couldn’t help praising, “It has to be said, this Magic Lamp is just too beautiful, it’s no wonder so many masters of Banta City praise this as a work of art. Even at the banquet yesterday, there were several Banta City masters of the art who cursed you and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce in front of Count Sean.”

Xu Yi couldn’t help smiling, “Cursing me about what?”

Seveni tilted her head to think before saying with a faint smile, “The masters felt that your Frestech Chamber of Commerce is treating this almost perfect piece of art as a product to mass produce, flooding the entire world with this precious treasure, it is blaspheming this piece of art!”

Xu Yi gave a shrug, “Art doesn’t equal something separated from the masses, these masters are just too biased.”

“No, they aren’t biased. Rather they think that art is something aloof that is above the populace and could only be enjoyed by their small loft group. Your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s methods are destroying their sense of superiority, it’s no wonder they are becoming angry out of shame.” After saying this, Seveni’s lips curled back into a taunting smile, “If it wasn’t for the fact that the Magic Lamps were just too beautiful and artistic, making them unable to deny it, the masters would act like they looked down on it even if their hearts accepted it.”

Xu Yi never would have thought that Seveni would have such a rude appraisal of these master because no matter what, Seveni was not just a normal member of the agricultural department and her status shouldn’t be normal. She should be one of the upper class that the masters were talking about.

“That’s right, Xu Yi, the person that designed the Magic Lamp shouldn’t be from your Frestech Chamber of Commerce, right? Where did you find this kind of master with such high artistic skills?” Seveni suddenly asked, “Other than this, the billboards on the four sides of the city should also be drawn by this master, right? I can tell that the drawn Magic Lamp is the same style as the design, so it should be made by the same person.”

Xu Yi nodded, “It is indeed the same person and they aren’t from our Frestech Chamber of Commerce. But if you want to ask who they are…..I can only say sorry.”

“You can’t say it? That really is a pity. Although I don’t like those so called masters, I do approve of their appraisals. The artistic value of the drawing is even higher than the Magic Lamp. Based on the appraisal of these masters, just based on this drawing, this person is enough to be known as a grandmaster.” Seveni suddenly revealed a smile, “Of course in my opinion, the reason why it is so outstanding and the effects are so good, other than the Magic Lamp, the intoxicating girl in the painting is actually very important. I’ve heard that this girl is called Still and she’s Great Magician Camilla’s granddaughter?”

Xu Yi looked at Seveni in surprise, “You actually even found this out?”

“This isn’t anything hard to find. I found out accidentally last time and Still is so popular in Banta City. But it is a very normal thing when one thinks about it, she is that beautiful and is always on your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s advertisements, it’s hard for her not to be famous.” Seveni looked over and asked, “But compared to this, what I’m more interested in is that, I’ve heard the relationship between you and Still isn’t normal?”

Xu Yi remembered the strange look Still had after hearing Agnes’ answer the other night and said after giving two dry laughs, “Young miss Seveni, did you have some important matter to discuss since you specially came to find me today?”

Seveni pursed her lips into a smile and didn’t keep pursuing this matter. After pausing, she said to Xu Yi with a serious expression, “Chairman Xu, I came to find you today because I have some bad news for you.”
