C14 The Same Goddess

There were a lot of people in front of the stall. One of them could not help but ask Lu Chen, "Junior brother, what is this Wisdom Cube?"

Lu Chen coughed lightly and bragged, "This Wisdom Cube has a great origin. It was created by the ancient saint, Dong Fang Xiuya, to inspire the intelligence of his descendants."

"What? This was created by the ancient saint Dong Fang Xiuya?" Everyone was shocked.

Dongfang Xiuya was a human saint from the ancient times of the Aetheria Continent. His reputation was extremely great, and his status was similar to that of the Kong and Meng of Earth. He was revered in the human empire, and he had been revered as a saint since ancient times.

"Impossible! If it really has such a great origin, why have I never heard of it before?"

Some people could not help but start doubting Lu Chen's words, thinking that he was talking nonsense.

Lu Chen was indeed talking nonsense, but the problem was, was it important? Who the hell could prove that he was talking nonsense?

Therefore, Lu Chen retorted without hesitation, "You are not the descendant of the ancient saint, so how do you know that you are not? I have already said that this Wisdom Cube was created by Dong Fang Xiuya to inspire the intelligence of his descendants. Of course, it was kept by the direct descendants of the Dong Fang family. What is so strange about it if outsiders don't know about it?"

This matter could not be taken seriously. No one could really find a descendant of the ancient saint to confront him. Therefore, everyone could only believe it.

At this time, someone asked again, "How does the Wisdom Cube inspire one's intelligence? And what does this Goddess's design mean?"

Lu Chen said, "As everyone knows, intelligence is not fixed. It will gradually increase as people grow. This Wisdom Cube is a kind of intelligence toy that can allow people to think and develop their intelligence while playing."

There were actually a lot of ways to play the third level of the Magic Cube. There were "Six-sided Reversed Words", "Four-colored Reversed Words", "Symmetric Chessboard", "Circular Chessboard", "Six-sided Cross", "Four-colored Cross", and so on.

Lu Chen explained to the crowd about the way to play the Magic Cube, then began to demonstrate the three or four different ways to play.

It had to be said that these unremarkable little tricks were quite magical in the eyes of those who had never touched the Magic Cube before. Everyone was itching to play. Some people could not help but ask for the price.

Lu Chen raised a finger and said calmly, "I am honest and fair. The price is fair. This Wisdom Cube is only sold for one gold coin."

"Damn, even a piece of wood like this costs one gold coin? Isn't it a bit expensive?"

One gold coin for one piece of wood was not considered expensive, but it was not cheap either. Everyone was reluctant to spend money just because of this uncertain "encouraging intelligence".

Lu Chen snorted and said slowly, "Everyone, don't think it's expensive. Do you know what the Goddess's design means? To tell you the truth, this is a super intelligence toy that even Goddess Yan, Yan Qingmeng, could not defeat."

"What? This little thing can even stump the Goddess Yan? It can't be? " Someone exclaimed.

Lu Chen lowered his voice and told everyone about the bet between Xue Xiaoling and Yan Qingmeng.

Everyone was extremely shocked when they heard this, but they did not believe him. After all, Xue Xiaoling was sitting behind the stall. If Lu Chen lied, he would be exposed in an instant.

In the end, Lu Chen could not help but persuade them, "Everyone, this cube is a super intelligent toy that can stump the Goddess Yan. Buying one and researching it won't be a loss. If you can crack the restoration method, you might even win the Goddess Yan's favor!"

When the surrounding disciples heard this, their eyes immediately lit up. Many of them rushed to Xue Xiaoling's stall without saying a word and fought to buy the Wisdom Cube …

...

Lu Chen followed the same pattern. In just an hour, he had sold more than a hundred of them.

"Wow, Lu Chen, so much money!"

Xue Xiaoling was extremely excited. Although she had only sold a hundred gold coins at the moment, it was the first time she had earned money in her life. It was completely different from the monthly allowance she received from her parents. It felt completely different.

As the peak of the meal arrived, Lu Chen could trick even more people.

Moreover, to his surprise, not only were there male disciples buying the cube, but there were also quite a few female disciples. Even many of the flamen were willing to spend money to buy the Wisdom Cube.

Seeing this, Lu Chen decisively increased the price by one gold coin to two gold coins.

The price was doubled!

This price scared Xue Xiaoling. She knew the cost of making the cube. It was only two silver coins. Lu Chen selling it for two gold coins was nine times the profit.

A small piece of wood was selling for two gold coins. Xue Xiaoling felt that the price was too high. At the beginning, she was too embarrassed to tell others that the price had increased.

It was not until later that people started to pay for it. Only then did Xue Xiaoling have confidence in her own Wisdom Cube.

Her eyes lit up with excitement. She did not hesitate to increase the price. No matter who came to buy it, it would be two gold coins for one. She refused to bargain.

In fact, with the reputation of the Sect Master's daughter, no one dared to bargain with her.

In addition, it was a seller's market. It was a monopoly business. Other than this place, no one could buy the same kind of Wisdom Cube anywhere else. Even if they had money, they would not be able to buy it.

Disciples of the Azure Sect were all arcane cultivators. Those who had been in the sect for one or two years would have more or less some savings in their hands.

There were still quite a few people who were willing to spend two gold coins to buy a cube.

Until the end of the night, nearly six hundred of the one thousand cubes were sold. The income was close to one thousand gold coins.

"..."

After the matter of the Magic Cube spread out, more and more people came to buy it. Even after Lu Chen increased the price to three gold coins for one, there were still many people who bought the Magic Cube. In just an afternoon, all of them had been sold out.

In just a day and a half, the one thousand Magic Cube had been sold out, earning a total of 2,886 gold coins.

After deducting the cost of 200 gold coins, the profit was a total of 1886 gold coins.

According to the five-fifty split, Lu Chen and Xue Xiaoling each received 943 gold coins.

The two of them became rich overnight.

Although one thousand gold coins was not an astronomical figure to Xue Xiaoling, it was still a huge amount. Her monthly allowance was only 100 gold coins.

Furthermore, she was a typical moonlight clan. She spent money extravagantly. She spent almost all of her monthly allowance every month. She rarely had any spare money left. Until now, she had only saved about 700 gold coins.

With money, Xue Xiaoling wanted more money. After selling all of the one thousand Magic Cube, she urged Lu Chen to order more.

However, Lu Chen did not agree. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No need. Even if I order more, I won't be able to sell them for much money!"

"Why can't we sell them for money even if we order more? We clearly sold three gold coins in the end." Xue Xiaoling felt it was hard to understand.

Lu Chen rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Not to mention the profit of three gold coins, even if we sell one gold coin for one, not everyone in the Azure Sect can afford it. The richest disciple has already bought it, and the rest of the people are probably not willing to spend more than two or three gold coins to buy a useless Magic Cube."

Xue Xiaoling frowned and said, "Then we can just lower the price! The production cost is only two silver coins. Even if we only sell five silver coins, we will still have money to earn."

Lu Chen still shook his head and said, "There's no need. After all, this Magic Cube is just a simple toy. In half a day, it is enough for some business-minded people to react and make a copy. Just wait and see! At most, in the afternoon, the pirated version of our Magic Cube will be out."

"What? They dare to copy the things that I sell?"

Xue Xiaoling stood up and glared at him angrily. She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Wait and see. I'll go find my father and tell him to arrest all those who have copied it."

Lu Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. He stopped and said, "It's useless. The production of this Magic Cube is too simple. Even if your father can control the matters in the Azure Sect, he can't control the entire Zriftol. The pirated version will be out sooner or later, and it will definitely not be stopped.

"With more people copying it, the supply will naturally increase, which will cause a competition, and the profit will also drop. We have already eaten the meat, so there's no need to fight with others for the soup."

"Oh!"

Xue Xiaoling nodded her head and sat down, feeling a little unwilling.

The income of over a thousand gold coins had made her a little money grubber. Right now, she had almost forgotten about the bet with Yan Qingmeng, and her mind was filled with money.

As Lu Chen had expected, in the afternoon, the imitation of the Magic Cube had already come out. Furthermore, it was not just one or two people selling it, there were at least a dozen or so people selling it at the same time.

Those people did not have Xue Xiaoling's background, so naturally, they did not dare to set up stalls outside the cafeteria. Instead, they chose to sell it in the various Spirit Peak trading markets. The price was not high, and it was about five to ten silver coins per piece.

Lu Chen did not care about this. In order to celebrate his harvest this time, he and Xue Xiaoling went to the third floor of the cafeteria and ordered a table of good wine and food. The price was no less than thirty gold coins, and they had a good meal.

After the meal, Lu Chen did not ask for any gold coins. Instead, he asked Xue Xiaoling to help him exchange the gold coins for Darkstone.

There were four types of common currency in the Aetheria continent. They were Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Darkstone.

The ratio of one Darkstone to ten gold coins was 1 to 10, which was equivalent to 100 silver coins and 10,000 copper coins.

The 1 Darkstone here referred to the standard Darkstone forged by the Empire. It was a standard diamond-shaped design, and the standard weight was 1.2 grams per piece.

Xue Xiaoling was very generous and directly exchanged the gold coins for 93 Darkstones for Lu Chen.

Since he still had time in the afternoon, Lu Chen fulfilled his promise and taught Xue Xiaoling the secret of the Magic Cube.
