In his previous life, Mo Lin hated clients who made grand promises but wouldn't provide a budget.
After he transmigrates, he discovers that the System is exactly that kind of client.
【Task: Open shops in cities belonging to various races in another world. Reach revenue targets to advance.】
【Starting funds: 1,000 copper coins】
【Goal: 10 million copper coins in revenue!】
Mo Lin: “What kind of business? Tobacco and alcohol, slave trading, or...”
Then he looks up and sees the shabby, legitimate little hotel in front of him.
Mo Lin: “...”
Mo Lin: “A ten-thousandfold return? We usually call that a scam.”
Oh well. He started from nothing in his previous life too.
In one month, he sets a record for revenue. In three, he breaks into theaters and schools, and his business expands all the way to the city center.
When he enters the Goblin City, the Merchant Alliance sees an outsider from the human race and joins forces to squeeze him out, cutting off his supplies and customers.
Mo Lin glances at the moon above the entrance to their shop and gives his own shop a new sign.
“Pressing Moon.”
The next “customers” include beastfolk who only respect fists and contracts, dragons who value wealth more than life, and a war capable of burning every business to ashes.
And then there's the holy knight who's been following him ever since he left the human city.
He originally came to investigate Mo Lin's identity and caused plenty of trouble. But as he kept investigating, he became a regular, a guest, a shopkeeper, and a taste-tester. In the end, he even helped with the fighting.
Mo Lin searches through every System menu but can't find a “partner” feature.
But Cecil is already sitting behind the bar, polishing a glass and sipping wine. He looks neither like a customer nor like an employee.
Mo Lin thinks it over and, for once, lets an account go unsettled.
A notification pops up: 【Frequent interactions detected. Mark as, 】
Mo Lin closes the menu.
Little Scene 1:
“You really are a businessman,” Cecil finally admits after months of investigation. “Though you're a little odd.”
Mo Lin asks, “You don't suspect me anymore?”
“I don't.”
Mo Lin lets out a sigh of relief and rubs his hands together, as if he's finally heard the words he's been waiting for. “Then lend me some money.”
Little Scene 2:
War breaks out, and one of them returns to lead the troops. They don't see each other for months. So Mo Lin changes his face, sneaks into Cecil's army as a foot soldier, and works hard, certain his disguise is flawless.
Instead, the holy knight decides he's too weak and sends him back to the tavern to deliver a letter to his beloved.
Mo Lin plays along.
He knows the way very well. It's much better than running laps around the camp, and he can come straight back after delivering the letter.
Back at the tavern, he opens it. There's only one sentence inside:
“Now that you're home, don't come back.”
Notes:
1. A sharp-minded, cool, stubborn, soft-hearted, awkward, career-focused bottom × a carefree, commanding, devoted, carnivorous holy knight top.
2. This isn't a business model based on earning money one order at a time. The business plot focuses on strategy, commercial planning, and competitive maneuvering.
3. Combines business management and adventure. The romance and business plots run in parallel, with a 4:6 ratio. In the human city, the ratio is 2:8.
4. A wholly fictional setting, not typical Western fantasy. Please don't scrutinize the details.
5. This novel began serialization on Thursday, September 24, with Chapter 18. The paywall preview ratio is 30% and may be adjusted after two weeks.
Theme: Every rule can be turned into a business opportunity
