Free Web NovelChapter 527: Chapter 292: Using the Black Ghost Eye to Wear Down the West State Boss to Death!
Inside the private room, Master Chong held a short metal rod, examining it from left to right.
He pressed the probe of the metal rod against his temple, and a "beep beep beep" sound came from the body of the rod.
"Does this mean I’ve detected that I’ve transcended into the celestial realm?"
Mo Lanyou next to him nodded.
"Correct!"
Beside them, Bai Mo held his apprentice and asked.
"What’s the cost of this thing?"
Mo Lanyou pondered for a moment, recalling.
"Um... factoring in all the disparate R&D costs and materials, it’s about five hundred and thirty each!
"Master Chong, I’ve heard you’re an expert. How much do you think you can sell this thing for?"
Mo Lanyou was uncertain.
After all, this thing was made for detection purposes.
Who would want to buy it to check themselves? Isn’t that kind of crazy?
Those who are transcendent know they are, and those who aren’t, know they’re not. Why would they buy it?
Master Chong rubbed the metal rod, thinking for a while.
"If I were to make a special door and install a hundred of these in the doorframe, then this door would become an Immortal Mortal Gate. Any transcendent offender wouldn’t be able to pass through, right?"
Mo Lanyou was momentarily stunned, but then beamed with joy.
"That’s a great idea! ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Let the wealthy install them!
"With a hundred detectors going out in one batch, the increased volume could offset the R&D costs, hahaha.
"So how much should we sell this door for?"
Master Chong held out a palm, spreading his five fingers.
Mo Lanyou calculated for a moment.
"Fifty thousand?
"Wouldn’t that lose money...?" freewebnøvel.com
Master Chong made a peculiar face suggesting, ’We’re not a charity.’
"Five hundred thousand!"
Mo Lanyou and Bai Mo exchanged glances.
Even with a hundred detectors inside, adding the threshold and door panel, the cost wouldn’t exceed a hundred thousand.
Selling it for five hundred thousand would mean a profit four to five times over. Seems quite lucrative?
"But do we have a factory to make doors? The production line, technology, workers... wouldn’t that be another investment?"
Master Chong quickly shook his head.
"No, no, no, we’re not getting into the dirty work ourselves. We just provide the detectors and authorization. Find an established armored door manufacturer and let them take a small cut."
"Selling to big tycoons?"
"Of course not!
"Why would big tycoons buy this? It’s beneath them!
"This door is a great value!
"For five hundred thousand, an Immortal Mortal Gate comes with cameras, facial recognition, internet connectivity, an automatic alarm, and auto-locking... it’s a lifesaving door!
"It’ll become a best-seller! A hit product!
"Those small bosses, small tycoons, little internet celebrities afraid of dying... they’ll all come to buy!"
Mo Lanyou’s eyes lit up; this indeed sounded promising!
The expert Bai Mo found really came through!
Master Chong continued.
"This version makes steady, ongoing profits.
"To make big money, we need a special edition.
"Provide it to the real big tycoons!"
Bai Mo, Mo Lanyou, and Wind Chasing Claw looked at each other.
"What special edition?"
"Install more detectors?"
"Change the door panel design?"
Master Chong shook his head and grinned, revealing a large gold tooth.
"Small money from products, big money from psychology.
"The special edition, from door panel to detectors to cameras, with the same functions as any regular door.
"But one of those hundred detectors will carry an extra steel stamp..."
Steel stamp?
Stamp what?
Master Chong dipped his finger in some liquor and casually wrote the word "Bai" on the table.
"Um... writing ’Mo’ isn’t unacceptable either, but it might not sell for as much... Sorry, Expert Mo!"
Mo Lanyou waved it off, not caring.
"That’s a minor issue!
"We split the profits three ways?"
Master Chong laughed.
"I don’t need that much.
"For this, no need to involve Expert Bai Mo at all; just pretend not to know anything.
"This version doesn’t need to be publicly listed, doesn’t need the public to know.
"Later, I’ll come up with some ambiguous story to let the big tycoons hear about it, let them know such a thing exists, and let them imagine the possibilities.
"Of course, such a thing... doesn’t need a set price.
"Interested tycoons will come to me!
"Price? Face to face negotiations!"
...
Under dark clouds, the wind howled wildly.
The vast grassland extended endlessly.
Whirr...
An off-road vehicle with oversized wheels sped in from afar, stopping in the wild grass.
"Yip yip yip!"
Black Shoes leaped off the car, with an adventure hat on his head, and a strand of foxtail grass always pointing towards Fox Mountain.
"Howl howl howl!"
White Toe jumped off the car, similarly wearing an adventure hat, looking at the large foxtail grass on the roof, also pointing towards Fox Mountain.
"Yip yip yip!"
Big Nose jumped off the car, holding a box in its front paws, which was the Ghost Eye Two, specifically for seeking Immortal Grass on Fox Mountain!
Opening the box revealed a nine-grid pattern, with black grape-like ghost eyes in the eight surrounding grid squares and a directional pointer in the middle.
Whirr... whirr... whirr...
The eight ghost eyes vanished instantly upon the box opening, heading to the surrounding grasslands to search for High Tier Immortal Grass.
The three foxes, heads adorned with foxtail grasses, gathered with serious expressions.
"Yip yip yip!"
"Howl howl howl!"
"Yip yip yip!"
The device went to work, and they couldn’t be idle!
They needed to find as many withered grasses as possible to bring back to their master!
These withered grasses lacked life force, so the ghost eyes wouldn’t bother with them.
Yet each withered blade could potentially be a dead Super Immortal Grass, or even the Leaf Domain Immortal Grass their master was seeking!
So, the three foxes split off from the adventure vehicle as a center, tails perked up, and began plucking various withered grasses.
