Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 444 - 443 Business Model

Elsa frowned as she looked at the viscous, pitch-black Gui-Hai Black Evil, furrowing her eyebrows, "It smells so bad, I don't want to eat it."

Zhou Bai, "I'm not asking you to actually eat it. Don't you have a Spatial Bag that allows you to store what you've eaten inside it? I need your help to swallow all this Gui-Hai Black Evil into your Spatial Bag."

Elsa turned her head away, "I don't want to."

Zhou Bai, "Come on, how about I add some sugar for you?"

"Don't worry, I'm not really making you eat it, it won't get into your stomach."

"And despite the smell, it actually tastes quite good when you eat it."

In the end, Elsa couldn't resist Zhou Bai's persistent coaxing. She opened her mouth and inhaled, sucking all the Gui-Hai Black Evil into her Spatial Bag.

One could see that as soon as the Gui-Hai Black Evil neared her mouth, before even touching it, it completely vanished as if entering a pocket dimension.

The amount of Gui-Hai Black Evil she consumed was about the same as Zhou Bai had calculated, and the little bit extra was sold off by him directly.

After swallowing it in one gulp, Elsa couldn't help but cover her mouth, "It smells so bad!"

Zhou Bai, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll get you some perfume, a little spray and you'll be fine. I promised you meat, and now I'll take you to eat meat."

After spritzing Elsa with perfume for the food, and after consoling her properly, Zhou Bai had Elsa parasitize his Primordial Spirit again. In his mind, he commanded, "Elsa, spit!"

The next moment, Zhou Bai opened his mouth and spat out the Gui-Hai Black Evil.

"Elsa! Suck!"

Then, Zhou Bai opened his mouth to inhale, sucking back the Gui-Hai Black Evil he had spat out.

Elsa cheered, "Zhou Bai! From now on, you can eat this yourself."

"After parasitizing my Primordial Spirit, you can use my mouth to store things." Zhou Bai smirked, "Really, it's just a little smell. Can't you even bear that? How are you going to get stronger?"

Still, Zhou Bai was quite satisfied with this setup. As long as he communicated well with Elsa, he could use the Spatial Bag ability at any time. Not only could he use it to consume and manipulate Gui-Hai Black Evil more freely, but the ability of the Spatial Bag also proved to be very useful for other storage, combat, and such.

"The product is ready, next up is the partner."

Zhou Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, "Qian Wangsun should be back by now, right?"

…

That evening, Zhou Bai and another man walked on the road together, heading towards Yan Shan's suite.

The man appeared handsome and suave, with a classic heroic aura – it was Qian Wangsun, sporting the Transforming Mask.

Zhou Bai walked alongside him, transmitting his voice, "You are Gu Tianle. Just do as we agreed earlier. Remember, let me do the talking, and you just put on a front."

Zhou Bai had pulled in Qian Wangsun to assume a false identity and go into business with Yan Shan and the others.

Since there was only one Transforming Mask, he would be himself, while Qian Wangsun took on a new identity.

The first time he needed to appear with Qian Wangsun, but afterwards, impersonating alone would suffice.

Qian Wangsun, however, was somewhat uneasy, "Are you sure this is reliable? I feel like your plan is full of holes. We aren't going to get beaten to death, are we?"

Zhou Bai patted his chest, "Don't worry, have you forgotten my abilities? Plus, this time I've got real, solid products. What's there to be afraid of?"

The two walked into Yan Shan's suite, where Yan Shan and his associates had been waiting as arranged.

Zhou Bai stepped forward, embraced Yan Shan, and said, "This is the master I introduced to you this morning, Grandmaster Gu Tianle."

"Master Gu." Yan Shan walked up and shook hands with Gu Tianle, "I'll just get straight to it, is there any way to solve this issue?"

Master Gu took a seat to one side and casually said, "Zhou Bai, repeat to them what I've said."

"It's like this, Young Master Yan," Zhou Bai began, pulling a small bottle out of his bosom as he spoke, "Master Gu has single-handedly developed a new business model and is planning to collaborate with me in selling this..."

As the bottle was opened, a foul odor assaulted the nostrils, causing everyone present to frown.

But Zhou Bai was unfazed, carefully pouring the contents of the bottle onto the table: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Hei Sha from the cycle of Guihai, a demonic substance that the Heart Demon old man wielded to dominate the human realm 500 years ago, the most yin and evil of things."

"This is the Guihai Hei Sha?" Yan Shan and the others approached and inspected it, confirming it was indeed the Guihai Hei Sha.

Zhou Bai explained, "The advantages of the Guihai Hei Sha are self-explanatory, right? It contaminates magical treasures and erodes the Primordial Spirit—truly top-notch material, whether directly used to crush someone or in crafting magical items, its wonders are limitless. Our next venture is to sell Guihai Hei Sha."

On hearing this, Yan Shan frowned slightly, "The Hei Sha is good, but the number of people who can afford and have use for it must be quite limited, right? Besides, nowadays, people prefer to go through official exchanges for trading..."

Zhou Bai waved his hand, "Young Master Yan, what comes next is the moment to witness a miracle. Selling Hei Sha is just the basic operation. Let me elaborate on our business model, which is the real key. This is the ultimate plan that Master Gu came up with after a decade of countless hardships and night after night of deep thought."

As he spoke, Zhou Bai sent a telepathic message to Qian Wangsun, "Block your ears, and only when I tap your shoulder should you listen to me speak."

Looking at Yan Shan and the others, whose intelligence had been reduced several times, Zhou Bai smiled slightly, "Firstly, we're not going through official channels. We won't use Dao School or government exchange systems; we rely on word-of-mouth."

Yan Shan asked curiously, "Why not use the official channels?"

Zhou Bai replied, "Why? Because going through any other official channels would involve all sorts of fees—processing fees, storage fees, inspection fees... They pile up, and naturally, the cost goes up."

Yan Shan's brother, Yan Hai, voiced his confusion, "But without official channels, can we really sell well through word-of-mouth?"

Zhou Bai explained, "That's a good question, which is why we have a set of incentives that categorizes our clients into five levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and King.

Also note, the Guihai Hei Sha is a premium product, and we need to maintain its brand value, so in the future, we'll only sell it to beings of divine lineage. The price for a small bottle of Guihai Hei Sha is based on the value of ten Ice Heart Pills at 1000 points each."

"...By referrals, selling the Guihai Hei Sha to three individuals qualifies one to become a Silver client..."

"...Silver clients... will receive one Ice Heart Pill reward per week..."

"...Just by upgrading to a King client... one can earn a reward of 100 Ice Heart Pills per week..."

"...Remember, this is a revolutionary business concept, bypassing middlemen and passing the maximum benefits directly to the consumers... allowing everyone to spend the least amount of money for the best products..."

"...Just by joining this family... we can achieve common prosperity..."

"...Once you become Diamond clients... you'll no longer have to worry about living expenses... you can truly enjoy life... and achieve real financial independence..."

"...Look at me, young as I am, I've already reached Gold status, collecting 10 Ice Heart Pills every week..."

"Not enough points? Can't afford the Guihai Hei Sha?... No problem... We offer lending services..."
