Chapter 40 Opening a shop together?
I put this unconfirmed speculation in my mind for the time being and opened the group chat.
"@All members, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you arrived yet?"
Ding Jin: "I'm waiting for them. I said I'd come to find you when they get together. @张浩博, @邹鹏, you guys said they'd be here soon, right ? Where are you now?"
Zou Peng: "Please stop talking. I just want to kill the guy who drew the map. What a shitty ratio! The whole map is wrong except for the direction. It's so wrong that I don't even know how long I have to walk."
"Well, isn't it normal for maps to be less accurate in this era? Besides, you should be thankful that the direction is correct."
Zou Peng: “Rubbish map.”
Mo Lan was overjoyed watching this.
"Ding Jin, do you want to come over first? They may need some time."
Ding Jin: "Wait a minute, I'm on a mission to eliminate violence and protect the good. There's a beast who's robbing a woman on the street. I'm going to cripple his third leg."
"Well, I have to remind you here that those who dare to rob women are generally not ordinary people. Simply put, you are in trouble."
Ding Jin: "It doesn't matter, I've covered my face, I'm just looking for a place to settle that girl, I can't let her family get hurt if I just leave.
Okay, okay, I won’t talk to you anymore. I have something to do now. I will come to you after I finish the task. "
"good."
After closing the group chat, Mo Lan took out the animal skin and started drawing frantically.
His mental energy was drained time and time again, but in the gaps between drains, not a single bit of it was wasted, and he turned to studying the spell model.
Time and time again, Mo Lan's mental strength gradually increased in this process.
As a byproduct of this process, spell scrolls were piled up in the storage room.
Three days later, Ding Jin, Zhang Haobo and Zou Peng finally arrived at Mo Lan's shop and were amazed at the look of the shop.
"Wow, this store is doing well. Boss Mo, when are you planning to open it?"
Ding Jin said with a smile, and Mo Lan thought about it.
"yesterday."
"?"
Three question marks popped up and Mo Lan smiled embarrassedly.
"I forgot what I was researching about spell models yesterday."
Mo Lan's answer made the three of them feel a little amused.
"You can even forget such a thing. Are spell models so attractive?"
Mo Lan smiled when he heard that.
"The spell model is very profound. I haven't studied it thoroughly yet, but it is indeed very attractive."
"Well, at this rate, I guess I'll have to call you Sage Mo from now on."
This time it was Mo Lan's turn to be at a loss for words.
"Alright, stop joking. Aren't you curious about the spell scroll? I'll take you to have a look."
As soon as Mo Lan said this, the three of them immediately became interested, and Zou Peng said with a smile.
“Okay, let’s go take a look at the spell scroll you drew. I’ve been specifically asking about it during this period of time.
Spell scrolls are extremely rare and precious. Even a child can use a spell scroll to cast spells, and using it at a critical moment can definitely turn the situation around.
What's more crucial is that spell scrolls are extremely difficult to make. Although there are no mages in the game, the profession of mage drawing does exist, and they are experts in drawing spell models.
I know a master painter who can draw one spell scroll successfully out of ten.
Do you want me to introduce it to you? Anyway, you are interested in this. If you learn it, not to mention one success out of ten, even if one success out of a hundred will be a big profit.
You know, the price of spell scrolls is calculated in silver nas, even the lowest-level spell scrolls start at at least a dozen or dozens of silver nas."
Mo Lan smiled when he heard that and gently pushed open the door of the storage room. The three of them looked inside and were stunned.
"You don't mean to say..."
Mo Lan walked in, pulled off the fur belt, and unfolded the spell scroll.
The moment the spell scroll was unfolded, the fire element that had been restrained before began to surge.
Several spell scrolls were opened one after another, and the entire storage room was suddenly filled with fluctuations of the fire element.
The three silent people then gasped in shock and spoke tremblingly.
"All of them are Fireball scrolls?"
"Oh, not entirely."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"There is also a part of the Wind Blade Technique scroll."
"hiss!"
The three of them immediately covered their chests and looked at Mo Lan in shock.
Zou Peng suddenly asked.
"What is your success rate in making spell scrolls?"
"Success rate? What is that?"
Mo Lan asked back with a smile.
"Have I ever failed? Hmm, let me think about it. This is a little difficult. Oh, now I remember that when I first started learning how to make spell scrolls made a mistake once and damaged a piece of animal skin. Other than that, I have never failed."
Zou Peng's heart, which was covering his chest, suddenly tightened, and his body fell stiffly towards Ding Jin and Zhang Haobo behind him.
Seeing this, Ding Jin and Zhang Haobo both took a step back, picked up a spell scroll and looked at it as if nothing had happened.
Boom!
Zou Peng landed.
"How can there be such a heartless and ungrateful person in the world!"
Zou Peng stood up and said with a chilling look.
"How is it? My grades are just average, right?"
The three of them blinked their eyes, and no one looked at Mo Lan even once.
I'm giving you face, would I say that I envy you?
"Do you want to open a shop together? As you just saw, I am focusing on studying spell models. Let's become partners. I will be responsible for producing spell scrolls, and you will be responsible for purchasing, sales, and a series of activities related to sales."
Mo Lan's words stunned the three of them, and their expressions were a little complicated. Finally, Zou Peng came over, put his hands on Mo Lan's shoulders, stared into his eyes and spoke seriously.
"Do you know what you are talking about? The price of a Fireball spell scroll ranges from 10 silver nas to 1 gold nas. Based on the lowest price, it's 10 silver nas per scroll.
There is no sales problem at all for this lowest level of sales.
The price of animal skins is less than fifty copper nas for one piece of animal skin. Depending on the size of your item, one piece of animal skin can be used to draw six to nine spell scrolls. The minimum is six, and the cost of animal blood can be ignored.
In other words, the material cost of each scroll can be reduced to eight copper nas, and at most ten copper nas.
A 100% success rate means that excluding labor costs and store costs, the final cost of the spell scroll is 10 copper nas and the selling price is 10 silver nas. One copper nas is currently sold for 5 yuan, which means that currently you can make a minimum of 4,500 yuan by selling a fireball scroll."
Zou Peng pointed at the spell scrolls on the shelf.
"How long did it take you? Hundreds of spell scrolls, right? I'll calculate that you produced 100 spell scrolls a month, which would be 450,000 a month.
This is the lowest price, but would you sell a spell scroll for the lowest price? A dozen or twenty silver nas is fine, right?
And the value of a spell in a spell scroll increases several times with each higher level, so do you really understand what you are talking about? Do you know how much profit is involved?"
Mo Lan shrugged and said casually.
"I know, some things are more important than money. It's just some money. I believe you."
"But I don't believe it. I refuse."
Zou Peng said this very straightforwardly, and as he spoke, he turned around, took a spell scroll from the shelf and put it in his pocket.
