âVera (Song Jianâs Business Assistant), Gender: Female, Level: 20; Age: 19, Loyalty: 60/100, Charm: 91/100, Physique: 73/100, Wisdom: 98/100, Vitality Points: 3200/3200â
This business assistant Vera has attributes with 100 as the maximum value, Charm 91 and Wisdom 98, which are already extremely high. It must have taken a lot of determination for Annie, the manager, to let Vera become her own assistant.
This is also because the completion of Song Jianâs task is closely related to her otherwise it would be impossible to arrange Vera to help Song Jian.
After accepting the mission, Song Jian, along with Vera, quickly appeared in front of the Starfire Shop. This shop only has one floor but covers a very wide area. After all, it is a bridgehead of Silver Moon Commerce. If it were too shabby, it would be embarrassing.
For Silver Moon Commerce, this is just an attempt. Even if they fail, it will not hurt their foundation. However, for Annie, the manager, this is an extremely important strategic layout in business. If she fails, she might not even be able to keep her position as manager.
At this moment, the door of Starfire Shop is wide open, and there is no one coming in or out. There is not even a single service staff member in the shop. âVera, why is there not even one service staff member? No matter how bad the business is, it canât be like this!â Song Jian frowned and said.
âI think, maybe Silver Moon Commerce is going to give up on this place.â Vera said somewhat helplessly: âThis is Area B, the stronghold of Sunnyfire Shop. If I were the manager of Sunnyfire Shop, I would also do everything I could to make this shop fail.â
âLord Song Jian, I believe you have accepted an impossible mission!â Vera looked at Song Jian and whispered.
Just then, a frivolous whistle came from across the street. A manâs voice sounded behind Song Jian:
âHaha, let me see, isnât this Miss Vera? Why would you appear here? Let me guess, are you planning to close down this shop?â
Song Jian turned around and saw that there was actually a shop across the street, and it was a second-level shop. A well-dressed man was standing at the entrance, looking mockingly at Song Jian and Vera.
âThatâs a Sunnyfire Shop, and that man is called Kagura â the manager of the shop. This shop was opened the day after Starfire Shop first appeared, with the sole purpose of crushing Starfire!â Vera whispered in Song Jianâs ear.
âVera, are you interested in helping me out? Annie is about to go under, so following her will not do you any good.â Kagura laughed and looked at Vera with greedy eyes.
âVera, it looks like youâll be the manager of Starfire Shop for a while.â Song Jian glanced at Kagura and didnât take him seriously. He pulled out some equipment from his inventory and handed it to Vera: âPut these equipment up for sale first, Iâll figure out howto get more items to sell in the future.â
âA silver top-quality shield?â Vera covered her mouth, her face showing an amazed expression.
The equipment that Song Jian took out were obtained in the Frost Cave. Among them, the Frost Shield was a superior silver shield, and other equipment were level 15 blue- and green-quality. These items were almost impossible to find on the market, but Song Jian had no problem using them to bolster the reputation of Starfire Shop.
Alright, master!â Veraâs face was full of delight as she accepted the items and turned towards the shop.
Kaguraâs face became ugly, staring at Song Jian for a moment, and snorted: âHmph, a desperate struggle!â
Starfire was about to be given up by Silver Moon Commerce. In this commercial battle, Kagura could be said to have already secured victory. But now, the other party seemed to be unwilling to admit defeat.
âJust relying on a few top-quality gears to turn the situation around is wishful thinking. Letâs see what you can sell after you sell these!â Kaguraâs face was gloomy as he turned and entered the shop.
Song Jian glanced at the Sunnyfire Shop opposite and calmly walked into Starfire Shop.
âVera, is there a forging room in this shop?â Song Jian asked.
âYes, there were originally three forging rooms in the shop, and three Forging Masters were employed. But now, they have all been transferred away by the headquarters.â Vera said.
âCan you change one of them into an engineering manufacturing room?â Song Jian asked.
âOf course. Do you want toâ¦?â Vera looked at Song Jian somewhat surprised, guessing his true identity: âCould Lord Song Jian also be an Engineering Manufacturing Master?â
Upon hearing this, Song Jian felt a cold sweat and quickly waved his hand: âNo, my engineering manufacturing skill is only level 3, nothing near a master.â When Vera heard that Song Jianâs engineering manufacturing skill was only level 3, her hopes suddenly vanished. But she still followed Song Jianâs instructions and converted one of the forging rooms into an engineering manufacturing room.
âSend this list to Annie and have her send over as much as she can!â Song Jian handed Vera a list and said.
This was a list of materials for making T-11 High-Explosive Hand Grenades and Self-destructing Robots. For Song Jian, collecting these materials would be troublesome, but for Silver Moon Commerce, it would be effortless;
Alright.â Vera took the list and glanced at it, frowning. As an assistant to a commerce manager, Vera had seen many material lists. Just by looking at the list, she could usually guess the final product with great accuracy. However, after looking at over a dozen materials on this list, Vera couldnât guess what item was being made. She could only be certain that these were indeed materials needed for engineering manufacturing.
Veraâs efficiency was extremely high. In no time, she completed all the tasks Song Jian had given her. Not only did she transform one of the forging rooms into an engineering manufacturing room, she also brought over a large amount of materials on Song Jianâs list.
âAlright Vera, you go take care of the front of the shop. Try not to sell those equipment too quickly. Otherwise, we wonât have enough to sell!â Song Jian smiled.
âMaster, do you want to use those top-quality items to attract customers and then sell the real goods?â Veraâs eyes brightened, and she asked eagerly.
Vera, youâre really smart. Are you interested in working with me in the future?â Song Jian smiled.
âMasterâ¦â Veraâs cheeks flushed slightly, she glanced at Song Jian and lowered her head.
âHaha, alright Vera, letâs focus on our current task first. If we canât complete Annie s task, everything we talk about now is meaningless,â Song Jian laughed, towards the front of the shop.
âLetâs get started. These two items should be quite popular!â Song Jian stretched his arm and murmured to himself.
