As for earning Mora, Alex didn't have much interest.
After all, he still had over 1.8 billion Mora. It felt like he'd never run out!
Even if he did, he could just casually farm some Ley Line Outcrops.
However, Furina pricing these strawberries at ten thousand Mora was indeed very high.
Selling them this way would indeed be more profitable than farming Ley Line Outcrops himself. But it would be a waste of his time to set up a stall and sell flowers.
Fortunately, the ownership of the strawberries was handed over to Furina.
After everyone here dispersed, Alex said to Furina, who was looking at the orders she had just recorded: "Then I'll leave these strawberries to you to handle. You can have all the Mora too! I don't need it."
Furina immediately put away the order and tucked it into her embrace, looking at Alex: "Ah? How can one not need Mora! Of course, the more Mora, the better; you can never have too much."
"That's true." Alex nodded. Perhaps he still didn't have a real sense of the Mora in the game.
If it were converted to the spending power of Blue Star money, then even having billions wouldn't be too much.
"Since they're your strawberries, after I sell them, we'll split the Mora fifty-fifty." Furina was quite generous. After all, Alex was just a supplier; she had to handle everything else. But she still gave him half the income.
"I get one, you get nine."
"Fifty-fifty!"
"I get two, you get eight."
"Fifty-fifty."
"The classic three-seven split, I get three, you get seven."
Good heavens! Furina had never seen reverse bargaining before. If she didn't insist on an even split, he would practically be giving them away for free.
"Fifty-fifty!!!"
"Alright, alright!" Alex pursed his lips and finally agreed, then said somewhat helplessly: "Actually, compared to strawberries at ten thousand Mora per piece, I still want to price them at one Primogem per piece... I can even accept ten Primogems for ten pieces as a huge sale!"
"Huh?! Still thinking about your Primogems, are you? Do you think if you turn into Primogems, people will keep trading? Mora is the universal tool for transactions!" Furina crossed her arms and lectured him.
Hearing Furina say this, Alex immediately felt unsure: "Then, is my fruit tea at ten Primogems a cup a good idea?"
Was his perfect plan going to end before it even began?? How would he earn Primogems in the future then!
"A good idea?" Furina didn't quite understand the colloquial term.
Alex explained: "Oh, it means, can this thing be done?"
"Hmm..." Furina pondered, and under Alex's nervous gaze, she still nodded: "I think it's still feasible, it's just that this kind of transaction where you only want Primogems won't last very long, because I don't know how Primogems appear either. There probably aren't many on the continent..."
"Phew, that's good, you scared me." Alex had been needlessly alarmed. So he could still make lemonade and lemon tea tonight.
Alex had already thought it through.
lemonade, because it only uses some lemon and Fontaine's maple syrup, plus free water and some ice cubes. The material cost is low, so ten Primogems a cup.
lemon tea, because it has tea in addition to the above ingredients, making it a bit more high-end, so fifteen Primogems a cup... Even at this price, Alex felt it was too low, practically giving them away for free.
After all, ten Primogems was only equivalent to one Yuan of Blue Star money, or perhaps even less than half.
But could they even have that much...? Alex couldn't help but wonder.
Alex decided to grit his teeth, after all, it was a grand opening sale! He wanted to attract more customers!
Just give it away for free! New store opening, limited time for all items, all for just one Primogem, all one Primogem per cup!!!
If many people bought it, the duration would be shorter.
If even then no one bought it, then he would sell it at this price in the future, exchanging a cup for a pretty stone they didn't want.
After all, if he sold a hundred cups a day, he could earn a hundred Primogems. This was definitely better than only getting sixty Primogems from daily commissions!
...After passing through the ordinary civil servants in the Palais Mermonia, Furina was now preparing to take Alex to the upper floors of the Palais Mermonia.
Because the upper floors of the Palais Mermonia housed the headquarters of Fontaine's Opéra Épiclese and Shadow Court.
First, they arrived at the Opéra Épiclese. Furina followed the same procedure, gathering staff to distribute strawberries for tasting, and everyone who tasted the sweetness gave rave reviews.
Thus, Furina had another reservation order slip in her hand.
As soon as Furina put away the order in her hand, the door to the Opéra Épiclese opened.
A person entered, first very surprised, and then saluted Furina with a military salute, holding his left fist to his chest: "Special Patrol Captain Chevreuse, welcome, Lady Furina... Does Lady Furina have a mission for us?"
After Chevreuse finished speaking, he directly gripped the gun behind him with one hand. Well... he was just about to come back here to rest, but it seemed there was another mission to execute.
Repeating the conversation, Furina placed the gift box in Chevreuse's hand and then left with Alex.
??? For a while, Chevreuse looked at the gift box in his hand with a face full of questions.
There was no mission, and these were strawberries???
The next moment, Chevreuse looked up and saw that everyone inside was staring intently at the box in his hand.
Then, he said sternly: "What are you all standing here for? Get back to training!"
Chevreuse said, then turned and left the Opéra Épiclese.
Hehe, Lady Furina actually gave him a gift! This was a commendation for him!! Chevreuse's steps became more cheerful.
Upon entering the Shadow Court, Alex saw Clorinde sitting there, resting and drinking tea.
Seeing Furina and Alex arrive, he quickly got up and walked over.
"Lady Furina, is there something?" Clorinde's tone was elegant and direct.
"Are all the Shadow Court members here?" Furina asked curiously.
"No! They're all on missions," Clorinde replied decisively.
"That's great... No, what a pity!" Furina cheered, then composed herself.
Clorinde placed his hands under his chest, making him appear even larger to others: "Lady Furina, please tell me directly what you need; I happen to have time to handle it."
"Oh, it's nothing! I have strawberries here for you to try." Furina said, handing the gift box to Clorinde.
"Is that all? I understand. Please place it there. I'll look at it later." Clorinde said, pointing to his desk nearby.
"Oh, then I'll just put it here..." Furina said, placing the gift box on the table and opening it to take out one strawberry.
Returning to Clorinde's front, Furina held the strawberry in her hand to Clorinde's mouth.
Furina knew that, given Clorinde's habits, this strawberry would probably sit untouched for half a day, likely to spoil, so she had to make him taste the sweetness of the strawberry.
