My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 782

"Alright, alright. Don't get upset—this is normal," Kisha said calmly to 008, who was sulking inside her mind. "Some people only care about profit, while others prioritize customer experience. It's clear that at least half of the buyers were genuine customers who came to see the product for themselves, while the rest saw it as a business opportunity."

"We can't blame them for that. What we need to do now is adjust our approach, stay patient, and wait for the buzz to grow. Once it does, our store will only continue to rise."

Kisha had also increased the price of her Scarlet Honey from 1,000 to 2,000 system points, now that many had tested it and realized how effective it was. She had started to see returning customers.

Over time, her proficiency in inscribing improved, and she reached the intermediate level. As a result, her Slave Contract skill had also advanced. What once cost 150 system points for the novice version now requires 1,500 points for the intermediate tier.

With this upgrade, she could begin using the contract to bind those around her, not out of distrust, but as an added layer of protection to ensure loyalty and deter betrayal.

Given all this—and with demand still running high—it was clear that her store was thriving. The consistent interest in her products proved that the quality wasn't falling short compared to larger or higher-level stores. In fact, her Scarlet Honey was something truly unique—it couldn't be found anywhere else.

As Kisha checked her store's inventory, she realized there was even more to be proud of. The spiritual crops, for instance, were a rare commodity. According to 008, very few shops offered spiritual crops from the Murim world.

That made sense; nurturing a spiritual tree that bore spiritual fruits was no easy feat. The same went for spiritual crops, rare ingredients with spiritual properties—whether it be fish, meat, or even spiritual spring water.

And now that she thought about it, her store had something special—something others didn't.

Now that the spiritual spring was flowing throughout her entire territory, nurturing all living things equally, it wouldn't be long before she could harvest spiritual fish and other seafood.

Once that happens, she can list them on the sales channel as well. Just thinking about it made Kisha grin even wider. Without realizing it, she was starting to think like 008—becoming a bit of a money grubber herself. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

Then, Kisha remembered the slave contracts and glanced around the entertainment room. "This... this is perfect," she muttered with a smile. Now that she had more people in her hidden base, and since she'd already decided to make this her main base, the only ones who could stay here were those she trusted—her core members.

And for them, she would require them to sign the slave contract, especially Hugo and the others. After all, if they were going to process the manure into compost, it would take some time before the final product was ready.

If they followed the timeline outside, it could take days, and the animal waste inside her territory would only continue to pile up. The best solution, Kisha thought, was to let Hugo and the other farmers enter her territory to do the processing.

At the same time, while granting them access, she could limit where they could go and make them believe that the area they were entering was just a part of the hidden base, concealed by an illusory protective barrier.
