Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 40: Collectibles

Shining card!

Although Moria didn't know what the shining card meant, judging from the face of that card, it was undoubtedly much more precious.

At this time, most of the people in the front row had already gotten their own cards. They communicated with each other and found that only the girl got the shining card.

The value of this card was self-evident.

To be honest, Moria originally thought that the cards presented by Cola were just a small embellishment, but after actually seeing the cards, he changed his opinion.

These cards were exquisite and meticulous, and it could be seen that they were made with great effort. They could even be sold separately, but the Luna Nova Cola actually directly gifted them to their customers.

He couldn't help remembering that when he was queuing at the door before, he heard a man nearby saying that this kind of card would become a valuable collection. At first, Moria didn't believe it, but now he believed that the man had great foresight.

"Hi, miss, I am willing to buy it with fifty silver coins."

Immediately, a well-dressed nobleman came over and said to the girl.

Fifty silver coins. This was not a small amount of money.

"I will pay sixty."

As soon as the other party's voice fell, a chubby middle-aged man walked over from the other side. The three cards in his hand were unfortunately the same mage. After thinking about it, he added.

"I can still exchange the one in my hand."

"The Night Baron Arcado Integola? Don't be kidding. Almost everyone has this card, and it's just a piece of junk."

The woman on the other side mocked. She pointed to the card in the hand of the fat man and said. Looking around, this black card was very common indeed.

"Why don't I give you 60 silver coins, plus this Aurora Shooter Hedrassil Mirimite? This card is also quite rare at the moment."

The lady approached, tempted with the card in her hand.

Indeed, this card that depicted a female mage holding a bow and arrow of light, Aurora Shooter Hedrassil Mirimite has only appeared once at the moment. In terms of rarity, it was similar to a shining card. In fact, that shining card, except for the card surface, was just ordinary light chaser Lincoln Woolthorpe. It was not rare. This transaction sounded like a good deal.

"You can't say that. Even if you don't have some ordinary cards, if you keep trying to collect them, you will eventually get them. But I don't believe ordinary cards are rarer than shining cards."

The collector customer from earlier spoke, and then said to the girl who was already at a loss.

"This young lady, I suggest you take good care of this shining card. In the foreseeable future, the value of this card will continue to rise. This is my advice."

"Who are you, how can you be so sure?"

The chubby man asked, seeming to be a little angry that his plan of exchanging cards didn't work out.

"Me? I'm just a collector."

The collector pushed up his glasses and said mysteriously.

......

Even Reiner did not expect that in just one day, the card marketing plan of Luna Nova Cola would be so popular all over Prester. Those exquisite and interesting cards were loved by nobles and merchants. For them, the drawing on the cards was very interesting, and all kinds of mages on the cards satisfied their curiosity about magic. More importantly, the cost of obtaining these exquisite cards was not high; all they needed was to buy a bottle of cola.

People soon discovered that the frequency of appearance of various cards was not consistent, some were rare and some were common. As for shining cards, even buying hundreds of bottles of Cola may not necessarily be able to obtain one. It was extremely rare.

By the evening of the same day, in the collectibles trading market, there were already new Luna Nova Cola mage cards in circulation. The highest transaction price came from a common version of Aurora Shooter Hedrassil Mirimite, worth 75 silver coins. In terms of the shining cards, it was priceless.

Piram, who was in Prester, naturally noticed this change.

Piram has started the production of "real" Cola by relying on the alchemy magic circle stolen by Sanderson. He did not rush to analyze the alchemy magic circle because his alchemists had tried to analyze the alchemy magic circle once before. At that time, the phenomenon of magic backlash actually appeared, which meant that certain links of the alchemy magic circle had exceeded the current theory.

He believed that this was Antoine's trick. He deliberately set up this kind of trap in the alchemy magic circle in an attempt to make his long-established cognition collapse, and then he would suffer a magic backlash.

Anyway, it could be used even if it was not analyzed. When Piram drank his own Cola that tasted almost the same as Antoine's Luna Nova Cola, he could almost even see Antoine kneeling to the ground begging.

Piram wrote a letter to Hailar Ian Gray, who was far away from him, reporting to him the latest developments. According to the words of the other party's last reply, Piram learned that Hailar had already started his own business and in the future, he was likely to become the new master of Ian Gray's family, so he made up his mind to ride on his coattails, so he was obedient to Hailar's request.

When he read the newspaper and discovered that Luna Nova Cola was about to include some promotional cards, Piram didn't feel anything. He just thought it was a dying struggle. But on the first day of the Month of Flowing Fire, the Luna Nova Cola's mage cards even became popular in his own Alchemy workshop. Then Piram realized the seriousness of the problem.

He immediately sent people to conduct a visit and investigation. But his men only found that the sale of the Piram Cola, which had already improved a little, decreased a lot. The reason was that only by purchasing Luna Nova Cola, would people be able to get mage cards.

Even in the surrounding cities where there were only Piram Cola in the market, people also began to search for the shops that sold Luna Nova Cola because the mage cards were too popular. Thanks to Piram's advertisement, the people in those cities had already accepted cola, this kind of new drink. Although Luna Nova Cola tasted almost the same as Piram, people would be able to get valuable mage cards, so everyone now began to buy Luna Nova Cola.

Only then did Piram realize that his previous market expansion behaviors now all benefited Luna Nova Cola. People started to ignore Piram's cola, and Luna Nova Cola's sales began to increase without any effort.

In fact, in order to completely defeat Antoine, Piram has arranged many Cola production lines in his alchemy workshops. It even affected other businesses of his. At this moment, Piram's warehouse was filled with mountains of Piram Cola that were prepared to be shipped to the surrounding major cities. If he couldn't sell them, it would be a huge blow to the entire alchemy workshop!

Of course, Piram had also thought of continuing to copy Luna Nova Cola's market strategy, but whether it was designing cards or making printing, including changing Cola's packaging, it would take time, and it would take two weeks at the earliest.

And he had to find a way to make sure that the sale wouldn't decrease in those two weeks.

Thinking of this, Piram clenched his fist and slammed the tabletop hard.

So angry!
