Ding! Congratulations, you have acquired a new Passive Skill "Basic Business Thinking"
Ding! Congratulations, you have received 500 General Points!
System notification: You can enter a lucky draw once you accumulate 1000 points. Please discover the ways to earn points on your own!
"Basic Business Thinking": The essence of business is capital and circulation, and you have begun to realize this! Passive Effect: Wealth increase by $5/day.
After checking the effects of the passive skill, Yue Feng was somewhat surprised that it was a skill that gave money every day; although $5 a day wasn't much, it was still something for nothing.
Besides the skill, he also received five hundred points. The points could be used for lucky draws, but with only five hundred, it wasn't enough to participate.
The system had given a reward, which indicated that Yue Feng's efforts were on the right track!
What to do next? Yue Feng's gaze swept around the shop, and his mind began racing.
Many people don't achieve world-renowned success not because they lack bright ideas but perhaps because they haven't found the right entry point.
Just like Yue Feng, who, after a simple inventory check of the store, received a system reward and began to vaguely feel that he understood something.
Since it involved running a store, naturally, all conventional actions that increased store sales were beneficial!
With that thought, Yue Feng picked up a broom and thoroughly cleaned the entire store!
Ding! Cleanliness of the store +70!
Congratulations, you've received a 200-point reward!
It really worked!
If cleaning was effective, what about organizing the shelves?
After thinking this, Yue Feng, with patience, reorganized every item in the store.
The bait that was dusty and unsold was cleaned and rearranged on the shelves. Additionally, Yue Feng adjusted the order of merchandise on the shelves, swapping the positions of high-selling products with those that sell less to better showcase them.
He rearranged everything from top to bottom.
Ding! Cleanliness of goods +10, Presentation +80
Congratulations, you have received a 200-point reward!
Yes! Another reward!
Seeing the points rapidly accumulating, Yue Feng immediately began to look forward to the next hundred points that would bring his Total Points to 1000 and allow him to enter a lucky draw, curious about what he might receive.
His gaze swept the store again, but Yue Feng couldn't find any more ways to earn points, which made him scratch his head in frustration.
This seems simple, but it's indeed difficult when you actually do it; the system offers no hints, and all rewards are triggered, making the interaction mechanism unfriendly!
System, system!
"Here!"
Is there any task I can do at this stage that I'm unaware of? Can you give me a hint?
"You are currently in the beginner trial stage; please discover all actions on your own!"
Seeking help only to be ruthlessly rejected by the system, Yue Feng scratched his head helplessly; this approach was a dead end.
As he was racking his brains, the glass door of the shop creaked open, and a middle-aged angler with a dark complexion dressed in fishing gear entered!
"Do you have Rice Wine and earthworms here? Also, get me a 4.5-meter Seven-star float line set! When did you open this shop? I only noticed it when I came to the alley to buy buns; you really picked a hidden spot!"
"Yes! We just opened. I'm not very familiar with it, which kind would you like?" Yue Feng hurriedly returned to his senses and greeted him.
Quickly, Yue Feng completed his first business transaction—the customer bought two packs of cheap Rice Wine for wild fishing, two boxes of earthworms, and a main line, totaling $12!
Ding! Congratulations on completing your first business transaction! System reward: revenue doubled!
The $12 in loose change in Yue Feng's hand magically doubled!
Darn! If only I'd sold more! Yue Feng muttered to himself in frustration, turning one hundred into two hundred seemed worth it, but 12 doubling to just 24, what's the use!
Unsatisfied as he was, he still needed to find new ways to enhance his skills. After racking his brain, Yue Feng finally discovered another possible improvement.
The inventory of hand-tied traditional Seven-Star Float lines in the shop was running low, and many models were already out of stock. He wondered if preparing some in advance could earn him some points!
With that thought, Yue Feng got to work.
Making conventional fishing lines was quite simple—Seven-Star Floats, Sky Hooks, all things Yue Feng knew. He had first learned about these as a child when he started fishing. It's just that he had grown up and stopped touching these after starting work, making him a bit rusty.
Imitating as taught, he quickly had the first line set tied up, but the system notification Yue Feng anticipated didn't come!
Had he guessed wrong?
No, that couldn't be right. When he began cleaning initially, he didn't receive a reward either; it must be that the rewards are calculated after the task is completed!
With that realization, Yue Feng busied his hands even more, replenishing all the low-stock line sets, tying over thirty pairs. He had stock for every conventional model, with at least five backup pairs for each model.
Ding! Seven-Star Float line set inventory +50!
Ding! Congratulations on earning 500 Points as a reward!
Ding! Congratulations on completing three hidden routine tasks! Skill [Basic Business Thinking] upgraded to [Beginner Merchant]
Career Skill Unlocked!
Ding! Congratulations on acquiring the skill [Insight]
[Insight]: As a merchant, noting the subtleties is an essential ability, observation skills increased by 50%.
Ding! Congratulations on acquiring the passive skill [Greed]
[Greed]: In business, the ultimate aim of [Beginner Merchant] is to make money.
Passive Effect: Wealth growth of 8 Yuan/day, every monetary gain increased by an additional 10%.
Seeing the effects of the newly unlocked skills, Yue Feng was once again dumbfounded. Career skills too?
With Greed's passive effect enhanced and Insight being terrifyingly effective, Yue Feng now glanced over the shop, and previously overlooked details sharply appeared before his eyes.
Damaged Wild Battle Blue Carp
Expiring red worm earthworm nesting pellets
Poor quality hand-tied line sets
Various items appeared differently to Yue Feng,
This wasn't just a 50% increase in observational power; it was practically like having a humanoid scanner.
After checking the skill effects, Yue Feng quickly shifted his focus to Points. The last reward of 500 points brought his Total Points to 1400, and he could now enter a drawing!
Yue Feng mentally initiated the draw!
Soon, a magnificently designed huge disc appeared in his consciousness, with a golden pointer hanging at the starting space. The disc was crammed with countless awards, and Yue Feng wanted to see more clearly, but his eyesight just wasn't good enough to discern the effective content.
Start!
The disc began spinning, and eventually, the golden pointer landed on a reward!
Ding! Congratulations on winning the badge [Wild Fishing Explorer]
[Wild Fishing Explorer]: Fish catching rate while wild fishing increased by 15%, effective when worn!
Wow! It's a badge! The badge was only the size of a thumb pad, with a dark gold base, featuring an angler holding a fishing rod. At the edge of the fishing line, the head of a big fish peeked out, and the design looked quite exquisite.
Yue Feng examined the small badge in his hand, becoming quite attached to it. He casually opened the safety pin to wear it.
Ding! [Wild Fishing Explorer] badge effect activated, valid for 720 hours, the badge will disappear automatically when the time ends!
