Chapter 370: Advancement tests.
Luciano wasn’t done with the good news.
“I have also purchased a small warehouse and I have employed 3 workers to handle production, and as more orders arrive I would hire more workers.”
Luciano didn’t want Blake’s time to be taken up by the business. So he had taken the initiative to hire some workers.
“Wow! That’s great, thanks man!” Blake was ecstatic by the good news.
“So what is the next step?” Luciano asked as they were all seated on the floor cross-legged.
“The main goal now is to get customers, and for us to do that we have to advertise.”
“Like you all already know, I plan on making one for Tessie’s parents in hopes that it would help bring awareness to our product. Apart from that my options are very limited.” Blake said.
…..
Unlike Earth which had things like billboards and the internet, Infinite realm had none. They were severely lacking in the advertising sector, and it was giving Blake ideas of turning it into a business.
‘1 step at a time.’ Blake couldn’t help but rein his thoughts as ideas from Earth were popping up in his brain.
“That shouldn’t be an issue then. All I need from you is to make 3 of the upgraded version of the humidifier air freshener and the advertisement problem would be solved.” Luciano said.
“How exactly are you planning on doing it?” Although Blake knew that Luciano was more than capable, he just wanted to how he would solve the problem in case of future references.
“Simple, I will get nobles with quite high prestige who are planning on hosting parties to put it in their homes.”
“Other nobles would definitely want to have theirs, and most likely, the nobles that have the humidifier would want to buy it.” Luciano explained.
“That is more than perfect. All I have to do now is make the upgraded version and send it to the Winchester family.” Blake said.
Immediately after their meeting was over, Blake, Brian, and Castiel went to work and began making the upgraded version and 1 for each of them.
…
6 hours later, 8 humidifiers were sitting on Blake’s reading table. 2 were for Brian and Castiel, and they were made of gold and silver, while the remaining 6 were made of pure gold.
1 was for the Winchester family, 2 were for Luciano and Tessie (yes, they paid for it), and the last 3 were for Luciano to advertise. .𝙘𝒐𝒎
“Why didn’t you craft any golden humidifier for yourself?” As the founder and owner of the business, Castiel was wondering why Blake was still using an inferior version.
“Because I do not need a golden version when this one does the same job. Also, having the same thing as nobles would raise suspicions if anyone gets to see it in my room.” Blake explained.
“I am surprised that you are willing to spend so much money on these.” Brian said.
The resources used to make 4 of the golden humidifiers came from Blake’s pocket. So they were surprised he was not complaining.
“This is because I see it as an investment. Even though it is a quite risky investment, I can always melt the gold and use it for something else.”
Since they were done with their task, Brian and Castiel went to their rooms to freshen up, while Blake began writing the letter he would send to the Winchester family.
After he was done, Blake finally hit the shower before taking a well-deserved rest.
…
By evening time, Blake had already delivered the golden humidifiers to Luciano and the Winchester family, leaving him with nothing else to do.
“3 weeks break, what will I be doing?” Blake was thinking about how he would spend his break.
“It would take at least 2 months before I will be able to hunt. Also, there would be almost no commission for us since every adventurer is currently in the city. The demand for commissions would be greater than the supply.”
“At this point, I am not sure if I am happy that Luciano hired workers.” Blake let out a wry laugh.
[Since you don’t have anything serious to do, then you should use this period to advance to the Hero realm.] The system said.
“My thoughts exactly.” Blake said as he crashed on the bed face first.
“If I remember correctly, you said something about needing rituals or tests to advance. Can you explain more about it?” Blake asked the system as he rolled.
[The Mother-stream is the source of all life and magic in the universe. So as one keeps rising in realm, it has to make sure that he or she is worthy of the strength being bestowed upon them and ready for then things to come.]
[So even if one reaches the peak of a realm, they can’t just barge their way into the next realm even by absorbing an unlimited energy source.] The system explained.
“Then why didn’t I need any test to advance to the warrior and Champion realm?” Blake asked.
[That is because the warrior and champion realms are the basic realms with no form of responsibilities.]
[During my time when Infinite realm was high on resources, babies were born into the world as warriors, and as they grew old, they would naturally advance to the champion realm.] The system answered.
‘Wow! That must have been a very incredible time to be alive.’ Blake thought, but the system shook its head because it was actually the most dangerous time to be alive, especially for the human race in general.
His era produced so many high-level cultivators and inventions, but it gave birth to a lot of chaos and wars because everyone wanted to be at the top.
Apart from fighting their fellow humans, there was the presence of other stronger races that were hostile to humans, unlike the current era where humans only had to fight themselves and beasts.
