"Look closely, it's quite cute."

Lucy Cheng came close to the fish tank, almost pressing her face against the glass, and stared at a Magikarp in it. You know what, Magikarp's big, silly eyes are really a bit cute!

This made Alex Carter suddenly realize another sales plan!

If you don't have the strength, make up for it with good looks!

"I've been a nobody for so long that I can't even think of something this simple."

Alex was just thinking about changing the promotional poster to a high-definition picture of the Magikarp, but Lucy asked again, "Where did you get this giant carp? I don't think I've ever seen one before."

Alex blinked: "Trade secrets."

"Tsk, how moral!"

Lucy turned around and walked towards the inner hall again. Judging from her expression, it seems that she really wants to buy one as an ornamental fish?

Alex rolled his eyes and followed her: "Do you want it? I can pick the best one for you."

But Lucy said nonchalantly: "No matter how good it is, it's just a first-level battle pet. Pick the most beautiful one for me!"

All Magikarp look the same, right? Are there any differences between them other than beard color and body size?

Alex showed a look of embarrassment.

Lucy said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself. Look at this carp, its eyes are big and round! And this one, its scales are particularly delicate and small. And this one, its tail is relatively long, making its body shape more streamlined, it should be described as handsome..."

Alex: "So, which one did you like?"

"This one!"

Lucy turned around inside and outside and suddenly pointed her finger at Alex's little princess!

Alex: "Show him away!"

"Hey, stop! I was just kidding!"

Lucy quickly asked, "Could this be your battle pet?"

There was no need to hide this, Alex nodded immediately.

"Hey, hey, hey? Has your psychic talent awakened?"

"Yeah, what?"

"Nothing, congratulations!"

After learning the truth, Lucy's little brain started to work.

She suddenly said, "By the way, can you sell me one at a lower price? I have a tea party tomorrow, and I will help you promote it and try to get each sister to get an ornamental fish. How do you think?"

If she had just mentioned it casually before, like asking about prices when shopping in a mall, now she really wanted to buy it.

In fact, Alex didn't want to miss this opportunity. Especially now that he has just spent a large sum of money and is currently strapped for cash.

So he thought about it and made the figure "eight."

"80% off?"

"Um."

Alex nodded: "Since we are acquaintances, I will sell it at a discount!"

"20% off is 20% off!"

Lucy was unusually decisive. She then walked into the inner hall, pointed at one of the Magikarp, and said, "Let's take this one. It's the ugliest."

Alex was about to ask why.

She added, "Like you."

"Puff!"

Alex quickly covered his mouth: I am obviously very handsome, okay?

In this life, this body is acceptable.

He walked over and touched the Magikarp. A barely perceptible pink glow spread out, and the Magikarp couldn't help but squint.

[Battle Pet: Magikarp]

[Attribute: Water]

[Level: Level 1, Level 9]

[Quality: medium to low quality]

[Talent: Free and Easy]

[Skills: Water Splash, Impact, Thrash]

"Thrash!"

Alex's heart moved.

In the game, Magikarp must reach level 25 before it can learn the skill "Thrash."

(Thrash: Attack the target and cause damage. The power of the move is related to the remaining HP of the player.)

If this medium-to-low-quality Magikarp were placed in the Pokémon game, it would actually be above level 25?

This means that it already has the prerequisites to evolve into Gyarados, but it just lacks an opportunity!

For a moment, Alex didn't want to sell it anymore.

"Are you sure it's this one?"

"Well, does it support home delivery?"

"I'll contact ..."

"Forget it, I'll just ask someone to move it."

As she spoke, Lucy had already picked up the phone.

Not long after, two people came into the store and took away both the fish and the tank!

"My fish tank!"

Alex felt like crying but had no tears.

"Hey! WeChat transfer or payment package?"

"Transfer the money via WeChat."

(15000X80%-10000)X10%=200 Star Coins

A second-hand fish tank costs less than two hundred yuan.

Have to!

No profit or loss, it's given to you for free!

"Ding! Your WeChat has received 12,500."

"Five hundred for a fish tank, is that enough?"

Lucy shook her phone and said with a smile.

Alex immediately calmed down and said, "Why would you want that? 200 each, I'll give you 300 back!"

Lucy pouted immediately: "Bah, if you have the guts, just withdraw!"

Alex: "No ability."

Lucy shook her head, looking helpless.

She pulled the small bag on her shoulder forward, took out a stack of tickets from it, and slapped them on Alex's desk: "Here, our college's sightseeing tickets, a complete set. Starting from the day after tomorrow, every day from 6 pm to 9 pm, for a month. Remember to come and see!"

Alex took the package ticket and was a little stunned: My sister didn't even give it to me!

The girl didn't care about him. She put her five fingers together and scratched like a cat's claws: "Hey, goodbye!"

"All right."

A man who eats someone's food will be grateful to him; a man who receives someone's gift will be grateful to him.

"Goodbye."

…

Alex was a little dazed as he watched the girl leave. Suddenly he realized, "Is she attracted to me?"

[Ding! The first deal is completed by relying on beauty, unlocking the rare title: Power and Sex Merchant. When wearing this title, Charm +1, EQ +1, IQ -1.]

"Puff!"

I almost spit out a mouthful of salty soda!

Alex quickly took out a tissue and wiped it.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Life is always so helpless.

After going through wind and rain, in the end, nothing is left.

Alex bought a fish tank again, and after restocking it, he appraised all the Magikarp and found that the Magikarp sold by the system were at least of medium and low quality.

The only one who learned the "Thrash" skill was the one picked up by Lucy Cheng!

"Is it because I'm too ugly that I wasn't eaten by the Pidgeot, and therefore I've lived longer and gained more experience?"

Alex shook his head and started making the next poster.

[Big sale at a loss!]

[The best-selling ugly pet fish in XXXX! The favorite of billions of girls!]

[High-resolution image:＞＞＜(((·＞.oO]

[Only 15,000, 15,000!]

…

The hour hand turns to 12 o'clock.

Alex was eating takeout noodles, staring blankly at the door.

There is indeed more traffic on weekends than on weekdays.

But that didn't work.

Ever since he sold the first Magikarp by relying on his beauty... bah! and her strength, no one has come into this pet shop since.

No matter how big the poster is, it will be useless.

Do you really have to sell your beauty to make money?

No way!

If Mr. Carter finds out, he will kill me!

"Hmm? Looks like someone is coming!"

A man in a suit hurried past, then suddenly turned back, glanced at the poster, and pushed the door open.

The two fat fish in the store are quite noticeable, and their appearance is pretty close to the word "ugly and cute."

Except for the slightly exaggerated number of "one billion," the poster is absolutely true.

The man in the suit looked around and asked, "Boss, your water-type pet is 1,500?"

"Well..."

Alex continued eating his noodles: "Brother, I missed a zero."

Man in suit: "…"

Disturb!

Turn around.

The wind is strong.

Bullshit!

…

Seeing the only person who came in also ran away, Alex took a sip of noodles and pretended to be calm.

Don't worry, brothers, if you don't buy it now at 15,000, I won't sell it even if the price increases by another 0 tomorrow!

Then, he suddenly had an idea!

"Oh yeah, there's one more trick!"
