With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 44 Revolutionary Products

Lin Fan realized that he never asked Yue Lan about what kind of store she was opening.

He had just known that she wanted to open a store, but he had no idea what items this store would be selling.

So he turned to Yue Lan and asked, "Right, I forgot to ask, but what kind of store are you going to open?"

Yue Lan was surprised when she heard this, but then she realized that she hadn't told Lin Fan what kind of store it would be. She had just told him that she wanted to open a store.

After realizing this mistake, Yue Lan couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a strange look.

He didn't even know what kind of store she wanted to open and he was willing to invest this much money…She didn't know how to feel about this.

It wasn't that she was moved by this, but rather she didn't know whether Lin Fan could be called stupid or naive.

She wasn't worried about herself, but rather she was worried that Lin Fan would be tricked by others. She didn't want him to be hurt like she had been hurt before.

But as she thought more about it, she realized that the situation wasn't what she thought it was. With the way that he had handled the noble, Lin Fan couldn't be considered a fool. He could even be considered quite decisive.

It was a completely different problem.

He was too kind when it came to people that he trusted.

That was a problem in this world because there were many times that people that you trusted could betray you. This was just how the world was, it was a dog eat dog world.

After all, that was what happened to her…

She was worried that Lin Fan would be taken advantage of for his kindness. But at the same time, she didn't want Lin Fan to lose his kindness since that was what she fell in love with.

At that moment, she also decided that she would do all she could to protect this kindness of his.

When she looked over at Xiao Yue, she found that Xiao Yue was also looking at her with the same look. As if by tacit understanding, the two of them gave a nod.

Lin Fan had turned around at the right time to catch this and he was surprised by this. He couldn't help asking them, "What's going on?"

The two of them looked at each other again and once again as if by tacit understanding, they said at the same time, "Nothing at all."

Without waiting for Lin Fan to react, the two of them headed off to another store.

Lin Fan was just left there with his question unanswered.

But later on, he asked the same question again and Yue Lan gave him an answer this time.

While they had been enjoying lunch, Lin Fan had brought up this topic again.

This time Yue Lan gave him his answer, "It'll just be a general store that will sell a bit of everything."

Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows.

He came from the modern world, so at the very least, he knew that specialization was the way to go. If one focused on getting involved in a bit of everything, they would overstretch themselves and that would hurt them in the long run.

But Yue Lan's answer completely shattered this thought.

"It's because the store has a connection to a high ranked mercenary like you. As long as you keep bringing in materials, it's better to take the general route."

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this.

Yue Lan saw this and explained, "Spirit beast materials can be turned into a variety of items, so as long as you bring them in, we will be selling all kinds of products. So even if we wanted to, we wouldn't be able to specialize in one thing unless we only sold spirit beast materials. However, if we did so that, it would be a waste since turning them into products to sell would yield much greater profits. That's why it's better for us to take the general route instead of the specialized route."

Then after a pause, she added, "Not to mention that I gave all the different connections that I can use."

Lin Fan gave a nod of understanding when he heard this.

That was right, there was that information that he forgot about.

To put it simply, Yue Lan already had experience with this because of her father's business, so there were the past connections that she could use.

This was not something that anyone could do, it was something that only she could do. And if she didn't use these connections it would be a waste…

After thinking this through, Lin Fan no longer had any doubts about Yue Lan's store. Instead, after learning what kind of store it was, he started having some ideas about products that he could stock in the store.

Seeing that Lin Fan had gone silent, Yue Lan was worried that something was wrong, so she asked, "Master, is everything alright?"

Lin Fan didn't respond because he had been lost in thought, so Yue Lan couldn't help being more worried. She leaned in and tapped his arm as she asked, "Master?"

Suddenly seeing something touch him surprised Lin Fan and he jumped slightly, surprising both Xiao Yue and Yue Lan who were looking at him with concerned looks.

Lin Fan looked up with a surprised look and seeing how Xiao Yue and Yue Lan were looking at him, he realized what he did wrong.

He just said with a smile, "Nothing, it's nothing at all. I was just lost in thought about some products for the store."

Yue Lan revealed a confused look when she heard this and she asked, "Products for the store? Master, what ideas do you have?"

Lin Fan was about to speak, but then he found that it was quite hard for him to put his idea into words. After all, these were things that had never existed in this world, but had existed in his previous world.

Even if he were to explain it, it would be hard for them to understand based on his explanation alone.

So after thinking about it, Lin Fan decided not to explain, but rather to take them to a woodworking shop. He decided that it was just simpler for him to have them make the products that he wanted to show them instead of describing them since they were rather easy to make.

Once they arrived, Lin Fan left the girls to talk to the owner of the woodworking shop.

While the owner was surprised by what Lin Fan was asking for, he was still able to understand it and he even became a bit curious about what they were for, so he personally made the items that Lin Fan was asking for.

When the first item was done, Lin Fan brought it over to Yue Lan to demonstrate what the item was for.

The item that Lin Fan had gotten the boss to make was very simple, it was just a few wooden blocks that had all the same basic size, but there were a few tiny variations if one looked carefully.

When Yue Lan saw this, she couldn't help being confused as she asked, "What are these blocks for?"

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile, but he didn't answer as he began stacking those blocks together. Very soon, he had formed a small tower with those blocks and he gave an inviting gesture to Yue Lan.

Yue Lan was even more confused when she saw this, but she played along and came forward to look at the tower.

She found that there wasn't anything strange about this tower at all, it was just a simple tower that was made of wooden blocks.

Lin Fan saw this and he explained, "Try taking one of the blocks out and then put it on the top. If you topple the tower, it means that you lose."

Yue Lan didn't think that this was that hard, but she still did as Lin Fan asked her to do. She found that not all the blocks were as easy to take out as she imagined and after tapping a few times, she finally found one that was loose enough for her to pull out.

Lin Fan did the same thing and they continued like this until the tower seemed like it was about to tip over.

When it was Yue Lan's move again, she found that there wasn't a single loose piece for her to pull out, so she had no choice but to try to pull out one of the harder pieces. However, in the end, by trying to force it, the tower tipped over.

But even though the tower tipped over, Yue Lan didn't seem to care about losing.

Instead, she started looking at this tower with an interested look.

This game seemed simple at first, but once you got into it, you would find that it was harder than it looked. It would definitely be something that people would be interested in, not to mention that it was very cheap to make, only costing a few pieces of wood.

Yue Lan immediately turned to Lin Fan and asked, "What is this thing called?"

Lin Fan replied, "Jenga."

Yue Lan repeated it first, "Jenga…" Then after a pause, she said in an excited voice, "This could work! I can feel that it will sell very well!"

Lin Fan just revealed a confident smile. After all, he knew that this would sell well since this was a popular game in his previous world.

It was at this time that the woodworking shop's boss came over with the next item.

It was a board with an eight by eight grid and sixty four wooden pieces with black and white painted on opposite sides.
