Chapter 45 Blind Box
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The entrance to the Hall of Rebirth today is very different from before.

First, they hung a large banner at the entrance facing the street, which read: "Exquisite clay figurines, 10,000 Mora each."

Below the banner was a long table that served as a display stand with two attendants sitting there. The ground on both sides was filled with exquisite boxes of exactly the same color and shape. From left to right on the table were nine clay dolls: Keqing, Ningguang, Yunjin, Beidou, True Lord Liuyunjiefeng, True Lord Xueyuezhuyang, True Lord Lishuidieshan, True Lord Gechenlangshi, and the Great Sage Jiangmo.

After being fired and painted, these clay dolls are not much inferior to the figurines on Earth. Compared with the clay dolls in other shops, they are even more like a dimensionality reduction attack!

In addition, at the front of the display stand is a lifelike doll of Geo King made by Zhongli himself.

The Emperor puppet has his hands behind his back, one foot slightly forward, his face expressionless, but his eyes reveal a sense of compassion for the world, giving people the illusion that this puppet is alive.

At the main entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao and Lu Shiyuan pushed the door slightly open, revealing a pair of eyes looking at the outside world.

"Shi Yuan, do you think our banner slogan is too concise? Can it attract customers?" Hu Tao was a little worried, "Why don't you listen to me and write some cooler slogans..."

"What do you know? Concentration is the essence." Lu Shiyuan snorted, "Only when people passing by can understand an advertisement at a glance is it a good advertisement.

Besides, the quality of our clay figurines is there, people can see it at a glance, what else do we need to say?"

Just as the two were talking, a young woman who looked like she was from a wealthy family suddenly passed by the stall. She just glanced at the stall casually and was completely attracted.

"This clay doll is so beautiful!" Most girls like beautiful things, and this young woman is no exception. She looked up at the banner and couldn't wait to ask, "Are your clay dolls really only sold for 10,000 Mora? It seems a bit too cheap!"

"Yes, this guest." The hostess behind the desk smiled and nodded.

"Is this clay figurine of the emperor also worth 10,000?"

"Well, I guess the customer saw the extraordinaryness of the Emperor clay figurine. Indeed, it is different from other clay figurines. You need to collect all the clay figurines except the Emperor clay figurine before you can exchange it."

"I see. Although it seems like a bundled sale, I'll forgive you since the product is so good and the price is so cheap. I'll take all the clay figurines on the table."

"No, sir." The waiter smiled and shook his head, pointing to the exquisite box at hand. "The ones on the table are just samples. The clay figures for sale are in the boxes, but we are not sure about the styles of the clay figures inside. Such boxes are called blind boxes by our hall master.

But the price of each blind box is indeed 10,000 Mora.”

"Oh! I was wondering why it was so cheap." The young woman was also smart. She understood the trick in a blink of an eye, but she did not realize the seriousness of the problem at that time. She said carelessly, "Then give me ten boxes first... I can choose by myself!"

As she said this, she placed the purse on the table.

"Thank you for your patronage, distinguished guest." The hostess stood up, took the purse, weighed the Moras, took away 100,000 Moras, and returned the extra Moras to the young woman.

The woman took back her purse and happily went to pick out the blind boxes. She opened one at random and saw the Beidou clay figurine inside that looked exactly like the one on the display stand. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "It looks like the item is real."

So, she packed up the blind box and left happily. "I made 100,000 yuan so quickly?!" Hu Tao, who was watching from the crack of the door, was shocked.

"We've only sold ten." Lu Shiyuan curled his lips. "The cost of clay dolls is very high. Including the clay doll and the box, each one costs 5,000 Mora. We have to sell more to make money!"

"It's already half of the profit, isn't it still not profitable?" Hu Tao was surprised.

"Hehe, if we have a big factory and use assembly line production, the cost can be reduced to two thousand Mora, that would be profitable." Lu Shiyuan snorted.

Hu Tao was stunned for a long time before he could not help but sigh: "You are still black."

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Another customer is coming." Lu Shiyuan reminded, "I just don't know how many blind boxes he can buy?"

The morning passed quickly. Thanks to the exquisite and beautiful clay dolls, their lovely appearance and affordable prices, blind boxes were sold out one after another. Some people opened them on the spot, while others bought a bunch and took them home to open.

Some lucky people got their dream clay figurines in one go, while some unlucky people opened box after box, but still didn't get the clay figurines they liked until they spent all their money.

In just one morning, the blind boxes piled on both sides of the booth were almost sold out.

The only pity is that no one has managed to successfully collect all nine clay figurines in the morning.

"Shi Yuan, do you think the difficulty of gathering all the clay figurines we set is too high?" Hu Tao counted the hills of Mora, but there was no happy expression on her face. "I am a funeral director, not a clay figurine seller."

"You don't understand this." Lu Shiyuan laughed, "Our blind box business has just started, and there are still very few clay figurines circulating on the market, but when this business grows, customers who have been unable to collect clay figurines will buy and sell from each other, and through mutual exchange, they will be able to collect them quickly.

But no matter what, in the end, customers who have collected all the clay figurines will definitely come to us in order to get the clay figurine of the Emperor, and we will then naturally ask them to get the clay figurine of the Emperor for free after purchasing the Wangsheng Hall service."

"Is that so?" Hu Tao's eyes lit up and he immediately became happy.

In the afternoon, just after restocking, the first customer to patronize was the young woman. At this moment, she looked angry and unhappy. As soon as she came to the stall, she said angrily:
"What's wrong with your blind boxes? I opened five Beidou out of ten boxes, and the others were all cranes, deer, and so on. Lady Ningguang, Mr. Yunjin, and that short handsome guy didn't get any."

"This is normal, sir." The waiter smiled. "In this batch of blind boxes, the number of each type of clay figurine is the same. You got more Beidou figurines, so correspondingly, others got fewer Beidou figurines."

Before the waiter finished speaking, a man came over angrily and said, "What happened to your blind box? I bought ten, but only five of them were Ningguang, and not even one of Big Dipper Sister!"

The waiter blinked and looked at the woman, as if to say, "See, I was right."

The young woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at the man, "Hey, do you have a lot of Ningguang dolls?"

"Yeah? What's the problem?"

"Well, I have a lot of Beidou dolls, how about we switch?"
