Chapter 300 Hunger Marketing, Super Sales

“Teacher Zhang, you have to be clear on one thing first. Regardless of me or Xinhui, none of us requested Ma Sui to give up on the great teacher qualification exam!”

Wang Su’s voice was solemn because Zhang Hanfu’s criticism of them already involved their characters.

For the ‘d’ grade league tournament last year, An Xinhui had led the elite team for the competition. Their results weren’t bad and they entered the top five.

But when it came to the new student group, they had screwed up and ranked at the bottom ten out of 108 schools. If it wasn’t for the fact that the representative group (elite group) had a good enough result, Ma Sui’s abysmal performance would have caused the school to be delisted.

Yes, the group leader of the new students group back then was none other than Ma Sui. Although the responsibility of losing couldn’t be wholly blamed on him, it was hard for him to escape blame since he was the group leader.

In order to make up for his mistakes, Ma Sui had chosen to give up on the 1-star great teacher examination and go into closed-door cultivation for a year, wanting to expunge his humiliation this year.

Honestly speaking, if it wasn’t for the appearance of Gu Xiuxun and Sun Mo, Ma Sui would surely be part of the leading teachers this year as well.

An Xinhui and Wang Su weren’t people who wouldn’t give others a second chance. They did believe in Ma Sui, but Sun Mo and Gu Xiuxun were just too good!

“But no matter what, he has already given up on the 1-star great teacher examination. You are telling him that he isn’t part of the name list now?”

Zhang Hanfu coldly laughed. “Who do you think we should give up on then?”

An Xinhui felt a little vexed. She didn’t want to do this too as she understood Ma Sui’s sacrifice and took note of this in her heart. However, she couldn’t possibly give a name slot for him just because of this if his abilities weren’t up to par, right?

Zhang Hanfu fell silent. Honestly speaking, he wanted face too. He didn’t wish to speak blindly.

Gu Xiuxun was the top graduate from the Myriad Daos Academy and her results after being a new teacher could be considered impressive. Although her school wasn’t a part of the Nine Greats, seeing how she graduated with top grades, this was already a testament to her strength.

Ma Sui would surely not be able to win against her.

And as for Sun Mo, Ma Sui could defeat him in a fight, but he was greatly inferior in terms of ‘functionality’. Sun Mo’s God Hands would most probably be the ‘function’ with the greatest effect.

For the remaining two, one was Fan Yao, and the last one was Song Ren. They were both graduates from the Nine Greats, and their performances last year were even better than Ma Sui. It didn’t make sense to kick either one of them out, right? Upon thinking of this, Zhang Hanfu became shocked. Had that Sun Mo already grown to such an extent where he actually wasn’t able to find any of his flaws?

“Gu Xiuxun!”

Zhang Hanfu had wanted to say Sun Mo, but when he was about to speak, he changed it to Gu Xiuxun. He knew that if he dared to name Sun Mo in this setting, Wang Su, who had mental mysophobia, would definitely dare to smash the cup in his hand onto Zhang Hanfu’s face.

It could be said that out of these four, Sun Mo was the only one irreplaceable.

“Damn!”

Zhang Hanfu cursed in his heart. He felt extremely unhappy.

“Gu Xiuxun’s combat strength is the highest among the four!”

An Xinhui coldly laughed. Although they were supposed to be teachers leading the group, they had to participate in the fight as well. Without absolute combat strength, they would definitely be crushed.

In addition, the other aspects of Gu Xiuxun weren’t bad as well. If it wasn’t for Sun Mo being too impressive this year, Gu Xiuxun would undoubtedly be the best new teacher. “Alright, it’s decided then!”

Wang Su was very busy and didn’t wish to waste time on such a matter. He directly rose to his feet. “If Ma Sui is unhappy with this, get them to resolve it themselves!”

Wang Su admired Sun Mo very much. Hence, he felt that even if Ma Sui challenged Sun Mo to a battle, Sun Mo wouldn’t lose.

“You…”

Zhang Hanfu was almost infuriated to death by Wang Su’s attitude. However, he knew that Wang Su wouldn’t care for a vice headmaster like him, unless he was also a 4-star great teacher. Only then would he be able to gain a little bit of Wang Su’s respect.

After An Xinhui returned to her office, she continued to bend over her desk, busy with her work, ignoring Zhang Hanfu.

“Alright, you guys just do things blindly as you wish. In any case, the Central Province Academy is finished. I’m not worried that there won’t be a place to take me in. At that time, I want to see who is the pathetic one!” Zhang Hanfu coldly laughed.

At the canteen of the Central Province academy.

This was the place where meals were provided for everyone, but the teachers could order more expensive and rare dishes.

“Sister Xia, please eat more!”

Qian Li smiled and added food to Xia Yuan’s bowl with her chopsticks.

“What’s going on with you?”

Li Fang frowned and glanced at the table. The food on it was roughly about 500 taels in terms of their value. To great teachers, this could be considered quite luxurious.

“Hehe, eat first! We will talk after you eat!”

Qian Li felt a little embarrassed.

“It’s better that you speak first. If there’s something I can help you with, I will surely do

SO!”

Xia Yuan didn’t touch her chopsticks. She had always been like this, frank and outspoken.

“Sister Xia, do you have excess giant medicine packets? Can you sell some to me?”

Qian Li squeezed out a smile.

“Mn?” Xia Yuan was taken aback.

“I thought you didn’t believe in their effects?” asked Li Fang.

Seeing that the matter didn’t concern her, Li Fang began to feast on the food joyfully. (Mn, the standard of our school’s great chef really isn’t bad!)

Qian Li had an awkward look on her face.

Xia Yuan shot a glance at Li Fang, mentally saying ‘weren’t you almost the same as well!? If it wasn’t for her coincidentally meeting Xia Yuan during the second time and learned of the miraculous effects of the giant medicine packet, Li Fang wouldn’t have bought them either.

Qian Li pressed her palms together, indicating for Li Fang not to make fun of her anymore.

“I don’t have any left!”

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly.

“Ah? It can’t be, right? I thought you are very close to Headmaster An? If you ask her, you should be able to get quite a few medicine packets, right?” Qian Li didn’t believe in her words. In this era, whoever had good stuff would surely share it with their close friends and direct subordinates first!

There was less than a month before the league tournament would start. According to the situation, with the past years as a basis, the hottest topic in school should be about the representative teachers and student candidates. But for this year, all the teachers were talking about the giant medicine packets.

There was no solution to this. The effects of the medicine packet were truly too awesome. When one used it in a bath, a giant would even manifest. This was simply magical! The teachers who used it showed clear signs of changes. Their strengths had all improved. Everyone was a teacher here, so their judgment wasn’t bad and they could see the differences. After they asked a few questions, they soon obtained the answers from those who used the medicine packets.

After all, those teachers who had bought the first batch of medicine packets wouldn’t lie. They had originally bought the packets because they wanted to help An Xinhui. Hence, they wanted nothing more than for the medicine packets to go viral. They sang its praises and even exaggerated wildly.

These teachers wanted to test the effects of the giant medicine packets, but the stock was already cleared. Hence, they could only look for their friends.

These teachers who kept the giant medicine packets actually didn’t want to sell theirs. But because of peer pressure, they still decided to sell the packets.

Hence, the number of teachers who had tried the giant medicine packets increased during these few days. After experiencing the magical effects, they weren’t able to extricate themselves and began thinking of solutions to obtain more giant medicine packets.

In fact, even teachers from other schools came by to enquire.

After Qian Li heard about it, she immediately sought out her best friend for help, but she didn’t manage to purchase them. Hence, she decided to look for Xia Yuan whom she had a passable relationship with.

“I really don’t have any more packets with me. I heard that the medical ingredients used to make the medicine packet are not only many in variety, but they are very rare as well. The school will need a while to collect these ingredients.”

Xia Yuan wanted to help but wasn’t able to do anything. Her social connections were good and she had many friends. As she was also not proficient in rejecting others, she only had three giant medicine packets remaining.

“Teacher Qian, if Sister Xia still has some packets, do you think that I would leave some for you? I would have asked her to sell them to me!”

Li Fang’s lips curled.

“That’s true!”

Qian Li sighed. (How good would it be if I trusted Headmaster An a little more back then!”)

“However, this prescription passed down by Headmaster An’s clan is truly impressive. Now, the financial crisis of our school should be over.”

Li Fang heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the Central Province Academy didn’t collapse, she didn’t need to worry about looking for another job.

Xia Yuan’s brows were furrowed. Without the old headmaster here, how could An Xinhui protect such a magical prescription? Most probably, she didn’t take this out before because of worry! “Sister Xia, can you ask Headmaster An when the second batch of medicine packets will be ready for sale? I want to be prepared this time!”

Qian Li could only wait for the next time. She decided to prepare enough money and come to join the queue the night before the medicine packet was ready for sale. She wanted to purchase 50 packets in one go.

To cultivators, money was an external object, while one’s cultivation base and strength were their foundations.

After the meal, Xia Yuan went to the headmaster office.

“Teacher Xia, is something the matter?”

An Xinhui lifted her head and glanced over before continuing with her work.

“I knew you would skip your meal!”

Xia Yuan passed over a bento. “I brought rice and a few dishes for you. Eat them and fill your stomach first!”

“Thanks!”

An Xinhui didn’t reject it.

In the past, she didn’t eat because she wanted to save money. After all, the canteen belonged to her, so every bit she could save, counts. But now, An Xinhui didn’t lack money. She didn’t eat because she was simply too busy.

“You are the banner of the Central Province Academy. You have to take care of your body so that it doesn’t break down due to fatigue!”

After Xia Yuan placed the food down, she pulled An Xinhui over.

“There’s too much food!”

An Xinhui frowned. She then only took two kinds of food.

Xia Yuan continued chatting about some random topics. After seeing that An Xinhui was about to be done with the meal, she knew that if she didn’t ask now, she might not have the chance later. Hence, she gritted her teeth and asked her question.

“Xinhui, I bought over ten giant medicine packets, and they are really good to use. But after the other teachers learned about it, they all began to ask them from me.”

Xia Yuan complimented the product first before adding, “When will the second batch be ready for sale? Is it half a month later?”

“That was the original plan, but there have been some minor incidents.” An Xinhui bitterly smiled.

Out of the first batch of medicine packets. One-fifth were sold to the teachers, while another one-fifth were gifted to those influential merchants and powerful nobles.

And three days later, the reputation of the medicine packets exploded.

All of them sent servants here to purchase the packets, and the money they brought with them consisted of hundreds of thousands of taels.

An Xinhui didn’t expect it to be so popular. While she was excited, she also felt regret that the number of medicine packets was too little.

Many people felt that the manufacturing process of such a good item would surely be very difficult. The medicinal ingredients would be very expensive as well. Hence, the supply would surely not be enough.

The powerful nobles and influential merchants naturally didn’t lack money. For the sake of enjoying the giant medicine packets in advance, they all indicated that they were willing to pay a premium price.

An Xinhui had wanted to act, but Sun Mo persuaded her to wait a little.

After that, An Xinhui discovered that for every day that passed, the status of those who came to visit would be higher than before, from servants, to butlers, to the clan lords themselves.

The price they offered also climbed increasingly higher. This was especially so for those who had soaked in a bath with the giant medicine packet before. They offered a sky-high price that was hard to reject. An Xinhui did some calculations and decided that when the remaining three-fifths of the giant medicine packets were all sold, the net income would reach a terrifying 90 million taels!

During that night, An Xinhui was so excited that she had no way to focus on her work.

An Xinhui finally understood the concept of hunger marketing and also discovered that her childhood sweetheart was a rare marketing genius!
