Chapter 8 Conquering the Royal Capital

The refinement of magic is indeed quite difficult for mages who see magic purely as attack destruction.

But for Zhou Ming, magic, like Lingyuan, can be used in various aspects like the arm of a soul.

And practice makes perfect, the more you use it daily, the faster the magic will naturally improve.

It is even more effective than pure magic attack training, and the control ability will be greatly improved.

In other words, Zhou Ming can improve his strength in the process of making cakes.

And this improvement rate is quite impressive, almost every month, he can make an extra 10 inches of cake every day.

In addition, after discovering the benefits of making cakes to increase their magic power, several female students also joined the magic cake shop, which increased the production of magic cakes.

The production of magic cakes has increased, and the price has naturally decreased slightly, and a small low-cost version of the 10-inch magic cake has been launched, which costs about 300 gold coins...... This has won some of the middle and lower consumption level of the aristocracy.

If you still can't afford it, then buy ordinary cakes, although ordinary cakes are handmade and don't taste as good as magic cakes, but for those who have never eaten cakes, they are still delicious in the world.

The price is not expensive, about 100 gold coins a ...... If you can't afford to spend, then you can only wonder if the other party is a nobleman?

In short, by setting different price levels, the aristocratic class of the entire royal capital can afford to eat the cake.

As for the promotion of the product, it is naturally up to the female students in the class to do it.

Even some male classmates were pulled into the crowd of advertisements.

Then it spread to the outer classes, and through several birthday celebrations, all 5 classes of the Brno School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were also won.

The vast majority of the students in these classes were of aristocratic origin.

As long as these students take a cake to their own family and invite their parents, elders or siblings to taste it, the family is basically completely won.

This kind of marketing strategy is what Zhou Ming calls "classmate strategy".

As aristocrats, Lilith and her sisters also have their own circle of friends, or girlfriends.

Princess Syvines, the daughter of King James Thurbert, is Lilith's best friend.

Princess Severnis is a recognized beauty of the kingdom, with long, maroon wavy hair, an angelic face, a heroic figure, a taller figure than most men, and the cultivation of a great swordsman - she is also a thorny rose, and she is not false to any man.

"This daughter is really like me, and if it weren't for the obstruction of the Law of Succession, I would have wanted Syvanis to be the queen of the kingdom. ”

King Jaime had said this more than once in front of his close ministers, but above Princess Syvaneth, there were three older brothers, including Prince Luther...... The succession to the throne could not have been the turn of Princess Syvines.

And Princess Syvanis is also a very filial daughter.

The king's sixtieth birthday will be in a few days, and Princess Syvanis is still having a headache, what gift should she give to her father.

It stands to reason that a woman's mind is delicate, and she is a warm baby for her parents, and she knows how to choose the most suitable gift to express her filial piety, but Severnis really doesn't know what to give...... Her personality has been as bold as a man in years of swordsman training, and her nerves are relatively thick.

I don't know what to choose.

It wasn't until her best friend Lilith came to her with a small piece of cake that Severne's eyes lit up after tasting the cake.

……

in the royal palace.

Inside the main hall where the festival is held.

The brightly lit dinner was accompanied by music and was very lively.

As today's birthday star, King James, dressed in gorgeous new clothes, has a ruddy complexion and is in a good mood.

After accepting the gifts from his courtiers, as well as the gifts from his three sons, King Jaime was slightly disappointed...... It's his birthday, why hasn't his daughter Severis come over yet?

Has my daughter forgotten that today is his 60th birthday? Or has it been delayed because of something else?

"Her Royal Highness Princess~"

"Your Highness the Princess!"

The ministers and nobles turned their heads to look at the door of the main hall, and their breath stagnated.

It's beautiful.

Princess Syvanis, who wore a blue dress for the first time, completely brought out her full and perfect figure.

Under the light, the whiteness and furrows on the chest shook so much that people couldn't open their eyes.

As soon as Princess Stephenis appeared, the ladies and ladies who were scantily dressed and bewitching at the banquet were all overshadowed.

King Jaime was in a better mood.

Queen Yala complained to her daughter, "Xiwei, today is your father's birthday, why did you arrive?"

"I'm sorry for my father and queen mother, it took a little time to prepare the gifts, and in order to ensure freshness, my customized birthday cake was just ready, so it was a little late. ”

Syvernis bowed and said apologetically.

"Birthday cake, what is this?" said the queen, puzzled.

"My baby is the best gift, no need to give anything. King Jaime laughed, he knew his daughter's character, and even if he racked his brains to come up with something good, so he still didn't have to embarrass her.

"I believe you will like this gift, father!"

Severnis smiled mysteriously, slapped his palms twice, and several servants walked over with a food cart full of candles.

In the dining car, there is a tower cake with six layers, the bottom layer is 30 inches, and the top layer is only 15 inches, which is enough for hundreds of people to enjoy.

In the top layer of the cake, there are 60 candles missing.

"It's ......"

Looking at the giant cake made of various creamy fruits and chocolates in front of him, King James was slightly stunned, this is a gift from his daughter.

"Father, put on this birthday hat first. ”

Syvanes took a triangular pyramid and placed it on the crown on his father's head, and then told him to close his eyes and make a wish by candlelight.

"Happy birthday to my father~Happy birthday to my father~"

"Happy birthday to my father~Happy birthday to my father~"

In King Jaime's ear, Syvanis hummed the song "Happy Birthday to You" in a gentle and beautiful voice.

"Father, after making a wish, you can blow out these candles, which means that the wish will definitely come true, and then you can eat the cake~"

Syvanis continued to instruct, and King Jaime blew out the candle with a flushed face.

Then he took a knife and divided the cake for everyone.

Not to mention the deliciousness of the magic cake, King James was very surprised, and the ministers and nobles at the banquet were also full of praise.

"Father, do you like the gift I gave you?"

After eating the cake and dancing with her father on the dance floor, Syvines asked in her father's ear.

"Yes, my father likes it very much!"

Among all today's gifts, this birthday cake full of filial piety and love, King James is the most satisfied!

……

Two days after the King's Birthday Banquet.

The entire upper echelons of the royal capital are still discussing and relish about the birthday cake.

There were also some nobles who couldn't forget the magical taste of the cake, so they specially ordered the servants to go to the magic cake shop and buy one to taste.

Magic cakes, in particular, were in short supply, and orders were lined up for two months.

……

Duke's Palace.

Chukir Rudolph.

The head of the Rudolph family and Lilith's grandfather.

At today's family dinner, the mahogany table was placed, the old duke, tied with a napkin, holding a knife and fork, elegantly ate the cake on the plate in front of him.

The old duke was not fast, but the cake on the plate was quickly eaten clean.

"It's so delicious, it's no wonder you can forget about the outrageous price when you eat it. ”

Putting down the knife and fork and wiping his mouth with a napkin, the elderly old duke sighed.

"Delicious grandpa, grandpa, our magic cake shop has only been open for a month, and the turnover has exceeded 100,000 gold coins, most of which are profits, after the king's birthday dinner has passed, the sales of cakes have skyrocketed, and the turnover next month will definitely exceed 100,000, and the profit in a year will definitely exceed 3 million (Azeroa has 36 months a year, but a year is divided into three years, spring, summer, and winter)! Grandpa, the family's annual income is only about 10 million, right? My cake shop is equivalent to one-third of the family. ”

"Moreover, we also plan to expand the scale and open a chain of cake shops in other cities, and open cake shops in various kingdoms!

Lilith gushed that the cake shop's huge profits made her calculate every day, how much money she could make in a year, how much money could she make by opening ten or 100 stores, and finally the more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and the more she thought about it, the more prepared she was to do a big job.

Hearing his granddaughter's words, the old duke's face did not fluctuate.

Instead, he asked, "Lilith, your classmate Lemodon Reeling, the servant son of the Reelin family, did you say that he invented the cake food?"

"Yes Grandpa, that boy from Leylin is a genius!" Lilith said.

"Lilith, in the future, don't get too close to this kid, and don't cooperate with him more deeply. ”

The old duke spoke, his face becoming serious and gloomy.

Lilith was stunned, the excitement on her face quickly subsided.

"Why, Grandpa?" she was puzzled.

"Don't ask so much, you just need to listen to grandpa, for the sake of the family, don't get too close to the people of the Lei Lin family. ”

The old duke said solemnly.

"Oh, I see~"

Lilith nodded in disappointment, she was not a fool, since her grandfather had said everything like "for the good of the family", she could only listen to her grandfather.

The old duke shook his head.

muttered in his heart: The Leilin family, the most loyal lackeys of the royal family, fell three times and rose three times, do you still want to rise again?

You have offended all the old families and the whole clan has been exiled, do you still want to turn over?

No way!Leylin family, you'll never have a fourth chance!

……

Spring year, September 29.

The Brno School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is on holiday.

The holidays are about 2 months until the start of school in January of the summer year.

At this time, the magic cake shop was open for more than a month and a half, and after deducting various costs, the total profit was as much as 140,000 gold coins.

Multiply it by 30%, which means that there are 42,000 gold coins, which belong to Zhou Ming.

After the money was in hand, Zhou Ming came to the Magic Association and prepared to make a big purchase.
