Chapter 226: The Right Fit is the Best

  Watg adventurers rush into the shop, eagerly spending their gold.

  Two hundred "Ruins Adves" quickly sold out.

  Vilge Elder Field hurriedly sent a unicatioo Ralph, the steward of Bay Town:

  "All sold out, hurry aock!"

  When Ralph received the message, he was skeptical, but after firming several times, he quickly agreed.

  Ralph rushed to Bay Territory’s factory district.

  Ihe "Ruins Adve" roduced in Bay Territory's factories, not in Matthew's are b.

  Ralph found the produanager as quickly as possible.

  He urged them to speed up produ and ordered them to expand the scale.

  Ralph was excited because the "Ruins Adve" was highly profitable!

  Though Bay Territory earned plenty from the "Vitality Potion," its revenue was too depe on it, creating financial instability.

  If the "Ruins Adve" became another pilr product, Bay Territory's growth would accelerate.

  Ralph urged the factory to ramp up produ and said to the manager:

  "Whatever you need, just ask—fully staff the produ line..."

  After firming that produ was on track, Ralph hurried back to the Lord's Manor and knocked on the door of Matthew's dining room.

  A rich aroma greeted him.

  Seeing the table full of food, Ralph felt his stomach rumbling.

  "The high-end chefs the lord hired from Farsico are truly living up to their reputation!"

  With this thought in mind, Ralph eagerly reported the sales situation of the "Ruins Adve" to Matthew, then anxiously added:

  "Lord, with the kit being so popur, won’t others try to copy it?"

  Ralph’s was valid. In the face of profit, not even cooperative noble families could be trusted.

  Eveheril Empire and their honorable ally, the Cole Elven Kingdom, once cshed over the Loken Mine’s underground veins.

  If the "Ruins Adve" sold well, many nobles of Blood Moon City, and even the Carlisle family, might step in without hesitation.

  Matthew uood Ralph’s , smiled, and invited him to sit down. After giving Yaya half of a bck fish, he casually said:

  "The 'Ruins Adve' isn’t easy to copy. I improved it based on the Blood Moon City lord’s designs..."

  Mentioning the lord of Blood Moon City, Ralph immediately remembered the magical items Mattheurchased retly.

  "Ah, now I see why the lord spent so mu those seemingly fshy magical items."

  As if reading Ralph’s thoughts, Matthew pulled two rods from his ste belt.

  One was the miion rod.

  The other was a thick rod, nearly two meters long.

  Covered in intricate runes and made of peachwood, known for its excellent mana ductivity, it looked sturdy enough to be a on.

  Matthew id them out and carefully expined:

  "This rger dete rod has a plex structure. The lord of Blood Moon City solidified 'Dete' and 'Trag' spells into it."

  "She cleverly bihem so that both spells trigger simultaneously, creating a 1+1>2 effect."

  "Oivated, it automatically detect targets within a 200-meter radius."

  Ralph, familiar with magical tools, ied the rge rod but couldn’t uand the runes or mana pathways.

  Seeing Ralph’s fusion, Matthew poio the rge dete rod and tinued:

  "As you see, the lord's methods are ingenious, and her are knowledge is profound. Even I couldn’t biwo spells so perfectly."

  "So why didn’t su effective dete rod sell?"

  Hearing this, Ralph thought carefully while examining the rod.

  He frowned slightly, then looked at the smaller dete rod and suddenly realized, exg:

  "Is it the cost?"

  "The first-tier 'Dete' spell isn’t plicated, but the fourth-tier 'Trag' spell is expensive..."

  "The lord's skill allowed her to bihem, but it must have required many rare materials..."

  "And while the dete rod is effective, the materials make it far too costly!"

  "Adventurers, the main buyers, simply ’t afford it!"

  Matthew nodded in approval, tapping the dete rod as a pale blue mana structure diagram appeared in the air.

  Ralph marveled at Matthew’s dispy, increasingly awed by his lord’s capabilities.

  This was fantastiews!

  Yaya, curiously gng at the plex spell model, quickly shook her head and happily returo her roasted chi.

  Eating was most important!

  Matthew then expio Ralph:

  "High-quality peachwood costs 2 gold s on the market."

  "Enting a first-tier spell costs 1 gold, solidifying it costs anold."

  "Enting a fourth-tier spell costs 100 gold, solidifying it costs 150 gold."

  "Carving runes costs 3 gold, and the spell’s energy ption costs 5 gold!"

  "With a 50% produ success rate, this naturally increases the cost."

  "The base cost alone is nearly 600 gold s!"

  "Including the creator’s iment and a markup for profit, the sale price must be at least 1000 gold s!"

  "And that’s not all—recharging the rod costs at least 3 gold each time."

  "The fourth-tier spell activation limits it to mid-tier adventurers her."

  "With all these limitations, it’s no wohe dete rod didn’t sell..."

  Matthew’s detailed analysis made Ralph realize many things.

  He now uood the importance of Bay Territory’s tralized factory yout.

  The lord’s emphasis on innovation, streamlining produ, and high rewards for cost-saving ideas and teiques.

  The focus wasn’t on expanding produ quickly but on cultivating skilled workers.

  Matthew patted Ralph’s shoulder and fidently picked up the miion rod, saying:

  "The miion rod I modified costs only 2 gold to produce. Even with just ohird the effectiveness of the rger rod, it bridges the price gap by hundreds of times."

  "For most adventurers, this is a price they easily afford!"

  "The right product is always the best product!"
