Mixed Blessing System

The second day after the 11 Ritter Motor Company cars left the factory...

After much buzz with the emergence of the first independent animal-powered vehicles, many people in Peters City moved to the opening day of the Ritter Motor Company factory.

Rumors had already spread about the location of such a store throughout the city and the possibility that anyone with coins could order their car.

Some of the best carriage salesmen only sold their items to chosen customers. In other words, it was not enough to have coins!

But Lothur would not distinguish where the coins paying for his vehicles would come from, so anyone could secure a vehicle for themselves!

With these circumstances, early in the day, in front of the Ritter Motor Company store, a crowd of over 3,000 people was already on the side streets, waiting for it to open.

The store in question, located in the central part of Peters City, had a floor area of 1,000 square meters, much larger than it would need to display four cars.

But the Ritter Motor Company store would soon be selling other types of vehicles, so naturally, it needed considerable space.

However, even considering the vehicles to be launched, this place would also be where car owners could bring their properties for periodic maintenance and repairs. So there was a large workshop at the back of the store, a place that was still enclosed and without many employees but already ready to operate.

In any case, the factory store was a tall building, 5 meters high, with only one floor and a facade covered mainly by glass that could be seen through.

Because of this, while the crowd was outside the bars of that store, everyone could see the four cars available inside the sales hall.

That was making some individuals' hearts beat faster, with them wanting to place their orders and then receive their cars.

Amid this, Lothur and his associates arrived at the front of the store in their 11 cars, slowly making their way through the crowd as local guards cleared the way for them.

The employees at the store immediately opened the entrance gate, allowing the convoy to pass through, making the crowd even louder.

"Finally! They're finally opening the store!" A nobleman from the Waldeaur family shouted to his families and friends standing in line to buy his car.

The employees of the store and the local guards had already been organizing the place since early morning. As such, there was a line to enter the store to avoid a riot and keep the situation orderly.

Since the local guards were participating in this and this was Lothur's store, everyone had obeyed the recommendations and stood in line without trying to get in front of other people.

Even people from the Duke of Province's family were there!

The Duke was going to buy vehicles for his family. Still, the cultivators who were members of House Waldeaur had their freedoms and their resources. So many of them wanted to buy their cars so as not to depend on those vehicles that would be shared among all.

Even though Chris was in August's car with this man's associates, many wealthy members of the Waldeaur family were there.

The same was true even for the other local noble houses!

In that line, people from the Becker family, Frost, Christen, and Koch, Lothur's associates, were there to get their cars, even if their families would buy vehicles for everyday use.

But also, there were the leaders of the Frohberg, Klassen, and Sommer families, who were not associates of Lothur but had given up their position against him after the incident with the two Transcendents.

They and many members of their families were there to shop!

"Patriarch, what car do you intend to buy for yourself?" A level 14 elder asked the level 15 individual in front of him.

"I liked the pick-up model the best. It suits me a lot." The Klassen patriarch said this while continuing to look ahead, where ten people stood in his way.

Among those ten people, a man at level 15, but wearing something to cover his cultivation from the others, dressed in a hood that hid his face, was near the beginning of the line waiting nervously.

'I hope no one will stop me from getting a car...' The patriarch of House Vogel, still Lothur's enemy, thought as he waited his turn.

He was Lothur's enemy, but he wanted to buy some cars for his family!

But little did he know that Lothur didn't give a damn.

Did this person want to buy cars and make a profit for him?

This patriarch wanted to become dependent on the Ritter Motor Company to pay for maintenance, repairs, driving school, and more?

Great!

More profit for Lothur!

With that, young Ritter, along with his associates and family, soon opened the factory store, inaugurating this organization that would shock Concordia in no time!

As soon as the various gates for people to enter opened, the line began to move. Still, only 100 people at a time would enter that facility.

Anyway, upon entering the presentation hall, those many noble and wealthy locals were confronted with the four vehicles on display and their prices.

To their surprise, cars were cheaper than carriages!

A car was more expensive than a carriage without the animals or beasts that would be the driving force. But there would be no use for such a thing without something to pull it. So when considering the price of carriages plus animals or beasts, cars were cheaper!

[Hatch: 64,999 bronze coins]

[Sedan: 69,999 bronze coins]

[SUV: 74,999 bronze coins]

[Pick-up: 79.999 bronze coins]

The first individuals to enter the store faced the prices of the vehicles written on their windshields, most smiling in satisfaction.

"Haha, the price is kind of not bad!" Chris said this as he stood by the side of the gray pick-up there.

He had entered the store along with the first customers, so he was quite pleased as someone who didn't know about the prices of the vehicles yet.

"How do I order some cars?" The Duke asked before one of the several employees there approached him.

"Duke of the Province, please come with me. I will collect your data and initiate the purchase order." A beautiful, mortal woman said this.

"How is that?" That Transcendent asked.

She replied. "We will make a record to make it easier for the Duke to come to the store in the future... Also, some details on the cars may vary depending on the buyer's choice. So we'll have a little chat to sort that out."

"Oh, that sounds interesting..."

"But how many cars would the Duke be interested in ordering today?"

"About 20. I want 4 of each model..." He said while several other people did the same thing as him.

With that, within moments of opening, soon over 100 cars had been ordered!
