The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Not only the products being sold.

Even the marketing language and tactics were copied verbatim from the skeletons of Beifeng City.

To be honest, even he, who often traveled around, was greatly shocked the first time he saw it, let alone the citizens of Thunder City, whose experiences were not as broad.

"Lighter?" The stooge he invited, twirling the mustache below his nose, mused with interest, "Sounds interesting... Maybe I can equip my sailors on those dozen ships with it."

"You're the captain?!" Socduo's face displayed an "astonished" expression.

"I'm not the captain, but I own a fleet shuttling between the colonies and Thunder City's port. I've been worrying about the inconvenience of lighting fires in the damp environment on the ship, and never expected this problem to be solved so easily." The man in the bowler hat spoke with a smile, as if he really solved a big problem.

And the citizens surrounding them, upon hearing of his identity, all showed faces of admiration and envy.

In Thunder City, captains are already seen as the most decent profession by common folks, not to mention being a big boss owning many ships.

Their wealth even makes true nobles envious, let alone common folks; seeing them, all they can do is to flatter.

However, most people can't manage to flatter them; they can only feel envious or jealous, or go to great lengths to imitate their decency.

This situation is not common outside Thunder City, but in the economically prosperous Thunder City, it is an ordinary sight.

"I didn't expect you to be the captain of a dozen ships, truly an honor!" Socduo displayed a warm expression, then pivoted the conversation, "Then your time must be very valuable! Considering your status, allow me to specially recommend this product to you!"

As he spoke, he took out a leather wristband from his pocket.

The wristband was just the thickness of an adult's arm, with a clasp to adjust the tightness, and in the center was a jet-black slate.

The man in the bowler hat raised his eyebrows, adjusted the monocle on his nose, and rubbed his chin as he leaned in for a closer look.

"What is this?"

Socduo immediately responded.

"Magic Crystal Watch! Unlike ordinary watches, it has no hands but directly displays numbers instead!"

He fiddled with the button on the side of the watch, demonstrating the use of the thing to the people in front of him.

With his index finger pressed down, a line of figures formed by faint twinkling dots indeed appeared on the smooth crystal surface.

The crowd looked on, amazed, as if witnessing a miracle descended by Saint Sis personally!

"This, this is incredible!"

"Is it magic?!"

A chorus of exclamations spread around, as people exchanged astonished glances, faces full of disbelief.

"I felt a faint magical power fluctuation, but not very strong... not much different from those magic-powered automatic winding watches."

A magic apprentice, who seemed to be an adventurer, closed his eyes tightly, attempting to sense the barely perceptible magical fluctuations and analyze the principles from the faint clues.

Unfortunately, he could only discern that it was the engraving at work and was completely at a loss for deeper details.

The way the magic operated here already exceeded his comprehension, even overturning his understanding of engravings, to the extent that his gaze at the merchant carried a hint of peculiarity.

"How could this be done?!"

"Sorry, I'm just a traveling merchant; I also bought it from someone else." Socduo smiled apologetically at the man dressed as a mage.

He didn't really understand it either, just heard from the skeleton soldiers of the Great Graveyard that it seemed to utilize something called Netherworld Language and Magic Crystal Powder imaging technology.

Currently, this technology is still immature, only displaying a few sparse numbers and characters, and the quality is rather unstable.

However, that guy named [One Mouthful of Chemical Pool] seemed to be very ambitious about this technology, saying a whole bunch of things he didn't understand about revolutionizing the media industry and changing the world... which got even someone like him, who didn't understand, all fired up.

Thinking of this, Socduo couldn't help but feel a pang of regret; it's a pity that guy is undead and couldn't stand here to sell for him.

Otherwise, with that guy's eloquence, he wouldn't even need to arrange actors to perform this clumsy circus act to sell out the things in his caravan!

The man in the bowler hat happily accepted the watch and couldn't wait to strap it on, even raising his hand above his head to show it off.

"Nice, nice... I really like this thing! How much is it?"

Coming to his senses, a broad smile immediately spread across Socduo's face, speaking eagerly.

"This one is a bit more expensive than the lighter, going for 500 silver coins—"

"Five hundred?! Such a convenient watch for just five hundred silver coins?! That's too worth it!" The man in the hat displayed an exaggerated expression, quickly pulling out five Aus Empire gold coins and tossed them onto the stall, then joyfully wore it on his wrist.

Honestly, this watch does quite match his outfit, after all, Socduo had put in some effort in selecting actors and performance props.

Seeing those five glittering gold coins, the surrounding people were astounded by this lord's generosity, and the gaze towards the dazzling array of products at the Socduo Commerce's stall was instantly transformed.

If previously they just thought those were some bizarre novelties, now these novelties have become symbols of fashion and trend in their eyes!

Even a rich man with a dozen ships spoke highly of them, so how could the things here be bad?

Although most people gathered here couldn't afford the watch, they could still afford the lighter, which was only 20 silver coins each.

Not just the lighter.

There were also things like magic crystal lamps, nail clippers, sound recording boxes, shower gel, even flush toilets and flip-flops, which regardless of necessity, were snatched up in the frenzied atmosphere.

Fortunately, the citizens of Thunder City were still too young, having never experienced the baptism of the internet, with not a single person questioning why such a wealthy guy would appear in a marketplace like this with them.

But be that as it may, Socduo wasn't originally out for the money of smart people.

Moreover, he wasn't selling fake products.

He believed that with the quality of these goods, it was only a matter of time before he opened the market in Thunder City, but using unconventional means would just make things happen faster.

Time is money.

If it could be faster, he naturally had no reason to drag it out.

Gazing at the emptied stalls, Socduo was brimming with joy, unable to keep his mouth closed from smiling.

Perhaps soon, he could really establish a fleet, selling the great finds he acquired from Beifeng City to far-off places.

Especially to the Aus Empire's mainland!

There lies the truly expansive market!

Just as Socduo was imagining a bright future, he suddenly spotted a familiar face amidst the crowd, making him shudder.

As he looked over carefully to confirm he wasn't mistaken, that person had already disappeared, seemingly swallowed by the surging crowd.

"...Is it an illusion?" Socduo mumbled, lowering his head.

Savior Saint Sis above...

He actually saw the Demon King among the crowd just now!?

Secretly adding "Praise Lord Demon King" in his heart, Socduo decided to stop overthinking it and set the matter aside.

The Demon King appearing in a human city...

Such a thing, no matter how you think about it, was too far-fetched!
