Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy-Chapter 232 :Lets Get Down To Business
Chapter 232 232:Lets Get Down To Business
Calming his excited nerves, Lucas looked at the mirror and activated Insight.
Lucas was taken by surprise seeing his eyes glowing in the mirror.
His vision blurred and a series of text appeared over his vision.

"I broke through? When?" Lucas then rubbed his hair with a confused expression.
"It feels like Christmas with good news popping out here and there."
Lucas took a moment to analyse his stats and then opening the system screen, put his stat points into Magic Power and Strength.
As he closed the system interface, he noticed his golden eyes glowing.
"Will my eyes glow every time, I use keen sight? Isn't it troublesome?" Lucas clicked his tongue.
Fortunately, he had golden pupils which shone most of the time.
"If I don't cover it, I might be in trouble. Who knows if people start calling me a pervert? I need to use my aura to hide this."
Thinking for a moment, Lucas took a breath and after freshening up, dressed himself, and walked down calling Jay and James.
"Big Brother, what is it?" Jay jumped with anticipation.
"What kind of shit are you planning now?" James grumbled with a sullen expression.
Lucas just stood on his spot and glanced at Jay and James.

'Fuck!'
Lucas' eyes twitched seeing James' stats.
'Oh my God, this guy's strength and agility have degraded. To such an extent. And his stamina is even less than that of a common man.'
Seeing this, Lucas remembered mocking James that he couldn't find a girlfriend because he couldn't even last for few seconds.
James was at the peak of 1-Star but due to years of lazing and working by staying at a place, his stamina had fallen below early 1-Star. Almost equal to Jay who hadn't even awakened.
'Wouldn't he die early due to such an unhealthy lifestyle, I can't let this happen, he still has ample things to fork out from his brain.'
Facing Lucas' scrutinizing gaze James' whole body shivered in fright.
"What are you cooking now?" James asked, taking a few steps back.
"Hey, stop gawking at us."
Cough.....
"I just want you to accompany me."
"To where?"
James and Jay asked at the same time.
Lucas walked past them with a smile.
"To Skies."
"It had been a long time since I met them."
....
Two hours later...
"Oh my sweet cutie Lucas, you have grown so much. Big Sis is so proud of you."
The moment Lucas arrived at Skies Morgana pulled Lucas into her arms and started stretching his cheek.
"Wow! Your muscles have developed quite well. It seems the fruits are quite ripe." Morgana spoke mischievously while licking her lips.
Lucas almost wanted to retort back wanting to say why don't we try but he gave up at the end.
"Big Sis Morgana, can you stop teasing me like this? Aaron's heart might be broken."
"Hmmm! Don't talk about this bald brown donkey who knows nothing about romance. You are much better than him." Morgana snorted.
Pfft!
Aaron who was taking a sip of coffee spurted it out giving Lucas a bewildered look.
'Fuck, Lucas why are you pulling me into seizing fire?'
Morgana who was checking over on Lucas turned to Jay startling him.
"Oh my cutie pie, you are still here. Come and hug this beautiful Sister."
"Brother Lucas, save me." Jay ran towards Lucas to use him as a shield but Lucas jumped aside betraying Jay's hope.
After molesting Lucas, she jumped over Jay and started molesting him who tried to get out of Morgana's claws however failing miserably he could only allow his cheeks to be pulled by Morgana's pincers.
"Hmmmmm!"
The joyful atmosphere was interrupted by a grumbling cough.
"Tsk! Do you have a problem seeing others happy?"
Aaron glanced at Morgana from the side who took away Jay and left the room.
The entire atmosphere became solemn.
Lucas stared at the rotten expression of Reynold spewing flames at Lucas.
Reynold put down his specks which showed his hollow sunken eye and along with his haggard black hair, it made him look like a guy suffering from malnutrition.
"Let's get down to business."Lucas muttered.
"So, you finally remembered that you have a business group to attend and you are the Boss of the group."
"Hey, don't be harsh. He had things to do in the Academy." Aaron pleaded for Lucas' sake while signalling Lucas to keep quiet and that he would handle this matter.
Lucas under Reynold's gaze, took a seat and shrugged his shoulders.
"It's not as if I am free like you. I need to work to get stronger, unlike certain someone." Lucas chuckled.
Reynold stared at Lucas sharply trying to intimidate him but found that unlike before where Lucas would flinch back, this time Lucas was staring straight into his eyes with a heart-chilling smile that frightened him.
"You have surely grown up." Reynold raised his brows.
"Still, I fall short when compared to you, Reynold.You really hide yourself too deeply." Lucas rebuked Reynold, making him frown.
At that time, Lucas used his Insight skills.
===============
Name: Reynolds
Species: Human
Bloodline Grade:None
Realm: None
Combat Ability: D
Strength: 4-Star-
Agility: 3-Star-
Stamina: 4-Star
Perception: 4-Star
Magic Power: None
===============
Though Lucas still maintained the smile, he was shocked inside.
'What the hell is this?'
Many question marks appeared over his forehead seeing Reynold who he thought to be a normal man turn out to be a 4-Star warrior but what startled him the most was the absence of magical power which meant that Reynolds couldn't use mana.
Due to the absence of mana, unless Reynold fights it is difficult to know his strength.
'This is fucking absurd. Is he a mutant or an experimented human who ran away from a lab?'
Though Lucas wanted to ask about this, he refrained from doing so now in order not to touch Reynold's sore spot.
Aaron who stood at the side saw the tension rising to the point where he could see invisible sparks flickering in the air.
"Both of you calm down. Why do you two always quarrel when you meet?"
Reynold and Lucas stared at Aaron for a moment intensely making him panic.
"I need to do this so that he can develop some sense of what he is dealing with. He can't use the excuse of being too young or being in an academy to avert his work. In history, some Kings had to govern the state at the age of 12 or 13." Reynold answered sharply.
"Brother Aaron, it's a test by Reynold to know how much I have grown in terms of charisma. There is nothing serious." Lucas answered while observing Aaron with Insight.
===============
Name: Aaron Befort
Species: Human
Bloodline Grade: Silver
Realm: 6-Star+
Combat Ability: B
Strength: 7-Star-
Agility: 5-Star-
Stamina: 6-Star+
Perception: 6-Star-
Magic Power: 6-Star- 𝓯𝙧𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝙢
===============
Lucas' eyes brightened noticing Aaron's stat.
Even with the silver bloodline reaching the peak of 6-Star and on the verge of breaking through to 7-Star was a testament to the amount of effort Aaron had put in and the arduous journey he ventured.
If not for the Silver bloodline, Aaron might have already reached 7-Star.
Seeing those stats, Lucas' mind started running formulating a new plan.
Lucas then spoke with a sigh,"Can we begin?"
"Yeah, take a look at this." Reynold pulled out a folder and handed it to Lucas who started to read it carefully.
A brief silence lingered for a moment as Lucas went through the document carefully observing each page with utmost concentration.
After 10 minutes Lucas successfully skimmed through the pages.
"1-Star at 2k, 2-Star at 5k, 3-Star 20k, 4-Star at 50k.The price is good compared to the 4-Star metallic armour sold at 500k. Just do one thing, cut one 1R from each and make the price end at 9 like 1999, 4999 etc."
"Hmmm! That's a good choice." Reynold nodded with satisfaction as he knew that this price had a psychological effect.
"So, at present, we have managed to open 14 shops out of which 4 are in the capital."
Putting it down, Lucas asked,"Do you think it's enough?"
"More than enough for now." Reynold answered and started to explain,"First thing, we need to see people's reactions to it and since we are a bit short on budget and want to avert nobles' attention during the first few months, we hadn't advertised it over TV or made ads."
"We have opened our store across 5 territories including Capital Ivane, along with Frost and Warren territory. Though we aren't going to face any resistance, the other greedy nobles on hearing this wouldn't let this matter go easily. Hungry hyenas are more difficult to deal with." Lucas briefed.
"I agree. Now, moving on to the next thing. The company would be operating under the name Salus. Skies would have 10% of the share with Reynolds acting as the CEO and Brother Aaron as the president. Skies will be responsible for handling security and procuring staff."
Lucas, who still had 70% of Salus's share, didn't think 10% was much and with a Mana contract in play, all of them are already in his hands.
Reynold and Aaron had invested in this which saved him around a few millions as buying land and building stores in Capital costs a lot.
There is also a clause in which the moment they plan to harm him, they will suffer retribution.
Similarly, Lucas couldn't do anything to harm them.
Aaron on hearing about being the President gave a wry smile.
"You two put me into that position to act as your dummy."
"The other branch is God's Elixir which is responsible for potions at a price 20% lower than the market." Lucas tapped his finger pondering for a moment.
Unlike Salus, which can easily attract people due to its low-efficiency price, God's Elixir needed something to bolster its sales.
God's Elixir's main selling point is the Calming potion made by Linda along with the degraded version of Super Sensory Potions which was bound to be a hot sale.
Moreover, the potions from the system had 100% purity compared to the market where the top alchemists can refine potions with up to 70% efficiency. For now, Linda is at 55% but she will become better.
Creating a potion of higher efficiency might be a problem but lowering it isn't.
"We need a boost in this department. I have got treasure during my visit to Church.'' Lucas with a sinister smile took out 5 potions.
"These 5 Intermediate Healing Potions have 75-80/% efficiency. Sell it in an auction house for us to gain momentum."
"What?''
Reynolds and Aaron jumped out of their seats with a flabbergasted look as Lucas' words struck like thunder in their ears.
