There it was!
Finally!
A new door!
Hao didn't care about stepping through it himself, but the real excitement came from the possibilities that awaited.
More customers.
More sales.
And, hopefully, more loyal regulars, just like he had in Sovereign City.
He rubbed his hands together with a grin.
The more customers, the better.
Not just for the crystals, but for the variety they would bring.
After all, it wasn't just about the products - well, it was, but it was also about the people.
The different types of people who would pass through the store doors.
Would they be skeptical at first? Or would they be immediately hooked?
The thought made him smile.
It wasn't just about the sales - it was the joy of interacting with the customers.
Communicating with them, watching how they would react to his products.
Hao loved to observe them, to learn from them.
There were always those who lingered, asking questions, maybe even trying out a new product on a whim.
