Building A Business Empire From Scratch In Another World-Chapter 207: The First Launch

As the sun rose over the vibrant Capital, its golden rays spilled across the sprawling districts, igniting excitement in every corner.

Long before dawn broke, the streets hummed with anticipation,news had spread like wildfire: The Morningstar Group was unveiling a new product!

Earlier when the bicycles were introduced a lot of people already recognised the Morningstar Group as business of innovation.

From the grand boulevards of Silverlane to the bustling market alleys of Dawnreach, throngs of people surged forward.

Carriages rattled by as commoners, merchants, and even curious nobles flocked toward the gleaming new storefronts that promised a glimpse into a brighter future.

Each shop proudly displayed the Morningstar Group insignia,a radiant golden surrounded by sixteen pair of white wings etched above tall glass doors framed in elegant white marble.

Inside, rows of immaculate displays showcased sleek metal devices that sparkled under magical light.

At the heart of each store stood Morningstar employees clad in crisp black and gold uniforms, their practiced smiles betraying only a hint of exhaustion from days spent preparing for this momentous occasion.

Outside one store in the bustling Wulleamp District, an eager crowd,over two hundred strong,stretched all the way to the street corner.

"Make way, please! Everyone will get a turn!" called out a young clerk, his voice trembling with both nerves and excitement.

"What's that shiny thing?" an older man pointed at a polished silver object on display.

"That," said the clerk with pride swelling in his chest, "is the Stormheart Blender!" He pressed his hand against it; it emitted a soft hum that piqued curiosity.

The crowd murmured skeptically.

"A blender? What does it blend?" asked a woman with crossed arms.

With a grin that could light up even the cloudiest day, he replied, "Allow me to show you!"

He tossed several fruits into its container and sealed it shut before tapping a rune at its base.

The device whirred to life,glowing softly blue as blades spun at incredible speed. In mere moments, fresh juice poured forth!

Gasps erupted from onlookers.

A child tugged at his mother's sleeve. "Ma! It's magic!"

The clerk chuckled lightly. "Not quite! It runs on this."

He held up a tiny rod pulsing gently with energy,a Mana Crystal Battery! "Think of it like a heart powering our products."

He slid open a hatch at the base of the blender and inserted the glowing rod with ease while curious faces leaned closer.

"So… no fire or wind magic needed?" another woman asked cautiously.

"Exactly!" he beamed wider than ever. "Just insert this Mana Crystal Battery and it'll run for an entire month before needing replacement."

A hand shot up from within the crowd. "What if it runs out?"

"Simple," the clerk replied, tapping the counter where small boxes of glowing rods were stacked neatly.

"You can buy a fresh set from any Morningstar store. Each pack has three batteries and costs only ten silver coins."

A wave of approval rippled through the crowd, excitement palpable in the air.

As we ventured further into the store, another employee stood proudly beside a stunning crimson device known as the Emberheart Stove.

With a flourish, he waved for attention and tapped a rune on its side.

In an instant, the stove sprang to life, radiating gentle warmth without smoke or flame.

"See?" he announced with pride. "No firewood, no ashes..just perfect heat control!"

A woman cradling a toddler gasped in disbelief. "Wait! You mean I won't have to scrub soot off my walls anymore?"

"Exactly, madam!" The employee beamed back at her. "And it only uses one Mana Crystal Battery every two weeks!"

From somewhere in the crowd came a curious voice: "How much for that beauty?"

"It depends on which version you choose," the clerk explained enthusiastically.

"We've got three models..low, mid, and high. The low-tier version is just sixty gold coins, ideal for everyday families! The mid-tier model features added safety runes and decorative plating for one hundred gold coins. And then there's our high-tier models, crafted from phoenix-lined metal and adorned with custom finishes..that'll set you back six hundred gold."

The reaction was immediate.

"Six hundred?!" exclaimed one man incredulously. "That's fit for nobility!"

"Maybe," chuckled the clerk with a grin. "But it also makes your meals taste like they were prepared at a royal banquet!"

Across the capital, similar scenes unfolded in every district.

The Frostborne Vault,a magical refrigerator that kept meat fresh for weeks without ice, drew huge crowds of astonished housewives and tavern owners alike.

Meanwhile, laundry workers gathered around the Tideweave Spinner, spellbound by its ability to dry clothes in mere minutes.

Questions poured in nonstop:

"How heavy are they?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Do they work when it rains?"

"Can I use them in my bakery?"

The Morningstar clerks handled each inquiry with patience and enthusiasm, demonstrating their products over and over again.

And then came the moment everyone had been waiting for…

---

"Alright! The store is officially open!" cried one of the clerks as eager buyers surged inside.

Coins clinked cheerfully together, papers rustled excitedly, and laughter filled every corner of the shop.

The low-tier devices flew off shelves within hours; customers marveled at their affordability and simplicity,the promise of making life easier was irresistible!

Some left grinning like children clutching new toys packed safely in boxes.

As the bustling crowd surged through the store, the upper floor hosted a quieter yet equally captivating kind of frenzy.

A group of minor nobles stood before high-tier models encased in glass,each one a masterpiece adorned with intricate gold filigree and glowing softly with enchanting mana patterns, all personally signed by Felix himself.

One noble scoffed loudly, "Ha! Just commoners' trinkets dressed in silk."

But when the clerk activated the stunning Frostborne Vault, its runes ignited in a brilliant frost-blue glow that chilled the air instantly.

Suddenly, his laughter faltered.

Another noble leaned in closer, eyes wide with wonder. "It's… beautiful."

Clearing his throat awkwardly, the first man stammered, "Ahem. Well… perhaps I could consider a smaller one for my mansion."

Just like that, envy replaced disdain. Orders were placed, deposits signed,like wildfire spreading through noble circles, the Morningstar emblem became a symbol of refinement and prestige.

Meanwhile, outside near one of the flagship stores stood Nixie, her vibrant pink hair bouncing as she navigated through throngs of customers with her trademark enthusiasm.

That is until she encountered a haughty noblewoman draped in an extravagant frilly white dress adorned with pearls and sporting a nose so high it seemed ready to scrape the ceiling.

"I'll take that one," declared the noblewoman imperiously while pointing at the exquisite Emberheart Stove.

Nixie clapped her hands excitedly. "Excellent choice, madam! That model costs..."

"Five hundred gold? Yes yes. I'll give you four hundred," interrupted the noblewoman dismissively as she waved her jeweled hand.

Nixie blinked in disbelief. "Four hundred? No madam, it's fixed pricing..."

"Four hundred and a royal favor," she added smugly while flipping her hair over her shoulder.

Nixie tilted her head curiously. "Can I use that royal favor to buy food?"

The noble frowned in confusion. "Do you know who I am?"

With a sweet smile plastered on her face, Nixie replied cheerfully, "Nope! But if you tell me your name, maybe I can still charge you extra!"

Gasps erupted from nearby clerks as crimson crept into the noblewoman's cheeks. "How dare you!"

"I'm sorry," Nixie said quickly, raising her hands defensively. "But I don't do discounts, unless you're the King himself."

"Unbelievable!" huffed the flustered noblewoman as she stormed off.

Yet laughter bubbled up among other customers; even clerks struggled to suppress their grins.

Clair emerged from behind the counter and whispered urgently to Nixie, "I told you to handle nobles delicately!"

"I did!" Nixie protested, her voice a mix of indignation and determination. "I delicately refused her offer!"

As the hours slipped by, the sun climbed higher in the sky, casting a warm golden hue over the bustling city below.

By evening, the numbers from Day One were nothing short of astonishing,thousands of units sold, lines of eager new customers stretching around corners, and half the city buzzing with excitement about the wonders brought forth by the Morningstar Group.

From his top-floor office, Felix stood gazing out the window, captivated by the vibrant flow of life outside.

The sunset painted everything in shades of gold as banners adorned with the Morningstar emblem danced gently in the breeze.

From this height, it felt as if the entire city was aglow with possibility.

Clair entered quietly behind him, clipboard in hand.

"Family Head," she said with enthusiasm, "sales have exceeded our expectations! The low-tier models are nearly sold out across all districts."

Felix turned to her, a rare smile breaking through his typically stoic demeanor. "That's fantastic news! Keep production steady and ensure our customer support teams are fully staffed. I want every single inquiry handled flawlessly."

"Absolutely," Clara replied with confidence before stepping out to tackle her next task.

Once alone again, Felix returned his gaze to the lively streets below.

The sounds of laughter mingled with merchants calling out their wares and coins clinking together,a delightful symphony that celebrated success.

He closed his eyes for a moment and whispered to himself, "This is just the beginning."

Outside, he caught a glimpse of the moon's faint reflection shimmering on the glass beside him,its soft light echoing how the Morningstar insignia glowed softly against dusk's embrace.

That day marked a turning point for Avalonia, a transformation ignited by ambition and innovation.

Felix understood that this was merely the first spark in what promised to be an extraordinary journey ahead.
