However, the introduction was not very effective; basically, they would wholesale some magic goods from their native territory and sell them at a higher price.
Having people from outside open shops in their territory was not appealing, and even those who came sent magic goods of lower quality. It was known that many were outdated products.
In terms of price and quality, there was a mismatch.
Many residents in the territory were unwilling to spend that kind of money.
It resulted in a vicious cycle, with the spread of magic shops in their territory slowing even more.
But in Hope Village, seeing one magic shop after another truly dazzled them.
"Are all these shops opened by residents of Hope Village?" Guo Yunxiu couldn't help but ask.
What attracted them to Hope Village?
"Mostly, but not all; technically, they are," Xu Xiuwei explained, "because the shops in Hope Village are only rented to residents. To open a shop here, one must be a resident of Hope Village."
