So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests-Chapter 273 : Explosive Sales

Chapter 273: Explosive Sales
In the days that followed, Janna added another routine activity to her schedule besides attending classes, working, and reading at the library—rescuing trees in the Misty Forest at night.
As time passed, Janna’s ability to control mana threads became increasingly proficient.
From just a few threads at the beginning, she advanced to dozens after obtaining the Witch Talent 【Precise Control】.
Now, through nightly intensive practice, Janna had reached the point where she could manipulate over a hundred mana threads simultaneously for pollution removal, greatly improving the efficiency of purification.
It was for this reason that her pace in healing trees increased from one tree a day to two or three.
At this rate, by the end of the year, Janna would likely complete the treatment of five hundred trees, fulfilling the requirements of the 【Main Quest】.
At first, Janna thought this task would eventually become a monotonous, mechanical repetition.
However, as the number of successfully healed trees increased, she not only did not feel bored or annoyed but instead gained a profound, indescribable insight into life.
It was a transformation of emotion, from death to life, from sorrow to joy.
As more and more trees expressed their gratitude toward Janna due to her treatment, their love for life and the joy of resurrection deeply moved her.
At the same time, it further deepened Janna’s connection with the 【Growth Law Fragment】.
Even though the comprehension progress shown on Janna’s character interface for the 【Growth Law Fragment】 still remained at 0%, she could genuinely feel that her mastery over it had become significantly more effortless compared to the beginning.
"Julie, is everything you said really true?"
At that moment, in the first-floor lounge of the Nightingale Opera Troupe, Janna, who had just finished performing "Song of the Ocean," glanced toward a color-printed sales filled with the scent of graphite while removing her makeup.
"Of course. Data doesn’t lie."
The in front of Janna was a sales summary for the "Song of the Ocean" cassette across various regions.
The tape included ten songs, with the featured track being the "Song of Sacrifice" performed by 【Olivia】 during her final offering.
Janna originally thought it would take a long production cycle before the cassette could be officially released.
However, to her surprise, within just a few weeks, the tape had already hit the market—and its sales momentum looked quite promising.
"Lower District?"
Looking at the regional distribution in the , Janna was surprised to find that the highest sales came from the Lower District.
"Yeah, I heard from Director David that the nobles in the Lower District are really fond of the 'Song of Sacrifice.'"
Having grown up in the Lower District and struggled there for many years, Julie-Anne knew all too well how fervently the nobles admired everything related to witches.
Whether it was witch attire or accessories, they were willing to pay high prices to obtain them.
So the cassette selling well in the Lower District didn’t come as a surprise to Julie-Anne.
What puzzled her, though, was why commoners in the Lower District were also so eager to buy the cassette.
Normally, the price of such a recording would be quite high—even middle-class families with a phonograph might not have the spare money to buy it.
"Julie, do you know the difference between the basic edition and the deluxe edition?"
Julie-Anne, who had been helping Janna remove her makeup, tilted her head in confusion at the sudden question.
"David and the others are smarter than I thought. They actually understood how to lower the specs of a product to define their target customers."
"Julie-Anne: ?"
Hearing Janna’s explanation, Julie-Anne was still confused.
But when she looked at the sales breakdown in the later pages of the , she suddenly understood what Janna meant.
"So the best-selling version in the Lower District is the basic edition——
The basic edition was just the cassette alone; the deluxe edition, in contrast, included the cassette plus a set of exquisite gifts.
The price of the basic edition was less than a single Silver Surels; while the deluxe edition cost about a Gold Surels.
In the sales , ninety percent of the sales in the Lower District came from the basic edition.
"Can they even make a profit like this?"
Looking at the price of the "basic edition" in the , Julie-Anne asked curiously.
"When a product sells in high enough volume, its cost and expenses become thinly spread. Especially something like a cassette, which doesn’t have a high production cost to begin with. Judging by the sales momentum, they probably broke even long ago—"
Listening to Janna’s explanation, Julie-Anne, who had now caught up with the discussion, nodded in agreement.
"I never knew Director David and Director Clann were so business-minded."
At her question, Janna only smiled without replying.
Considering David-Berg and Clann-Roland were both artists with little business experience, it was unlikely this relatively sophisticated sales strategy was their own idea.
Most likely, the entire sales plan had been orchestrated by a partner company they had enlisted.
Janna’s deduction wasn’t baseless. After all, every page of the she held bore a faint Golden Lily watermark in the bottom right corner.
From that detail alone, Janna could pretty much guess that David-Berg and Clann-Roland had partnered with a company under the Golden Lily Auction House.
"No wonder the sales channels were rolled out so broadly in such a short time. If it’s Golden Lily, that explains it."
Knock knock knock—
Just as Janna was about to continue examining the data, a knock at the door drew her attention away.
"It’s you, Winnie. What is it?"
Seeing it was Winnie, the coachman who usually drove Janna’s carriage, Julie-Anne casually asked while helping remove Janna’s headpiece.
"There’s a letter from the Golden Lily Auction House, addressed specifically to Miss Janna."
"For me?"
Janna took the pale purple envelope from Winnie.
"It’s from Sophina."
Seeing the silver moon symbol in the bottom right corner, Janna quickly recognized the sender.
"Dear Miss Janna, greetings.
It’s been a long time. I’ve missed you greatly.
Since our hasty farewell last time, there’s been no opportunity to meet again.
Next Saturday at 7 PM, I would like to hold a private banquet in the 'Floral Rendezvous' suite on the second floor of Emerald String.
I sincerely hope you can attend.
Sophina-Silvermoon & Witch Sect"
The contents of the letter were quite ordinary—just a simple banquet invitation. But when Janna saw the signature at the end, her gaze sharpened slightly.
"Witch Sect?"
