Chương 6: Chapter 006: New Strategies
"Hello, boss."
"So what exactly is this Devil Fruit you have here?"
"Huh!? Can these things actually be eaten? Don't joke around!"

After Deadpool left, a few more customers arrived at Rosh's shop.
As usual, they all treated Rosh as if he were a madman.
In the past, Rosh wouldn't have had an excellent way to explain things to them. Even suggesting a taste test wouldn't have been very effective.
They'd think Rosh was trying to deceive them!
But now…
Things were different.
Rosh had an idea.
"Miss, I'm not joking."
Rosh looked at the young, college-aged woman in front of him and gave her a mysterious smile.
"Watch closely, and don't blink."
With that, Rosh slowly raised his right hand and extended one finger.
"What's going on? This is so strange."
The girl was puzzled, not understanding what Rosh was doing.
Buzz!
The next moment, Rosh's finger suddenly began to glow with a golden light!
"Oh! This is amazing! Your finger is actually glowing! How did you do that?"
"Is this magic? Are you a magician, store manager? I'm amazed!"
The girl gasped and covered her mouth as if she had witnessed something incredible.
"This isn't magic, Miss. You can check my hand to see if there are any props."
"Magic is an illusion created with special tools, but this isn't."
Rosh extinguished the light from his finger and extended his hand toward the girl.
She took Rosh's hand and examined it from all angles but found nothing unusual.
Her earlier disdain and skepticism began to fade.
"Boss, is this the superpower you got from the Devil Fruit?" The girl asked, eyes wide with interest.
"Of course. This is the power I gained after eating the Glint-Glint Fruit," Rosh replied with a smile.
"Really?"
"You've seen it for yourself, haven't you?"
The girl wouldn't believe it so easily, but her guard was coming down. She was no longer as resistant or doubtful as before, which was a positive change.
She even asked about other Devil Fruits!
Compared to before, this was a huge improvement.
However, when she learned that a single Devil Fruit could cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, she was immediately scared off.
"Boss, this is highway robbery!"
"I've never heard of something so outrageous!"
The girl left, fuming with indignation.
Though no sale was made, Rosh was still in a good mood.
If the girl hadn't been short on cash, Rosh was confident he could have sold a fruit to someone who wasn't financially constrained.
"This is not bad!"
Attracting customers' attention by actively demonstrating his abilities and turning them from passive recipients of information to actively curious individuals proved to be very effective.
This approach will be used in the future!
However, Rosh needed to learn more about marketing.
At the very least, he needed to be able to discern whether customers had the means to buy and whether they could afford his products.
Rosh wasn't in the business of performing monkey tricks, and the Glint-Glint Fruit wasn't a magic show.
He shouldn't waste too much effort on those with no buying potential.
"Should I film some short videos and post them on YouTube?"
Rosh pondered this question.
He believed videos featuring the Glint-Glint Fruit would be quite interesting.
While there was no guarantee they would go viral, they might attract some viewers.
It could drive traffic to his shop, right?
However, after some thought, Rosh dismissed the idea. After all, this was a world with S.H.I.E.L.D.
S.H.I.E.L.D. dealt with supernatural events, which could become problematic if they took an interest.
Of course, the videos might not necessarily catch S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention, but Rosh didn't want to take that risk.
His current strength was still too weak to deal with S.H.I.E.L.D. confidently.
It wasn't wise to be so high-profile.
For now, the shop has a decent flow of customers, with around twenty to thirty visitors daily.
Rosh wasn't going to believe that five Devil Fruits wouldn't sell.
For now, things would stay as they were.

Elsewhere, at Deadpool's home.
"Wade, is that really you? No, no, you can't be Wade; it's impossible!"
Vanessa stared at the man with better skin than her own, unable to believe her eyes.
Wade's moon-like face used to be ugly enough to scare children; how could it possibly be this guy?
However, this person did look just like Wade used to!
"Darling, it's me! I know this sounds crazy, but I'm better now! My skin has been healed!"
"No, my skin is even better than before, better than anyone else's in the world!"
"You won't believe this, but I've been through something really incredible."
Wade excitedly and rapidly explained everything to Vanessa.
Vanessa still couldn't believe it.
It wasn't until Deadpool mentioned some extremely private details that only the two of them knew that Vanessa was stunned to accept reality.
The man before her was indeed Wade!
"Wade, oh my God, what happened? Why is your face suddenly healed?"
Vanessa's eyes were wide in disbelief, "This is impossible!"
Wade's face was still a mess earlier this morning, but it's healed by the afternoon?
"Darling, I used to think the same, but today must be my lucky day!"
"I stumbled upon a shop selling Devil Fruits on 73rd Street and decided to check it out…"
Deadpool recounted everything that had happened that day to Vanessa.
"Devil Fruits? Wade, there are such amazing fruits in the world?"
Vanessa was amazed and full of wonder.
She would never have believed it if she hadn't seen Wade's face transform in a single afternoon.
But no matter what, this was good news.
Even though Vanessa didn't mind Wade's old face, it was undoubtedly better if he could return to being handsome.
Vanessa immediately suggested that they must go out to celebrate this great news.
Knock, knock, knock!
At that moment, there was a knock at the door.
