Chapter 45 The first experience of Ratchet City

Along the way, the large-scale Taurus caravan where Lao Tang was located passed through the Raptor Plain along the Golden Road, passed through the stagnant oasis supply station, and crossed the barren wasteland without any haste. Now, the caravan has finally arrived at the Goblins' commercial center in Kalimdo - Ratchet City.

Due to too much cargo, the caravan did not move fast, and it took nearly a week to cross the barren land. During this nearly a week, Lao Tang was devastated.

Kenna*The wind of the grassland, the mouth of this tauren girl who is a little chattering, has basically never been idle along the way.

One by one, they are like "Brother Good, what kind of girls do you like?" "Brother Good, are you and Anak's horror totem brothers and why are you so different in personality?" "Brother Good, is Grudiger Anyun so cold with whom? Will he laugh?" "Brother Good, is this hawk your girlfriend?"......and so on, endless gossip questions are thrown out one after another, making Old Tang, who has never frowned at the challenge of the strong opponents, burst into cold sweats.

Even though the old Tang's past record was a little forgotten by the person involved, Kenna, he was playing it in a row in a row, making Lao Tang's head swell and his temples thrust.

This tauren girl with cute big eyes is not only "terrible", but her mount is also a restless person. She has only a gray-white skin and a petite female riding the Kodo beast, which is only three-fifths of the size of a barbarian horn, but she bullies the always powerful barbarian horn.

Along the way, most of the food prepared by Lao Tang for Manjiao was put into the little guy's belly. Manjiao, who had always been protecting food, had surprisingly no fierce resistance. Whenever his food was divided, Manjiao was at best just a few demonstrative calls to express his unwillingness, and turned his head and looked at Lao Tang pitifully. Old Tang was so angry that he kept scolding Manjiao without any backbone, and when he saw the opposite sex, he became a cartilage.

A week passed by Lao Tang's cold sweat and the chatter of Kenna's grassland wind. Now that he has finally arrived at his destination, Ratchet City, and Lao Tang, who has experienced "fatigue bombing" along the way, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since he has arrived at Ratchet City, as long as he finds a sea boat going east, he can start his journey to the Eastern Kingdom and quickly get rid of a small talkative language offensive. Thinking of this, Lao Tang was excited and finally smiled on his face that had been tense.

Old Tang pulled the reins of the barbarian horn and rushed to the front of the caravan and explained a few words to several persons in charge of the caravan. He led the team into the commercial town of the goblin in front of him, Ratchet City, with some excitement.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Ratchet City is a port town under the management of the Goblin Trade Prince, with a population dominated by goblins. As a neutral city, members of all races are welcome here. Ratchet City is a city built on trade and profits. These trades are either legal or not so legal, but one thing in common is that they provide great business opportunities for merchants.

By cooperating with trade allies of Treasure Bay, which is also a hot sand enterprise, Ratchet City earns huge price difference by importing goods from Azeroth and exporting goods from Kalimdor. The high profits brought by such a transaction relationship have made both parties profitable.

For those adventurers who want to make money, Ratchet City also has a lot of opportunities. Whether it is collecting animal furs or various resources for goblin merchants, or providing protection for caravans traveling through the barren lands, or even providing various stolen goods or rare materials of unknown origin to the black market of Ratchet City, it is a good way to make money. Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to earn commissions and have the life to enjoy the comfortable life brought by gold coins.

Gazrovi, a shrewd and greedy male goblin, is the administrator of this noisy commercial city. Under his command, a powerful security team composed entirely of goblins defends the safety of the city, coordinates the relationship between all races in the port city, and guarantees limited peace within the city.

You should know that as a neutral city that does not restrict the entry of any intelligent race, countless adventurers, merchants or travelers from all races will appear here————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

But you can't expect high elves and trolls to sit calmly at the same stall and taste delicious food and talk about life; you can't expect taurens and centaurs to appear in the same tavern to drink happily and drink. For those who have deep hatred, meeting or not is to meet the dead.

For those energetic adventurers who have a lot of hatred and have one another, the best way to restrict them from causing trouble is to use shiny coins to win over and seduce them, and use powerful force to deter and intimidate them.

Therefore, in order to ensure the long-term stability of this port that can bring huge profits to the goblins, a public security force with excellent combat effectiveness is essential. The Ratchet City Public Security Guard came into being.

In Ratchet City, no matter how much hatred there is, you must maintain restraint. You must not draw your sword and resort to force. If you dare to take action and violate the rules here, then what awaits you will definitely be bullets and grenades from the goblins "urban management". If you really break into a big basket, it is not impossible to send a few goblin tearers to encircle you.

It has to be said that goblins can be called the most business-minded Azeroth native race. Not only are their wonderful ideas about making money amazing, but their keen sense of business management and their keen sense of business opportunities are definitely the best. In Lao Tang's impression, only those Xuling businessmen who travel through different planes compete with theirs.

"Ah! Another group of potential customers!" A sharp and unpleasant voice reached the ears of Lao Tang and others.

Lao Tang and the caravan and his group had just walked down the hillside and entered the outer periphery of Ratchet City. A goblin tax officer dressed in an account room, accompanied by several members of the Ratchet City Guards, walked up to stop the caravans and paid commercial taxes for the goods entering the city.

Not far away, two goblin tearers who were half a head taller than Old Tang and looked like robots were patrolling back and forth. The exhaust pipes with the thickness of their arms were not spewing out black exhaust smoke columns. At the end of the left arm of the machine, a hideous chain saw kept turning, which looked very deterrent.

There is not much commercial tax. Even if it is as large as the Taurus caravan, it only collects two and a half gold coins. During the tax collection process, there is no old-fashioned drama like bullying people and making things difficult. Goblins with amazing talents in commercial trade will naturally not do the brainless things that will fish out and offend customers for a little profit.

Before the release, the goblin tax officer who was only at the height of Lao Tang's thigh, learned that it was his first time to come to Ratchet City, and distributed a booklet to every caravan member. The cover of the booklet also wrote two rows of big words in mainland China's common language.

Without any trouble, Lao Tang and his group successfully entered the central area of ​​Ratchet City. As soon as they entered the trade area of ​​Ratchet City, a messy but lively noise came to their faces.

On both sides of the street, dozens of large and small products are neatly arranged in two rows. Each of them has different shapes and strange styles, and is lined up one by one, but it is particularly eye-catching. Many larger shops even use mechanical loudspeakers to continuously advertise and sell to merchants, travelers and adventurers on the street. In just a few minutes, Lao Tang could easily distinguish the main products of each store.

Fur shops, blacksmith shops, taverns, herbal shops, etc. are common; engineering supplies stores, jewelry shops, etc. are not rare; Lao Tang even observed an enchanting equipment store opened by a high elves and a voodoo jewelry store run by a troll...

The little geek-shaped girl in front of Lao Tang was almost dazzled by the lively scene here. The little girl who was held in Lao Tang's arms looked around with her big, smart eyes, almost turning her neck. She shouted from time to time, which attracted many people to stop and wait and see.

The little chattering shaman Kenna, who rode on the petite Kordo beast, should have seen such many races for the first time, and the various stores for the first time. The little mouth that kept talking along the way was also wide open because of surprise, and could swallow two eggs.

Most of the other people in the caravan and the guards were similar. After migrating from the desolate land to Mogaole, this was the first time that a Tauren caravan came to Ratchet City for commercial interaction. Faced with the prosperous and lively scenes in front of him and various other Azeroth races, except for Lao Tang, a time traveler, the rest of the others were inevitably amazed.

After a while, everyone gradually adapted to the prosperity of Ratchet City. After browsing the bustling streets, more than a dozen merchants in the caravan greeted Lao Tang, and led their men to lead the Kodo beasts carrying their own goods to scatter, looking for buyers and shops for their goods.

In addition to sending two as liaison personnel to the squad, the rest, including the little chatter shaman, followed Lao Tang to search for hotels and taverns in the bustling Ratchet City to prepare for their stay at night.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

After wandering around the bustling streets for several times, Lao Tang and his group found a small hotel with the sign "Available Room" at the door. The hotel is not large in size, and the front and building height are not small. Although this hotel called Sailors' Home does not look eye-catching from the outside, it is indeed a unique place for the interior.

It was possible that the construction was built to consider the entry of large races. The three-story building was indeed quite tall and wide on the first floor. The ceiling was more than three meters high from the ground, so Lao Tang didn't have to worry about touching his head with his size.

The shop owner is a very old male goblin with a gray hair, but his skills are quite agile. As soon as he saw Lao Tang and a strong man walking into the door, he suddenly rushed out from behind the counter, jumped to a wine table in front of Lao Tang, and asked with his head raised:

"Ahh, you are new, are you? I have a clear price tag here, and I am not a fool!"

"How many empty rooms are there? We have to live in a total of more than 40 people. Can we stay?" The past few days of sleeping in the open house made Lao Tang a little tired. Hearing the boss' inquiry, he directly reported his own needs.

"You are lucky. A group of trolls checked out and left my hotel. The rooms that the guys with big fangs poured out were not booked yet. More than 40 people? Haha! Another good deal!"

"Double room, the room rate is 23 silver coins per room! There is hot water supply at night! You can also see the sea view of the dock! It is absolutely cost-effective! Add seven silver coins to each room and enjoy a full zebra meat meal! Even the appetite of your tauren can be full! If you pay five more silver coins, you can also drink a pot of strong rum! You can ask in Ratchet City, the reputation of my old Poppy and the Sailor House is first-class in this area!"

This hotel owner named Lao Bobby is definitely a good salesman. After recommendation, it quickly moved Lao Tang. Lao Tang took out twenty gold coins from his magic backpack on his waist, handed it to the gray-haired but agile goblin boss, and said, "After hesitating, he said."

"Open twenty-four rooms first, each room will have a zebra meat meal and rum you mentioned. These are deposits. I'm not sure how many days you'll stay. If you don't have enough, tell me again! Arrange it quickly!"

The hotel owner named Lao Bobby, but after chewing the gold coins one by one, he clanged his hands, and confirmed that he was a real person with great weight, he responded loudly: "Ahh, you are such a generous leader, and your friends will definitely praise you!"

After saying that, he turned around and shouted at the several goblin waiters in the corner of the hall, "What are you doing while standing there? Why don't you go clean the room and lead the way for the guests! Do you want to be deducted this month's salary? A bunch of lazy people! Get moving quickly! Don't force me to take care of your ass!"

Ignoring the hotel owner's scream, Old Tang turned around and said to the powerful men behind him:

"Everyone go to the room to rest for a while, have dinner and move freely!" After saying that, he took the hand of the hawk girl and followed a goblin waiter to his room.

Behind Old Tang, a group of strong men with excitement as they cried and howled suddenly sounded.

Tonight will be a wonderful night for these tauren men!
