Chapter 44 Xuanwu’s Experience (Cultivation)

Therefore, after the gang system and territory system are officially launched in the future, I believe that wars between cities will follow. Of course, the government, that is, game companies, still occupy the dominant position, is undoubtedly the case.

However, I think this process will take a long time. How long will it take to achieve the reputation of 100,000? Even so, it is only the level of a "village". There are still many ways to go from the village to the city. I will never spend a lot of energy on these things. It is not only troublesome, but also in the future, there will be danger of being plotted against at any time due to disputes over interests. I am still much more comfortable alone.

After passing the wide road, "Fenglin Volcano" took me to the "Tianxia Restaurant" in Xuanwu City. Unlike the classical garden style of "Tianxia Restaurant" in Pangu City, which is mainly composed of bricks and wood, the "Tianxia Restaurant" in Xuanwu City is all made of green stones. In fact, along the way, I found that the entire Xuanwu City was built with this kind of stone of the same color as the city wall, reflecting a strong and rough style.

Sitting on the third floor, I took the recipe page by page, looked carefully at the last page of nearly a hundred most expensive top-quality dishes. A faint smile appeared on the corner of my mouth and turned to the opposite side. "Fenglin Volcano" whose face became paler because of my movements, and said, "I really didn't expect that Xuanwu City also has so many delicious foods. Since Volcano said you wanted to treat me to the 'best', then I'm not polite."

As he said that, he wanted to greet the guy who was waiting for us to order food.

"Oh--" Feng Linhuoshan grabbed my right hand that was about to reach out at an absolute super-light speed, and sat next to me and said, "Brother, you won't? Each dish on this page costs thousands of gold coins. If we want to fill it, we have to have at least one hundred and eighty dishes. I only have more than ten thousand gold coins on me! It's not enough to trude me to the restaurant!"

"NO! It's not 'we', it's just 'me'." I pulled out my right hand from his hand, shook my finger, and said, "I just said that I would treat me to the best meal, but now, before the food is ordered, someone has already regretted it. Is this popular in the world now?"

"Oh, of course not! This is the 'best' - well, by the way, good flowers also need green leaves to match. Look at how many good dishes we order, just two or three thousand gold coins, and then some worse green leaves, isn't it better?"

Feng Linhuoshan secretly applauded his "urgent wisdom". He could think of such an appropriate explanation. He really admired himself. But after saying that, he saw me who had not expressed his opinion, and his expression became a little nervous. Could it be that he really wanted to be a "villain" today?

For a whole minute, the eyes of "Fenglin Volcano" when I looked at me were almost full of "begging". When I saw this situation, I thought the heat was almost done, so I nodded slightly to express my magnanimity.

Immediately, the frustration in "Fenglin Volcano"'s eyes disappeared, instead of the proud look of success in the conspiracy. It seems that this guy is really good at pretending to be pitiful! Maybe he has a huge amount of gold tickets on his body. Today is a big loss!

But despite this, I ordered 9 dishes with more than 1,000 gold coins, plus more than a hundred medium and low-end dishes, which totaled 13,781 gold coins, almost all the gold coins on "Fenglin Volcano".

But I still feel very sorry. I didn’t see the golden tickets on “Fenglin Volcano” appear. I should be a little more ruthless. I regretted it in my heart.

But even more than 12,000 gold coins still made "Fenglin Volcano" very heartbroken. Although the harvest today is much greater than this number and the harvest tomorrow may be more, watching 13,781 gold coins flow out of my pocket, "Fenglin Volcano" obviously felt a faint pain in his chest, and his eyes looked at me became vicious, as if the legendary human and wolf resurrected.

There are nearly 18 hours left until 2:00 pm tomorrow. I was full in the game, but in the real world I was still hungry, so I hurriedly bid farewell to the man and wolf gentleman and agreed to meet on time at "Tianxia Inn" at 2:00 pm tomorrow.

After more than an hour, I slowly entered the game. In the "Tianxia Inn", the premium rooms here are really good, and the first-class facilities are not bad at all compared to the "Tianxia Inn" in Pangucheng.

Not only does it have a luxurious bathroom (used to clean because of blood stains caused by killing monsters), but it also has exquisite food and wine like a luxury carriage - the 50-year-old "Fire Burning". This "Fire Burning" is worthy of its name. I only took a sip and felt that my throat was burned, and it stretched from my throat to my stomach. But after a while, it slowly turned into warmth, and finally left a coolness in my heart.

I carefully savored this unique wine and thought, maybe I could buy some rare wines from various cities and then concentrate them in my own "Longhuxuan", "Linjia Restaurant" and "Linjia Inn". I believe this will definitely attract a large number of customers. The key is the price issue. If I trade directly with the restaurant, I will never be able to create profits; if I increase the price, I will not attract too many customers. Then I can only find some secret hotels, just like the kind of disguise shops in Pangucheng, and maybe there are similar shops in Xuanwu City.

I sent a "Flying Pigeon Letter" to Fenglin Volcano, but it ended in failure. I knew that this marked that "Fenglin Volcano" was not online at this time and wasted a silver coin. I could only lament the bad luck of "Fenglin Volcano" in my heart, otherwise I would definitely benefit after knowing these special stores.

In terms of store distribution, Xuanwu City is not much different from Pangu City, so I easily visited the entire Xuanwu City, and the overall time was only 3 hours. As expected, there are similar shops in Xuanwu City, and there are much more than Pangu City. Of course, most of them seem to me to have no effect. For example, there is a beauty shop in a corner of the west area of ​​Xuanwu City. The beauty technique is very ancient and simple, with only one cotton thread and a small amount of flour that can "make noodles" for you.

The method of "make noodles" is very simple. Apply a slightly damp flour on your face and then slide it over the flour with delicate cotton thread, which is like making a facial mask: after "make noodles", your skin will look very smooth and delicate. Of course, the services of each level have different effects. Of course, I didn't try it, after all, this is a girl's thing, and I never use these things even in the real world.

But when I saw such a unique store, I was curious and went in to look at it for a while. There were actually a few female players doing "donom repairs". There were also several male players outside the store talking in a low voice. It seemed that they were all the boyfriends of those female players.

Of course there are some other shops, but they have no meaning to me. The only thing I like is a shop selling antiques and erotic goods in the northeast corner of Xuanwu City, and it also operates a "pawn shop".

It acquires players' replacement equipment, some of which are filled with "antiques" and the other part is directly sold into "old goods". Of course, if you are inconvenient at hand but don't want to sell your equipment, you can also pawn it. Players can borrow 30% of the price of the pawn items.

If you can pay off your loan and 10% interest within one month, then you can take away your items; if you can't, then I'm sorry, the item will belong to the store. Of course, all this requires an agreement and everything is legal.

But obviously the business of this store was not very good. Only two or three players had depressed faces to mortgage their proud equipment in the store and quickly left with the gold coins they received. Similarly, the shop owner also looked numb. When he saw me coming in, he just raised his eyes slightly, and then he still kept his fat body on the counter.

Fortunately, this is a stone counter, otherwise I can be sure that this "magnificent" body, which is comparable to the fat pig Zhang Sanda, will definitely crush this counter; I also complained to the designers of the game company, why do you put such a giant creature here? Do businessmen have to be fat? Because in my experience, there is no shopkeeper in "The World" that is slim.

I looked around the surrounding environment, casually looked at the pile of "old goods", and also looked at the utensils called "antiques". I found that "old goods" are actually not necessarily some garbage equipment. For example, one of the "fire tassel guns" is a bronze equipment, but its attributes are good. Attack + 20 is a rare good thing for those newbies. But now it is randomly piled in "old goods" and sold at a price of 100 gold coins per piece.

Of course, I also know that the price is marked because the durability of this "Fire Tassel Gun" has dropped to 6/80, and it will be scrapped as long as it is used a little. If such a weapon is repaired in a blacksmith shop, the cost will be not low. I believe it will cost at least a few hundred gold coins.

In addition, the more equipment is repaired, the durability will become lower and lower. As a result, this "fire tassel gun" can only lie pitifully in the "old goods" and wait for the abandoned fate.

As for the shelves where "antiques" are placed, most of them are good things, most of them are top-quality bronze equipment, as well as a few pieces of silver equipment and a piece of gold equipment. Of course, their prices are definitely ridiculously high, but if you really need to calculate it carefully, it will be about the same price if placed in an auction house, but this price seems to be very expensive in the store.

However, even so, I was very surprised. Because in the "Weapon Ranking", there are several silver equipment among the top 100 weapons, which means that there are not 100 pieces of gold equipment and three dark gold equipment. However, in this unknown small shop, there is one piece of gold equipment and three pieces of silver equipment. How can I not surprise me?

In an instant, the prototype of a plan began to form in the brain, and began to optimize and develop.

"Boss, how do you sell this piece of equipment?" I played with this golden equipment called "Search of the Sky". It was obviously a Qimen weapon. The two-inch-wide ruler was shining with a faint cold light. It can be used as a sword or as a knife. Its attributes are even more impressive. Attack +45, 10% chance of flashing to blur the enemy's vision, and it has a suppressive effect on most ordinary poisons.

"There are prices on it, you won't look at it yourself?" The boss lying on the counter said without raising his head, his tone full of impatientness.

"I saw it, but the price was a little higher." Of course I saw it, but the price was a little higher, which was not good for my plan.

"If you don't have money to buy, don't be a big shot!" Another sentence came from his lying down, his attitude was so bad that he seemed to want you not to buy it.

Fortunately, I am so obedient to my kung fu that I won’t get angry about this little thing, and I still said slowly: “But I want to buy out all the antiques here-”

Before I finished speaking, a figure flashed in front of me. If it weren't for the huge body that made me clearly know that this was the shop owner, I thought I would have served it with the iron fist.

"Buyout - all the 'antiques'?" The boss spitted out these words in his big mouth, as if it had exhausted all his strength.

From this sentence, coupled with the attitude of the fat boss before, I can almost certain that he is also an NPC with a real person, and he is very frustrated. But I still don’t understand why the game company asked the real person to play the boss of this store. Is it because of those pieces of silver equipment and that piece of gold equipment?

Although I don’t understand, I understand the boss’s mentality very well and said confidently: “Not bad! But the price of your equipment here is a little higher, so you can’t sell it at all. Even in the auction house, it’s the most expensive.”

"Oh, I have no choice!" The boss sighed, his depressed look made him look much smaller.

After a long period of complaints, I finally learned that the owner of the store called "Wang Wancai" in this game is an employee of the Chinese branch of the game company. However, unlike senior staff like Fat Pig Zhang San and others, he is just a low-level staff member, and his work scope is only this small shop. The game company sets up these secret stores to provide players with the pleasure of "gold-seeking" but like other staff members, the quality of the store management directly determines the employee's bonus.

It’s okay for senior employees like Zhang San to have good salary, but Wang Wancai is different. Because he is a low-level employee, his monthly salary is only 800 yuan, and the main income lies in the bonus.

However, once you enter the game, you find that not only your store is very secretive, but also according to the settings of the game company, such stores cannot be promoted to maintain their secrets. In this way, there are very few people coming to the door, and you cannot leave the store. Even if you ask other players to promote it, it will be of little effect. After all, after the coin exchange system is activated, no one will be short of money. Even if you lack money, few people will be used as equipment here.

In the past two months since the game started, only a few people have sold a few pieces of worn-out equipment here, but no one has bought the "antiques" on the shelves. The simple reason is that the price is too expensive, which is not affordable by the working class here.

Therefore, this store called "Wancai Antiques Store" has only earned more than 30,000 gold coins since its opening. Even compared with employees of the same level, their income is much higher, just like the "beauty salon" I visited before. Although there are few beauty players, each income is very considerable.

Looking at Wang Wancai who kept sighing, I was speechless, there was competition everywhere! However, this kind of competition is the source of my wealth.

"Don't worry, as long as you can lower the price a little, I guarantee to buy out all your 'antiques', and some 'old goods' I will also absorb some of them. The only question is whether you can decide the price of these antiques!" Yes, if it is the price specified by the system, I can't make any profit from it. But I think if the game company really sets it like this, wouldn't it really put these low-level employees into the "cold palace"?

"Yes, of course!" Wang Wancai said happily: "There are a minimum price of these 'antiques', which can be sold as long as they are higher than this price. But I didn't dare to lower the price before, and there were not many people who came to buy it. If it was lowered, I would lose more. Moreover, these 'antiques' will be added every week, and there is no problem with the supply of goods."

That's great! In other words, there is at least one piece of gold and three pieces of silver equipment every week. If they are all placed in my own "Longhu Xuan", it will definitely make my "Longhu Xuan" famous. At that time, "Longhu Xuan" would not have an average income of about one thousand gold coins per day. In my expectation, it could reach a net profit of at least 10,000-20,000 gold coins.

The next thing is very simple. Every week, I will buy some more valuable equipment from the "Wancai Antiques Store". Of course, gold and silver equipment are indispensable. Of course, I will buy some good "old goods" and then hand them over to Qu Yezi to refine them, so that they can "turn waste into treasure" and sell them at a good price.

In addition, Qu Yezi promised to create a piece of equipment for me every day, ordinary silver equipment or top-quality bronze equipment is randomly uncertain. In this way, my "Longhuxuan" will have a large amount of high-end equipment, and players will definitely come in a steady stream. It just so happens that these days, there is constant friction between Pangu City and Nuwa City, and the "Iron Blood Sect" and "Xiongba" families are also unclear, so the equipment must be very easy to sell.

Of course, my plan is not just that. After hunting the "Copper and Iron Beast" with "Wind Forest Volcano" tomorrow, I will go to ten other cities to find the secret stores in the city, explore more resources, expand the scale of "Longhuxuan", and build the brand of "the No. 1 grocery store in the mainland".

Of course, now I can only buy all the "antiques" and some "old goods" at the agreed price. As for the players' pawn items, it is really bad. Wang Wancai cannot make too much money on this part. More than 30,000 gold coins a month is already a very good result.

After discussing some details with Wang Wancai, I happily got off the line and fell asleep sweetly in the beautiful future.

After I went online the next morning, the game time was already 1:30. I appeared on the soft big bed in the premium guest room of "Tianxia Inn" and stretched my waist to cheer up.

After tidying up my clothes, I came to the restaurant in front and had a brief lunch that I had come to. Halfway through, "Fenglin Volcano" rushed over.

He grabbed a golden roasted chicken leg and ate it, "Fenglin Volcano" said, "I starved to death. I just fought monsters in the 'Black Dragon Pond' and almost got eaten by the 'Black Leech'. It's so unlucky!"

Black Dragon Pond? This "Wind Forest Volcano" said yesterday that it is a gathering place for monsters around Xuanwu City. It is mainly water-based monsters. There are hundreds of small lakes of all sizes around "Black Dragon Pond". Each small lake has various types of water-based monsters. The closer it is to the "Black Dragon Pond", the stronger the monsters in the small lake.

Of course, don't think that all of those monsters come from the small lake. In fact, there are many water-based monsters on land. They are generally amphibious monsters. They spend most of their time on land and attack behind them while players attack monsters in the water. Once they encounter danger, they can stay safe as long as they hide in the water. Therefore, the monsters that "Black Dragon Pond" are actually them.

Of course, players who have been in Xuanwu City for a while can know this. As for the way to know, whether it is a friend's message, an forum, or a personal experience, there are only three types.

Haha, the "black leech" mentioned in "Fenglin Volcano" is this kind of amphibious monster, and it is a very sinister type. Yesterday, "Fenglin Volcano" mentioned it specifically when introducing it to me, but I didn't expect that today he became a victim of many players.

"Haha, this means that you are not strong enough! I will leave all the "Copper and Iron Beast" today to me, otherwise you will still get very few attribute points." I am a good medicine. Although "Fenglin Volcano" was upgraded two levels in a row yesterday, the attribute points obtained were pitiful 4 points. This is because he made great efforts at the previous level. If he still killed the "Copper and Iron Beast" in this way, it is estimated that the upgrade today will bring even fewer attribute points.

But for my suggestion, "Fenglin Volcano" kept shaking his head, saying that the attribute point that earned money can be given up in vain? Isn't this too sorry for myself? At the same time, I maintain a firm skepticism about my "good" intention.

Alas, it's okay. The honest advice! I ordered some food again, and I hurriedly finished it, pointing to the "Copper and Iron Beast". Of course, I paid the meal this time, maybe it was to avenge yesterday's revenge. The dish with about ten gold coins "Fenglin Volcano" ate more than 100 of my total gold coins. But the result of such overeating was that "Fenglin Volcano" temporarily dropped by 10 points, and he walked slowly.

So it took more than four hours to go through the two formations to reach the residence of the "Copper and Iron Beast". It was called "Paradise" by "Winlin Volcano". If I hadn't been walking and stopping halfway, I would probably have never been here. However, I had no complaints about this. It was precisely because of the delay of "Winlin Volcano" that I had completely figured out the way to walk in the maze in the cave, and there were 9981 different ways to walk, which made me remember my mind dizzy.

However, finally, relying on the writing function of the "log" I wrote down all these ways of walking.
Chapter completed!
