Chapter 19 The city is full of small advertisements
The sun rises slowly from the east, and the first ray of light shines on the top of the Qinglong Divine Tree. It slowly passes through the gaps between the branches and shines into the city. A new day comes again.
In Xicheng, people who were rushing to start their day's life like hard-working ants. In the slums near Xicheng, a big man wearing a stitching and emitting a faint bloody smell, Hu Jiu walked out of the house in a hurry and walked along the not-wide alley to Xicheng.
Hu Jiu is a bounty hunter. In the Holy Spirit Continent, in addition to the five empires, there are four major organizations, mercenary unions, hunter unions, business alliances and dark alliances. The influence of these two sessions and two alliances is no less than that of the five empires.
There are some duplications in the functions of mercenary unions and hunter unions. The difference is that mercenary unions are composed of elite small groups. At the same time, the organizational structure of mercenary unions is more stringent and the entry threshold is very high. Hunter unions take the civilian route and individuals can apply. The organizational structure is relatively loose. The unions only exist as a platform. If you want to apply to become a hunter, you can obtain the hunter status as long as you have a certain degree of strength.
Hunters obtain bounty by completing tasks, so they are also called bounty hunters. The Hunter Union also has a set of level evaluation standards, star rating, moon level, day level, ten levels per level. Hunters obtain points by completing tasks and get upgrades. However, the three levels of star, moon and day still have enough strength. Although it is simple to become an ordinary hunter, it is very difficult to become a moon-level elite hunter.
Hu Jiu is just a two-star hunter, and is also a third-rate hunter among hunters. He usually earns some small money by taking on trivial tasks. He barely fed and fed up. He bought a few big buns from a small stall on the roadside, but found that there were words on the wrapping paper.
I glanced at it all, but I understood the general meaning. Someone wanted to collect dragon rats, and it was a high price. I was making a joke. No one asked for this thing for nothing. I muttered a few words in my heart and continued to chew the buns and came to the Hunter Union.
The union hall is also divided into three parts. The star-rated hall is the largest and accommodates the most people. Hu Jiu patted his half-full stomach and pushed open the union gate. Because it was early morning, there were not many people in the hall. He came to the service area responsible for low-level tasks with familiarity.
"Old Man Ge, are there any tasks that make more money and is less difficult!" Hu Jiu shouted loudly behind a counter with a snow-white beard and wrinkled face. He was at least seventy or eighty years old, just like every morning.
"The old man is not deaf yet, why are you shouting so loudly?" The old man muttered, threw a task list over and said, "There is a task on it, catching the Dark Moon Dragon Rat, a living five silver coins. But Xiao Jiuzi, it's just your ability, it's a bit difficult!"
Hu Jiuke didn't hear the old man's words, but was shocked by the five-silver dragon rat, and quickly looked at the task above: "Old man, this Yang family's goods warehouse is really a dragon rat, are the rats under our feet?"
"The words are not written in black and white, and there is a trade union contract. If the other party can lie to you, it will be impossible to deceive the trade union..." Old man Ge shook his head. Before he finished speaking, he looked at Hu Jiu who was running out and muttered: "If it were the old man, I would be thirty years younger. I didn't expect that there would be someone who spent such a high price to collect the dragon rat!"
The Holy Spirit Continent uses four metal currencies: copper, silver, gold and purple gold. One hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin, ten silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin, and one purple gold coin can be exchanged for one thousand gold coins. The first three are the main circulating currencies, and purple gold coins are the currency used as bulk exchanges.
Although the metal currency patterns issued by the five empires are different, they are generally in the same way, and the coins of each country are also very strong. A hundred kilograms of grain is only one silver coin, while a family of three costs only five or six silver coins per month. The price of five silver coins of a living dragon rat can be considered a sky-high price.
Who doesn’t know that the dragon rat is just a low-level spirit beast? Although it is dangerous, it is not impossible to spend time hunting and only those who live. Moreover, the city guards have indicators for hunting dragon rats for every household every year. It can be said that this is compulsory and will not pay any reward.
As a low-level bounty hunter, Hu Jiu often received tasks of hunting dragon rats in the past, but the bounty was spontaneously taken out by merchants or people to ask them to hunt dragon rats. The bounty was only fifty copper coins for a dragon rat, and only low-level bounty hunters like them would take this task. Now a living dragon rat has increased by ten times the price. If it is true, it will be really rich.
Hu Jiu ran fast enough, but when he came to the front of the Yang family warehouse, there were many people gathered in front of the warehouse. They all saw small advertisements posted everywhere and came to ask in disbelief.
"Lao Jiu, you are here too!"
"Dao Wu, you're early enough. Look at how you came out of it. Is the news that the Yang family's warehouse is going to collect dragon rats true or false?" Hu Jiu and Dao Wu are both low-level hunters. They used to team up to accept the task of hunting dragon rats. Although they have received confirmation from the trade union, he still came to want to be convinced.
"It's true. The news I saw in the alley in the morning and ran over. I thought it was a joke. I didn't expect that it would be true when I asked. However, I only collected the living. I just bought a few nets and was planning to go to the union to find a few people. While there were not many people, I quickly grabbed a few. I guess when the news spread, there would be more people fighting for food. My mother's one is five silver coins!"
"I'm the one, let's call Liu Liu. The three of them are almost the same. Although it's a bit troublesome to catch them, it should be fine if you use the Internet! The money you get is evenly divided by the time."
"Okay, go, look for Liu Liu!"
As the sun continued to climb and the sky was bright, the western market became completely bustling, but the flow of people in front of the Yang family's warehouse did not decrease at all, but instead increased.
"Give me, give me!" Hu Jiu and others went quickly and returned quickly, but when they followed, there was an extra dragon rat tied up by a net and tied with ropes in his hands. The constant squeaking sound of the dragon rat proved that it was a living dragon rat.
The crowd around looked at the three of them and immediately separated and let the three of them enter the shop.
"Shopkeeper, a living dragon rat, look! You're still calling!" Although Hu Jiu and others received the accurate letter, they still couldn't believe it. So after calling the person, they went to catch one and rushed over and rushed over.
Yang Shengcai looked at the dragon rat, just glanced at it, and said, "It's alive, no problem, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, throw the dragon rat into the backyard. These are five silver coins, you can get it!"
"I really give it! It's true, damn, I'm going to catch it too. One silver coin is five, I'm just a fool!" A strong man in the crowd saw the silver coins and shouted loudly.
"Yes, it doesn't take more than a month. If you catch two, you will be able to eat and wear the whole family. If you catch a few more, you can eat even meat!"
"Shopkeeper, how much do you want to collect? Will you just take it for one or two days and not take it?"
The crowd suddenly heard one by one, and it was noisy, but everyone seemed to see a way to make a fortune. Yang Shengcai looked at the crowd of people who were in love and knew that the heat was almost done. He immediately stood on the stool and said loudly: "Everyone, calm down, listen to Yang's words!"
"My Yang family warehouse has signed a contract with the Mercenary Union, the Hunter Union, and even the City Guard Office. Starting today, the unlimited purchase of living dragon rats will continue to be accepted unless the dragon rat is extinct! Don't worry that this matter will be abandoned halfway!"
"In addition, my shop has prepared various mouse-catching tools for everyone to facilitate your use of catching rats. In order to encourage everyone to catch more dragon rats, my Yang Family Warehouse has also launched a mouse-catching list. As long as you catch a certain number of dragon rats, you can enjoy discounts on purchasing items in my warehouse. At the same time, the rat-catching gold list will be selected every month. Those who are on the list can get a 20% discount on buying and selling in my warehouse. At the same time, there are special rewards for ten gold coins. For details, please see the announcement hanging outside the store!"
"There is also this good thing. Come and give me a few mouse-catching nets. I'm going to catch them now!"
"Don't squeeze, I'm in front, I'll give me two nets first!"
The Yang Family Goods Store is popular. The store that was previously deserted was suddenly crowded. The shop inside was even more busy and the foot was not stuck. The Yang Family Goods Store wanted to acquire Dragon Rat and spread quickly. Before noon, the whole city knew about the Yang Family Goods Store collecting Dragon Rat in the West Market.
"Huh!" Yang Shengcai finally got out and came to the second floor. Through the window, he looked at the crowds of people outside, with a hint of glory on his face: "Luyu, you didn't believe it before, look at the current scene, and the prince is right. We seem to be losing money and making a lot of money, but in fact we have made a lot of money!"
"The nets I bought from before were sold half of them this morning, and there were wooden shields covered with iron and rat skins. This inferior goods were sold for two silver coins at a time. At this time, it was sold for hundreds of them. The cost price of this thing was only one silver coin. And this thing was caught seven or eight times, even if it was scrapped, hehe, this item alone could fill most of the previous deficit!"
"And according to the prince, after making money from us, these people will buy some things from us. After all, the goods sold in our warehouse are similar to other warehouses. This way, we make another profit. Even if we lose money before, we will still make a lot of money!"
Yang Luoyu curled her lips. Although she was unwilling to admit it, the hot scene downstairs seemed to have never been since the opening of the Yang family's warehouse. And as the news spread, more people would come to them.
"Father, according to this level, our store is probably going to hire people. In addition, the street shops that were rented out before should be taken back!"
"You are right, I'll leave this to you. I have to meet with those merchants and workshop owners. Place more orders and deliver them quickly. Don't cut the goods by then!"
