You Xia glanced at the man's slightly flattering expression and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"

"My name is Dis, and I am the guide for all businessmen who come from afar." The man answered with a bowed waist. "You can come to me for renting a house, buying a house, looking for people, or hiring workers. I only need to charge some copper coins as a fee for running errands."

You Xia understands, isn’t this just an intermediary?

After turning into an elf, his ears became much sharper. When the man came over, he heard a young man not far away cursed, "Damn it, that boy Diss got the better of him again."

He estimated that the man in front of him was not a liar, so he said to Dis: "I want to rent a shop."

Dis's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid that others would hear him and lose his business, "Is this a store for business?"

"That's right."

"Then it's right for you to come to me. I happen to know a few shops on Schleivoger Street that are for rent. How big of a shop do you want, and do you have any requirements?" Dis led him towards the road ahead, and from time to time

Look back at Youxia.

He seemed to be very interested in Youxia's appearance under the hood, but he did not dare to observe it too brazenly.

You Xia followed in his footsteps: "It doesn't have to be big. I just need a small shop selling food. It needs to be in a good location and has a lot of people. It's best to have two floors with sleeping rooms."

"What about the price? What is the highest annual rent you can accept?"

You Xia also learned about this problem from the goblins.

In Los City, a meal for ordinary people basically costs about twenty copper coins, and the monthly rent for a single room in a convenient transportation area in a civilian area will not exceed ten silver coins at most.

He now has five gold coins, which translates into 500 silver coins and 50,000 copper coins. It seems like a lot, but he must leave at least one gold coin as a week's operating expenses for the milk tea shop.

After thinking for a while, he said: "The annual rent is within four gold coins."

Dis nodded and said confidently: "You definitely can't rent it at this price on Schleivoger Street, but there is a house on Nightingale Street that quite meets your requirements. I will take you there right now."

Yousha heard that he always mentioned the word "Schlevog" and couldn't help but ask: "Is Schlevog's shop expensive?"

"Of course, it is the center of the city after all, and the annual rent is at least ten gold coins and upwards."

As expected of Dis, who specializes in this business, seeing that Youxia didn't know much about it, he explained the situation in Los City in a few words.

"We are now in Feodorin City. What I want to take you to is the old commercial district Alser Street. The rent of shops there is half cheaper than that of Schleivoger Street. Generally, small merchants from other places will choose to do business there.

goods."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in the right direction: "Go straight along this road and you can reach the City Hall Square in the center of the city. Further north is the Joseph City area. Most of the major chambers of commerce are stationed there. Xiong Bren

There are also branches of the four major alliances on the street. If you have any needs for escorting goods, you can go there and have a look. As long as the pay is decent, someone will take care of it."

While trying to remember the information he mentioned, Youxia asked: "If I want to open a store here, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"It's nothing special." Dis chuckled, then quickly put away his smile. "The only thing is, don't go near the Maria District in the west. It's a poor and chaotic place, our biggest black market.

The casino is right there. If you don’t have some connections, I don’t recommend you go there. It’s very dangerous.”

Unexpectedly, there is such a place in a seemingly affluent and peaceful big city. Youxia asked curiously: "What is sold on the black market?"

"There are things that are not allowed on the surface." Dis replied, glancing at half of Youxia's delicate and beautiful face under the hood, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Including the slave trade, the rarer the race, the more rare it is.

It’s popular.”

You Xia swallowed subconsciously and pulled down the brim of his hat.

Thanks to Dis's selfless scientific knowledge, Youxia gradually gained a general grasp of the situation in Los City. After about ten minutes, he was taken to a spacious and densely populated boulevard.

"This is Nightingale Street."

Dis pointed at a two-story building in the diagonal corner with half the roof covered by a canopy of sycamore trees: "What do you think of that shop?"

You Xia looked at the house he was pointing at, which happened to be at the corner of a crossroads. Next to the corner was a long, narrow and deep alley, and he could see the hotel sign sticking out from the building next door.

Dis gushed: "There are a lot of people on the street. Four gold coins a year is definitely the lowest price in the same area. And I know the landlord and can negotiate with you again. You can get it for three gold coins and eighty silver coins..."

Youxia walked to the front of the house and took a look.

The house has obviously been weathered, with moss sprouting from the gaps between the pink and white stone bricks. It is also relatively small in area. Although it has two floors, it looks squat. The top of the second floor is mostly a small attic.

"Directly opposite here is a bakery, next door is a pharmacy that is not very open, on the right is a flower shop, and diagonally across the corner is an old tailor shop..." Dis introduced eloquently from the side, and finally asked

: "It shouldn't conflict with the business you want to do, right?"

You Xia shook his head and said, "Go in and have a look."

There are two small flower beds between the sidewalk and the shop door, but there is no green at all in the flower beds. The soil is dark and dry, and there are wisps of black and purple smoke, as if they have been poisoned.

"What's wrong with the soil here?" Yousha asked standing by the flower bed when Dis took out the key and opened the door.

"Oh, that's the 'masterpiece' of the last tenant!" Dis mocked, while opening the lock and explaining: "The last tenant was a black magician, and he didn't know what he did to the flower bed. After he left, this land

That’s what it became.”

"Didn't you find someone to solve it?"

"Look, the people from the Mage Alliance said that unless there are elves who are close to the natural elements to resolve the poison in the land, we can only wait and wait for the flower bed to return to its original state."

Dis pushed open the wooden door of the house, turned around and smiled helplessly at him, "This is also the reason why this store is cheaper."

Youxia nodded, without identifying his identity as an elf, and followed Dis into the house calmly.

The inside of the house is much cleaner than the outside. The first floor is empty, with only dilapidated wooden stairs leading to the second floor.

He walked straight up the stairs, and as expected, the second floor was indeed a dark attic, with a wooden bed sandwiched between the sloping roofs on both sides, and other than that there were only some simple old furniture.

Youxia stood beside the bed, feeling that the low roof was weighing down his back.

He glanced around, walked to the small window near the street, and pushed open the wooden plank to block the wind. The golden light of the sunset passed through the lush branches and leaves of the sycamore tree and spread on the wooden floor, casting dots of light spots.

Dis stood at the top of the stairs and asked, "What do you think of this?"

You Xia stared at the dust flying in the sun. After thinking for a moment, he responded: "Okay, we'll settle here."

Although the house is very old and the space is relatively depressing, it is in a good location and is a single-family building. Except for the flower bed at the door, which has some problems, the green environment nearby is pretty good!

Of course, the more important thing is the low price.

After it was confirmed, Dis quickly found the landlord and signed the contract.

Youxia paid four gold coins, of which three gold coins and eighty silver coins were rent, and twenty silver coins were the deposit.

After the landlord left, Youxia paid Dis a reward of one silver coin.

This kind of business is what Dis is most happy to do. Every time a transaction is made, not only can he receive a certain amount of remuneration from the customer, but he can also make another profit from the landlord. He can make a trip and talk about it in an afternoon at most.

Earning two silver coins is much more cost-effective than taking on other business!

After making money, you can go to the Flame Tavern for entertainment in the evening. Disco's cheekbones will rise to the sky. Before leaving, he did not forget to advertise to himself: "I have a wide network of contacts. If you have other needs in the future, whether it is hiring workers or decorating, you can help me."

You can come to me, I usually take business at South City Gate."

Youxia nodded to express understanding.

The store location has been decided, and it's getting dark soon.

After a busy afternoon and not having eaten yet, and having nothing else to do at the moment, Youxia went to the bakery opposite and bought a loaf of wheat bread for ten copper coins. She sat on the steps at the door and finished the tasteless bread while watching the street view.

When he returned to the house, he glanced at the shop next door. The door of the shop was closed, and a wooden sign was erected in front of the flower bed, with "Burnis Pharmacy" written on it in an unknown red liquid.

Youxia only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze without interest. After returning home, he went directly upstairs, spread the cloak he took off on the bed, and prepared to take a nap to recuperate.

The moonlight was like silver, and the cool night breeze blew through the window and onto the fair and smooth cheeks of the person on the bed.

You Xia turned over and was woken up by the hard bed.

He sat up, stared at the empty wall, and then put on his cloak and went downstairs.

The streets are silent late at night, the lights of the houses on both sides are out, the vision is dim, and the only light that guides people is the moonlight.

Standing in front of the rented shop, Youxia opened the game panel, clicked on the unlocked first-level shop, and the phantom of the small white building of the milk tea shop appeared again.

He tried to cast the shadow on the shop, but his eyes blurred. When he concentrated again, he saw that the short, old dilapidated house had turned into a small and elegant two-story white-painted building!

"Ah...this...change is so obvious!"

While marveling at the great transformation of the house, he also breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

Before that, he had been worried that the house he rented would be judged as not his property by the game, and when he placed the milk tea shop, a warning that "the land is illegal" would appear. Fortunately, this did not happen.

After the dust settled, Youxia felt comfortable and walked to the small building to admire her new store under the moonlight.

The renovated house has changed from the heavy wooden door facing the street to two adjacent glass doors at the corner. There is also a large floor-to-ceiling window beside the door. Through the window, you can see the white gauze curtain with lace embroidery inside, which is very elegantly arranged.

You Xia noticed that there was a "Closed" wooden sign hanging on the glass door, which gave him the illusion that he was at the entrance of a modern milk tea shop, and he felt a little melancholy for the first time after traveling through time.

But no matter what, You Xia is still very satisfied with the powerful operation of the game system.

It's just that the renovation of an old house overnight is a bit dreamy to the aborigines, and they have to find an excuse to get over it.

It’s not difficult to think about it. This is a Western fantasy. What’s impossible in the world of swords and magic?

"I am an elf now..." You Xia muttered and smiled suddenly.

Pushing the door open, the dim light reflects a complete set of milk tea shop facilities and machines.

As soon as the sealing machine is placed in the refrigerator, there will be an internal smell immediately!

There was a small switch next to the door. He raised his hand to turn on the switch and saw that the whole room was lit up, and the chandelier above cast a warm yellow light.
