Zhao Hai took the daizi and opened it and took a look. The staff was the best in his shop. The asking price was a thousand bells. The bells were actually the kind of shells. People here called them bells. A thousand bells. It’s 10,000 gold coins. Of course, this is the price in the general market. In fact, unless you are buying something particularly expensive, ordinary people will not use shells for transactions, because shells can help people practice. Even if someone gets the shell, he will save it.
Zhao Hai looked at these shells and scratched his head a little. He did not dare to put these shells in his own space, because as soon as they were placed in the space, they would be absorbed by the space. The shells contained a spiritual energy.
But this spiritual energy is of little use to Zhao Hai's space, because he is practicing all the time now, which means he is absorbing spiritual energy all the time, so he doesn't need shells to help him practice at all. These shells are placed in In space, if it is absorbed by space, it would be a complete waste.
Looking at the bag in his hand, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that he still had to refine a space magic weapon and then put these shells into the space magic weapon. Although this thing was really not of much use to him. , but with this thing, if you use it to trade in the future, it will be smoother.
Although it is said that a shell can be exchanged for ten gold coins here in the Ice Ocean Continent, that is only the public price. In fact, a shell here in the Ice Ocean Continent can definitely be exchanged for twelve to fifteen gold coins, because there are very few people. If you use shells to trade, the exchange rate between shells and gold coins will naturally be higher.
Zhao Hai put away the shells and took a look at the store. There were dozens of natural staffs in the store, which would be enough to sell for a while. However, these natural staffs ranged from a few gold coins to hundreds of bells, and the price was very high. The span is quite large.
But now his mind is no longer on this. In addition to understanding the terrain and power of the Five Spirit Realm, what he wants to know more is the strength of the people in the Five Spirit Realm. He wanted to know how the magic circle was used here in the Five Spirit World.
People here in the Five Spirit Realm can already use the space magic circle, so will they also have the existence of large magic weapons? If he has a large magic weapon, then to what extent their large magic weapon has developed is what Zhao Hai wants to know.
But he also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry because he had been here in the Five Spirit Realm for so long. I really haven't heard of anyone using a large magic weapon here, and I haven't seen a large magic weapon here in Aurora City. As for whether there is a large magic weapon here, I still have to wait for a closer look to find out.
Sitting in the shop boredly reading a book, he had long forgotten about Lin Qing's arrival. Although his staffs were all made by Lin Qing's staff, this was different from Lin Qing's arrival. There is no relationship anymore, so it is impossible for Lin Qing to know what the relationship between this staff and his staff is, so he naturally does not need to worry.
Just when Zhao Hai was reading. Suddenly there was a burst of noise outside, and Zhao Hai couldn't help but be startled, because he found that the sound was slowly approaching, as if it was coming towards him. Zhao Hai quickly put away the book and stood up. got up.
As soon as he stood up, a group of people came in from outside. These people were all wearing some black shorts, and everyone had a staff in their hands, of course. None of these staffs are natural staffs, and judging from the appearance of their staffs, they are not high-end goods, but there are quite a few of them. There were more than ten people in total.
As soon as these people entered the store, they all looked at everything in the store with unkind eyes. When they saw Zhao Hai coming up to him, the leader was in his thirties. He looked a little thin and had a gentle appearance. But Nian, whose triangular eyes shone like poisonous snakes, said to Zhao Hai in a deep voice: "Boy, does this shop belong to you?"
Zhao Hai has now disguised his appearance. He knows very well that his previous height and body shape are so amazing that others can remember them after just one look. This is very disadvantageous for him to come here for reconnaissance, so he The appearance I use now is what I used to look like before, average-looking, in his twenties, nothing special, the kind of person who can't be found in a crowd.
Looking at the appearance of these people, Zhao Hai almost knew what these people were doing. Wherever there is light, there will be darkness. The same is true in Aurora City. As far as Zhao Hai knows, there are several small people in Aurora City. Gangs, they all make a living by collecting protection fees from some shops, and the gang in charge of their area seems to be called the Skate Gang. It seems that this group of people is probably from the Skate Gang.
Zhao Hai quickly raised his fists at those people and said, "Yes, everyone, this store is mine. What do you guys think?"
The man looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Are you new here? Why haven't I seen you in this area before?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "I just came to Aurora City. I didn't do business in Aurora City before. My brother is an adventurer. When he was adventuring with some friends, he saw a spiritual tree and got it back. I want you to come here to buy these magic staffs, and at the same time, we will build a small shop to specialize in selling magic staffs. What do you need?"
When the man heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help but frown slightly. If people from gangs like them had to say who they didn't want to offend the least, the adventurers would definitely be at the top of the list. If they were locals, they wouldn't want to offend them at all. Don't be afraid, they are just scoundrels. There is a saying, isn't it true that a good man is worse than a scoundrel? They are scoundrels, so naturally they won't be afraid of you as a good man.
But adventurers are not heroes. Adventurers can be bodyguards, but they can also become robbers at any time. Moreover, all adventurers have nothing clean in their hands. Almost all of them have seen blood. The most important thing is that taking risks The mobility of adventurers is very high. They will change places after staying in a city for a period of time. However, gang members like them belong to the local area. If you bully the adventurers, they may fight you at any time, and then They just ran away, and there was nothing you could do against them. It was precisely because of this that the people in these gangs didn't want to provoke adventurers.
Zhao Hai said this on purpose. He knew very well that just relying on the name of an adventurer could not scare these people, but it could also save a lot of trouble. At least these people did not dare to deliberately find trouble with him. , he can give the money to you, because if you don’t give it, these people will keep pestering you. It's been annoying you, but if you don't use the name of adventurer to calm them down, then they obviously only charge one gold coin every month, but they dare to charge ten gold coins from you. And they will blackmail you from time to time.
But of course Zhao Hai would not let these people see that he said this on purpose. He just pretended not to know what to do to see what kind of reaction these people would have.
The man in black glanced at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice: "Boy, you said so. We won't embarrass you, let's do this. In our area, each store has to pay a certain amount every month according to the size of the store. Give us the protection fee. Your eldest brother is an adventurer, which means that your family is not doing well, and we are not such unreasonable people. From now on, your store will pay us three gold coins in protection fee every month. . I can guarantee that no one will come to your store to cause trouble, what do you think?"
When Zhao Hai heard what he said, he quickly said: "You all are men in the gang. This is easy to say. When I opened a grocery store, I also dealt with the men in the gang. I understand this rule. On the third day of every month I will pay you a gold coin on time, but please leave a name. If someone dares to come to the store to cause trouble in the future, I can give you your name and scare them. What do you guys think? "
The reason why Zhao Hai said this. Just because he has seen people in other stores dealing with these people, it is also the rule for him to call these people men, and it is also the rule to let these people leave their names. This is what he does. Just to let these people understand that he has never dealt with gang members, so that these people will be more afraid of him.
Sure enough, when Zhao Hai said this, the man in black nodded and said: "Yes, boy, I see you are also a man of rules. If someone comes here to cause trouble in the future, just tell them that they are the Venomous Snake Three from the Ice Blade Gang." Covering this place, if anyone comes to cause trouble in your store, or if something is lost, you can ask someone to come to me at the Ice Blade Restaurant, and I, Viper Three, will definitely help you solve it, boy, how about it? , you don’t lose these three gold coins, right?”
Zhao Hai hurriedly said: "It's not a loss, it's not a loss, Third Master, these are five gold coins, three are for this month's monthly allowance, and the other two are the money I spent to treat you brothers to drinks. I also ask Third Master to give you more in the future." Take care of me, take care of me, Third Master also knows that the shop has just opened, and this business has just been completed twice, so I can only treat you brothers to a glass of water and wine, Third Master, don’t be too little."
Viper Sanyi waved his hand and asked someone to take the five gold coins. He looked at Zhao Hai, his eyes couldn't help but wink, and a smile appeared on his face. He said in a deep voice: "Not bad, not bad, things will happen, let's do it together." As for the business information, that's it. If you have anything to do in the future, come to the Ice Blade Restaurant to find me. Brothers, let's go." After that, he led the Ice Blade Gang and left.
As soon as they arrived outside the store, one of Viper Three's men immediately said to Viper Three: "Third Master, the owner of this store seems to be very soft, and he has a lot of natural magic wands in his store, which are good things. "Third Master, do you want it?" After saying that, he scratched his neck, obviously planning to kill Zhao Hai and seize the store.
Poisonous Snake Three glared at him and said: "Don't give me such an idea, otherwise you will be killed. Didn't you listen to what he said? His brother is an adventurer, and adventurer's things are so dark. ? If things get really dark and his brother comes to take revenge on us, we will all be in danger. And you don’t know if you have noticed that although he is very polite to us, the rules in this area are very strict. , and he’s not afraid of us at all. What does this mean, don’t you understand? This means that he has had some contact with gang members before, and he is simply afraid of gang members. Now, please pay attention to him. The soul thing on his head is a tree soul. In other words, he is not from the Ice Ocean Continent, but most likely from the Tree Spirit Continent. He said that his brother is an adventurer, which means that he means Maybe his brother is a bandit from the tree spirit world. He comes to a place like this just to sell off his dirty work. If that's the case, then if we touch him, isn't it tantamount to seeking death? So don't worry about him. , we just need to collect our money and don’t offend him.”
The subordinate said with some confusion: "Third Master, if he really has that kind of background, why would he give us protection money? Ordinarily, desperadoes like them would ignore us at all."
Viper Three glanced at the other subordinates, and when he saw that the other subordinates were looking at him calmly, he said in a deep voice: "I'm just saying you guys have no brains. We gang members, don't look at those people who usually work in the gang." In front of the common people, we are all very arrogant, but in this business, we also need to have good eyesight. Who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked. You must be careful. If you are not careful, the consequences will be disastrous. In this Aurora City, Aren't there many gangs that have been eliminated because they offended people who shouldn't be offended? You still have a lot to learn. Take this store as an example. If he really doesn't understand anything, just come up and follow us. He's a bully, so I'm not afraid of him anymore. I'll hit him when I need to, and smash him when I need to hit him. But the more polite he is and the more he understands the rules, we can't touch him."
At this point, Viper Three paused and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, if you are bandits and you need a place to sell your dirty stuff, then you will pay some money and sell your dirty stuff safely. Or should we start a fight with the gang and let everyone know that there is such a store, and make the whole city a storm? So the more people like this, the less we can offend them, do you understand? "
When those people heard what he said, they quickly said: "I understand, Third Master."
Viper Three nodded and said in a deep voice: "And you guys, you didn't notice that person's expression at all just now. The person didn't have any surprised expression just now, which proves that he already knew that we would collect the money. He has no fearful expression, which means that he is not afraid of us at all. A person like this either has strength or power, so we must not be careful when facing such people in the future. Don’t provoke me if you provoke me, do you understand?”
When those subordinates heard what Venomous Snake Three said, they quickly responded: "I understand, thank you Third Master for teaching me regrets."
Viper Three nodded and said in a deep voice: "When you return to this store in the future, you have to be careful and don't let people come here to cause trouble. Then we will see how the things they sell in the future are like, and we should also pay attention to this store." What is the people's attitude towards doing business? If what they sell in the future is really a magic wand, there is no need to pay too much attention. If they appear very anxious because the business is not good, it proves that they are not a den for that robber. If they are here to sell dirt, if they don’t care at all about whether the business is good or not, and are not worried even if the business is not good, it means there must be something wrong with their background, and they must not be messed with. Not only will we not mess with them in the future, He still has to find a way to establish a relationship with them. If we can also help them do something dirty, then we will have another way to make money, do you understand?" (To be continued.)
