"I bought a watch last year!" Tang Ping yelled: "This is called a mission? Ah? This is called a mission? What do you think this is called a mission?"
"Isn't this what you want to answer yourself?" the system said.
"Then if I don't accept this mission, will it be sent to me?"
"Of course I can!" the system said honestly.
Tang Ping was speechless. He knew that the system was a trap, but he didn't expect it to be this trap.
What's the mission this time?
“Save the convenience store branch.”
The mission description is: the convenience store branch has a huge deficit, please turn it into a profit within three months, otherwise the convenience store branch will be closed.
The reward for completing the task is: the convenience store branch can continue to be retained.
That is to say, Tang Ping cannot get any benefits from this task. On the contrary, if it cannot be completed, the convenience store branch in Nara will be closed.
"Why do I have a deficit?" Tang Ping asked unconvinced.
"The five hundred dollars you participated in the auction yesterday were funds for the convenience store branch."
"What? Is that considered the funds of the convenience store branch?" Tang Ping was a little confused: "Then what about the money I spent in Chang'an? Why is it not included in the convenience store."
"Forget it, you have always been profitable in Chang'an. Aren't you making more and more money?" The system said confidently.
"Then..." Tang Ping tried to find the bug in the system: "When I first arrived in Chang'an, a lot of things were given away. It should have been a deficit at that time, right?"
"No, host, have you forgotten? When you first arrived in Chang'an, how much food did you exchange for a bottle of wine? That bottle of wine was worth dozens of yuan, and the food was worth nearly ten thousand, so you have been in the convenience store of Datang It’s profitable, and the profit margins are pretty impressive.”
The system said with some seriousness: "Host, after so many years, have you forgotten that I am actually the convenience store space-time system. Only by building a good convenience store can you get more help from me."
Tang Ping was speechless for a while: "Then if I bring luxury goods from Datang to sell them, can I fill this hole?"
"It can't be filled. Convenience stores don't support the sale of luxury goods."
"Where did I bring the money back from Chang'an?"
"You can't bring it with you, because now the profitability of the branch has been questioned. You can only buy goods from Chang'an and sell them until you turn a profit."
"What if I ask the big dealer in Nara Castle to clear out the inventory directly for me?"
"That will directly sentence you to cheating and fail the mission!" The system said: "You may not know yet, but now it has begun to spread in Nara City that you are a descendant of an aristocratic family who came to Nara for a trial. If they come directly to clean up the inventory, it will cause Your mission failed."
"Now the entire Nara City or Fuso high-level officials want to make friends with you, so they won't do that." After the system finished speaking, he added: "But they are just buying daily necessities normally, which is fine."
Tang Ping rubbed his forehead: "Those strange rumors don't have anything to do with you, right?"
"you guess?"
"Holy shit!" Tang Ping scolded, "You just see that I've been too comfortable lately and you want to trick me!"
The system pretended to be dead again at this time, and Tang Ping had no choice. He originally thought that the system might be able to give him something new during this mission, but it turned out to be such a sinkhole.
Moreover, even if you don't accept the task, it will be forcibly posted to you. However, the system will trick you and ask you whether you accept it before sending it to you.
Now he has no choice but to follow the system's instructions and save the branch system first. He has seen the system interface.
The current Nara branch inside is the first branch, and there is a second branch and a third branch behind it, all of which are gray.
If his Nara branch is closed and he is not allowed to open other branches in the future, then he will cry to death.
This branch is equivalent to his local stronghold or fortress, which can protect his safety to the greatest extent.
"It's a meeting, it's a meeting!" Tang Ping had no choice but to call everyone in the convenience store over.
He concealed things about the system, and then told him that the convenience store must make money.
"Sir, didn't you ask me to make that Oden cooking? I'm already ready. Today I asked Brother Cui and Brother Du to help me set up another stall in front of the convenience store, and then we can open it."
"Selling our seasonings directly is definitely not as cost-effective as selling them after they are cooked!"
Xiao Luo was the first to stand up and support Tang Ping. She supported Tang Ping's decision no matter what time he made it.
"Then I'll be responsible for making meatballs!" Lao Cui waved his hand: "Just enough to move around."
"I think we can also make some sausages!" Lao Du has a special liking for sausages: "By then, both raw and cooked ones will be sold together."
"Master, you can make some leaflets. I will take Toyotomi Hideyoshi to distribute them in the city, and I can also get a lot of information." Midori said with a smile.
"I..." Li Bai took a step slowly, thought for a moment and said, "Then I can only write a letter for you at the door."
Although Fuso has been studying the Tang Dynasty, the popularity of writing is still far behind that of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, many migrant workers in Nara Castle will ask others to write letters to their families to report that they are safe.
"You said that the words I wrote will also be auctioned when the time comes, right?" Li Bai asked, and everyone laughed.
Yesterday he came back and told everyone about Tang Ping auctioning off the homework done by Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai, which made everyone laugh so hard that they almost died.
Everyone felt that this was something that could be sold for a lot of money in Fuso but was worthless in Datang.
Because these two "cowards" were brought back to Datang to be sold. Who among the rich people in Datang didn't know the reputation of these two "cowards"?
Even though there are so many appraisal seals on it, one would only think that the two of them had done it secretly, but they would never think that the calligraphy and painting of the Tang Dynasty would recognize their "works".
That's all Tang Ping could think of now. He tapped the items in the convenience store. One row was the seasoning section, which mainly included refined salt, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and spicy oil produced by Datang.
One row is the food area, which mainly contains various candies, some pasta that has been left for a long time, and tea and wine produced in Datang.
There is also a row of daily necessities area, including some needlework and tools such as nails and hammers.
The most valuable thing is probably the row of daily chemical products area inside, which contains shampoo, soap, soap, laundry detergent, etc., all produced locally in Datang.
All these things can only be afforded by the middle class and above in Nara.
Fortunately, Tang Ping knew that other sellers of these things in the city had to ship them by sea, so the cost was high.
And what he here is considered to be the manufacturer's ex-factory price, and there is no shipping fee, so he can keep the price lower. From this point of view, it seems that it is not difficult to complete the system task within three months.
