The banquet for the heads of the top ten gangs in various villages and Wuwei City ended in a tense atmosphere. The heads of the top ten gangs were still holding on the surface, but they all knew in their hearts that the situation had reached this point and it was irreparable, and they did not have effective means to stop the defeat. The only thing they could do was to minimize the losses of the gangs as much as possible and find a way out.

The banquet dispersed. Zhan Xiaobai left Zuixiang Tower and went directly to the NPC Zhao Martial Arts Hall in Dongcheng District with Zhou Meng and several players from Xiaobai Village.

The Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall, the martial arts hall opened by Zhao Wu's father, is a civilian martial arts hall. It is a large courtyard house with a training ground in the middle, a row of wing rooms on the inner side, and a training room and a weapon warehouse on both sides.

Now this martial arts hall has become a safe stronghold for players in Xiaobai Village in Wuwei City. You can safely go online and offline here, and you don’t have to worry about being suddenly attacked by other villages or gangs next time you go online.

At this time, at the gate of the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall, more than a dozen players from Xiaobai Village and NPC guards from the martial arts hall were guarding. Inside and outside the martial arts hall, it was very lively, and the team of players from Xiaobai Village came in and out.

Zhan Xiaobai entered the martial arts hall, Zhao Wu and his father came out to greet him in person, as well as the young heroes of Chunqiu, Cheng Jian and others.

Zhao Wu's father was very excited. He was a little Min for his life, and it was rare for an official to come to the martial arts hall. Moreover, this official was his son's boss. He quickly pleased him and said, "Xiao Min Zhao, I have met the adults. Thank you for your cultivation of the child! Wuer, you are a little promising now, but remember to repay the adults!"

Zhao Wu said yes in succession.

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "No need to be polite. We will lend you your martial arts school to use, which will cause you a lot of trouble."

Zhao Wu's father quickly said, "I dare not, but I dare not, the little people are willing to serve the adults. If you want to use this martial arts master, you can use it, and there is nothing to do."

Zhan Xiaobai asked the young heroes of Chunqiu, Cheng Jian, Zhao Wu and more than ten other players, to sit down on the stone bench in the middle of the training ground, and asked: "Young hero, how is the situation in Wuwei City now?"

The young hero of Chunqiu said: "Now the entire Wuwei City is under the control of dozens of villages. Our territory is Dongcheng District. Most of the streets and markets in this area have been controlled by more than 3,000 players in our village, Wutong Village, and Hubao Village, and a few places are filled by the forces of small villages. The gangs that were originally entrenched here were the territory of the Blue Devil Gang, Shanhai Gang and several small gangs, but now they have been expelled from this area. These gangs have lost their territory and probably won't last long. In addition, Xicheng District and the four major markets outside the city have been divided up by more than 30 other medium-sized villages. From the territory, our village, Wutong Village and Hubao Village occupy the largest territory, and the three villages occupy the Dongcheng District. Because we do not have enough manpower, we have temporarily stopped expanding the territory."

Zhan Xiaobai nodded: "Well. It will take some time to digest and consolidate this Dongcheng District territory. There is no need to conflict with other villages. Don't rush to expand the territory. There must be a large number of gang players who have left the gang in the near future. One of the important tasks now is to absorb a small number of elite troops and let them join our village. I had already talked with Xiaoyaosheng not long ago, hoping to let his Xiaoyao Gang invest as a whole in my Xiaobai Village."

The young man in Chunqiu lit up his eyes and said in surprise: "The Second Gang of Wuwei City? There are many masters in this gang. If they voted, our strength may skyrocket."

Zhan Xiaobai said: "I hope that, he is considering this matter now. In addition to the Xiaoyao Gang, you go to other gangs these days. If you can win over, try to win over. If you are willing to vote for them as a whole, you can give them some preferential conditions and become a legion in Xiaobai Village alone."

"Okay, I'll do it now!"

After the young man from Chunqiu said that, he took a group of people out.

Zhan Xiaobai, Zhao Wu, Zhou Meng and several others were shopping in the Dongcheng District controlled by Xiaobai Village.

On this day, the public security situation inside and outside Wuwei City was declining greatly. Large groups of players shouted and killed, causing trouble and fighting everywhere. Even many NPC civilians were so scared that they dared not go out. This situation was not until the afternoon when the various forces in the city were basically settled, and large-scale conflicts disappeared, so the players stopped.

In the evening, the streets and markets returned to normal, and the NPCs also came out to stroll around with peace of mind.

Most of the players in Dongcheng District are now from Xiaobai Village, Wutong Village, and Hubao Village. Zhan Xiaobai is not worried about any attacks he will encounter here. Moreover, he has set his rebirth point in the Zhao Martial Arts Hall.

Zhan Xiaobai and others walked around a street and arrived at a market. Many NPCs traded and sold goods here. The things they sold almost included various daily necessities, vegetables, fruits, grain, agricultural tools, ceramics, and even some low-end weapons. In the eyes of players, the price was a little more expensive, but it was acceptable.

Zhao Wu introduced to Zhan Xiaobai: "Sir, this is the NPC trading market in Dongcheng District. It is mainly for civilians to buy and sell, so it is of low quality. High-end items are usually only available in street shops."

There are also a small number of businessmen and players setting up stalls here and selling items to NPCs.

Zhan Xiaobai came to a street stall of a merchant player and looked at the goods. They were all items that were exposed by wild beasts such as fur, meat, etc. Because they were sold to NPC, the price was higher than that of the player market outside the city. The profit was naturally higher.

He asked the businessman strangely, "Can players set up stalls here? Do they earn more copper coins?"

The businessman player obviously did not recognize Zhan Xiaobai. He rolled his eyes at the question asked by Zhan Xiaobai and said, "Of course you can set up a stall, but the government here needs to collect taxes and the gang will also charge protection fees. You can get a small part of the money yourself. Brother, do you also want to set up a stall here? It is best to have a road guide, otherwise the daily cost of entering and leaving the city gate will be enough for you."

Zhan Xiaobai asked with interest: "I want to set up a stall, but it depends on whether I can make money. If you earn more, set up a stall here. By the way, how to collect taxes from the government and taxes from the gang? How many copper coins can you earn in a day here?"

The businessman player saw Zhan Xiaobai dressed in a cloth dress and didn't look like a rich man, but the two NPCs behind Zhan Xiaobai seemed a little powerful. He couldn't figure out what Zhan Xiaobai came from, and he was puzzled and said, "The government's tax deduction is 30% of the transaction amount, which is better than robbery. The gang will be slightly better, and you have to collect 100 copper coins a day. How much money can be made depends on what goods you buy, and the price is not cheap. If there is no cheap purchasing channel, then you'd better set up a stall outside the city, and you'll have to lose money here."

Zhan Xiaobai was surprised, "30% tax? Is the tax in Wuwei City so high?"

The businessman player said: "A piece of cheap venison on the market outside the city sells 10 yuan. If you sell it here to NPC, you can sell it for 20 yuan, which is twice as much. Deducting the tax of 6 yuan can get 4 copper coins more than outside the city. If you can sell 50 yuan of venison a day, you will get 200 yuan more copper. The 200 copper scores 100 yuan of copper to the gang, and the rest will be yours."

Zhan Xiaobai estimated that there are thousands of stalls in the entire trade market, most of which are NPC civilians, with less than dozens of players. Players have great potential for doing business here. Just the protection fee, there are also several banknotes of money in a day.

Doing business here is more than earning in a village. In a village, it is good to earn 50 copper a day. Moreover, after earning in the village, copper coins are circulated among players, but here is the money from earning NPC, which can increase the total amount of copper coins in the hands of players.

If the items produced in Xiaobai Village are sold here, they should be able to buy them at a very good price. The NPC market here is very large.

He said: "If you can earn 100 copper a day here, it's good. If you can buy a high-end piece of equipment of 100 copper, it should be more money than leveling up. If the business is good, you can even get more."

The businessman player said: "Yes, if you are lucky, you may have 100 copper. If you are not lucky, you will lose all your capital."

Zhan Xiaobai was surprised: "What?"

The merchant player said: "The security level in Wuwei City is not high, so there is a certain chance that this market will randomly appear NPC gangsters and NPC Rangers will ask you for money for wine or ask for goods. If you don't give it, hehe, you will have good fruits to eat. All money and goods will be stolen."

Zhan Xiaobai was speechless, and he was playing gangsters in the market? Isn’t this openly acting like a hooligan?

He asked, "Does the gang ignore the yamen runners?"

The merchant player said helplessly: "The yamen runners don't care about these NPC gangsters. The gang players dare not fight here, and they will be arrested by the yamen runners as soon as they fight. Therefore, the gang players are only responsible for collecting protection fees and are not responsible for protection. Therefore, there is a high risk of doing business here. There is too little capital and I dare not sell things here for fear of losing money. Moreover, it is not just NPCs that can rob merchants, but players of small gangs will also come to rob. I think you are quite good at setting up a stall here. If you really want to set up a stall here, it is best to find a big gang to be your backer, otherwise it will be easy to be robbed. It's nothing if the level is lost, but it will be difficult to earn back if the money is lost."

Zhan Xiaobai nodded, patted the merchant player on the shoulder and smiled: "Thank you brother, you don't have to pay the protection fee these three days! I will find a way to rectify the public security order in Dongcheng District and try to ensure the safety of merchant players in Dongcheng..."

Zhan Xiaobai greeted Zhao Wu, Zhou Meng and the others, left the trade market and prepared to visit other places. He had not been to many places in Wuwei City yet.

The businessman player looked at Zhan Xiaobai's back in shock. Who is this young player? Why do you speak bigger than the bosses of the Blue Devil Gang and the Shanhai Gang!... Can't he be the legendary super boss... Xiaobai?
