Chapter 40: Fire Cloud View
However, when I arrived at the back hall, when I wrote the four words "Hundred Ghost Yasha" on the document with a brush, the money in the backpack was reduced by 200,000 yuan, and the system also sent me a message informing me to obtain the management rights of Tianyi Pawnshop and become the shopkeeper.
Alas, the shopkeeper is not the big boss after all, and he has the right to operate, but it does not mean that this pawnshop is mine. However, I can use this business right to hire NPCs, rebuild the pawnshop layout, modify the display of items, formulate the minimum price, and determine the handling fee for various items; and in addition, I can directly purchase items and sell items through Li Shuisheng. Every month, I can withdraw 10% of the dividends from the pure profit of the pawnshop, or use this bonus to expand the scale of the pawnshop, or increase investment.
Although power is useful, it is not omnipotent. The handling fee is set to high, so players would rather set up stalls than sell things here. The handling fee is set to low. I have no money to make money, but instead, many players who like speculation take advantage of loopholes. Fortunately, the system is not completely ignored. We have at least one old man Li in our hands who can provide advice. If I don’t want to manage, I can change the option to self-operate, and I just sit and eat interest.
However, since I spent a full 200,000 yuan to buy the operating rights of this pawn shop, of course I wouldn’t just sit and eat interest. The so-called right does not need to expire and be invalidated.
There were still Li Er and Li Xiao and Li Shuisheng in the store, but I also hired ten NPC guards of level 50 to avoid any stolen incidents. I also made corresponding adjustments to the handling fees for goods on the shelves and various items.
First of all, I reduced the handling fee for the agency sales to 1%. In this way, as long as players do not want to waste time, most of them are willing to put things here to sell.
Secondly, I increased the handling fee for purchasing equipment to 5%, which means buying things worth 100 yuan. In fact, I have to pay 105 yuan. The purpose of doing this is of course to store a large amount of goods first so that I can control and balance the prices.
Third, I handed over the remaining 100,000 taels of gold on my body to Li Shuisheng, and drew a line from the previous material price targets. All materials that were lower than this price were immediately purchased and then put on the shelves at a unified price.
Fourth, all equipment above magical instruments are concentrated and placed on the shelves in categories; if you encounter equipment above spiritual instruments, you need to hold a large-scale auction, issue a system announcement, and make a price increase.
Fifth. Any unidentified equipment, as long as it is not outrageously expensive, will be purchased directly at no charge and will be priced after I appraise it.
After doing this, I felt like I was a few years older suddenly. It seemed that I was used to shy my hands before. I wonder if Yunyun was tired of taking care of the Devil's House for us in the west.
In addition to the five points I explained, the pawnshop is carried out normally according to the original business model. As for teaching Li Shuisheng's Tianyan technique, hehe, at worst, let him follow him when appraising equipment. I will tell him what Mr. Yuan said to us intact and it will be OK.
I wonder if I can invite Mr. Yuan to our pawn shop to sit in the formation after I practice the Earth and Heaven Eyes to a certain level.
Whether we can make money depends on our luck. However, after paying 300,000 yuan in vain, we have a ready-made cheap one to pick up. That is, our boss, who bought a room of my own on the second floor of this pawn shop. I can go there to rest at any time and store some personal belongings, which is much more convenient than the safe deposit box in the money shop. At least there is no need to pay the management fee.
"Okay, let me leave everything here to you. I still have something to do. I'll notify me if I have something to do." I said to the old man Li, he can send us a message anyway.
"Since that's the case, please forgive me for not giving it to me." Old Man Li smiled treacherously and made a gesture of asking for help.
Li Shuisheng also bent down, bowed to us, and said respectfully: "Master, walk slowly."
When I walked to the door, Li Er and Li Xiao had a charming smile on their faces. I said one sentence from the left to walk slowly, and another sentence from the big shopkeeper to walk slowly, which made me feel goosebumps all over my body.
The people here are much worse than those of NPCs in our Devil House.
As soon as I stepped out of the door, two players came into the pawnshop. I heard one of them whisper, "That guy must be very rich."
"How do you know he has money?" Another player turned around and looked at me and asked strangely: "You have neither traded with him nor added friends with him, nor even said a word, and he did not make his name public. You don't even know what other people's name is, can you still know if he has money?"
"Hehe, who said I don't know his name? Didn't you hear it just now?" The player smiled and said, "When he went out, those two NPCs called him the big shopkeeper. You also know that only those two NPCs would be disbursed by customers who bought a lot of things, so the one named the big shopkeeper must be a rich man."
"Someone actually gave this name? It's really strange."
"What's so strange about this? I've seen someone call me a sucker."
...Why do I think these two people are talking about me? Why do I always become the object of discussion among others?
They can control other people's legs and their mouths. They can say whatever they like. Even if they search the entire Eastern continent, they are afraid they can't find a player called Dashangguan.
I got off the line and transferred a million cash from my private account to the game. This time, I was a big shopkeeper in front of me, and how could I not bring enough money on me? Could it be that I could not buy the best products and I still have to borrow it from the territory? That guy couldn't spit out ivory in his mouth, and I wonder how many hats I had to choreograph me.
I sent a message to the territory, telling him that I had transferred the money back to his bank account and asked him to keep this secret strictly. However, the territory still believed that I had encountered something on a special occasion in the system, so I patted my chest and promised me that I would never tell anyone else.
No matter what he thinks, I'll continue to do my tasks.
I remember Huo Jia said that Huoyun Temple is in the south of Chengdu. I packed up my things and walked slowly towards the south of the city. Unfortunately, the ghost clan has no horses to ride, I miss our Xiao Hei. I miss our Xiao Jin, and my four-winged Black Dragon Princess...
After walking for about an hour, I finally saw a forest. A group of NPC guards guarded outside the forest, holding spears and looking like a stranger's coin on the face.
"What's going on here?" I walked up and asked. Looking at this formation, wouldn't it be that people would pass by?
"Can't you watch it yourself?" A npc tilted his mouth to the side without blinking, and said coldly.
Damn! What a fun thing.
I walked to the side and saw a wooden sign tied to a tree with a notice posted: "Because the south of the city has been haunted recently. Anyone who enters and leaves without authorization will be responsible for his life and death." The name below is Chengdu Prefecture.
This government is really interesting to do things, you can be responsible for your own life and death. That's all, you don't have to worry about it. Why do you have to guard these guards here? It wouldn't be better to go home early to hold your wife.
I shook my head, ignored the guards, and continued to walk deep into the woods.
I regretted it after leaving for a while. Why didn’t I ask clearly? The direction of the Fire Cloud Temple is? Now the forest is so dense, it’s normal that there is no trace at all. I don’t know when to find it.
Until I walked out of the woods, I realized that the atmosphere around me had changed.
The gray-yellow land was full of cracked holes. When the cold wind blew, the yellow sand rack flew everywhere with yellow paper cut into copper coins. Several crows parked on the old trees stared at the exposed thick bones on the ground coldly, and occasionally let out a few creepy screams.
Why does this place look more and more like a mass grave outside the hero's tomb? Even I, a ghost, feel cold when I walk here.
Is this the way to Huoyun Temple? You have to find someone to ask.
"What does this smell? Why is it so smelly..." I was covering the worker and looking around, looking around, suddenly I felt the vest cold, as if something was coming over.
When I turned my head and saw a level 10 ghoul pounced towards me with his teeth and claws. The rotten smell emitted from his body could really kill the living person.
Dare to provoke your grandpa and me!
Even the Red Cloud Umbrella was useless. I turned my head and just wrote the soul-cleaning spell. I took a few steps back and then added a Tianhuo Mantra. The thick-food ghost lay on the ground without a few thrusts, and thick decay liquid flowed out of my body.
The smell is even stronger...
I decided to go one direction and continued to walk south. I killed many ghouls along the way, and occasionally there were a few resentful spirits. Finally, I saw several Taoist priests teaming up to kill monsters.
Alas, why do we say that these zombies and resentful spirits belong to the ghost clan, and they are also considered to be the same clan as me. But there is no way, who made our Taoist priest’s duty to catch ghosts and collect monsters? Let’s accept our fate.
I pulled the cowl hat on my head, stepped forward and said to one of the players who were meditating and returning to the blue land, "Brother, let me know something about it. How to get to Huoyun Temple."
The Taoist priest looked up and looked at me, and said, "Are you here to become a disciple? Let's kill ghosts here first and get some talisman paper. This is the item you need for the entry-level mission. You can fight first, so you can avoid running up and down for a while."
"Thank you for your reminder, but I'm not here to become a disciple, but to do other tasks," I explained.
"That's right." The Taoist priest stood up, patted the straw on his butt, pointed in a direction and said, "You walk there, and when you encounter a river, you will find a boatman and ask him to send you over. After crossing the river, you can see a mountain gate, and then go up to it to Huoyun Temple."
I said thank you again and turned my head to walk in the direction he pointed.
After walking a few steps, the Taoist priest shouted behind me: "Don't pay attention to the Taoist priests at the door."
I turned around and looked at him, and saw that he had already started to fight monsters. I shrugged inexplicably and continued to move towards the target.
Soon I found the Dihe River that the player mentioned and hired a small boat to send me across the river. When I got ashore, the resentment scene across the river had already disappeared.
A magnificent mountain gate is located at the entrance of the mountain, with a couplet engraved on the left and right stone pillars: "The deep water of the Nine Ponds hides the blessed land, and the fire clouds are destined to be a person outside the sky." There is a glass golden plaque in the middle, with the three big words "Huoyun Temple" written in cursive script.
The wide and neat stone steps of the mountain gate lead directly to the top of the mountain. The clouds and mists are floating in the middle of the mountain, but you can vaguely see the spectacular scene of the flying eaves and the throne of the Fire Cloud Temple.
It’s really a matter of damn it, but it’s a matter of damn it.
They are all Taoist priests, so why are they so magnificent when they become disciples? Look at my Master Guiyun. He set up a stall on the side of the road and there were ghosts coming to smash them every few days. He still doesn’t even have a decent sign, but it is still supported by the rotten cloth banner.
I sighed, who said we were a ghost?
Just as he was about to walk up the mountain, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe, a sunset bun, and a beard with a stunning beard walked up to me with great strides, waved the whisk in his hand, nodded and said, "Would you like to visit the mountain or visit here?"
Anywhere to visit?
I gave the Taoist priest a blank look and said angrily: "Here's here to do business."
Just as he was about to leave, the Taoist priest followed up and said with a smile on his face: "Who is this fellow Taoist who is he looking for and what are you doing?"
"I'm looking for Taoist Priest Huoyun... Why are you asking so much?" I turned my head and stared at the Taoist Priest who was in trouble.
The Taoist priest laughed and said, "Ah, then you've found the right person, I'm the one..."
"Are you Taoist Master Huoyun?" I looked at the Taoist priest in front of me with a slanted eye. There was a plaster on my forehead on my right side. It was even more like a liar than my Master Guiyun, and he didn't look like a master.
"How dare you?" the Taoist priest said quickly: "I am the Taoist who is the guest in Huoyun Temple, and I will give you a guide."
Huh! This Huoyun Temple is really grand, and there is someone at the door responsible for guiding you.
I looked up and looked up. It was just a straight mountain road. I could not walk down the mountain even if I closed my eyes. Is it necessary for someone to lead the way?
But since the Taoist priest insisted on following, I had no choice. Moreover, he kept explaining the origins of the scenery and some legends for me along the way, so that the long mountain road was not so boring.
