Chapter 172
Bing Ning'er led Yu Ye towards the City Lord's Mansion in the desert city. She still remembered that when she fled there last time, her first impression when she saw the City Lord's Mansion was, what a magnificent building! But when she came to the City Lord's Mansion again, she found that the magnificent City Lord's Mansion had turned into a pile of broken bricks and broken walls , especially the gate, which seemed to have been damaged by the group of monsters behind her when she fled last time.
As the two of them walked inside again, Bing Ning'er's mouth twitched more and more, especially when she saw that the main building of the City Lord's Mansion, which originally had four floors, was razed to the ground. She looked ahead with a bitter face, and Yu Ye beside her curled his lips at this time, and said with a gloating look on his face: "I can't believe it... It turns out that the City Lord's Mansion in the Desert City actually occupies such a large area. I wonder how much it will cost to renovate it ..." How much will it cost to renovate it? ? ?
That's right... Bing Ning'er also thought of this problem. Just looking at the current state of the City Lord's Mansion... How much money would it cost to renovate it? ? ? Originally, she didn't plan to renovate the City Lord's Mansion, and wanted to put the renovation of the City Lord's Mansion at the last step, but because Yu Ye, the guy next to her, said in a lukewarm way that if the Desert City was to be renovated, the first thing to be renovated would be the City Lord's Mansion.
After her desert city was up and running, all the taxes that players had to pay to the city shops had to be handled by the City Lord's Mansion. If she couldn't even handle the City Lord's Mansion, how could she collect the money? ? ? Wouldn't all her hard work be in vain? ? ?
But the problem was… if she repaired the vast ruins of the City Lord's Mansion, wouldn't the more than 10 million gold coins in her pocket be gone without even a splash? This was all her property now…
When she thought of this, Bing Ning'er looked at Yu Ye beside her with a bitter look on her face, and asked with a look of confusion and pain: "Do we have to renovate the City Lord's Mansion first? Can we renovate an office first, and then finish the rest later?"
Yu Ye glanced at her casually. Knowing what she was thinking, he raised his thin lips and said, "No...it must be completely renovated, but...you can actually use this City Lord's Mansion to make some money..." He glanced at the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion with a hint of something.
Bing Ning'er was a little confused. She renovated the City Lord's Mansion for the purpose of players paying taxes in the future, but what did it mean to use the City Lord's Mansion to make a little money? Could she open the City Lord's Mansion to players for sightseeing and charge them a tourist fee? Or turn the vast City Lord's Mansion into a hotel and let other players come to the City Lord's Mansion... come... come and stay? ? ?
Just when she thought of the latter part, Bing Ning'er suddenly had an idea in her mind, and she looked at Yu Ye beside her in disbelief. Could it be that what this guy just said about making a little fortune actually meant that she could use the City Lord's Mansion to make some other small money? ? ?
However, if the City Lord's Mansion is converted into an inn, a room in an inn outside costs one thousand gold coins per night. If her City Lord's Mansion... charges 1,500 gold coins, there should still be players who will come to stay, right?
After all, in other main cities, many players need to look up to the City Lord's Mansion. What's more, she has converted the City Lord's Mansion into a hotel, allowing everyone to live in it as long as they pay. On the one hand, this satisfies the curiosity of the players, and on the other hand, it allows her, who is financially constrained, to have a considerable income. This is simply the best of both worlds. I just don't know if things will be as good as imagined if she really takes action.
"You say...if I convert the City Lord's Mansion into a hotel, will the business be more prosperous?" Bing Ning'er thought for a long time before turning her head to look at Yu Ye beside her and asked. After all, this guy reminded her, and now if she asked him to give her a better suggestion, he shouldn't be stingy, right?
Yu Ye raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bing Ning'er, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Originally, his proposal was just to let her open the City Lord's Mansion to the public and let her collect sightseeing fees from players. He didn't expect that she would be even more ruthless than him and actually wanted to convert the City Lord's Mansion into a hotel. This idea is not a bad idea.
"Business should be good. After all, there are many players taking a break in the game now, and the Desert City is located in the high-level leveling area. When the players come here to level up, if they use the teleportation array to go back and forth to other cities to rest, the teleportation fee will be a considerable amount. It is better to just spend money to rest here, and... they can also visit the buildings in the City Lord's Mansion. After all, this is still a more attractive factor." Yu Ye expressed his thoughts very sincerely at this time, and even glanced at the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion over there. He had already begun to help Bing Ning'er calculate how much money would be needed to repair the City Lord's Mansion.
Yu Ye learned from Jun Mo Xie that Bing Ning'er had taken more than 15 million gold coins from him, which meant that she could use more than 15 million gold coins now. The City Lord's Mansion was so dilapidated... It would cost at least 10 million gold coins to repair it. After all, when his last City Lord's Mansion was burned down by the troublemaker at home and half of it became a mere shell, he had already spent about 5 million gold coins just to repair half of it. Moreover, his mansion was not as large as the City Lord's Mansion in the desert city...
"Are you interested in finding a financial partner?" Yu Ye thought that Bing Ning'er might not have enough funds. After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned his head to look at Bing Ning'er who was frowning beside him and asked casually.
Uh…fund partner???
Bing Ning'er looked up at Yu Ye in confusion. What did he mean by financial partner? Did he have a friend who wanted to invest in his own city? She remembered that Yu Ye seemed to have said at the beginning that if there was anything about the Desert City, he could find her. Could this be it? ? ?
"What financial partner?" Bing Ning'er asked with a raised eyebrow.
Yu Ye lowered his eyelids slightly, and a strange look flashed across his handsome face hidden under the mask. He raised his thin lips and said, "It's like this... You know that I'm actually quite familiar with the mayor of Luo City. He knows that Desert City will definitely become a relatively powerful city in the future, so he intends to invest in Desert City at this time. Are you interested in having another financial partner???"
When Bing Ning'er heard this, she touched her chin thoughtfully. She knew the fact that the Lord of Luocheng was rich. After all, she now knew very clearly that the Lord of Luocheng was actually Fu Yeyu, the president of Shengyu Game Company in reality. If he had no money, there would probably be few rich people in this game.
But why did he want to invest money in his desert city for no reason? ? ? Did he know something, and he planned to use the money to tie her down to avenge her last time she molested him? ?
But... she is really short of money now. The mayor of Luo City still owes her a shop. She will have to face that guy sooner or later. Since he has taken the initiative to give her money, how can she be stupid enough to refuse? She even hopes to blackmail him more!
But the question is...if that guy knew that I was the lord of the Desert City, would he still say that he wanted to invest funds in the Desert City?
After thinking for a while, Bing Ning'er turned her head to look at Yu Ye beside her, bit her lip and asked, "The Lord of Luo City, does he know that I am the Lord of Desert City?"
"Well... he knows that the lord of the Desert City is Bing Ning'er!" A cunning look flashed in Yu Ye's black eyes under the mask, and he nodded and said calmly.
Bing Ning'er was a little confused at the moment. Yu Ye said that the other party knew that the city lord of the Desert City was Bing Ning'er. So did the other party know that Bing Ning'er was himself? Or, Fu Yeyu wanted to make up for the fact that Bing Ning'er, the player, had lost her pet, so he wanted to invest funds. Then...
Ouch, what a headache!!!
Bing Ning'er felt a headache at the moment and didn't know what to do for a moment. She wanted the funds from the Lord of Luo City, but she was afraid that the guy would turn against her after seeing her. She was melancholy for a while.
While Bing Ning'er was struggling with her dilemma, Yu Ye beside her had already calculated the approximate cost of renovating the City Lord's Mansion in the Desert City and said, "If you want to renovate the City Lord's Mansion and the courtyard behind it together, the cost will be 11 million!"
When she heard that the courtyard at the back also needed to be renovated, her first reaction was to refuse. However, when she thought that if the courtyard at the back could also be converted into an inn, it would increase her income, she stopped refusing and instead carefully asked Yu Ye how to renovate it. After all, she only knew that renovations cost money, but after having the money...how should she renovate the city? ? ? ?
Bing Ning'er was completely at a loss about this question. Finally, after Yu Ye's explanation, she realized that there was a city repair function in her city management page, and there were many place options, such as... the current City Lord's Mansion.
After Bing Ning'er watched with pain as 11 million gold coins were deducted from her city's funds, she stared at the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion in front of her with wide eyes, wondering when they would be repaired.
