Chapter 188: Yaoyao Little Shopkeeper
To be honest, after being fooled by the old man, Xu Youming was already tempted, but his identity became the biggest obstacle at this moment.
"I'm not from Lanling City, so I don't have the conditions to buy a shop."
Xu Youming politely rejected the old man.
"Alas, your reputation is enough to buy any house in Lanling City. It doesn't matter whether you are from Lanling City or not."
The old man still stood in front of Xu Youming, and seemed to have no intention of letting him leave.
Seeing the other party's relentless introduction, Xu Youming followed the old man into the shop as if possessed.
Before the shop was sold, it was just a spacious hall without any commercial facilities.
After passing through the hall, there is a small courtyard at the back that is as big as two basketball courts.
There are several simple thatched houses scattered around the yard, and I don’t know what they are used for.
"How much does this house cost?"
"Not expensive, 800 gold coins."
When the old man saw Xu Youming asking about the price, he immediately smiled.
800 gold coins!
Is this not expensive? Xu Youming was about to walk out.
This is 8 million Chinese Yuan. The price in real shops is probably about the same. I don’t have that much spare money to buy such an expensive thing in the game.
And even if I buy it myself, I don’t know what business I can do.
If I rent it out, I don’t know when I can get my money back.
"Hey, young man, don't go."
The old man swiftly stopped Xu Youming and prevented him from leaving.
"800 gold coins is really the lowest price. Those who don't have enough reputation can't buy this shop even with 1,000 gold coins."
Xu Youming knew that in the minds of those big forces, 1,000 gold coins might really not be a big deal. After all, this shop could be said to be in the best location in Lanling City.
Because the teleportation array is not far away, players must walk past this shop after returning to the city.
Guilds of several professions are also distributed around here, and players will pass by here when accepting tasks.
Doing business here is definitely a sure win.
"Besides, we can do business in the front and build other facilities in the backyard. Other shops don't have this benefit."
Xu Youming stopped and thought carefully.
If it was before today, he would definitely leave without looking back.
The value of shops in the game shouldn't be that high.
However, the fact that he can see things with his eyes is definitely related to this game.
If this game can really affect reality, then its value is definitely more than what meets the eye.
Buying this shop yourself might really be a good choice.
"I can buy it, but I don't want to reveal my identity. Can you help me solve this problem?"
Xu Youming turned sideways and looked at the old man.
"This is easy. You just need to recruit a system character as the shopkeeper and purchase it in his name. In this way, you don't have to show up and the property is yours."
Xu Youming didn't expect that it could be operated this way, and he immediately became interested.
"Okay, where can we recruit system characters?"
The old man smiled slightly, and a panel appeared in front of Xu Youming.
"You can recruit in any store, but the smarter the shopkeeper, the higher the price."
All I could see was the prices of shopkeepers of different levels listed on the board.
Junior Shopkeeper
Price: 10 gold coins
Intermediate Shopkeeper
Price: 50 gold coins
Senior Shopkeeper
Price: 100 gold coins
It's really heartless. A mere virtual character is worth millions.
"Of course, you can choose to rent it, but if you want to register the store under the name of the shopkeeper, it is better to choose to buy it. Otherwise, if you can't pay the rent one day, the system will take the character away."
"When the time comes, the store will be without an owner, which will be another problem."
Xu Youming looked at the introduction on the panel and had a bold idea in his mind.
"Can anyone who is a system character buy this shop on my behalf?"
The old man didn't know why Xu Youming asked this, but he still answered him seriously.
"That's true, but if those people have nothing to do with you, they will run away or eliminate you directly. The safest way is to buy a shopkeeper and then let him recognize the master."
"I understand. Wait for me for a moment."
After saying that, Xu Youming immediately rushed out the door, not giving the old man any chance to intercept him.
After leaving the shop, Xu Youming first ran to the outside of Lanling City, and then used the return order.
A white light flashed, and Xu Youming appeared in the mountain village.
Because of restrictions in the city, no teleportation equipment can be used.
After returning to the mountain stronghold, Xu Youming ran straight to the medicine house.
"Yaoyao, come on, follow me into the city."
Yao Guangzhi and Yaoyao were refining medicine in the medicine house and were startled by Xu Youming's sudden appearance.
"Sir, what are we going into the city for?"
Yaoyao was taken out by Xu Youming with a look of confusion on her face.
"Go buy a shop. If it works, you two won't have to stay in the village anymore."
When Yao Guangzhi heard that he didn't have to stay in the mountain village, his expression suddenly changed and he looked a little excited.
"Sir, you are serious!"
Although no one in the mountain stronghold harmed them, there were bandits all around, so Yao Guangzhi still didn't like staying here.
Especially since he has his little granddaughter with him, it is not suitable for him to stay in the mountain village.
Now hearing that Xu Youming intends to settle them in the city, how can they not be excited?
Xu Youming stopped and turned around and said, "Of course I'm serious. Then you two can go to the city to open a medicine shop."
After hearing Xu Youming's answer, Yao Guangzhi said nothing more and let Xu Youming take Yaoyao away, but his loyalty quietly increased by 10 points.
Yaoyao followed Xu Youming and arrived at Lanling City smoothly.
Although they are NPCs from the mountain village, they are not bandits, so the soldiers have no hostility towards them.
Soon, Xu Youming brought Yaoyao to the shop.
The old man saw Xu Youming running away before and thought he had given up on the purchase. Now seeing him coming back again, he suddenly became excited.
"Young man, have you thought about it?"
"See if she can buy this shop for me."
Xu Youming pushed Yaoyao forward.
The old man looked at it and said with a smile.
"Good sign for a girl, it turns out you already have the right person, no problem, she'll be fine."
Since there was no problem with the person, Xu Youming started thinking about money.
The auction of Jubao Pavilion has not started yet and my money has not arrived yet.
I don’t have that much spare money right now, so I can only contact Qian Shijinsheng again.
"Old Qian, I need 800 gold coins. Can I get some in advance?"
If it were under normal circumstances, such a large sum of money could definitely not be borrowed by Xu Youming with just a single word.
However, there were 200 sets of Xu Youming’s equipment stored in Jubao Pavilion, and not long after, Qian Shijinsheng transferred 800 gold coins to him.
