Chapter 189 Taking Over the Shop
"Thank you!"
Xu Youming thanked him and immediately came to the old man.
"Let's trade."
After Xu Youming handed over 800 gold coins, the owner of the shop directly became Yaoyao.
The reason why Xu Youming chose Yaoyao as the shopkeeper was because of her loyalty.
Moreover, the personalities of NPCs are fixed, and given Yaoyao's personality, there should be no possibility that they would betray me.
This will save me from having to find a new manager when she leaves.
The moment the transaction was completed, the originally plain appearance was instantly covered by a ray of light.
"Hmm? Has this shop been sold?"
Seeing this scene, experienced players knew that this was bought by other players.
"This is the shop king. Who took him down?"
For a moment, many players gathered at the door of the store, wanting to see which force had taken over the store.
Over the past half month, many people have tried every possible way to buy this shop, but after spending a lot of money, no one can gain the approval of the old man inside.
Unexpectedly, this shop that I have been dreaming about was finally sold today.
After the transaction was completed, the old man disappeared.
As Yaoyao's master, Xu Youming naturally became the owner of this shop.
In shops, various control panels emerge.
Level 1 counter
It can accommodate 5 people trading at the same time.
Price: 10 silver coins
Level 2 counter
It can accommodate 10 people trading at the same time.
Price: 50 silver coins
Level 3 counter
Accommodates 20 people trading at the same time
Price: 1 gold coin
The counter is not just a decoration, it also has the function of allowing players to trade independently.
At a location like this, there may be hundreds of people coming at the same time. If transactions cannot be completed quickly, a lot of customers may be lost.
Xu Youming did not save money on this and directly spent 5 gold coins to buy a level 5 counter.
Level 5 Counter
It can accommodate 100 people trading at the same time.
The tables, chairs, benches and various decorations in the hall all cost money to arrange. They are not only beautiful, they all have their own functions.
The most expensive ones are the private rooms on the second floor, and this shop only has two of them.
Each expansion requires 20 gold coins. Xu Youming no longer has enough gold coins, so he suspended the expansion.
"Wow, this shop is so grand."
After Xu Youming's arrangement, the shop has begun to take shape. Yaoyao couldn't help but exclaimed at the sudden change.
"Do you like it? From now on, you can make medicine here with your master Yao."
"I do like it, but isn't it inappropriate to make medicine in the hall ?"
Yaoyao looked around but couldn't find the place to put the alchemy furnace.
"Of course not in the hall. Come on, follow me."
As he spoke, Xu Youming took Yaoyao through a screen and came to the backyard.
After entering the backyard, Xu Youming spent 10 gold coins to buy an alchemy room.
Then, an ancient alchemy room appeared in the corner of the yard.
The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw the alchemy room.
This is much more magnificent than the small shabby house in the mountain village.
In order to ensure Yao Guangzhi's alchemy efficiency, Xu Youming purchased a level 3 alchemy room.
Level 3 Alchemy Room
Increases success rate by 10% and shortens alchemy time by 10%.
At the same time, some other non-combat facilities can be arranged in the yard, but Xu Youming is now completely out of money.
Nearly 9 million yuan of funds were gone just like that. I really don’t know when I became so resourceful.
But he only felt sad for a moment.
He planned to turn this place into a grocery store in the future, and let the grandfather and grandson of the Yao family sell medicines here first to build its reputation.
Then you can sell some of the equipment or precious materials you have made here.
Of course, if something needs to be auctioned, it should be given to Qian Shijinsheng to bid.
After all, his store doesn’t have an auction function.
Secondly, we collect some materials obtained by players here.
There are many buildings in the mountain stronghold that can be upgraded, but the materials required are too large. It will take forever to reach the upgrade standards with only the materials contributed by the bandits.
As long as the copycat becomes stronger faster than the players improve, the copycat will continue to exist.
He could also continue to occupy the copy of the General's Mausoleum.
Not only that, the entire area outside Disha Village is his own back garden.
After finishing everything, Xu Youming asked Yaoyao to stay in the store, and he went back to Disha Village to pick up Old Man Yao.
When Old Man Yao saw everything in Lanling City, his eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
After all, he came from a wealthy family, but his family was destroyed by the former leader of Disha Village.
Now I can finally return to the prosperous place of Lanling City.
Xu Youming had no idea that he had so much inner drama, so he took him straight back to the store.
"From now on, you will make medicine here. Tell me if you run out of herbs."
When Old Man Yao arrived at the store, he was just as surprised as Yaoyao. He didn't expect that Xu Youming, a bandit leader, would have an industry in Lanling City.
And judging from the scale, it's not small. I really underestimated this young man.
The materials that Old Man Yao uses to make medicine are all produced in the mountain medicine gardens, and are usually picked by a few small bandits.
All I have to do is keep sending medicinal materials here, and Old Man Yao will continue to refine pills here.
Old man Yao is a high-level alchemist who is capable of refining intermediate-level resurrection pills. He currently has no competitors in Lanling City.
Even in the system's pharmacy, there are only small-sized resurrection pills.
Judging from the challenges that players are facing now, the primary resurrection pill is obviously a bit weak.
If an intermediate resurrection pill were to appear at this time, it would definitely be able to seize the pharmaceutical market.
This is also the reason why Xu Youming was so decisive in taking over this store.
"Master Yao, how many intermediate Soul Resurrection Pills and Mind Concentration Pills can you refine in one day?"
"Ah? Oh, if there are enough materials, 4 furnaces can be produced in one hour, and one furnace can produce about 100 portions."
Old man Yao only came back to his senses from the shock when he heard Xu Youming’s question.
Four furnaces in one hour, which means it takes one hour to refine one furnace of Resurrection Pill and Spirit-Concentrating Pill.
Xu Youming had asked about the cost issue before. Taking into account the loss, one portion of the herb would cost about 10 silver coins.
Sold at market price, the price of intermediate Resurrection Pill and Mind-Concentrating Pill is 30 silver coins.
After deducting 30% tax, I can get 21 silver coins and double my profit. This deal is worth doing.
I have to say that the taxation in Lanling City is really high, directly accounting for 30% of the turnover.
The system is simply exploiting players in every way.
According to Old Man Yao's efficiency, if he works 8 hours a day, he can refine 1,600 pills.
Just from the profit from selling medicine, this shop can contribute 176 gold coins to Xu Youming a day.
In just a few days, you can make back your investment, of course, provided that you can sell out every day.
