Chapter 77 Shop 2
Chapter 77 Shop 2
"Damn it! We're both players, so why does he get to ride such a cool mount? I haven't even touched a donkey yet!" The assassin companion next to him complained sourly, his eyes practically glowing with envy.
"Hey, hey, hey! Isn't the focus on the mount? Didn't you guys see the girl sitting in front of him? Purple skin! Pointy ears! That face! That figure! Is she an NPC or a player? This game can even tame this kind of... uh, companion?" A mage player adjusted his non-existent glasses, trying to see more clearly.
"Sister killed me! Who is this guy? His luck is too incredible!" This was the scream of a fangirl player.
"Wow! You're definitely a pro! Look at that tiger's aura, it must be a top-ranked mount, right?" a player who seemed knowledgeable analyzed, his tone full of certainty.
"Big boss, please let me cling to your leg! I can warm your bed and be cute!" This is a shameless sucker.
"Tch, what's there to brag about? Maybe he just got lucky and completed some special mission to get this trial card. It'll be gone in a few days." Of course, there were also plenty of sour remarks from the jealous people.
"Trial card? Your trial card can take girls for a ride? Is it so hard to admit that someone is awesome? I bet this guy is a hidden master on the level or equipment leaderboard!" someone immediately retorted.
"That makes sense... Damn it, comparing yourself to others is just awful! I'm still struggling for level 10 gear, while others are already living the high life!"
"Record it! Post it on the regional channel! The title will be 'A Mysterious Boss Appears in Sunset City, Riding a Powerful Flaming Tiger and Accompanied by a Succubus!' It'll definitely get tons of clicks!"
"Let's go! Bro, let's team up and follow him, see where the big shot is? Maybe we can trigger some hidden quest?"
Lin Tian remained unfazed, ignoring the envious and jealous glances and noisy discussions along the way, and steadily guided the [Blazing White Tiger] forward.
Celia, on the other hand, seemed to have long been used to being the center of attention, simply bowing her head slightly as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
Before long, they arrived at the first shop located near the Hall of Professionals.
Lin Tian decided to call this shop Shop No. 1, and the other one in the teleportation plaza Shop No. 2.
Lin Tian and Celia nimbly jumped off the tiger's back. Lin Tian waved his hand, returning the [Blazing White Tiger] to his mount space.
As soon as I reached the shop entrance, I saw a middle-aged man dressed impeccably and looking like a manager, giving instructions to three young men dressed as shop assistants. The three shop assistants nodded repeatedly, their attitude respectful.
The manager caught a glimpse of Lin Tian approaching out of the corner of his eye, immediately stopped talking, turned to face Lin Tian, gave him a very standard bow, and said respectfully, "Good morning, Boss Lin."
It seems the City Lord's Mansion has arranged all the procedures and personnel perfectly; their efficiency is extremely high. Lin Tian silently gave the City Lord's Mansion a thumbs up in his heart.
The manager of Shop No. 1, surnamed Wang, gave Lin Tian a brief introduction to the shop's basic information and then respectfully led Lin Tian and Celia inside for a tour.
The shop has a spacious interior, elegant decor, and is fully equipped with shelves and counters. There is also a storage room and a small rest area in the back, so it can be opened for business immediately.
Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction, and then explained the main business direction of the shop to Manager Wang—focusing on high-end boutiques and specializing in the sale of various high-level items.
He opened his backpack, which was stuffed full of high-level equipment and rare materials that he had "freeloaded" while grinding monsters, opening treasure chests, and improving his talents. They were at least B-rank, with many top-tier A-rank items!
Lin Tian took out half of this priceless batch of goods and handed them over to Manager Wang as the initial inventory and prized possession of the No. 1 store.
He plans to sell the other half in the second store, which has a higher foot traffic.
Finally, he solemnly instructed Manager Wang: "Manager Wang, in addition to sales, we also need to aggressively acquire. Buy as much as you can of high-level equipment, materials, skill books, special items, etc.! Don't worry about funding; I'll replenish it regularly."
"Understood, Boss Lin! Please rest assured, I will definitely manage the shop well!" Manager Wang bowed and replied, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness, clearly a clever and capable person.
After visiting and explaining the details of Shop No. 1, Lin Tian summoned the [Blazing White Tiger] again and, with Celia in tow, headed to Shop No. 2, located in the teleportation plaza.
The closer you get to the teleportation plaza, the more the number of players increases exponentially, creating a bustling and crowded scene.
Their combination of a human, a tiger, and a succubus caused a sensation, even more so than before at the professional hall of fame.
"My goodness! Look over there! That guy's back again! This time it's the teleportation plaza!" A player who had just come out of the teleportation array was immediately shocked by the sight.
"Damn, the difference in gaming experience is just too huge! We're still running around on foot, and they're already driving 'supercars'! And limited edition ones at that!"
"Hey? Did you guys notice? He seems to have come from the Hall of Fame? Is he an NPC?" Some people started speculating about Lin Tian's identity.
"NPC my foot! Look, even though his information is hidden, he's clearly a player! Definitely a top-tier player!"
"Does the big boss need a 'hook'? Someone who's been to college and knows how to say '666'!"
"Look at me, boss! My life skills are maxed out! I can brew potions and forge! Looking for a sugar daddy!"
"The direction he went...that shop? Wasn't that shop always closed? Did he buy it?"
"Buy a shop? You can buy a shop right now? How much would that cost? Or did you complete some incredible mission?"
"Damn it! It's true what they say, comparisons are odious! I can barely afford the medicine anymore!"
"Record a video! We absolutely have to record a video! This guy is definitely the number one celebrity in Luoxia City!"
"Brothers, I have a bold idea... Shall we ask the big shots where they got the mount?"
"Let's go together! ... Uh, you go, I'm afraid that tiger will swat me back to the spring with one paw..."
Lin Tian remained oblivious, walking expressionlessly through the crowd to the entrance of shop number two.
There was also a manager and three employees waiting at the door, their attitude equally respectful.
Lin Tian repeated the arrangements and instructions for Shop No. 1 almost verbatim, and handed over the remaining half of the high-end item inventory to Manager Li.
After handling the initial matters of the two shops, Lin Tian felt much more relaxed, finally having a stable source of resources and gold coins.
......
Actually, there was a system auction house after Lin Tian arrived in the main city.
However, the transaction fee was outrageously high, reaching 10%, and since no other players had reached the level 3 main city before, the auction house was empty, so he had never used this function.
This auction house is a platform open to all players; only players can participate in auctions and bidding on it.
