Chapter 1359 Selling a House
For the game after the update, many of the functions of the abnormal world have almost disappeared. Some of the most frequently used functions and interfaces for players to check their own attributes, equipment, purchase potions or weapons, and check the names of items have disappeared. All this is to prove that Guang once and As Ji Xiaoyan said, this game must become a real world.
So, from this situation, a profession that had never appeared in the game before was born in the game world, and slowly began to emerge and become scarce in various cities and villages. .
This profession is appraiser.
Speaking of which, the technical content of this appraiser is actually not high at all! If it were in previous games, what the appraiser would probably be able to do, that is, only when players get something that has not been unblocked or don't know its use, can they do some business. But in today’s game world, that’s completely different! No matter what weapons, equipment, or even potions the players are holding, they cannot see any names, attributes, or introductions!
For example, if a player in the past played a piece of equipment from a monster, he could immediately view text information such as the name, attributes, and origin of the piece of equipment, which was very convenient! However, now if a player knocks off a piece of equipment from a monster, it will be completely different from before! Players can still hold the thing in their hands and observe its appearance, but that's about it! If you want to know the name of this piece of equipment, what color it is, what attributes it has, etc., then players need to take this piece of equipment and go to a village, town or city to find a specialized appraiser. Ask them to take a look and issue a certificate of appraisal for this piece of equipment!
All equipment attributes that could be viewed directly before will be recorded in this equipment appraisal book. Players can usually take a look at it, or when selling equipment, they can show the appraisal certificate to the buyer together with it. Finally, after the transaction is completed, the appraisal certificate and the equipment can be traded to the buyer together
Of course, these appraisers are not free.
This can be regarded as a small change for the NPCs in this game world to generate income again, and it is also a means to promote more consumption among players.
Later, because many players did not want to spend money to get an appraisal, just to know the name of the equipment, some NPCs called "Game Masters" appeared in the game. The original prototype of this so-called game master was the NPC named Luo Ji who was forced by old man Qingya to give a meeting gift to Miss Ji Xiaoyan in Qingcheng
Ji Xiaoyan could not see anything about the crystal ball that Luo Ji gave to Ji Xiaoyan except to hold it in his hand and look at it! So, out of politeness, Ji Xiaoyan admired how beautiful the thing was, put the crystal ball into his bag, and then stood there, listening to Old Man Qingmi livening up the atmosphere, and quietly waiting for the return of Manager Qing Gong.
It was only when Ji Xiaoyan felt that if old man Qingmi had found a topic earlier, no one would support him anymore, that Manager Qing Gong finally trotted back.
"Elder Qingya. Elder Qingya. Room, I have arranged the room for you." Manager Qing Gong gasped and said to old man Qingya, "You and this... You just need to follow our maids from Qingcheng and go straight there!"
Old man Qingya nodded with satisfaction and said to Manager Qing Gong in a complimentary manner: "Okay, ok, Manager Qing Gong, your speed in doing things is quite good. Then, girl, let's go first. Let's take a rest in the room until we have some rest. I'll come to you to talk about business."
Just as Ji Xiaoyan was about to nod, Manager Qing Gong next to him immediately said: "Elder Qingmi, this may not work! I'm going to patrol the city together. As you know, I Our Qingcheng is not an ordinary city. Now that it has been renovated, every place must be visited. This visit may only take one or two days. Look, if you have nothing urgent, we will wait for two days. God is making an appointment, is it okay?”
"Wait two days?" Old Man Qingmi frowned when he heard this, looked at Luo Ji beside him with a troubled expression, then shook his head and said to Manager Qing Gong and Ji Xiaoyan: "That's not possible, girl, why not Let's talk about the matter now. Luo Ji doesn't have that much time to wait for you in the city lord's palace. Well, let's just talk about the matter now." Having said this, the old man Qingya immediately Saw it Luo Ji glanced at Ji Xiaoyan and continued: "Girl, do you still have any empty shops in Qingcheng? After the Lord God's ban was lifted, Luo Ji, a stubborn old man, finally figured it out and planned to open a shop, and then Take some disciples and settle in another city! Our Qingshimen is not suitable for him, so I thought of you."
Ji Xiaoyan looked at Luo Ji in surprise. What the old man Qingya means is that the mysterious Loki in front of him is planning to open a shop in their Qingcheng, close the shop at the same time, and then settle in Qingcheng? Did she understand correctly?
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoyan immediately turned his attention to Manager Qing Gong. After seeing that he also looked at him in surprise, he said, "Master Qingmi, what do you mean?"< br>
“What I mean is, just find a shop for Luo Ji!” Old man Qingya said to Ji Xiaoyan unceremoniously, “It’s best to have a shop with a backyard, so that he can Found it After becoming a disciple, you can have a place to teach your skills. Anyway, there were many places in your Qingcheng before. Now after the renovation, I think it seems to be bigger than before."
Ji Xiaoyan was stunned, and then He opened his mouth and asked the old man Qingya: "Then how big of a house are you planning to buy? It seems that we built a lot of houses with backyards when we first built them."
Manager Qing Gong originally thought that the matter introduced by the old man Qingmi would definitely not be paid and would be given away in vain. He had never expected that his own city lord would directly ask for the price as soon as he opened his mouth. Typically, he would tactfully tell Elder Qingmi and the others that they had to prepare gold coins before they could buy a shop or a house. Thinking of this, Manager Qing Gong silently gave Ji Xiaoyan some advice in his mind. Ten thousand likes.
"Girl, what are you talking about? What does it mean to buy a house?" Qing When Old Man Mi heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, he turned to her angrily and said, "Just give one to Luo Ji! Buy whatever you want! What are you talking about!!" No wonder Old Man Qing Mi was angry. When Luo Ji arrived at their bluestone gate, he prepared to leave within two days. Later, he encountered the Lord God's ban, so he stayed at their bluestone gate! In those days, he had been thinking about Miss Ji Xiaoyan's Qingcheng, so he kept bragging to Luo Ji about how good his relationship with Ji Xiaoyan was. If he wanted to choose a city to settle down, he would definitely choose Qingcheng. At that time, he only needs to follow him to clear the city, house and settle down, etc., Qingmi will directly solve everything for him, without any gold coins!
But listen now, before he even boasted in front of Miss Ji Xiaoyan, this girl ruthlessly exposed his guilty conscience. Buying a house? Just kidding, who among the Qingshimen people brought gold coins when they went out? Besides, when Miss Ji Xiaoyan attacked Qingcheng, didn't the one from Qingshimen come to help? How long has Miss Ji Xiaoyan been following him? Is it possible that I don’t even have a room for myself?
Thinking of this, old man Qingmi suddenly looked at Ji Xiaoyan unhappily. General Manager Qing Gong looked at the old man Qingmi with a somewhat uneasy expression. He rolled his eyes twice and quickly said softly: "Haha, Elder Qingmi, you are right, you are right. What is the relationship between you and the Lord of the City? It's a relationship, so it's no problem to have a room." Manager Qing Gong said as he spoke. While looking at the expression of old man Qingya, he saw that his face looked much better after hearing what he said, and then he continued: "However, Elder Qingya, as the general manager of Qingcheng, I still I want to tell you something”
Old man Qingmi raised his eyebrows and looked at Manager Qing Gong, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd! As long as the house is given, other things are none of his business and he won't care!
"You two came from outside the city lord's palace. Naturally, you saw that our Qingcheng has been rebuilt. Every place is brand new and feels vibrant and gorgeous, right?" Manager Qing Gong looked at Qing Gong. Old Man Mi and Luo Ji saw that they were all looking at them, and then they continued: "Elder Qing Mi was Those who have followed the Lord of the City to our Qingcheng treasure house naturally know that our Qingcheng has a lot of property."
Old man Qingya nodded and interjected: "That's why I told Luo Ji, if he comes Qingcheng will definitely not starve to death!”
Chief Qing Gong shook his eyelids without revealing any traces. Glancing at Ji Xiaoyan who was staring at him expressionlessly, he continued to speak to Old Qingmi: "But, Elder Qingmi, there are many things you don't know! Our previous treasure house is now empty, even I can't even dig out a single gold coin." Miss Ji Xiaoyan said that the gold coins given by Lord God are all lying in his room right now. He's in trouble
"What? Where did those boxes full of treasures go? Have they been stolen by thieves? Who dares to be so bold?" When old man Qingya heard what Manager Qing Gong said, he immediately became confused. He raised his eyebrows and asked: "Damn, who is so arrogant? He even dared to steal the treasure house of our city lord's palace? And he stole it so cleanly"
Manager Qing Gong looked at the old man Qingmi with some amazement, and then said truthfully: "No one came to steal the treasure trove of our city lord's palace. Those properties have been used in the entire renovation project of this Qing city. Elder Qingmi, can you imagine how many gold coins I spent on the renovation and reconstruction of Qingcheng?"
"All are used? There is not a single gold coin left?" Old man Qingmi looked at Manager Qing Gong blankly. Just asked, casually Then suddenly an idea flashed, and he stared at Manager Qing Gong closely and said: "Manager Qing Gong, are you talking so much just to tell me that all the gold coins and property in the treasure house have been used up. If we are in Qingcheng in the future, we will still need more money. You have to pay for your own food. If you don’t cover Luo Ji and me’s board and lodging, are you going to let us go back to Qingshi Gate by ourselves?”
Manager Qing Gong looked at old man Qingmi in surprise, that’s not what he said at all. Doesn’t this mean well? Even if their city lord's mansion is poor, don't they know how to go to the city to get some food on credit? Can't you afford to support these two idle people? What kind of brain does this Bluestone Sect elder have?
"Elder Qingmi, what we are talking about now is about the house, not about food!" Manager Qing Gong sighed silently, then looked at the old man Qingmi and said feebly.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes! The house!" Old Man Qingya nodded immediately, stared at Manager Qing Gong and asked: "Then what did you just say that there is no money in the treasure house have to do with the house? ? Didn’t you all spend money to build the entire Qing city? "What else do you want to say?"
Manager Qing Gong rolled his eyes helplessly, and then said to the old man Qingmi: "Elder Qingmi, what I want to say is that we have used up all the property in the treasure house and used it to rebuild the Qingcheng. It's over. We don't have a single copper coin in our treasury now. And there are so many people in our City Lord’s Mansion who want to give you a house. It is definitely no problem, but if you give it away like this for free, our City Lord’s Mansion is really in a pinch. Do you think?”
Hear this? , Old Man Qingmi finally knows what Manager Qing Gong means!
"Chief Qing Gong, are you just asking me for money?" Old man Qingmi looked surprised.
Chief Qing Gong sighed, with a face full of apologies, and said to the old man Qingya: "Elder Qingmi, you also know the character of our city lord. If in the past, you would never ask for a room. Yes, I just want a house on the same street, then There's absolutely no problem, I'll give it to you for free!" Manager Qing Gong paused, and after seeing that the dark expression on Qingmi's face had softened a lot, he continued, "But Qingmi! Elder, there is nothing we can do now! Today we are going to patrol the city. The Lord City Lord and I are going to take a look at what houses there are and plan to sell them. Our City Lord’s Mansion, which maintains the livelihood of our City Lord’s Mansion, really can’t make enough money at the moment.”
"How much do you want?" Old Man Qingya Staring at Chief Qing Gong depressedly, he did not answer. However, Luo Ji, who was next to him, raised his face hidden in the black cloak, looked at Chief Qing Gong with his golden eyes and asked: "How many gold coins do you want?" , just say it directly”
Manager Qing Gong glanced at Ji Xiaoyan and saw that there was no displeasure on her face, and she seemed to want to leave the matter to him. Then he thought about it and said to Luo Ji and Qingmi: "Just Elder Qingya said this, we can’t ask for many gold coins, we just need to be willing to give ten gold coins. What do you think?”
