Chapter 1691: Profitable Business
Because it is still dark, and Qingcheng does not allow aborigines and adventurers to enter or exit, it is naturally impossible for the NPCs from the Starry Sky and the Fox Clan to leave.
Qingcheng’s teleportation array no longer allows anyone to teleport after returning from Wugu Forest. Therefore, these players who followed Starry Sky Vast and the others back to Qingcheng will naturally not be able to go back to grab any dragon blood. Something like that. The group of people walked around Qingcheng and finally found two rental houses provided by Qingcheng.
Yes.
Not housing but renting! Players need to spend money to rent a house.
"City Lord Ji is really far-sighted!" The elder of the Fox tribe gritted his teeth and followed Xingkong Haohan to stand in front of the house in the alley to the west of Qingcheng. He watched a man of the Fox tribe under him hand over the rent of one gold coin to the guard of Qingcheng. , couldn't help complaining in a low voice.
Xingkong Guohan smiled nonchalantly, unable to help but admire Ji Xiaoyan’s method of making money.
Everyone knows that you can just go and sit in the pubs and restaurants in the town for a night. Anyway, for their players, the night is just a time for chatting or doing other things. It doesn’t matter who doesn’t sleep. . Of course, NPCs are different from them.
According to the plans of Xingkong Haohan and the elders of the Fox clan, when they return to Qingcheng, they must find a place to stay and sleep for one night before leaving Qingcheng at dawn. However, their calculations were good, and Ji Xiaoyan's calculations were even more powerful.
During the Dragon Slaying Event, all the pubs and restaurants in Qingcheng will be closed at that time, not giving any players a chance to sit there for a night, let alone NPCs like the Fox Clan. Ji Xiaoyan didn’t do anything for it. They planned to. She knows all the NPCs who can come to Qingcheng to help slay the dragon, and their accommodation has been arranged.
However, the places in the inns that can be stayed in Qingcheng are limited, and they have all been occupied by the players who were the first to return to Qingcheng. When Starry Sky Vast and the others return, they have no chance to compete with others for space. Can they still force people to go offline? Players who are willing to spend money to stay in the game and sleep are not willing to go offline to rest, so they have to wait to exchange for merit as soon as possible.
So, all the cheap inns have been occupied, and if the remaining players want to stay, they have to rent these expensive houses.
How many such empty houses are there in Qingcheng? Starry Sky Vast has no idea, but he knows how many players will come back from the Black Bone Forest tonight. Miss Ji Xiaoyan really made a lot of money this time!
"Elder, then you should go in and rest early." Xingkong Haohan sighed, smiled and said to the elders of the Fox clan. After watching them close the door with unhappiness on their faces, Then he breathed a sigh of relief and gestured to the players around him. Everyone silently followed the Qingcheng guard towards another room they rented.
They originally planned to rent only one room to protect the safety of NPCs like the Fox clan in Qingcheng. Who knows, I finally found the guard and asked him about renting a house. It turned out that the guard didn't know what kind of eyes he had. He could tell at a glance that the elder of the Fox tribe and his party were aboriginals, and they would not let them and the adventurers live or die. If they live together, they must be separated and live in two houses. To put it in a beautiful name, the aborigines cannot be wronged by adventurers!
Fuck you.
Isn’t it just to earn an extra gold coin for rent? One gold coin per room per night!
The vastness of the starry sky couldn't help but sigh, it must be that only rich players like him can afford to live there.
Thinking of this, Xingkong Haohan couldn't help but chat with the guard who led them: "Brother guard, is it too expensive to ask for one gold coin for this house in Qingcheng for one night? What if this happens? What should poor adventurers do if they can't afford the rent and let them wander the streets of Qingcheng? "At night?"
The Qingcheng guard glanced at the vast starry sky and said with great certainty: "Except for the adventurers who came out of the teleportation array, any adventurers found wandering around the streets of Qingcheng by our patrolling guards Those who wander around are imprisoned directly.”
"Then, not every adventurer can afford your high rent." Xingkong Huohan asked with a curled lip, and he began to wonder if the poorer players would go offline after hearing the rent price. .
"Yes, so our rents are all separate!" The Qingcheng guard didn't know what he thought of. As he walked, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said to them with their backs to the vast starry sky.
"Separate? What do you mean?" Xingkong was stunned for a moment.
“Generally, the rent for our houses in Qingcheng is about five hundred copper coins, one silver coin, ten silver coins, etc. It would not be unfair for a character like you, the adventurer, to live in such a house for you. Is it your identity? So we will definitely arrange a room for you with gold coins for one night! The price is not expensive for your identity, isn't it?" The Qingcheng guard glanced at the vast starry sky with a smile. said happily.
If it was expensive, it would be impossible for the adventurer in front of me to just choose two houses without even talking about the price! Right?
So, this method of discipline taught by Mr. Qing Gong is really effective!
The expression on the vast starry sky at this moment could not be darker. It was like thunder striking his body, burning him inside and out! MD, have even the NPCs in the game learned to be so mean? Will their players be able to play well in the game in the future?
Renting a house in the game is divided into three, six or nine levels, and they will also look at the players' faces and consider their "face". These NPCs are simply going to become spirits! He just didn't see how luxurious the house of the Fox clan elder who spent one gold coin to rent a house was!
These guards in Qingcheng are simply a trap.
Xingkong Huohan held his chest with a look of great distress, and exaggeratedly let his two players support him. He looked weak and depressed, and then shouted to the guard of Qingcheng: "Brother guard, If I say now that I don’t want this so-called identity you gave me, I just want a cheaper house, okay?”
Anyway, the gold coins haven’t been given yet.
"Adventurer, do you think it's okay?" The Qingcheng guard turned his head and smiled conspiratorially, looking at him with a ferocious look, and then said: "Are you planning to take your friends with us? Want to visit the prison in Qingcheng?"
"City Lord Ji and I are friends!" Xingkong raised his neck and looked at the guard very seriously.
“We all know it!” The Qingcheng guard looked like he knew everything, nodded casually, and then said: “It’s just because you are a friend of the city lord, that’s why we can’t let you live there. Those five-hundred-coin-a-room houses must match your status!”
Okay, Starry Sky is so vast that I want to vomit blood.
This is also a reason to be extorted money!
“I thought that since I was a friend of City Lord Ji, you would give me a cheaper price.” Xingkong Guohan held it in for a long time and finally said this. "It's not appropriate for your status to be cheap!" The Qingcheng guard continued to smile, and finally led Xingkong Vasian and the others to their destination. They stood in front of a house similar to the one where the elders of the Fox tribe lived just now, and said to Looking at them, he said: "This is it. You can just go in!"
"Is this room too small?" A player behind Starry Sky couldn't help but frown. asked, He turned to look at the crowd behind him, and then said to the Qingcheng guard: "Brother guard, there are still as many of us in Wugu Forest as there are now. This room seems like it can't even accommodate us. Ah!”
“You’ll know if you go in and look at it,” the guard said with great certainty, then he spread his hands towards the vast starry sky and said, “Chenghui, one gold coin.”
< br>
"Brother Guard, if we can't live here, I will go to City Lord Ji for advice." Xingkong Haohan glared. He was no longer in the mood to pretend to be weak and let the players around him support him. He took a step directly and stood in front of the Qingcheng guard. Beside him, he said warningly to him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be able to stay here.” The Qingcheng guard continued to nod.
The vast starry sky had no choice but to take out a gold coin and slap it hard into the hand of the Qingcheng guard. Then he tilted his head and motioned for him to go in and take a look, and then he looked up speechlessly. The light is on in the room in front of me After asking the Qingcheng guard to wait for a moment, he said to everyone: "Let's go in and take a look."
With doubts in his heart, Xingkong Guohuan opened the door and stepped into the house. Then I couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, don’t rely on appearances in everything!
This room with one gold coin can't even accommodate the remaining half of the players in the Black Bone Forest. It can probably accommodate the other half. It looked like an extremely ordinary private house from the outside. When they came in, they saw the vast starry sky and counted carefully. There were four floors in the house, with twenty rooms on each floor, and forty wooden beds in each room. , one person can lie on a bed, and 3,200 players can lie directly on it.
They only came to Qingcheng with no more than 400 players!
This house is indeed worth a gold coin.
"Sure enough, the game is so cool. In a small door, you can design it however you want." Xingkong Haohan sighed while inviting everyone to choose a room by themselves. Instead, he opened the door and stepped out. , looking at the Qingcheng guard looking at him with a smile at the steps, he couldn't help but purse his lips.
"How's it going? Adventurer, isn't this room suitable?" the Qingcheng guard asked.
"Yes. It's very suitable." Xingkong Guohan had to admit, and then asked: "The houses that my aboriginal friends lived in just now were as big as ours?"
"How is that possible? There are only a few of them!" The Qingcheng guard suddenly rolled his eyes and said to the vast starry sky.
"Since it's not that big, why do you want to collect a gold coin?" Xingkong Haohan asked with a glare.
"Because they are aborigines!" the Qingcheng guard said without hesitation, "That house is small, but it is comfortable!"
"After all, you have a reason to collect gold coins That's it." Xingkong Guohao said angrily, and then got down to business: "Brother guard, we still have people in Wugu Forest. They don't know we live here yet. Can you take one of us with you? risk Where can the dangerous people wait for them at the teleportation array and guide them when they come back? Otherwise, we will go there by ourselves later. If you catch them and say they are homeless, it will be troublesome."
"This is a small matter. I'll just ask the other guards to go to the teleportation array to watch for you later. You don't need to send anyone there." The Qingcheng guard nodded immediately and responded happily.
"No need to collect any more gold coins, right?" Xingkong Haohan asked suspiciously.
"If you are willing to give it, I wouldn't mind helping the city lord save an extra gold coin into the treasure house!" the Qingcheng guard said shamelessly.
At least, that’s what Starry Sky feels like.
After saying that, after watching the Qingcheng guard leave, Xingkong Haohan suddenly made a decision in his heart. When he gets the town in his hands later, he must manage it in the same way as Ji Xiaoyan.
Thunder Kitten and Nightmare Cleaner followed the stranger and rushed directly to the door of the City Lord's Mansion, asking to see Ji Xiaoyan. The guards at the City Lord's Mansion knew their identities, so they told them simply that Ji Xiaoyan was no longer in the City Lord's Mansion and had gone to another place. If they wanted to wait, they could take them into the City Lord's Mansion to wait. However, the stranger thought for a while, turned around, said goodbye to Thunder Kitten and the others, and went to the training ground. Thunder Kitten and Nightmare Cleaner were left behind and were taken into the City Lord's Mansion by the Qingcheng guards, and then stayed in a guest room. Got off.
"Nightmare, what did you steal today?" Thunder Kitten closed the door and immediately approached the Nightmare Cleaner curiously, asking him in a low voice.
“I don’t know, I haven’t had time to look at it.” The Nightmare Cleaner smiled proudly, and then started to take out things from the package and said to Thunder Kitten, “But now that I have time, There is also a good place to take a closer look. By the way, Kitten, how did you meet Xingkong Vasian and the others?”
Thunder Kitten briefly explained the situation, and then suddenly whispered mysteriously. Looking at the nightmare cleaner, he said: " Nightmare, do you think there is anyone else who just came back with us?"
The Nightmare Cleaner glanced at Thunder Kitten with some confusion, took out a bottle of dragon blood and put it on the table. Then he said: "How do I know? They are just some people I don't know. I don't see any acquaintances!"
"Yes." Thunder Kitten said with certainty, "You Unthinkable.”
The Nightmare Cleaner raised his eyebrows and looked at Thunder Kitten, gesturing for him to speak directly.
"Do you remember who the NPC was who killed us once?" Thunder Kitten raised his eyes and asked in a low voice.
“From the Fox Clan.” The Nightmare Cleaner’s eyes widened, he blinked in disbelief, and asked the Thunder Kitten: “You mean, we just talked to the Fox Clan Those NPCs came back with Xingkong Huanhan and the others? How did you know? Didn’t they find you and kill you?”
