Chapter 231 Yaan Magic Supplies Store
This genius idea of random reduction and exemption was really not proposed by Novan, but by the "honest" goblin Hugo.
Hugo's initial idea was simpler. He planned to get something like a lottery box. Customers who came to the territory would have corresponding lottery opportunities after completing their purchases, and cash rewards would be given based on the lottery tickets drawn.
After Novin noticed Hugo’s plan:
"Absolutely awesome!"
"Sure enough, there is no shortage of smart people in any world!"
Novin had to admit that although the world he once lived in was different from this theistic world in many ways.
But in terms of human nature, they are actually the same.
Whether it is random deductions or exemptions or cash rebates through lottery, to put it bluntly, it is to take advantage of human nature and give some small benefits, so that people subconsciously think that "it is more cost-effective to make this option."
Novin simply helped Hugo.
There is no need for him to get a lottery box, he can directly integrate the "cash reduction and rebate" function into the divine creation!
A random number generator! Easy to handle!
The authority is delegated to Hugo, allowing him to set the cashback amount or probability for various purchases.
Hugo did not live up to Novin's expectations, and roped in Gale, who was good at numerical calculations. The two of them worked together to calculate the amount of deductions for all the projects in the territory that could participate in the reduction activities, so that they would never lose money.
The end result is that no matter how much money the adventurers who come to the territory think they have saved or earned through tax exemptions, the followers of the Qiushi Church who are the operators will never lose money!
In addition, Hugo also specially arranged several caretakers.
Let them spend it when the time is right, and pretend that the maximum reduction effect of 1 gold coin has been triggered, creating a look of good luck.
In addition, believers in taverns, hotels, blacksmith shops, and markets will give priority to promoting the convenience of saving money in Xiwei.
After a complete set of punches, Hugo didn't believe anyone could resist this temptation!
…
After depositing 15 silver coins in Xiwei's savings, Sam still felt a little unreal when he got his ID card back.
"Just with this card, you can spend whatever you want in the territory?"
The clerk reminded Sam politely: "Sir, please note that you can only use your ID card to quickly complete transactions and payments in places with a Lord's Direct License."
"If it is an unlicensed shop and you are deceived, we cannot guarantee that you will recover your losses."
Sam recalled it very seriously.
All the shops he saw in Xiwei Territory... seemed to be directly operated by the lord?
So what's the use of this reminder?
Maybe you think someone else will open a store in the territory in the future?
Sam guessed.
He is just the most ordinary warrior adventurer who doesn't understand so many things.
All the money has been saved, the most important thing he has to do now is consumption!
The sky was getting dark, and in the towns of Leyak Kingdom, night was not a good time to go out, but it was different in Xiwei Territory.
The light emitted from the interior of various buildings on both sides of the street is enough to illuminate the road, and some shops even become more popular at night.
After all, adventurers during the day often have to go into the forest to find and hunt monsters, so there is no time to stay in the town and relax.
Things like playing cards, drinking, making villains, etc. are basically reserved items in the house at night.
Sharing a table with an unknown adventurer in the gold-studded tavern, Sam discovered that this time there was an additional meal called "Adventurer Single Set Meal", which only cost 6 copper coins, which was only a little more expensive than a glass of ale.
This is probably the second cheapest thing in the pub.
"Give me, uh, that one-person meal, and a glass of wine."
Sam followed the example of the people he had seen doing before and handed his ID card to the waiter in charge of taking orders.
The waiter took the card, bowed slightly, and said with a smile:
"Sir, the actual consumption of 11 copper coins this time has not yet met the reduction limit!"
The card was handed back to Sam.
"It's really possible to trade! So fast! So magical!"
"How on earth did they do that!"
Sam was surprised inwardly.
He recalled being in a town in the Kingdom of Reyak.
Whether you go to a pub or somewhere else, you have to carry a lot of coins with you at all times.
The exchange ratio is that 1 silver coin is equivalent to about 100 copper coins. Sometimes transactions can be very inconvenient.
Especially for things that cost around 50 coppers, you often have to pour out a lot of broken copper plates from your wallet at once, and then count them one by one with great pains.
Especially when you encounter small vendors who move erratically, you have to watch them carefully.
Prevent the other party from sneaking away a few coins while you are not paying attention.
What about Xiwei Ling?
He doesn't even need to bring a money bag, he just needs to bring a card and the transaction is completed in the blink of an eye!
Soon, the so-called "adventurer's single meal" was served by the waiter.
The bread is as soft and delicious as ever, but the portion has been reduced to one-fifth of its original size;
A small plate of sweet and sour jam. Sam wasn't sure what it was made of, but the taste was very appetizing to him. Spreading it on bread was appetizing;
There is also a bowl of stew that exudes the aroma of meat, which is just right to solve the problem of dry throat after eating bread. After one sip, the whole person warms up. There is simply no more enjoyable thing in the world!
A set of 6 copper coins is just enough for Sam to eat for 7 minutes.
"This is a great deal!"
Sam was thinking and calculating while eating.
The same food, the texture and taste are not as good as the one in the Gold Tavern. In the Kingdom of Reyak, it costs at least 20 coppers, or even more.
This new territory that appeared in the Dark Forest sells all kinds of things cheaper than the Kingdom of Reyak. It's incredible.
If it can be guaranteed to be safe, Sam even wants to settle here!
...
After filling his stomach, Sam went to the magic scroll shop in the territory according to his original plan.
When he came back last time, he only heard about it.
It is said that the magic scrolls in Xiwei Territory are also quite cheap!
Finding a small shop called "Yan Magic Supplies Store" with a lord's direct license, Sam walked in with curiosity.
"Welcome! Our store mainly sells 1st and 2nd level magic scrolls, and also purchases various magic materials. Does the customer need anything?"
Sam looked at the counter of the store a little nervously.
It displays various magic scrolls that exude the energy of arcane.
"The 1st level magic ice arrow scroll is priced at 34 silver coins. Isn't this more than 10 silver coins cheaper than the one in Ceylon City?"
"The 1st level feather fall scroll is only 10 silver coins here!"
"Huh?"
"The 2nd level magic flash scroll is priced at... 15 destiny points?!"
Sam was at a loss.
Magic involving space has always been a symbol of rarity and costliness. If he remembered correctly, the price of the flash scroll sold in Ceylon City was in gold coins.
And for some reason, in recent times, the [Flash] scrolls of several stores in Ceylon City have been sold out, and there are no signs of purchase.
It's hard to get one now.
I didn't expect that there was a [Flash] scroll in stock in Xiwei Territory.
But the marked price is not the conventional gold coin unit, but something Sam has never seen before.
"What is destiny point?"
...
