Chapter 665 Buying a Shop

"Go to Biehe City and give this letter of recommendation to the Assassin Mentor. He will assign me a job transfer task..."

After receiving the job transfer task, Chen Ming no longer stayed and left the place directly.

He didn't care how shocked the players were, and he didn't care whether the Qingzhu Gang would retaliate... Existences of these levels were completely out of his sight now.

"I got the job transfer mission, but I'll do it later."

"Now go and take down the shops."

Put away letters of recommendation.

Chen Ming went straight to the shop trading center in Izumo City.

Unlike the bustling Adventurer's Guild, this place is deserted. There are no players except NPCs.

After all, he was the only one qualified to purchase.

Entering the trading center, Chen Ming immediately saw a picture posted in the center of the hall.

It's a map of Izumo Castle, an extra-large version.

But what is different from the maps that players can see is that this map does not have those complicated legends. Instead, it uses a variety of colors to mark different locations in the city.

White, green, blue, purple...

This color is very familiar.

It seems to be the grade of the equipment?

Looking at the detailed notes in the lower right corner of the map, sure enough, different colors represent different rarities of the shops.

Like the equipment level, white is the lowest and purple is the highest.

The difference lies in location and size.

Most of the white shops are located in the corners, and it can be said that there is almost no traffic.

The slightly better green ones are slightly closer to the main road, but only close to it, not located in it.

Once you reach the blue level, you can appear on the main roads and near various city gates.

As for the most conspicuous purple, there are only three of them on the entire map.

They are near the teleportation array, the notice board, and the city lord's mansion.

Needless to say, the teleportation array has a huge flow of people.

Many announcements, bounties, tasks, etc. will be posted at the notice board, which is also a place frequented by players.

As for the city lord's mansion.

This kind of place, located in the center of the city, close to the emperor's feet, naturally has an unusual price.

With just one glance, Chen Ming fell in love with the three purple-level shops.

Since we are going to open it, we must open the best one!

"By the way..."

"Are there no orange-level shops or red-level shops?"

Chen Ming murmured in confusion.

Unexpectedly, the NPC heard his soliloquy and responded without raising his head: "Yes, but Izumo City does not... Only the third-level main city and the second-level main city will unlock those two levels. But, It’s a sky-high price.”

Chen Ming turned around and found that the person who answered him was the NPC responsible for selling the shop.

He walked over and asked with a chuckle, "Brother, I want to buy a purple-level shop. Do you have any requirements?"

Purple?

Only then did the NPC put down the book in his hand and raised his head to look at Chen Ming.

"Purple? There are only three purple-level shops in the entire Izumo City. Are you sure?"

"I am sure."

The NPC closed the book directly this time and looked at Chen Ming seriously. "The reputation required to buy a purple-level shop is very high... Oh, you are enough."

"Then just pay."

Chen Ming had already seen the price on the map just now.

The prices of those three purple shops are almost the same.

The prices are respectively 55 gold and 500 silver, 51 gold and 950 silver, and 58 gold and 200 silver.

In order to buy the shop, he took all the gold coins from the guild territory.

He currently has 370 gold coins on his body.

The tycoon among the tycoons.

So, he waved his hand and said, "Then I want all three!"

three...

All? !

The old man was stunned.

Chen Ming's heroic spirit refreshed his understanding.

But soon, he came back to his senses and smiled, "It's a good idea for young people to try their best, but they can't be too ambitious... Each person can only buy one store at a time, and the monthly profit from your store operation Only after meeting the assessment standards can you get a second chance to purchase.”

"Similarly, if you want to buy a third shop, you need to build a second shop."

"Of course, the more shops you own, the higher the taxes will be. So, this shopping mall is like a battlefield, it's not that easy to mess around, young man."

I see……

Only then did Chen Ming realize why there hadn't been such capital giants in his previous life, monopolizing the entire city's shops with one person's power.

It turns out there is such a rule in it.

"Then I want this shop with 58 gold and 200 silver."

Chen Ming chose the most expensive one.

That is, the shop next to the teleportation array.

Any player who arrives at Izumo Castle will see this shop at first sight.

Absolute gold pavement.

"Wow!"

Chen Ming was deducted 58 gold and 200 silver by the system.

At the same time, a golden contract fell into the old man's hands.

But he did not hand it over directly to Chen Ming, but spoke aloud skillfully.

"Young man, the shop already belongs to you. You can go to the shop to operate it... Note that Izumo City will collect a certain tax every day."

"The specific value depends on yesterday's business index."

"Deduct it from your operating profits."

"If your business amount is too low and does not meet the tax deduction standard, it will not be deducted based on the percentage of the business amount, but a fixed tax of 1 gold coin will be charged."

"When the balance in your store is not enough to pay, you will be in debt. You need to come to me within seven days to pay the debt... If you are in arrears for seven days in a row, your store will be repossessed by us and you will not get any compensation."

"Of course, if you feel that the business can no longer continue, you can come to me and sell the shop. This way you can recover some of your money, haha."

The old man kindly talked about a series of money-making contracts.

After hearing this, Chen Ming felt his head was as big as a bucket.

No wonder so many shops closed down and were transferred in the previous life... The skills here are no less complicated than running a shop in reality.

I hope that with the reputation of Pearl Jade White Jade Soup, I can run the store well.

Chen Ming took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand."

Only after receiving the old man's nod could Chen Ming take over the contract.

With the contract in hand, Chen Ming was finally able to leave the trading center and walk towards the shop...
