Chapter 27: Opening of City-State retail department

This time Lu Jiu only kept a hundred catties of pork to make barbecue and gave the rest to the restaurant.

The generous rich woman directly invited Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun and his daughter to have a barbecue together. Zhuang Antong, who has always been sensible, had enough black pork in front of her.

After a hearty meal, Zhuang Yun took his daughter back so as not to disturb the two bosses, while Lu Jiu lazily leaned on the sofa.

“After fighting the BOSS this time, I can’t keep a low profile.” There was no way to do it. As a city lord, if she got good things, she must make her store earn good.

“As long as the city lord’s vest is intact. By the way, when will you open the city-state retail department?”

Shen Jufeng asked about the retail department that can only be opened in a second-level city-state. The authority to open this small store was with the city lord, and there were settings for who could shop in the store.

Of course, it can also be opened to all city-state residents, it depends on the city owner.

Currently, none of the second-tier city-states they know talked about the small shop on the dialogue box, or if this small shop sells good things.

Some pioneer players want to keep the dialogue box exclusive to themselves.

Why? Because there were trumpet seeds in the retail department. These seeds will become small trumpets, and everyone will have the opportunity to speak in the dialogue box.

Maybe no one started it, so other city-states followed suit and did not open it to all residents.

“Maybe these two days. I can’t keep a low profile anyway, so let Xuantian City become famous overnight. I will open the retail department to all residents.”

The pioneer players have certain resources themselves. They want to firmly sit at the top position, but development still depends on everyone’s contribution.

“Are there enough flower pots?” Shen Jufeng himself bought a few flower pots early and was waiting to buy morning glory seeds.

“It should be. I have already asked the forging shop to expedite the production, added two mining teams, and assigned a deputy and two apprentices to the shop manager.”

As long as she has learned blacksmith skills, she can make flower pots, but the NPC she hired was talented. The flower pots he makes have acceleration effects, which can speed up the maturity of morning glory.

This flower pot can accelerate the ripening effect, and it needs not only soil but also specific ore.

With these speakers, everyone can trade in the dialogue box. As for whether there will be better trumpet seeds after the upgrade, Lu Jiu, the city lord, doesn’t know.

“When we get on the right track, we can subtly attract more people to come. I think it will not be difficult to collect 5,000 contribution points in the future.”

Lu Jiu thought the same: “Then I guess a lot of pioneer players will hate me. Because once I take the lead, they will have to take advantage of it, unless they don’t realize the importance of the number of residents.”

When she thought of this, she became a little excited, and she could also influence the decisions of other city-states.

“Even if we open at the same time, we have to be the best one.” Shen Jufeng tapped his fingers on the sofa, thinking of other plans in his mind.

“However, I still want to limit the purchase, so that people with more money can’t directly monopolize it. Each person is limited to buying five flower pots. What do you think?”

Lu Jiu needs his opinion, at least he has managed a large enterprise.

Shen Jufeng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lu Jiu, suddenly, he felt that this girl could be taught: “Yes, I also think it’s necessary to limit the purchase. As long as each person has a few of these things, the purchase restriction policy will be released after it becomes popular.”

“Then it’s decided.”

Xuantian City here has made many pioneer players curious. Within two days, Xuantian City announced the opening of the city-state retail department.

[System prompt: Xuantian City city-state retail department is open to all city residents, you can inquire and purchase retail department products in the mission hall.]

It was the first time that residents in the city had heard of a retail department. There was already a shopping mall, and there was also a department store. Why build a retail department?

Immediately, many residents went to the mission hall and indeed found the retail department, which only sold three kinds of things, the mission book, trumpet seeds, and low-grade chemical fertilizers.

[Quest Scroll]

After wearing it, the income can be increased by 5% each time.

[Ordinary trumpet seedling]

This is a magical plant. After planting and flowering, small trumpets can be harvested. The small trumpets can be used to speak in the same city dialogue box. It takes 42 hours to mature, and each flower pot can harvest 8 small trumpets.

[Low-Grade Fertilizer]

This is a magic fertilizer that can reduce the growth time of plants by 10 hours.

Although the quantity was small, they were all good things. Especially the mission book and trumpet seeds. How many people want to speak on the dialogue channel?

The Quest Scroll can be purchased on different days: 7/15/30 days. The prices differ from the day: to 7/13/20 copper coins. People can purchase it respectively.

It was okay to buy a one-time purchase for 365 days from the local tyrant’s point of view. As long as people have enough copper coins.

Ten trumpet seeds cost 5 copper coins, which can also be purchased in stacks.

“Great, with a small speaker, I can at least post a missing person notice on the dialogue channel, and I’m sure I can find my family.”

“You can also try to trade with other cities after planting it. Other cities haven’t started selling it yet.”

Professional players, aside from valuing trumpet seeds, also like the Quest Scroll. Buying one and using it can increase the income of killing a wild monster by 5%!

At this time, the residents only think about buying: Buy, buy, buy!

Soon, all the registered residents in Xuantian City received an email from the city owner.

[Dear residents of Xuantian City, I have opened the city-state retail department. I believe many of you will buy trumpet seeds. These trumpet seeds must be planted in a flower pot. Anyone who has the skill of a blacksmith can make a flower pot. As long as the system approves it, it can be used. Xuantian Blacksmith Shop also sells flowerpots, which have the effect of accelerating growth. Currently, each resident is temporarily limited to buying 5 pieces. As for the Quest Scroll, it is recommended for every resident who goes out of the city to clear the wilderness to wear them but doesn’t buy them for too many days. Just buy them once a month. In the future, there will be better updates when the city-state is upgraded. Finally, In the end, I hope we can work together to survive.]

The mail was named after the city owner. However, it was a system email, but it was edited and sent by the city owner herself.

“I didn’t expect the city lord can send system mails to the residents. I’ve learned a lot.”

“Why I have never heard about the retail department on the dialogue box?”

They also knew that there was a store opening in the second-tier city-state before, but they just thought that they were all city-states established by the pioneer players, so there was no need to run around, and life here was relatively easy.

So people from Phantom City came to pull people’s heads, but no one wanted to leave.

“God knows…”

Although they said so, some people probably understood the intentions of those city lords.

Some people simply don’t want to buy things from the retail department. Anyway, there were no restrictions on these purchases, mainly flower pots.

A long queue formed in the blacksmith shop in an instant. The store manager and deputy store manager with strong physiques were still processing and rushing to make flower pots.

At the entrance of the store, it was written that there was a purchase limit of five flower pots per person, and everyone was aware of it.

Zhuang Yun himself has blacksmith skills, but he still comes to the store to buy them. After all, he can’t make flowerpots with speed-up effects.

After buying the flowerpot, he found that it looked like an ordinary flowerpot with a caliber of 18 cm. Today, he was the only one in line. Her daughter can line up and buy them later.
