No. 97, Beta Town Pedestrian Street, where the ‘D&K’ store is located.
As Beta Town, or the most prosperous commercial street on Phuket Island, the Pedestrian Street is home to hundreds of shops of various sizes and reputations.
Well-known ones, such as the office of Martin Tol Alchemy Company in Beta Town, or the First University Branch of Fitzer Magic Potion Company, or Green Grocery Store, which specializes in wholesale department stores - these companies are not only in Phuket Island,
He is famous in the wizarding world and even in the multiverse.
Less famous ones include Miaomiao Dessert Shop located next to Shuangtangji, and Dingding Financial and Pesticide Company, which is holding an opening ceremony - these shops have either not been established for a long time, or have not officially opened yet, although they are similar to
Those famous shops and companies all stand on the same street, but the eyes of passers-by often slide over their signs and fall on other more famous shops.
It must be admitted that as a newly opened store, the name 'Ding Ding Financial and Pest Control Company' is a bit difficult to pronounce. Although 'D&K' as a signboard has tried its best to simplify the complexity brought by the original name, it is difficult to say
What deep impression do the students of a university have on this new company? If we have to say what impression D&K will leave on everyone, perhaps that impression comes more from the neighbor of 'D&K', the homeless bar.
Yes, D&K is located diagonally opposite Wandering Bar.
When decorating the shop, Zheng Qing once tried: if he stood behind the shop window, he could clearly see every wizard who came in and out of the Wandering Bar and the runes embroidered on their robes.
Sometimes you can even see the pink tongue popping out of the janitor frog at the Wandering Bar.
This is not a good thing.
Because the wizarding world is like other worlds in the multiverse, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes.
Originally Zheng Qing didn't want to rent this shop.
But on the one hand, the hunting team's budget is very limited - excluding stocking, decoration and other expenses, the rental budget left for them is less than fifty jade coins. If it is in the North or South District of Beta Town, fifty jade coins
Jade coins can buy a luxury villa with an independent garden; even in the west or east areas of Beta Town, fifty jade coins can rent a spacious store.
But this is a pedestrian street.
This is the busiest commercial street of First University.
In this business district, if you throw fifty jade coins in, you won't even hear a sound.
That is, it is close to the famous gray market near the Wandering Bar. There are many unscrupulous wizards coming and going, and "magic rampage incidents" often occur, causing the rent of a small area around the bar to be on this street.
A cave-in was formed, giving the Exoneration Hunting Team an opportunity to pick up leaks that could not be called 'picking up leaks'.
As for another reason why Zheng Qing finally made the decision to rent this shop, it was because there was a shop at No. 99 Pedestrian Street, which was only one store away from No. 97 Pedestrian Street.
The signature of this store is Sanyou Bookstore.
That's right, it's the Sanyou Bookstore that Mr. Wu opened in Yunhua Community where Zheng Qing had been copying posts for more than ten years. The name is exactly the same.
Because the facade of Shop No. 99 was somewhat concave, and because it had not been opened for a long time and the signboard was covered with dust, the young public-funded student did not notice the name of Shop No. 99 at first.
When the young wizards of the Exoneration Hunting Team were standing outside the shop discussing whether to rent this shop, their discussion alerted the owner of Shop No. 98, Mu Mingzi - located between D&K and Sanyou Bookstore.
It is a shop that mainly sells all kinds of strange and strange amulets. The name of the shop is the same as the name of the shop owner, "Mu Mingzi". But I don't know whether it is because the shop specializes in amber wood amulets, or because the shop owner's ID is
His name is Mu Mingzi.
In short, when the young wizards and the intermediary were having fierce and tense negotiations on rent and leasing issues outside Shop No. 97, the shop owner Mu Mingzi pushed open the window of Mu Mingzi's shop, stuck his head out, and shouted at the sharp-mouthed man with monkey cheeks.
The agent shouted:
"Grandma Crystal has said that the shops surrounding Wandering Bar are not suitable for business... After all, you are also an old man in the town, why are you deceiving these young people?!"
Crystal Granny Zheng Qing knew that it was shop No. 96 on Pedestrian Street, which was the nickname of the owner of the shop on the left side of the shop Zheng Qing planned to rent.
Shop No. 96 is a divination shop. It is said that the owner is a very skilled psychic and has high attainments in crystal ball divination. Many girls who believe in old-school divination like to come to this shop on weekends.
After hearing Mu Mingzi's warning, the young wizards were frightened and subconsciously took a step back, as if they were planning to give up on signing the contract.
The agent was immediately in a panic.
"Granny Crystal curses many customers to death every day...but the death rate in Beta Town has never been that high, hahahaha." The slightly hunched agent laughed and looked at the young wizards nervously,
He breathed a sigh of relief: "If you sincerely want to rent, I can lower the annual rent to sixty-five jade coins."
Originally he planned to ask for a rent of seventy jade coins, but with Mu Mingzi's interference, the agent decided to cut the knot quickly and rent out the shop first. After finally meeting a few silly young people, he must not let them run away.
Already.
"If you don't believe it, you can take a look at the Sanyou Bookstore next to me." Noticing the hesitation of the young wizards, Mu Mingzi called out again: "...because it is located near the Wandering Bar, and the business is so bad that only Spider is willing to
Visit this store.”
"Sanyou Bookstore?!" Zheng Qing was stunned, turned around and looked at the store's sign.
Sure enough, through the thick dirt and dust, the characters "Sanyou Bookstore" could still be vaguely made out.
He walked a few steps and came to the window of the bookstore - as expected, like the Sanyou Bookstore in Damingfang, this Sanyou Bookstore was also dead silent. Except for a few empty bookshelves, there were only criss-crossing shelves.
The spider web and the figures of the little spiders crawling around on the web.
"Forty jade coins." Zheng Qing turned around and looked at the agent: "The annual rent is forty jade coins, and we will rent it...and we will sign a four-year long-term contract with you!"
"Forty-five coins, I guarantee that the annual rent increase will not exceed 5%!" The agent hesitated for a moment and immediately offered new conditions.
"Deal!" Zheng Qing stretched out his hand and shook it tightly with the agent.
The other wizards in the Exoneration Hunting Team all noticed the serious expression on the public servant's face and kept silent. Mu Mingzi, on the other hand, cursed in a low voice, "You don't know the heart of a good person", retracted his head, and closed the window of the shop hard.
