Inside Jinxiufang.

Xia Ruier was still staring at the ceiling in a daze with a sad face, not knowing what she was thinking in her mind.

"Sister Rui'er."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came.

Xia Ruier immediately opened her eyes wide and looked around.

I saw a tall figure walking in.

"Jiang Chen?!"

Xia Ruier shouted in surprise.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Jiang Chen smiled.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xia Ruier paused, and then said with a slight complaint: "Why is this hands-off shopkeeper like you free to come here today?"

"I want to see how the fashion store is doing, but...it doesn't look very good."

Jiang Chen looked at the somewhat deserted shop and said.

"Yeah, there's a little problem."

Xia Ruier nodded helplessly.

"It's not just a small problem, is it?"

Jiang Chen asked: "Who were those people just now?"

"Did you see that?"

Xia Ruier's eyes suddenly showed grievance, and she said helplessly: "They are members of the Julu City Merchants United Guild."

"Julu City Merchants United Guild?"

Jiang Chen had a thoughtful look on his face, he was a little unfamiliar with this name.

"Well, it's a chamber of commerce. More than 80% of the merchants in Julu City have joined them."

Xia Ruier explained.M.

"Are they causing trouble for you?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"Their vice-president approached me before and wanted me to join them, but I refused, and then they monopolized a silk thread material needed for making fashion clothes."

Xia Ruier said with a headache: "The current price of such materials in the trading house is more than 10 times higher than before."

"Are you so financially wealthy?"

Jiang Chen whispered to himself.

He knew that the gods were very large, and even if they wanted to monopolize common living materials, they would probably have to spend millions or even tens of millions of Chinese coins to do so.

Moreover, the monopoly can only be achieved for a period of time, one or two months at most, and it cannot last for a long time.

Monopoly is not something ordinary people can do.

"The thugs from their chamber of commerce have been threatening me these past few days. Only by joining them can I buy materials at relatively normal prices."

Xia Ruier said full of resentment: "As a result, I haven't made any fashion for many days."

"I probably understand."

Jiang Chen pondered thoughtfully, and then said: "You should have told me earlier about the things you can't handle."

"Originally, I planned to develop new fashions myself, which don't require that kind of silk material, and I'm about to make them."

Xia Ruier said very sadly: "However, the new fashion design needs to be completed to complete the tasks of the Tailors Association. I didn't expect that they came over and threatened to kill me as long as I went to do tasks in the wild.

"

"Kill you?"

Jiang Chen sneered and said immediately: "Then go to the wild and let them come and kill you."

"Um?"

Xia Ruier was startled for a moment.

"There are still dozens of minutes until we are forced to log out. We should take advantage of this time to resolve this matter."

Jiang Chen said as he walked towards the door: "Let's go to the wild."

"Okay."

Although she was a little confused, Xia Ruier still followed her out of Jinxiufang.

Soon, the two left the mansion together.

As soon as I walked out of the gate, many players coming and going greeted me enthusiastically.

"Dust God!"

"It's the great god of mortal world!"

"The God of Dust is awesome, bringing glory to the Chinese server!"

…

Hearing the compliments from the players around him, Jiang Chen had no choice but to speed up his pace and quickly arrived at the main city square alone, heading towards the teleportation array out of the city.

Because he moved very quickly, he quickly distanced himself from Xia Ruier.

The latter could only look at his back and walk behind as fast as he could, barely keeping up.

Immediately, Jiang Chen entered the teleportation array on the east side of the square.

With a flash of white light, he was teleported to the east gate of Julu City.

After more than ten seconds, Xia Ruier also entered the teleportation array.

At the east city gate, there are very few players coming and going.

Because the servers are about to be merged, very few people go to the wild anymore.

After Jiang Chen teleported here, he walked straight out of the city gate alone.

After a while, he found a relatively far away location where he could see the city gate and hid.

Immediately afterwards, he sent a message to Xia Ruier.

[Jiang Chen: Sister Rui'er, just wait outside the city gate, I will watch you elsewhere.]

[Ruier: Well, I understand. 】

Later, Xia Ruier also arrived outside the east city gate.

She stood about twenty or thirty meters outside the city gate and waited quietly.

…

at this time.

A group of people were gathering in a shop on the commercial street on the west side of Julu City.

Located in the center is a slightly fat man about thirty years old.

There are still two mustaches on his mouth.

His ID and real name are both [Wang Shang], and he is the president of the Julu City Merchants United Guild.

Standing on his left and right were two key members of the guild, one male and one female.

The man is tall and thin, with narrow eyes.

The woman's figure is plump, and although she is nearly forty, her charm is still there.

Both of these men are real businessmen, even in reality.

And standing opposite them were none other than Brother Iron Fist.

"That Rui'er still refuses to cooperate?"

Wang Shang's voice sounded energetic.

"Yes, President, and I just learned that she is out of town."

Brother Iron Fist is a completely different person than he was before. He looks extremely well-behaved now, not at all as arrogant as he was at Jinxiufang.

"Out of town?!"

Wang Shang's voice suddenly rose an octave, and he said angrily: "We can't let her go out of the city to do tasks. If you don't kill people, why are you here?"

"That's the kind of president you are."

Brother Iron Fist explained: "According to the information obtained, she seems to know Fanchen, and Fanchen has also left the city."
