Chapter 44 A Day in the Life of an Acting Store Manager
Just as Dali was concentrating on processing, the doorbell rang, and a strange woman's voice called: "Is Mr. Osama here?"
Dali was surprised and said: "Who?"
The voice said: "I'm Celia, I'm here to buy something!"
"Buying something?" Dali suddenly realized that now I am the shopkeeper of the store! He quickly said: "Please wait a moment, I will open the door right away!"
As the player's identity changes, new events will be triggered. For example, Dali has been an apprentice in a jewelry store for so long, and he has never seen anyone come to buy or sell things. But when he becomes the agent store manager, business starts to come to his door.
.
When Celia saw Dali, she greeted him: "It turns out to be Mr. Dali. Really, the door is closed and there is neither a closing sign nor a business sign. If I hadn't been in an emergency, I would have thought Mr. Osama was in trouble."
"
Oh? It turns out that when you open a store, you still need to put up a sign? Dali said hurriedly: "Mr. Osama is out of town for something, so I will look after the store."
Celia said: "Is it because of Okelie? It's really unfortunate. I believe Okelie is a good girl and she will be fine."
Dali was confused. Who is this Celia? Is there this NPC in the town? But he still said politely: "Thank you Miss Celia for your concern. Miss Oqili will be fine."
"Oh ho ho!" Celia was overjoyed: "You are such a sweet-talking kid. At my age, I can be your grandma, but since you are so good at talking, I will buy more things!"
Dali's face darkened involuntarily. The age of elf women is really a mystery! Apart from looking at beards for men and listening to voices for women, as a player, Dali really has no other way to identify the age of elves, especially female elves.
"This is good, can you show me this?"
"This necklace is not bad, Mr. Dali, can you help me put it on?"
Ah, helping beautiful women wear necklaces is a good thing that Dali hopes for, but when he thinks that this woman is old enough to be his grandmother, Dali can't help but feel a chill in his heart. What a monster! Okay, calm down!
After struggling for a precious hour, this monster finally bought two pieces of jewelry worth a total of 3 gold coins.
"As expected of Mr. Dali, his attitude is really good. Few young men nowadays are so patient. I will come to visit you another day!"
Dali waved hurriedly: "Miss Celia, uh, madam, please go slowly!"
Naselia immediately turned around, sealed Dali's lips with her fingers, and said softly: "You'd better call me Miss!"
Dali's whole body felt as cold as an electric shock: "Okay, okay, little lady."
"Oh hehehe, bye!"
Dali breathed a long sigh of relief. Well, nagging, stingy, and loving beauty, Dali found a second way to identify the age of elf women.
Dali found a sign from behind the door. It said "Open, welcome" on the front and "Closed for business, welcome to patronize next time" on the back. Oh, it turns out there is such a thing when opening a store, so I put the "Open" sign on the back.
Outside the door, the jewelry processing continued.
Not long after, a voice sounded in the commotion: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"
When Dali saw them, he saw that they were a bunch of little kids. His head was about to explode: "Little friends, what's the matter? This is not a candy store."
One of the leading children said arrogantly: "We are here to do business, not to eat candy!"
Dali's face fell: "What business can you have?"
The child took out a cylindrical object: "This, this!"
Telescope! It’s quite a high-end one! No wonder the kid is so arrogant, he really has a good product! Dali hurriedly said: “Show me!”
The child warned: "No, what if you don't pay me back?"
Dali couldn't help but smile: "There are so many of you, I can't beat you! Do I dare not to retaliate?"
The child nodded: "That's true" and gave the telescope to him.
Telescope, unidentified item! This shape is unique, could it be the legal accessory "Pirate Captain Telescope"? Even if it is not it, it can only be better than it!
Dali made a sudden move: "1 gold coin, I'll take 1 gold coin!"
The children were shocked; "1 gold coin!!!"
He shook the telescope vigorously and said to himself: "It seems like it has been flooded with water? Is it broken? Isn't it worth 1 gold coin?"
The children immediately shouted: "If you agree on 1 gold coin, then it will be 1 gold coin!"
Dali smiled secretly in his heart: "Okay, okay, 1 gold coin, take it!"
All the children cheered: "We can buy a lot of candies!"
The child in the lead said hurriedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, take out all your other goods and show him!"
Are there still goods? Are all these kids stealing things? Dali began to panic. Purchasing stolen goods is a serious crime! Dali hurriedly asked: "Where did your stuff come from? Isn't it stolen?"
The children shouted angrily: "You're talking nonsense! We pick them up every day when we play at the beach!" All of a sudden, the children took out all kinds of shells, glass bottles, starfish and other colorful things.
"I picked it up, that's good, that's good, bring it over and I'll look at them one by one!" Dali picked it up and served it to the end. He patiently looked through these "treasures" one by one. At this time, a large sea snail
This kind of thing attracted Dali's attention. The name is Conch Horn. There is no unidentified item written on it. It just doesn't have any attributes. Could it be a certain mission item?
Dali asked: "What is this? Did you pick it up while playing at the beach?"
A child immediately snatched the conch back and held it in his arms: "I won't sell this!"
Yeah! You little brat, how dare you disappoint me? I still wanted to buy it: "1 gold coin, just don't sell it!"
Wow! All the children were in an uproar! They all advised, "Sell it, sell it!"
The child shook his head and hugged him tighter: "Not for sale!"
The leading child said: "If he doesn't sell it, forget it. Do you want to buy us?"
Dali said: "Buy, of course, buy this 1 copper coin, this 1 copper coin, this 1 copper coin, this 2 copper coins..."
The children asked anxiously: "Why is it so small?"
Che? They are worthless things in the first place. Purchasing these things will only tempt them to spend all their money: "Isn't that too little? Do you know how many candies can be bought with 1 copper coin?"
The children said: "5 red fructose candies, 10 glutinous rice candies, 4 milk candies..."
Dali touched the children's heads lovingly: "It's good to know. Other uncles and aunts won't want these things from you. Only by selling them to my brother can I get candies!"
All the children cheered: "Thank you, brother!" and then went out happily. The child holding the horn looked back at Dali when he went out.
After the child left, Dali finally couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart: "I'm so happy! Wow, hahaha, I bought an equipment worth hundreds of gold coins for 1 gold coin!"
But the other kid's turn seemed to be interesting, right? It doesn't matter, anyway, Dali has already made a lot of money, so it doesn't matter even if he spends 2 or 3 gold coins to buy his garbage, it would be even better if he hits a treasure.
It turns out that opening a store really has this benefit! No wonder so many players in the previous life did not practice leveling after opening a store, and became professional businessmen for the rest of their lives. However, there are also many players who got lucky once and then waited for the chance all their lives.
Dali started to process again. After a while, another person came.
A voice shouted: "Is Mr. Osama here?"
No? Is the business really that good? When Dali opened the door, hey, isn't this the hidden B-level mercenary female pirate mission npc on the beach? Because Dali firmly implements the iron rule of not triggering two hidden missions at the same time, he usually passes by.
Everyone who passed by his door was indifferent to him. Who would have thought that the old boy would actually come to his door?
He hurriedly greeted: "It turns out to be old Clifford! Welcome!"
Although he is an old fisherman, we can only judge from his beard. His strong and burly body and intertwined muscles do not show his age at all.
The old man said: "It turns out to be Mr. Dali. Mr. Osama isn't here?"
Dali said: "I just went on a long trip, it may take more than a month."
The old man sighed: "Is it because of Miss O'Kelly? Oh, what a coincidence, I'm late!"
Dali said: "Do you have anything to ask him about?"
The old man said: "Since Mr. Osama is not here, it is the same as showing the goods to Mr. Dali!" After saying this, the whole room lit up with white light, and a silver-white horn, nearly three meters long, shone brightly.
Dali's eyes widened: "Narwhal's horn!"
The old man smiled and said: "As expected of Mr. Dali, he really knows the goods! I tracked it over the North Sea for two months and finally captured it, and then I got this treasure! When I was about to sell it to Mr. Osama, I didn't expect him to have already
go out!"
Dali asked: "How much are you prepared to sell?"
The old man held out five fingers: "500 gold coins!"
Dali was stunned: "500 gold coins!"
The old man said: "You have to know that the narwhal's horn is a treasure collected by the royal family. It has miraculous effects in avoiding poisons. 500 gold coins is relatively small."
Yes, 500 gold coins for such a long narwhal horn is really a small amount! Dali was not shocked that it was too expensive, but that it was too cheap! In his previous life, he knew that there was an incident in which the human royal family once spent money
10,000 gold coins were purchased for this corner, which triggered a craze among players to go overseas.
The old man asked: "How is it? 500 gold coins are not expensive. I urgently need money to buy a bigger ship, otherwise I won't sell it!"
Dali began to make calculations. The human royal family incident should be 3 years later. Buying it now at a low price will definitely make a huge profit! And even if the history changes due to the butterfly effect, this character can still be used through certain channels, such as the black market, at least the capital can be recovered.
But he no longer has 500 gold coins! Although Osama allowed him to look after the store, the permission he was given was only to help him sell things, and he was not given permission to purchase, so it was impossible to use the boss's funds.
Dali gritted his teeth and said, "Can it be cheaper? 300 gold coins!"
The old man shook his head: "Mr. Dali is really good at joking. 500 gold coins are not less. If Mr. Dali doesn't have the money to buy it, I will have to go to the city."
Dali was anxious: "Can you wait two days! The day after tomorrow! The morning of the day after tomorrow! Maybe noon, yes, noon, then I will have enough money!" Dali pinned his hopes on the income from orders from the Holy See.
"Two days!" The old man muttered for a while: "Okay, I happen to be busy building a new ship these two days, so I will wait for you for two days!"
