[Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the first half of the Hong Kong Island series of dungeons. The second half of the story is about to begin. Please wait...]
Li Yi finally chose to leave. Although it took some time, he didn't know what the final effect would be. It can be seen from the feedback sent back by the system.
At least, the system has defaulted to his "cultivation" of women.
It turns out that preventing the birth of an ogre is such a difficult task. If I had known this earlier, I might as well have killed his parents from the beginning.
Li Yi was thinking in his mind, and the panel showed that the transmission had started.
A ray of light flashed past, and Li Yi, who had been near Gang Port Avenue just now, disappeared into the air.
Opening his eyes again, and after a little recognition, he knew where he was.
It's still Hong Kong Island, but time has changed.
If we talk about Hong Kong Island in the first half, it gives people the impression that it is rough, violent, backward, and has no hope.
So in the same place, at different times, the scene in front of him gave Li Yi the feeling: full of vitality.
Yes, the period when he came was the period when Hong Kong Island was booming. The residents of the island and foreign merchants were full of confidence and vowed to build the largest island in the East into the largest trading port city in the world.
In Hong Kong during this period, the most popular saying was: Talking about money hurts feelings, talking about feelings hurts money, so there is no need to talk about it, just go find the money.
Yes, during this period of Hong Kong Island, the economy was developing rapidly, and what people cared about most was their wallets.
For the sake of their own wallets, everyone on Hong Kong Island is constantly working hard and creating miracles one after another.
At this time, Li Yi stood in front of a unique building, constantly looking at the target this time.
This time, the system was very considerate and sent him directly to the mission location, and directly issued the mission target.
[Task (extra forty-fourth floor): Find the legendary forty-fourth floor in Haiyin Building and survive there for more than seventy-two hours. If successful, you will enter the next link]
[Explanation: This miraculous building is the result of the hard work of the people of Hong Kong. It is said that this building with a total height of more than 150 meters has a total of 43 floors. But for some reason, some people always claim that,
I have been to the forty-fourth floor that does not exist, so one day, out of curiosity, you came here...]
After reading the mission, Li Yi gave it a try. As expected, his original abilities were once again restricted, and he became an ordinary person again.
Fortunately, he was mentally prepared, so he didn't pay too much attention. However, he didn't immediately follow the mission to find the legendary forty-fourth floor. Instead, he bought a newspaper and found a densely populated area.
I ordered a wonton noodle from a tea restaurant and ate it happily while reading the newspaper.
After absorbing the experience and lessons from the first half, Li Yi understood the importance of intelligence and did not rush straight to the mission location. Anyway, the mission only required him to find the forty-fourth floor and survive for more than three days. Before he found it,
, there are no restrictions, so why not collect intelligence first?
Because he had not paid attention to the collection of intelligence before, he did not discover the key to the mission immediately, which also caused him to waste a lot of time. Although the system recognized his approach, he finally successfully passed the level.
But Li Yi always felt that there was a knot in his heart, which made him unable to let go.
This was the first time he chose not to clear the level, but to understand the situation first.
It took about one meal, plus some money for food and tea, and Li Yi asked a lot of useful information from several people.
"Here, do you see that?" A middle-aged man wearing a sweat towel on his shoulders and dressed as a coolie pointed at a woman across the road who had just walked out of Haiyin Building and said.
"You said she is the manager of this building?" Li Yi understood what the other party meant.
"Isn't that right? Don't look at this woman who looks quiet, young and beautiful, but she is a really capable person. Han Weng is such a shrewd person, but she coaxed her around, even leaving his life and property to her.
Reasonable." The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Brother, tell me." Li Yi tried to please him and ordered some snacks to put beside the middle-aged man, not forgetting to add a pot of herbal tea.
"Hey, it's okay. The sun is so bright today anyway, I guess it won't be possible to start work. Humph! I won't pay any high-temperature fees, so a ghost will help him start work." Seeing that Li Yi was so sensible, the middle-aged man simply said that he knew everything.
Five Ten said it out.
It turns out that the Haiyin Building opposite was originally the property of a fruit merchant surnamed Han. Speaking of the middle-aged man, Han Weng, he was a well-known local figure. When he was young, he went to the battlefield with his father and was responsible.
After being injured and receiving a pension after the war, he did not choose to sit back and live in vain, but dragged his injured leg to Hong Kong Island, hoping to find some business.
Hard work paid off. In just a short time, Han Sheng had his sights set on the rarest species on Hong Kong Island - the fresh fruit business.
Although Hong Kong Island was located in a tropical climate at that time, due to the lack of suitable soil and correct cultivation methods, the price of fruits on the island was completely dependent on imports, and prices remained high.
And because the weather in Hong Kong Island is hot in July, most of the fruits shipped in from other places rot before they reach the destination. The gain outweighs the loss. Therefore, most of the time, the fruit business on Hong Kong Island is not a promising business.
It’s not because of anything else. First, the price is too high for ordinary people to consume, and the loss on the road is too high. If you are not careful, it is easy to lose money in hot weather.
This resulted in the fact that it was a scarce business, but no one cared about it, and it was this scarce business that no one paid attention to that Han Sheng was targeting.
"Then how did he do it?" Hearing this, Li Yida was interested and asked.
"Haha, young people, don't think you young people are smart. When it comes to doing business, I'm afraid you foreigners can't keep up with us Hong Kong Islanders, let alone Koreans." The middle-aged man took a sip of herbal tea.
He showed off proudly.
Fortunately, he finally said it, which made Li Yi greatly admire Han Weng, whom he had never met before.
"Speaking of that time, almost no one understood what Han Weng did, and almost no one thought about what to do. Hey, guess what? He directly made canned fruits from fresh fruits and sold them on Hong Kong Island.
, due to its high quality and low price, and the use of fresh fruits, it was immediately loved by everyone on Hong Kong Island as soon as it was launched. So Han Weng immediately relied on this advantage to quickly monopolize the entire canned fruit on Hong Kong Island.
business and became a famous canning tycoon."
Li Yi suddenly realized that this was what happened.
But at the same time, he became even more curious.
"Then how did the young lady across the street conquer this shrewd Mr. Han?"
