On the third to last day, Man Wang already had six shops under his name, one equipment shop, three beverage shops and two gourmet restaurants.
The conditions of the six stores are different. After these days of harvest, the sales of the equipment shop have begun to decline. Many people with special abilities, after getting the equipment, treat it like heirlooms and do not use it easily. Before the durability is exhausted, they almost stop buying it.
The desire to equip.
On the other hand, beverage shops and food shops are almost full at other times, except for a few free hours at night.
An equipment shop, a beverage shop and a gourmet restaurant brought Zhang Fan a total net profit of 170,000 crystal cores.
Most of this money was invested in the intelligence team and used to purchase the services of explorers.
Including nearly 200,000 crystal cores harvested from three reputation missions, they were also invested in it.
The thing that maximizes profits at this stage is reputation tasks. The more you do them, the more the store will gain, and the greater the profits will be in the end.
In order to maximize the benefits, Zhang Fan did not even upgrade the level of the thirty or so newly recruited superpowers on the front line. He only used a small part of the crystal cores to upgrade them to level four, which was barely enough.
degree.
The land reclamation team is advancing at an extremely fast pace. It has already secured a large area of land in the eastern suburbs and has used this as a foundation to expand in all directions.
Just one day passed, and the number of survivors under Zhang Fan soared again, reaching 16,400. The number of people with supernatural powers exceeded 200, reaching 203.
The progress of the land reclamation team is so fast, largely due to the help of the ace team.
Each of the reputation tasks costs a lot of money. Zhang Fan spent more than 200,000 yesterday to obtain three pieces of useful information.
Basically, three tasks were completed in one morning, and the Ace Team spent the rest of the time helping the land reclamation team.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Zhang Fan got up early and came to the conference room in the Blue Building that was reserved for people with special abilities.
After entering, everyone from the Ace Team and the Intelligence Team were already there.
"Good morning, Lord Barbarian King..."
"Good morning, Lord Barbarian King..."
Zhang Fan pressed his hand and said: "Good morning everyone, I'll call you next time and let's get straight to the point..."
Upon seeing this, the leader of the intelligence team, Hao Wenwen, quickly stood up and began to compile the intelligence received from each city.
"Lord Barbarian King, I received 300,000 crystal cores from you yesterday, and obtained all the information on 10 prestige missions in total..."
"I'm lucky this time. Among the 10 reputation missions, 6 are mutant beasts with single-target skills..."
Zhang Fan's eyes lit up and he praised: "Well done!"
300,000 yuan was not wasted, which is equivalent to spending 50,000 yuan on one piece of information, which is better than yesterday.
Hao Wenwen's face was filled with joy, and she continued: "Lord Barbarian King, there is another piece of information. Our White Tiger City Gate in Kun City has cleared the King-level dungeon and entered the center of the city..."
"Three more people have been added to the city center's reputation ranking list. There are currently a total of eight people on the list..."
"Among the eight people, the leader, Canglang King, is still very powerful, with a cumulative reputation of 2,900 points..."
The White Tiger City Gate reaches the center of the city...
Zhang Fan was startled for a moment. According to the intelligence calculation, the progress of White Tiger City Gate should be slower than that of Suzaku City Gate, but now it is faster.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. From his perspective, no matter it was the White Tiger City Gate or the Suzaku City Gate, there was no one in particular who needed attention. In Kun City, the only person he needed to pay attention to was the Canglang King.
Then, the intelligence team talked about some developments in other cities. Zhang Fan saw that there was no important information, so he asked them to disband.
Then, he took the six existing pieces of information and led the Ace Team members to the Sky City.
After walking only a few steps, I received a message from Wang Juting.
"Lord Barbarian King, there is something going on in the equipment market. It seems that the Tigers have begun to sell equipment at a reduced price..."
Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment and opened the cloud to take a look. Sure enough, among the ascending prices, there was a batch of low-priced equipment hanging on it.
"Is anyone else in the store?"
"Here, the price just changed..."
Hearing this, Zhang Fan walked towards the equipment shop and said, "Tell him and I'll be there right away."
Soon, Zhang Fan arrived at the equipment store. In the store, Menghu was chatting with Wang Juting and others.
Seeing Zhang Fan coming in and seeing a bunch of powerful superpowers guarding outside the store, Tiger looked a little complicated. People who were similar to him at first have now become the overlords of the party.
"Barbarian King, you are here..."
Zhang Fan nodded and said, "Did you lower the price?"
The tiger shrugged and said, "I have no choice. I can only follow the orders from above..."
Wang Juting glanced at the tiger and sent a message to Zhang Fan: "I bribed several people in the Peach Blossom Queen's team and got an information. A man named Dou Sword King proposed to buy information about the reputation mission from the tiger...
"
"The Tigers agreed, and the two parties reached an agreement. One hundred thousand crystal cores for a prestige mission..."
One hundred thousand crystal nuclei?
Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment. Normally, the information for a prestige mission is only 30,000, but the type is not limited.
He asked rhetorically: "Did their deal say anything about restricting single mutant beasts or group mutant beasts?"
"No, Queen Peach Blossom's team doesn't know that there is a single-target mutant beast in the prestige mission. They have been holding on to the group-skill mutant beast that they fought before..."
"...It's really stupid!"
Zhang Fan burst into laughter. They seemed to have made the right choice, but this was based on the truly optimal situation. Looking at the past from his perspective, the other party seemed a bit stupid, but in the eyes of the other party, their current choice
, indeed quite correct.
Zhang Fan paused for a moment, turned to look at the tiger, and said: "What do you people above mean? Do you want to keep the price to the lowest, or how to adjust it?"
The tiger looked helpless and said: "I don't know either. Since I was abandoned, our department has basically been squeezed out of the core circle. We don't know the decisions above..."
Zhang Fan said with some dissatisfaction: "Let's keep the price the same, eat slowly. You and I are almost the same. If you lower the price, it will harm everyone's interests..."
"We can't slow down anymore!"
The tiger shook his head and said: "After the king-level copy is cleared, our Xuanwu City Gate will be integrated into the center of the city. At that time, the cloud equipment will be opened and connected with the cloud equipment of other city gates..."
Zhang Fan is also aware of this, and he plans to make another fortune before he clears the King's dungeon alone. However, judging from the tiger's intention, he wants to say something.
Zhang Fan pretended not to understand and said: "Why do you need to open a king-level dungeon? The worst thing you can do is not open it all the time. You can slowly earn money by grinding equipment..."
Menghu shook his head and said: "With your current situation, the equipment shop business can only earn one hundred thousand crystal cores a day. The further you push it back, the lower the price and the less profit..."
"This amount of revenue is insignificant compared to the grandeur connected to the city center..."
Zhang Fan understood that the tiger was secretly reminding himself, telling him to clear the king-level dungeon as soon as possible and go to the center of the city.
He was a little confused and didn't understand the meaning of the tiger's actions. He frowned and said, "What do you want?"
The tiger hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head and said nothing. He just sighed: "The rules have been changed, and the bottom line is also different..."
"A protector who becomes a bully will eventually become a dragon..."
Zhang Fan seemed to understand that some changes had taken place in the tiger's camp. After some people gained strength, they had other ideas and their attitude towards ordinary people also changed.
And depending on what the tigers meant, the higher-ups in their camp were letting this situation go, and they might even be complicit behind the scenes.
Zhang Fan did not comfort him. People like Menghu did not need his comfort. He did not stop on this topic and instead said:
"I heard that the Peach Blossom Team came to you to buy information, one hundred thousand for a prestige mission, right?"
"Yes!" Menghu replied expressionlessly, as if he didn't even bother to think about why Zhang Fan knew.
Zhang Fan probed: "What do you think if I trade with them?"
The tiger frowned and looked at him coldly.
Zhang Fan coughed and said: "If you think about it carefully, since there have been changes in your camp, you are definitely unable to change it now. If you were stronger, you might have a chance to save some people in the future..."
The tiger remained silent. For people like him, hesitation represented attitude.
Zhang Fan was reassured and continued: "I don't need you to pay anything, you just need to delay the transmission of some information. Anyway, you don't know why Taohua and the others can't get the money together. Maybe it's because the equipment income is too low.
For every order, I will give you 20,000..."
The tiger is engaged in a battle between heaven and man. This kind of thing is like the first red apricot standing on the wall. It may jump out at any time.
After a long while, the tiger gritted his teeth and said: "I am for justice. The market price of an piece of information is 30,000. You take 40,000, I take 30,000..."
Zhang Fan grinned and said: "Deal!"
He currently has information on 10 group missions, all of which are junk and useless. However, in the Peach Blossom Team, this is not the case. Instead, they think it is a treasure and even offer 100,000 yuan to buy it from the Tigers.
Now, Zhang Fan has reached an agreement with Menghu. Even if the Peach Blossom Queen collects the money, Menghu will not make a deal and will transfer this channel to Zhang Fan and then give him a kickback.
After all, as long as the Tigers trade with Taohua, the money has to be turned over, but if there is no transaction, then naturally there is no need to turn it over.
The money Zhang Fan returned to Menghu was a black account, and no one else knew about it except Menghu and Zhang Fan.
Seeing that a tough guy like Menghu, with firm beliefs, was now willing to do such things that were not conducive to the team, Zhang Fan was also a little emotional. This fully demonstrated that the Menghu and his camp had undergone drastic changes. This change made Menghu a little disgusted, and even
Want to escape.
When Zhang Fan said that the handover was completed, Menghu had a special feeling, as if he had done something deviant but very satisfying.
"Barbarian King, how many people do you have under your command?"
Zhang Fan smiled half-heartedly and said, "Are you asking for yourself or for your camp?"
The tiger was stunned for a moment, understood what he meant, shook his head and said: "The camp didn't think I could get real information from you, so it didn't send such a mission..."
"I'm just asking casually, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say..."
Zhang Fan felt that he was very accurate in judging people. People like Tiger would not play dirty tricks. He nodded and said: "In this case, I will ask you as a friend. I have sixteen thousand people under my command."
There are ordinary survivors, the number of superpower users exceeds two hundred, and the number of fifth-level superpower users exceeds one hundred and two..."
"Hiss~~!"
The tiger took a breath of air and said, "Your power is so huge now?!"
Although he had expected it, he really didn't expect this answer from Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan squinted his eyes and said curiously: "I remember you said before that you have satellites passing by me..."
"Gone!"
The tiger shook his head and said: "A raptor flew into low-Earth orbit and destroyed the satellite passing by your Long'an City..."
"ah?"
Zhang Fan looked stunned and a little surprised, and said: "Can any living thing survive in that kind of environment?"
The tiger nodded and said: "There are many such creatures. According to expert analysis, it may be that the breathing method is different and has evolved..."
"However, you don't have to worry. This kind of creature seems to be a little bit drunk on oxygen. It usually lives in places with thin atmosphere, but rarely drops below 10,000 meters above the ground..."
Then, Zhang Fan chatted with Meng Hu for a while before the two parties dispersed.
After the tiger left, Zhang Fan quickly got in touch with Taohua and discussed the possibility of intelligence trading.
In the end, the two parties reached an agreement, with Zhang Fan providing all the information on the prestige mission, and the Peach Blossom Queen team giving 100,000 crystal cores.
In this way, Zhang Fan sold a copy of the reputation mission information of the group skill mutant beast that was supposed to be discarded for 100,000 crystal cores...
The Peach Blossom Queen knew that Zhang Fan was a second-rate dealer, but they didn't know how much Zhang Fan earned.
It can only be said that when the Tigers first negotiated with the Peach Blossom Queen team, they set the price at an extremely exaggerated level.
Zhang Fan just got a bargain...
However, Zhang Fan did not breach the contract for the 100,000 crystal cores he received. Although he did not sign an agreement with the Tigers, he still gave the 30,000 crystal cores.
Zhang Fan is happy to see problems in the tiger camp. If the other party is monolithic, it will not be easy for him to liberate them.
But now, with Menghu as a potential internal force in the future, once Long'an City is almost cleaned up on his side, it's time to turn around and go to Menghu's camp.
After handling these trivial matters, Zhang Fan thought for a moment and sent a message to Xu Sulan's personal guard.
"If I want to cut leeks on a large scale, what should I do about equipment store membership?"
After a while, Xu Sulan sent a message: "Let the public opinion go first and publicize the benefits of owning individual memberships..."
"Then, issue a statement to all members to crack down on second-rate dealers. All private transactions will be blacklisted, and equipment stores will not sell them..."
"Mobilize the members whose discount is less than 40% off. These people are just outsiders. It is basically difficult for them to get the benefits of second-tier dealers. We should crack down on the second-tier dealers and make their members valuable..."
"Pull a group, win a group, and drive a group. The public opinion will be circulated for two days to ensure that most people support it, and then the membership system will be opened..."
"Would they really agree to such a thing?" Zhang Fan was a little worried.
"Lord Barbarian King, please rest assured that people are not worried about scarcity, but about inequality. It is in line with human nature to crack down on the opportunistic behavior of second-rate dealers, and you will get support..."
"Would this be different from what I said before?"
"What you said before, King Xueyan, was not considerate and was not in the interests of everyone. Now you are making adjustments. You will not change the rights of members. You will only crack down on behaviors outside the contract. It will not be in the way. Besides, you can lower the price appropriately...
"
Cutting prices is exactly what the Tigers are forcing us to do. If we put price cuts into this matter, it will kill two birds with one stone.
Zhang Fan nodded and explained these matters to Wang Juting according to what Xu Sulan said.
The intelligence team is responsible for the intelligence of the eight cities in the sky, and Wang Juting is responsible for the intelligence of the Xuanwu Gate of Kun City where they are located.
With the connections that Wang Juting has managed, it is easy to bribe a group of people to set the pace. What's more, they have nearly two hundred people with superpowers under their command, and mixing among them can also stir up public opinion.
