The news that Little Sam’s card repair shop has changed hands surprised the neighbors. Many people are worried about the purchasing agency business and door-to-door service.
The clerks headed by Sally were even more worried, not knowing what kind of person the new boss was.
It is not easy to find a stable job with good income in this era.
But these have nothing to do with Duke.
There are more than 90 gold dragon deposits in his Spirit Dragon Card. There are also many second-hand cards that have not been sold in the small box, as well as a 2-ring thermostatic card.
The price is not low.
I quickly found a house nearby to rent, moved all my daily necessities there, and moved a set of old machines that had been eliminated, saying goodbye to Little Sam's Card Repair Shop once and for all.
"Boss, I will miss you." When parting, Sally gave Duke a hug.
Levin, who was helping with the transportation, also wanted to hug him, but he didn't dare. He was still in awe of Duke. Although Duke was only fifteen years old, he didn't usually behave like a fifteen-year-old boy.
Duke doesn’t like hugs either, and he’s sweating all over in the summer.
He just patted Levin on the shoulder.
On the way back to the rental house, he saw Best standing in the shade at the intersection. Duke didn't intend to pay attention, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Best.
"Did you sell Little Sam's card repair shop?"
"Hmm."
I thought I would be gloated and ridiculed by Best, but I didn't expect Best to sigh: "I was bought and sold by force. Someone asked me about it today... You are just a child. You can do it if you are scared."
The store is sold, but I won’t agree.”
Best's guess is not outrageous. This transfer is indeed suspected of forced buying and selling.
Duke did not refute, but simply asked: "With the Pioneering War, there will definitely be chaos in Sheshou Town. Are you sure you can withstand it?"
"Of course." Best snorted.
"Then I wish you good luck."
Duke turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, don't leave in a hurry, little Duke." Best followed up, "If you don't have a store, you must find a job, so why not come to my store."
"Huh?"
"I'll give you the treatment of a formal card repairer, just like the rules of Little Sam's shop, I'll give you a commission! Well, there is a bit of unpleasantness between us, but it's all for life, right? I'm not the type to add insult to injury.
People." Best raised his eyebrows.
He was very confident in his rhetoric, and had a sense of superiority that he wanted to help the frustrated Duke.
Being misunderstood as being depressed, Duke himself wanted to laugh a little.
He looked at Best, who held his head high, and shook his head slowly: "No, I want to change my job."
"Change a job, you're stupid. You worked as an apprentice for me for a year. Didn't you learn some of my skills?" Best said loudly, "Forget it, if you can't fix the card, just give it to me."
I'm the counter and I just opened Bob. With my skills and your smart mind, I can definitely do a lot!"
Duke has never repaired cards during the day, so many people thought that he had just joined the spiritual apprenticeship and was unable to master the art of repairing cards.
But Best doesn't really care whether Duke will fix the card.
He just thinks that Duke is very smart. Several initiatives he launched at the Little Sam Shoka store almost destroyed his own store. He is a talented person in business.
"Actually, I have no interest in doing business." Duke waved his hand.
Seeing this, Best's pleasant tone softened: "No, you don't know how to fix the card, and you don't want to do business, so why do you want to farm?"
Farming?
Duke's eyes lit up.
Then he smiled gently and said: "Why not? My biggest dream when I was a child was to be a farmer, feed my own cattle, horses, vegetables and wheat."
"You are not a spiritual plant envoy, what kind of farmer do you think you are?"
"I'm not, but I can hire someone." Duke already made a decision in his mind, waved his hand and left quickly, "Mr. Best, goodbye."
Watching Duke walk away, Best cursed angrily: "I don't know what to do! It seems that he is not a smart person now!"
……
The corner window on the first floor of Snake Head Tower.
Duke pointed to the small farm on the map that had not yet been purchased on the south bank of the creek, and said calmly: "I will lease this farm for ten years!"
This small farm only has one hundred acres of land.
According to the original rental price, the ten-year rent for one acre of land was 10 silver dragons, and the ten-year rent for one hundred acres of land was 10 gold dragons. This amount of money is nothing to Duke now.
Preparations for the pioneering war are now underway, and adventurers from all over the country are flocking here.
The spirit beasts have long been frightened and ran away. Xiaohewan Farm will no longer be threatened by spirit beasts.
But at this time the staff said: "The rent is 20 gold dragons."
"What, wasn't it just 10 gold dragons a while ago?"
"You also said it was a while ago, but can it be the same now as it was a while ago? We have already started a war, and how many people are crowding into Sheshou Town. Can the rent be the same? Hurry, do you still want to rent?"
"Rent..."
Duke is also free and easy, even if the price doubled, it still hasn’t wavered.
After two days of this, Duke, under the leadership of several town staff, completed all the procedures and officially rented the 100-acre farm.
The staff reinstalled the farm's boundary pole and said to Duke: "Give the farm a name, and we're going to register it."
"Let's call it...Little Duke Farm." Duke continued the tradition.
Basically, all the shops and farms in Sheshou Town will be named after their owners, such as the Little Sam Shouka Shop.
After the staff left, Duke wandered around the Little Duke Farm.
Because it is a farm that was reclaimed from wasteland, there are currently no crops, and various weeds and mugworts growing waist-high in the ground.
There is no doubt that there is no spiritual plant hidden in it.
The entire 100 acres of land is basically flat, with only a small slope on the west side. The slope is not too steep. From the top to the bottom of the slope, it is about the height of a person.
"Let's build a house on this slope." Duke walked around the farm and fixed his gaze on the small slope.
Although it is not in the center of the farm, it is at least high enough to allow you to look over the entire farm and see any movement at a glance.
In the next few days, Duke spent time on the farm and in the market town.
Find a construction team to build a house for the farm.
At the same time, we also found someone to pull up a barbed wire fence at the border of the farm, and also specially purchased a 1-ring arcane card - spiritual pressure transmission.
This arcane card can conduct spiritual pressure in metal. Anyone who comes into contact with the metal will be attacked by spiritual pressure.
In short.
This is the otherworldly version of high-voltage electricity.
After being connected to the surrounding barbed wire and coupled with a spiritual storage card to continuously supply energy, the spiritual pressure transmission can be continuously activated, forming a "high-voltage power grid fence".
The Seven Towers Federation has no laws prohibiting the establishment of private power grids. The construction of a 1-ring arcane card-reiatsu conduction metal grid is reasonable, compliant, and in line with tradition. It is natural for people to protect their property, even if it kills people.
It'll be okay.
When the spiritual pressure transmission metal mesh was arranged, the person in charge of the building construction team also came over: "Boss Little Duke, your interior design is a bit complicated..."
