After standing outside the mine and admiring the beautiful starry sky for a few minutes, Li Ming continued on his way back towards the other side of the Huangsha Mountains.
Dodging a large number of monster spawn areas along the way, after a few minutes' journey, he finally passed through the mountains and canyons and returned to the wild map near Huangsha Town.
At the end of the vast desolate Gobi beach, the outline of the city wall of Huangsha Town is faintly visible.
As Li Ming continued to move forward, more and more players could be seen chasing monsters on the nearby map, and battle scenes could be seen everywhere.
There were still so many players leveling up at night, which surprised him. The number of players in the spirit world was really astonishing...
After passing through the large monster spawning area, he returned to the city gate of Huangsha Town and walked into the city gate. The bustling city scene was completely different from when he first came to this town.
On both sides of the street, there are countless players sitting cross-legged and meditating. There is a bamboo pole stuck behind their backs. There are curtains hanging on the bamboo pole, and two big characters are written on them...
shop!
This is the most common player store model in the commercial system officially set by Spirit World.
But unlike previous games, players can select commercial areas on both sides of the street where stalls are allowed before going offline. After opening the store, they can safely choose to exit the game. In store mode, players can no longer be online even if they are not online.
affect their business.
Once it goes online tomorrow, we will know how much we can gain from opening the store overnight.
And after players go online, if they don't want to close the stall, they only need to pay a certain fee to keep the stall and continue to operate, and the players' characters can freely level up and complete tasks without any impact.
In other words, players do not need to spend money to operate their stores offline, but if they want to ensure that they continue to operate online, they have to pay hourly operating expenses.
This is only the most basic store opening model. Players need to pay 10 gold coins per hour for their personal store online, which is already a very expensive fee.
But after leaving the towns and larger cities, you can also rent a system store to expand the scale of your business, and the store can be open 24 hours a day.
Li Ming curiously walked along the long street. On both sides of the wide street, 1 meter wide commercial areas were reserved for players to open personal stores.
Now at night, the streets of Huangsha Town and the area around the central square are almost crowded with players opening stores...
Today is the first day the server has been launched, and the products available to players are limited. After opening each store, Li Ming was speechless and found that there were no products at all, and most of them were empty shells.
Even if I see a shop that sells merchandise, all they sell are junk props like new wooden swords and novice robes.
He didn't know that the purpose of these people was just to seize the shop space and occupy a favorable position for future operations.
Once they occupy this space, there will be no chance for others to open a store in the future...
No longer looking at the shops on both sides, Li Ming strode towards the square on the side of the town to find the location of the grocery store.
The run away just now made him feel that it was a waste of time. He had to buy some town-return scrolls as backup, and then buy some basic materials to start building equipment for the first time.
Because there are many basic building materials in the grocery store, including ordinary animal blood and ordinary wood, and even his ordinary ores are sold, but the price is a bit expensive.
At least now he has 6 gold coins, which should be enough to build the first prop.
Quickly passing through a large area of the city, he returned to the square at the gate of the governor's mansion. In a row of buildings on the right, Li Ming quickly found the location of the grocery store, and quickly walked up and entered the door of the grocery store...
We walked in. On one side of the small room, inside a long row of counters, stood a middle-aged NPC man in a robe. The entire wall behind him was filled with shelves for merchandise storage like bookshelves.
, waiting for players to purchase.
"Dear guest, although the store is small, it has everything. I wonder what you need to buy?" the grocery NPC asked politely.
"I need some ordinary animal blood, ordinary wood, and a city return scroll. How much does it cost?" Li Ming said.
"Ordinary animal blood is 50 copper coins per portion, ordinary wood is 30 silver coins per portion, and a town return scroll is 50 silver coins. How many do you need?" The grocery NPC immediately quoted the price.
"Why is ordinary wood so expensive? How much does ordinary ore cost?" Li Ming was shocked.
Ordinary wood is the most basic material collected by carpenters. Unexpectedly, one piece costs 30 silver coins, but ordinary animal blood is cheaper...
"Sir, it is very difficult to collect materials now. 30 silver coins are not expensive, and ordinary ores are the same price." The grocery NPC replied.
"Then why is animal blood so cheap?" Li Ming asked in confusion.
"Beast blood can be obtained by killing monsters. The premise is that you must prepare some professional tools to decompose the monster corpses." The miscellaneous NPC replied politely.
"Oh, then what tools do I need to decompose the corpse of the monster after death?" Li Ming asked.
"That's it, a hunting dagger, 1 gold coin each. You can collect the corpses of monsters after death and obtain many kinds of materials. It is a must-have for traveling." A white light flashed in the hand of the miscellaneous NPC, and a shiny knife instantly appeared.
Appear.
"I know, I need 5 pieces of animal blood, 4 pieces of wood, 2 town return scrolls, and 1 dagger." Li Ming immediately reported the product list.
"Okay." The grocery NPC waved his hand, and the counter in front of him was shining brightly. Five small porcelain bottles, four pieces of wood, two scrolls, and the shiny knife were all placed there: "Sir, all the items in total are
It’s 3 gold coins and 35 silver coins, welcome to patronize.”
System: Do you purchase the selected grocery items?
…
As the system information suddenly pops up, the required amount is also clearly displayed on it.
"I want them all." Li Ming immediately chose to confirm.
Ding ding!
With the sound of coins beating, the system automatically deducted the payment, and all the goods turned into halos and flew into his package.
"Dear guest, what else do you need?" the grocery NPC continued to ask.
Li Ming was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned around and walked out of the door directly.
Looking at the several new props in the package, he first transferred all the materials to the warehouse, and then locked his eyes on the building space.
Now that the materials are ready, it’s time to try out the crafting skills...
The moment his fingers clicked to create the space interface, the scenery in front of him changed, and he teleported to a strange environment. Surrounded by a spacious room, the fire was shining in front of him, and the fire was burning in a giant furnace that was as tall as a person.
On the other side, there is a huge iron desk with hammers, iron drills and other building tools.
System: This is the first time you open the creation interface. Please follow the steps explained by the system to officially start the creation work!
…
The system information appeared, and a small screen popped up in front of Li Ming's eyes. It showed a video of an NPC blacksmith placing pieces of ore on the table, then picking up the iron drill and throwing the ore into the furnace...
