After walking some distance, Shi Jing slowly stopped and turned around to look at Luo Chen.
Hearing this, Luo Chen came back from his deep thoughts, raised his head and looked around.
I saw that they were more than a hundred meters away from the West City Gate, and there were two Fangshi Gates on their left and right.
However, there is an obvious contrast between the two markets. The market on Luo Chen's left is bustling with people and bustling with people, and bursts of lively atmosphere hit his face.
But the market on Luo Chen's right was deserted, not even a single person could be seen inside, and the doors of the shops on both sides of the street were also closed.
"This is the North Market, and it is also our market! Opposite is the Huang family's South Market."
Shi Jing pointed to the deserted market on the right, and then looked at the Huang family's market opposite with a gloomy look.
Luo Chen, on the other hand, smiled at this time, looking at the bustling market of the Huang family, and said curiously:
"I really didn't expect that this little Maple Leaf City would be so lively!"
"Um!"
Shi Dingding nodded and explained while looking at Huangjiafang City:
"The Monster Mountain range close to here is rich in products, and there is also a swamp called Kurosawa Miasma. There are soul beasts there, attracting many warriors to come and take risks, which makes this place prosperous."
"Is there such a place?"
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows. Soul beasts are also a type of demonic beasts, and the soul beads used to make puppets are produced in this kind of soul beast.
Although the weapon refiner can also forge soul beads, the quality of this kind of soul beads cannot be compared with the natural soul beads in the body of the soul beast. The price of this kind of natural soul beads is very expensive, and most of those soul beads that make high-priced puppets are
These are all natural soul beads.
"Well, Kurosawa Miasma is located a hundred miles away from the Monster Mountain Range, but the spirit beasts there are relatively low-level, and you can't even see those above level four."
Shi Jing withdrew his eyes and looked at Luo Chen.
"I see!"
Luo Chen suddenly realized that if there were high-level soul beasts in the Blackpool Miasma, then Maple Leaf City would not be just like this, and it might be several times more prosperous.
Luo Chen looked away from Huang Jia Nan City and looked at his own Bei City.
Looking at the deserted streets, Luo Chen said slowly:
"Let's go! Go in and take a look!"
After saying that, Luo Chen walked into Beishi.
Behind, Shi Jing and Ye Xian hurriedly followed.
Beishi.
This place can no longer be called a city. It is not even as good as an ordinary street outside. It is so deserted that even mice dare to wander on the street.
There were not many people to be seen on the long street, and everything looked deserted. Of the hundreds of shops facing the street, only a dozen or so were still open, and even if these dozens of shops were still open, they were all shop doors.
Half-covered.
"When the Huang family was in charge of the North City, they used various means such as coercion and inducement to force the shops here to either close down or move to their Nan City. The only ones that were open here were shops and homes, and they no longer did much business."
"Without business, these stores have no income, and we don't receive management fees, but we have to spend manpower and material resources to maintain this place, so this cash cow has now become a loser!"
While walking on the street, Shi Jing pointed to the shops on both sides and introduced them to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen glanced at the closed shops one after another with an expressionless face, and finally smiled:
"I see that many shops here have just closed their doors and have not moved out. I just need to let them open again!"
Hearing this, Shi Jing looked at Luo Chen hesitantly, looking at Luo Chen's still a little childish face, Shi Jing really wondered if Luo Chen didn't understand this.
However, although Shi Jing was suspicious in his heart, he did not show it on his face, but patiently explained:
"The young village owner doesn't know! Although we have taken over the North City now and can protect the interests of the merchants, if the Fang City is not popular, it will be useless for those merchants to open their doors! And the resources of the Nan City are richer than the high-quality resources of the North City
They have also been dragged over, and those warriors will never come to Bei City to buy things!"
"fine!"
Luo Chen still smiled faintly: "This is nothing more than good quality and low price. As long as we seize these two things, as long as the market is still there, we can regain popularity!"
After saying that, Luo Chen waved his hand and said, "Tell me now, do we have a store in Bei City?"
Hearing this, looking at Luo Chen, Shi Jing secretly shook his head. He thought that bringing Luo Chen here would really solve the problem, but he didn't know that Luo Chen thought it was so simple. If it was so easy, he wouldn't have to worry so much.
.
Sighing secretly in his heart, Shi Jing replied: "Yes! We have a grocery store, a medicine store and a wine shop here, a total of three stores!"
"And a wine shop?"
Luo Chen's eyes were stunned.
"Um!"
Shi Dingding nodded and said with a smile: "The wine shop is at the gate of Fangshi. Most of the warriors here have entered the Monster Mountain Range for a few days. They have accumulated a lot of boredom in their hearts and often vent it through drinking. Therefore, the wine shop here is generally open to business.
They are all better!”
"I see!"
Luo Chen understood and secretly sighed in his heart that wine is a good thing no matter what time of the day it is.
His eyes flickered, and Luo Chen didn't say anything more. After looking at the deserted street, he turned around and looked at Nanshi across the way.
"Let's go! Let's also experience the excitement of Maple Leaf City!"
With a smile on his face, Luo Chen walked towards Nanshi.
Behind him, Shi Jing and Ye Xian followed slowly.
The three of them walked out of the North City and entered the South City!
As soon as he entered Nanshi, Luo Chen felt the bustle that was different from the outside. It was a noisy, ear-splitting feeling, like being in a heat wave.
There are many shops in Fang City, the streets are filled with stalls, and various warriors are shuttled among the shouts.
Most of these warriors have a common characteristic, that is, they are rough and have a faint scent of blood, and they look unkempt. They look like they have been in the mountains for a long time.
Luo Chen looked away from these warriors and then looked at the stall next to him.
Not to mention, Luo Chen saw something of interest the first time he entered Fang City.
With a faint smile on his lips, Luo Chen walked slowly towards the third stall on the right.
There are three or four small wooden barrels in this stall, which contain black glue. Next to these wooden barrels, there are more than a dozen calf-high saplings placed.
The owner of this stall was a spirited young man. When he saw Luo Chen and the others walking over, he hurriedly greeted him warmly:
"Hello, three guests! Do you want to buy rubber? To be honest with you, my rubber is of the highest quality, and the boots made from it are guaranteed to be able to walk on flat ground in the Monster Mountain Range."
"good!"
Luo Chen nodded, but then shook his head and said with a smile: "I want to buy rubber resin, but it's not this kind of rubber resin, but jade rubber resin. Do you have it?"
"Well......"
The smile on the young man's face froze and he looked at Luo Chen blankly.
After seeing that Luo Chen didn't seem to be taking advantage of him, the young man smiled bitterly and shook his head, looked at Luo Chen and said resentfully:
"The guest is joking! Although there is a word difference between rubber and jade rubber, they are completely different. Jade rubber is a legendary treasure. Not to mention my small stall, I am afraid that the entire Zhenyuan Continent is very different.
Rarely have you heard of its existence!”
"I just asked casually!"
Luo Chen smiled lightly and didn't care.
Jade rubber is a rubber resin secreted by the jade oak tree. It can be used as the material for the muscles of the puppet.
The jade oak tree is a tree species that mutates and grows by absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth from the rhizome of the oak tree.
Although they have the same root, their uses are completely different. Jade rubber is a holy medicine for healing, and has the effect of the flesh and bones of the living dead.
However, this kind of mutation of jade oak is extremely difficult, countless times more difficult than purple thunder bamboo, so jade rubber is extremely rare and rare.
The reason why Luo Chen asked was just to try his luck. No, he didn't care.
Looking away from the stall, Luo Chen immediately turned around and continued walking towards the city.
However, as soon as Luo Chen and the others left, the young man selling rubber's resin flashed his eyes, and looked at Luo Chen's back and pondered for a while.
At this time, a burst of fierce noise suddenly came from the gate of Fangshi:
"Haha! Right! The Huang family is having sex with the new Ziwu Villa!"
"Where? Where?"
"West City Gate!"
"Let's go! Go and have a look, it's a rare pleasure!"
Hearing the sound, Luo Chen and the other three stopped in their tracks.
