The price of the three items is... 10,000 psychic points.
Li Shuyi understood: "No one will buy it at this price. Even the most expensive three-star skill book will not exceed 100,000 power points. Are you... showing off your wealth?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "It's a show off of wealth. When opening a store and doing business, don't think about hiding it, you have to prove your wealth. Unfortunately, the quality of these three items is not shocking enough. If they can put us on the
Putting the dark gold equipment obtained from the plane world on the exhibition stand will have a much more shocking effect, which is the best publicity."
The virtual lobby is designed to hide the appearance of each awakened person. As long as Bai Xiaowen doesn't tell anyone, no one will know that this "killing people with big swords" store is opened by him unless the senior management of the virtual battle platform uses permission inquiry.
"Well, if we exhibit dark gold equipment, it will create a sensation and quickly increase the popularity of our store..." Li Shuyi nodded and said, "Then why don't you do this?"
Bai Xiaowen pointed to the electronic manual and said: "The equipment picked up and bound is an item that cannot be traded and cannot be put on the exhibition stand."
"Well...my dad told me before that picking up bound equipment can also be traded through certain special channels. I'll go and ask."
"Let's go together." Bai Xiaowen chose to log out, leaving a simulated image of him in the store, which was also listed as a "robot".
After logging out, Li Shuyi made a phone call, then showed a smile and said to Bai Xiaowen: "My dad seemed to be shocked again... I couldn't explain clearly on the phone. He asked us to go to the guild headquarters."
…
Chen Chuan is a level 3 awakener, a standard profession.
The potential of standard professions is relatively low. Even if you sign a contract with a guild, you generally won't get good treatment. And Chen Chuan himself has no intention of finding a backer to climb up the ladder. Xiaofu Ji'an is also a good choice for him.
.
Except for going to the wilderness area every once in a while to kill some level 1 and level 2 mutant beasts for expenses, Chen Chuan almost never leaves home.
However, Chen Chuan has a hobby, which is visiting the shops in the virtual lobby and browsing those precious equipment, props and skill books.
Although he has basically no chance to buy these things, and it is impossible to afford them, it is not illegal to go shopping and feast his eyes on them...
Unfortunately, the shops in the primary area of the virtual lobby generally have few precious psychic items.
After reaching level 4, you can enter the intermediate area, where there are many stores with B-level or even A-level credit ratings. The psychic items in the display cabinets will definitely be of the highest quality. This is Chen Chuan's idea.
Chen Chuan opened the store list and randomly selected a B-level store. The virtual lobby instantly teleported him to the door of the store.
I looked up and saw [fully armed]. I have visited this shop twice before. It has a b2 credit rating and is considered a relatively well-known large shop in the junior area. I heard that it has a guild background.
As usual, Chen Chuan ignored the robot clerk holding the sign, and walked around as if visiting his own home, reaching out and touching... Of course, the psychic items in front of him were just holographic projections.
"The disappearing skill book is actually two stars."
"Blizzard Scroll, an A-level group damage and group control prop."
"Arcane Orb, off-hand item, increases the damage of area-of-effect spells by 1%... Tsk tsk, even though it is a blue item, it can be said to be a top-notch item. A B2-level shop really has good stuff."
At this time, the clerk, who was standing behind the counter in a silent posture, suddenly spoke:
"I said, do you want to buy it? If you don't buy it, don't touch it."
Chen Chuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect the shop owner to be there.
"They are all holographic images, not real objects. Can they be broken?" After Chen Chuan's initial surprise, his sensitive self-esteem rose, "Isn't your attitude a bit too much?"
"Come on, I've seen people like you a lot. I just saw two of them," the shop owner curled his lips. "There are a lot of paupers in the junior area. Do you want to buy it or not? Hurry up, I'm still waiting to play cards."
"If you like playing cards, just go and play. Even if I buy it, I will place the order directly and won't bargain with you." Chen Chuan said.
"It's true..." the shopkeeper muttered, looking very impatient. In fact, the guild he belonged to stipulated that during working hours, as long as a customer enters the shop, he must receive him in the shop and the customer must not leave.
If he goes offline privately, he will definitely be punished if found out by the guild.
Sitting in the store for a long time has allowed this shop owner to develop a keen eye for who wants to buy and who doesn't want to buy. After looking at it for a minute or two, he can basically judge from the behavior. For some people who have no intention to buy,
He thought that it was nothing to lose a few words, and he could still be clean.
However, this person did not expect that on a deeper level, not buying this time does not mean that he will not buy in the future. With his attitude, he will lose a lot of potential customers.
Chen Chuan heard his muttering and felt annoyed, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only hold back his breath and left the store.
"What a piece of shit, it will go bankrupt sooner or later!"
After walking out of the store, Chen Chuan cursed.
"Hey, when did there be a store here? Is it a new one?"
Chen Chuan looked up and saw the shop No. 12 opposite the door, "Knife Kills Many People", and walked over with a little curiosity.
"With a c5 rating, it is indeed a new store. But with this store name...are you trying to drive away customers?"
Chen Chuan had just turned this idea in his mind, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at several exhibits, and he couldn't move them away.
"Two B-level silver props! Darling, I have visited so many shops in the junior area, and this is the first time I have seen B-level and above silver props. It is said that the grade is only higher than S-level ordinary props!" Chen Chuan swallowed.
Swallowed.
"Earth-shattering skill book, three-star skill? Comes with super hard control and knock-up, or range control!"
Chen Chuan rubbed his eyes: "I'm afraid this new store is not simple either..."
Looking at the prices, they are all 10,000 psychic points.
"...Well, it's really a rip-off," Chen Chuan felt like he understood the meaning of the store's name, "It's better to look at other things first."
"Supplies and food?"
"Spiritual gold and silver?"
"There are also equipment for pretending to be tied! It's a pity that there are only gray and white equipment... Hey, that's not right..." Chen Chuan suddenly remembered something, his expression changed, and he quickly exited the "Knife Kills Many People" shop, remembering
After numbering the store, leave the virtual battle platform, then pick up your phone and quickly dial the number.
"Second uncle? I'm Xiao Chen..."
"Nothing happened. I just saw some equipment-bound whiteboards and gray equipment in the virtual lobby... Yes, the price is also cheap. I thought that Xiaoliang's total attributes were close to 2 points. If there was such a set of equipment
If so, the hope of successful awakening will be greater..."
"Yes, uncle, that shop has a lot of goods and a complete range of products, including one-handed sword type daggers and shooting type hand crossbows. The most rare thing is the protective leather armor! By the way, I also saw it.
A lot of rye bread...yes, it's a food supply that can restore health during battle!"
"It's true. How dare I lie to you... You will know when you come up and take a look. The store number is 12..."
After Bai Xiaowen opened a store and left the robot to hang out, and became the shopkeeper, the primary area of the virtual lobby of the Chinese national server gradually began to become lively.
"Have you heard that shop No. 12 in the junior area has a three-star crowd control skill book? It's the best!"
"Really or not, there is such a good thing in the junior area?"
"Not only that, there are also silver props!"
"Let's go and see together."
Some intermediate and even advanced awakened people were attracted to the junior area, specifically to see the "Knife Kills Many People" shop.
Seeing that group control skill book, and it was the most overbearing super hard control, made many awakened people, especially melee power-type professions, drool. But the sky-high price of 10,000 power points also scared many people.
Many people left messages through the listing robot:
"Boss, how do you sell skill books? Give me a honest price!"
"I will give you 30,000 psychic points and a two-star skill book for you! What type do you want?"
"Brother, which guild do you belong to? Can I have an interview?"
These message boards are bound to the store owner's mobile phone number. When you leave a message, the store owner will also receive the message...unless the store owner blocks the message.
The intermediate and advanced awakened people who were attracted by the skill books and so on, of course did not stay dumbly while waiting for the reply to the message. Many people began to browse other goods in the store. As B-level silver items, the Blood Spear Horn and the Enlightenment
The book also attracted the interest of many people, who left messages asking about it.
At the same time, the items in the store for low-level awakened people and quasi-awakened people have also entered the sight of these people.
Some people ignored these low-end items, but more people became interested.
Some people thought of their nephews, some thought of their younger brothers and sisters, and still others thought of a certain descendant relative of the leader of their guild...
"These bundled equipment, gold and silver from the spiritual world, plus food supplies, if bought for a quasi-awakened person to use... the success rate will definitely increase! The price is also cheap, I will buy a set for my brother first!
"A young awakened person less than twenty years old walked directly to the listing robot and placed an order.
"Hey, the shop owner is from Jinghai City, Jianghai District. Haha, I'm lucky. I can save some psychic points and buy two more sets!" The boy laughed after placing the order.
It should be noted that when buyers purchase items in the virtual lobby, the power points they need to pay include three parts.
Part of it is the seller's pricing, a small notary fee for the virtual platform, and then there's the shipping fee.
The virtual platform charges notary fees and freight. Not only does it ensure that the transaction process is fair and free of fraud, it is also responsible for the shipping!
In the age of psychic energy, shipping costs are not as low as on Earth in another time and space. Since there are mutant beasts and invasive creatures from the spiritual world in different cities and regions, the transportation routes are not safe. Depending on the degree of danger, different arrangements must be made.
Escorted by level Awakeners.
This shipping fee is collected in psychic points, which are much more valuable to the awakened than earth currency.
If the buyer and seller are in the same base city, you're in luck, shipping is free and only a small notary fee is charged, usually 3% of the transaction amount.
If they are not in the same base city, but in the same region, the freight charged will not be much.
If they are not in the same region and are transported across regions, the freight will be high. Of course, the most terrible thing is that they are separated by several regions. One is in northern China and the other is in southern China. The amount of energy points it costs to transport goods is absolutely an astonishing number.
.
Therefore, when experienced awakened people want to buy psychic items, they first consider stores in the same city. If there are no stores in the same city, they will then look for them in stores in the same district. If they really can't buy them, they will consider stores in other major districts...
…
Unless the price of an item in a store in the same city is ridiculously expensive, it is more expensive than the total price including shipping costs in other stores.
Awakened people from Jinghai Base City and Jianghai Region went to place orders one after another.
Opposite the shop "Big Knife Kills Many People", the "heavily armed" shop owner was confused when he saw the busy scene opposite.
"What's going on? There was no store across from me before... How can a newly opened store attract so many people?"
The shop owner set up a sign-up robot to look after the store, while he walked out of the store and quietly slipped into the "Knife Big Killing Lots of People".
After taking a quick look at the three-star top-notch skill book and two silver props in the most conspicuous display cabinet, the heavily armed shopkeeper seemed to understand.
"You actually played this trick, deliberately bringing out good things, and setting an impossible high price to attract attention and attract customers..." The heavily armed shop owner logged off angrily, "Playing such a little trick..."
When he returned to the real world, his three poker friends were already waiting impatiently.
"Wu Guangming, haven't you finished it yet? Hurry up and play cards."
Wu Guangming, the owner of the "Heavily Armed" store, waved his hand: "No fight, something happened in the store, I have to report it to the guild."
"What can happen in the store?" said a skinny poker player.
As soon as Wu Guangming told the story, the thin poker player who looked a bit like a dog-headed strategist immediately slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "What's all the fuss about? If you report it to the guild, people will only say that you have poor ability. The opponent can."
Can’t we, the Jingwu Guild, bring out good things? If you follow suit, wouldn’t it be great if you also bring out some top-notch equipment for display?”
Wu Guangming spread his hands: "You also know that I have a standard job. I am usually responsible for looking after stores, and I don't often go to the spiritual world and wilderness areas. Where can I find any good inventory?"
"Wu Guangming, this is your fault. Isn't your second uncle from the Guild's Logistics Department? Ask him to bring out a few good things from the Guild's warehouse for your emergency. That's it. What you manage is under the name of the Jingwu Guild.
The store is not your private store. This kind of secondment of items is considered business-to-business and does not violate the rules."
"Yes..." Wu Guangming's eyes lit up.
…
Jinghai Base City, Chihuo District, Chihuo Square.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were having dinner with Li Beihai.
"When this girl Shuyi called me, she really shocked me. You launched such a big satellite, why didn't you say anything when it came back? It's dark gold equipment!" Li Beihai said.
"Actually, I didn't mean to hide it, but I forgot to mention it. After all, neither Xiaowen nor I can use this dark gold equipment." Li Shuyi smiled sheepishly.
Bai Xiaowen did remember it, but he didn't say it to avoid being seen as showing off.
"Where's that piece of dark gold equipment? Show me its attributes." Li Beihai said.
