Su Yu's lips twitched. A store that had never made a profit and was about to be canceled happened to be picked by Su Yu. He was really unlucky.
"If you had come two months later, you might have had other choices. Now that you are here, there is nothing you can do. Hey, other outer disciples came here and earned a lot of merit, but you chose the worst one.
If not, you have to follow in the footsteps of the previous shopkeepers and subsidize the merits yourself."
The middle-aged guard was quite enthusiastic and felt sorry for Su Yu.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I'll take care of myself now that I'm here. I'll do my best to serve as the shopkeeper," Su Yu said.
The middle-aged guard smiled: "It's best if you have such a mentality. Well, the identity token check is correct. Come with me to see the deputy general manager."
Under his leadership, Su Yu came to a hall in the eight-story pavilion. The side hall in the hall was where the deputy general manager handled affairs.
I thought that the attic was very deserted and I could easily meet the deputy general manager. Unexpectedly, the hall was densely packed with people sitting quietly, including young people, middle-aged people, and many old people.
They are all dressed to look wealthy and distinguished, unlike ordinary people.
"These are the shopkeepers who are waiting to be received by the deputy general manager. Just find a place and wait patiently," the middle-aged man said.
Su Yu nodded and found that there were a few empty seats in the right corner of the hall, but no one was taking them, so Su Yu walked straight towards that direction.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged guard hurriedly grabbed Su Yu: "Don't go there! That's reserved for the three shopkeepers of the first-class shop. No one dares to squeeze past you without seeing them? You're a newcomer to a low-class shop.
Shopkeepers, it’s best not to conflict with them, otherwise it will be difficult to survive in Tianya City.”
However, Su Yu knew that the shops in Tianya City were divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower.
The main criterion for differentiation is monthly profit.
Those with a monthly profit of more than 300,000 yuan and less than 1 million are classified as medium-sized shops, while those with a monthly profit of more than 1 million are classified as high-class shops.
As for shops with a profit of less than 300,000 yuan and losses, they are considered inferior shops.
The store that Su Yu accepted was one that suffered continuous losses, which was the lowest store among the lower-class stores.
"These three shopkeepers are in charge of the monster material shop, the restaurant shop, and the alchemy shop respectively. As the largest shopkeepers in each industry, they have the right to initiate meetings at any time! For example, the big shopkeeper of the alchemy shop can order the middle-level alchemy shops
The shopkeeper, and the shopkeepers of low-level alchemy shops like you gather together, it can be said that he is the boss of the alchemy shop in Scarlet Blood Palace, and all the alchemy shop shopkeepers must obey his orders."
Su Yu's eyes flashed and he said, "Do we have to obey whatever he says?"
The middle-aged guard said: "If you don't want to get into trouble, he's not going too far. You'd better accept it."
"What if I refuse to obey his arrangement?" Su Yu said thoughtfully.
The middle-aged guard looked around and said: "They have extremely wide connections. It is very possible that with just one word, the elixir dealers who rely on them will not dare to sell elixirs to you, making it even more difficult for you to continue your business. If this happens,
Don’t offend them casually if you do it too many times.”
Danpu's business is to make money by buying things at low prices and then selling them at high prices.
If you can't receive the elixir, you're just waiting to die.
"Thank you, senior, I know what to do." Su Yu nodded, found another corner, and waited quietly.
Bang——
At this time, the side hall opened, and three people filed out of it.
Two men and one woman, both middle-aged, walk majestically and full of style.
A group of waiting middle-level shopkeepers looked at them in unison, not daring to show any disrespect in their expressions.
Su Yu heard a low voice talking in his ears: "They are the three big shopkeepers. They have been communicating with the deputy general manager for such a long time. They must be discussing important matters!"
"Probably, according to the rules, it's time to sacrifice in the ancient and evil forest. The deputy general manager must be very worried, otherwise if we fail a little bit, according to the rules, we will have to give up part of Tianya City's property to those guys in Zhongzhou!"
"No need to guess, it must be! Because Zhongzhou won the previous few times when we bought ancient and evil forests to offer sacrifices, and got a large area of our industry. With these industries, the industry became stronger and stronger, and the industry of our Scarlet Blood Palace was greatly affected, especially
In terms of elixirs, they have been under heavy pressure one after another, and the profits of many elixir shops have declined! Last month, the profits of the largest high-end elixir shop, Tianxiang Danhao, fell by 30%, with only a profit of 1.1 million.
, it almost fell to the level of a mid-level store. Look, the face of the big shopkeeper of Tianxiang Danpu, Shopkeeper Fei, is so ugly? He must have been reprimanded by the deputy general manager, right?"
"Hey, what happened to this old guy like Shopkeeper Fei? He usually makes all the changes and suppresses fellow alchemists. Many middle-level alchemy shops that have the hope of growing into top-level alchemy shops have stagnated because of him. Now it's better.
He himself almost fell out of the ranks of the top alchemy shops, which is really shameful."
"Don't laugh. According to this old guy's urine, I think there is a high probability that he will hold another meeting of the alchemy shop to squeeze the other alchemy shops, supplement the profits of his own alchemy shop, and maintain the qualifications of the top alchemy shop."
Hearing this, Su Yu followed their gazes and looked at the middle-aged man who was walking last among the three.
The faces of the three shopkeepers were all not very good-looking, but this one was even more ugly. His face sank into the water, and the words "Don't mess with me" were almost carved on his forehead.
Su Yu frowned, it seemed that he had come at the wrong time.
After they left, the remaining alchemy shop owners entered the side hall one by one and were received by the deputy general manager.
Half a day passed in a flash, and it was Su Yu's turn.
Entering the side hall, an old man who is over seventy years old and has half a hundred hair comes into view. He is looking at an ancient classic with a damaged cover.
His expression was focused, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, sometimes meditating, and he was in a state of pain, and Su Yu didn't even notice that he was in it.
His stature is short, his appearance is unattractive, his eyes are very peaceful, and his whole body never feels oppressive.
But Su Yu will never forget the ugly expressions on the three shopkeepers' faces as they walked out of the side hall.
Su Yu glanced at the cover of the ancient scroll. There were two strange tadpole-like fonts on it. He did not interrupt, but waited quietly.
Half a cup of tea passed, and the deputy general manager was still frowning in thought, as if he was confused by something and couldn't let it go for a long time.
Su Yu secretly thought that waiting like this was not an option. He thought for a while and said, "Junior outer disciple Su Yuxian, I have the temerity to interrupt the deputy general manager's study of the Mu Clan's "Sacred Book of Nine Transformations of the Mysterious Spirit".
The deputy general manager was immediately upset when someone interrupted his meditation. He put down the ancient scroll and stared at Su Yu with cold eyes: "What kind of boy does he come from who doesn't understand the rules..."
But he suddenly realized something, and his eyes flashed: "Wait a minute, what did you say I was looking at just now?"
Su Yu, neither humble nor overbearing, responded: "Reporting to the deputy manager, it's the Wood Clan's "Sacred Book of Nine Transformations of the Mysterious Spirit".
Swish——
The deputy general manager stood up suddenly and asked curiously: "Do you know the writing of the Mu tribe?"
Su Yu looked natural and without fear, and said calmly: "When I was young, I accidentally got a fragment of a scroll from a cave. There were many Zerg written records on it, so I barely knew it."
Of course these are fabricated words. In fact, Yun Yazi read the writings of the Mu tribe during his research.
The Wood Clan is a powerful spiritual wood race. These races are born with spiritual bodies of vegetation and have extremely high spiritual intelligence. They have created their own writing, which is the Wood Clan language.
The deputy general manager walked around the desk and looked at Su Yu with surprise: "In the Scarlet Blood Palace, there are actually juniors who know the writing of the Wood people. I really didn't expect it."
"How many words do you know?" the deputy general manager asked curiously, his tone was very calm and without any airs.
Su Yu said modestly: "I know a little bit."
The deputy general manager's eyes flashed slightly: "Okay, what does this line of text mean?"
He casually unfolded a page in the "Sacred Code of Nine Transformations of the Mysterious Spirit" and clicked on a line.
Su Yu glanced at it and said without thinking: "Photograph the essence of Ming Na, show the mysterious shadow of Tianyuan, break Qinglan..."
"Stop it!" The deputy general manager looked shocked and looked at Su Yu up and down again, his eyes shining as if he was looking at a treasure.
With expectation in his eyes, he turned the page again: "What about this line?"
Su Yu looked at it and said calmly: "My green silkworm broke out of its cocoon, turned into a butterfly and was reborn. It retreated from the mortal world and turned into an immortal. Now the horned snake turns into a dragon, but it has not turned into a dragon..."
"That's enough!" The deputy general manager excitedly closed the holy book, his face full of excitement. He looked at Su Yu and shot two horrifying rays of light, as if a robber had discovered the treasure! He looked at Su Yu again for a long time and couldn't help laughing loudly: " Hahaha, I didn’t expect, I really didn’t expect, that the Zerg writing expert I was looking for so hard is not found in Tianya City, but is in the Scarlet Blood Palace!!”
It can be seen that he is in a great mood!
"What's your name?" The deputy general manager came over and asked very enthusiastically.
Su Yu cupped his hands and said, "Outer disciple, Su Yuxian, please see the deputy general manager."
"Su Yuxian, Su Yuxian..." the deputy general manager muttered, but had no impression: "Okay, since you are proficient in Mu Clan writing, you meet my requirements. There is a big event that requires your participation."
Su Yu frowned secretly, could it be some kind of trouble?
"Hahaha, don't worry, this matter is related to the division of interests of our Eighteen-Dong Paradise in Tianya City, involving billions of crystals! You are proficient in Zerg writing, and you may be able to play a vital role! Once you make a meritorious service, the benefits will be beyond your imagination. !”
Su Yu pondered for a moment. If this was the case, there seemed to be no need to refuse.
"Since it is my Scarlet Blood Palace's business, my disciples should devote themselves to it." Su Yu said.
The deputy general manager was very happy and let out a long breath: "After a few days of dull affairs, there is finally one thing that makes me happy!"
"What did you just say? Are you here to receive the mission from Tong Lin's Pill Shop? Well, that's fine. I'll stay in Tianya City this month. I'll take you to that place in a month to show off your skills!" The deputy manager took Su Yu's hand. A piece of wooden fish, he took one look at it and felt sad, and at the same time he threw two tokens from his sleeve.
One of them is engraved with the words "Tong Lin Dan Pu", which is the shopkeeper's certificate.
The other one is engraved with the word "General Manager", exuding the slightest aura of awe.
"Deputy General Manager, what is this?" Su Yu pointed at the General Manager's order and asked in surprise.
The deputy general manager chuckled: "This is the identity token of the deputy general manager. If you see an order, you will see me personally. If you have any trouble in Tianya City, you only need to show this order to my property in Tianya City, and they will obey your orders."
"This token is only used to prevent danger and ensure your personal safety. Do not use it indiscriminately to disrupt the industrial operations of all parties!"
Su Yu was secretly happy. With this token, it would undoubtedly be more convenient for him to do things!
However, Su Yu also realized that the deputy general manager did not hesitate to give the general manager's order to Su Yu for self-defense, so that so-called major event must be extremely important!
