Mino-Fan has five blood shops and two decoration shops in Scarlet Belvedere.

——Of course, it's Su's test now.

The profit margin of a single item of decoration is higher, but the income of the blood shop is more stable.

The five food stores that provide blood for the vampires are not large in scale, but for some reason, Mino Fan can get several famous Vampel blood villages at a low price-Latour Blood Village, Margaux Blood Village, etc. Zhuang and Mouton Blood Zhuang - the supply.

Su Shi is now considered a wealthy human businessman, even so, the monthly cost of 550 gold coins is still too much for him.

On Vampire Star, the purchasing power of ten gold coins is equivalent to 10000 yuan in human currency.

In other words, 550 gold coins are equivalent to 55.Baran-Sisera cost Su a trial 21 yuan more than expected.Such a price difference was obviously not something he could afford, so he unceremoniously "taken" the money back from Balan.

……

"How did you know Balaam was going to find you?"

It’s just that the auxiliary AI couldn’t help jumping out to ask questions. Su Shi raised his head and glanced at the translucent white sphere in front of him, then lowered his head and wrote on the notebook with a pen, “Guess.” He replied.

"Impossible," the AI ​​said, "You put the mirror and gave the hotel manager the shopping voucher, and told him to pay attention to your mirror... You knew that Balan would look for you and break the mirror, right? Otherwise, you have modeled and calculated that this kind of thing must happen."

"You can't make preparations after you are 100% sure that something will happen," Su Shi said. "The more fully prepared you are, the more likely the situation you expect will happen."

"Aren't you afraid that Balaam will retaliate against you?" AI asked curiously.

"In "The Scarlet Night City", he caused a lot of trouble for the second male lead, and also caused a lot of trouble for the male lead, but his love for the female lead does not count on return. If you love another person deeply, then his heart should not be too bad."

Su Shi raised his head and said, "I'm now the infatuated and ruthless Mino Fan, you'll let me play like this."

AI said: "We have post-editing, you can take this as a tidbit."

However, even Su Shi couldn't have imagined that there would be follow-up troubles in this matter...

The time of a month turns and flies, and soon it is the end of the month.

According to the rules of Saliman Hotel, after a guest makes a reservation for a banquet, the hotel will refuse other guests to reserve the reserved banquet hall, but will reconfirm three days in advance—because Saliman allows guests to unconditionally cancel the reservation, but the banquet cost Too big to be credited, a certain percentage deposit is required in advance.

12 midnight.

The hotel manager looked at the aristocratic young man sitting with his legs crossed behind the desk that belonged to him, picked up his exclusive antique phone with a sad face, and dialed the number of "Mr. Fan".

"...Yes, according to your request, increase the supply of blood wine, a total of 355 gold coins."

"Okay, I didn't ask..."

One hand snapped away the microphone from the hotel manager's ear. Balan turned his face sideways, threw a silver smoked ball with one hand, and held the microphone with the other, and said:

"Excuse me, I offer 400 gold coins."

In fact, in order to avoid the situation of scrambling like last time, Su Shi had already made an appointment with the hotel very early this time, and he was surprised that Balan was actually waiting to choke him.

After a moment of silence, he asked:

"...Are you at the hotel?"

This familiar tone made Balaam feel ashamed, and he almost immediately retorted:

"How is that possible, I asked Fitz to transfer the phone to me."

Balan glared at the hotel manager, Fitz, as he spoke, signaling him not to try to expose his words.

The hotel manager smiled wryly.

The voice on the other side of the microphone was silent for a moment, and then said softly:

"... 450 gold coins."

Balan said: "Since you know me, you should know that you can't compete with me."

"...But I have to fight, Master Balan."

Only someone like Louis who was familiar with him would call him Balan or Master Balan, and the others would just call him Master Sisera or Lord Sisera.

Balaam resented the airy tone of the other, the guy who let his human manservant play him.

... At this time, Balaam still thought that the other party was a blood upstart.

Balan said without blinking, "500 gold coins."

"550 gold coins."

"600 gold coins."

Money is just a meaningless series of numbers to Balaam.

But the other side obviously began to hesitate:

"... 610 gold coins."

Balan blinked and said quickly, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Balan stood up, handed the microphone to the hotel manager, pursed his lips and said:

"you are welcome."

But there was a warning in his eyes.

The hotel manager knew that he had to charge the fee at the price of 610 gold coins, otherwise the nobleman would not have left.

This kind of thing is not something to be happy about...

Although he won't make trouble with money, he can't make trouble with customers for money.

He took the receiver with a reluctant smile, and talked about the payment with "Mr. The voice, as sweet as honey, just broke his heart.

...Yes, Baran-Sisera and Sue are on the fence.

Another three months have passed in a flash. On the banquet day of each month, Su Shi will hold a banquet at the Saliman Hotel to entertain the blood race, and every time Su Shi makes a reservation for a hotel, Balan Sisera will jump out and talk to He went against it and deliberately bid to make him spend more money.

Su Shi was sitting at the desk in the study room, sorting out the income and expenditure bills for the past few months with a slight headache - including a series of expenses such as store income, salaries of shop assistants and domestic servants.

... He has a lot of trouble dealing with all the work related to numbers.

At this time, Haru Xerxes and Atossa Judit started talking about marriage not long ago, and Mino Fan's career in Scarlet has just started, and the current total income of the store is about 500 per month Gold coins or so.

Baran Sisera's provocative behavior quickly reduced Su Shi's deposit.

Although the current expenditure on banquets has greatly exceeded Su Shi's original plan.But since there is a big fish like Balan biting the bait, Su Shi might as well invest more, play this game with him, and please him.

"It's been 4 months, and the entire Lower East Side has known about Salliman's 'feast', and even the "Daily Bloodline" has published a report on it...but you don't even have a hair of 'Fan' Can't find it."

Balan Sisera sits on the deck of his flying yacht, holding up binoculars to observe the flocks of birds in the distance.The exterior shape of the flying yacht is similar to that of luxury yachts at sea, except that there is a bubble-like transparent protective film on the outside-the brown protective film can not only prevent ultraviolet rays, but also block airflow and preserve oxygen.Clouds puffed on the protective film, making the vision in front of me like a white mist.According to Balaam's idea, the hull was painted white.From a distance, the airship flickered in the white clouds.

Grandi squeezed the pastry and said, "That's not true, I found out that every midnight at the banquet, the music of "La Vie en Rose" will be played, and then there will be silver fireworks lighting up Aphrodite Street..."

"Then what did you see?" Balan glanced at Grandy coldly, "What are his hobbies?"

"..."

Grundy ate his pastry with his head down.

Louis said: "This is a big banquet, Balan. There are at least 500 blood clansmen who go to the Salliman Hotel to participate in the banquet every month. People come and go, and come and go. The origin of a blood race. The human male waiter you mentioned is not the service staff in the hotel, it is probably the private servant of 'Fan'. Saliman is the property of Earl Rashid. If there is no proper reason, only According to me, there is no way for them to investigate customer information."

"You talk so much just to tell me that you got nothing?"

Louis wanted to say something, but Balaam stopped him by raising his finger.

"Captain."

Following the sound of Balan's voice, a pale green light screen jumped out of the air, on which was the captain's face in the wheelhouse.Balaam ordered:

"At ten o'clock, 300 meters."

The holographic light screen flashed away.The airship under everyone's seat was like a big fish, and began to turn the bow to sail.The male waiter in a tuxedo pushed the wooden gun rack over, and Baran got up to play with different styles of shotguns.

Louis continued: "It's not like nothing...'Mr. Fan' made reservations for hotels and various performance services anonymously online. , a concert hall or a singer's studio, you can set up a "performance room", convert the performances that have been filmed into a holographic mode, and perform holographic "live performances" repeatedly. Audiences can choose their favorite programs. Time to go into different 'performance rooms' to watch performances..."

The best "performance room" on the holographic network is the software "La Scala", which is completely a holographic product provided by the developer, and users can build a "performance room" here.According to their own needs, the "performance room" can be set in various sizes and forms; according to whether the performance is recorded or performed live, it can also be divided into real-time performances and replay performances.Some stars will also hold "concerts" (real-time) here, and sometimes there are so many fans that they can squeeze the "performance room" paralyzed, and everyone is stuck at the holographic concert...

That is to say, netizens can enter the online world as a virtual existence by using holographic login devices.They can design themselves as ghosts, dwarves, werewolves and other images, and enter the holographic world through holographic platforms - holographic software such as games, shopping malls, and theaters.In addition to pure virtual service software such as "La Scala", many shopping mall software provide services that connect virtual reality to reality.For example, the famous women's clothing brand "Eve" of Van Paier has a special "Eve" software that connects virtual reality to reality. Customers from all over the world can log in to the "Eve Holographic Store" and appear in the virtual specialty store with a real appearance. Pick out the right clothes, try them on or buy them.For the clothing purchased by customers in the virtual specialty store, after confirming the payment on the holographic website, the official will send the corresponding size in kind.

Because Balan doesn't go to the holographic network, and he only watches the live version when watching performances, or directly invites the singer to his home, it is impossible to watch the holographic version on the Internet, so Louis explained a little bit for him.

"For these high-level singers or classic programs, even the 'holographic replay', they all need to pay to enter. We investigated the audience records of several 'performance rooms' where he might go to find out the intersection, Found someone."
