I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

This morning, most of the residents on Kumbrun Street found that the Pine Cone Tavern next to the Apothecary Union had turned into a strange and exotic building overnight.

From the exterior wall, the new building is almost entirely made of wood. The carved doors and windows and the pillars and railings under the porch are all painted with bright red paint. In addition, the hanging red lanterns and the upturned cornices bring the whole building to the world. People have a light and majestic momentum.

Such a building is so exquisite and beautiful that many passers-by can't help but stop and watch it when they pass by.

And when they are admiring the building, they will inevitably be attracted by the job advertisements under the corridor, which has led to the recovery of the flow of people on Xiongbrun Street, and the crowd of onlookers at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant has not decreased.

As far as the residents living nearby are concerned, some smart people who have heard about the deeds of the elves have already guessed that this is about the wood elf who can use magic to transform houses and is planning to open a new store here, and then he went to the store to have a look. Sure enough, there was a Chinese character symbol of "Xia Zhisen" painted on the bottom of the recruitment notice.

Considering the impact of the previous Xiazhisen stores on the surrounding streets, the owners of many nearby stores are both panicked and excited.

The panic is that if the business of the new elves store is the same as the type of store they are running, then they will face great pressure and sense of crisis. The excitement is that once Xia Zhisen opens the store here, it is bound to It will bring a lot of people flow.

These bosses themselves were too embarrassed to watch the fun, so they all dispatched shop assistants to inquire about the news of the new elf shop.

Coney of the Mask Tavern was one of the guys sent by his boss to inquire about the situation, because he was the only literate other than the boss in their tavern.

In front of the new store, Kony followed the passers-by and stood on the side of the street admiring the gorgeous architectural style of the hot pot restaurant for a long time, then passed through the crowd, and stood at the front to check the recruitment notice under the corridor.

Although he knew how to read, Kony's cultural level was not very high. He read it several times with guesswork before he understood all the content above.

——Xiazhisen Hot Pot Restaurant. 】

"What does a hot pot restaurant do, a restaurant?"

Kony was rubbing his chin and thinking about what kind of business the hot pot restaurant was in, when a question seemed to come from his heart.

He turned his head and looked, good guy, he still knows the speaker, isn't this the guy from the mercenary tavern, Meng Ha!

The dark-skinned Meng Ha seemed to realize that someone was looking at him. He raised his head, and his eyes happened to collide with Ko Ni's.

Good guy, he called it good guy in his heart!Isn't this guy in the cotton hat Corny from the Diagonal Mask Tavern?

The two immediately realized that the other party was here to inquire about the news, just like themselves. They looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, and then they separated and got out of the crowd.

Back at the tavern, Kony told his boss, Mr. Kuhl, what he saw in the recruitment notice, but for some reason, he concealed the salary offered by Xia Zhisen.

At first, Kuer still had a tense look on his face, but when he heard that the recruits were all kitchen workers such as chefs, vegetable washers, and dishwashers, the tension on his face immediately receded.

"Good job, Koni!" Kuhl first praised the buddy, and then sighed calmly: "So it's just a restaurant, so there is no threat to me!"

As an old tavern that has survived on Kumbrun Street for more than [-] years, Kool is confident that his regular customers will never be lured away by a restaurant.

Seeing the boss lying down comfortably on the chair, the thoughts in Ko Ni's head began to come alive.

While wiping the table, he recalled the contents of the recruitment notice. He can't do jobs with limited skills and experience. Jobs like washing dishes and vegetables are too boring, and he doesn't want to do them, but he can be a waiter!

The same as a waiter, working from morning to night in the mask tavern, the monthly salary is only 24 silver coins, while in the hot pot restaurant in Xia Zhisen, not only the salary is [-] silver coins higher, but the two time periods add up to only [-] silver coins a day. Working eight hours, with one day off every week, this treatment is much better than that of ordinary taverns!

It just so happens that his working hours here this month are also full, and he should be paid tonight. Do you want to find an excuse to take a day off tomorrow and go to a hot pot restaurant for an interview?

"Sorry, Your Excellency the Elf."

In the afternoon of the same day, Yuxia was called downstairs by Muriel in the process of learning magic. When he saw the dwarf merchant Karnak at the door of the grocery store, the other party apologized with this sentence.

This nonsensical apology caused many speculations to flash through Youxia's mind. Is there something wrong with his product, or the sales are too poor, and Kanak is not going to cooperate with him anymore?

However, immediately after, Kanak pulled Lanash who was standing aside and said: "Because of our fault, we sold the goods to that cunning slave trader Shian on the way, which caused him to manufacture a large number of imitations. We are very sorry for the loss of reputation and wealth caused by selling to the aristocratic class of human race and beast race countries."

Lan Nash was pinched by Kanak, and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, it's all my fault that I didn't figure out his identity."

Their words were too informative, and it took You Xia a while to realize: "You mean, the source of those pirated goods is Shi'an, that snake clan orc?"

"Yes." Kanak said truthfully: "We didn't know who he was at the time, and later we heard a businessman friend say that a batch of goods from the snake tribe orcs suddenly circulated among the nobles, and we found that those goods were imitations. It happened to be the goods we sold to a strange man halfway, and I realized that the strange man who bought things from us at that time was Shi An."

You Xia didn't know what to say for a while, although he knew that there were pirated goods circulating outside, but the behind-the-scenes mastermind was an old acquaintance he hated, which was another stimulus.

He frowned, secretly resentful in his heart, why didn't those two attacks kill the nasty snake orc?

"I'm really sorry, Your Excellency." Kanak looked at his frowning expression, apologized again sincerely, and said, "When we come this time, we will not only buy a large number of new goods, but also give you corresponding compensation .”

"There's no need for compensation, and I can't blame you, I should hate that snake clan orc." You Xia said, "But can I make a request to you?"

"Please speak."

"This time your caravan should try to go to the country of the human race or the orc race, anyway, isn't it?"

"You don't mention it, I'm planning to do the same. We plan to buy a large amount of goods this time. The cities of Chand alone can't absorb so much." Kanak said, and asked again: "But you Are you sure you don't want compensation?"

"What are you going to compensate me for?"

"In fact, we have brought a batch of anti-shock carriages from the largest car dealership in our dwarf country this time, and I am going to give you one as a compensation gift."

Youxia paused, his heart beating fast, and he asked, "The car dealership you're talking about isn't Gululusi?"

"You guessed it right, the shock-absorbing carriages of their car dealership are very popular in the Terran country."

"Can you show me?"

"no problem."

Because they were standing right in front of the grocery store, Kanak directly took out a carriage from the space ring and parked it on the side street.

When You Xia saw this brand-new carriage, he sighed in his heart: It really is it!

Except that it was not as luxuriously decorated as Mr. Elgin's, the design of this carriage was exactly the same as the one he rode in the other day.

Youxia couldn't help feeling amused, just now he was still discussing with Liyoumen what kind of magic is convenient for traveling, and the answers he got were nothing more than teleportation magic and flying magic.

There is no doubt that teleportation magic is difficult and consumes a lot of mana. It is impossible for him to learn it at his current level. Even a great magician like Augest would rather choose to use expensive teleportation scrolls for long-distance teleportation. .

"Only the supernatural dragons among the giant dragon clan who are born with space ability will use teleportation magic without hesitation." Li Youmen said.

Flying magic is relatively easy. According to the human race's division of magic, it belongs to intermediate magic. However, because this magic requires long-term manipulation of foreign objects, it consumes a lot of magic energy, and it is only suitable for short-distance flying.

To sum up, Youxia can learn flying magic, but relatively speaking, it is more labor-saving and convenient to buy a vehicle made by a dwarf.

Although he was very moved by this gift from Kanak, Youxia still reminded: "Is this carriage expensive?"

"Here, its price is indeed very high," Karnak said, "but in our most prosperous capital city of Chand, it has been eliminated for three years, and it is purchased by us dwarves. A car like this The carriage only costs fifteen gold coins."

You Xia raised his eyebrows, quite shocked in his heart.

A carriage with a purchase price of 160 gold coins is sold for [-] gold coins in a human country. What is a huge profit, this is a huge profit!

In the end, unable to resist the temptation of convenient transportation, You Xia still accepted the compensation gift from the dwarf caravan.

After that, Youxia accompanied two dwarf merchants into the store to pick out a new batch of goods.

When Karnak came last time, only a few varieties of goods were unlocked in the grocery store, and the selection of goods was quite limited. This time it was different. Facing a small supermarket full of goods, the dwarf It really took a while to make a choice.

"Then that's all, it's 520 gold coins in total." Two hours later, Kanak held the purchase list and said solemnly, "I'm going to the carriage trading market tomorrow, and I'll come to pick up the goods at noon the day after tomorrow. Let's sign a deposit first. Contract, I will pay you a deposit of fifty gold coins."

You Xia nodded and said, "No problem."

After signing the form, You Xia went to the basement warehouse, preparing to prepare all the goods according to the purchase list.

Before that, he thought that he had just received a deposit of [-] gold coins, and the game experience value should be upgraded, so he first opened the game menu and checked the personal information panel.

The author has something to say: There was originally a plot where Youxia and Li Youmen learned magic, but I think it is too watery to write it into the text, so let's just put the dialogue.

You Xia: "Is there any magic suitable for traveling?"

Li Youmen: "Elves travel far, usually by flying mounts, or using teleportation scrolls, you have to ask about magic, and only flying magic and teleportation magic are suitable for long-distance travel."

You Xia: "Is there anything I can learn now?"

Li Youmen: "Teleportation magic requires a certain degree of control over space. You can't learn it. Flying magic is an intermediate magic in the division of human mages. You can try it, but it takes a long time to accurately control external objects." time practice."

You Xia: "Flying magic refers to flying on something?"

Li Youmen: "Well, most mages will choose to ride on their staffs, or those with strong balance ability, and some will fly on their staffs."

Hearing the second half of the adult elf's description, You Xia imagined that scene, only four words filled his mind: Flying Sword!
