I opened a mall in ancient times

Luo Chaoxi watched the few people leave before turning his attention to the street.

This was the first time he saw the streets of Connecticut City outside.

The location of their store is rather subtle, at the junction of the East and West districts.

The east area is where the rich live, the west area is the market, and Luo Chaochao's store is at the southeast end of the west area.

The southern area is a concentrated trading area for merchants, and it is the most chaotic place. There are everyone here, and it is really not easy to open a store here to do business without any strength.

The location isn't bad, but it's definitely not good either. The surrounding shops are doing good business, but the problem lies here, the location is not good.

The competition is even greater. There are countless competing products for the same food. For example, Kansai, the caravan owner, doesn't care where to eat.

Pretty much anyway.

The same is true of Luo Chaochao's previous store, but he is even less motivated, and the store doesn't sell anything at all.

The background setting belongs to the background setting, but if you occupy such a shop and don't work, you will really be judged by others, and you will be starved to death because of your inaction.

The Kansai caravan is resting at the hotel at the end of this street. They originally planned to leave at this time tomorrow, but because they had more instant noodles, they decided to postpone it for a day and set off the day after tomorrow.

The 77 taels of silver was life-saving money for Luo Chaochao, but it was nothing in the Kansai caravan.

With so many people in their caravan, they can eat 20 taels of silver a day, but they just spend a little money to improve the food for the caravan members.

Among other things, the taste is really good, and it is also simple and convenient, just soak in hot water, even cold water can also be soaked.

Luo Chaochao stood at the door and looked at it for a while, then closed the door with his backhand. He didn't look for the system to buy goods for the time being, and he didn't read the system upgrade news.Instead, I went shopping on the street and confirmed the current price.

He ate a bowl of Yangchun noodles in a shop.

The most common one, the Yangchun Noodles, which had nothing added except chopped green onion, cost him 15 Wen. If you want to add an egg, you need to add 5 Wen.

Sure enough, I was right to say that the discount was right, otherwise, if the price was lower than the market price, it would be easy to cause problems, and it would be easy to grab the business of other stores and attract other stores to target me.

Not to mention that there are beef cubes in my own instant noodles!

It's just that the meat is too little to make people feel guilty.

Luo Chaochao doesn't really want to be the target of public criticism before the commodity has fully opened up the market.

After Luo Chaochao finished his meal, he went to other stores, bought some snacks on the way, and then returned to his store after dark with the information he had collected.

The system has automatically cleaned up the desktop, which is the benefit of having a system.

Luo Chaochao put the unfinished things he had bought on the table, and then started looking for the system to process Kansai's orders.

A pack of instant noodles is two pennies, a thousand packs is 5000 packs, a total of ten taels of silver, and a box of one hundred boxes is only one penny, and the packaging fee for the two packages is only a little over ten taels .

The profit is amazing, but after deducting the money purchased, the money earned is just enough to pay off the rent owed before.

Fortunately, the deposit alone allowed Luo Chaochao to be promoted to the second level.

【Name: Luo Chao

Race: human

Bloodline:? ? ?

Age: 16

Level: 2 [Normal]

Experience Points: 63980/10000000

Coins: 0

Product: none

Shop: Nine Points of Water [in debt...]]

[System: Congratulations to the player for successfully upgrading, you have reached lv.2 [vendor]. 】

[System: Congratulations to the player for unlocking the mall, the third-level items have been unlocked, please go to the store to buy. 】

[System: Congratulations to the player for being promoted to level two, [Store Protection] has been unlocked, you can spend money to choose to open the enchantment. 】

After reaching the second level, this experience bar looks a little scary.

Luo Chaochao worked hard to get thousands of instant noodles to earn this little money, and to upgrade to the third level, the experience bar was upgraded from 1000 to [-] million.

In other words, Luo Chaochao needs to sell another 1000 taels.

The progress bar is too big.

You can't sell instant noodles all the time, how much should you sell instant noodles?Kansai is about to leave, so it is definitely impossible to buy anything, but to start a new business.

Luo Chaochao opened his backpack habitually. In addition to the instant noodles he exchanged, there was another treasure box in the backpack. This time the treasure box was given by the treasure box that was upgraded to the second level.

Luo Chaochao originally knew what was inside, but when he remembered the instant noodles in the first-level gift bag, he was curious about what he was giving this time.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining: [Level 1 Suit Sword Shadow Set x 1], [Orleans Sauce x 1], [Orleans Sauce Recipe x [-]]]

really!

It is still necessary to take a look!

Just now, Luo Chaochao was still worrying that he had no one else to sell besides Kansai, so the system sent a new solution.

The barbecue is really good, at least the taste is very fragrant, which can attract customers.

The most important thing is that the gourmet store is easier to get started.

After all, of course Luo Chaochao has another problem, he doesn't have an oven.

There is an earthen stove in the back kitchen, but Luo Chaochao can't move the earthen stove out, and it's not suitable.

There are so many people from the Western Regions here, they must be used to eating skewers, and even if they have an Orleans taste, they probably won’t be competitive.

How about using the caravan in Kansai tomorrow as a guinea pig?

Then, Luo Chaochao looked at the newly opened [Store Protection] function.

This shop protection is used on your own shop. It costs fifty taels to turn on the primary protection for 24 hours, five taels for the intermediate level, one tael for the advanced level, and ten taels for the special level.

Very expensive.

Even for primary protection, fifty cents a day adds up to a lot.

Luo Chaochao, who has just escaped poverty, cares about fifty Wen.

A day may not seem like much, but a month adds up to 18 Wen!There are [-] taels in a year!I have to sell at least [-] packs of instant noodles to earn back.

The money he earns in a day is not enough to open a special defense formation for a day!

But Luo Chaochao also forgot that the amount of the business he just did was 77 taels, which was enough for a family of three to live a well-off life for several years. If it wasn't because Luo Chaochao owed money, he could have a good life in the early stage.

Being able to open a shop will naturally make a lot of money, although it costs a lot, but as long as the craftsmanship is not bad, you can

[The host can consider the shop protection system, after all, the night in Kangzhou City is not as peaceful as you think. 】The system sees that Luo Chaochao has no impulse to the store protection system, and even shuts it down if he wants to see it, so he quickly opens his mouth to stop it.

Kangzhou City is the place where the three countries meet. The trade here is prosperous, but there are a lot of fish and dragons. There are all kinds of people. There are all kinds of religions and nine schools everywhere. In those inconspicuous corners, you can often see dirty beggars with disheveled faces.

These beggars may also beg, but when necessary, they are not unable to break into the house to steal or rob.

Besides, although Kangzhou City is under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Sheng, it involves the management of three countries, and sometimes the law enforcement officers are easy to fight in the middle. If something really happens, Luo Chaochao really has no place to reason.

[But it's so expensive. ] Luo Chaoxi sighed, but still listened to the system and clicked on the primary protection.

With his current net worth, he can afford elementary school.

A faint transparent blue light curtain rose from the ground and quickly enveloped the small building, tightly protecting the small building.

Luo Chaoxi tried to touch the air at the door, only feeling that his hand seemed to penetrate a layer of membrane, but he felt that there was nothing.

[No one else can feel it except the host. The primary protection array is mainly used as an early warning. It can remind you when someone comes in. When necessary, the host can control the customers and dangerous people in the store by manipulating the protection array. After being attacked, the counterattack will be activated. 】

Luo Chaochao understands that the basic system is to warn, if the other party makes a move, then fight back.

[What about intermediate and advanced? 】

[With the active attack effect and automatic counterattack effect, the protective energy will also be enhanced accordingly, because the danger level of Kangzhou City is not high, and the host level is not high, it will not attract powerful creatures, the primary protective array is enough, if Going to more dangerous areas requires advanced protective arrays. 】In this regard, the system can be said to answer every question, but Luo Chaochao has noticed something subtle.

[Just Kangzhou City? 】

[Yes, the rest is for the host to explore by himself. 】

He knew that there must be other planes, but what Luo Chaochao noticed was that the system said that Kangzhou City was not very dangerous.

Is there any more dangerous person in this plane?

After all, the system defines the current plane as an intermediate fantasy plane.

Luo Chaochao's heart skipped a beat suddenly. [System, there will be no ghosts or monsters on this plane! 】

[Yes, but the host cannot see it, and needs to trigger a special task or system exchange. 】

Luo Chaochao has a filter for the game system. He only remembers that the game store only sells all kinds of food and specialty products. He didn’t turn back at all. He only read the first few pages. page, and saw the items sold in the upgraded mall.

At the front are things like talismans, as well as spirit stones, scrolls, spirit swords, martial arts training cheats, etc. These are relatively normal things, and there are [Fox Demon's Skin], [Painted Skin Ghost's Human Skin] in the back ] This kind of thing is very wrong at first sight.

[Can primary protection protect these ghosts? 】

[It can protect against special creatures below the third level. With the host's current development level, the elementary level is enough. When the host turns on the third level and returns to the initial plane, it can be replaced with an intermediate level. 】

Luo Chaoxi's heart skipped a beat again.

[Is my original world not an ordinary technological world? 】

[The system's judgment is the primary fantasy plane. 】

Originally, Luo Chaochao thought that his life was an ordinary infrastructure management game, but he didn't expect this system to turn his new life into a ghost movie management game.

Don't say it.

interesting.

And the system said that with his current rookie level, he didn't need to worry about being approached by ghosts for the time being.

Originally, Luo Chaochao felt that it was very painful for him to spend fifty cents a day, but now, Luo Chaochao didn't think so.

He even thinks the system is good and cheap, it is a good system!

The house that the system gave Luo Chaochao is a small three-story building. The first floor is the hall and the main place to sell things. The second floor is developed into something similar to a guest room. The third floor is where Luo Chaochao lives now. .

Here, like the first floor, there are air leaks everywhere, the floor is warped when walking, and it creaks when walking, as if it will fall from the upstairs in the next second.

Luo Chaochao doesn't plan to let people live in the store, and doesn't plan to continue to use the second floor as a guest room, but wants to empty the second floor and make it into something like a private room.

Although Luo Chaochao really wants to open a grocery store directly like a game, but opening a grocery store in the game is obviously different from opening it himself. conducive to development.

And what is best for accumulating wealth in the short term?

Of course it is food.

And the system has a branch system. If he opens a gourmet restaurant in this store, he can go to other places to open a new branch after making money to sell other things.

Luo Chaochao had a preliminary strategy in mind, but still needed specific planning.

He turned the building around and was quite satisfied with the house.

But the house doesn't belong to him now

What Uncle Chen means is that he can renew the rent after paying the rent...

Luo Chao Chao suddenly hesitated.

If you can't renew the lease, won't you just be a small vendor setting up a stall in the future?

In fact, it is not impossible, but there are two concepts of having a storefront and not having a storefront, and I always feel that I will be chased by the urban management.

Luo Chaochao didn't find anything else in the store, so he came down from the third floor and bought a stove that looked like an earthen stove but was actually a gas stove at the system store for two taels of silver.

It can be moved later, otherwise Luo Chaochao would not buy it.

He spent so much money purely because it was very useful. It was really convenient to have a gas stove and a fire. At least Luo Chaochao could boil water by himself.

The kind of barbecue Luo Chaochao who opened in the store is not considered for the time being. He wants to be a happy peddler, go to the bustling place outside to set up a stall, and seduce these ancient people with delicious barbecue.

In order to grill skewers for a while, Luo Chaochao was still thinking about buying a barbecue grill and bamboo sticks in the system store, but when he saw the price in the system store, he immediately withdrew his thoughts.

The gas stove is only two taels of silver, but the barbecue oven costs two taels of silver!

Why not grab the money!

This is much more expensive than instant noodles!

Bamboo sticks are cheap, but Luo Chaochao hasn't asked how much the bamboo sticks are in physical stores, so he won't buy them for now.

Luo Chaochao closed the system mall and went out again.

This time, his goal was bamboo sticks and blacksmiths.

It's a pity that Luo Chaochao is not a local, so he doesn't know where there is a suitable blacksmith shop and bamboo sticks to sell. He managed to find the way and found the blacksmith shop, but when he asked the price, Luo Chaoxi suddenly froze.

Not only does it take time to customize, but the price is even three taels of silver.

Then he might as well buy the system.

Ironware is expensive now. Although they can make iron in their blacksmith shop, the management of ironware in the market is very strict. Ironware is not available every day. There is a standard for the daily quantity. If there are too many, they will be reported.

Copper is a commodity directly under official control and cannot be bought or sold in the market.

Luo Chaochao came out of the blacksmith shop, looked at the sunset in the sky and sighed.

The vendors on the street changed many people.

The vendors who set up stalls here during the day have changed a batch, from stalls selling daily necessities and various strange things to various snacks. Soon, the night market will open.

The jewelry stall next to Luo Chaochao was packing up and preparing to go home.

"Hey."

Almost at the same time, this seductive-looking man from the Western Regions sighed together with Luo Chao Chao.

The two glanced at each other at the same time, and at the same time saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

The one who was going to set up a stall at the current place after the stall owner left was a young man with a dark complexion and a bronze complexion who was pushing a small cart. over there.There are some tinkling gold ornaments on his body, and some beautiful rubies, and the ornaments between his eyebrows are a bit like women's flowers, but the material is gold.

"Lihou." The handsome man from the Western Regions said.

Luo Chaoxi was at a loss for a moment, and then realized that the other party said "Hello" only because the other party had a Western Region accent.

"Hello."

"Would you like some lamb skewers again?"【Do you want some lamb skewers? 】

The man from the Western Regions lifted the cloth covering the trolley, and there was a barbecue grill on it.

The jeweled kind.

The man from the Western Regions looked a little melancholy and sighed again: "Lintian, it seems that I have been chasing skewers in Zelikou for the last day." [Today is the last day I will grill skewers here].

"Er's tiger bowl, tell Er to go back and collect the throne." [My father asked me to go back and inherit the throne].

Luo Chaochao twitched the corners of his mouth.
