Chapter 491: Opening
These chapters are transitions and plot explanations.,It may be a little dull.,But it's about to pass the bird.,**Soon coming.,Today's first update.,Let's get some monthly ticket support.,Haha!
The city of mercenaries, the number of the people's road.
The location on both sides of the main road connecting the city gate and the downtown square in the south is naturally the most important business district, and the three main roads of the mercenary city are all very, very common names: Renmin Road, Jiefang Road and Hongqi Avenue.
This is the handiwork of a veteran, and he even smits on it, believing that only such a name can be worthy of the status of a mercenary city.
The yellow, red, and blue flags representing the Glory Federation, the United Veteran Brothers, and the City of Mercenaries are already fluttering in the wind on the flagpole at the entrance of the town hall.
It's the seventh day (game time) after the establishment of the Mercenary City, and with the acceleration of the construction of the mercenary system facilities, the entire city has begun to take shape, especially the most critical business district, which is basically nearing completion.
A modern, beautiful city stands on the edge of the Hurricane Forest, and it is about to open its arms to all players.
At No. 18 Renmin Road, gongs and drums are noisy, colorful flags are unfurled, and a lion dance team is performing in front of a luxury shop, and the streets are crowded with players who have come to watch the ceremony.
A red banner printed with the words "Opening of the Season" in gilded letters blocks the signboard on the façade and unmistakably indicates the reason for the celebration.
No. 1-17 Renmin Road are all urban system buildings, of which No. 1 is the city hall. No. 2 is the headquarters of the city guard, while No. 18 is the first large-scale shop in the business district, and its gold content is self-evident.
"How's that, do you like it?" Lei asked with a smile.
This is a surprise he had prepared for Leng Ying!
In fact, all along, although it is said that Lei Jingtian has taken care of Leng Ying in the game, in fact, in addition to occasionally collecting some materials. Xiao Leng Ying has never made trouble for Lei Jingtian, she is too sensible compared to ordinary peers.
Of course, Lei Jingtian will not be unaware of Leng Ying's attachment to him, a complete family is the foundation for a child's happy growth.
Leng Ying didn't have a father, and because of a coincidence, Lei Jingtian entered her life, and naturally regarded Lei Jingtian as a replacement for her father.
is reasonable, and Lei Jingtian feels that he can't live up to her. It's like not being able to live up to Xiao Lufeng.
The shops in the player's city are the biggest source of income for the city master. Shops in the city are open to everyone, and anyone who has the money and is in a hurry can own them and run them themselves.
There are two options in terms of ownership, one is a one-time buyout, spend a sum of money to buy the entire store, and then only need to pay a little amount of land tax and management fees specified by the system, and if it increases in value, it can be transferred. However, the biggest risk is that if the city changes hands, the owner of the store will need to pay 50% of the initial buyout fee to continue to keep the store, otherwise it can be recovered by the new owner.
The second type is the least risky lease, where the player can sign a contract with the company that owns the city. It is enough to pay the rent once a month, and of course the taxes and management fees should not be less, so that even if the city changes hands. And there won't be much to lose.
Generally speaking, the vast majority of life players will choose to operate by renting, although the profit and autonomy are small, but at least they will not lose their money.
However, the shop at No. 18 Renmin Road was directly bought by Lei Tiantian and given to Leng Ying.
According to the company's local regulations, internal members can enjoy a 20% discount when they buy stores.
The price of this No. 18 shop is 800,000 credits for a one-time buyout. The price is definitely not expensive. However, in terms of location, size, decoration, etc., it is definitely one of the best shops in the Mercenary City.
Compared to the original small façade in Storm City and the City of Glory, it is definitely a shotgun change. How could Leng Ying not like it?
The way she showed her liking was simple, she threw herself into Lei Zhentian's arms, stood on tiptoe and kissed him the face.
As the first store to open in the City of Mercenaries, most of the high-level players in the United Company came to watch the ceremony, veterans, Xiao Ding, Lian Lian Hongchen Heart, Purple Night, Coffee and Milk Tea, Sword Test World... Everyone who can come is here, and there are hundreds of players who are watching the lively company. ^^ ^^
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Electronic salutes roared, and countless colored notes were struck into the sky and then fluttered down one after another.
Under the leadership of Lei Tiantian, Leng Ying walked to the steps at the door of the store, and the two of them pulled down the red banner hanging on the top together.
The six dazzling electronic neon signs of the "Yingying Pharmacy Collection" appeared in everyone's sight, and the audience immediately applauded and cheered.
Although Leng Ying is extremely smart, she is very young after all, where has she ever seen such a hot scene, her little face is flushed, and there is a trace of horror in her excitement.
At this time, the veterans and others walked up one after another, and gave Leng Ying a congratulatory red envelope with a smile on their faces.
Leng Ying, who regained her composure, thanked them, and of course she handed over all these red envelopes to Lei Jingtian, so that Lei Jingtian enjoyed the pleasure of counting the money and counting the cramps in his hands.
The store is 5 floors high, with the first floor being a general area, the second floor being a VIP area and a warehouse, the third floor being a production factory, the fourth floor being a laboratory, and the top floor being a cold living room, all of which are luxuriously decorated. ^^ ^^
Due to the things that had already been determined at the time of the move, the shops in the City of Glory had already been sold, and all the equipment and finished potions had already been entrusted to the system to be transferred, and five service NPCs had also been hired for the new pharmacy---- professional pharmaceutical NPCs needed Leng Ying to determine by himself.
The preparations are well prepared in advance, so as soon as the opening ceremony is over, the pharmacy will be open immediately, and Leng Ying, who has been the boss for a long time, is already familiar with this, and will soon command the NPC to put all the inventory potion goods on the shelves and start selling.
The electronic color advertising screen on the front of the pharmacy store immediately played an advertisement: the new store opened, all goods will be sold at 88% off, and those who buy 5000 credits at a time can give a VIP card, enjoy 95 discounts for a long time, and can enter the VIP area on the second floor to buy special medicines.
The members of the company can enjoy a 9% discount when they spend in the city, and the discount is naturally incomparable, although the players present have not yet lived in the mercenary city, but many people have begun to level up and play Baole nearby, the low-level ones go to the hurricane forest, and the high-level ones enter the abyss secret realm in groups.
They are most looking forward to the city of mercenaries being built soon, and it will be too convenient to level up in the future.
At the same time as announcing the opening, Leng Ying also took out a surprise she gave to Lei Jingtian, or to be precise, to the United Company.
As a high-level master natural apothecary, she placed several specially formulated potions she had refined in the VIP area.
Contemplative Water: When resting, increases MP recovery by 100% for 3 seconds and has a cooldown of 30 minutes.
Petrified Liquid: Increases the defense of the main body (regardless of equipment) by 200%, exempts from ignoring defense for the duration of the validity period, lasts 30 seconds, decreases action speed by 20%, and has a cooldown of 60 minutes.
Purifying Source: Removes all bad states and cools down for 10 minutes.
These three special potions are the first to appear in the second world, one is blue and one is guarded, and the most precious is of course the third purification source, which can be used to dispel all negative effects, including poisoning, which is undoubtedly extremely practical in combat or PK.
However, the price of the potion is not low, especially the purification source, a pack costs 2000 credits, and ordinary people really can't afford it.
The most important thing to put out a special potion is, of course, the advertising effect, the most attractive is actually the opening of the 88% discount, those players who were watching outside almost crowded the first floor of the 300-square-meter pharmacy store, and all the potions were completely snatched up.
Such a scene made the veterans and others very pleased, and the reason why they came to cheer for the opening of the pharmacy with great fanfare was not only the thunderous factor, but more importantly, the ordinary company members could feel the determination and confidence of the senior management.
The 20 stores that have been opened today are all divided by veterans and Xiao Ding by buyout, and tomorrow there will be dozens of times as many stores for people to buy or rent.
And in two days, the Mercenary City will be fully opened, and maintaining a thriving situation will be essential. The matter of the pharmacy came to an end, and Leng Ying didn't need to worry about it anymore, he returned to the city government with the veterans and Xiao Ding and others, because the veterans told him that there were important things to discuss.
In the conference room, the veteran showed the thunderstorm the capabilities of a city defense system.
"Tiger, as soon as the city opens, don't run around for the time being, help your brother!" The veteran smiled: "Look at it, I think this position belongs to you!" ”
