(Thank you for the nostalgia of luxury, the uncle who loves to read novels, and the reward of the sacred grass mud horse, thank you for your support, recommendation and collection, come and come)
After obtaining an identity token representing the owner of the auction house from Arand Dan, Bai Xia couldn't wait to come to this property that belonged to him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Located in the south of the city, the auction house is fronted by a bustling main thoroughfare, with a faΓ§ade about 30 meters wide and is so well decorated that it looks like a luxurious palace.
After entering the door, Bai Xia found that there was a large group of women in sexy uniforms, they were standing in a row and waiting there, the leader was hot and charming, he was a rare stunner.
After Bai Xia inquired, he learned that they were all staff members of this auction house, and the standard configuration of a small auction house was 10,000 ordinary seats and 300 VIP boxes, equipped with 30 service girls and 4 auctioneers.
The stunner that made Bai Xia feel amazing was the chief auctioneer of this auction house, and in addition to her, there were three secondary auctioneers, all of whom were rare beauties. The 30 waitresses are in charge of the front desk, auction area, consignment area and private room services.
The auction house's facilities are equipped with magic, so the level of automation is relatively high, and only 10 people are needed to take care of 300 boxes. There are 5 people in the consignment area, 10 people in the auction area, and 5 people in the front desk, a total of 30 people is enough to keep the entire auction house in order.
However, correspondingly, Bai Xia needs to pay a huge salary to these staff every month, each service girl is paid 1 gold coin per month, the second auctioneer is 10 gold coins, and the chief auctioneer is 50 gold coins.
"It's a cannibal." To be honest, Bai Xia refused when he first heard this price, don't look at him now, he seems to be very rich now, more than 1000 gold coins, but except for the gold coins for picking up the missing boss and the 1000 gold coins rewarded by the system, his current assets are actually negative.
It's very difficult to get gold coins.,Ordinary monsters only provide some copper coins.,Boss-level bosses will come out with silver coins.,Gold coins will be exploded at the beginning of the lord level.,Needless to say, how difficult the lord-level boss is.,The key is,Even if a normal person has been wandering in the wild.,It's lucky to be able to meet two or three lord-level bosses who have been beaten in a month.γ
And these staff members have to eat him 110 gold coins every month, which is simply making him unable to make ends meet, and he will soon become a poor ghost again.
"I can earn a villa in the worst month, which is comparable to the salary I paid for a year in the real school." Bai Xia shook his head, reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, although these girls eat money, but once the auction starts to run officially, the money will be earned back soon.
"And who paid your wages before I came?" Bai Xia asked the chief auctioneer after paying his first month's salary.
The name of this stunner is Daenerys, Bai Xia is very skeptical that she also has dragon blood, but after looking at it, the eyes of delusion found that it was not, but he just thought too much.
In response to Bai Xia's question, Daenerys replied like this: "Before that, we both worked in the royal auction house, and we were only assigned after you obtained this auction house, and in addition, if you need it, the royal family will provide you with appraisers and financial management for free." β
"For free?" Bai Xia was not stupid, and he almost understood when he heard it, "If the appraiser and financial management are all members of the royal family, the income of my auction house is equivalent to complete transparency, after all, it is a profiteering industry, and any omission of a part of the tax is a loss for the country." β
This game is sometimes done with some details, but these are not mandatory, after all, Bai Xia is the owner of the auction house, and if he is not willing to hand over the money to others, no one can force him. At most, it is just a change in the means of auditing the accounts of the state organs.
Bai Xia was really in no mood to pay attention to the complicated tone in this: "Why don't you want it for free, let them all come." β
He had no intention of doing something bad from the beginning, and he was naturally not afraid of these "monitors". As for whether these guys will secretly make accounts and embezzle Bai Xia's property, I'm sorry, there is a game system, this is impossible.
Now that the other players have not left the novice village, Bai Xia naturally has no customers. Throw all the useless blue sky and white clouds on his body to the consignment area, and let the appraiser estimate the price and then multiply it 10 times before putting it on the shelves, as for the purple and green best, he will put it away first, and he plans to open an auction in a few days.
The auction house also has its own owner's room, with an area of about 100 square meters, and the decoration is also very luxurious, so Bai Xia can usually rest here.
"This bed...... This sofa ...... This carpet ...... Alas, it's just a sister paper away. Bai Xia sighed, didn't stay here for too long, and walked straight to the teleportation array after leaving the auction house.
After opening the job transfer scroll given by Arand Dan, Bai Xia got a clue that he needed to go to the main city of Snowwind in the five main cities of the Stormwind Empire to find an NPC named "Paros", and that guy would help him complete the job transfer.
The cost of teleportation between the main cities is also very expensive, and a single person will be charged 10 gold coins at a time, which makes Bai Xia's flesh hurt.
"I really want to have players out of the novice village soon, I want to make money." Bai Xia finally realized that an online game could not be played on a stand-alone machine, at least he needed some fat sheep with a lot of money to gather wool.
The main city of Snow Wind is located in the northernmost part of the entire Storm Empire, bordering another great power, the Winter Empire, and the two sides are divided between the two sides by a large mountain range. And this mountain range is the legendary "Snow Dragon Mountain Range" inhabited by super divine beasts.
As soon as Bai Xia appeared at the teleportation point of the Snow Wind Main City, he immediately felt a chill attacking, as if a person at the equator had suddenly been thrown to the North Pole, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"I'll go, my physique feels cold, how can ordinary people stand it?" As soon as he said this, he immediately realized that he had made a fool. Because the streets were full of people coming and going, each wearing a heavy padded jacket.
"Bee-eater, my Neptune Demon Crystal Armor is a high-level holy relic, why doesn't it even have the function of keeping warm?" Bai Xia thought that this game would have its own ability to protect against the cold, how could he play the game in such a cold place?
To this, the beeeater's answer was: "Master, the player's ability to withstand the cold depends on his water resistance, the higher the resistance, the more he is not afraid of the cold, if you want to move freely in Snowwind City without being affected, you need at least 10 water resistance." β
"Resistance? I have strong water, where can I get water resistance? Bai Xia looked at the equipment on his body, and he didn't add any water attribute resistance, so it was completely useless here.
"You can buy fashion, you can buy local fashion in all major cities, and the fashion will provide some attribute functions, and the fashion in Snowwind City can increase the resistance of the water element." Bee Eater said, pointing to a shop not far away.
The location of this fashion store is just right, as if he had long known that there would be a stunned person like Bai Xia who didn't know the climate of Snow Wind City and teleported without preparation, and the huge signboard could be seen clearly standing on the teleportation array.
"Snow Wind Fashion Store, the name is too unconstructive." Bai Xia complained.
But I still have to go and buy it, the cold here is really not a casual talk, if the body is frozen, then don't think about fighting monsters.
The store is very upscale, and it seems to be going the boutique route, and the kind of heavy civilian goods are not found here, but only some extremely lightweight, fashionable high-end fashion.
Bai Xia took a fancy to a white trench coat with a mink collar, which was exquisite in workmanship and beautiful in shape, and the key was that it was very lightweight, which would not affect the battle at all. The attribute is +15 Water resistance.
There is nothing else, but such a fashion that can't even compare to a white outfit can be sold for 50 gold coins!
"It's a dog!" Bai Xia gritted his teeth and bought it anyway.
Replacing the appearance of the Sea King's Demon Crystal Armor, Bai Xia suddenly changed from a white-armored general to a white-clothed man, but his appearance was a little lower.
Bai Xia's biggest inferiority complex in his previous life was his own face, which was too ordinary and inconspicuous. Fortunately, after the crossing, although he became a handyman, his appearance has been greatly improved. Even if it is not at the level of Pan An and Song Yu, at least it can be worthy of the word "handsome".
According to the quest prompt, Bai Xia left Snowwind City, walked all the way north, walked about 10 kilometers, and finally found the house described in the quest at the foot of a mountain, in which Paros lived.
Along the way, Bai Xia also killed a lot of monsters. From the level 11 Snow Demon Rabbit to the level 20 Snow Demon Ape, all of them were instant kills, and his experience also increased rapidly, increasing by 10% in just over 1 hour.
"If you live in the wilderness, you won't be afraid of monster attacks? Looks like a master. Bai Xia glanced at a few snow demon apes not far away, and said in his heart that this Paros is really not ordinary.
Human cities are guarded by magic arrays, so monsters don't dare to approach, but if someone builds a house to live in the wild where monsters are gathered, the result can be imagined.
Those who dare to do this are either extremely confident masters, or they are mentally retarded for too long. This Paros obviously will not be the latter.
"Is anyone there?" Bai Xia stepped forward and knocked on the door, looking forward to what kind of sacredness this Paros was.
After about 20 seconds, the wooden door slowly opened, and Bai Xia looked inside curiously.
However......
"Huh? What about people? He was stunned for a moment, although the door was opened, there was no one behind the door! Could it be a paranormal event?
"I'm here." Suddenly, a crisp voice came from below.
Bai Xia looked down, only to find that in front of his heels, a little guy about a meter tall was standing there. No wonder I didn't see anyone, it was because I was too short!
It was a child who looked to be seven or eight years old, with short soft silver hair, skin as white as snow, a pair of large sky-blue eyes that were watery and very cute, and he was wearing a thin mage robe, with only his head and two fleshy hands exposed.
Bai Xia couldn't tell whether this was a little boy or a little girl, because this child was so beautiful, so he planned to find out with his delusional eyes.
However, this look almost didn't scare his heart......
