Carol City's current city center is located near the Mercenary Guild to the South, where there are a large number of NPC shops and a large auction house, which is the most popular. Since the goods sold in the NPC store are only to meet the needs of players when they are low-level, and later, with the improvement of the life skills of life professional players, they will gradually replace NPCs, and the high-level items they produce and sell will become the main consumer goods, which will inevitably lead to changes in the business pattern. In addition, the mastermind later placed the credit trading center in the east of the city, and the center of Carol City gradually shifted to the east, and the south gradually declined, and only the mercenary guild can still attract a lot of popularity.

Now the shops in the south of Carol City have sold more than ten gold coins, and some even have more than thirty or forty gold coins. The shops in the east of Carol City are worth one or two gold coins, and some don't even have a gold coin. In the next two months, the prices of these shops will skyrocket at least dozens of times, and the prices of some gold shops will skyrocket hundreds of times. The rally in the next decade is even more terrifying.

Now, these places are still slums that no one cares about, and there is not even a single high-end building.

Nie Yan walked towards the ruling hall in the center of Carroll, and after a while, a towering white building appeared in front of him, in a typical Greenland style, covered with delicate carvings, all of which were made entirely of stone and blessed with magic, shining with a light blue light. A few spider plants fell from the top of the building, wafting with a fragrant fragrance.

Nie Yan walked into the government affairs hall, the ground was so smooth that the shadows of people could be reflected, and the roof was more than ten yards high, giving people an incomparably open feeling, and the roof was covered with various colorful paintings.

An old man walked towards Nie Yan, he was wearing a dark black uniform and gold epaulettes, giving people a sense of majestic oppression, and because he was dressed straightly, the old man looked very energetic.

"Honorable Archon, Lord Truth, I have come to buy the land."

"Welcome to Carol City to settle down, Carol City welcomes every merchant to come and set up shop, we will give the greatest discount to merchants who abide by the law, please come with me." Archon Trus said, and walked inside with Nie Yan.

In his previous life, Nie Yan had also been here, but by the time he came here, it was too late, even if it was a shop in the most corner of Carol City, it was as high as thousands of gold coins or even tens of thousands of gold coins, at that time, Carol City was known as the city of gold, and gold flowed everywhere. Any ordinary shop can make a lot of money by pouring something upside down, and in faith, the wealth of merchants is no less than that of cutting-edge players, or even surpassing. At that time, Nie Yan could only sigh and walk out of the ruling hall regretfully.

And now, Nie Yan can grab a large number of shops at a very low price when many players have not yet begun to notice the real estate.

"What location do you need?" Archon Truss pointed to a model of the city, and all the shops that were being sold were marked one by one, and even the prices were clearly written.

Nie Yan looked towards the eastern area of the city model, where there were currently more than twenty shops for sale, with the most expensive two gold coins and the lowest fifty silver coins.

There are a few gold shops that Nie Yan has seen in his previous life, and there is a shop near the credit trading center, which was sold for tens of thousands of gold coins when he changed hands in his previous life, and they are even more valuable in the real world, but now they are placed in front of Nie Yan, and the price is: two gold coins.

There's nothing more heart-pounding and crazy than this.

"I want this shop." Nie Yan pointed to the location of the shop and said, when he said this, his heart beat a little, and a mood that was so excited that he almost screamed.

With these two gold coins, the future will create infinite possibilities!

Nie Yan traded the money to the consul Trus, and successfully obtained the title certificate for that position.

This thin, somewhat ancient scroll is a legally binding document in the virtual world, and all its terms are protected by law like the terms of a contract in real life.

Nie Yan bought a total of twelve plots of land for the future gold shop, two of which occupy a huge area, and can even be used to upgrade the auction house, and the most prosperous place in the east of the city in the future will stand up as Nie Yan's own auction house.

Nie Yan took a look at his backpack, and after buying so much land, there were only two gold coins left in his backpack.

The most profitable thing in the world is not to engage in industry, but to invest with a forward-looking vision, to make money with money, and to achieve the purpose of capital expansion. Rebirth gave Nie Yan many opportunities that he had lost in his previous life.

Carroll City will be the most prosperous capital of the Greenland Empire in the future, and these twelve gold shops will become the most profitable shops in Carroll City in the future, even if it is just to build shops and collect rent, it is also a huge income.

System: Since you have purchased more than 5 shops in Carroll City, Carroll City Esteem +5.

The increase in the esteem value of Carol City will help Nie Yan's various activities in Carol City, when the respect value of Carol City reaches 30, and he can even openly appear on the street when he is famous, he still enjoys the protection of the guards, and buys things like medicines from NPCs, and NPCs will not increase the price casually. Because the Resident Respect Score represents your status in Carol City.

After being famous, he openly swaggered on the street, what a trendy thing! However, with Nie Yan's low-key surname, he would never be so ostentatious.

"In the future, when you upgrade your store, we will take 1% tax from your profit income, every month, you must upgrade your store within two months, and pay 0.05% of the store valuation as the store's holding tax, the maximum default period is three months, if you can't pay the tax arrears in three months, we will forcibly confiscate your store according to Greenland's laws, do you have any questions?" Archon Truss asked.

"There is no doubt." Nie Yan said that these taxes are completely negligible compared to the huge benefits brought to him by the store.

After paying the money and receiving the property rights certificates of all the shops, Nie Yan seemed to see countless shops flowing with gold, standing on the east side of Carol City.

Because the prosperity there is predictable!

Nie Yan came out of the Consulate, even if he started to do nothing now, and slowly waited for the land to appreciate, the money earned by the appreciation of these shops in the future would be enough for his expenses. Of course, Nie Yan will never be satisfied like this, the sea is wide and the sky is high for the birds to fly, he has more things to do.

In addition to selling things like black phenol elixirs, Nie Yan also continued to sell some of the spider web scrolls, sheep transformation scrolls, and flash dust, but most of the money earned was used by Nie Yan to buy things that might appreciate in the future, such as anti-petrification potions to be used in the Medusa lair, spiritual equipment, and so on.

In addition, Nie Yan also bought a few lucky gems, and he already had fifteen lucky gems in his hand. For Nie Yan, it is not cost-effective for these lucky gems to wait for appreciation or to sell them, and it is best to use them up and strengthen their equipment, so that they can reflect the maximum value.

Nie Yan remembered the dark gold dagger blood contract dagger at hand, it seems to be the best in hand, that is, this equipment, although this equipment is level 0 equipment, but after all, it is dark gold level, the attack is not bad, and the most important thing is that it has a relatively rare caste, sucking 3% of blood, if the attack can be improved, it will be even more perfect.

It's too wasteful to use lucky gems to upgrade zero-level equipment, a lucky gem is worth 5 silver coins, such an expensive thing, at least it should be used when it is too slow to upgrade at dozens of levels. However, Nie Yan has no worries, there are many opportunities to make money in the future, and then buy lucky gems, elite-level and lord-level creatures above level five have a certain probability of producing lucky gems, and ordinary players are generally reluctant to use them and sell them at the auction house, so the lucky gems on the market will not be out of stock.

A lucky gem can add 10 attack to weapons, 15 defense to equipment, and equipment requires level +1, 10 attack and 15 defense, which is enough to drive many players crazy. However, there is a success rate in smashing lucky gems. The success rate of using lucky gems is 60% for a piece of equipment from the first to the fifth order, and if it succeeds, the equipment will be promoted to the first level, and if it fails, it will be lowered by one level. From the sixth to the tenth level, the success rate is 50%, if you succeed, you will be promoted by one level, and if you fail, you will be reduced back to the fifth level. From the eleventh to the fifteenth tier, the success rate is still 50%, and if the synthesis fails, the equipment will completely explode. Sixteenth-tier to twentieth-tier equipment, each upgrade can be accompanied by a powerful skill surname, and at the twentieth level, it is almost equivalent to the existence of legendary equipment.

When crafting equipment, each additional lucky gem placed will have a higher success rate.

Using lucky gems to synthesize equipment, the results are often very tragic, people with good character, a few lucky gems will smash up the level of equipment, smashing out priceless equipment, and some people will stumble into eternal hatred, and the equipment above the tenth order will be exploded.

In any case, smashing lucky gems is a game that only the rich can afford, and ordinary players dare not play it, they simply can't afford to play it.

Fifteen lucky gems, plus Pandora's Box has a success rate bonus to synthesis in even-numbered rounds, Nie Yan feels that it is okay to give it a try, after all, the synthesis of equipment of the tenth order and below the tenth order will not explode.

After making a decision, Nie Yan put the Blood Pact Dagger and a Lucky Gem into Pandora's Box, and a red halo swirled on the Blood Pact Dagger, next to which was the dazzling Lucky Gem.

System: Have you decided to level up this equipment?

Nie Yan stared at the time in his faith, calculating whether the time was in an even or odd round, looking at the fast-beating second hand, his pupils reflected a series of numbers.

Be!

Nie Yan clicked on synthesis.

System: Successful synthesis, equipment level +1, currently the equipment level is 1.

Luck seemed to be good, Nie Yan took a look at the current surname of the Blood Contract Dagger.

Blood Pact Dagger (+1 Dark Gold): Requires Level 1.

Surname: Attack 33-36, Agility +11, Critical Hit +12, Lifesteal 3%.

Attack Speed: 2.3 Weight: 3 lbs.

Exclusive: Available to all factions.

The synthesis is successful, the Blood Pact Dagger has an additional 10 attack points, and the required level has been increased by 1 level, so that this Blood Pact Dagger is already higher than some gold-level level 5 weapon attacks.
