It still took two or three hours to get the map of Beishan Academy, and Zeng Jun and the others took out the city scroll one after another and returned to the city of Tongtian.

If you go to level up for two or three hours, you will come back not long after you arrive at the leveling place, so it doesn't make sense for Zeng Jun to go out to level up now, so it's better to find something in the city to pass the time, what should I do?

Zeng Jun suddenly thought that he had obtained the ownership of the No. 1 store last time he did a task, and the store had not yet had time to take care of it, so it took two or three hours to open the store first.

Zeng Jun walked through the central square of the city of Babel towards the shop between the auction hall and the equipment consignor on the north side of the square. From a distance, I could see the auction hall and the equipment consignment store standing in two imposing buildings, and the No. 1 shop between the two of them looked a little low and dilapidated.

The two NPC stores and Zeng Jun's No. 1 store are within a walled area, sharing a larger courtyard in front of the door, which has a unified name called "Kyushu Chamber of Commerce".

The Auction House is a place for wealthy people with large amounts of gold in their hands to find high-end gear, where they often spend a lot of money on a piece of equipment, and the nearby gear rush store is a haven for most players to find cheap gear.

Before coming here, Zeng Jun had already thought about dividing the first floor of his No. 1 store into two, about 1/3 of the area of the store was directly operated by himself to open a grocery store that mainly sells equipment and sold some other items, and the other 2/3 of the area was built into a lattice store, which set up about 10,000 lattices of reading power for rent, and after the player rented one of the grids here, it was equivalent to directly owning a small shop in the No. 1 store, if the use of the rented lattice was restricted, it could only be used to sell equipment, In this way, the No. 1 shop can be connected with the auction house and the NPC equipment consignment store, forming a large equipment trading business district in the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, attracting the majority of players to stop.

Zeng Jun opened the store management panel and began to get busy on it, buying counters to store goods, customizing special lattice cabinets for opening lattice stores to the system, and buying NPC clerks, etc., all of which required a lot of energy and gold coins.

After a sum of gold coins were spent like flowing water, the huge renovation project of the No. 1 store was finally completed, and Zeng Jun drafted a lease agreement and usage rules of the lattice store and submitted it to the system, and after a while, the system officially approved the information submitted by Zeng Jun.

When choosing a name for the store, Zeng Jun didn't think about it, so he set the name of the store, and the gold-lettered signboards of "No. 1 Grocery Store" and "No. 1 Grid Store" were immediately hung up after Zeng Jun's confirmation. The No. 1 store was originally the player store with the best location in the city, and it still can't be bought with money, and being able to become the owner of this store is a proof of glory and strength in itself, "No. 1" was originally synonymous with NB, why don't you have to think about other things with such a good store name?

After the signboard is hung up, the next step is to hire NPC clerks and sign up for business. Zeng Jun looked through the list of currently recruitable clerks provided by the system, and hired three NPCs to help take care of the store, one of the Golden Name NPCs was assigned to the No. 1 Grocery Store, due to the relatively large area of the No. 1 Grid Store, Zeng Jun assigned two NPCs to the No. 1 Grid Store, but the Golden Name NPCs have been hired by players almost, so the two NPCs of the No. 1 Grid are only purple-named, and their abilities are about 15% lower than the Gold Name NPCs.

After all this was arranged, Zeng Jun suddenly remembered the story of the two monks, if the two NPCs in the lattice shop were put on an equal footing, it would inevitably be possible to pass the buck to each other, so one of them must be appointed as the manager of the store, so that there should be no prevarication after the subordinate relationship between the upper and lower levels.

Zeng Jun compared the information of the two NPC store clerks, and finally decided to appoint the NPC who was relatively old, hardworking and loyal, but relatively low in ability and diplomacy as the store manager.

Zeng Jun found the option to be promoted to store manager under the NPC surname panel and then selected OK, so that the middle-aged uncle named Luke officially became the manager of this lattice shop.

"Dear employer, thank you for your trust in me, I will definitely work hard to run the store for you and make you a lot of money." After Luke was promoted to store manager, he immediately bowed deeply to Zeng Jun and said respectfully.

"Ding~!"

System Prompt: Successful appointment, Luke's loyalty +10.

I didn't expect that there would be such a benefit after promoting the store manager, so that Luke's loyalty has reached 90 after the loyalty is increased by 10, which is higher than the loyalty of some gold-named NPCs, so there should be no forks in the self-theft, "Well, do a good job, if you run well, I will give you salary increases and bonuses from time to time." Zeng Jun encouraged.

After some tossing, Zeng Jun not only spent all the gold coins he had saved, but also owed more than 50,000 gold coins to the History Changhe Studio, but as long as the operation of the No. 1 store can go up, I believe that this money will be earned back soon.

Now that the store has been established, but the shelves inside are empty and there are no goods, Zeng Jun went to the warehouse manager to move all the equipment he had accumulated for a period of time to the No. 1 grocery store to put on the shelves.

There are hundreds of pieces of equipment stored in Zeng Jun's warehouse, ranging from more than 40 to 70 levels, and it took several consecutive trips to finally move all the equipment. It seems that we have to find a way to get a larger backpack space, otherwise we will not tire people to death every time I do this, Zeng Jun thought to himself.

If all the hundreds of pieces of equipment are put on the shelves by himself, it is estimated that it will exhaust people to death, so Zeng Jun only picked some equipment with relatively high value and put it on the shelves, and the rest were all thrown to NPCs to get busy. However, Zeng Jun was still a little worried about the judgment ability of this NPC, and secretly checked the sales price of more than a dozen pieces of equipment after NPC pricing, and found that the price of those equipment on the shelves was similar to his own psychological price.

Then, Zeng Jun added all the five brothers in the same dormitory such as the Thirteen Swords of Chasing the Wind to the store manager, and directly set the highest authority for the five people, so that they could directly withdraw the funds and equipment in the store without Zeng Jun's confirmation. He still trusts these five brothers very much, they are all brothers who have gone through hardships together, if you don't trust them, who else can you trust?

After adding the five people to the administrator, Zeng Jun sent them a message one by one to inform them of the opening of the No. 1 store, and asked them to quickly bring the equipment in their hands and put it on the shelves. After these brothers entered the city of Tongtian, Zeng Jun entrusted them to the Three Kingdoms of Qin and Han, and the Three Kingdoms of Qin and Han directly arranged them to enter the elite hundred-member group of 100 people in the long history to level up with the group.

To say that the Thirteen Swords of Chasing the Wind (here in order to prevent confusion with Bing Lan, they will not be called the boss and directly call the game ID) and others are also competitive, knowing that they may be the worst skilled in that hundred-person group, so they usually work very hard, and they are stunned that they did not embarrass Zeng Jun and the Qin and Han Kingdoms, it is said that the mastermind behind the scenes is now the third-ranked priest in the hundred-person group, and the other four people have also won the praise of these elites in the long history through their own efforts.

After mixing with the 100-person elite group with the long history, the equipment of these guys has also been greatly improved with the improvement of the equipment level of the entire team, and there is no longer a need for Zeng Jun to spend money to buy equipment for them, although Zeng Jun usually has a lot of good equipment from monster farming, but because he generally crosses the level of 20 or more to challenge high-level monsters, the equipment level obtained from monster farming is too high, and they can't equip all of them.

It seems that there is still a need to advertise the store, Zeng Jun thought about it and spent 5000rmb to send a system shouting message: Friends of the city of Babel, the No. 1 store located between the auction hall and the equipment consignment store in the central square was officially opened today, the store is divided into two parts, of which the No. 1 grocery store mainly sells all kinds of medium and high grade equipment, the price is fair, and everyone is welcome to buy. In addition, the No. 1 lattice store is intended to provide a rare opportunity for the majority of aspiring young people who have entrepreneurial dreams but suffer from the scarcity of store resources in Tongtian City. Now, the 10,000 reading lattice space in the No. 1 store lattice store is officially rented to everyone, and the rent starts at 1000RMB per month, and the operating agreement and usage rules of the lattice store have been officially approved by the system. For only 1000RMB a month, you can have your own shop in the most prime location of Babel City, what are you waiting for? Hurry up, the number of places is limited, and it will be too late.

As soon as the announcement came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation among players, players directly threw the equipment into the equipment consignor for sale, and after the sale was successful, 10% of the transaction fee was deducted, and the items sold in the player's store only need to withhold 5% of the taxes stipulated by the state, and the 5% gap between the front and back can save a lot of money for those high-end players with large equipment transactions, so as soon as they received the news, they immediately stopped their work and hurried back to the city to rush to the No. 1 store, for fear that it would be too late and not be able to take their turn.

Even the best lattice space in the No. 1 lattice store is only 10000rm per month, the cheapest as Zeng Jun said in the advertisement, only 1000rmb, and 1000rmb is currently equivalent to less than 150 gold coins in the game, such a rent is still affordable by most players, so once the lattice store opens, all 10000 grids will be rented out by players in less than an hour. Even the Remnant Mirage, who was helping Zeng Jun with the task, sent a message to book a grid with a monthly rent of 10,000RMB.

Zeng Jun calculated that his No. 1 store alone could bring him 35.9 million RMB per month just by collecting rent, which is really a lot of money. At the same time, it also made him sigh: It's really good to be a landlord.

Author's note: If you don't understand the problem of the lattice store, you can ask Du Niang, and here I won't explain why a store can put so many lattices.
