Speaking of which, the Qiao's supermarket run by Morris is also a strange place. Why build a large supermarket of several hundred square meters in a small town with only a few dozen people? Anyway, Nan Xiao can't understand it. Often, there are only one or two people in the supermarket, and they don't necessarily buy anything. Calculating the cost, I am afraid that the daily electricity bill is not enough.

However, Morris was not worried about the appearance of losses at all. I have never seen him worry about his performance, but his face is full of red light and he is very enthusiastic.

Nan Xiao once went shopping, but was stopped by Morris as soon as he entered the door. "You're finally here. I said, I can do you a big favor! Of course, you have to do me a small favor too. Then he enthusiastically took out an application form for Qiaojia Supermarket membership and urged him to join.

"Join Qiaojia Supermarket members? What are the benefits? ”

"There are so many benefits!" Morris swore that "as long as you agree to join the Joe's Supermarket membership, we will fund Pelican Town!" For example, repairing minecarts, repairing bridges, repairing bus stops, and so on. Also, we can also fund the reconstruction of the greenhouse on your farm! ”

"Why?" Nan Xiaohu stared at Morris suspiciously.

"Of course, it's for the friendship of Qiaojia Supermarket and the people of Pelican Town!"

"Do you think I look like a three-year-old?"

Morris shrugged, "Well, actually. I made an agreement with Mayor Lewis that as long as I could develop a townsman to become a member of the Qiao family, he would sell the abandoned community center in town to the Qiao family to serve as our company's warehouse. ”

Haunted community center, what does Morris want to do with it?

After spending some time in Pelican Town, Nan Xiaopo heard some stories. The haunting of the community center is a constant topic of conversation in the bar almost every night. The kid of so-and-so (usually Vincent, the son of housewife Jody) goes on an adventure again, and is scared by the ghost and runs around or something.

Qiaojia Supermarket wanted to buy that haunted community center, not just to be a warehouse.

If you think about it with your thumb, this supermarket doesn't need a warehouse at all.

Business is so bad, now there are enough on the shelves to sell, where is the need for a large warehouse covering an area of several hundred square meters. It's not like that's how money burns.

Looking at Morris's appearance, he really wanted to get the plot of land in the community center. To this end, he was willing to promise all kinds of benefits: building bridges and roads, and repairing greenhouses for himself.

So a shrewd person would do a loss-making business?

The only possibility is that there must be something in the community center that he really wants.

But what does this have to do with me? For a little petty profit, he was used as a gun by Morris, and he was on a frontal bargain with Mayor Lewis? I'm not that stupid.

After making up his mind to reach the full level of fishing, Nan Xiao refused: "I won't do it." There are so many people in the town, you can find someone else. ”

Morris's business smile was a little stiff. "Why don't you agree?" He lowered his face, "Those townsfolk are used to listening to the mayor. Even if Lewis pointed to a donkey and said it was a rabbit, they would only nod. You've just been in Pelican Town for a short time, what's wrong with you? Sign it and get a valuable Qiao family membership, and there is no loss to you. Why don't you agree? ”

Why don't I agree? It has nothing to do with you.

Nan Xiao didn't want to explain at all, so he smiled and said, "Of course I have my own reasons. ”

Morris was probably unwilling, and said: "Don't be fooled by the mayor, calm down, and take care of the overall situation." I'll tell you the truth, there's a problem with Pelican Town, and I'm secretly investigating. You're a foreigner, and you're not related to the rest of the town, so why are you protecting them? You'd better be cooperative, it's your obligation. Don't you know that our homeland is facing a war? As a citizen, don't you feel like you should make a contribution? Besides, the conditions are already very generous, think about how much a greenhouse is worth......"

I'll go, this guy used to sell insurance, and he talked nonsense. The stubbornness that doesn't stop until the goal is not reached, it's really head-catching.

It seems that delaying tactics have to be resorted. Nan Xiao looked at no one on the left and right, pinched his thumb with his index finger, and made an international gesture.

Morris was overjoyed: "You agreed?" ”

"What agreed," Nan Xiao raised his hand and waved in front of him, "Don't you understand?" Gotta add money! ”

“…… How much do you want? ”

"In this case, you first lend me 10,000 gold coins of the Republic of Vangil, without interest, for six months. When the money is due, I will consider signing as a member of the Qiao family. ”

"Ten thousand gold coins? Six months? No interest yet? ”

Morris was obviously a miser, and when he heard that he was going to lend 10,000 gold coins for free, he felt a little painful.

However, Nan Xiao was sure that he would definitely give in. Obviously, no one else in the town is willing to sign an agreement with him, and this is my own business. The offer of 10,000 gold coins is already very polite.

Fishing is already level 8, and if you are two levels old, you will be a fishing master, and you will leave this bullshit Star Dew Valley. With a top-of-the-line iridium rod bought from a fish shop, every rod is sure to hit, and the experience points rise rapidly. In order to prevent the catch from getting full early, he hasn't been fishing much hard lately. With such a fast speed, why does it take six months? In a few more weeks, Nan Xiao is confident that he can catch it with his eyes closed.

When the time comes, the ass is slapped back to the Overworld. Mr. Morris, just wait for me to sign.

Sure enough, Morris hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed to borrow money.

I took 10,000 gold coins for nothing, and I was happy.

When he turned around before going out, the corner of his eye swept over, and it seemed that someone was secretly observing him.

A heart immediately hung up. He looked back quietly and found that it was Marnie's nephew, Shane, an older decadent young man who had been drunk in a bar. Today, Shane wore the uniform of Qiao's employees, pretending to stand next to him and tidy up the shelves.

Suddenly meeting Nan Xiao's gaze, Xie En panicked and touched the cans all over the ground.

Why is this person spying on me? Is he the mayor's undercover agent at Qiao's supermarket? Or Morris's dog?

Either way, it's not a good thing anyway.

A few days later, Nan Xiao discovered that Morris was really secretly spying on him.

This guy is very disgraceful. When I came back from a night of fishing, I saw him slipping away in a daze. At the time, it felt wrong. Sneaky, what do you want to do? When I looked over, sure enough, there was a camera installed in the bushes on the side of the road. It's near the gate of the farm, against the side of the road, and you will be photographed when you enter and exit.

Hmph, Nan Xiao sneered twice.

The camera, of course, can't be kept. Pretend to weed, click, and slash it with a scythe.

I weed on my own farm, which makes sense and logic, right?

After a few more days, Mayor Lewis suddenly came to the door: "Nanxiao, come with me to see the community center." ”

"To the community center?"

Nan Xiao instinctively prevaricated and said, "Unfortunately, you see that things on the farm are busy today, why don't you change the day?" ”

Lewis smiled incomprehensibly: "I can also get 10,000 gold coins." ”

Nan Xiao chuckled in his heart: Does the old man know about me and Morris? Why is this old guy so well-informed? Thinking of Shane's abnormal performance that day, Nan Xiao thought that the older decadent young man was most likely an undercover agent of the mayor.

I'm going, and I'm going to have some skills. He had a secret conversation with Morris in the supermarket manager's office, and he was also discovered. Shane was sorting out the shelves on the other side of the supermarket, how did he overhear it?

Faced with the mayor's mask-like smirk, Nan Xiao realized that he was threatened.
