97 Betatown Pedestrian Street, where the 'D&K' store is located.

As the most prosperous commercial street in Beta, or the most prosperous commercial street on Phuket Island, the pedestrian street is home to hundreds of shops of different sizes and reputations.

Famous companies such as Martin Childcare Alchemy's office in Beta, or Fitzer Magic Apothecary's First University branch, or Grimm's grocery store, which specializes in department store wholesale—these companies are famous not only in Phuket, in the wizarding world, but even in the multiverse.

Lesser-known are Meow Meow Dessert Shop, which is located next to Shuangtang Kee, and Ding Ding Finance and Pest Control Company, which is holding its opening ceremony - these shops are either not very old or have not officially opened, although they are all on the same street as those famous shop companies, but passers-by's eyes often slip over their signs and fall on other more famous shops.

It must be admitted that as a newly opened store, the name 'Ding Ding Financial and Pest Control Company' is a little awkward. While the signature 'D&K' has tried to simplify the complexity of the original name, it's hard to say what impression Dai-ichi students had of the new company — if anything, D&K's impression might have come from D&K's neighbor, the Wandering Bar.

Yes, D&K's location is located diagonally across from the Wanderlust Bar.

When decorating the shop, Zheng Qing once tried: if he stood behind the shop window, he could clearly see every wizard who entered and exited the wandering bar, saw the runes embroidered on their robes, and sometimes could see the pink tongue popped out by the watchman frog in the wandering bar.

This is not a good thing.

Because the wizarding world, like the rest of the multiverse, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes.

Originally, Zheng Qing didn't want to rent this shop.

However, on the one hand, the budget of the hunting team is very limited - excluding other expenses such as stocking and decoration, they are left with less than fifty jade coins for rent. If you are in the North or South of Beta Town, fifty jade coins can buy a mansion with a separate garden, and even in the west or east of Beta Town, fifty jade coins can rent a spacious storefront.

But this is a pedestrian street.

This is the busiest commercial street of First University.

In this business district, fifty jade coins were thrown in, and not even a sound could be heard.

It is also close to the gray bazaar of the wandering bar, which is famous for its reputation, and there are many unscrupulous wizards who come and go, and there are often 'magic rampage incidents', causing the rent of a small area around the bar to form a collapse on this street. It gave the Sin Hunting Team a chance to pick up leaks that can't be called 'leaks'.

As for another reason why Zheng Qing finally decided to rent this shop, it was because of the shop at No. 99 Pedestrian Street, which is only one shop away from No. 97 Pedestrian Street.

The signboard of this shop is Sanari Shoya.

That's right, it is Zheng Qing who has copied the post in the Li for more than ten years, and Mr. Wu opened the Sanyou Book House in Yunhua Community. The name is exactly the same.

Because the façade of shop No. 99 is a little concave, and because it has not been opened for a long time and the signboard is full of dust, the young public scholarship students did not notice what the name of shop No. 99 was.

When the young wizards of the Sin Hunting Team stood outside the shop to discuss whether to rent the shop, their discussion alarmed the owner of shop No. 98, Ki Akiko - located between D&K and Sanyou Shoya, is a shop that sells all kinds of strange amulets as its main business, and the name of the shop is the same as the name of the shopkeeper, which is called 'Ki Akiko', but I don't know if it is because the owner of this shop sells amber amulets, or because the shopkeeper's name is Mu Akiko.

Anyway, when the young wizards and the agent were engaged in heated and tense negotiations over the rent and lease outside the 97th shop, the shopkeeper Mu Mingzi pushed open the window of Mu Mingzi's shop, poked his head out, and shouted at the agent with the sharp beak and monkey cheeks:

"Granny Crystal has said that none of the shops around the wandering bar are suitable for business...... Anyway, you're also an old man in the town, why are you lying to these young dolls?!"

Zheng Qing, the crystal mother-in-law, knew that it was the nickname of the shop owner at No. 96 on the Walking Street, that is, the shop owner on the left-hand side of the shop that Zheng Qing planned to rent.

Shop 96 is a divination shop, and the owner is said to be a very skilled psychic medium, with a high level of attainment in crystal ball divination, and many girls who believe in old-school divination like to come to this shop on weekends.

After hearing Ki Mingzi's warning, the young wizards were shocked, and subconsciously took a step back, as if they were already planning to give up the signing.

The intermediary was in a hurry.

"Granny Crystal curses her guests to death every day...... But the mortality rate in Beta has never been that high, hahahaha. The slightly hunchbacked intermediary snorted, looked nervously at several young wizards, and breathed a sigh of relief: "If you are sincere in asking for rent, I can push the annual rent to sixty-five jade coins." ”

Originally, he planned to ask for the rent of seventy jade coins, but with the interference of Mu Mingzi, Mr. Intermediary decided to cut through the mess quickly and rent out the shop first. It's easy to meet a few stupid young people, and you must not let them run away.

"If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the Sanyou Book House next to me. Noticing the hesitation of the young wizards, Ki Mingzi shouted again, "...... Because it was opened near the wandering bar, the business was so bad that only the spider was willing to patronize this shop. ”

"Sanyou Bookstore?!" Zheng Qing was stunned, turned his head vigorously, and looked at the signboard of the store.

Sure enough, through the thick dirt and dust, you can still vaguely make out a few big characters of Sanyou Study.

He walked a few steps and came to the window of the bookstore - as expected, like the Sanyou Book House in Daming Fang, there was also a dead silence in this Sanyou Book House. Except for a few empty bookshelves, there are only criss-crossing cobwebs and small spiders crawling on the web.

"Forty jade coins. Zheng Qing turned his head and looked at the intermediary: "The annual rent is forty jade coins, and we will rent it...... And I'll sign you a four-year long-term contract!"

"Forty-five, I guarantee that the annual rent will not increase by more than five percent!" The agent hesitated for a moment and immediately offered new conditions.

"Deal!" Zheng Qing stretched out his hand and shook it heavily with the intermediary.

The other wizards of the Sin Hunting Team all noticed the serious expression of the public scholarship student and remained silent. Instead, Ki Mingzi cursed in a low voice, 'I don't know the hearts of good people', retracted her head, and slammed the window of the store shut.
