Chapter 119: Cat Grid
Up to now, Zheng Qing's business scope for D&K is limited to four aspects: Fu Gong sales, medicine sales, live mouse sales, and low-cost purchasing in wandering bars.
This is not just because of the business license - the Federation of Industry and Commerce in Beta Town has clear restrictions on the business scope of each store, and those who operate outside the prescribed scope are likely to receive fines or even be required to suspend business for rectification, and the Crime Hunting Team currently only applies for a license for a trading company, so they can only do some hand-over business - but the main reason for restricting the business scope of Zheng Qing and others is the problem of ability.
Or rather, a matter of professionalism.
For a long time, it has carved deep traces on the bluestone pavement of Beta Town Pedestrian Street, and also left one after another shops with deep qualifications, superb professionalism and strong reputation on both sides of the street.
For example, the Hook Brothers watch shop, which is famous for making various clocks inside and outside the island, claims to be able to 'cross the time', which means that even if the watches they sell leave the earth and go to other new worlds, the accuracy and timing of the clocks will not be affected.
Another example is the Green grocery store, which is known for its small profits and rich products, which is claimed to be only found in the wizarding world, and cannot be bought in no store - from quill pens, rice paper, dansha, Hui ink and other stationery, to bundles of standard talismans, various types of crucibles, knives, silkworm skin gloves, and even unopened peach charms, swords made of lightning strike wood, voodoo dolls, human skin thangkas, etc., but all kinds of useful things that can be seen on the market can be found in this grocery store.
In addition, Fitzer Potions Company has opened a pharmacy on Walking Street, Sam's Chase has opened a branch on Walking Street, Ummus-Yuexia Airlines also has a ticket office on Walking Street, as well as Shangyuan Bookstore that sells law books, Sanwei Bookstore that sells textbooks and other magic books, Green Spinning and Yun Xiangyi that sell clothing, The shepherd's store that sells jewelry, the Apple Pavilion that sells gifts, the mirror paintings that sells cosmetics, and even Nina's company, which is mainly engaged in the perfume business, did not let go of this pedestrian street, which is somewhat famous in the entire wizarding world, and opened counters in several cosmetics stores on the street.
And that's not even counting the various restaurants, bars, food streets, and other places that involve eating and drinking.
It can be said that the new store that the Crime Hunter Team intends to open does not have the confidence and ability to compete fairly with other large and small merchants on the street - fortunately, the purpose of their store is not to do business, so the pressure on everyone has suddenly decreased a lot.
That being said, if there is a chance to grab a few bites of fat meat surrounded by wolves, the young wizards of the Sin Hunting Team will not be intimidated.
It's like the idea that Zheng Qing and others are currently fighting.
The early resurgence of the Silent Forest was not news in Beta, and the low-ranking wizards and magicians in the northern part of the town who had been venturing into the woods for years had already announced to the town's merchants with blood that the ruckaging forest was becoming more and more dangerous.
Although the merchants' attention also noticed the opportunities brought by the danger, they were more concerned about the cheaper magic materials that flowed out of the forest, as well as the beast tide that might come at any time, and few merchants would notice the impact of this resurgence on First University in advance.
In other words, no one thinks that the return of silence will have any effect on the first university.
So, when First University gave the students the task of cleaning up rats, spiders, corpse-eating beetles, and other small creatures, the town of Beta didn't react much.
On the one hand, this is a task issued by the school, and it is also related to the evaluation of students, and the merchants on the street do not know whether these tasks will involve some sensitive points of school management, so they will not gamble on their signboards and jade coins for the profit of some small mice and insects.
On the other hand, the current market is a little nervous, and the stores that can afford it are trying to stock up on the coming storm, and the stores that are not able are wrapped in quilts and shrunk in their own small shops.
So when D&K started hoarding rats and planning to make a small profit, there was no second competitor on the street to compete with them for the tasteless chicken ribs.
"Our goal is to make Jiuyou School free of mice!" "The black cat stood in front of the group of cats, waving his paws, and delivered an impassioned speech:
"Our vision is to let every student in Jiuyou Academy buy mice from our store!"
"Our future will not be limited to the Nine Haves Academy, but to these rats! We will spread out a sales network throughout the First University, selling eight-eyed spiders, selling corpse beetles, and selling red chain snakes!"
"We are the greatest meow of our time!"
"Meow meow meow !!" A large group of cats in front of the black cat don't know if they understand the leader's howl, but they still raise their paws very politely, slap hard, and make an approved meow at the same time.
The foxes who were watching next to them also mixed in with the cats at some point, and they also bounced and jumped, flicking their tails everywhere, screaming and screaming, and the scene was particularly enthusiastic for a while.
Xiao Xiao turned around silently, turned his back to the group of small animals behind him, and stared at the branch of a catalpa tree in front of him without saying a word, as if he wanted to see a flower from above.
But Lin Guo and Jingle Ears watched with relish.
"I thought the captain was just relying on force to help him catch mice!" the little wizard praised, and his words were full of praise for his captain: "I didn't expect him to use his own personality charm!
"Cat Ge charm, cat Ge!" the clothed mouse Jun corrected next to him: "He's a cat, not a human!"
Lin Guo ignored the little mouse's words, but continued to sigh: "This is probably the leadership style that professors often tell us, the general's measure...... It's really extraordinary!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao, who had been facing away from them and staring at Catalpa in a daze, finally couldn't help it, turned his head, and said to the little wizard angrily: "I always think you have misunderstood something......
"Gah?" Lin Guo tilted his head and looked at Xiao Xiao with a blank expression.
"The reason why those cats obediently catch mice is that the cat that catches the mouse can get the 'fitness pill' configured by Xin Fatzi, ten mice for one pill, this kind of pill can improve physical function very limitedly...... There is no small temptation to them. ”
"As for the charm of the cat personality you talked about...... Do you think the cat below can understand the bunch of nonsense he said earlier?" Xiao Xiao stretched out his finger and pointed at the black cat, gesturing, and emphasized: "Have you forgotten how we communicated with these cats before?
"Hmm. Lin Guo hugged his chest with one hand, pinched his chin with the other, and thought thoughtfully: "Yes, the communication was really not smooth before......
