Chapter 013: Profiteers from the 21st Century

The next morning, Chen Zhou woke up and first refilled himself with the French Ligue 1 that had dissipated overnight, and then explored his new home with peace of mind.

The first and second floors had been cleaned up last night, and this time the main target was the cellar in the small courtyard.

"Isn't it like a game to pop up with strange things, or hide secret passages to the city's sewers?"

……

No, Chen Zhou replied in his heart half an hour later.

It can be seen that the previous owner of the house was indeed very anxious, and did not even have time to carry away a small part of the wine in the cellar.

Ale, beer, cider and dwarven spirits are an unimaginable array of goodies.

And the more this is the case, the more curious Chen Zhou is about the reason.

Is it a feud, and soon someone will come to the tavern to find fault?

Is it a debt, and someone will come to collect the debt every day?

Or maybe the former tavern owner who died violently turned into a ghost wandering in the tavern......

This damn curiosity began to flare up again, and Chen Zhou secretly sighed that he hadn't really become a cat, so there was no need to use his imagination so much.

In any case, the Tigerman's strength and status as a spellcaster should be enough to make everyone who comes looking for trouble retreat.

It's better to be able to make money in harmony.

Trying to put his curiosity about the previous owner behind him, Chen Zhou picked up a bottle of dwarven liquor on the bar and played with it in his hand.

"Distilled spirits, glass bottles, steam magic machines, the technology here is a little more advanced than I thought, probably between the Renaissance and the Victorian period."

And then because of the magic, the tech tree is a little off.

If he lives long enough, maybe he can expect to see things like the Internet and mobile phones in this life.

It's a pity that the vast majority of professionals don't improve their physical fitness and longevity with employment and advancement, if there is no accident, Chen Zhou's age in this life is probably only about fifty years.

If you get involved in strife and major events, your life expectancy, which is already insufficient, will probably be drastically shortened.

It's good to make money in the first half of your life and enjoy it in the second half of your life.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhou focused his mind on the cloudy glass bottle in his palm.

Known as the "Spirit", this dwarven spirit is extremely hot, a high-concentration alcohol that ignites the fire, and is produced by the Northland Glacier Dwarves.

There is a vodka beauty.

Due to its unique taste, it is usually not drunk directly, but is mixed with water and used as an ingredient in concoctions.

However, the dwarves basically drank directly, and on the Obsidian, Chen Zhou was fortunate to be tricked by Dara into taking a sip, and it was as spicy and painful as swallowing fire on the spot, and he couldn't get out of bed for more than half an hour.

This body doesn't seem to be well suited to eating foods that are too stimulating...... It's not that it's a health hazard, after all, tiger people aren't really tigers.

The main reason is that the senses are too sensitive, which leads to the amplification of various tastes and feelings, and although the tolerance is also strengthened by the superior physique, to be honest, Chen Zhou is not very spicy.

Although the province of Urchon is also a province with large chili peppers, his taste is generally on the salty side.

Then again.

In order to be able to live a stable life instead of going out on adventures, Chen Zhou needs to use his magic to process the fire wine in his hands.

I saw him commanding in a resounding voice to the wine bottle: "The imperial decree that the aurora will circulate in the eternal bottle." ”

In the next moment, some supernatural energy was released along the contact of his limbs, and Chen Zhou's will was forced to arrange on his own, and a spell called "Light Technique" took shape, turning into a brilliant aurora dancing lightly and elegantly among the spirits in the bottle.

The magic of the warlock is so casual, the spell can be thought of casually, the action is almost the same, and the effect depends on your own will and the origin of the spell.

There is a sense of "I am thinking".

But how far you can do it depends on the supernatural power (charisma) of the warlock.

It is not the Warlock who unleashes the "Light Spell", but the effect caused by the Warlock is called the "Light Spell......

It is an empirical technique.

In the case of a poet's spell, it is a song, a specific melody and a special emotion;

If it is a pastor, it will be a prayer, a sentence from the scriptures, or a prayer to the gods;

When a druid casts a spell, he uses the inherited druid language to channel the forces of nature;

Psychic Warlock...... Oh, and the ability is a mental activity that doesn't require any spells, poses, or material components;

As for the occasion of the mage, it is often a specific spell and posture that is known after continuous calculation and reasoning.

In general, different casters have their own actions, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.

Chen Zhou decided not to engage in the argument about the superiority of the caster.

The Warlock is done with a sneaky cool.

After casting the spell, he shook the bottle in his hand.

This light, which adds elements of light and cold, will remain in the bottle for the duration of the bottle, keeping it cold while the streamer dances.

Then he poured the wine into the wooden cup, and the power of the magic was diverted, and the same light bloomed in the cup.

What does it taste...... He didn't try, but it shouldn't make a difference.

It's just a change in appearance.

But as a person from modern society, Chen Zhou knows well that in addition to product quality and brand awareness and reputation, it will be sought after.

The added value brought by marketing can also make the price of the product increase!

The wine is still the same wine, the taste is still the same, but it has become more beautiful.

No, it's not just pretty!

After adding the cold and aurora of midnight in the Northland with the Illumination Technique, this glass of fire wine, also produced by the hands of the Northland Glacier Dwarves, has a new cultural connotation!

How can a bottle go up to 1 gold coin...... No, 3 gold, right?

"As long as you can ensure that you don't get plagiarized, and then you can starve for marketing by reducing production......"

Chen Zhou felt as if he was not a tiger man, but a lucky cat man!

Just when someone from modern society is about to turn from a warlock to a profiteer, and seriously codify the cultural connotation of the wine with special effects-

"I haven't seen you for half a year, why is the old cat tavern so dilapidated?"

Suddenly, a low, familiar voice walked into the store.

Chen Zhou subconsciously turned around and said, "The previous boss is gone, and I am the new boss." Recently, I bought a batch of Aurora Ice and Fire Wine from the Northland, would you like a bottle? ”

"What Aurora Ice Fire Wine." An invisible voice came from under the bar, "Why haven't I heard of it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Zhou and the owner of the voice recognized each other.

"Tom, how did you become the owner of this tavern?"

"Didn't your Eight Kings Chamber of Commerce go back to the dwarf kingdom, and you dwarven prince won't go back?"

But it was Darla, a hill dwarf who claimed to be a prince, who happened to walk into the tavern.

As an exiled prince, he is certainly not entitled to return to his homeland.

"Don't talk about that, bring me a bottle of wine you just mentioned!"
