CHAPTER XXII

"It's been a long time, and it seems that the old store can live up to its name. ”

Looking at Mimi's inheritance of the store from its establishment to the present for more than a thousand years, Wang Hui couldn't help but sincerely salute him, it is not easy to go around and survive in a turbulent environment.

"But I'm asking about the legend of the name of the store, but you haven't told me yet?"

"That's right," Mimi Elf came back to his senses and immersed himself in the past store records, forgetting the question at the beginning.

"My shop wasn't actually a Juewei store in the first place, and the name has been used for less than 300 years. ”

"In other words, at the earliest, it was another year of the outbreak of the Alien Beast Tide, and this neighborhood was no exception to the time when it began to migrate and hide.

After all, we are only a neighborhood that has developed because of traffic, but during the Strange Beast Tide, the traffic is jammed and the flow of people is cut off, and there must be no business, so the roads in that block are full of people who leave in a hurry.

The daily evacuation convoy was densely packed, and the neighborhood was immediately empty, and the smell of emptiness made people more and more irritated.

However, no matter which neighborhood there is a gap between the rich and the poor, those who are rich can get ready early and leave early, and naturally there is also a time to rush to the end of the situation in the hope of earning enough windfall profits that are not usually available. ”

Mimi's simple and cruel description of the street scene that is repeating every year makes Wang Hui feel a lot, if he has no strength, he can only endure this annual elimination mechanism.

Don't think that those who are behind the normal evacuation time will come to the upper level of the rescue, Wang Hui can tell you that it is too much thinking, in fact, the construction of a defensive circle against the tide of alien beasts and supporting facilities for the entire block can be said to be a drop in the bucket for the management of the two major departments of the entire Blue Illusion Star.

Even if there are not many defensive circles built for all the existing blocks, if the plan is good and a part of the construction plan is implemented every year, then Blue Illusion Star has realized the ability to defend all blocks against the tide of alien beasts thousands of years ago.

But in fact, only a little more than 70% of the neighborhoods have a complete defensive array and complete sets of defense facilities, which can independently defend against the alien beast tide, while the other neighborhoods can only migrate or silently endure the alien beast tide year after year.

As a result, there are neighborhoods that are dying out silently, but at the same time, new neighborhoods are emerging, and these neighborhoods are due to the discovery of new resource points nearby, or the fact that they are located on traffic arteries like the neighborhoods where Wang Hui is now staying.

And these new blocks are not directly managed by the two major departments, which is the core reason why there is no defensive circle, not to say that there is no direct management and no tax, but because of the occupation of resources and transportation arteries, the original part of the tax has become a bubble, which has led to the rise and disappearance of many neighborhoods are so fast.

The block at Wang Hui's feet was not abandoned because it supported the defense line of the border, and it remained for a long time.

Although there are naturally wealthy people in the block who can buy defensive circles independently, these constructions need to be reviewed by the two major departments of Blue Phantom Star, otherwise they are suspected of self-reliance, and it is said that they are rebelling when put into the two departments, so everyone in the block can only move once a year, and they can only hope for settlement forever.

Back to that, at that time, Mimi's store was about to close down and go bankrupt because of poor management, and she had to take advantage of the fact that the entire neighborhood was busy evacuating and unable to operate normally, and opened the store to earn more than 100 times the price of meals.

This is also the default rule of the block, just like the leftovers of the strong giving to the weak, the people with strong power take the lead in withdrawing from the block, leaving the weak to fight for the last bite of survival capital, and in the end, the weak who can't even grab a little capital will naturally be swallowed by the tide of strange beasts.

Because those people don't even have the ability to leave, and Mimi's store will be in that state, hurry up and get the ability to leave at the last moment, but just like opportunity, it also means danger, and there is more than one store in the block in this state, and there are at least four of them on the street where Mimi's store is in the same environment.

Because the year before, the border defense line of the military department was greatly defeated, and in order to ensure the follow-up of the force, the consumption quota of the border defense was greatly reduced, resulting in a sharp decline in the transaction volume of the neighborhood that year, the lack of foreign capital to enter, and the neighborhood was also full of sudden situations.

In the end, the fierce competition made it impossible to raise the price too much, and Mimi's store was already on the verge of despair, and there were still three days before the last evacuation team, and the gold prepared by the store was still not enough to cover everyone's expenses.

The legend was born, and it was the same night, in order to save gold coins, the store had to continue to stay open all night, and against the backdrop of the empty and lonely neighborhood outside, the light of the store was like an undulating lamp, and the next second it would be completely extinguished in the dark.

Mimi elf slowly told the legend of the long past, Wang Hui'an listened quietly, in her story, as the usual theme, the family of the shop on the verge of desperation met a group of people of unknown origin in the middle of the night.

Not only did the gang spend a lot of money in the store that night, but they also drank all the wine in the store with all the high-priced food under the shouts of the customers, and then they only continued to serve more food, and the gang ate all the food in the store like a bottomless pit, and continued to drink all the wine in stock with no happiness at all.

Waiting for the next morning, the family came back to their senses, only to find that all the food and wine in the store were gone, and even some of the feed in stock was also swept away.

However, the stacks of gold coins on the counter also allowed the family to completely survive this crisis, especially after surviving the tide of strange beasts and then migrating back, completely swallowing up the other four restaurants on the same street to become bigger.

This is the grand occasion that Wang Hui sees now, and although the head of the store at that time can't recall the appearance of the group, he then cleaned up the chair and found a broken piece of paper, which was smeared and torn, and he could only barely see the words "taste".

On the occasion of the follow-up turn to open the store, the family at that time simply named Juewei Store to represent this strange and wealthy opportunity, not to mention whether he relied on this legend to promote the meaning of the store, at least the store has been open steadily for almost two hundred years, living up to the ancestors.
