Chapter XVIII Maps
To the west of the city, the once-dilapidated residential area has disappeared and been replaced by an entire commercial district. This commercial area was established by the people sent by the Water and Fire City, so it is called the Water and Fire Commercial District
The tallest building in the business district is a seven-storey luxury building, which is the chamber of commerce in this business district, the Chamber of Commerce of Water and Fire. Yan, the son of the city lord of Fire and Water City, was ordered to come here and serve as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, intending to open up the situation in Luosha City.
At first, Yan, who was the president, knew that this would not be an easy task, even if they were invited here by the City Lord's Mansion in Raksha City. In the first month, it was difficult to supply goods, so it was not possible to carry out opening promotions.
At this time, the various industries under the name of Xiang Shao, under the banner of welcome, carried out preferential activities, and constantly squeezed and oppressed the living space of the new business district.
Yan, who served as the president, even had the idea of giving up, and looking at the situation, this is a bottomless pit that will never be filled.
Soon after the dismal business, Yan finally saw a turnaround, Luo Sha City began to build the road to the border, after he saw the direction of the road, he had a guess in his heart, and a few days later, the acting city governor asked him to come to the door.
After that, Yan gained confidence and actively contacted the City of Water and Fire to facilitate the construction of the road, and after three or four months of waiting, the entire road was finally opened, and a large amount of supplies were transported from the City of Water and Fire.
Yan also looked for a name and started preferential activities to attract customer traffic, just enough to fight against the forces of Xiang Shao. The only fly in the ointment is that the roads are not completely safe, especially the section of the road built by Water and Fire City, which adds a little cost. If it weren't for that, Yan, who had more help, was sure to completely compete with Xiang Shao, and even relied on strong capital to open up his own raw material supply base in Luosha City.
Today's status quo has created a relatively balanced situation, Xiang Shao is no longer in a monopoly position, and Yan relies on the material support of the water and fire city to successfully occupy the three-percent market. The shops under the name of the City Lord's Mansion have quietly developed and are tepid.
At the same time, in a small courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Xingchen tasted a glass of wine alone, looked at the slowly falling red sun, and sighed: "The real drama has just begun. As he spoke, he got up and left the small courtyard where he lived, and went directly to a slightly smaller courtyard a hundred meters away, and walked directly into it.
At this time, in the small courtyard, two young men were drinking, one of them was tall and strong, it was Xing, and the other was a builder Jianliang although he was short, but his face was very spirited.
When the two saw Xingchen coming to the courtyard, they hurriedly stopped, and at the same time got up to salute, "I've seen Uncle Luo." "I've seen Lord Luo. ”
Xingchen just walked over and sat down, and waved his hand, "Sit down, I have something to arrange today." ”
The two hurriedly sat down, and Xing took the lead in asking, "Uncle Luo, do you have any arrangements to call me directly, why do you have to come in person." ”
Xingchen smiled, "It's good to take a walk." Saying that, he looked at Jianliang, "The breathing is stable, the qi and blood have also returned to the normal level, and the energy fluctuations are also good." Jianliang, it seems that you will soon achieve the innate body. ”
Jian Liang was a little stunned for a moment, his body has indeed been recovering rapidly recently, but after his cultivation has soared for a while, there has been no change for two months, and he thought it was the bane left by the source phagocy, and it turned out that he was about to advance.
Xing Ze on the side was elated, "Great, when Jianliang is promoted, my burden will be much easier." He said and looked at Xingchen again, "Uncle Luo, do you have a way to make Jianliang advance steadily?"
Xingchen nodded, "Yes, Jianliang has already hurt the root because of his previous encounter, if he continues to cultivate like this, the day of promotion will be the time of death." He looked at the worried expressions of the two and smiled, "That's what I'm here for." ”
Xing immediately answered, "Uncle Luo, you just command." ”
Xingchen then said: "In Jianliang's case, he only needs to take rare spiritual materials that replenish the power of the soul, and of course he also needs to replenish the qi and blood spiritual materials, but unfortunately there is no inventory in the City Lord's Mansion, and there is no way to collect them in a short period of time." That's when we need to come to our door. ”
Xing was suddenly confused, "How can things come to the door by themselves?" Could it be that Uncle Luo meant open bidding. ”
Xingchen sighed, "Never make what you desperately need public, it will be a gap for your opponent to hit you." I mean auctions, using auctions to hide our true purpose. ”
Xing's eyes rolled, and his head raced, "I understand, Uncle Luo wants me to hold an auction, the more Hongda the scale, the more likely it is to attract what we need." ”
People have the mentality that if they get a good thing, they don't need it, they won't throw it away, and if they hear that they can sell it for a high price, they will travel thousands of miles to their destination. The larger the auction and the more people participate, the more people will come to auction their good things.
But Xing still has doubts, "First, the auction house under my name doesn't have many good things, and second, it may not be able to attract the things that are needed." After all, that kind of thing is hard to come by. ”
Xingchen smiled slightly, "It's still Xing who is smarter, and you don't need to worry about good things." As for whether the things you need will come, it depends on whether Jianliang has the blessing. Xing, Jianliang, you should immediately rebuild the Rasha Auction House now, the scale can remain the same, but the defensive performance must be strengthened. Besides, Xing, you need to do one more thing, find me a map of the Star Luo Kingdom. ”
Xing answered, "What are the requirements for the map?"
Xingchen stood up and looked at the last of the afterglow, "Ruins, the more detailed the marking, the better." ”
Xing was suddenly in trouble, but he still agreed. Because there are very few maps about the ruins, even the library of the castle lord's mansion is not archived.
And after Xingchen finished explaining, he left directly.
The next day, a person came to the small courtyard held by Xingchen, Xiaolan, who was exquisite, outstanding, gentle and elegant, and the wife of General Tiger.
After Xiao Lan entered the small courtyard, she smiled slightly, "Xiao Luo, sister, I have been busy with the competition dungeon recently, and I haven't come to see you, Ah Hu, they are not in the city, you won't blame us!"
Xingchen also smiled, "It's nothing, this is what we agreed to at the beginning." Did you bring something?"
Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh a little, stepped forward and put a jade slip on the table, "It's still the same, you're too smart, so smart that you can't do a few words of greeting." ”
Xingchen picked up the jade slip and glanced at it, and after confirming that it was what he needed, he smiled, "Sister Lan, although you and I are not related by blood, there is not much difference between us and our brothers and sisters, and the greetings are rusty." It's just that I didn't expect that that kid Xing would be able to invite you in order to complete the task I gave him. ”
Xiaolan sat at the stone table and said with a smile: "You just pretend, can you guess who has a map in this Luosha City?"
Xingchen just smiled and didn't speak, he did guess that only Xiao Lan Xiaozi and Xiang Shao, who were born in a big family, might have what he needed, but he didn't want to appear around the competitive dungeon in advance.
The competitive dungeons were all built by the lord of the Star Luo Kingdom, and even the host Xiaolan didn't know what the functions were. In order to prevent his strength from being exposed, Xingchen did not go.
Seeing that Xingchen didn't speak, Xiaolan casually asked, "Do you want this map to be the treasures in the ruins?"
Xingchen nodded, "I do have this plan. ”
Xiao Lan showed a look of surprise, "Then I'll go with you!" As soon as these words came out, Xingchen's complexion changed slightly, and Xiao Lan also realized that she had lost her words, so she added, "Jian is already a saint-level powerhouse, likes to fight, and just happens to be able to walk with us." ”
Xingchen responded at this time, "That's not bad, I can also listen to the story of you and Fat Tiger along the way." ”
So an itinerary was set in this small courtyard, and Jane, who was being piggybacked, did not know that she was about to set off on an adventure, let alone the importance of her role.
Three days later, in an underground ruin, more than a dozen teams were searching for each other.
The ruins were the ruins of a city that had fallen and destroyed in ancient times, and suddenly, the peaceful ruins were shattered by an earth-shattering explosion.
All the teams wanted to smell the sharks of the blood, and quickly gathered towards the source of the sound.
Soon, the nearest team arrived at their destination, and in front of them, a five-person squad was fighting against the nine puppets, all of whom were saint-level, but under the blows of the puppets, they could only defend passively.
One after another, a team came around, and some people shouted: "Brother, do you want to help?"
The leader of the five-person team, a roughly dressed female man, refused directly, and at the same time ordered the team members to be vigilant to prevent being raided.
Not long after, a black tiger king flew into the air, arousing everyone's ideas, because there were very few people who could control the fierce beast. There are three people standing above the head of the Black Tiger King, all of them are about 1.8 meters tall, two women and one man, the woman on the far left is 1.78 meters tall, strong and strong, similar to the temperament of the female captain who is fighting; the woman on the far right is 1.75 meters tall, with a delicate body, outstanding appearance, and elegant temperament, far better than all the women present; but the most eye-catching thing is the young man in the middle, who is 1.82 meters tall, but has a face that is different from all men, it is simply amazing, handsome and hearty.
All the women present were staring at the young man or paying attention to him. All men are disdainful, and in their world, the strong, fierce-facing man is the real man.
The people who came were Xingchen, Xiaolan, and Jane, and this was the fourth relic they had searched, and it was also the largest relic in three days. After coming here, Xingchen said directly: "No matter what is here, it is mine, and if you don't want to die, leave immediately." ”
As soon as these words came out, most of the people were dissatisfied, and the captain of the five-person squad who was fighting shouted, "Little white face, what a big breath, seeing that you look good, I will catch you now and be my wishful husband." ”
Jian Ze stood up and scolded, "I'm sorry, look at your outfit, I thought you were the same person as me, but I didn't expect you to have the same habits as ordinary women, what's wrong with a strong man." You make me sick. ”
At this time, a dry cough sounded, Jane turned around and found that it was Xingchen's voice, and immediately laughed and apologized, "I'm sorry, Uncle Luo, I was wrong, I just said she was disgusting." ”
Xingchen waved his hand, "I know your aesthetic, no need to explain." ”
Xiaolan also smiled: "Okay, Jian'er, he is not angry with you. ”
Jane was relieved, turned around and flew out, rushing towards the five-person team. When the female captain saw this, the atmosphere was simply that she was disgusting, and this was all on the door, how could she not be angry, and directly greeted her with a big knife.
The two fought together.
