Tang Yi remembered that when he set up a stall two days ago, a short-haired aunt from outside the city looked at his spicy rabbit legs with a look of disgust.
“There are only these things here, how much do you pay for a rabbit leg?”
That tone of voice made Tang Yi very uncomfortable.
“3 copper coins each.” Tang Yi didn’t treat her as enthusiastically as he did other guests.
“3 copper coins? How much stamina should be added?”
“Add 10 stamina, but the taste is very good.” Tang Yi explained dryly.
The woman with short hair frowned even tighter: “The rice balls with 10 stamina in the mall are only 2 copper coins each. The prices in Xuantian City are too high.” She said with disdain in her eyes.
Old Man Zeng pulled Tang Yi aside: “Guests, you can try a piece first, buy it if you are satisfied, and find other favorite foods if you are not satisfied.”
As he spoke, he handed the small plate for tasting to the woman with short hair.
And after eating, Old Man Zeng saw her satisfaction, but she quickly concealed that satisfaction, “That’s it, I’ll buy one for 2 copper coins.”
The old man had a smile on his face, but he was extremely contemptuous of the girl in his heart, “Small business, no discounts.”
The woman with short hair looked even uglier, and Tang Yi didn’t even want to look at her.
In the end, she still didn’t buy it, gave the grandpa and grandson a supercilious look, twisted her waist, and left.
Old Man Zeng shook his head at the time, the girl looked luxurious in what she was wearing, but in the end, she played tricks for a copper coin, tsk tsk.
Time back to the present, the group of people has not left, mainly because most of the people who wanted to persuade did not persuade them to leave, and they still wanted to work harder.
Zhuang Yun fought a few strengthened wild monsters today, and the harvest was pretty good. As soon as he arrived at the door, his daughter Zhuang Antong ran over and hugged his thigh.
“Dad, I went to the mission hall today to exchange haystack for 5 copper coins.” The girl showed him the copper coin as she spoke.
Zhuang Yun knelt and touched her head: “What’s the matter? Tell Dad about it.” There was no exchange for copper coins before.
Zhuang Antong pulled him, bouncing up and down, “This afternoon, I went to the mission hall, and then found a button to exchange haystack for copper coins. I exchange the haystack we couldn’t finish eating.”
Hearing what she said, Zhuang Yun probably understood what was going on, and there was a high probability that it was the acquisition by the city-state.
“An’An can exchange whatever she wants. The collection is the result of your labor. It doesn’t matter if you exchange some of it for money.” Zhuang Yun wanted her daughter to understand that her labor can earn money.
“Well, Dad, I bought a rabbit leg from Brother Tang Yi today. You must eat it. It’s delicious.” Zhuang Antong smiled and showed her porcelain white teeth.
The mission hall has opened a new business, which was, acquired. From all kinds of edible ingredients that can be collected to fur such as rabbit skin, it can be exchanged.
The price was not so high, but the price was fair. If a small amount accumulated, it can also be a high income. Many people began to go outside the city to collect large quantities of crops to exchange for copper coins. At present, everyone was not short of food, but they were short of money.
*
For the acquisition to go smoothly, Lu Jiu took out 10 gold coins and exchanged them for copper coins. In the game world, 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins, and 1 silver coin = 1000 copper coins.
One million copper coins, she believes was enough to purchase in the short term.
As for starting the acquisition, she was planning to upgrade the city-state to level 2, so that she can open official stores and have professional NPCs sent by the system, such as chefs and tailors.
Upgrading a city-state from level 1 to level 2 requires 45,000 Glory Crystals, 5,000 Glory Dust, 1,500 Glory Fragments, and 50 Glory Hearts.
At present, no one in the city-state has paid 5,000 contribution points quickly. Lu Jiu feels that it was not realistic to rely on residents to upgrade the city-state in a short period.
People from Phantom City who were not registered residents here cannot go to the mission hall, but they still know from other residents that the city-state was purchasing supplies.
The woman with short hair that the old man and grandson met before was from the Phantom City. Hearing such news, she knew that the city owner here wanted to open a shop.
“Our city lord is just using resources to smash into a second-level city-state. It is guaranteed that the city lord of Xuantian City will also have a certain amount of resources to use.”
Another tall, inch-headed man nodded in agreement, “That’s right, the first players who have established the city-state are the first players, but there is also a gap between the players. It’s a pity that the city owner of this city has concealed information.”
Otherwise…they still want to find out who the city owner was.
The short-haired girl disdains this kind of behavior of concealing information: “Pretending to be mysterious, the city lord also represents a kind of strength, does he want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?”
She was also a pioneer player, but unfortunately, she doesn’t have the ability to spend a lot of money. Although many pioneer players build city-states, the city-building order that had to be bought in the game before was 998 yuan each.
She was originally a college student, and her living expenses were only 2,000 yuan. She usually bought cosmetics and meals, so she was willing to spend half of her living expenses on tokens.
The short-haired man knew that the short-haired girl was jealous, so he changed the subject to talk about something else. “Anyway, try harder these days. If the city lord opens a store, those people will not leave.”
They were people from the second-tier city-state. They know that the goods sold in the store were more affordable than the mall. A few days ago, they used this as a publicity stunt to persuade the two teams to leave.
The others nodded silently after hearing what the inch-headed man said. If they could attract people to their city-state, the city lord would give them a commission. The more people there were, the more they would earn.
Those who have been recruited go to the Phantom City to borrow the name of their team in the hall, and they will be exempted from the one-month borrowing fee. The city owner just looks at the registration record and settles the commission for them.
After three days, the residents of Xuantian City received the reminder.
[System prompt: Congratulations to Xuantian City for being officially upgraded to a second-tier city-state!]
Was this a second-tier city-state? They remember that a lot of resources were needed to upgrade to level two, and the required resources add up to 96 permanent residents, not to mention the glory fragments and the heart of glory that no one has seen until now.
Zhuang Yun saw the prompt, and remembered the passage he saw before: “It seems that what the dialogue channel said is true, those who build city-states are the pioneer players.”
Only the pioneer player can establish a city-state at the beginning of the end, and there were so many city-state resources.
“Dad, those uncles and aunts haven’t left yet.” Zhuang Antong lay at the window to watch the people coming from the Phantom City downstairs. She still remembered that when she came back from collecting supplies outside the city, these people were still pestering her father to go with them.
“Don’t worry about those people, Dad won’t go out today, I’ll take you to see the shops in the city.”
“Okay, okay, I don’t know if the shop is good or not.”
Zhuang Antong remembers the shopping mall in the high-rise building in the past, and there was a toy mall inside.
After Lu Jiu was promoted to the second level, he got several initial shops and initial store manager NPCs. These have various skills, and each store manager brings two apprentices.
The city owner can choose what kind of shops to open, only three were free, and the rest have to be opened at their own expense.
She chose a restaurant, a tailor shop, and a drugstore for free, and added 40 gold coins to add a blacksmith shop, a department store, and a professional mining team composed of 10 NPCs to mine iron ore materials for the blacksmith shop.
