Chapter 187: They've already become rich!
Outer city, commercial street.
"Huh? Why are there so many more people buying things today?"
As soon as Honglian entered the commercial street, she saw people queuing up to shop at each store.
The food street, which was bustling yesterday, was still packed with people and doing brisk business.
Along the way, Honglian could see people gnawing on corn cobs skewered on wooden chopsticks. The sweet aroma was irresistible. Although Honglian had just eaten breakfast, she couldn't resist having another one.
"Lady Honglian, you've finally arrived!" Upon seeing Honglian, Xiaoyu hurried over, wiping the fine sweat from her brow as she reported, "These people all want to buy Night-Shining Dew, so..."
"I see." Honglian finally understood after hearing Xiaoyu's explanation.
After bathing in the glow-in-the-dark environment last night, many people became very interested in the glow-in-the-dark dew.
After all... this is a Pokémon that can strengthen the physical body.
With a stronger physical body, one's mental strength and defense will also be stronger.
In short... the physical body is the foundation of everything for extraordinary beings!
However, they only gained the right to purchase the Night-Shining Dew after learning that they needed to buy goods worth 50.
The smaller, weaker factions all shook their heads and gave up.
After all... 50 energy stones is something that even those small forces couldn't come up with after emptying their pockets.
However... someone came up with a new idea: several smaller factions could join forces to buy it.
There are no explicit rules in Longcheng prohibiting this method.
In fact, this was a backdoor that Xiao Yu deliberately left, so that smaller forces that wanted to buy Night Glow Dew but couldn't afford 50 energy stones would also have a chance to buy it.
So... early in the morning, people started lining up to shop on the commercial street.
Unlike yesterday, the food street was still very popular today, but in addition, the number of people buying cloth and iron products in the living area, as well as various weapons in the weapons area, was also increasing.
Some smaller factions have already begun purchasing in bulk, often in quantities of hundreds or even thousands.
Vegetables, plants, and water all have a shelf life.
However... even if you don't leave the trade fair for the time being, you can keep the cloth, weapons, and armor you buy now.
Therefore, many people start shopping in various ways in order to reach the 50 yuan spending limit.
"Pass down the word, everyone has worked hard these past few days! After the trade fair ends, I will report to the city lord, and everyone will be richly rewarded!" Honglian looked at the many shops on the commercial street, where the sales clerks were all extremely busy, and nodded approvingly.
At this rate, today's sales will be at least two or three times that of yesterday!
Earning over a million a day is a piece of cake!
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Also... hurry up and recruit some reserve sales clerks from the inner city! I'll make the good ones permanent!"
"Yes! Thank you, Deputy City Lord!" Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately nodded happily.
Before the commercial street opened, the city lord gave all the women in the inner city a training session.
A group of sales clerks and waiters were selected based on their good appearance, clear and appropriate speech, and ability to smile.
Most people could only become substitutes because they failed the assessment.
But today there was a sudden increase in customers, and the shopping street was completely overwhelmed.
Now, the opportunity has come for those on the waiting list.
You should know that even the worst-performing sales clerk can earn dozens of merit points a day.
That's equivalent to one or two months' salary for many people.
People like her and Yingzi can earn several hundred yuan a day.
Besides Xiaoyu and Yingzi's family, there are several other families in the inner city who have accumulated thousands of merit points due to their outstanding performance. In addition, they can also enjoy discounts under the various benefits of the inner city.
They can barely afford to eat corn, tomatoes, and other vegetables every few days.
In short, some of the earliest people who joined Longcheng gradually became wealthy.
Xiaoyu naturally thought that she should try her best to help those sisters who were not well-off, so that they could also become rich.
It's truly good when everyone is happy!
"Go ahead," Honglian said with a smile and a wave of her hand.
She is now the deputy city lord, and Xiao Yu has given her a great deal of power.
She could make all the decisions regarding rewards and punishments in all departments of Longcheng on her own.
It's equivalent to having control over the fate of many people in both the inner and outer cities.
Honglian did not abuse her power for this responsibility, nor did she betray Xiao Yu's trust.
He has always been dedicated and responsible, and always put the development of Longcheng first.
Only when everyone is doing well can Longcheng be better, and so can my brother!
Looking at the thriving commercial street, Honglian smiled with satisfaction. She brushed past three figures who were completely covered up, with only half of their pretty faces showing, and couldn't help but take another look.
The main problem is that this trio is a bit too unconventional.
However, there are too many strangely dressed people strolling around Longcheng now.
Honglian didn't think much of it and continued her inspection of the commercial street.
According to my brother, Longcheng's commercial street will become a platform for external trade and exchange.
As the deputy city lord, she naturally had to keep a close eye on the commercial street, identify problems, and resolve them promptly.
"This woman is so beautiful!"
Noticing Honglian's gaze, Wu Weier's pink eyes instantly became alert.
She glanced at the other woman's beautiful, fiery red short hair, then looked at her companion's straw-like long red hair, and couldn't help but shake her head, saying, "While those two women are out, let's grab something to eat and run!"
The beds at Longmen Inn were large, soft, and very comfortable.
The three women had never slept so well in all these years.
Just now, the three women discovered that the two temple envoys had left the Dragon Gate Inn.
It seems they are heading towards the inner city.
Wu Weier guessed that they were probably going to confirm their relationship with Longcheng.
If Dragon City learns of their orc identities and tries to capture them as well, that would be troublesome.
So... I have to eat my fill before they come back so I can make a quick getaway!
"Shouldn't we try to get some Night-Shining Dew?" Er Ya was still determined to get her hands on Night-Shining Dew.
Along the way, I heard many people talking about the Night-Shining Dew.
They listened closely and learned that by purchasing 50 energy stones, they could buy Night Dew.
"But we don't have enough energy stones, so we can't buy any!" Wu Weier said with a wry smile and a shake of her head.
“We can cooperate with those smaller factions to gather enough goods worth 50 energy stones!” Er Ya looked at the street with her red eyes. Some small factions were discussing in groups of three or five how to distribute the Night Glow Dew after they bought it.
Because... after purchasing goods worth 50 energy stones, you can only buy a maximum of 1000 drops of Night Dew.
If you want to buy more glow-in-the-dark lotion, you have to buy more goods of the same value.
At the same time, a notice was posted in Longcheng prohibiting the private sale of glowing dew in Longcheng.
As for the effects of Night Glow Dew, they begin to weaken after leaving Dragon City...
"No! I can't have too much contact with strangers, or my identity will be exposed!"
