Opening a Shop

Xiao Han abandoned Long Fei, who was daydreaming, and went offline alone. He knew that there would definitely be a lot of materials waiting for him when he went online. He believed in Long Fei's ability to do things. He was not worried about not having enough medicinal herbs, but that Long Fei would be too hot-headed and buy too many.

Xiao Han suddenly remembered that he still had more than 70,000 yuan in his bank card. This was the first time he had come into contact with such a large sum of money. He realized that he had no idea what this money should be used for. He was used to living as a poor person. He was not used to suddenly having money. With money, the first thing he thought of was Xiaoyu and the auntie. It was time to save some money to buy a house for Xiaoyu and Auntie. The air in the south was a little humid. He didn't know if Auntie's old habit had relapsed. Xiao Han looked at the shabby bedroom. It was time for him to change a kennel. Since he had a source of money, he should earn more. It saved him from having to worry about money in the future.

"Let's go out and have a good meal." Xiao Han thought to himself. After taking a cold shower, he went to the bank to withdraw some money and went to a 'high-class' restaurant to eat a bowl of rice noodles. He spent a total of ten yuan. This might be the largest sum of money he had spent on food in his life.

After dinner, Xiao Han returned home. He logged into the game and browsed through the game's information. Currently, the most popular thing on the official website was building a base. He heard that killing Bosses above Level 30 had a certain chance of obtaining a Base Token and purchasing it to upgrade the base. Of course, building a base wasn't that simple. This was because when building a base, they had to resist monster attacks. It was somewhat similar to the settings in the World. Because the Base Token was too difficult to obtain, no guild had built a base. Xiao Han wondered if he should help Long Fei. This way, he could repay the favor of obtaining the Shennong Cauldron.

The official website was crazily hyping up the Base Token. The price of the Base Token had already been hyped up to 30 million RMB. Of course, this was only the price that was hyped up on the official website. No one would think that 30 million RMB could buy a Base Token, nor would anyone sell it after seeing that someone was buying a Base Token on the official website. Xiao Han secretly clicked his tongue. This thing was so expensive. There were so many rich people in the game!

The other thing was to open a shop. The city was selling some shops to players. The price of each shop ranged from 500 to 1,000,000 gold coins. Some good locations, such as the area around the Appraisal Club, the area around the Auction House, the area around the Apothecary Association, and so on, were sold for more than 1,000,000 gold coins. Of course, those good locations were sold to some large companies that were preparing to develop in the game through bidding.

Xiao Han was considering whether or not to open a shop. Hiring a shop assistant would cost 50 gold coins per month, and 1% of the net profit would have to be paid as tax. With the pills he made, he should be able to open a certain market, and with the equipment he dropped, opening a small shop shouldn't be a problem. He didn't want to expand his business. He just wanted to open a small shop to maintain his livelihood. If the small shop developed in the future, he would open another branch. If his business really didn't work out, he could sell the shop and earn back his capital.

Although the shop he bought was too small and couldn't do any big business, Xiao Han knew that one bite couldn't make him fat. The hard truth was to develop slowly and steadily.

When he walked to the store management office, there was already a long line. The slow crawling line gave Xiao Han another headache. Many people in front of the line shook their heads and walked out regretfully. They didn't buy a good location. The price was too expensive, and they were afraid that the poor location wouldn't be popular enough. The people in the line left one after another, and Xiao Han finally moved forward a little.

The person in front checked the rest of the shops, shook his head and sighed. Xiao Han walked up and saw that the map on the table was full of red dots. Those were bought by players, and there were not many places left.

Xiao Han took a closer look and his eyes suddenly lit up. There was another place that was also quite good. Although it was a little remote and in a small alley, and the shop was also very small, it was not far from the city gate and the city teleportation point. Moreover, it only cost five hundred gold coins. Xiao Han only had five hundred and fifty-six gold coins in his bag. He had never planned to buy a shop that was too expensive.

Xiao Han pointed at the location on the map and said to the administrator, "I want this place."

The administrator took out the deed. "Please pay five hundred gold coins."

The administrator's attitude was a little cold. It was no wonder. Those who would take a fancy to such a place were all insignificant people. Other than Xiao Han's relatively bright equipment, the other places were indeed not very conspicuous.

Xiao Han didn't care at all. He never cared about the opinions of others. If a person only lived for the opinions of others, wouldn't it be very tiring? Xiao Han paid five hundred gold coins.

"Do you want to hire a man? 50 gold coins a month."

"Yes, I'm hiring a shop assistant." Xiao Han took out 50 gold coins and paid a month's fee. A 17 or 18-year-old young man walked out. It was obvious that he was a smart NPC. This kind of smart NPC would not bargain with people. It would only sell items at the price given by the shop owner and turn over the day's turnover to the shop owner. However, there was a benefit to this. It was more trustworthy than people.

"You shall be called Xiao Bao." Xiao Han brought Xiao Bao to the shop he had bought. This shop was not big, about sixty square meters. Although it was small, it had all the features. There was a counter in the shop, and three shelves. The larger ones stored equipment, and the other two sold pills and skill books. The size was just right. There was also a small room inside, and there was a storage box with a hundred spaces. Anything that was not usually used could be placed here.

Xiao Han was very satisfied with the shop. Even if he lost a small business, he wouldn't lose too much. He didn't pursue any ups and downs. He only wanted peace and quiet in the world.

[System: Please name your shop.]

Xiao Han thought for a moment and decided to call it Taobao Grocery Store. It was easy to understand and concise.

[System: Naming successful.]

Looking at his small shop, Xiao Han felt a sense of accomplishment. After all, this was his first fixed asset.
