After listening to Mr. Zhang Guo’s narration, Fang Yi’s first reaction was: This method is good, it can be used on Peach Blossom Island!

In fact, a large number of people in the game, like Fang Yi and Zhang Guolao, do not like to be restrained by others and like to be alone. This is especially common among life players, including some people with unique skills.

Lao Zuo is the most typical example that Fang Yi encountered.

Taohua Island can completely imitate the Iron-Chief Fortress and open up a new market area on the island for locomotive players or small guilds who do not have such strong financial resources to rent.

There are two benefits to doing this. First, it can attract more people to rush to Taohua Island, especially those who are relatively low-key and have not been recruited by other major guilds. Because a store has a meaning to life players, it is no less than an orange suit or a high-level mount for combat players.

The same is true for reality. Only by promoting fame and having a fixed source of customers can the business gradually become bigger and stronger.

Secondly, we can use this to increase the reputation of Taohua Island and let more people see the current prosperity of Taohua Island. Now Chen Jing has sent someone to photograph the grand scene after the opening of Taohua Island's port and put it on the forum for publicity. This two-pronged approach will definitely be better.

Do it as soon as you say it!

Fang Yi immediately sent a message to Chen Jing and explained his thoughts in detail. As for the details, he just wanted to let professionals do it.

After Fang Yi finished fiddling with her, he raised his head and found that Zhang Guo Lao was looking at him with a gaze. Then he realized that he thought to himself, why did I forget others?

"No, I'll be impressed when I think about it."

Fang Yi smiled apologetically and said, "Do you want me to take you in. Ask clearly what the situation is?"

"Yes!" Zhang Guo Lao nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "The opportunity is rare at this point, it would be a pity to miss it! Master, if you can take me in, I will pay you three thousand gold coins! How about it?"

"It's just a simple task, no money,"

Fang Yi waved his hand and felt a little better at the smooth but principled elf ranger in front of him. He smiled and said, "I'll try the guards out later. See if it works."

"Okay, okay! Thank you!" Zhang Guo's old face smiled like a flower, and she grinned her teeth and laughed.

This opportunity is really rare. Mr. Zhang Guo just quit his real job not long ago and is preparing to be a full-time player. Whether this first step is good or not seems very important.

The two waited for a few minutes, and the guard who informed him finally came out and told Fang Yi that he could go in. As for the old man Zhang Guo, he didn't even look at it. As a legitimate lord, isn't it normal for Fang Yi to take a subordinate?

...

There was nothing to say along the way, and the two of them quickly led by the guards to the center of the city lord's mansion and met Lord Gasol in a spacious and bright study.

When I saw Gasol, the first word that came out of Fang Yi's heart was "Old".

The dwarf in front of him is too old.

It is completely different from the dwarf Fang Yi had seen before, Gasol's appearance is far from the four words "strong and strong".

To put it vividly, he was like an underground dwarf with a magnification of No. 1, so thin that he was only skinny and boneless. Even the beard on his face was lifeless grayish white, his cheekbones were protruding high, and his eyelids drooped weakly. It was difficult to lift it up.

"I can't stand up to greet the strong people who come from afar."

Just like his appearance, the old voice made Fang Yi and Zhang Guo Lao subconsciously think of the dead trees in the cold winter, "The Misilian Lord falling from the sea of ​​stars."

"You are so kind,"

Fang Yi did not dare to be arrogant, bowed slightly to the old man who was sitting in the animal fur, and said word by word: "It is my honor to see you."

Zhang Guo Lao behind Fang Yi saw the scene in front of him and couldn't help but jump twice in his heart: This is a successful professional player! This is the real master! From the beginning of the game to now, he has been relying on his own strength. Now he can make the Grand Lord Gasol, known for his iron blood, so polite...

This game is played...

Fang Yi and Gasol finished their greetings here, and Fang Yi solemnly proposed his purpose to Gasol.

"Soul Rose?"

Hearing the word that Fang Yi said, the old dwarf who had been lowering his eyes raised his eyes slightly and looked at Fang Yi. Fang Yi felt as if a lightning was passing by, and he had goose bumps on his body, and subconsciously pressed the weapon under the cloak!

But just a moment later, Fang Yi realized that the cold sweat came down - this guy just glanced at me, why did he feel like he was staring at by a dragon?? Is this the power of the legendary NPC?

"I know this kind of thing, but I'm sorry, I can't give it to you."

Gasol's pleated face smiled, and raised his hand to stop Fang Yi's next request, "No need to say more, the young lord. Soul Rose is only useful, and I naturally know that you have the determination to get it. It's just that it means a lot to me now, and I really can't give up. Sorry."

Fang Yi had already reached his mouth and had to swallow it back into his stomach - Gasol's status and strength were only higher than that of Quinitos's wooden face. Being able to say the word "sorry" was already quite polite to him, which means there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

The only function? What is the function of the soul rose? Why does Gasol value it so much?

Gasol's words aroused Fang Yi's doubts one after another, but the atmosphere at the moment was obviously not a good time to ask, so I can only wait for later.

"When it comes to this, I actually have another business to talk to the Mithril Lord."

The old Gasol moved his body gently on the big chair covered with thick animal skin and continued to speak: "I wonder if Taohua Island is interested in ore trading?"

"Of course," Fang Yi calmed down and his mind began to turn habitually and quickly: "I don't know what you are talking about..."

"There are several small boats in the harbor of the Aragon Royal City, which can transport the best ore of the Iron Tooth to Peach Blossom Island. I think these ores will not have to worry about sales on the Dragon Coast." Gasol said with his eyes open and he looked at Fang Yi.

Fang Yi did not speak, but still maintained a respectful expression.

Because if that's the case alone, Gasol didn't need to mention it to Fang Yi alone, just send a boat to the port of Taohua Island to unload the goods. It must be that there are more wolves and fewer meats, so there is no need to worry about sales.

Sure enough, Gasol's tone remained unchanged, so he briefly explained the reason to Fang Yi.

It turns out that as an absolute inland city, all the goods, especially the ore of Ironto Fort, must be transported out of the port of Aragon City, and only large merchant ships in Aragon City can deliver these goods to various countries on the other side of the sea.

Because of this absolute monopoly advantage, the Tumis royal family regarded all the goods in the port as their own private goods, and most of the profits were also taken into the royal wallet. The final profits obtained by the Iron Tooth Castle were only a small part of them.

If the Iron-Grooster Fort wants to keep the profits of the ore firmly in its own hands, the method is very simple, which is to sign trade agreements with other countries - in this way, the Tumis royal family cannot use the reason of "full authority to represent the Iron-Grooster Fort trade" to seize the profits.

However, without a large ship, there is no way to transport goods to other countries. Even if a trade agreement is signed with other countries, it will still be controlled by the Aragon royal family, and the symptoms are not the root cause.

But now Fang Yi’s Taohua Island has become a variable - medium and small merchant ships can also reach Taohua Island relatively safely and then transport it to the Dragon Coast via Taohua Island without having to rely on the large ships in the Aragon Royal City.

"As long as the Iron-Groove Fort and Taohua Island sign a trade agreement, the royal city has no right to seize the profits of the goods. We can also use our own ship to transport the goods. The original biggest problem is no longer a problem. Of course, in return, the sale price of ore can be reduced by 20% based on the market price. As for what price you sell on the Dragon Coast, it is not my business~"

Gasol's old voice rang in the study, which also stirred everyone's heartstrings - signing a trade treaty with Ironto Fort, which was heart-warming to think about it.

Zhang Guo next to him had already been excited and tightly clenched his fists: A transaction of this scale... His plans are nothing compared to others...

"oh?"

Fang Yi did not rush to agree, but smiled slightly: "So, the ships in Tieto Fort do not plan to replenish supplies on Taohua Island, and then deliver the goods directly to Ximen Port or Xingmu City? The profits in that way are much higher than selling them to us~"

"Haha, without the royal family's followers, the ships and personnel of Ironto Fortress are not allowed to set foot in other countries," Gasol said with a smile.

After hearing this, Fang Yi raised his eyebrows gently, and a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.

However, Fang Yi still did not agree. Zhang Guo Lao next to him was a little anxious and kept winking at Fang Yi: If you don’t agree to such a good opportunity, what are you waiting for!

"Will the people of the Aragon royal family feel sorry for such a large profit being stolen?"

Fang Yi Shiran said, his expression was exactly the opposite of Mr. Zhang Guo, and he was quite calm. "The Tumis Empire is so powerful. If we can't stand it, we can take advantage of Taohua Island and send troops to attack us. What should we do?"

It was not until this time that Gasol's drooping eyes raised for the second time, but this time Fang Yi did not feel as if he was facing a great enemy, because the Lord of the Iron Tooth Castle's eyes were full of smiles, and he was even slightly admired.

"The Lord of the Mithril throne, you won't even have such a courage, right?" Gasol's tone was once teasing and said with a smile.

"Hehe, if I weren't careful enough, I wouldn't be alive now~"

Fang Yi smiled and fully demonstrated his cheeky style. He was not inspired by Gasol's words: "Let's do this, I am still optimistic about this deal. Let me think about it carefully and you will receive my reply soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Gasol didn't care, and said with a smile.

There was nothing to say next. Fang Yi mentioned the difficulties Zhang Guo had encountered to Gasol. The old lord just thought a little and gave two orders - according to the previous promise of the Iron Tooth Castle, give the Elf Ranger a store's right to lease; in addition, thoroughly investigate the officials who rented the store. If there is any violation of the laws of the Iron Tooth Castle, kill them without any worries!

Before leaving the city lord's mansion, Fang Yi took advantage of the opportunity to ask the old dwarf who seemed to be unable to stand up. "Ask a pity, how did you make sure that I am the real Misilan Lord, not a fake?"

"The silver dragon's breath is impossible to imitate,"

The old dwarf sat on the back of a large chair, with a flash of light in his twitching eyelids. "Even among all kinds of powerful dragons, the breath of the silver dragon is unique."

...

Until he walked out of the Iron-Tooth Fort, Zhang Guo was still muttering: "There is still a problem of corruption in this NPC? This is also a scam... Isn't this nonsense..."

"It's normal. The NPCs in "Miracles" have their own backgrounds, power backgrounds, growth backgrounds, and of course emotional and personality backgrounds. This is not surprising,"

Fang Yi patted the elf ranger's shoulder and explained with a smile: "This is probably a small plot mission. We should have triggered the plot this time. If you are lucky, there will be a discount on store rentals. It depends on your luck~"

"real?"

Old Zhang Guo's eyes lit up, he said excitedly, and then thanked Fang Yi very sincerely: "God! Fortunately, you are here! Otherwise, I will be in trouble..."

"Don't call me a master, call me a cube, it's awkward,"

Fang Yi waved his hand and said, "Everyone has been hiding slowly. I just walked a little faster than you."

It's not faster... We're still riding a bicycle, you're already on the rocket... Zhang Guo sighed in his heart.

Fang Yi actually intends to recruit Mr. Zhang Guo. Because by chatting with the other party, Fang Yi learned that the elf ranger in front of him has very high mining and alchemy skills, and he is definitely a first-class life player.

But whether in reality or in the game, to be successful, what is needed is not only strength, but also luck is also a very important factor. Now the problem that Fang Yi is thinking has also changed. In the past, people always came to find Fang Yi, but now Fang Yi is always talking about recruiting others.

However, Zhang Guo Lao politely rejected Fang Yi's invitation, and the reason was very real: after staying in Tiechi Castle for so long, the geographical and people were built, and the store opened, the time was not far away, so Zhang Guo Lao wanted to try it out.

Fang Yi nodded with consent, expressing his firm support for Zhang Guolao's decision. Looking back on the past, in the early virtual game "Shushan and Sea of ​​Clouds", Fang Yi and other brothers struggled with this enthusiasm and almost stubborn persistence?

"Do you want to go to the market area with me? Maybe there is something you are looking for?"

Mr. Zhang obviously didn't want to pass by the great god in his heart so much, and invited enthusiastically: "I have many friends who are mining and learning blacksmiths. I will take you to ask, how many people are, how powerful is it~"
