It’s okay because the younger sister is a child, but doesn’t the older sister know that she should be careful to avoid attracting attention?

Qingyu couldn't help but frowned when she thought of this.

Just when she thought the other party was not very alert, the fire mage seemed to have noticed something. After letting his sister leave first, he suddenly turned into the alley next to him.

"There is indeed a problem."

Qingyu, who had originally had some doubts about this, immediately abandoned his previous thoughts and followed with Beibei beside him, but he followed very carefully and even used the skill of concealing his breath while sneaking.

There was a restless air current sliding in the air. Although it was invisible, it was obvious that the other people who were following had also kept up with the pace.

It was not until five minutes later that the fire mage emerged from the alley. He seemed to feel that he had been circling around for so long that even if there were any pursuers, he would be able to shake them off successfully. So he walked along the street in one direction.

Although the other party is quite alert, his anti-tracking skills are still lacking.

This action not only failed to shake off the tail behind them, but also made these people more determined in their inner thoughts, following the target and bringing them to their destination -

Nalton's Commercial Plaza.

Qingyu remembered that she and Muying had visited here when she first came here, and she had a deep impression of this place.

Most of the people inside are Aboriginals setting up stalls to sell goods, including equipment materials and handicrafts. There are also many Aboriginal chambers of commerce that have set up shops specifically in Nalton, which are similar to specialty stores.

Many players like to hang out here, buy some interesting gadgets, or take a fancy to the equipment and props made by the indigenous people.

However, it was obvious that the other party did not intend to stroll around here. Instead, he observed the surroundings and walked towards the corner of the square after seeing that no one was paying attention to him.

Qingyu and the others followed and found that the fire mage was staying next to a shop that seemed deserted and no one was around.

The words displayed on the signboard next to it seemed to be a temporary shop belonging to a certain chamber of commerce.

Large chambers of commerce usually have specialized stores in towns. I think this chamber of commerce should be a smaller one, but the furnishings and goods inside are still attractive compared to some stalls in the square. The reason why it is deserted is largely due to its location.

But such a remote location becomes somewhat special in the eyes of Qingyu and others, because it often symbolizes the key to various hidden tasks and hidden props.

The target's subsequent actions further confirmed their guesses, which were similar in their minds.

The fire mage handed all the rented fluorite lanterns to the stall clerk.

It's either a hidden mission or there are special circumstances.

This thought immediately arose in everyone's mind.

After all, those fluorite lanterns were all rented, and if they were not returned by the time the deadline came, a large amount of penalty would have to be paid. The fact that the fire mage dared to sell them off like this and went through so much trouble meant that he was confident that he could get back more fluorite lanterns, or that he could make enough profit.

The fire mage did not stay for long and soon left the stall. However, with his departure, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Although the other followers wanted to check the situation immediately, they all knew that there were many colleagues around.

Simply put, I don't want to be the first to stand out.

However, Qingyu did not have this concern. She never liked being bound by unimportant things. She pulled Beibei into the stall.

Seeing this, the others hesitated for a moment before following suit. The originally deserted stall suddenly became lively.

At this time, Qingyu and the others were already talking to the store clerk.

"Hello, do you buy fluorite lanterns here?" Qingyu talked to Beibei and asked the clerk. Judging from the behavior of the fire mage, it should be close to the answer.

The clerk's answer confirmed their thoughts, "Yes, the head of our Rhine Chamber of Commerce recently wants to purchase a batch of fluorite lanterns."

Qingyu and Beibei looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes. However, before they could imagine how generous the reward the other party would give, the price given by the clerk made them stay where they were.

Or maybe it was not just two people, all the others who followed were stunned by this outrageous price.

Chapter 23: The Fishes on the Hook

"Wait, are you sure there is no problem with this price?" Qingyu was a little bit unbelievable and hurriedly asked the other party again. After all, this price was really ridiculously low, almost equivalent to the cost price.

As if she was well aware of the business rules, even when faced with a situation that seemed to be difficult, the aboriginal girl who was hired to look after the stall still had a smile on her face, and there was no sign of dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Yes, that's the price the person in charge has set."

After hearing this accurate answer, people in the stall had different reactions. One or two people who didn't have much patience to begin with cursed under their breath and turned away, but more people had deep doubts.

They are not stupid, and the fire mage is even less stupid (someone: actually he really is). It is impossible for him to be so busy and yet still do something that costs him money. There must be some secret behind this.

Just as they were thinking, a female voice full of energy rang out from the stall, "How strange, why can't we buy the goods here?"

"Sorry, we are only open in the afternoon."

Qingyu subconsciously glanced at the girl standing next to the shelf not far away, and felt that she looked familiar...

It seemed that he was somewhat similar to the fire mage they were following.

But after seeing the other person dressed like a thief, he gave up the idea. Appearance can be changed with special props, but profession will not lie.

Qingyu lost interest after taking a few glances and planned to discuss her idea with Beibei next to her, but the next moment, not only her, but everyone in the stall cast their eyes towards the girl.

The reason lies in the questions he blurted out and the clerk's answers.

"Ala, you guys still sell fluorite lanterns here?"

"Yes, we plan to sell the fluorite lanterns we purchased here to increase the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce."

"If I sell it, can I buy it back?" The girl seemed to ask a rather stupid question.

The clerk smiled and nodded without caring, "Of course, if you are willing to bear the difference in the amount, and to avoid malicious behavior, you can only buy back the maximum amount of goods you sold, and you can only sell goods once a day."

This is actually equivalent to an alternative mortgage concept.

Such a year popped up in everyone’s mind, but even so, no one would do such a stupid thing.

After all, although the price quoted by the clerk was not much, it was still slightly higher than the purchase price. It was impossible for the businessman to be confused about this point...

But it seems someone has figured out the key to being different.

"Wait." The girl muttered to herself, not realizing that her voice had been heard clearly by the people in the stall, "In other words, if the purchase price is raised, the selling price will be lowered."

Raise...lower...

Everyone fell into deep thought as if they had been reminded. Beibei suddenly remembered what he had seen before. An idea suddenly flashed in his mind. He reached out and pulled Qingyu next to him, and whispered his thoughts.

Qingyu's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to take action to verify it, Beibei stopped her with a look, indicating that there were people from other guilds nearby. She immediately understood and nodded.

However, their secret plan was completely shattered the next moment by someone who couldn't understand the atmosphere.

"Do you have a membership system here? If I become a member of the Chamber of Commerce, will there be any discounts on purchases, or will there be additional price subsidies when I sell items?"

The girl before asked the clerk excitedly as if she had discovered a new world. Someone followed the girl's gaze and noticed the wooden board next to the counter where the Chamber of Commerce was recruiting members.

"Yes, silver members enjoy a 5% discount, gold members enjoy an 10% discount, and the purchase price will increase by % and % respectively on the original basis." The clerk replied quickly.

Everyone reacted immediately, and those who were good at math came to a conclusion in their minds right away. The price of silver membership was barely on par with the purchase price, while gold membership could fully recover the cost, and the profit seemed to be not low?

Of course, the premise is to ignore the cost of becoming a member.

Although Qingyu and Beibei were somewhat frustrated by the girl's outspokenness, now was not the time to care about it. Since the secret had been exposed, they did not care about it and immediately asked the clerk, "Excuse me, how can I become a member?"

"As long as you complete the membership tasks of the Chamber of Commerce, that will be all." The clerk smiled slightly, and then a system prompt popped up in front of everyone present.

System: Do you accept the task [Membership certificate of Rhine Chamber of Commerce]?

Everyone accepted it without any hesitation, and then immediately opened the taskbar to check it carefully.

The above mission objective is very simple, which is to ask them to purchase some special fire-resistant potion formulas and obtain silver or gold membership certificates based on the quantity submitted.

"So that's it..."

Qingyu suddenly remembered that a few days ago, someone had purchased a large amount of this kind of medicine formula at the exchange. She felt it was strange at that time, but now she thought that it was probably the work of the fire mage who discovered this hidden stall.

Although she knew the formulas of these potions, if she wanted to become a gold member, she would have to spend more than a dozen silver coins, but this was not as much as the profit she could make by selling and buying back fluorite lanterns after becoming a member.

Moreover, this task is only a temporary expense. If the Chamber of Commerce stays in this city, it can earn a considerable income from here every day.

What Qingyu thought of, others could naturally think of as well. Almost in an instant, everyone took action.

"Amu, come out now!"

"You weren't really arrested, were you?"

"Let's talk business!" Qingyu was choked, but she also knew that now was not the time to joke, so she told the other party roughly the situation here.

"How much is the profit?" Mu Ying replied after pondering for a moment. One could feel the sudden seriousness in the short text.

"Based on the amount our guild has stockpiled, a gold member can get around 430 silver coins."

The other party was obviously a little surprised, "When did you become so good at calculating?"

A faint vein popped up on Qingyu's forehead. "I can use the computer to calculate, okay? Now focus on the business, the business!"

"Alright, alright, don't worry. I've already explained this to the president, and he agreed that we can use all the fluorite lanterns. I'll also have someone bring the potion formula over. Just in case, you can wait over there for a while."

"Is it necessary to be so cautious..."

"After all, this is not a small amount of money. It seems that we should try our best to get those scattered fluorite lanterns on the market."

Mu Ying was right. A profit of nearly four gold coins was no small matter. The current daily income of those large guilds was only fourteen or fifteen gold coins at most. Moreover, as long as the Chamber of Commerce was still there, they could continue to do so. How could they not pay attention to such a profitable thing?

Qingyu nodded and added, "Bring more people and a few dozen recipes. There is a certain limit to the number of recipes that can be sold here."

"Okay, I'll tell Wrench and the others, and you can tell them what to do when we get there."

Neither of them took this to heart. Although the sales cap meant that more people would need to become members, which would increase expenses, it would only be a few dozen silver coins at most, which was nothing compared to the profits gained.

After hanging up the contact with Mu Ying, Qingyu saw that Beibei was still on the call and decided not to disturb her. He looked around and observed carefully because he was concerned. He found that the girl who was a little nervous had disappeared without a trace.

Strange, where did that girl go?

Qingyu frowned, feeling something was not right in her heart, but she couldn't tell what it was.

But her attention was soon drawn to the goods on the shelves.

Perhaps Qingyu would never have imagined that the girl she cared about was now wearing a very familiar outfit and standing at a corner outside the stall, showing off proudly to another person she was also very familiar with.

"How about it, Lord Demon? My acting is great, isn't it?"

"It's really great."

I answered honestly, "It perfectly shows what it means to be a fool who can't read the atmosphere. It's more like playing myself."

After saying that, I ignored the person's gloomy face and continued to observe the movement at the stall.

The commotion he and Satasia caused in the commercial street successfully attracted the attention of seven or eight guilds. Such a large-scale mobilization within these guilds would definitely attract the attention of spies planted by other guilds, and then let more guilds know. By then, this side would be able to monopolize most of the fluorite lanterns on the market.

As for the membership tasks, I arranged them by myself. It is more convenient to have so many people help than to wait for them myself, and I don’t have to spend extra money.

The design of the sales cap takes into account the psychology of this group of people. After all, if the cost of dozens or even hundreds of potion formulas is to be spent at once, it will definitely make these people subjectively unacceptable. It would be more clever to have multiple people bear the cost in installments. After all, the total money of these people is the same.

And those goods were special props that he bought from the hidden store. They made the stall look more real, and he also planned to make a small profit.

Seeing that quite a few people had noticed those props and were showing interest in them, it seemed that this plan was not without basis.

Of course, I did not forget to set a suitable price for these items, adjusting the price by 10% upwards from the original psychological price, so as to offset the discount for gold members.

This is the so-called strategy of raising prices first and then giving discounts. Don’t ask me where this operation comes from. You can learn it by browsing Taobao more often.

"Okay, now we just need to wait for the fruits here to slowly sprout. Let's go, Satasia, and continue burning bones."

Chapter 24: Finding New Paths

Another four days passed, during which almost all the guilds that entered Nalton knew about the "Rhine Chamber of Commerce's special way of making money."

Every day, there are always a large number of members from different guilds squatting near the stalls, selling all the guild's fluorescent lanterns and recycling them, using the membership system to earn a considerable difference.

If it weren't for the fact that the time for purchasing and selling goods was staggered in the morning and afternoon respectively, facing this group of crazy guys, the assets he stored in the Chamber of Commerce would probably be completely cleared out in just half a day.

Although the current situation is almost the same, the deficit shown on the stall data proves that he has lost more than two hundred gold coins in the past few days, and this still includes the profits from the sale of special items.

If it were any other player, or even a guild, faced with this huge deficit, they would have probably stopped thinking long ago, but fortunately, with more or less income from the Orwin Empire, they were able to barely avoid bankruptcy.

However, even though the Chamber of Commerce suffered huge losses, I didn't take it too seriously. One reason was that I had already made plans, and another reason was probably that the tasks in the Glorious chapter concerned me more.

Mihri Arena, outside the Mihri ruins.

The dark sky with occasional lightning makes the surrounding ruins look even more desolate, but this well-preserved building has not lost its former grandeur and appearance with the passage of time.

From the traces between the pillars, one can still seem to witness the scenes of war hundreds of years ago. Even in a movie, it is still an excellent battle stage.

What's more, what is taking place at this moment is a real battle.

A tall and unusually strong skeleton swung his sword to attack Kai in front of him. The armor with special markings seemed to represent his identity as the commander of the team in front of him.

The summoned undead guards who were fighting with Bemira, Satasia and others not far away further confirmed this point.
