Chapter 238 Barber Shop

Lu Jiu continued to look at various shops and found that they were really diverse. Then he saw a shop called Ice Storage.

Last summer, when the apocalypse had just begun, it was hardly hot to wear clothes made in the game, but this year that might not be the case, so she opened this store without hesitation.

"There's also an ice storage room here. If we open it, it will be perfect for providing ice cubes to restaurants for making cold drinks."

Shen Jufeng: "It's up to you to decide." He doesn't interfere in such matters.

Lu Jiu felt that although it was only spring and not very hot, it was still a good time to be prepared for danger.

She selected and chose in this way, and opened more than 200 stores in total, spending about 3,000 gold coins. Especially for the training room, she opened 60 more branches because there were too many people going there.

After the city-state was upgraded, the entire city area was several times larger than before, so the storefronts occupied by these stores were insignificant.

After choosing a store, the next step is to consider the city defense weapons.

The last time the beast tide besieged the city, Lu Jiu opened up the permission to sell rifles, but the 10 silver coins were only enough to deal with wild monsters, and the single-target damage was only 280. Many residents did not buy them, and chose to buy weapons from the store to deal with wild monsters.

She thought this weapon was useless, so she left it alone.

[City Defense Shield (Upgraded Version)]: Protects the city-state against wild monsters, can defend against 5 million attacks from wild monsters, and attacks from silver and above level monsters are converted into attacks based on the attack value. The temperature can be adjusted up and down by 40℃, and a new temperature sensor is added. The price is 30 gold coins.

In the future, the attacks of silver monsters may not be counted as one defense time, but the unexpected surprise is that it has a temperature sensing function, so you will not be completely ignorant of the external temperature in the future.

Just like before, she had to make up for the defense times, which still cost one copper coin each time. After the last beast tide, she realized how expensive this was.

[Flame Cannon]: Protects the city-state and attacks wild monsters. It has unlimited ammunition and automatically attacks without wear. It fires a 3250 fixed attack value shell every three seconds, with a burning effect that causes 400 damage per second for 3 seconds.

Note: A type of city defense weapon can launch a maximum of three consecutive attacks on the same target

Price: 8 gold coins per seat.

[Three-Arrow Poison Crossbow]: Protects the city-state and attacks wild monsters. Infinite crossbow arrows automatically attack without wear and tear. Three arrows are fired every three seconds. The arrowheads are highly poisonous. A single arrow can cause a fixed attack value of 1500. The attached poison can cause 500 damage per second for 3 seconds.

Note: A type of city defense weapon can launch a maximum of three consecutive attacks on the same target.

Price: 10 gold coins per piece.

Although the weapons in this update have been restricted, Lu Jiu is still quite satisfied. Next, the previous crystal cannon can be upgraded, and its damage value is similar to that of the flame cannon.

Upgrading costs 2 gold coins at a time, so Lu Jiu naturally chose to upgrade. You know, only half of the gold coins will be returned for weapons that have been removed. After all, these weapons have been used to protect the city-state.

Unfortunately, the only thing that can be upgraded is the crystal cannon.

The protective shield is directly upgraded, and the weapon slots are directly upgraded from one hundred to one thousand. The city-state can accommodate a population of five million.

Lu Jiu felt that it was still too early for his city-state to be filled with so many people.

·

The next day, when the residents of the city woke up, they found that the city had changed drastically.

In the past, it could still be seen as a city-state, but now it is an independent city, and the distance between the four city walls has become far.

Everyone has to get up and take out their bicycles to go outside. It would be too time-consuming to walk by yourself.

"Our city-state has been upgraded again. Wow, this city has become so huge."

"Exactly. Look at that row of shops. How many new ones has the city lord opened?"

"That's great. I have to buy a bicycle. Otherwise, it will be too troublesome to go out of the city."

…

Everyone was a little stunned when they suddenly saw so many shops with the same forging name.

However, after seeing this, the professional residents expressed their understanding, saying that if no branches were opened, it would be difficult for them to replace their weapons and equipment.

·

Lu Jiu got up and rode her white bicycle straight to the barber shop. Of all the shops she opened, this one interested her the most.

There are five barber shops located on various streets in the city-state. She is the city lord, so of course she opened one of them near her residential area.

It was already open for business at 9 o'clock in the morning. As soon as Lu Jiu walked in, he saw several NPCs, both male and female. They all had one thing in common, that is, they were not only good-looking, but also dressed very nicely.

It was a female NPC who came forward first. She was wearing a champagne-colored miniskirt with a small white leather belt around her waist. She looked elegant and playful.

However, Lu Jiu's attention was on her hairstyle. She had long golden hair with two cute little tufts on both sides of her head. It was a hairstyle that could only appear in games, just look at how fluffy her hair was.

"Hello, I wonder what hairstyle the city lord would like to use."

Lu Jiu quickly looked back, fortunately there was no one else around, "No need to call me City Lord here, just treat me as an ordinary resident of the city."

Several NPCs smiled and nodded, "Okay, we got it."

It's a pleasure to see so many handsome men and beautiful women smiling at you.

After Lu Jiu sat down, she began to look at her hairstyle card, then looked up and asked the blonde NPC standing next to her, "Do you have your own cards?"

After all, those who have hairstyle cards are the first players to do so.

The NPC smiled and replied, "Of course we do. We just have to buy the ones we have here directly. If you take them out yourself, we only charge a labor fee."

Hearing this, Lu Jiu nodded in satisfaction and took out the clothes she had picked out long ago. Today she was wearing a long-sleeved pullover and shorts.

The NPC took the card and tapped it lightly. The card disappeared, leaving only a holographic hairstyle. With just a casual movement, the hairstyle was transferred to Lu Jiu.

This is a hairstyle with long light blonde hair, but she wears a lavender hat with cute little wings on both sides of the hat, and a pair of white-framed lensless glasses, making Lu Jiu look youthful.

She was sitting opposite a full-length mirror. Seeing her new hairstyle, she stood up and turned around carefully to take a closer look. "It's true that I look different after changing my hairstyle."

The NPC saw that she was very satisfied with this and smiled sincerely, "You are very suitable for this."

Lu Jiu: "Don't be polite with me, I'll pay you."

The NPC naturally wasn't polite to the city lord, "The fee for bringing your own card is one silver coin."

This price may not seem worth it if you only look at the ease of the NPC's movements, but now only barber shops can change players' hairstyles.

Lu Jiu gave a silver coin without hesitation and looked at herself in the mirror, feeling that she was beautiful no matter how she looked at herself.

No matter how boastful the city lord is, the NPCs have new guests coming to their door.

·

When Bai Rou and her best friend got up and went downstairs, they felt that the distance from their home to the door had become farther.

When I walked to the entrance of the residential area, I found that the city had changed. It was no longer the same city as before. It was simply the city where I used to live.

My round-faced bestie exclaimed, "Oh my god, the city lord upgraded the city-state. Now we're a level four city-state. I wonder if we'll be the first in Yangshan City to do so."

Bai Rou thought about how many residents had come here recently, and each of them had city-state contribution requirements, so they must have accumulated enough resources, so they upgraded directly this time.

"I don't know if it's the first one in Yangshan City. Let's go see if there are any new stores."

Every time the city-state is upgraded, the city lord will basically open a new type of store.

As they walked, they saw that the street did not become wider directly, but instead had driveways and pedestrian paths, just like in the old cities.

It's just that this part has been simplified. It's not as complicated as it looked before. Even someone like Bai Rou who hasn't taken a driving test can tell which lane to take.

Finally, they found that the city was too vast, so they took out their bicycles and rode slowly to look at the shops on both sides.
