Chapter 103 Wind Magic and Express Station 5
Seeing that Brusky's face was getting worse, the guests fell silent.
They lowered their heads, with invisible pressure spreading throughout their bodies, and dared not raise their eyes.
The Central Chamber of Commerce was able to gain a foothold in the mainland, not only because of its geographical advantages, but also because its deputy general manager was extremely resourceful and good at squeezing out competitors.
They remained silent, waiting for Brusky's order.
It takes a thousand days to maintain an army and only a moment to deploy it; this is the role of the guests here.
Sure enough, Brusky sneered, "Since there's something wrong with her shop, let's dig up her employees and find out what's going on."
Only after having employees did I know what was going on with her strange high-level magic stones.
With employees, it would be easy to pry open her business secrets.
He is really eager to try and can't wait.
After saying this, he still felt uneasy. He took out the Wind Magic Stone and threw it to them. "Forget it, double insurance."
Everyone just lowered their heads even deeper.

After countless days of trekking, Ludmila, panting heavily, finally reached the town of Oez. From a distance, the city wall was only a hundred steps away.
He took a sneak peek at the contents of the portable backpack, feeling quite pleased with himself.
He said, it’s best to send it yourself!
What about wind-based teleportation being the safest? That’s all just brainwashing!
He was standing right here, how could he possibly run into thieves? They were all just exaggerating!
Look, there are so many townspeople waiting to enter the city!
While he was thinking, someone next to him tugged at his sleeve and handed him an apple. "Brother, did you move too? Where did you get it from?"
Ludmila subconsciously took two steps back, a little wary. However, she looked at the guards standing by the city wall not far away, and she felt relieved. "I am Duke Qidongsi's."
As he spoke, he sighed at his own cleverness, saying that in a larger town, even if the other party was a thief, they would be wary.
"So it was the Duke who brought it," the man said with a laugh. "Why didn't you use Ankang Town Express to deliver it? You even had to go there in person. That must be tiring."
When Ludmila heard about Ankang Town Express, she was furious. "Come on! What's so good about Ankang Town Express? The lord is a bad person, let alone the express delivery point set up by the lord!"
The other party still smiled and said, "That's good."
"What's good?" Ludmilla thought she had misheard.
The man gave a creepy sneer, "It's a good thing you're not from Ankang Town."
The man suddenly attacked, and with a cold flash, he put a thin and sharp dagger against Ludmila's neck. The blade was so thin and cold that it made him shiver.
"How dare you in broad daylight..." Ludmila's hands were shaking, and she didn't dare to touch the dagger. She could only keep shrinking her neck. When she took a closer look, she found that those "townspeople" were actually robbers.
He actually entered a den of robbers!
"Stop talking nonsense!"
The slap was so loud that Ludmila saw stars.
"Give me money and goods!" The robber's saliva splattered in his face.
Ludmila was being dragged around like a little chicken. "I, I'm from Ankang Town..."
Before he could finish his words, another slap suddenly came at him, like a gust of wind or a flying sword, making him dizzy and his mouth hurt as if it was cracked. The robber's face was like a hideous ghost, grinning as if he wanted to kill him.
"Stop talking nonsense!" the thief said disdainfully.
Do you think he's stupid? How could the people of Ankang Town not protect their lord and the express station?
What fool would not even use his own delivery station and insist on delivering it himself? Are they just bored?
But apart from the guards in Ankang Town and Lin Muqiu, who else were they afraid of?
"Give me money!" The thief pushed the blade forward a few inches.
Ludmila felt a chill on his neck and was filled with regret. With trembling hands, he made up his mind and took out most of the copper coins and handed them to the thief.
The thief snorted coldly, knowing that he was hiding something, and grabbed his neck and was about to break it.
"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!"
Ludmila was so frightened that her teeth were grimacing and she was scared out of her wits. She hurriedly took out the money and gave it to the other party.
The thieves sneered, picked up their backpacks, took away the goods and money, and then continued to pretend to be civilians, waiting for their next prey.
A series of actions were taken openly and without any scruples.
Ludmila looked at the guard not far away in a trance, only to see that the man was making gestures to the thieves and smiling brightly.
He suddenly realized that this group of people were a nest of snakes and rats!
A chill ran through his head, and he realized the horror of the situation. He was so scared that his palms were wet.
He was used to the strict security and the harmonious coexistence of military and civilians in Ankang Town. Who would have thought that other towns could be so terrifying!
Looking at the thieves with fierce looks on their faces, he dared not stay any longer and ran into the city in a panic.
He was scared because he had no money in his pocket and quickly counted how many things he had lost.
Once he counted his expenses, he realized he'd spent far more on his trip than he'd imagined! After calculating everything, he realized he'd lost a lot of money, not to mention being robbed! What a loss!
His face turned pale and he almost fainted.
If he had known this, why didn’t he use the Wind Express Station?

Ever since Lin Muqiu discovered that he was short of manpower, he simply found outstanding students from the Civilian College to work part-time.
In the past, we had to post system messages to find people or post recruitment notices. However, since the Civilian College became a talent incubation base, everything has become much more convenient.
But even with more staff, the store is still very busy.
At this moment, a mess of express deliveries was scattered all over the floor. Many people were queuing outside to send or check their deliveries. The part-time students were so busy that they were almost bald. They could only sigh:
"Mrs. Lin is simply inhumane. It's only been a short time, and she's already got too many orders! If she didn't pay me so much, I wouldn't do this job even if I were beaten to death!"
"Tsk, just be content. Others can't even get it if they want it! We can take turns using the top-tier Wind Magic Stone, and we can also get personal guidance from Master Lin. Isn't this much better than other benefits? Ever since I started working, my level has been rising rapidly. It's so cool!"
"You two are just too complacent. After all, didn't Lady Lin hire us because we were college students and easy to bully and talk to? She's not that kind, she's just using benefits to lure us in!"
The person who was speaking was named Campbell. He was pinching his nose to pack up animal manure and seal it for shipment. This was the fertilizer raw material that the mayors of other towns had specifically requested, and it was very valuable.
However, it was really smelly, which made him dissatisfied with the express packaging.
When the others heard him say this, they all expressed their dissatisfaction with his words:
"When the courier was selecting people from the academy, wasn't it you who took the initiative to sign up?"
"And Lady Lin is also very hardworking. She has to live broadcast and sell goods every day. Sometimes she gives all the money she makes to her subordinates. Why don't you feel tired when you take the money?"
"It's a bit hard, but I make a lot of money. Isn't that great? Is there any place better than this?"
“…”
The more he was scolded, the deeper Campbell's resentment became.
He really didn't know what was the point of working so hard all day just to earn this little money.
There were clearly some precious pearl necklaces and other jewelry in the express delivery. Taking out just one of them would be enough for him to live on for a lifetime.
Especially when the Central Chamber of Commerce extended an olive branch to him.
A cunning glint flashed in his eyes.
This arc of light was quickly caught by the others present. They frowned, silently edited the message, and sent it to Lin Muqiu.

At night, in the town centers of major towns.
[Family, who knows? A level 30 Fire Magic Stone for only 11 silver coins, free shipping! Buy it!]
[Everyone in the livestream, look here! Intermediate recovery potion, can restore 150 health points, 1 silver coin, free shipping, first come, first served, hurry up!]
Straw sandals that increase your agility! They're incredibly useful! Only 20 copper coins, and free shipping is included with orders of 10 or more pairs. Hey guys, I recommend buying some; reselling them is a great deal!
【……】
The recorded magic stone reflected Lin Muqiu's face, and she was smiling brightly as she promoted the product. The most shocking thing was that this was actually a live broadcast.
Her every smile and frown, her gentle whispers, all touch everyone's heart.
Undoubtedly, this thing is called brand effect.
As expected, after every sentence was said, the townspeople in other towns rushed to buy like crazy:
"Holy crap, a Fire Magic Stone! Using it in winter* wouldn't be awesome!"
"The straw sandals are so cheap, I'll definitely make money if I resell them!"
"You bunch of idiots, these are not worth the price at all, why buy them!"
The others couldn't help but look over.
The sarcastic man sneered, but placed the order faster than anyone else, fearing that someone else would get there first.
It turned out to be a ruse!
Everyone exclaimed in shock, how could stealing goods be like a scheme to sow discord?
They were so frightened that they placed the order in a hurry without even seeing what they were buying.
At this moment, Lin Muqiu's private messages were also bombarded with various anxious inquiries:
[Can't you make another one of that red-level equipment? I really like it.]
Can you negotiate the shipping cost for the straw sandals? If the quality is good, I'll come back often.
[Boss, is this a living person? Can you please leave that Fire Magic Stone for me? I'll pay you tomorrow!]
【……】
It has to be said that this model, which is similar to modern online shopping and live streaming, is indeed very eye-catching.
Lin Muqiu only glanced at the content of the private message, then selected all of it with one click, asked Yun Yi to convert it into data, and put it into the [Simulation Training Room] of the Civilian Academy, and let his couriers extract and identify it themselves.
In other words, to some extent, she achieved data sharing and transmission.
The system said it was numb. It really didn't know whether Lin Muqiu was an expert at finding bugs. Anyway, she did everything that others couldn't do.
Including this so-called live broadcast.
How did the host do it?
She also opened simulation training rooms in every other town, and imported real-time data into them during the evening live broadcast, and then let the magic stone absorb it on the spot.
The result is what is called "live streaming".
Haha, the system laughed.
The most infuriating thing is that the data about the magic stone being able to absorb more energy was sent out by it itself using the management system.
It was really stupid. It only knew that as long as the law of conservation of energy was not violated, the host could not cheat, but it did not know that the host did not need a reason to cheat.
This life is unbearable, even the main system is on her side!
Is this fair? It's going on strike!
It wants to curse Yun Yi, that bastard, to death!
It was about to roar when it heard Lin Muqiu say, "Don't say anything yet. My courier station employee sent me a message. If you have nothing else to do, go and fix the data. The data has been collapsing these past two days because of the delivery."
system:……
