Chapter 105 Wind Magic and Express Station 7
Seeing the other party's hesitation, Bruch quickly said, "I can draw the map. All you have to do is pay me."
Brusky raised the corners of his lips.
Otherwise, these people from small towns are just narrow-minded. That is a strategic map, how can its value be measured by money?
He raised his eyebrows and gave a look to the servant next to him, the mockery in his eyes was self-evident.
The servant was also trying to suppress his laughter, and like him, his eyes were full of contempt.
Bruchi took in the entire scene, his expression unchanged. "So, sir, will you buy it? You can't afford it, right?"
"How is that possible?" Brusky said with disdain. "How much?"
Bruchi smiled and held up two fingers.
Brusky scoffed, "Oh, only two gold coins?"
"No, two gold coins a centimeter."
Bruschi:?
The corner of his mouth twitched. "Are all the measurement standards in Ankang Town so strange?"
Bruchi's smile remained unchanged. "I don't know how long it will take, so I certainly can't buy it all at a flat price. My Lord, you are well-informed. You must be aware of the importance of strategic maps, right?"
Bruschi: “…”
Suddenly I felt like an arrow hit my knee.
Bruce slammed ten gold coins onto the table. "There's nothing in the world that the Central Chamber of Commerce can't afford! It's only two gold coins a centimeter, isn't it? I'll pay!"
Bruchi glanced at the 10 gold coins and said, "Sir, that's not what I meant. The main thing is... 10 gold coins may not be enough."
Bruschi: “…”
Three hours later, he looked at the strategic map that was longer than the entire castle and was in a mess.
…
In the end, Bruschi paid the balance.
Paying the money is a small matter. If you really anger the other party and they don’t want to be a spy anymore, then that would be troublesome!
But he was not a brainless person, so he resolutely ran to verify with Lin Muqiu's other store employees.
"Is this map drawn correctly?" Brusky pointed to the map to show the clerk.
This clerk was very shaken when he was trying to rebel yesterday.
The clerk nodded. "That's right."
As soon as he finished speaking, the clerk looked terrified and said, "What? Even he was persuaded to rebel?"
Bruschi was very satisfied with the clerk's expression.
Yes, we should worship him, respect him and fear him in this way.
So he raised the corners of his lips and said, "So you can see that only by joining me can you get a better way out."
The clerk nodded vigorously. "Your Excellency is right! How about this? I'm in charge of logistics. I can steal the Wind Magic Stones from the store and sell them to you at a low price. I wish you success in opening your shop!"
Bruschi:?
Why is there another person who wants to sell him something?
He couldn't help but twitch his lips. Are all the people here possessed by Lin Muqiu?!
But after thinking about it carefully, Bruschi felt it made sense.
Isn't it just a matter of replicating the shop? With a map and a large number of Philosopher's Stones, and someone to deliver them, wouldn't everything be fine?
Besides, instigating rebellion requires bribery and winning people's hearts. As long as it succeeds, what does this little money matter?
So he nodded, "Okay."
Well prepared · Part-time salesman job · Excited · The clerk suddenly opened his coat, revealing more than fifty Philosopher's Stones hanging inside. "How many would you like, sir?"
Bruschi:?
He asked suspiciously, "How come you have so many Philosopher's Stones?"
The clerk snapped his coat shut and put on a heartbroken expression. "Sir, didn't you invite me to work in Ankang Town? So I decided to go all out and steal all the Philosopher's Stones in stock! Isn't it too much to ask for some guarantees beforehand?"
“Not too much.”
Bruschi even felt that he was being aggressive at this moment and quickly patted the clerk on the shoulder.
He examined the magic stone and felt a little disappointed. "The quality is good, but it's a pity that these are all level 50. Aren't there any higher levels?"
"Sir, higher-level Philosopher's Stones are harder to steal," the clerk sighed. "I'll give you a fair price! 40 silver coins each. If you want them, take them. If not, I'll sell them on the black market!"
"How much?" Bruschi stammered.
"40 silver coins."
How could such a good thing happen in this world?!
You know, in the imperial capital, you need 50 silver coins to buy these!
Brusky scooped up the items in his arms, like he was protecting a cub, his eyes wide open. "Okay! I'll buy them all!"
The basic nature of a businessman is greed, and he is no exception. When he sees something good and cheap, it is always right to take it away.
He happily paid the money, even using his own private money. He could make a fortune by reselling the smuggled goods in the future.
He had even begun to imagine the admiring expressions of the people in the Central Chamber of Commerce after he made a fortune.
"Okay." The clerk's eyes lit up, and the matter was settled.

Then, after Bruschi bought hush money, voice stones, live courses, and even the [Lin Muqiu Success Manual] from the third, fourth, fifth, and even more store clerks, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt satisfied.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!
A hint of viciousness flashed across his face, and his brows were full of hostility.
Lin Muqiu, it’s time to replace you with someone else sitting on the throne of the Eastern Overlord!
He tore open the space transmission and prepared to lurk in the express delivery route according to the strategic map and set an ambush.
While teleporting, he couldn't help but think that these employees were spineless after all. They were actually moved by such a small favor!
The next second, with a splash, he and the guards all fell into the river.
Bruschi:?
Guard: ???
No, these Ankang store employees are quite vindictive.
The cold water gushed into their lungs, and their cries for help startled the birds in the sky, making them fly away in panic.
After they struggled to climb out of the freezing river, Brusky was shivering with cold and couldn't help cursing, "These bitches actually dared to play tricks on me! I want them dead!"
The guards around him were trembling and unable to support him, unable to take care of themselves. The suffocation was particularly severe in their throats, making them cough repeatedly and their cheeks turned pale.
It was so scary, they almost drowned!
Bruskey gritted his teeth and subconsciously touched the storage necklace, only to be relieved when he found that it was not lost.
Suddenly he thought of something and his heart trembled with pain.
Aren’t these things fake too?!
This had completely depleted his personal savings, which he had saved up bit by bit!
"Go check—" He almost gritted his teeth.
The guards did not dare to delay and quickly took the goods to check.
During this time, Bruschi pinched his neck, trying to soothe the choking sensation. Inadvertently, his fingers touched the space necklace, and a sound popped out from it:
[Lin Muqiu's Guide to Success, Chapter 1.
Preparations for the Wind Magic Stone Shop: You'll need a suitable amount of Magic Stones for teleportation, a number of Voice Stones for communicating with the shop staff, and a Magic Stone with a live class installed to attract other townspeople and expand your territory.
Well, not bad, at least Lin Muqiu is doing a good job in spreading knowledge.
Bruschi thought so.
[Most importantly, we need a number of store employees and excellent managers.]
Isn't that what he is? An excellent manager.
Bruschi finally felt a little comforted.
[Managers are particularly important. To succeed in practicing the first form, one must first castrate oneself.
Beep...! (Electronic music)
Bruschi: ???
What the hell?
With a chuckle, many servants around couldn't help laughing.
"Shut up!"
Bruschi exploded, and he stood up and tried to extinguish the fire, but found that it would not go out.
The voice repeated:
[To succeed in practicing the first form, you must first castrate yourself—beep…!]
Bruschi had never suffered such a humiliation before, and he yelled, "Fuck it!!!"
As he was cursing, the servant sent to check the goods came running over.
"My lord, there is good news and bad news!"
"What?" Brusky gritted his teeth and cautiously took two steps back. "You speak first."
He didn't want to embarrass himself anymore.
"The good news is," the attendant panted, "the goods are real."
Brusky breathed a sigh of relief.
That's fine. The emperor can sell things for 50 silver coins anyway, so it's not a loss to buy it for 40 silver coins.
"What about the bad news?" he asked.
Servant: "Buy it at Lin Muqiu's shop, it only costs 20 silver coins! These magic stones are currently unavailable in other places. People would rather ask their acquaintances in Ankang Town to buy them cheaply and have them shipped to them than buy them in the local market."
Bruschi:!
The attendant hadn't finished speaking yet: "My lord, but fortunately, if you buy it in the major live broadcast rooms in the east, it's only 27 silver coins with free shipping!"
Bruschi:!!!
He felt his head buzzing. "So what's good about it?"
The attendant pursed his lips and said, "Sir, this will make you look less at a disadvantage."
Bruschi: “…”
*
At this moment, in Lin Muqiu's store, the shop assistants who made money gathered together to share their joy:
"I made a killing!" the clerk's eyes gleamed. "I sold them a Philosopher's Stone for 40 silver coins, which was supposed to be 20. I made a profit of 20 silver coins!"
"You call that a profit?" another clerk laughed. "You should learn from Bruchi, who made two gold coins per meter of map!"
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile." Bruchi squinted his eyes and smiled. "You guys have made a lot of money. The sound transmission stone was so cheap, but you tricked him into spending so much money on it."
"Ah..." everyone sighed, "Luckily I didn't quit my job, and I can still enjoy the good life with Master Lin! It's a pity that good things like this don't happen often!"
"Fortunately, I have a broad mind. Otherwise, for such a small profit, I would have lost the support of Master Lin. That would have been a real loss!"
"Tsk, just forget it. Weren't you tempted at first?"
“You’re talking bullshit!”
“…”
Everyone was having fun when a voice suddenly sounded from behind:
"Okay, just be happy about the money you made, and don't go out and tell anyone about it, or you'll make others jealous. Be more careful recently, because those people might retaliate, and I haven't finished dealing with them yet."
The shop assistants turned around suddenly, ecstatic.
Oh my goodness, the manager is here!
The shop assistants came forward, only to see Lin Muqiu still smiling gently, "By the way, let's end this matter here. Don't discuss it anymore, lest others think we are a scam."
Shop assistants: “…”
Lord Lin, do you really have the nerve to say that?
Didn’t you write “Lin Muqiu’s Guide to Success”?
