Chapter 135 The Miser



It turned out that a huge invisible tent suddenly appeared above the trading area. The invisible tent covered most of the sky above the trading area, as if dispersing the heat in the air.

【Product: Invisible Tent】

【Introduction: It can protect an area from normalization under various special weather conditions. 】

How did this invisible tent come about?

Just as this thought came to mind, the two of them had already put on heat-resistant gear and walked towards the trading area.

Zhou Bai knew very well that something must have happened during this period of time that she didn't know about.

As soon as he approached, Zhou Bai saw Bayer and Virgil beside him.

Zhou Bai's eyes flickered.

The situation of the entire territory is basically under her control. This suddenly appearing tent is probably related to Virgil, the undead NPC who had just been summoned.

Bayer and Virgil also noticed Zhou Bai and walked towards her.

...

...

"Village chief." Bayer called.

"This is..." Zhou Bai asked directly, pointing at the tent.

"This is my merchant equipment." Virgil took the initiative to say, "I was wandering around the territory this morning and saw that it was very lively here, so I came over. I didn't expect that even in this hot weather, there would be people trading. My equipment is just suitable for this place, so I took it out and used it."

As Virgil spoke, his expression was somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect to be hired.

Then he learned from the residents that a team had returned from the town of Benguela yesterday, bringing back countless new and exotic magical goods that they couldn't wait to buy.

Where there is demand, there is a market.

Those small teams that come back from outside naturally have to produce products as soon as possible.

They knew that in the future there would be mercenary teams from the town of Benguela coming here. Compared to their foundation, their small teams were obviously much inferior, so they naturally had to seize the market before the other side invaded and convert their stockpiled goods into currency.

Therefore, even in hot weather, they still have to set up stalls and open shops.

Of course, the most important thing is that they have already experienced several special weather shocks and have been constantly adapting to environmental changes.

Even if there is an impact, they know it is limited.

Traveling to far places might require heat-resistant gear, but within the territory, many residents can still endure it.

It's worth losing a few points of health in just a few steps.

Otherwise, you can use your own hat, which can also provide some shielding effect.

Therefore, countless residents flocked into the trading area, making it lively.

Virgil knew the inside story and thought of all his equipment, which naturally came in handy.

After borrowing the equipment, he immediately received a lot of thanks and also got a lot of small gifts.

It’s not expensive, but it’s the hope of the villagers.

Just because of this small detail, he fell in love with this place.

He took out this equipment just for a preliminary test, and he was very satisfied with the result!

After Zhou Bai understood the situation, he said to Virgil, "Thank you, but are there any restrictions on the use of your equipment? What do you need? I'll supply it for you."

It has to be said that this invisible tent does bring considerable benefits to Hope Village.

People have made voluntary contributions, so she, as the lord, must also perform well.

"No, it just consumes some magic points." Virgil said nonchalantly, but deep down he was happy that Zhou Bai understood his "good intentions".

Zhou Bai listened, paused, and directly gave Virgil a few potions to restore magic power, "Can you use these?"

Virgil looked at the potions with a hint of hesitation.

Bayer, who was watching this scene, said directly: "Take it! This is a reward from the territory."

He understood Zhou Bai's character.

The most important thing is that Zhou Bai can easily win Virgil's favor by doing this.

As a famous businessman in the Kingdom of the Dead, Virgil was summoned to Hope Village, which was also the village's luck. He naturally hoped that Virgil could do his best in Hope Village.

After hearing this, Virgil accepted it and looked at Zhou Bai and said, "Thank you!"

"I should be the one to thank. Are you adapting to the territory?" Zhou Bai continued to ask.

The man in front of her is the only businessman in the territory. This profession is also "scarcity makes it valuable", so she still has the responsibility to care more about him.

"Not bad." Virgil nodded.

It is completely different from the impression of human territory. It shows novelty everywhere and contains immense potential and is full of business opportunities.

"This is my mother, Ding Qiurou, who is also the current manager of the territory warehouse. She was also indirectly responsible for the merchandise in the grocery store before. There will definitely be work interactions between you in the future, and I hope you can teach her more." Zhou Bai said sincerely.

After what happened in the town of Benguela, she has increasingly seen the gap between her territory and other territories. If she wants to narrow the gap, she needs more people who can support the territory.

Such people should not only be from our own country, but also from their Blue Planet.

Compared with local personnel, they lack the foundation of understanding of the world.

But they can learn and enrich their knowledge through learning.

Virgil was a businessman, a capable one at that, and anything she could learn from him would be enough for her mother to digest.

What you learn is yours.

"Let's learn from each other. I've looked at the merchandise currently sold in the grocery store. They're all quite suitable, except for some places that need to be adjusted." Virgil glanced at Ding Qiurou and said in a complimentary tone.

You still have to be polite to the lord's mother.

Ding Qiurou looked at Virgil's sincere expression and smiled, "You can handle the areas that need adjustment. When the time comes, just notify me to pick up the inventory."

"Um."

"Do you need to adjust anything now? Should I go with you to take a look?" Ding Qiurou continued to ask.

"...Okay." Virgil looked at Ding Qiurou, who looked like she was about to start working, and paused. But seeing that Zhou Bai and Bayer had no objection, he agreed.

Then the two of them walked towards the grocery store together.

Watching them leave, Bayer said to Zhou Bai, "Virgil is a very famous businessman in the Kingdom of the Dead, and he is also a wealthy man. I have heard of one thing."

"Um?"

"If the wealth of the Kingdom of the Dead is counted, Virgil alone has one third! It is the luck of the territory that you can summon him."

Zhou Bai: “…”

——Is your background so powerful?

"Of course, he has a bigger reputation, that of a miser. That's because once someone buys something from him, he won't accept returns or exchanges, no matter what the problem is with the product."

As Zhou Bai listened, the other party's miserable appearance when he summoned him in the morning emerged in his mind.

I understood it instantly!

But a problem immediately emerged.

"So he's in charge of the grocery store now, is that okay?"

Bayer: "It's possible! After all, the things sold in the grocery store are related to food, drink and housing, and they are not easy to return or exchange, so it's perfect."

"Um."

"The most important thing is his rich business knowledge. Now that he has just arrived, we don't need to rush. Let's wait until he adapts." Bayer hinted, "It's just like what we do with Hope Village."

When they first came to Hope Village, all they wanted was to return to human society.

Now, they regard it as their territory and their home.

He thought that with the atmosphere of Hope Village, it was only a matter of time before Virgil became a complete resident of Hope Village.

Once you become a member of Hope Village, the situation will be different.

Bayer's little calculations are working very well.

Zhou Bai listened and coughed lightly to show his approval.

Kidnapping talents to become members of Hope Village is itself a long-term plan of Hope Village.
