Chapter 126
The alliance was put on hold, as they hadn't received their second-place reward yet.
There are three boxes to choose from. The first box is 10,000 guild contribution points (or group experience points) + 1,000 gold coins, the second is 10,000 gold coins + 1,000 guild contribution points (or group experience points), and the third is a guild residence with a certain bonus for the living area.
It was obvious that the awards for the team competition were mainly given to guilds. Everyone looked around and was a little unsure which one to choose.
They are not a lifestyle guild, so the demand for the third option of settlement is not that high. But the problem is that they also have lifestyle players among them, such as the pharmacist Riding a Donkey to Watch a Turtle, the cook Yun Yao, the cameraman Mingyue Fusu, and the blacksmith and engineer Xia Mo.
Whatever they usually do, they usually complete it in the guild's living area.
If the living area can provide them with bonuses, the finished products they produce will benefit the entire guild.
But once you choose this, it means that all combat players will give in to life players.
Because if you don't choose the third one and choose the first one, the guild can get 10,000 contribution points, which is enough to allow Qingyao, who is currently level 3, to rush straight to level 4.
After the guild level is increased, the benefits provided to its members will also be improved. For example, the attack will automatically increase from the original +3% to +4%, and the same applies to defense.
Of course, you can also choose the second one - money.
But compared with the first and third, 10,000 gold coins is not a lot of money in the eyes of Qingyao Zhishang now, so everyone's attention is still on 1 and 3.
"Qingshui, which one should I choose? They all seem suitable."
"Yeah, why don't we consider Qilu Kanwangba and the others? He spends every day in that filthy living quarters, it's too miserable. So, this is a good opportunity to improve their living and working conditions."
This is the good thing about the members of Qingyaozhishang. When faced with interests, the first thing they think about is not how to use it for themselves, but to consider satisfying the needs of others first.
How could Xia Mo bear to leave such a harmonious and friendly family?
"Let's choose 1." She stepped forward to suggest it amidst the chatter. "Our guild is small, so the rate at which contribution points accumulate has always been slower than other guilds. To earn 10,000 points, it would take everyone working at full capacity for almost two months. And that's even after counting all the heads."
"In reality, it's impossible for guild members to be online all the time. Some people just come in to hang out and never do any guild missions."
"So if we rely on ourselves, it will take at least four months to reach level 4."
In 4 months, many guilds have been promoted. Qingyao can’t just keep going up and then stagnate, right?
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that it made sense.
"Then let's go with 1! 1 is better!"
"Yes, yes, since we have this opportunity to move up directly, we can't waste it!"
After everyone nodded in unison, they finally chose 1.
10,000 contribution points were directly credited to Qingshui's account, but he did not choose to upgrade immediately.
"After I choose the guild base in the next two days, I will upgrade."
Everyone nodded their chins: "Understood!"
Guilds at level 4 and above need to choose their own locations and purchase land. Although this costs a lot of money, everyone's faces suddenly light up when they think that they no longer have to run to separate servers and can have their own real home.
"I'll give you an answer about the alliance within three days, okay?"
Not forgetting the request from Heiyu Qingtian, Qingshui walked over and asked politely.
"Can."
Heiyu Qingtian nodded slightly, and then, under the surprised gaze of the White-Faced Ghost, he led everyone away.
The individual competition had not yet ended, and Xia Mo was eager to try. She returned to Xiaozhong Island to sign up, but the NPC told her that she had already participated in this event and could not participate again.
Well, it seems that I am destined to miss the individual award~
Xia Mo shrugged, felt a little regretful for two seconds, then turned around and put the matter behind him.
Today's city mission has not been completed yet, so she has to hurry back to Huangs City to complete the three sets of missions.
An hour later, she successfully completed the task, and the city lord Feisali kindly reminded her that the new year was about to begin and asked if she was interested in opening a shop in the city.
Oh yes, when this was mentioned, Xia Mo remembered that she had been doing city tasks for half a year without realizing it.
"Let me check the resident honor points first."
Without rushing to agree to the city lord's invitation, she first opened her personal panel to check the points data.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. When he did, even Xia Mo was shocked.
She has actually accumulated 5150 honor points!
Enough to get various tax exemption policies!
His eyebrows immediately curved, and he asked the city lord: "What city policies can I enjoy at present?"
*
Under the guidance of the NPC, Xia Mo visited all the core areas of Huangs City. Finally, she pointed to a vacant shop on the city plan.
"Rent this."
The NPC grinned from ear to ear and hurriedly handed over the contract and related documents.
These contracts were officially drafted and would not cheat players, so Xia Mo signed them boldly and then paid six months' rent and three months' deposit.
After that, I went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to apply for a business license.
She planned to sell synthetic ores such as tin ingots and copper ingots, some semi-finished parts, and finished equipment. These items were quite miscellaneous, so the Industrial and Commercial Bureau finally issued her a business license [for groceries only].
Groceries, doesn't sound very high-end.
But it’s okay. Xia Mo believes that once her products are officially on the shelves, word of mouth will gradually build up.
After completing all the formalities, she returned to the shop door.
This is a shop located on the main road of the commercial district. It is not big, only 6 square meters, but it has a good location. You can see it as long as you walk in this direction.
This is the advantage of opening a store early, you can choose a good location at will.
Besides that, her rent wasn't expensive, as she met the requirements for a 20% discount, reducing her original monthly rent of 1,400 gold to just 1,120 gold. Furthermore, she was one of the first residents to join the city of Huangs, qualifying for the "First Resident" status, which exempted her from another 150 gold.
After all these reductions, she only had to pay 970 gold per month! This saved her a full 430 gold compared to others.
Xia Mo walked around the store and found that the newly rented store was still in its infancy.
There is only one cabinet and chair in the store, the walls are gray, and there are no hangings. The sign outside the store is also gray, with the words "No. 101" written in small black letters. The overall feeling is that it looks shabby.
After all, it is open for business, so the decoration still needs to be improved.
The shop system was automatically launched in the background after she signed all the contracts. Now she only needs to spend some money and choose one-click upgrade, and the store will be completely new.
It costs 2,000 gold to upgrade from beginner to intermediate level, which is not a small amount, but for Xia Mo now, it is completely affordable and he doesn't feel bad about it.
So I chose to upgrade.
A colorful light flowed through the store, and after a few seconds, the store became much cleaner and brighter. There were two more floor cabinets, placed sideways on the shorter wall, and one more chair.
The font style of the sign at the door has also become more beautiful, and it can be seen at a glance that it was specially designed.
It’s just that “No. 101” sounds too ugly, it needs to be changed.
Xia Mo held his chin and thought for a while, then raised his hand to make changes.
[[Ink Grocery Store] modified successfully! ]
Very satisfied with his own shop, Xia Mo looked at it with a smile and began to take out the things in the spare backpack one by one.
Today is the last day of the old year. On this day with special significance, Xia Mo stayed in the game until 11:59 pm.
Almost there.
Xia Mo looked at the time and clicked on the prop that had been prepared long ago - a small loudspeaker.
Ding~ At exactly 12 o'clock, the bells rang in all the cities on the mainland, colorful fireworks bloomed over the cities, the streets and alleys were brightly lit, candles flickered, and the world channel began to flash words such as "Happy New Year" and "Wishing you a happy new year".
The continent of Pergas welcomes the new year with the most prosperous attitude.
At this moment when the streets were deserted, a small trumpet suddenly flew over everyone's heads.
[Mo Se: Our shop [Mo Se Grocery Store] is open now, 20% off for all new customers. Limited stock, first come, first served.]
Players: Hmm???
Ink? Is that the ink color they understand?
