Chapter 166
"Won't it affect your business if so many items are taken off the shelves?"
Inside the grocery store, several people from Stone, who had witnessed how unreasonable the Three of Diamonds was, stood up and asked Xia Mo with concern.
Just now they saw several rows of goods being returned. Maybe there were things in there that the captain needed. Now that the containers are empty, will other players come to buy?
There was worry in their eyes, but the owner Xia Mo was very calm.
"No problem. By the way, aren't you guys looking for accessories to improve your accuracy? I have some here. Take a look."
Not taking the Three of Diamonds incident seriously at all, Xia Mo smiled and led them to the side container, took out something from inside and showed it to them.
"Primary scope, take a look."
Shi Tou and the others lowered their heads to take a look, and their eyes lit up instantly.
"Wow, it's a scope!"
"Captain, this is great! It can increase your hit rate by 10%!"
Several heads gathered together and croaked.
"Boss Mo, how much is this?"
Xia Mo smiled: "550 gold."
"What? The price has gone up?" Shitou jerked his head up. "I remember it was only 500 gold when I bought it in January!"
Xia Mo remained calm: "Yes, you also said that was the price in January."
The prices on the continent of Pergas have been rising slightly every month. It only rose to 550 gold in April, which is not excessive at all.
Hearing what she meant, Shitou groaned in embarrassment, "Yeah, I forgot that was three months ago. Okay, Captain, do you want to buy it? We can pool our money and give it to you!"
At first glance, Shitou and his companions are ordinary players, with average levels and equipment. Naturally, they don't have much money in their accounts, so they have to rely on friends to pool money to buy accessories.
Xia Mo didn't think this was a shameful thing. On the contrary, she was relieved that the captain had such a warm-hearted friend.
When traveling in the world, it is a very happy thing to have friends to help you.
She had no chance to experience it before, and was stabbed in the back instead. Now that she is reborn, she chooses Qingyao first and goes straight to her, and only then does she truly feel what friendship is.
No matter how many people slandered and defamed her outside, as long as she returned to Qingyaozhishang, she knew that her friends behind her would stand up and speak for her.
This was something she had never dared to think about before, but now she can tell herself calmly, don't worry, you are no longer alone.
She has this confidence, and this confidence comes from Qingyao Zhishang and from every friend who trusts her.
While Xia Mo was distracted for a moment, Shi Tou and the others quickly gathered the gold coins and bought the primary scope. Those who got numbers later came in one after another and bought what they needed.
However, as time went on, the grocery store had fewer and fewer items. When it was the 10th player's turn, the other player walked in, looked around, and looked very disappointed.
"Why is there only so much left?" he asked half-unhappily and half-regretfully.
Xia Mo smiled faintly: "The goods will be delivered soon. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait. I will ask the people behind to come in."
Number 10 thought about it and realized that there was nothing he wanted in the container, so he walked to the side and made way: "Okay, you call the one in the back."
No. 11 and No. 12 entered the store one after another, and all of them showed disappointed expressions.
"Boss Mo, you have so little stuff, how dare you put out 200 accounts?" Player No. 12 shook his head, expressing his incomprehension.
Xia Mo glanced at the dialog box and continued to smile: "Almost there, wait another minute."
The three of them looked at each other, and finally thought, they had finally got the number and had waited for so long, so one minute wouldn't make a difference, so they put their hands in their pockets and said they could wait.
One minute later, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps and voices outside the store. The three people turned their heads and were startled.
"Oh my god! What the hell?"
Outside the grocery store, people who were originally queuing up moved aside to make way for newcomers.
Shen Wuyou walked at the front of the crowd, followed by a large group of people and two horses pulling goods. There were seven or eight large boxes piled on the carriage, all tied tightly with ropes to prevent them from falling.
Looking at this situation, if you don’t know, you might think someone is going to the front line to deliver supplies!
Wuyou Pavilion has a lot of fame among the player community. As soon as the president Shen Wuyou appeared, the players in the queue immediately started talking about it.
"Aren't these people from the Life Guild? What are they doing here?"
"Didn't you see the goods Wuyou was pulling behind him? I guess he was delivering goods to Boss Mo?"
"Oh my god! This is so impressive!"
"Who says it's not? If I were black, I would be so happy."
He was definitely happy, but Xia Mo was not surprised.
She had long expected Wuyou to come in person, so when the player asked what to do if the product was out of stock, she was calmer than anyone else.
Everyone in Wuyou Pavilion knew that Block Three was a rubbish person. Xia Mo guessed that Wuyou might have some connection with Block Three, so he didn't dare to fire Block Three at will, and therefore tolerated him again and again.
Finally, they could no longer tolerate him and expelled him from the guild.
This happened in her previous life, so what if she took the initiative to create an opportunity in this life?
For example, if he lets Diamond Three make a big deal out of the grocery store purchase, preferably making it known to everyone, then Wuyou might take this opportunity to get rid of him for the sake of the overall situation.
Facts have proved that Xia Mo made the right move.
Wuyou is not afraid to kick people, but he lacks the right opportunity.
Now that she has brought the opportunity to Wuyou, isn't it a natural thing for him to take over the baton?
After kicking away the Three of Diamonds, Wuyou's next step will definitely be to restore his relationship with her.
Wuyou Pavilion is famous for its side jobs in life, relying on the evaluation and reputation passed back by combat players.
But it is not easy to gain such a good reputation. There are so many Protoss Life players, countless NPCs, and similar guilds emerging in an endless stream. It is not easy for them to gain a foothold in this continent full of competitors.
In fact, before this year, Wuyou Pavilion’s reputation among players was not very high, and the reason for that was very simple - Three of Diamonds.
On several occasions, Wuyou Pavilion was "honored" on the forum because of the rampant Three of Diamonds, and its reputation almost plummeted to the bottom. Fortunately, the president Wuyou came forward to apologize and resolve the issue, and the guild's reputation was barely preserved.
The real rise of Wuyou Pavilion's reputation was during the battle for the continent a month ago.
The battle between Border Line No. 2 in the north and Winterhunting City was the first to break out. The ice resistance potions that the players drank before rushing there all came from Wuyou Pavilion.
Later, in the battle of Silvermoon Maple Forest on the eastern front, they provided hundreds of millions of bottles of antidote potions to the players; in the battle of Lake Isenda on the western front, they refined magic potions on the spot while sending people to transport them to the ice ahead. The whole process was efficient, calm, and orderly.
It can be said that without their logistical support, there would be no brave resistance and victory for the frontline players.
After that battle, Wuyou Pavilion became famous all over the world!
The fact that he was able to receive such a high honor was inseparable from Xia Mo's words before the war: "Wuyou Pavilion is capable of providing logistical support."
Shen Wuyou never thought that among all the life guilds, she would choose him by name.
Although the burden on their shoulders was heavy, fortunately, they all lived up to their mission and successfully completed it! They also successfully secured the title of "Wuyou Pavilion" as the number one lifestyle group.
It can be said that without her trust, there would be no Wuyou Pavilion today.
Shen Wuyou faced everyone's surprised gazes and stood in front of the grocery store: "Mo Se, I apologize to you on behalf of the Three of Diamonds. This is our Wuyou Pavilion's apology gift. I hope you can accept it."
After saying that, he raised his hand, and the members following behind the carriage moved quickly, lifted the box to the ground, and opened it on the spot.
A brilliant light burst forth from it, and the onlookers squinted their eyes before they could see what was inside.
"Wow, crystal shield! An accessory that increases defense!"
"Paralyzing potion? There's actually a box of it?"
"A carrot on a stick? I'm so amused that they even have that!"
…
Various props were neatly arranged in seven or eight large boxes, making people around drool.
Xia Mo did not refuse. After all, she was prepared for Wuyou to visit her with the goods. So she smiled politely, nodded, and put all the things into the store with one click.
Players No. 10, 11, and 12 who were waiting earlier were so glad that they didn’t leave, otherwise they would have missed this big wave and regretted it so much!
The variety and quantity of goods Wuyou brought far exceeded Xia Mo's expectations. In the grocery store, the players were dazzled and confused by the choices. They bought this and wanted to buy that. In the end, they only hated why their wallets were not thick enough, otherwise they would definitely buy them all!
Fenghuo stood nearby, amazed at the players' rush to buy the items. He leaned over to Wuyou and whispered, "Guild Leader, I see Mo Se's prices aren't any cheaper than ours, and some are even 10% higher. Why are everyone buying so enthusiastically?"
Wuyou looked at the lively scene in the store and smiled knowingly.
She was about to explain when suddenly, several players holding number plates passed by them.
"Let's just shop here for good stuff from now on. It's much more convenient than the business."
"I agree. The shops only sell common goods. Fine goods are few and far between. Occasionally, there are some new products, but they are instantly snatched up by the people sent by the big guilds. We never get a chance to buy them."
"Me too, I've never been able to snatch anything from the trading house. It's so frustrating!"
"Hiss, I suddenly thought of an idea. Maybe we can contact the people from Wuyou Pavilion privately and ask them to buy it separately?"
When they said this, they didn't notice that the president of Wuyou Pavilion and the administrator Fenghuo were standing next to them and heard their words clearly.
"Buying individually is so troublesome! I've tried it before. The pharmacist they found in their guild was lovely and nice, but it was hard for them to cater to my individual needs. I asked for a few bottles individually, but they thought the quantity was too small. I asked for more, but I couldn't afford it. Think about it, they sell in bulk, so why would they hold back a few bottles just for you?"
"That's true. If I were them, I would definitely mass-produce hundreds of bottles and store them in the store. Whoever needs it can place an order themselves. I don't bother to communicate with others privately and waste time."
"So, it's more convenient to come to the grocery store here! You can buy them in bulk, and you don't have to compete with others. All you need is a number."
Retail, high-quality products, no need to rush to get an account.
A few words flashed into Fenghuo's mind, and he instantly understood why Mo Se could sell things at a high price.
"A unique purchasing channel!" He turned and said to Wuyou.
Wuyou showed a teachable expression: "Yes."
The ink-colored shop, although named an ordinary grocery store, actually sells rare items that are not easy to buy from businesses or NPCs.
For example, the primary scope has a very low drop rate in the wild and in dungeons, and can basically only be made by engineering players.
However, not many people choose this path, and even fewer can learn to an advanced level. Therefore, until now, the number of scopes is far lower than that of the player market.
Now there is such a channel, players only need to pay 10% more than usual to get what they want. As long as the wallet is not particularly tight, basically everyone will choose the Mo Se Grocery Store.
This is Mo Se’s competitive advantage – irreplaceable.
This advantage was also accumulated by her own efforts. Before others realized that they could get discounts for opening a store by completing city tasks, she had already accumulated enough resident honor points to open a store first and occupy the market.
When others followed her example and opened shops in an attempt to make a killing like her, she used her strengths as a blacksmith and engineer to bypass the middlemen and directly manufacture the goods.
Wuyou glanced at Mo Se's current deputy job level. Both forging and engineering were advanced, higher than many members under her. Unless those who opened shops had the ability to surpass her, they would not be able to win in terms of supply.
Every step is planned, every step is a win. At this moment, Wuyou is more convinced that making friends with her is definitely the best thing he has done today.
