Chapter 149 Please show your attitude
Perhaps these orcs from the Southern Continent did have some crystals in their hands, but it was absolutely impossible for them to take out two hundred level ten crystals in one go, right?
Manager Ma Xiang has been keeping an eye on Ji Liang. This male is young after all. He clenched his hands under the table and lowered his eyes, not daring to look at him.
It's obvious at first glance that they lack confidence, otherwise how could they have the deed to the shop but not even dare to enter the door?
He also asked the people of the Hexi tribe, and they found out that they had agreed to give this shop to a saintly woman, but the saintly woman gave it away for some unknown reason.
Not to mention Si Shuo's family, even he, who had been the manager of the shop for so many years, had only made a hundred or eighty level ten crystals.
While Manager Ma Xiang was thinking, Ji Liang chuckled and said, "In fact, I prefer you Grey Parrots to continue renting the shops. After these five years, we will be able to see the rent.
Tsk, maybe I really don’t understand business very well. I calculated the rental cost of two hundred level ten crystals on my fingers.
But seeing that your business is so prosperous, we are looking forward to earning 540 level 10 crystals per year in the future!"
Si Shuo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I think we don't know how to do business, and it would be a waste to take back the shop.
Just think about the fact that we can earn thirty level 10 crystals every month, which is much more than what we can earn by opening our own shop. I can wake up laughing in my dreams..."
Manager Ma Xiang's face darkened. He was in a dilemma. "Everyone, eat first. I will send someone to discuss this with our clan leader and elders. This is our clan's property. I, as a manager, cannot make the decision."
He stood up, called a young man, and gave him some instructions. The young man immediately transformed into a beast, flapped his wings, and flew towards the tribe.
Si Shuo whispered to Ji Liang: "Ji Liang, let's go first. The Beast City is so big anyway, they can't find us.
We will collect the rent in five years..."
As she spoke, she anxiously pulled Ji Liang's hand, waved to Zhi Qi and was about to leave.
Manager Ma Xiang loved to see them panicking, so he blocked their way with a smile, "Where are you going? We, the Grey Parrot Tribe, really want to buy a shop.
If you leave, I will have a hard time explaining to our clan leader and elders.
Don't worry, it won't take you long!"
He also ordered wontons for Si Shuo and the others, and added a portion of dumplings wrapped in honey-stuffed flower petals. He asked them where they lived, how they made a living in Guangshou City, etc.
The truth was that he knew too little about them, and the people from the Hexi tribe didn't say much, only mentioning that they were new to the city and had no roots.
Ji Liang didn't say anything, but just turned his head to watch Si Shuo eat, obviously afraid of saying too much and making more mistakes.
The smile on Manager Ma Xiang's face grew even bigger.
As soon as Si Shuo ate a bowl of dumplings, the orcs from the Grey Parrot tribe arrived.
Manager Ma Xiang hurried over. While keeping an eye on Si Shuo and the others for fear that they might escape, they discussed whether to continue renting the shop or to take it over in one fell swoop.
"We can't deal with the people of the Hexi tribe, but we are not afraid of these newcomers! If we don't take action now, are we going to wait for their little female to recruit two high-level beast husbands with good backgrounds to support them?"
"Fortunately, I anticipated this situation in advance and deliberately told the people of the Hexi tribe that the five-year rent was two thousand level ten crystal cores. I was afraid that I would encounter a cruel and unreasonable landlord who could afford the rent and wanted to drive us away!"
Hearing the elder in charge of rent payment say this, Manager Ma Xiang felt relieved. "Oh, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and call the adults from the Contract Management Office to get the rent back together! Two thousand level ten crystal cores, wow, that's twenty level twelve crystal stones."
This number is not something that can be thrown around casually in any family or tribe in Guangshou City.
For these orcs who have just moved into Guangshou City and whose highest level is only eleven, they would probably be scared to death just by hearing this, right?
The young man flapped his wings again and went to the deed management office in the west district of the city.
Soon, the Yinglong orcs and the lion orcs from the Qiguan Office came running to the market with a dozen or so orcs. The orcs along the way retreated in fear, awe and envy.
When they got there, they transformed one after another, releasing the pressure of level 12 or 13 orcs without any regard, with arrogant looks on their faces.
Ji Liang and Zhi Qi protected Si Shuo tightly behind them, their faces were cold but not panicked.
On the surface, Guangshou City strictly abides by the rules. After all, the entire street is filled with orcs, and who knows if there are families or tribes among them that are at odds with them, waiting to find something to hold against them.
Moreover, there is no order without rules. Outside the Beast City, orcs can solve personal grudges in any way they want, even putting the other party to death. But in the Beast City, everyone must act according to the rules. They cannot fight outside the arena, and they cannot bully and kill non-slave orcs at will!
Once an exception is made, the atmosphere of the entire Beast City will be affected, and it will also be a provocation to the authority of the superiors.

No one wants to be the one to be killed to scare the monkeys! Several members of the Grey Parrot tribe came forward and greeted them with a smile, briefly explaining the situation.
"Hey, Master Yuhou, Master Jinsi, now there are more and more orcs who know how to dye coarse cloth with plants, and our clothing styles have also been imitated. Business is becoming more and more difficult.
We are a little short of money and have difficulty in circulating the crystals, so we thought of asking the landlord to refund four years' rent to help us tide over the difficulties.
Once we make a profit, we will continue to pay the rent next year and will definitely not default on it!
Of course, we are willing to use half a year's deposit as compensation to the landlord." They discussed a compromise.
If Ji Liang and his group had crystals, the Grey Parrot Clan could continue to rent a house and also receive a large sum of compensation. After all, the rent stated in the agreement was more than ten times the actual amount.
On the contrary, if Ji Liang and his group did not have crystals, the Grey Parrot Clan could threaten them with high interest rates and force them to use their houses as collateral, and still owe them 1,800 crystals!
Yu Hou, the Yinglong orc, looked at Ji Liang and the others indifferently. The little female was well protected, not even her arms and legs were exposed. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Since the tenant said so, can you show some attitude?"
Ji Liang smiled and nodded: "Of course we agree, but now that we have come to Guangshou City, it doesn't make sense for us to rent out our own shops.
A year later, we took back the shop. Isn't that reasonable? After all, it was the Grey Parrots who broke the contract first."
The orcs of the Grey Parrot Tribe all looked unhappy. With so many of them and so powerful, how could Ji Liang dare to say such things?
Does he really not take the Grey Parrot Clan seriously? Or does he not have that many crystals in his hand, and is just pretending to retreat in order to advance? Jin Si, the self-proclaimed fair lion orc, nodded: "It is reasonable, the agreement is broken, the original agreement is invalid, and the Grey Parrot Clan orcs will no longer enjoy the priority renting treatment."
Ma Xiao, the chief of the Grey Parrot Tribe, smiled and said, "Then please prepare 1,600 level 10 crystal stones. The agreement we signed with the Hexi Tribe has been kept at the Contract Management Office."
When the orcs who were watching heard this number, they couldn't help but gasp. These crystals were enough to buy a large shop!
