Chapter 39 Sandstorm Season 03 Mingzhu invites you, but the cooperation talks fall through. …
The Qingshan Inn was originally short of water, and now the long wind broom has saved them a lot of water needs!
Jiang Ruonian's clear eyes rolled around for a few times, and he said decisively, "From now on, you can enjoy free laundry service when you shop in our store!"
The players were stunned.
I thought Jiang Runian would charge at least 10 or 8 yuan for it, but he actually gave it away for free as an additional benefit? !
In the sandstorm season, this long wind broom is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
The weather during the sandstorm season is extremely hot. You will sweat profusely after walking a few steps outside. The sand is sticky all over your body, and it is very uncomfortable to go home every day. Players have to rely on the settlement for water supply. A large group of people will consume a lot of water for eating and drinking, not to mention washing clothes. Many people can only wipe it with a towel dipped in water to deal with it.
Anyone who doesn’t take advantage of this is a fool!
"Boss Jiang, if you say that, I'll come here every day!"
"Yes, the new cotton suit I bought is comfortable, but it's not that stain-resistant and wrinkle-resistant. I don't have to worry about it now."
"I can also have a hot meal, which is great."
"I have arranged my daily schedule," a player said loudly, "In the morning, I catch the first bus to eat breakfast, then go out to collect food, and come back for three meals to replenish the attribute bonus. In the evening, I take a free bath and wash my clothes, then have a good sleep. When I wake up, I take a bag of food to fight monsters, check out and go home to enjoy it for a few days, and come back after I'm done!"
Thanks to this player’s selfless sharing, Qingshan Inn instantly returned to its top position in the southwest.
The little green buses, which were originally half full, were packed full again from that day on. Even if they had to wait in two or three long lines, many people were still willing to wait for the next bus.
The level 4 inn now has fifteen guest rooms, which is still not enough for the players to stay in. Fortunately, even if you queue up to purchase some cooking pills, you can still make money.
Jiang Runian leaned against the counter, watching wave after wave of players pouring into the inn with a satisfied smile on his face. He had even begun to think about how to implement the new business of "room reservation" - with such a booming business, he couldn't let guests come to grab rooms with dark circles under their eyes every day, right?
The temperature-controlled Qingshan Inn was in full swing, with every seat packed and steam rising from the delicious food on the table.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Like... there's a horse?
Sure enough, a creature that looked like a horse and a camel stopped at the door, and a man in a thin shirt and long pants came down and bowed to her.
"You are Mr. Jiang from Qingshan Inn, right?" The man took out an exquisite letter from the llama's package and handed it over respectfully, "This is a letter from Mingzhu Town."
Suddenly, whispers were heard in the inn, and the players seemed to have heard of this prosperous Pearl Town.
The man was neatly dressed, with an eye with a green pupil embroidered on his back, which probably meant "Eye of the Desert". The llama and pet behind him were also well-maintained, and he looked like a professional messenger.
Jiang Runian was stunned for a moment and took it hesitantly.
She was not surprised that the letter came from Mingzhu Town. After all, Xie Moyue provided some clues, and she could guess that Qingshan Inn would attract the attention of Desert Eye sooner or later. What really shocked her was the profession of the messenger.
The only letter service in the southwest border is realized by Li Fu's supernatural power Xuantian Talisman. At present, the two large settlements have no spare capacity to develop the mail logistics industry, and basically rely on one mouth and one pair of legs to deliver messages. However, Mingzhu Town already has a professional messenger who can deliver letters accurately to the remote Qingshan Inn alone. This is definitely not something that can be done casually.
In this way, Xie Moyue's arrogance is completely understandable.
Jiang Runian opened the envelope on the spot, and what caught her eyes was a bold and unrestrained invitation from the mayor of Mingzhu Town, Lin Xianzhi. Lin Xianzhi's tone was polite and sincere, inviting her to visit Mingzhu Town for a day in the near future, and also mentioned the possibility of future cooperation. She has always been interested in the southwest border.
...So sudden?
She thought about it carefully. Neither Meng Li nor Jin Xiu Lian had ever mentioned Mingzhu Town before. She thought that Lin Xianzhi had not invited them.
If he was interested in the entire southwest border, why didn't he look for the leader of the settlement instead of looking for her, an innkeeper?
Jiang Ru Nian lowered his eyelashes and thought for a while, "It's hard for Mingzhu Town to think so highly of me. Wait a moment, I will write a letter back to Mayor Lin."
Who would have known that as soon as she turned around, she was surrounded by expectant faces.
"Boss, you actually still have business dealings with Mingzhu Town!"
"Are we going to move the shuttle bus stop to Mingzhu Town?"
“I really want to go there!”
Jiang Runian was puzzled. Mingzhu Town was a good place, but was it necessary to be so excited?
She smiled and said, "Do you think Qingshan Inn is so popular that it can even take over Mingzhu Town? They just asked me to discuss some cooperation. It's not certain whether it will succeed or not."
"When are we going? Boss Jiang, can you take me with you?"
"I think so too. I never dared to go alone before."
"It's just right for us to get enough buffs and form a few teams!"
…
Jiang Runian suddenly understood.
What they yearn for is not Mingzhu Town, but the monsters in the Desert Eye.
"Our adventure team went to the Desert Eye once. There is a monster spawning area within the shelter, which is full of native monsters in the game. Mingzhu Town has placed a special alien crystal core in the center. Monsters will be resurrected after a period of time after death!" A player gave a thumbs up, "It is definitely a T0 level monster spawning area!"
Doesn't that mean you can keep gaining experience without moving? No wonder there are so many top players in Mingzhu Town. This monster farm can open up a big gap in one day.
Jiang Runian pondered silently.
Since the other party is interested, she might as well take this opportunity to find out more and get a day's worth of monster-killing profits for the players on the southwest border.
Anyway, she didn't dare to ride the alienated Xiaobai to Mingzhu Town - she was afraid that the players there would kill every rabbit with a knife, so she could only pin her hopes on Xiaolu. It didn't matter if she carried one person or a whole car. What's more, even if she couldn't find Sui Yan, she had to find out about the new mount. Expanding the shuttle bus route was imminent!
The next morning, Xiaolu, who had been notified to close for a day, came with a car full of fully armed and buffed players, and shook off the sand on his body.
The passengers on the bus were extremely excited. You know, although the monster farm has high returns, it takes them half a day to walk there, and there is also the risk of being attacked in unfamiliar places. In this way, the cost-effectiveness is greatly reduced.
But with the little green car, things are completely different.
Alas, when will Boss Jiang open more routes? They are waiting for the "Qingshan High-speed Railway" to connect the entire District 8!
Jiang Ruonian sat in the front row, oblivious to the eager and expectant gazes behind her. She rested her chin on one hand and looked at the endless sand dunes outside the car.
The little green car sped forward, like a gust of wind blowing past, and yellow sand filled the sky outside the window.
About an hour later, the indestructible protective shield gradually appeared in the golden desert.
Within Mingzhu Town, the air suddenly became fresh and pleasant, and the annoying desert also became friendly.
From a distance, Jiang Runian saw the vague buildings lined up one after another, which were much larger than Shuguang Town.
The Eye of the Desert has the Pearl Town, the monster spawning ground, and the unspeakable Sui Yan and organization. It is really mysterious.
At the same time, in the eyes of the players in Mingzhu Town, this strangely shaped turtle car is also a beautiful and strange landscape - who is it? ! Who drives the boss as a car? !
After Chu Yu's renovation, the windows of the little green car not only protect against wind and sand, but also provide great privacy, making it almost impossible to see what's inside from the outside.
After entering the shelter, all the players along the way kept their eyes on Xiaolu, waiting to salute the owner.
The little green car gradually slowed down and stopped steadily at the post station at the gate of Mingzhu Town. Against the backdrop of a group of llamas, the little green car looked very majestic, holding its head high and closing its eyes while chewing a fruit and vegetable salad.
The next second, the car door opened and a short-haired woman in light green clothes jumped out. She was thin and had a pair of bright and clear eyes.
Jiang Runian looked up and met Xie Moyue's joyful gaze.
Xie Moyue waved at her like a swaying balloon: "Boss Jiang! Here!"
Jiang Runian was unhurried. After instructing Xiaolu to take the players to the monster spawning site and protect them well, he went to the appointment alone.
Jiang Ruonian nodded politely: "Did Mayor Lin arrange for you to take me on a tour?"
"Yes, I—" Xie Moyue realized belatedly, "No, I haven't told you yet, how did you know?"
Jiang Runian held his forehead and smiled bitterly.
This person's mind is as simple as Liu Yinshuang's.
"Are you saying that you were waiting for me here by coincidence?" She made a gesture of invitation, "Let's go."
Xie Moyue scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed. She handed Jiang Runian an exquisite business map of Mingzhu Town and walked side by side with her.
This visit was completely different from the first time I went to Shuguang Town.
The players in Mingzhu Town are all bright and beautifully dressed. The streets and alleys are bustling with hearty laughter coming from time to time, exuding a thick atmosphere of joy.
Xie Moyue invited her to order a takeout glass of orange sparkling water in the pub. It was her first time to drink a drink from another world, and Jiang Runian did not hesitate to express her amazement - she particularly liked the feeling of the sour and sweet flavors fighting on her tongue.
Seeing that she was very interested, Xie Moyue asked her to taste the jasmine milk tea in her hand, "Boss Jiang, this is made with the latest batch of tea leaves and jasmine flowers. Mingzhu Town has already achieved large-scale planting..."
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Ruonian interrupted the topic she was about to start, with a pair of bright black deer eyes shining: "This is also delicious, I like it."
For some reason, Jiang Runian's eyes always have a magical power that makes people let down their guard.
"..." Xie Moyue swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, "Then, I'll give you this cup too."
Jiang Runian took it with a smile.
She didn't want to talk about business when she was so satisfied.
Since it was a special invitation from Mingzhu Town, Jiang Runian's food, drink and entertainment expenses were naturally all public funds. She strolled along the way without any hesitation and tried croissants, pot-crusted potatoes, pancakes, blueberry shaved ice... they all tried them all!
You know what, although the food from the other world has no attribute bonus, the fancy ones are quite delicious!
It was not until they had almost trampled Mingzhu Town to pieces that Xie Moyue rubbed her sore ankle and remembered that she had not done any of the important work that Lin Xianzhi had assigned to her.
Jiang Runian was eating and carrying a bag of snacks, and holding his fourth drink of the day in his hand. His steps were as lively as an elementary school student who just started summer vacation and has no homework.
Xie Moyue: "..."
I didn't see her so energetic when I went to Qingshan Inn? !
She quickly grabbed Jiang Runnian and forced him to sit on a bench by the street, unconsciously begging for mercy in her tone: "Boss Jiang, please sit for a while. You've been gone all day..."
Jiang Runian gladly accepted it, sat beside her and picked up a candied bunny and sipped it slowly.
Xie Moyue cleared his throat and tried to ask, "Boss Jiang, you have seen today that the economy of Mingzhu Town has far surpassed that of other towns. Many shops are run by merchants from surrounding settlements, and they are all making a lot of money. This is a win-win cooperation. The market on the southwest border is too small. If you are willing, we——"
"This sugar painting is fun and delicious," she said, beating around the bush. Jiang Runian didn't want to beat around the bush, "but it's not to the point where I have to give up Qingshan Inn and open a shop here."
Hearing this, Xie Moyue actually felt relieved.
She has never been good at negotiating with others. This time, because she and Jiang Runian had an intersection, Lin Xianzhi put such an important burden on her shoulders. Before coming, Lin Xianzhi specially trained her in the art of speaking for a night, and especially mentioned the "house demolition effect" - first put forward an unacceptable condition, then gradually give in, and reduce the other party's psychological expectations through pressure.
Xie Moyue quickly added: "That's right. After all, you have put a lot of effort into improving the shelter... so other forms of cooperation are not impossible. For example, we are willing to purchase your products at a high price and supply them to our town's hospital and municipal canteen for free. Don't worry, we will never let you suffer any loss."
Jiang Runian smiled.
If you want to be a middleman, just say so. Why act so righteously?
Free supply? Buying at a high price, just to improve the living standards of the townspeople? This is not something a normal decision-maker would come up with on the spur of the moment.
She smiled and said, "You may not know that the output of Qingshan Inn is special. If it is sold for the second time, all effects will be lost."
"I already said it's free, what's the second sale? Wait," Xie Moyue was furious the last second, and the next second she raised her voice incredibly, "You said there will be no buff if it's sold for the second time?!"
Jiang Runian: “…”
What on earth was Mayor Lin thinking? She let Xie Moyue come and talk to her about this matter. Her intentions were clearly exposed.
She was not angry. Mingzhu Town was just striving for greater benefits for itself, and so was she. However, she did prefer partners who were more frank.
She tilted her head and smiled: "Qingshan Inn only accepts guests. Players from Mingzhu Town are always welcome to visit."
Seeing that things were developing in an unexpected direction, Xie Moyue's tone was filled with anxiety, "Your inn can definitely be made bigger. There are so many players in Desert Eye, don't you have any ideas?!"
That's not the case.
She's not just after the players of Desert Eye.
Originally, she thought that if Mingzhu Town proposed a fairer cooperation, she would accept it. But at the moment, Mingzhu Town only wanted to absorb it and did not regard Qingshan Inn as an equal partner.
Then don't blame her for making a little "kickback".
——As early as when the inn’s guests suggested going to the monster farm, she thought that there must be many Desert Eye natives there. As long as one of them asked about the unique bonus buff, the news would spread to ten people and ten to a hundred people.
She doesn't need to come to Mingzhu Town to open a store, nor does she need to be a supplier. She only needs to let the inn's new and old customers go further, which is the best publicity.
Sooner or later everyone will know that there is a Qingshan Inn on the southwest border.
