Chapter 43 Rich Man

Chapter 43 Rich Man

Sid opened his mouth with a heavyweight gift: five hundred gold coins.

In recent days, Gong Qiying has gained some understanding of the purchasing power of currency in this world.

The most commonly used coins are copper coins and silver coins. Gold coins are only used when large transactions are involved. The purchasing power of gold coins is also quite strong.

He bought a shop on the commercial street near the food market two days ago, rented it for a year, and with the miscellaneous expenses such as decoration, it only cost a few dozen gold coins.

A small piece of rotten rainbow fruit can be sold for five hundred gold coins, which seems to be quite a good deal.

“Add another hundred, and I’ll tell you how I avoided the monster,” Gong Qiying said.

"No problem," Sid agreed readily.

This time I really met a rich man.

After a while, Gina brought a check from the Magic Crystal Bank, which could be exchanged for gold coins at any time.

Gong Qiying described his method of avoiding monsters and even drew a shortcut map on the spot. He added a lot of luck to his narration, making his method seem difficult to replicate.

In fact, it was not that complicated at all. The monsters in the dungeon would not attack him. He just walked to the rainbow fruit and tore off a small piece.

But if you don’t make the process and experience sound a little more difficult, how can you attract people’s hearts?

"You are really lucky," Sid said with emotion after hearing this.

Gong Qiying didn't say anything. Even the shortcut he had just drawn was made up. He would just temporarily modify the map when he returned to the dungeon in the evening.

Of course, even if they created a shortcut specifically for Sid, the difficulty would not be significantly reduced. At most, the distance would be shorter and there would be one or two fewer monsters than in other places.

"But luck is also part of strength. If the guild wants to set up a rainbow fruit exploration team, I hope to invite you to join," Cid offered an olive branch. "Do you have a place to stay in Bed City so that we can contact each other later?"

"Actually, I just bought a shop recently and plan to sell some props produced in the dungeon," Gong Qiying wrote down the address on a piece of paper and casually slid it in front of Xide.

"A prop store?" Sid looked at the address and asked casually, "You already have a store, why are you setting up a street stall?"

"Because the publicity effect is better in places with more people,"

"Yes, that's true," Sid nodded. Advertising the product on the street can indeed attract customers to the store. This is also a tactic often used by businessmen.

However, Gong Qiying's intention was actually to attract more people to go to the dungeon and die.

The publicity effect has actually been achieved. The rainbow fruit showed its super temptation once it was opened. I'm afraid that those who smelled the fragrance at that time are now eager to explore the dungeon without any appetite.

Furthermore, the sensational effect of the high-level magic that Cid displayed at the market even overwhelmed the rainbow fruit. People would discuss a mysterious strong man showing off his strength at the market. Why did he show off his strength? Because of a fruit produced from the Sean Dungeon! What kind of fruit could actually attract the attention of a strong man? If I could get it,

Look, the publicity effect is here.

After leaving the guild, Gong Qiying planned to spread the news that the fragments of the rainbow fruit were sold at a sky-high price of 600 gold coins to add fuel to the publicity.

After the meeting, both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves, and he left the Adventurer's Guild with Gina's farewell.

A moment later, when Gina returned to the reception room, a sweet fragrance almost made her drool. She saw Sid opening the box and staring at the rainbow fruit in deep thought.

The scene of him frowning in thought and swallowing hard was quite funny.

"Sir, is it worth spending 600 gold coins to buy a fruit whose function is unknown, or even a small piece?"

"It must be worth it,"

Sid slowly closed the box, licked his lips with satisfaction, and said:

"When I looked at it, there was a voice in my head telling me to eat it, eat it. Once I relaxed, the voice became louder and louder. Even with sedation, I couldn't suppress that thought."

"What do you mean?" Gina understood something.

"Just because this piece of fruit can have a significant impact on my spirit, it is worth the price,"

Sid smiled and said, "If I use it to make magic props, what kind of effect will it produce? I am looking forward to it."

“.”

Seeing the old man's smile that looked like a villain behind the scenes, Gina couldn't help but whispered:

"Well, sir, you are drooling."

"What? I was trying to control myself."

"Would you like me to cut a small piece of rainbow fruit for you to try?"

"This is precious research material and cannot be eaten."

"You don't want to try it?"

"Haha, it's you, little girl, who wants to eat it. There's no need to use your power for personal gain and tempt me."

"You really don't want to try it?"

“.”

"Then I'll take it away."

"Wait. Cut me some."

Sid covered his forehead helplessly. He had never wanted to eat something so much before.

Then he thought of what Gong Qiying said before he left:

"The sweetness of the rainbow fruit is unimaginable to humans. If you want to taste it, I suggest you soak its juice in water and drink it. As for the ratio, one drop of juice should be mixed with the water of the entire swimming pool."

He had originally scoffed at these words, thinking that the other party was just bragging, but now he was a little hesitant.

He said to Gina:

"Where is the nearest swimming pool? Take me there, and ask the guild members to come along, so we can have a meet-up."

Later, the Bed City Adventurer's Guild closed for a day for some reason.

It is said that the staff drank too much juice and fell into coma, and all of them were sent to the hospital.

But because this statement was so ridiculous, no one believed it.

The perspective returns to Gong Qiying, who came to a commercial street called "White Whale Street" and found the shop he had bought.

It is a store that is neither too big nor too small, with a just the right size. It is located in the middle of the commercial street, with a pharmacy and a fashion store on its left and right. It has a good flow of customers.

The consumption level of this street is above average in Bed City. Adventurers make up the majority of the frequent visitors, and there are also some rich but not that rich customers. In short, they are the petty bourgeoisie. Ordinary people come here occasionally to shop.

Originally, there were no vacant shops on this street. Gong Qiying happened to meet the owner of this shop who was urgently selling the shop, so he bought it.

In the future, I can use this store to sell some special products from the dungeon, and it can also be regarded as a channel for exporting information to the outside world.

He is not interested in doing business or anything like that, and opening a store is just an experiment, so he naturally won't focus his attention on this.

The store is still under renovation and it is estimated that it will take a few days to be completed.

He bought some fruit drinks for the workers, and after receiving their thanks, he found a corner where he could not get in the way, pulled out a recliner, and lay down on it, pretending to fall asleep.

In fact, his consciousness has returned to the dungeon. He can switch between Gong Qiying and Godwin's bodies at any time, and can perceive what is happening around the two bodies in time.

I was not used to it at first, but I had to learn to accept it slowly.

"Let me see what the adventurers have come up with today."

He looked towards the food area, where something unexpected was happening.

Fishing rod, bucket, stool.

The food area was actually crowded with fishermen.
