Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Chapter 348 Purchases and Visitors

The view changed, and Fan Wei landed in a cylindrical hall with a bang.

The mark of the God of War in his pocket floated out on its own, emitting red light.

In the bright red light from the high dome above, countless firefly-like dots flew down and rushed into the ruby ​​at the center of the mark.

A number emerged between the golden lines.

Click 'Blood Reward'!

This was the reward for Fan Wei for passing the 60th floor challenge. On the wall of the 60th floor of the cylindrical hall, the name "Misr Fan" was printed on it with a dazzling light.

There are currently only about a hundred names on this wall.

This means the top one hundred people standing at the top of the empire's hundreds of millions of people!

Red light descended from time to time around, representing the successful or failed challengers. They looked up at the newly appeared name in awe, and some turned around to look for the figure of the master.

Fan Wei turned around silently and walked out of the hall.

He was now covered in blood, both from the giant beast and his own. His clothes were tattered and he looked quite disheveled. He did not look like the legendary master at all, so no one recognized him.

But Fan Wei felt contented at this moment.

"Phew, I'm glad I survived~"

He heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. He found an inn that provided public services to challengers, took a shower, changed his clothes, and returned to the Church of the God of War to check the rewards that could be exchanged for the 'blood reward'.

Destroying towers to earn "blood money" is the source of income for many low-level professionals with meager incomes.

In the Church of the God of War, one hundred blood rewards can be exchanged for one gold coin, which is a very generous reward for most people.

In addition to money, blood money can also be exchanged for almost everything needed to improve strength, such as skill experience, materials produced by the maze, props, and potions.

The most famous of these is the Church of Ares' exclusive product, the 'Red Potion'.

This potion is just like the red potion in the glass bottle in various online games. Once taken, it can quickly heal various injuries in the body.

Also known as bottled therapy!

Although the Silver Heart can also provide healing capabilities, the speed is too slow.

The same goes for magic. Although it can sew and repair the body, it is essentially a "surgery" and usually cannot recover quickly.

When it comes to treatment, the miracles of divine power are the best.

Fan Wei paid 50 blood rewards for each bottle and bought dozens of bottles, which he stored in the space in case of emergency.

Then he thought for a while, and spent another 9000 blood rewards to obtain a piece of equipment called "Dragon Crystal Square Shield". This purple-black shield, two meters high and seventy centimeters wide, looks like a narrow wall.

In the previous battle, Fan Wei found that his ability to withstand attacks was a little too low.

So I specially selected this shield which can provide strong protection and absorb magic to a certain extent and convert it into a counterattack shield, and added it to my equipment.

As a ranger with neither weaknesses nor strengths, it is very important to make up for the shortcomings in a timely manner.

After the exchange was completed, the equipment and props were quickly delivered by the servants of the Church of the God of War, and the blood reward was directly deducted from the mark.

“It feels like online shopping.”

With a low smile, Fan Wei exchanged the blood reward for 20 gold coins as activity funds, and saved the remaining blood rewards for later use.

It is unlikely to make any more profit, as that would mean facing opponents who are even stronger than the behemoth!

Until there is a better way to use it, the solar furnace that has heated up to that level cannot be taken out again and can only rely on itself.

"I hope that next time I come, I can win with my real strength." Although the battle with the behemoth put Fan Wei in a very unfavorable situation, the iron must be strong after all!

He just happened to get a book called "Forging the Divine Body". If the testing method is feasible, he will also take some time to improve his physical attributes.

After leaving the Church of the God of War, the raindrops in the distant dark sky became much heavier.

Fan Wei put his hands in his pockets, waited for a while on the dimly lit black street, called a beast cart, and went to the elevator leading to the upper floor.

One of the conditions for obtaining a business license has been met.

The next step is to purchase a property, obtain a letter of recommendation, and join an organization. The latter two may require him to use his connections, or maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to go see Tong?

By using magic and exotic materials, the capital can build an elevator that is five hundred meters high.

After buying the ticket and boarding the train like it was departing on time, the Time Zone gradually shrank beneath our feet in the whistling wind. The Empire's elevator was extremely simple in design and had no windows.

After more than three minutes, Fan Wei, who had his hair blown back, patted his hair and walked out of the lifting platform.

He took advantage of the situation and grabbed the hand that was reaching into his pocket, then turned around and smiled at the thief who was about to steal, "Little boy, you have chosen the wrong target."

"Let go, let go!" The light brown-haired girl whose wrist was grabbed screamed.

"Help! He's trying to kidnap me!"

"Eh?"

Hearing the sound, the guard near the elevator platform came over, glanced at Fan Wei, and said in an impatient tone: "Don't cause trouble here!"

He turned his eyes and looked at the indifferent passengers who were walking away, and the several guards who were looking at him.

Fan Wei probably understood, "Is it a collusion? It seems like he was bribed."

Obviously, there are "rules of the underworld" here.

This girl is not alone. There must be a gang behind her. They mingle with the crowd in the elevator and steal when the crowd starts to move around when the platform arrives.

If discovered, they would cooperate with bribed guards nearby to warn the owner not to cause trouble.

When ordinary people encounter this situation, there is nothing they can do except to consider themselves unlucky.

Seeing that Fan Wei did not let go, several guards nearby surrounded him with unfriendly looks, but they soon stopped and their expressions turned into astonishment.

A mark of the God of War appeared, and the 60 characters on it were enough to make one's scalp tingle!

"Sorry to bother you, honorable sir! I, we will leave immediately!" Several guards quickly bent down and bowed and stepped back, and the captured girl also calmed down.

"I-I'm sorry, sir!"

Fear appeared on her face, and she lowered her brows and asked obediently, "What can I do for you?"

Knowing the current affairs is the clearest rule of survival for the people at the bottom of the empire.

"I want to ask you something. By the way, why did you choose me?"

A thief who can survive in such an environment is definitely not blind. If he provokes a strong man with a bad temper, it is normal for him to die on the spot.

Being chosen by a girl means that you have the aura of a "weak person".

"You, you are wearing civilian clothes, and you look like a Southern idiot... a Southerner..."

After hearing the girl's stammering explanation, Fan Wei pondered for a moment, looked around and discovered that the people of the Empire did not like to laugh, and all the passers-by had stern faces.

With a gentle and rich expression like his, it is clear that he is telling others that he is from another place.

Moreover, he does not look strong, and there are no traces of organizational power on his clothes, which means he has no backing and is probably a soft persimmon.

I just didn't expect it to be a bit hard.

"Okay." Touching his nose depressedly, Fan Wei said, "Are you well-informed? I want to know the information of the outer city of the imperial capital."

Compared with professional service agencies, he actually prefers to find local people to understand the situation first.

Because a lot of information cannot be made public, normal institutions will not provide it to you, and only local people know it best.

When arriving in an unfamiliar environment, the first thing to do is to understand the surrounding living environment. This is the knowledge that Fan Wei has learned from mercenaries, merchants and travelers along the way.

"I can help you find someone who knows."

The girl spoke immediately and led Fan Wei without caring about her task. She was still afraid that this high and mighty figure would kill her if he was in a bad mood.

Just now she also caught a glimpse of the mark in Fan Wei's hand and knew that at this moment she was just a mouse under the feet of a dragon.

But it seems that this dragon is easy to talk to?

"Don't be afraid. If you do well, I will give you some rewards." Fan Wei looked down at the tall and thin girl and asked, guessing, "You are 16 years old this year, right?"

"twenty three..."

The height of the Northern Empire people is very deceptive, just like the appearance of elves and goblins.

"You're so young and you're out..." Fan Wei was surprised and paused before continuing to ask, "Do you have a home? Where are your parents?"

"They didn't want me anymore. There wasn't enough food at home. I saw my dad throw my brother off the cliff, so I ran away from home."

"My brother, who worked as a red-throated bird in the tavern, wanted to take me in, but I was weak and not good-looking."

"I could only go to Edelweiss Pie and become a long-tailed rat with the introduction of my brother's friend."

The girl's words were mixed with some jargon, which Fan Wei didn't quite understand, but he roughly understood. He was silent for a while, and then said, "Have you thought about what you will do in the future?"

"I want to be an assassin and kill people!"

? ? In front of Fan Wei's wide eyes, the girl said with natural anger: "When I grow up, I will stab to death those who hit me!"

"Then you can join the Thunderbird Gang and make a lot of money!"

In the imperial capital, even the gangs are strictly organized. At the top is the association, below are the gangs, and below that are the factions, just like the parent company, branches, and local stores.

If a small figure from the lower class wants to climb up, he must gain the appreciation of the upper class, and the way to do this is often to work hard.

"This, it's easy to get killed, right?" Not knowing how to persuade her, or whether he should persuade her at all, Fan Wei could only say this, and then he saw the girl's strange expression.

"Sir? Why are you afraid of death?"

"It's nothing, I just said too much." Before doing anything, Fan Wei thought it would be better not to continue talking nonsense.

This is the living environment of the Northern Empire. If he cannot change the environment, then it is his fault.

The girl took Fan Wei into a smoky tavern that only sold blended drinks and some snacks. Most of the customers were laborers who came to relax and people involved in the dark side of society.

"Duro, a big shot wants to ask you for information."

Walking to the corner of the tavern, the girl slapped a dirty table and woke up a man with messy hair holding a glass bottle.

"Big? Big guy, how big is he?"

"You absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot afford to offend this person! Hurry up and answer whatever you have to say. Tell it all!"

After being kicked, the man finally sobered up. He rubbed his red nose, took out a small bottle, poured out the yellow pills and stuffed them into his mouth, and he suddenly became sober.

He looked at Fan Wei secretly, then glanced at the girl who winked at him and made a small gesture with her fingers.

The man shuddered and smiled, "Sir, who do you want to kill? Or do you want to establish some relationship, or want to know the whereabouts and secrets of some important people?"

"I will tell you everything I know!"

"No need. Tell me about the various organizations in the capital, and help me find some real estate information that meets the requirements."

After stating his request, Fan Wei found a seat and sat down, then ordered some snacks for the girl.

"Sir, I can drink, and if you are willing to support me, I can also work for you! I will do whatever you say!"

A girl who can survive in a harsh environment has a keenness that ordinary children do not have.

She is trying hard to show herself and desperately seize the opportunity to change her destiny!

You may say that the people of the Northern Empire are rough, snobbish, and cold, but you must never ignore their spark-like passion that will erupt in the freezing ice and snow!

"Sure, I'm short of manpower." Fan Wei agreed with a smile.

He had some sense of what it meant to be a 'big shot'.

It’s not about how strong or wealthy a person is, but a small action like this can make a drastic change in a child’s fate!

Is this power? Or is it a responsibility? Fan Wei has his own destiny.

After hearing the reply, the girl quieted down, said nothing, and sat quietly to eat.

Not long after, Fan Wei got the information compiled by Douluo. It was written down in a yellowed notebook and folded into pages. He flipped through it carefully and copied down the important parts with magic.

After getting the information he needed, he took out a few silver coins and threw them over to compensate the intelligence dealer for his efforts.

"Let's go and find a house." After leaving the tavern, Fan Wei looked back and forth between the second area and the minute hand area based on the information he got, and finally found the most ideal property.

“Spark Night, the original dance theater, closed down due to poor management.”

"The whole building is sold for no less than 80 gold coins."

After talking with the property owners, Fan Wei lamented that the properties in the capital are expensive. For properties of similar types, the prices are more than twice as high as those in Maze Street!

He bargained for a while, but the owner insisted on the bottom line of 80 gold coins.

At this time, the girl who followed suddenly took out a knife and stabbed it into the table! Then she held the handle of the knife and stared at the other person.

The owner agreed to reduce the price to 75 gold coins.

After completing the transaction, Fan Wei was still a little speechless, "Is this okay?"

"Sir, it's not that there is no room for bargaining." The girl said, "It's just that she is bullying you because you are from the South! I have seen the adults in Perry negotiate business."

"They often bring a small minion with them, and if the negotiations fail, they will make the minion commit suicide in front of the other party."

"This way we can quickly talk about success."

"What's the reason?" Fan Wei was confused.

"It's a competition of ruthlessness. Letting his men die shows that there are people in the faction who are capable of risking their lives, but they just don't want to tear each other apart. If others see through it, they will admit defeat."

"What if the other party doesn't admit defeat?"

"Then my death will hinder her from continuing to sell houses, and she will suffer." The girl said as if to comfort Fan Wei.

"..." I was speechless. Now I finally understood why the imperial people always contemptuously called southerners "sheep".

"Oh, okay!" Fan Wei shook his head and opened his arms, "Welcome to join us, Bafang Restaurant!"

He named the new restaurant casually but with some meaning. The girl is his first new employee. This is also the first step for Fan Wei to build his own power in the empire!

"Ahem, congratulations. May I ask if you would like to welcome an unexpected guest?"

Suddenly, a man coughed at the window, and a man with a top hat and long blond hair climbed in.

"It was so hard to chase you. I ran back and forth across half the city!"

Arica Bellen said with a wry smile.
