Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

In the evening when the sun is setting, the gentle breeze blows, and a little smoke rises from the courtyard, bringing a burst of tempting fragrance.

Alai sat on the garden chair and watched Ned holding the tongs and concentrating on heating the grilled fish they brought back from the 'Monster Bazaar' on the grill. He lowered his head and took a leisurely sip of fruit tea.

What a beautiful day, watching the sunset, eating good food, no work, no bills, no need to worry about Ned eating too much and running out of money.

"Alai, Alai, it's ready, let's eat!" Ned put the grilled fish on the table in front of Alai with a plate, and took out a large bottle of freshly squeezed juice from his pocket.

Since they came home, Alai has been in this relaxed state, and he has never thought about it because he ate too much. Life can't be better.

"Don't worry, you eat first, remember to leave two for me."

Alai took another sip of tea, relaxed himself and continued to sit on the chair, enjoying the good times in his life.

Today is already the third day since Alai and Ned came back from the 'Monster Bazaar', and they finally stayed in the 'Monster Bazaar' for another two days, shopping...or rather, they ate all the delicacies in the entire bazaar.

But now, Alai is feeling the beauty of life, immersed in the joy of wealth. — until his magic instrument sounded.

As the saying goes, the world is fair, and after good things happen, bad things will always follow.It doesn't matter if you're a wizard or a dragon, what's due will come.

Just now, this month's bill was finally sent to Alai through the Magic Instrument.

That's right, although Alai, as a space magician, doesn't need to pay rent, he still has to pay water bills, magic instrument usage fees, space magic tax, etc., all kinds of fees.

But fortunately, Alai had already prepared for this.Even if the odds and ends of the month are deducted, the money they earn should last a long time...

"What is this? Why is there only such a small balance left in the account? There must be a mistake somewhere!" Alai suddenly whispered.

Ned swallowed most of the grilled fish, watched Alai click on the 'Magic Instrument', and suddenly sat up straight a few minutes later, letting out a series of wailing. ? ? ?

"What's the matter? What's the situation?" Ned asked vaguely while eating grilled fish.

"Wait, let me take a look, wait a minute..." Alai waved his hand at Ned in confusion, staring at the screen. On the small old-fashioned magic instrument, countless electronic devices were displayed. bill.

What's this?Why is water so expensive?Wait...is there a tax on private sales at the 'Monster Bazaar'?The tax rate is actually 5%!what else?Did the pile of things they bought at the bazaar add up to that much?

The account balance is running low in the blink of an eye.

"I thought I didn't have to worry about bills for the time being." He muttered to himself.Speaking of which, he also set up two new systems in the third district. Sure enough, happiness is always short-lived. Is pain the true meaning of life?

Why did Alai's brows get tighter and tighter?ah!He started biting the cup, and now he's pounding on the chair again... Is the fruit tea bad for his stomach?

"Alai? Do you...have a stomachache?"

"No, no, after all, why do you always think that I am either in pain here or there?" Sure enough, the dragon race is a race that won't worry?Or only the one in front of me, who can only think in a straight line.

"The reason why I'm so surprised is because I just received the bill and we have no money again." Alai turned the 'magic instrument' in his hand and pointed the balance to Ned.

"Huh? Why? Didn't we just make a lot of money?"

"Yeah, why? Why do we spend money so quickly?" Alai stared straight at the grilled fish in Ned's hand, wondering if a certain dragon who was eating his fourth meal today could tell him that they Where did the money go?

"Hmm... Could it be because of me?" Ned said uncertainly, thinking carefully about what he had done recently, besides eating normally every day, he also turned into a dragon to wash his hands when he returned home. He took a hot bath, and he didn't do anything special.

Ah looked at Ned, whose expression was shifting, and sighed deeply. It wasn't the first day he knew Ned's food intake, and those 'silver fish' were strictly Ned's stuff. It wasn't Ned's fault either.

"No, it's not your problem. It's because I've made things simple. The most important thing now is to find a way to make money." After buying the new system, you can't refund it, and it's impossible for Ned not to eat. Hurry up and think of a way to end this state of making ends meet.

"Then why don't we continue to sell things?" He can look through his collection again, maybe he will find something good like last time?That witch's apple is very good, and someone will definitely buy it.

"I was lucky last time, and I just found a suitable product. It won't work to keep looking through your collection. I actually have a rough idea." A Lai took a bite of the grilled fish that was cooling down, thinking Said.

"Do you remember? When we went to the market a few days ago, we told the store manager that our products were in good condition, and we negotiated prices with the store manager based on this."

"I have an impression of this." Is it because things have been placed in the space?So it is very well preserved.

"Yes, this matter gave me inspiration. I'm thinking that we can start a company and do work related to plane transportation." It's a company, but it's just the two of them.

"Is it like the transportation company you used to work for? But now there is a system. Isn't that why you lost your job?"

"That's right, I lost my job because of this, thank you for reminding me, ah!"

"?"

Sometimes it's really unclear whether the guy really doesn't understand irony, or is he just playing dumb.

"Of course I know that there is a system now, but the system is actually flawed. For example, the plane transfer of large goods, the system now charges based on weight, right? That fee is not cheap. But we don't need it, your 'space' no longer With my 'door', it is completely possible to transport large cargo planes with zero cost."

Ah Lai's mouth was parched, he poured himself a glass of fruit juice, and reanalyzed.

"In the final analysis, the system in the three districts is not available in all districts, such as the five districts, six districts, ten districts, etc. There must be customers who want to buy things but do not have the system. There are also customers who are looking for specific products , if there is no sale on the system, they must be willing to pay a lot of money to ask someone to find it, what do you think?"

He had a hunch that this would definitely make money.And even if you don't make money, the cost is almost 0, and there is no loss if you fail.

"Me? I think it's fine...I'll listen to you!"

"Are you sure?" Does this guy really know what we're doing?It was unnerving to agree so quickly.

"Yeah, I'm sure." As a dragon, you must learn to never say no to the 'partner' you choose.

"...Well, since you agreed, you can't regret it in the future."

"No, we Dragon Clan never regret it. But if you start a company, what exactly do you want to do?"

This guy really didn't understand what he was going to do, did he?What was all that he said just now for? !

"If you want to start a transportation business, you need to apply for a license first, but I don't know exactly what to do, so after we go to the third district to get the ordered system tomorrow, I plan to go to the sixth district to find Bell and inquire about it. Look at the business. Do you remember Bell? He is the manager of the super delicious dessert shop made of honey cake."

"Well, of course I remember, then I'll go with you." Of course he remembered, that Bear Clan orc who couldn't stop laughing at Alai and whose ears could only move back and forth.

"No, I'll just make an appointment to meet him directly at his store. It's safe. Bell has a chain of dessert shops in several dimensions. I want to ask if he needs someone to help him deliver the goods. You leave Just come down and watch the house." Alai waved his hand and said.If he let Ned go with him, he would definitely take the opportunity to eat a bunch of desserts again, so forget it.

"Actually, if it's about starting a company, I have better candidates than looking for that Bell."

I don't know why, but I just don't want Ah Lai to meet that bear orc, why?Is it because the other party hates it?And Alai is his 'partner', so why ask other people for help.

"Really? Is it your friend?" Alai asked curiously.

This guy Ned actually has friends, no, how could he think of Ned like that?No matter how unreliable a person is usually, there will always be one or two friends.

"It's not my friend. If you have to explain my relationship with him, we should be brothers." Ned replied casually.Although I don't really want to go to that guy, but it's better than letting Ah Lai go to see that bear clan orc.

"Brother?" Ned's brother, what does it look like?If it's the same as Ned... Alai raised his head and imagined, and couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for their parents.However, it's not surprising that Ned has brothers and sisters. After all, it is rumored that the Dragon Clan is very keen on... reproduction.

"Strictly speaking, my brother."

"Uh, okay. Then what does your brother do? Why do you say you can just find him?"

"He and his 'partner' have opened several companies in the third district. In my opinion, he should be regarded as a top-level 'black-hearted factory manager'? For business matters, you can definitely ask him."

"Black-hearted factory manager?" Hey, is it really good to say that about your brother?But listening to him say this, I really wonder what this 'brother' looks like.

"In short, if we want to start a company, we should go to him." Ned said firmly.

Now that it's all said and done.

"Okay! Let's go visit your brother, is it convenient to go tomorrow?" Alai asked.

"No problem, I'll just use the 'Magic Instrument' to talk to him." Ned took out his bumpy 'Magic Instrument' from the space while talking, preparing to send a message to his brother.

"By the way, speaking of the 'Magic Instrument', we will go to District [-] tomorrow morning to bring back the newly purchased system. Remember to make an appointment with your brother until the afternoon."

"Okay, but why do we have to get it ourselves? Isn't the system able to mail it here?" Ned sent the good news, turned his eyes back to Alai, and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, yes, but then you have to pay for the postage." Alai replied as a matter of course after taking the last bite of the grilled fish.The postage in the three districts is so expensive, but it's just a matter of opening a door, of course, if you can save it, you can save it.

"To sum up, we'll leave for the third district tomorrow, and then turn to find your brother." I don't know what Ned's brother is like, but I hope he can be more reliable than Ned.

And if he saw him, he could also ask about the contract by the way. Every time he asked Ned, he would only talk about him. This time, he finally had the opportunity to ask clearly.
