Virtual World: Close Combat Mage

Chapter 362: Waterfront Pier

Views:

Gu Fei didn't know where the pier was. When they came over, they drove the boat by themselves, and drove directly to the sand booth in a mess. Afterwards, in order to avoid being watched by the crowd and flee in a hurry, it didn't look like there was a pier nearby.

So Gu Fei inquired as he walked, and was targeted by the system guards twice because he was not familiar with the city. However, because the PK value is less than 30 now, it attracts some fixed-point guards, and they will ignore them as long as they escape a certain distance. It is not difficult for Gu Fei who has teleportation to do this.

Going all the way like this, Gu Fei finally came to the regular pier of Linshui City. The pier is very large, with several berths, some have boats docked, and players are boarding one after another; some berths have no boats and no people; some have no boats, but there are many players waiting, presumably the boat is coming soon ; Some boats have just left the shore, and a few players who missed the boat are jumping and cursing at the berth.

But these are the scenes that should be on the pier. Gu Fei didn't take it seriously. What really surprised him was that this place was no longer just a pier, but a very large-scale market.

The sky is blue, the water is blue, and the breeze on the boiling surface is often mixed with water droplets. The golden sand stall beside the pier is clearly divided into several areas.

On the left is clearly the trading area. Many players set up stalls here, and make full use of the richest resource here: sand. Everyone piled the sand into various strange shapes, and then placed the equipment they wanted to sell on it to attract the attention of others. The most amazing thing is that a person directly piled sand into a mannequin model, dressed in clothes and swords, not to mention the effect of equipment data, at least the appearance is already clear at a glance, attracting the attention of countless people. This person's business is also very prosperous. The clothes on the sandman models are sold and worn again, and new models are piled up when they have time.

For such a wonderful idea, other sellers around are only envious, and no one imitated it. Apparently, the person who piled up the models must have used some special tricks or skills. Others want to learn, but they don't know the tricks.

The left side is mainly trading, and the right side is the leisure and relaxation area.

There are actually round tables and wooden stools on the sand booth. Of course, the stools are not for nothing. This is an open-air tavern opened by the players, and there are people guarding the wine cabinet next to them, selling drinks to the players who come over. This way of selling is obviously more profitable than Xiaolei Tavern. As a big house in the system, Little Leiguang invested a lot, and then applied to the system to open a shop through the regular route. In this way, it will be recorded in the system, and a certain fee will be deducted from the turnover every day, which is called tax payment by the players.

And the system is really obscene, not ashamed of the players' mockery, but proud of it. Seeing that there are more and more players starting to open stores, they actually carried out the activity of evaluating the merchants who pay the most taxes every day as tax stars, and then rewarded them. This reward is also really expensive, causing those players who opened the store to get up late and compete with each other to suppress each other, creating a mess of smoke.

Of course, regular merchants like Xiaolei also have the benefits of regular merchants. For example, if you don’t pay for the wine, he can recruit system guards with a text message. After all, his store is registered in the system, and the system has well-documented evidence for whether someone took the wine and didn't pay for it during the transaction. It's just that he gave the right to call for help to the boss. After all, sometimes the boss will invite friends to drink two bottles for free. It would be too unpleasant for the system guards to automatically descend from the sky to take people away.

Compared with Xiaolei, these players who are unable to pay taxes to the system are naturally not protected by the system. What if some strongman came to eat free food? Even if the boss is a peerless master, if he comes to a guild, he won't be able to offend him!

While admiring Gu Fei, he was worried about these bosses. But when I got closer and looked at the signboards on the wine cabinets, I realized the spirit.

None of these open-air non-systematic taverns is a personal business, and all of them are named guilds. The most conspicuous place on the wine cabinet is clearly marked as a certain guild. This is enough deterrent, if you want to be hunted down by the whole guild, just come and eat the overlord's meal!

There are a lot of people entertaining in this open-air tavern, which is naturally different from the indoor tavern where Gu Fei and the others often squat. Gu Fei walked around and found it interesting, and for a moment he forgot about going to brush monsters and practice leveling, and began to look for vacancies around, and also wanted to experience it.

This move was immediately noticed by the experienced wine seller, and he rushed over with the vigor of grabbing a boss: "Brother, can you find a place to sit?"

"En!" Gu Fei nodded.

"There is still space here, here, how many people are there?" the other party asked.

"One." Gu Fei said.

"Ben, alone, come to a small table!" The player turned around and yelled.

"Here we come!" A soldier squatting next to the wine cabinet stood up and walked over in two steps. With a "huh", he reached into his pocket and took out a small round table that looked like a bedside table, and followed suit. A bench was brought to the side, and it was placed properly after two strokes: "Sit down!"

"How much weight do you carry?" Gu Fei sat down dumbfounded.

The soldier smiled honestly, returned to his original place and squatted down to play with the sand again.

"Brother, do you want this?" The player who was serving stretched out his hand and handed him a drink list.

Gu Fei raised his eyes and saw that the drinks were still those drinks, but the price was even more expensive than regular stores like Xiaolei Tavern that had to pay taxes. It seems that what is sold here is not only drinks, but also this special atmosphere. Gu Fei sighed in his heart, while stealthily scanning, he wanted to see what kind of wine the other players around him were asking for.

Looking at it at a glance, I found that although the environment has changed, the consumption concept of players is still the same, and most of the wine they want is cheap. Gu Fei was about to order a copy as usual, when he suddenly found that there were two bottles of the most expensive 200 on the same single table as himself. Someone who can drink this wine! Gu Fei raised his eyes, and sure enough, Young Master Han was sitting there holding a wine glass. The difference is that all the people drinking here will look around at the scenery to feel the atmosphere while drinking, but this guy's attention is all on the wine glass in his hand.

"Sorry!" Gu Fei stood up abruptly, "I have a friend over there, let me sit with him!"

"Where is it!" The players who served were displeased, after all, they opened a special table for Gu Fei.

"Over there!" After Gu Fei pointed, the player's expression showed ecstasy again. Why? It's because the person at the table is the young master of the Han family. Mr. Han's drinking is expensive, fast, and plentiful. Such alcoholics are the most desirable object of the hotel owner. Now that Gu Fei is actually this person's friend, if he helped him consume it in the past, wouldn't he drink faster and more? You must know that one glass of this kind of wine is worth as many glasses of the cheapest wine, not to mention that guy actually ordered by the bottle.

The player's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic again, and he rushed to help Gu Fei put the stool in front of Mr. Han's table.

Young Master Han finally stopped paying attention to his glass of wine and turned his head up. After seeing Gu Fei behind the player, he turned his head and continued to pay high attention to his glass of wine without saying a word.

The entertainer looked puzzled, and Mr. Han's attitude was as if he saw a cloud of air. Gu Fei didn't agree, he patted the person and said, "Bring me a wine glass." After speaking, he sat down.

The man immediately touched his pocket, and brought Gu Fei the biggest wine glass he ever owned, so big that even Young Master Han's calm face showed a trace of surprise.

A cunning flashed in the corner of the player's eyes, he patted Gu Fei's shoulder affectionately and said, "Use slowly."

Gu Fei nodded, also ignoring Young Master Han's expression, took his wine bottle and poured a full glass. This cup is really big enough, half a bottle will be gone after one cup, Gu Fei feels very full while holding this cup.

Before he had time to take a sip, another person had already approached Gu Fei, lowered his head and asked, "Brother, do you want grilled fish?"

"Grilled fish?" Gu Fei was surprised.

The man turned his head and pointed, Gu Feishun looked around, and saw an embarrassing place on the beach with less beautiful scenery. There were piles of bonfires on the ground, and the smoke was curling up. Many players were squatting in front of the fire and busy with sticks. The tops are basically fish. While roasting, he looked at the wine stand for new customers. A few people showed regret for Gu Fei being robbed.

"The chef is proficient at 2700, you are satisfied." The player continued to recommend himself.

"How much... um, one or a string?" Gu Fei asked.

"A piece is a string." The other party replied, "But we all call it a stick."

"The fish are all the same size?" Gu Fei suddenly became curious and gossip.

"They are all brushed by the system, and they are guaranteed to be exactly the same size." The other party replied with great confidence.

"How much?"

"Metal coins."

"It's quite expensive!" Gu Fei snapped. In fact, the catering industry has not yet been developed in Cloud City, and the other main cities just pass by in a hurry, even if there is, they don't know. So Gu Fei doesn't understand the market, but just feels it intuitively.

"It's all at this price." The man said so.

"Then let's try the two skewers first!" Gu Fei said.

"Okay, okay." The man nodded quickly, and ran away like flying, not likely to return, holding two sticks in his hand, with two fishes on the sticks. Frankly speaking, it was very rough, but there was a kind of wild taste in it. Looking at the fish, Gu Fei felt that it was still very greedy.

After happily paying the gold coins, Gu Fei took the fish, took a stick and handed it to Young Master Han.

Young Master Han was holding his wine glass and slowly shook his head.

"Try it!" Gu Fei had already tasted it himself, and it felt very good, and he highly recommended it.

"I've already eaten six sticks." Mr. Han said as he tapped the ground with his foot.

Gu Fei looked down and saw the sticks on the ground, he was very surprised and said: "You can eat and drink, you have a bag of wine and food!"

Master Han's face turned cold, and he reminded coldly: "The wine you drink is mine."

"Yeah, yes." Gu Fei nodded quickly and took a full sip.

At this moment, there was a sudden shout: "Look, it's that guy!!!"
