My players are grinding in the apocalypse

Since you have special goods, why not just open a store to sell them?

The caravan doesn't negotiate the price, so fine, I'll set the price myself.

Let the caravan set the price. How can you make more money if you have the power to set the price yourself?

The rings Cheng Shaofeng sold were his start-up capital. All he had to do next was to find a way to open a store in Central City.

This is the most populous city in the world, and it is also a place where evolvers gather. As long as the goods are good, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

Cheng Shaofeng originally planned to walk around the streets to see where there was a "prosperous shop for sale", but then he looked at the map. The city was too big and it was impossible to walk all the way.

"Although the alley is not afraid of the aroma of wine, you should at least find a trading area where extraordinary people go most often. And the store's signboard should be better made. Although the pricing is up to me, it must be reasonable. The display cabinets of the products should also be displayed It also needs to be of a high quality. It cannot be just thrown on the slate like the store at the base. Later store management will also be a problem."

Cheng Shaofeng looked at the sky and sighed. It was too troublesome to do it alone.

"We need to get some players who are good at opening stores to come over."

That's the good thing about being a lord, you can do whatever you want.

Shadow Guard 1 is following the players to hunt for zombies. In a semi-standby state, it does not need to occupy much of the CPU of the shared brain for the time being. Cheng Shaofeng opens his eyes and issues tasks to the players in the Red City.

[Mission: Natural Disaster Grocery Store]

[Assist the lord to open a store in Central City.]

When the task editor reached this point, Cheng Shaofeng frowned and thought of a key thing.

"If I ask players to help me open a store, then the players will know how to sell the items in the base at a higher price outside, and then use the materials exchanged outside to hand them over to me in exchange for more experience points and iron coins, then Wouldn’t the store in my base not be able to receive items from players?”

At present, the natural disaster base has a lot of things in its own warehouse, which are all recovered from players through the store. Although they are all 'store goods', and the best equipment and rare inlays are in the hands of the players themselves, at least Cheng Shao Wind has a stable means of acquiring players' excess supplies.

If players find that they can get more crystals by selling their unwanted equipment to someone in Central City, and then take the crystals back and hand them over to him, they can earn 10 times more profit than if they were sold to a store.

The base store will be reduced to a decoration!

By then, I'm afraid I won't even be able to receive a bottle of [Life Potion]!

The price system established by the natural disaster base is afraid that it will collapse directly!

Cheng Shaofeng didn't mean to suppress any players, but if players all trade with people in this world, the prices will inevitably be difficult to unify. And if a player deliberately sells at a lower price and competes maliciously, the natural disaster base will suffer the loss.

Currently, players are also trading with people in this world and have gained a lot of benefits. However, this problem has not arisen yet because players currently have too few means of transportation, and transactions are limited to individual players and regions, and will not Influence each other.

For example, when Xu Feng went to the frontline battlefield and quickly reached the position of company commander, he also used the resources of the base to trade and gained some benefits.

Agent Feng used multiple bottles of [Life Potion] to help Judge Lao Lei repair his hidden body injuries, thus gaining the Judge's trust and receiving skills.

Forgive me, the crystal meat shop he opened didn't use the base's special materials, but he grew bigger and bigger in Colossus City, and had a deeper understanding of the value of various items than other players, and he also gained some benefits in exchange for other equipment.

Cheng Shaofeng knew about Forgiveness Hat's business, but he got a share of the money he earned. He often asked Forgiveness Hat to buy things in Colossus City and deliver them to the base.

Now, there are more and more means of transportation in the base, and players are gradually able to go out. If there are no measures, problems will inevitably occur. He calls players here to create value for him, not to run against him.

"No, what should I do if I have to find a way to solve this problem?"

"It's too blunt to directly prohibit players from trading with people in this world, and the world is so big that it can't be banned."

"Imposing taxes? It's also difficult to regulate."

"It's better to clear it than to block it. I won't be able to earn all the crystals, but I can take control of Central City's transactions first and use them to digest supplies."

Cheng Shaofeng decided to run the stores in Central City for the time being and prevent players from intervening in the transactions. Transactions in other places were not controlled for the time being until he found a better measure.

Moreover, there will still be some time before transportation routes that allow players to travel to other human cities are completed, enough for him to find better strategies from the outside.

Cheng Shaofeng temporarily canceled the task and called Wu Jie over.

Wu Jie is the general manager of the base's stores and warehouses, and is more familiar with the base's properties than he is.

He is also the person Cheng Shaofeng trusts most in the world.

Cheng Shaofeng also made a lot of efforts to promote him to a transcendent.

A third-level evolver teacher was invited from Colossus City to teach him how to guide the power of crystals to transform his body. However, Wu Jie's talent was too poor. After practicing for so long, he still had not stepped into the realm of transcendence.

Regarding this matter, Cheng Shaofeng could only lament: People and their physiques cannot be generalized.

Just like Wu Jie's lucky buff, although it is a bit mysterious, it has some unexplained effect.

Wu Jie didn't feel anything about this, and said with a smile that he could only hold Cheng Shaofeng's thigh for the rest of his life.

"Brother Feng, what do you need me to do?"

As soon as he walked in, he could tell that Cheng Shaofeng had something to arrange, and the two of them had a relatively good understanding.

Cheng Shaofeng didn't talk nonsense and directly arranged the task.

"Ajie, arrange the affairs of the store here at the base, find two trusted people to take over, and then take a few people with me to Central City, and we will open a branch."

"Okay! Since you said it last time, I have been cultivating our own team. There are five clean orphans who have officially joined our store. During this period, I have observed that they are quite reliable and smart in doing things. Just right. Come with me this time and let Wang Qian take over the store at the main base. He is very steady in his work and will not go wrong if he does things step by step."

The two brothers Wang Qian and Wang Wan and Wang Qian's son Wang Hao are also very trustworthy people under Cheng Shaofeng.

Now they are all on their own.

When he opened stores at the Baize Lake branch and the Xueshan branch, Cheng Shaofeng thought that with more and more branch bases in the future, the store system would have to follow suit, so he specifically asked Wu Jie to train his own team and take over the business at any time. Spread things out.

All the ordinary people who choose, not even a single extraordinary person.

With the surveillance of Zero and the communication base station and the control of the [Energy Launch Column], it is almost impossible for them to betray the base.

Besides, with the jobs Cheng Shaofeng gave them, there was no reason to betray them.

In Cheng Shaofeng's eyes, the evolution of this world has no effect on him.

He would rather accommodate more ordinary people, have players who will never die in terms of combat power, and ordinary people can provide good logistics for the players.

Cheng Shaofeng: "Number Zero, I want to build a sub-base in Central City, and I need an intelligent program to assist me in managing it. Can you handle it?"

Zero: "No problem, I will arrange an artificial intelligence to follow you. I guess you may also need some help from androids."

"That's right! Just leave some things to the androids."

In Central City, robots can be seen everywhere.

More than 90% of the people working on the large farms outside the central city are robots. This may be because the human population has declined so severely in the Wasteland Era and robot technology has become very advanced.

Even if Cheng Shaofeng had some androids, it wouldn't be eye-catching. Moreover, his androids had second-level combat effectiveness and were barely enough to look after homes and homes.

Cheng Shaofeng said with emotion: "After all, players are not robots. They can do whatever they want. They can do mechanical labor 24 hours a day without any complaints. They have to be driven by interest."

"By the way, No. 0, can the androids left behind in Hong City evolve further?"

No. 0: "Although I have occupied the body of the fishing robot, I have not obtained its fourth-level professional ability and cannot evolve the bionic man. However, after you increase the level of the natural disaster base, you can unlock the technology related to robots."

"Oh? That would be interesting."

After making some arrangements at the base, Wu Jie took 5 men and 10 bionic robots to fly 8 Green Goblin skateboards to Central City.

Cheng Shaofeng stood in the administrative center and watched them fly away, and shook his head: "Unfortunately, the carrying capacity of the Green Devil Skateboard is too poor. The two of us have almost reached the limit, and we can't even bring some supplies there."

"We still have to find a way to get a transport-type flying device."

At present, the anchor point aircraft used by major cities has a slightly better carrying capacity, but the transportation of large cargo must rely on specialized transportation vehicles.

"In the future, we need to get a transport helicopter to transport goods back and forth from the base to the central city."

Cheng Shaofeng felt that the commercial territory of the natural disaster base would start to expand from today.

Central City.

Shadow Guard 2 had a lot of crystals on hand, so he found a good location in the suburbs outside the city and rented an abandoned factory building covering an area of ​​20 acres. The lease period was three months and cost 3,000 crystals.

He went to the material market to buy the materials needed to build the sub-base equipment. Since they were all ordinary materials and not valuable, he only spent 800 crystals to get them all done.

Then we started to build the basic supporting facilities of the branch base.

The signal coverage of the communication base station is a circular area with a radius of 20 kilometers, which can only cover half of the central city. Cheng Shaofeng plans to wait for them to settle down before renting a piece of land in another suburb found diagonally to establish another branch base.

It's enough for now.

Players in Central City can come to this half every day to back up.

"A group of players came out before. There should be a few in Central City. I don't know how they are doing now."

The construction of communication base stations and other equipment takes a whole day, and Cheng Shaofeng just went to chat with the players.

The location of the other players is unknown, but the 'Clown King' told him to go undercover at the Cross Cult headquarters.

"Let's go for a walk to the Cross."

At the same time, the joint meeting of the Crusaders and the Supernatural Society has ended.

The meeting decided to send three fourth-level professionals to lead a 100-person law enforcement team to Yinglong Military Base to investigate.

The people who went this time were all elites, and they had the support of the [Explosion] inheritance. They were equipped with all kinds of firepower equipment, and some of the equipment could pose a fatal threat to fourth-level professionals!

The combat effectiveness of their team is quite high!

If you encounter a fourth-level professional, you can kill him on the spot!

After [Soldier] Colonel Zhuang's protest was ineffective, he had no choice but to pass the information to Yinglong Military Base, asking them to prepare and be sure not to conflict with the Law Enforcement Team of the Transcendent Association.

If this association is determined to clean up a certain force, there is really nothing they can't accomplish.

After learning skills for a day, the Clown King suffered from backache and felt numb.

After seeing off his teacher Zhao Huangwu, he rubbed his stiff face.

"I feel like I'm back in my senior year of high school. This game is so damn hard-core! There's really so much theory and practice involved in each skill."

"Normally, I don't feel this deep when learning [Skill Engraving]. Two and a half years is just a number. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to learn from scratch!"

"Are all NPC evolvers in this game so difficult?"

He touched the two printed skill seals in his pocket and smiled with satisfaction.

"Haha~ Fortunately, I'm safe!"

But in order not to shock the world, he was not going to learn it directly for the time being, but to wait first. Otherwise, what if Zhao Huangwu noticed something and wouldn't engrave him a seal in the future?

Dong dong dong~

The sound of a group of people coming downstairs was heard, and the Clown King saw that everyone who went in for the meeting at noon came out.

He noticed Zhao Rulong at a glance.

Yesterday, after exchanging information with the player ‘Tiandao Rewards Qin’, he learned about the appearance, characteristics and status of Zhao Sisi’s father, Zhao Rulong, and he was the focus of his observation.

"Zhao Rulong's brows have been gloomy. He must be in a bad mood, but it sounds like the matter he presided over has passed."

Just when he was staring at Zhao Rulong, Zhao Rulong seemed to sense something and suddenly turned back to look at him.

The Clown King was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that his identity as a player had been exposed. He felt like he was caught picking up the window of a girls dormitory.

The next moment, Zhao Rulong's gloomy brows opened, he smiled at him, nodded, and left with the others.

Clown King: "?"

'What's the meaning? ’

'He smiled at me? Could it be that you are interested in me? ’

‘Fuck you, gay! ’

Others in the Cross Cult also noticed Zhao Rulong's gaze and looked at the Clown King. This third-order evolver from the countryside seemed to have a not simple background.

The lobby attendant who tried to seduce the Clown King yesterday crossed his legs and became even more excited.

She decided to personally demonstrate to the Clown King tonight what it means to have a ventriloquist in Central City, and see if she could catch this young third-order evolved person through tricks.

Although the Clown King didn't know why Zhao Rulong specially greeted him, he at least didn't discover his identity.

He took the opportunity to pretend to wander around inside and overheard the information discussed by some of them.

'What! We need to send people to investigate around Yinglong Military Base! Three fourth-level professionals! It’s broken, I need to tell the lord immediately! ’

Having fought against level 4 professionals, he understands the strength of NPCs at this stage very well!

Three level four professionals are simply not something that players at this stage can compete with!

He just wanted to log off and communicate with the players at the base.

A voice came from outside the Christian gate.

"Hello, I'm looking for the Clown King. I'm his friend."
