The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 55

The cavalry squad of the Swadian Kingdom who had captured him was on duty at the gate of the city, and they stopped Zhang Qiang's team.

The team leader at the head said: "Master Knight, according to mainland regulations, anyone who enters a city with 10 or more people must dismount and lead the horse away. And there is a city entry tax of 10 copper coins per person. If you pull the goods, it will be counted as a caravan, and the caravan charges 10% of the goods as a tariff."

Zhang Qiang found that his team consisted of exactly 10 people, which just met the charging standard of others, and he also brought the goods.

Looking at a group of cavalry staring at him, and a group of infantry patrolling not far away, Zhang Qiang had no choice but to accept.

The aristocratic status can only succumb to the interests.

The captain of the cavalry called an old-fashioned businessman who looked like a businessman. That guy did some calculations, and finally decided that Zhang Qiang’s goods were worth 110 dinars, so he would have to pay 5 dinars for entering the city and customs duties. .

After paying the customs duties, Zhang Qiang and his team were allowed to enter the city.

The cavalry captain shouted at their backs from a distance, if you take the goods out of the city, you have to charge the same value of customs duties and out of the city fees.

If you want to do business, you should think about this matter, which didn't add much trouble to Zhang Qiang.

A group of people wandered around the market for a long time, and finally sold the goods, earning a total of 156 dinars.

The cavalry captain’s yell woke him up. I remember just entering the game and An Jianhui and the others were fighting monsters and leveling up. When we were in the market in Peigangde Village, An Jianhui said that running a business makes a lot of money. Can you run a business?

I haven't been to other places, but Uxhall is not far from Verruga in Rhodok. Can these two cities be the first stop for my business?

Thinking of such a situation, Zhang Qiang walked around the market.

But even with his trading level, after wandering around for a long time, he was still not sure what to buy to go to Veruga. He didn't know what Veruga lacked or what could be sold for money.

They were not the only players in Uxhall City. Visually, even when it was getting dark, there were still a lot of players, and the degree of crowding was almost comparable to the morning vegetable market in the real city.

There are not only NPC shops and vendors, but also vendors set up by the players themselves, as well as the player's caravan purchasing goods.

A player came up, "Dude, you are also running a business."

Zhang Qiang carefully looked at the player in front of him. This person looked very unscrupulous. He just said that his appearance had a kind of evil eyebrows, but he didn't want to offend anyone. "Yes, brother too?"

The guy said: "Yes, yes, buddy, are you willing to accept a shipment, our shipment is very cheap."

"Really? What kind of goods are they, can you let me see them?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Dude, come with me." The sly-eyed guy led Zhang Qiang to the entrance of a dark alley, "It's inside."

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "Brother, are you planning to rob me? Or are you planning to do business with me?"

After finishing speaking, the members of the Rose Knights who followed Zhang Qiang turned out from the back alley. They were hired swordsmen of the same profession, and their equipment was not good, but they were similar. Needless to say, their combat effectiveness.

The sly-eyed guy quickly backed away with a smile, "Brother, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to make a deal with you."

He looked around, "Do you see that I am alone, do I look like an outlaw doing robbery and business?"

Zhang Qiang approached him with a smile, "You've developed pretty well in the game. The bounty hunter is level 35. Are you going to hang out with that guild?"

The sly-eyed guy said: "Why do you hang out with the guild? I'm just one person. Daddy, do you know?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"What Daoye means is that I collect the things robbed by criminals and sell them to those traders. This is my profession. When I entered the game, I was a lumberjack just like you. Later, I became a merchant after I changed my job. If you have money, go to the woodcutter and change your job to become a woodcutter, and now you are a bounty hunter." Which guy said.

"So that's it, what kind of goods do you want to trade with us?" Zhang Qiang opened his hands and asked.

"Come in and have a look," said the guy, pointing to the dark alley behind him.

Zhang Qiang poked his head and looked inside. The light inside was supposed to be okay, but it was a dead end. There was a small secret door in the alley, and no one would be able to find it if he didn't pay attention.

Zhang Qiang led the two Rose Knight players and followed the guy in.

Open the door, there is a lot of space inside, it is a stone house, and the house is full of goods.

"This is flax bundles. We have 25 bundles, and each bundle costs about 3 dinars. There are 2 bundles of flax bundles in it. According to the purchase price of Uxhall's NPC, a bundle of 1000 copper coins, we Of course we can’t make money, but we don’t make any money in any city on the mainland. No matter which city you ship to, even if the price is a little higher, there will be no profit from travel expenses, labor costs, and tariffs. Only those NPC merchants Caravans only do this kind of business, and ordinary players don't do it." He introduced.

"It is said that flax bundles can only be sold to NPC merchants, and only those linen factories in big cities can make a profit, but the profit is also meager. I don't know why." Said the player who followed Zhang Qiang from the Rose Knights.

Zhang Qiang didn't speak, but continued to follow that guy around.

The guy gave a gush of introductions.

"Your merchant, how many levels are there in your trading skills?" Zhang Qiang asked suddenly.

"Currently it is a first-level trading skill, and you can get a 5.00% price advantage from NPC merchants. I mean, compared to ordinary players trading with NPC merchants, sometimes I also want to run merchants, because only running merchants can get you from I can make profits from the slight price advantage, but I am not that kind of person by nature. We casual players generally do not have that strength. There are wars everywhere on the mainland. The caravan does not have more than ten guards, so it is impossible to walk on the mainland." That guy said it very sincerely.

"Where are these red willow and red pine?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"These, to put it bluntly, the raw materials are actually not valuable on the mainland, but the finished products, such as the fish in the hands of fishermen, if they are baked into smoked fish, the price will increase, and one fish is sold to NPC It’s 1 copper coin. Good fish is sold to NPCs for only 1 copper coins, but if it’s baked into smoked fish, or sold to a chef, the price will be doubled or hundreds of times higher, but I’m not a trade union. I'm not an NPC city lord either, I don't have that much ability to do those things, communicate with me, I just buy the goods they robbed from criminals at a low price, then sell them to NPCs or caravan players, and let them ship them everywhere sell."

The guy said: "I am born to be the fate of my father."

"Those outlaws won't do anything to you, will they?" Zhang Qiang looked at him and asked.

The guy said: "In Uxhall, I am the link for all the outlaws around me. If there is a problem with me, they will lose their money. If the army seizes it, it will be confiscated. I am different. I am a bounty hunter, and I have a good relationship with the sheriff and the city gate guard. They will let me transport these goods in secretly, and then sell them in the NPC store Or sell it on the market, of course, sometimes some expenses are unavoidable." The guy said you understand.

"Which other player wouldn't do what you did?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"They are not as lucky as me. They can find a way to get along with the sheriff and the city gate guards. It doesn't matter. They can't do anything." The guy said proudly.

"In this case, we will buy your goods," Zhang Qiang said.

"Okay," said the guy very readily, "Look, to be honest, the only cost of these things is very low, and they are all robbed things. I only need to pay half of the NPC purchase price to get them. It is said that the cost I pay is some bribes during customs clearance. If I sell it to NPC merchants, I can earn a lot, but the amount is too large, so I will divide part of it into you players caravans for operation. You only need to give me 100 more copper coins to package the goods, and we will make a deal."

"What's your name?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"You can just call me 'Daoye'." That guy obviously didn't want to reveal his real name, can this be understood, a businessman walking in the dark.

This guy called 'Dao Ye' still has a lot of goods, Zhang Qiang took a lot of goods from him, and almost emptied all his savings.

After changing hands, he dumped these goods to NPC merchants. Due to his level 5 trading skill and the 6% of the transaction automatically deducted from his noble status, he is equivalent to having a level [-] trading skill. Commodities, he resells them from NPC merchants at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price.

In a blink of an eye, his 156 dinars turned into 1560 dinars, and he has a lot of rich money.

Just when Zhang Qiang was about to make another vote, the leader of the Rose Knights said: "Man, this is not how business is done. Didn't you find that every time we trade, your trading advantage will decrease? Like red willow, it is almost It is the same as the purchase price of NPC merchants, only 56 copper coins, that is to say, even if you sell more of these things to them, their price will drop, and our trading advantage will be lost, because the goods have already been sold. Flooding the market, why don’t we buy some goods that are in short supply in other cities and then ship them over, that may get a lot of returns, and if you add your advantages in trading skills, it may be even higher.”

"Well, it makes sense." Zhang Qiang thought for a while, then nodded.

"Then what should we buy and which city should we go to?" Zhang Qiang asked.

The leader of the Rose Knights said: "I just passed by and heard some players discussing that the city of Dherim in the Kingdom of Swadia is short of food, such as smoked fish, bread, wheat, etc. Dherim bought pig iron or tools. They say Dhrim's pig iron and tools are cheap, and Uxhall lacks these two."

"Okay, let's buy some smoked fish, bread, and wheat." Zhang Qiang said boldly.
