Chu Tian finished roaring in his mind.
A few seconds later, Dao Tian's voice indeed came.
"Uh... I've been private chatting with people these past few days, I'm used to it!"
Chu Tian heard this and thought, "Good heavens, I haven't logged in these past few days, and this old guy has probably been occupying my clone all this time."
"Damn, you've been private chatting with others? Alright... you continue!"
Chu Tian was speechless and ignored him.
He arrived at the city center, went to the "Everything Available" chain store, and checked the accounts.
Currently, excluding working capital, the inventory was over thirteen thousand gold coins.
This was the turnover from all the shops in the three main cities.
At this moment, the "Everything Available" pharmacy and engineering shop in Shengjing City were bustling with customers.
Many players were lining up to buy medicine.
"Everything Available" Pharmacy had already become famous in the Northern War Zone.
The prices of the medicines were low, focusing on mass production.
Therefore, in terms of price wars, they had a unique advantage.
Players naturally went wherever it was cheaper.
Other competitors had colluded several times to attack the "Everything Available" Pharmacy.
They joined forces to lower prices and engage in price wars.
However, Mo Shi did not play along. If they lowered prices, they lowered them; he maintained his original prices.
Then, Qi Xi immediately had all the members of the Reverse God Alliance go to these pharmacies and make massive purchases.
One wave of purchases was enough to cause them to run out of stock.
They had no choice but to stop lowering prices and close down to replenish their goods.
Later, they began to stockpile herbs in large quantities, intending to drive up herb prices and increase the manufacturing costs for "Everything Available" Pharmacy's medicines.
This way, they could use the herbs acquired at low prices to make a profit.
Who would have expected that even though the herb prices were driven up, the medicine prices did not increase?
They had no idea that the total amount of herbs "Everything Available" Pharmacy acquired daily was only about twenty percent of the daily consumption.
The remaining eighty percent was all produced by the life players cultivated by the Reverse God Alliance.
This led to the current situation.
His engineering shop was also the same, with customers coming in endlessly.
"Everything Available" was fast becoming the industry trendsetter.
Chu Tian, the hands-off manager, was doing his job diligently, unaware of all this.
He arrived at the engineering shop and prepared to go to the second floor to find "Shang Da Hao Mei Dai Zhi" (Forgot to bring toilet paper when going to the big one).
He wondered if this guy had been squatting in the workshop all this time.
As soon as he reached the second floor, he bumped into Mo Shi, "Shang Da Hao Mei Dai Zhi," who was coming downstairs.
He was stunned when he saw Chu Tian.
"Boss... you've been missing for so long! I happened to have something urgent to tell you."
Chu Tian heard this and thought, "Besides running out of money, what else could be so urgent?"
He said, "We have a lot of gold coins in stock, and I've given you full control. What's so urgent that you need to find me?"
"The City Lord has come here several times these past few days, asking you to come and see him," Mo Shi said quickly.
"The City Lord? Luo Guo, the City Lord of Shengjing City?" Chu Tian was surprised. Why would the City Lord be looking for him?
He could just issue system quests directly if he wanted to find him.
Why would he send someone to the shop to find him?
As he thought about this, Chu Tian suddenly realized that Mo Shi said "the City Lord has come here several times."
"Are you saying the City Lord himself came?" Chu Tian's expression was strange.
Mo Shi nodded. "Yes!"
"His appearance is very similar to yours, otherwise, why would I have been stunned just now."
"I thought he had come again!"
Hearing him say this, Chu Tian's heart sank.
This was too strange. He was an NPC, and he had come in disguise.
Recalling his first meeting with him, the human-like behavior.
And then thinking about how, when he saw him later, he had reverted to his data-like speaking mode.
Could it be that he...
"Boss, I'm leaving now..."
"Oh, right! City Lord Luo said that if you want to find him, you need to do it between 2 AM and 5 AM every Wednesday!"
"Don't try to find him at other times."
Mo Shi's words made Chu Tian even more certain of his thoughts.
He checked the time, it was only past eight o'clock, and he followed Mo Shi downstairs.
As soon as this guy went downstairs, he headed straight out of the shop.
"Where are you going?" Chu Tian was stunned and suddenly noticed something odd about his attire today.
In the past, he was always in work clothes, covered in all sorts of grease, and even black soot from explosions.
Today, when he came downstairs, he was surprisingly clean.
Even his hair was combed.
"Ah... uh... I have something to do!" Called by Chu Tian, he became a little flustered.
Chu Tian's face turned stern. "What is it? If you handle personal matters during work hours, your salary will be halved!"
"Ah? Boss, don't!" Mo Shi looked distressed, glanced back,
He gritted his teeth, sighed, and said, "At worst, I won't go!"
"Hey... are you throwing a tantrum at me? Tell me clearly, have you been frequently leaving early or skipping work when I'm not around?"
Chu Tian's stern words shocked Mo Shi.
"This... Boss... I'm sorry, I promise it won't happen again!"
"Haha..." Seeing his expression, Chu Tian found it amusing.
"I'm just kidding! Have I ever specified when your working hours are?"
"However, your status is not ordinary now, so be careful and don't get swindled."
Chu Tian could tell that this guy was definitely dating.
Seeing his silly appearance, it was probably not the first time, and he was still a novice.
So he gave him a reminder.
"Uh... it seems so, I don't have working hours!"
"I'm going then!" After saying that, he flashed past Chu Tian.
He couldn't believe that a life player could have such speed.
However, it seemed this kid didn't hear his reminder later!
Just as he was about to call him back, he stood at the shop entrance and turned back to Chu Tian, saying, "Boss, don't worry, Sister Qi Xi introduced her to me!
"At the time, I told her that I don't have time to manage these shops for you now... but she said she'd take care of it!"
After hearing this, Chu Tian became curious. Who was this woman that Qi Xi could vouch for so confidently?
Besides, Zhao Lei still didn't have a girlfriend, why would she introduce someone to him and not Zhao Lei?
They didn't know each other in reality!
It was strange.
Anyway, he had to go to the guild base later, so he could ask her then.
After bidding farewell to Mo Shi, Chu Tian asked Dao Tian when he would be able to come out.
Since he didn't get a reply, he sent a private message to his clone.
As expected, he replied that he needed more time, as he had just wiped out.
After this incident, Chu Tian knew that Dao Tian was not always aware of his thoughts.
Only when they contacted each other could their thoughts converse.
Since his clone was still not back.
He decided to go and understand the guild's situation from Qi Xi.
Before going, he visited the auction house again.
Checking his account, he saw that the three auction houses had brought in over nine thousand gold coins in the past few days.
The transaction volume was countless.
He left enough to pay the NPCs' salaries and withdrew the rest.
Mo Shi did not have management permissions for the auction house. It wasn't that Chu Tian didn't want to give it to him, but the system did not allow auction houses to set permissions.
Upon arriving at the base, he directly entered the management hall.
