Chapter 47: The Small Grocery Store
After returning from 'Rainbow Private Restaurant', Zhao Xue was somewhat listless, her small mouth pouting and not responding to Zhang Heng. On the way back just now, Zhang Heng received a call from Hei Tie Song Gang, asking him to return to 'Zhangjia Island' saying there was something going on, but didn't elaborate. Since Song Gang called, it means that something must have gone wrong on the island, otherwise that cold and aloof person wouldn't come bother him.
"Alright, look at that little mouth of yours, it's almost as if you're about to tie up a donkey." The car drove into the old courtyard, and Zhang Heng and Zhao Xue got out of the car one after the other.
"Hmph!" Zhao Xue turned her head and walked into the house with a swing of her hips!
Zhang Heng rubbed his nose and followed behind. This little girl's face was like the weather in June, unpredictable. He just said to let Zhao Xue stay in Yunhai City for school, and wait until winter break to go to the island, but this little girl's temper flared up.
She had taken a shower and came out of the bathroom, it was almost 11 pm. Walking back to the bedroom, Zhao Xue was hugging her laptop leaning against the headboard, chatting with someone! Seeing Zhang Heng coming in, she gave him a sideways glance, then pouted and lowered her head, fiercely typing on the keyboard.
Zhang Heng couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, who asked him to find a woman who would pout and was younger than himself? If it were an older sister, she definitely wouldn't be so petty and play temperamental with him over such a small thing.
"Wife, stop playing around, let's go to sleep!" Zhang Heng lifted the quilt, got in and hugged her waist, saying with a mischievous grin, his hands wandering under the quilt.
"Go to bed yourself!" Zhao Xue pouted, struggling a bit, but it was just for show, and she soon softened up, leaning into Zhang Heng's arms, her eyes still fixed on the computer screen.
Zhang Heng took a look and found that Xiao Ni was video chatting with her online friend, Wei Fangzheng, who was also Zhao Xue's best friend.
"Hi, handsome guy, good evening."
Wei Fangzheng was wearing a silk cartoon pajamas, giggling and waving at Zhang Heng, she had already seen Zhang Heng.
"Beauty, you're exposed!" Zhang Heng laughed and pointed at her, her pajamas were empty inside, two small beads bulged out, and the roots of her thighs could be seen from below!
Wei Fangzheng let out a cry, pulled the summer quilt over to block her chest, and with a red face, rolled her eyes and shouted: "Pervert, don't look around randomly!" When she was video chatting with Zhao Xue, she didn't care about these things. She had just finished taking a bath not long ago, and if Zhang Heng hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have realized it either.
Zhao Xue rolled her eyes and scolded, "What's the big deal about taking a look? Are you afraid of dying or something? With your figure, my husband wouldn't even bother to take a glance!"
"Xuě Xiǎo, weren't you just a flat airport before? Not as good as mine... Ah, right! You mentioned that breast enhancement pill, did you find it or not?" Wei Fangzhēn suddenly thought of something and changed the subject to ask. Now Zhao Xuě's figure, although not the 'explosively' full type, was still a thousand times better than her previous 'flat princess', making Wei Fangzhēn extremely envious.
"Want 'Feng Xiong Dan'? Haha, ask my husband! Mine was given by him!" Zhao Xue giggled and pointed at Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng rolled his eyes, what 'Feng Xiong Dan' (Breast Enhancement Pill), that's actually 'Xiong Bao Dan' (Bear Explosion Pill), the breast enhancement is just a side effect, not the main function!
"Handsome guy, I also want to eat the 'breast enhancement pill' that Xue Er eats. You can set any condition, even if it's to sacrifice myself, it's no problem!" Wei Fangzheng said, blushing and throwing a flirtatious glance at Zhang Heng, as if inviting him to take advantage of her!
"You little vixen, still trying to seduce my husband? Hmph, he wouldn't even give you a second glance!" Zhao Xue laughed and scolded, shutting off the video.
Wei Fangzheng sent over a 'spewing fire' emoji.
Zhao Xue's watery eyes sparkled with spring colors, and she turned her head to wrap her arms around Zhang Heng's neck, cooing: "Husband, you're so bad, no more! Just now I almost fell into the trap!" The quilt-covered Zhang Heng's mischievous hands never stopped, even slipping them inside.
Zhang Heng didn't waste any words, took the laptop off her body and threw it aside, then pounced on her with a wicked smile!
"Honey, I'll go back to the island with you too, okay? You see, if Snow didn't accompany you, wouldn't you be so lonely every day!" Zhao Xue hugged Zhang Heng's head and pressed it against her chest, panting and coaxingly saying. She wanted to follow Zhang Heng and return to Zhangjia Island together.
Separate those two slender little legs...
"Weren't you bored enough when we were on the island?" Zhang Heng turned over and let Xiaoyu ride on top of him, smiling as he gently scratched her little nose.
Zhao Xue's face turned red, and she wrinkled her small nose: "Others are just afraid that you will be bored alone on the island!"
……
After Zhao Xue fell asleep, Zhang Heng took his mobile phone and walked out of the bedroom!
In the game space, there is not much change, Zhang Heng still stays in 'Town of Sea Calming'! Smelling the slightly salty sea breeze, he has unknowingly gotten used to life by the sea.
The equipment on his body, except for the initial Dominating Sword, has now gathered a set of white boards, which can add quite a few attribute points.
"Welcome, Master!"
In the east of Zhenhai City, there was a small grocery store called "Zhao Cai Jin Bao". The place was not big, no more than 10 square meters. Inside, there were only two counters and a few pieces of equipment on the wall, with not many things. However, there was one red long gun weapon, which was considered the treasure of the small grocery store!
That red long gun was exploded from Da Di Shan Xiong Wang by Zhang Heng, with extremely awesome properties, but requires 'Character Level: 28.' Now, Zhang Heng is only level 12, and doesn't know when he'll be able to upgrade to level 28. It's better off being hung in the store to attract customers.
This small shop is rented by Zhang Heng from the city's east urban management department, with a monthly rent of 800,000 gold coins. The total area is nine square meters, and it's only one floor. After deducting various taxes, the monthly budget expenditure is 1 million gold coins!
Zhang Heng gritted his teeth and still rented this small shop. He went out to fight pirates, earning almost 10,000 gold coins every day, which was barely acceptable for such rent. The longer he spent in this game space, the deeper his understanding of it became.
Although Zhang Heng has not yet encountered other players, the indigenous people in the game space are basically no different from him. They are cunning, treacherous, and bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Each NPC has its own independent wisdom and thinking, and they are all flesh-and-blood people in the game space!
So, Zhang Heng also understood a truth: relying solely on killing monsters without sufficient luck would not make him rich, and he could barely scrape by. Moreover, the equipment and materials he obtained from killing monsters would lose two-thirds of their value when sold to the shops in the town, with those native shopkeepers reaping all the profits.
Producing and selling by oneself is undoubtedly the most cost-effective way!
After opening the store, there is another benefit, that is, he can also purchase items from the indigenous people at a lower price than buying from those merchants.
"Xiao Bao, have you received anything special in the past few days?" Zhang Heng first took out the account book from the store and checked it. Xiao Bao is a shop assistant he hired, an entry-level cashier!
The equipment he placed in the store was all overpriced, and that red 'Long Gun' was directly priced at 80 million gold coins by Zhang Heng. It's doomed to not sell!
He didn't actually want to sell it, just those ordinary things, who knows if they can still get the 'red weapon' in the future. Hanging the long gun in the store, just for people to visit and see, proving that although the store is small, it's not without good things. Anyway, the security in Town of Sea is very good, so he's not afraid of anyone coming to steal or rob.
Even if the long gun was stolen, the owner of Zhenhai City would be responsible for compensation, because the rental contract clearly stated that all property in the store was protected. Zhang Heng could pay 8,000 gold coins per month as a security management fee!
