Chapter 86 Stealing Business

Cocoa Bean thought about it for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, it will be based on the price you offered, but the time will start from the time we officially set off. "

"no problem."

The child of the night and I followed Cocoa Bean through a few streets and arrived at their location. Seeing the huge facade, I knew that Cocoa Bean’s travel agency was not a small organization. Otherwise, it would be impossible to rent such a large space in such a good location. Although the city facade of "Zero" is not as expensive as in reality, it is not much cheaper. This kind of facade in the central area of ​​the city costs at least 300 crystal coins every month.

"You're finally back." As soon as Cocoa Bean walked to the door, a woman ran out. She looked at us and then said to Cocoa Bean, "Are they the guards you hired?"

Cocoa Bean immediately pulled the woman and said: "These two have just completed the guard certificate. The one over there is a second-class A, and the one here is the king of guards."

The woman looked at me a few more times in surprise: "Are you the King of Guards?"

Ben and I don't want to talk nonsense with her, time is of the essence. "Where are your people? We don't have much time."

Cocoa Bean said quickly: "I'll take you there right now. This is just our facade. The team has been waiting at the city gate for a long time. It should have set off in the morning. You guys wait for me here first, and I'll go Then permission to leave the city."

"Do you still need permission to go out of the city?"

"Because we are a mineral producing area, in order to ensure the safety of the mining area and prevent entrainment, permission is required to leave the city. However, our travel agency has a group permit, so you don't need to apply for it individually."

Hehe, I didn’t expect that greed for money would lead to a license. Although the gate may not stop us, it is better to go out with a permit than to rush through the border, right?

Cocoa beans go in and get the permit. The woman outside walked around us several times as if watching monkeys, but she didn't say anything and I couldn't say anything. Cocoa Bean quickly ran out and took us to the city gate. There were hundreds of cavalry guarding the place, and the city gate was actually closed. People who want to leave the city must first go up the city wall, and then enter a large box like an elevator. The guards will slowly put the box under the city wall. Cocoa Bean explained to us that there are many monsters here, and the forest is next to the city wall, so there is no time to close the door when the monsters come out. So I just don’t open the door normally.

When we went down to the city wall, we saw a lot of people standing by the door. Although these seemed to be tourists, they obviously did not belong to the same tourist group, because each group had its own flag. Cocoa Bean took us into one of the larger teams. Good guy, this team has at least fifty people. Compared to the team members, the animals standing next to the team members made me more curious. The creature looks like some kind of dinosaur. Their body shape is somewhat similar to the small hunting dragons of the sub-dragon cavalry, but they look thinner. Not as strong as the little Venator looks like. These subsaurus creatures are about two meters tall, with dark green skin and small heads. Judging from their teeth, they should be the type that eats plant fruits and insects.

Ye Zhizi looked at the Yalong in front of him and said, "Don't you think this thing looks like a Qingdao dragon?"

I shook my head: "I think it looks more like an enlarged version of the Thin Eros."

Cocoa Bean said: "These are our special mounts, croaking dragons, because their cry is croaking. So they are called croaking dragons. Although they have no combat effectiveness, they are very fast, have good jumping ability, and have good endurance. You three Do you need me to prepare a mount?"

"Just one." I originally planned to let the contract goddess ride with me. But now that I have a mount, there is no need to squeeze.

Cocoa Bean turned around and said to those who were talking about it: "Everyone, please note that these three people are traveling with us, and two of them are our newly hired guards. This Son of the Night is a second-class special guard, and this Purple Sun He is the only guard king in the city."

When Coco Bean said this, not only the people in the team but also the people from the surrounding travel agencies looked over. Various travel agencies mainly rely on the strength of their escorts and the extensive experience of their tour guides. Being able to hire the king of escorts is a kind of publicity in itself.

Almost as soon as Cocoa Bean finished speaking, people from the surrounding teams came over and asked me if I could join the team. I pointed at Cocoa Bean and said, "He is the boss, I don't care about this."

Don't tell me yet. The effect of my advertising was indeed good, and the team expanded to nearly 200 people in the blink of an eye. The people from several travel agencies nearby were so angry that they couldn't help it.

Ye Zhizi whispered to me: "I knew you should have asked for more money."

I sighed: "I didn't know this business was so good! We lost because of lack of information. If I had known that my brand was so attractive, I should have asked him for triple the money."

After a while, Cocoa Bean attracted many people from other people's teams, and someone from a relatively large travel agency finally couldn't help but walked over. The other party's guard and Cocoa Bean got into a quarrel immediately after saying something wrong, and then started pushing and shoving, obviously planning to fight.

At first the woman said to us: "Why don't you go help?"

I spread my hands and said, "The cocoa beans asked for it themselves."

"He asked for the land himself?" The woman was curious about how Cocoa Bean could make such a strange request.

I explained: "Cocoa Bean said that we will calculate wages from the official start, which means that we are not yet your employees. This kind of fight has nothing to do with us."

The woman pointed at me and wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything. She turned around and called other guards over and started to fight and fight with those people. Ye Zhizi and I were watching the fun. I am already very depressed with such a low salary, even if I have to fight. I'm almost out of my mind. We got a big rock and sat down with the Son of the Night to watch and eat melon seeds. This is our style.

Someone soon joined the fight over there. Of course the tourists would not help, but other travel agencies had their business robbed. Of course, they all started to cause trouble for Cocoa Bean. They had a lot of guards, but several other travel agencies together It's a bit overwhelming for them.

The chaos of the fight began to escalate. I don't know who used the weapon first, and someone was cut down. The fight has escalated into a PK. It seems like the fun is great now. Cocoa Bean over there was slapped by someone, and he climbed out of the crowd with a bloody head and waved to us: "Let's start from now on, and start counting wages now."

"Hey, let's count the wages." I stood up and handed the melon seeds to Ye Zhizi and then patted the shells stuck to my body. "You sit down for a while. I'll help them fight."

People from the other party's travel agency saw me walking towards the battle group, and several people immediately came to greet me in advance. As soon as the first person came to me, he swiped his hammer from the side toward my temple. I stretched out my left hand to catch the head of his hammer, and sparks suddenly shot out.

The person on the right took advantage of me holding the hammer of the guy on the left and almost slashed at him with a knife. I flicked my right hand. The dragon's sinew rope immediately wrapped around his neck as soon as it touched it. He stopped in surprise and held the rope with his hand. I raised my left hand and brought the guy over with the hammer and others. He raised his leg and kicked him away, threw his hammer and knocked down the third person, and flicked the dragon's tendon with his free left hand. Buzz, there was a sound of vibrating strings, and the guy's head and fingers were cut off simultaneously.

Continue to walk around the crowd and shoot an arrow at the guy coming up. Right between the eyebrows, forward and out. The guy just stood there with his eyes wide open. When I walked past him, I gave him a gentle push on the side, and the guy immediately fell down with a loud roar.

Walking into the crowd, he picked up the eternal transformation into a whip sword and danced with his right hand. The sword blade turned into a whip and was thrown out, and it hung on a guy's neck with a clang. With a strong force, the head came back but the body fell down. I shook the hilt of the sword. The whip blade flickered, and the guy next to him immediately lost his head. A man next to me was holding a sword and wanted to come over to help. I threw the sword back, but thanks to his quick reaction, Eternity only got entangled in his arm and sword. I jerked around, and the sword blade wrapped around his arm and sword suddenly tightened, and the guy's arm and sword broke into more than ten sections and fell to the ground.

A guy behind me wanted to sneak up on him, but I didn't even turn around. With a sweep of its wings, the guy flew out. He turned around and grabbed a guy who was attacking the cocoa beans, lifted him up and threw him out of the battle group. He also grabbed another guy who was causing trouble and threw him out, and then he picked up the cocoa beans. "Get your men back. I won't be able to attack you if you are mixed together."

Cocoa Bean nodded and picked up one of his own people and ran out. "Green Haitians come out."

At this shout, all the guards from Green Sea Travel Agency ran out, and Ke Ke Dou shouted to me: "We have no one left."

I heard the sound and jumped straight into the sky and spread my wings and flew. "Lucky, clear."

The black hole in space suddenly appeared, and Lucky got out of it and opened his mouth to the melee crowd with a dragon flame. People nearby had to keep retreating due to the high temperature. The people in the center were all finished in a short time. Lucky squirted and returned to the Fenglong space. I also landed on the ground again, and there was only some black dust left on the ground. Even the city wall burned a large area red. Fortunately, the time was short, otherwise I would have been in trouble if I had to pay for the damage to the city wall.

As soon as I landed, all the guards of the Green Sea cheered, but Cocoa Bean shouted to the surroundings: "This is our King of Guards of the Green Sea. This time we are going on an irregular adventure deep in the forest. Anyone who is willing to join us?" Come on."

At first, Cocoa Bean used my reputation to attract people, but he did not directly steal customers. This time, it was a falling out anyway, and he simply directly grabbed customers from other teams. Now many customers saw the strength of our side and started to leave the team and asked to join our side. Seeing that the team was almost 300 people, it was really troublesome for such a large team to go out. It seemed like I was doing more business. It's a great loss.

While the cocoa beans were idle, I quickly said: "Although we have agreed on the price, can you please pay attention? It is difficult to protect a team with so many people. If you recruit more people, I will increase the salary, otherwise I will not work." ”

Cocoa Bean didn't get angry at all and said straightforwardly: "You two's salary will be doubled."

faint! This guy has made it clear that he wants money rather than his life.

By the time Cocoa Bean found everyone, it was already 2:30 pm local time, and our team had expanded to 500 people, ten times the original number. After excluding a dozen guards, there are still more than 480 tourists, and more than 400 of them are non-combat players with no fighting ability at all. Such a huge team is simply causing chaos for me.

After briefly treating a few injured guards in the team, Cocoa Bean finally announced that they were ready to go. For the first time, Nightchild and I summoned Steel Claws to act as mounts in front of them. Cocoa Bean heard us say that he had a mount, but he didn't expect that our mount was a combat type. Generally, combat mounts are a rare type. Most mounts are purely means of transportation, but ours is obviously more like a killing weapon.

Steel Claws are indeed smaller in size than giant dragons, but compared to other creatures they are still large creatures. As soon as the two steel claws came out, they immediately attracted Coco Bean's attention, and he quickly ran to our side.

"Um, Ziri, it seems like the mounts you two have are of the same type, right?"

I looked at him and said: "This creature is called Steel Claw, but the Son of the Night is an ordinary Steel Claw, and I am the leader of the Steel Claw. So it is slightly larger."

"So you have a lot of them?"

I knew what he was thinking without even finishing what Coco Bean said. I didn’t even give him a chance and said directly: “Strategic materials will never be sold, so don’t count on it.”

Cocoa Bean immediately smiled and said: "Then where did you find it? I can catch it myself. Don't worry, I won't leak the location. Only my people know it. I can spend money to buy your information."

I laughed: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"What's wrong?"

"This is Steel Claw, not a wild horse. Your people will die before they can even reach their settlement."

"As long as you tell us the location. Whether we can get it or not is none of your business."

I shook my head and said: "The location is a secret. I have an agreement with the owner there and must keep it secret. No matter how much money you pay, it is impossible. And to tell you the truth, even if your small travel agency is sold out, it will only be a fraction of what others paid." . It’s not enough to see. In fact, I can tell you the name of the place, but I can’t tell you the specific location.”

"It's okay if you have a name. I can go find out."

"No need to ask, you must have heard of this name. The origin of the steel claw is Asia Dragon Island. Its approximate location is in the Pacific Ocean. If you are interested, just find it yourself."

A tourist who was relatively close to us smiled and said: "Purple Sun Guards, you might as well tell him to forget about it on earth. The Pacific Ocean is really a big enough target."

A tourist at the back said: "I've heard of Dragon Island, but I don't know its location. I heard it's a dragon settlement and is protected by an illusion barrier around it. And think about it, the island is full of giant dragons. It's hard to get in there." Are you making it clear that you are stepping on others?"

A combat tourist said: "Don't talk about Dragon Island. Last time I went to attack the flying dragon's nest with people from my guild. It was terrifying. There were more than a thousand people and not a single one was left in less than ten minutes. It was just a flying dragon. , what if the giant dragon thinks about it himself!"

Cocoa Bean lowered his head depressedly and said: "Alas! It seems that I am too greedy."

"Greed is a virtue." I looked at the cocoa beans and said, "I have something to discuss with you, but before that we go into the forest and talk while walking, don't stand all the time."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Cocoa Bean quickly waved to the back for everyone to move forward.

In reality, no animals would dare to attack a team of more than 500 people. But it's different in the game. Zero's system will arrange the concentration of monsters according to the number of people entering the monster area. Once a large group of people like us encounters a monster, it will definitely not be dispatched in small groups of just a few or two. It will definitely be a large-scale battle. But this is now the edge of the forest. We don't need to worry about these issues for now.

After the team started to move forward, the tourists began to look around. Some players who were learning to collect would study whether there were any materials that could be used. Those players who were professional chefs also began to analyze whether various plants could be used as garnishes.

The Contract Goddess led us at the front of the team, and the Son of the Night and I followed behind, with Cocoa Bean beside us.

Cocoa Bean asked: "What did you mean by greed just now?"

I smiled and said: "Greed is a kind of motivation. If a person running a commercial enterprise does not have this virtue, then the company will have no other path but bankruptcy. Only if you continue to yearn to develop a stronger company can you truly become a company." A good businessman. But along with greed you must also have another virtue."

"what?"

"cautious."

Cocoa Bean nodded: "I understand what you are saying. Greed without careful protection will only lead to bankruptcy faster."

I smiled and said: "Very good, you are indeed a good operator. Do you own this travel agency?"

"I made it together with others." Cocoa Bean pointed to the woman behind and said, "That's my partner's wife. They and their wife own half of the assets of our travel agency, and I have the other half."

I said to Cocoa Bean: "Do you think there is a future in your career?"

Cocoa Bean said: "The future is pretty good. Now everyone is tired of city life. This kind of forest tourism is very popular. Some of our regular customers even come here once or twice a month. The environmental effect of "Zero" is very awesome 'Really, those people said that traveling in the game is cheaper and more fun than outside. With the development here, we will have more and more tourists, so the prospects are very good." At this point, he suddenly became depressed again. "But the current situation is also very troublesome. Although the customer base is rich and the profits are high, there are too many people running travel agencies. The result of everyone's competition for tourists is to keep lowering prices. As a result, it becomes less and less profitable. An organization like ours is quite relatively It’s better, mainly because my partner hired these croaking dragons, which grabbed a lot of customers for us. Moreover, my partner and I joined our travel agency through this. In fact, the money and manpower are mine, and he contributes There are only croaking dragons.”

"So you really want Steel Claw so that you can go out and open your own travel agency on your own, right?"

"That's right!" Cocoa Bean said excitedly: "Actually, people in Europe are very generous when they travel. They don't care about the money at all. What they value is the service and the quality of tourist attractions. As long as you can get something special." Come, even if it’s a lot more expensive, people will still participate. Our group’s travel fee is actually more than double that of other groups, but our business is still good, just because of this dragon. These days, everyone is afraid of being tired, so dragon riding tourism has become Popular, other clubs tried to steal our croaking dragon to raise back last time, but they were discovered. Your steel claw itself is a combat creature. If you can use it as a mount, you can even save the guard, and this thing is so Big, make a big saddle and you can ride a lot of people on it, it is definitely a magic weapon to make money. It’s a pity that the place of production is Dragon Island, I guess we won’t be able to go up there.”

I smiled and said, "Then if I use Steel Claw as capital to cooperate with you, would you be willing to separate from your partners and re-establish a travel agency with me?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"No kidding, I'm serious, it depends on whether you are willing or not."

In fact, what I want to do is much more than just forming a small tour group together. I just want to recruit the talent of Cocoa Bean. This person has a good brain and a very good business acumen. He is definitely a character who can play his own role. Those who can fight are talents, and those who can do business are also talents. If you are a talent, you cannot let it go.

After the system is upgraded soon, the NPC guards will start to be supported by the guilds themselves. Although the cost of NPCs in our guild is lower than that of other guilds, they still cost money. I'm thinking that if this team is idle, it's better to develop the remaining value. NPC guards can serve as tour group guards when they have nothing to do, so that they can make money to supplement their expenses. Even if I can't make extra money, as long as I can achieve my own self-sufficiency, I will be satisfied.

In addition, Chile is a major producer of copper ore and timber. In the future, a port will definitely be established here to transport cheap materials back. If we first lay the foundation for organizing tour groups here, we will not be blinded. .

In addition to the above advantages, there are many benefits. For example, we can use the advantages of the local people in cocoa beans to squeeze out the Japanese forces, and with our secret support, we can drive Japanese ships out of Chilean territorial waters. For Japan, a country without resources, it can be strangled by cutting off its resource supply.

The plan was too huge and I couldn’t let Cocoa Bean know too much about it for the time being, so I just got him to partner up in a tour group first.
