The Super Universe Leveling Game

0Duan Gongzi had already given them face, so it was impossible for Dongfang Qingyu to just sit there and watch the competition. The first round of the competition was not enough to arouse their interest. If it was not for the bet, these big shots might have left after watching the first match. They were only able to last until the fifth or sixth match because they respected Elder Ran and Shi Hongye. After the two left, Dongfang Qingyu and the others left as well.    

    

Duan Gongzi and Huang Jianren personally sent them off. They thanked them and spoke in a friendly manner.    

    

"How do you feel?" After leaving the competition venue, Dongfang Qingyu did not leave immediately. She took out two masks and put them on Xiao Yiren and herself. They walked on the streets of "Chaoge City". Both of them were famous people in the "Cosmos". If they showed up in their original appearance, it would be easy for them to attract attention.    

    

"It's just the beginning, so I can't see too much. However, there are quite a few jade-brand enterprises on the list. They include steel, daily necessities, chemical, design, transmission, and so on. They are involved in dozens of industries. Each enterprise has a huge chain of business. These enterprises basically ensure the stability of "Chaoge City"," Xiao Yiren said.    

    

"Why don't these enterprises come to Black Tortoise City?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.    

    

The corner of Xiao Yiren's mouth twitched, but she did not say anything.    

    

"There are people who can be officials, hehe!" Dongfang Qingyu suddenly stopped. In front of her was a shop selling figurines. The shop was not big, but it was decorated exquisitely. It was the style of "top quality".    

    

The shop's face was also very interesting. "Hey, hey, hey." Dongfang Qingyu did not know what it meant.    

    

The shelf was filled with a dazzling variety of figurines. There were things from the real world, such as Transformers, Ultraman, Hel Brothers, and King Kong. There were also things from the Cosmos, such as slime, snot bugs, ice phoenix, earth bear, fiery lion, and so on. There was also the pink series that girls liked, Snow White Princess, Mermaid Princess, Barbie dolls... This was the first time Dongfang Qingyu had seen so many figurines, and he was quite curious.    

    

"If the shop has anything you like, you can order it." A soft voice sounded in his ears, as if the wind of spring had blown through the willows.    

    

Dongfang Qingyu turned his head and was stunned. What a beautiful and delicate face. His long black hair covered half of his face, half covered, half concealed. His eyes were like a paintbrush, and his long eyelashes seemed to be frightened by Dongfang Qingyu's sharp gaze. They trembled slightly.    

    

"You're the boss?" Dongfang Qingyu retracted his gaze and looked at the figurines again. Sun Wukong was the main character of the country's most famous TV series, Journey to the West. His popularity was needless to say, and everyone knew about him. When Dongfang Qingyu was young, he had used a stick to model the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. He felt that Sun Wukong's spinning of the stick was extremely cool.    

    

"Yes!" The girl took half a step back. Perhaps Dongfang Qingyu's gaze was too sharp, and she was a little afraid.    

    

"You are still a student, right?" Dongfang Qingyu's gaze shifted to Nezha. The little Nezha was alive and kicking. The Heavenly Silk, the Wind and Fire Wheel, the Vajra Ring, and the Fire-tipped Spear were all extremely realistic. Nezha had two forms. One was the normal form, and the other was the three-headed and six-armed form.    

    

"Yes!" The girl nodded.    

    

"At this time, you should be in school, right?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.    

    

"I am a fourth-year student, and I'm out on an internship," the girl said.    

    

"Did you make these figurines?" Dongfang Qingyu stretched out his hand to pick up the three-headed and six-armed Nezha to take a closer look. Just as he was about to touch it, he put his hand down as if he was afraid of breaking it.    

    

"I made them with a few of my classmates," the girl said.    

    

"Your craftsmanship is really not bad. You can sell quite a few of them every day, right?" Dongfang Qingyu praised.    

    

"There are a lot of people who look at them, but there are very few people who buy them," the girl said with some regret.    

    

"Why?" Dongfang Qingyu was puzzled. With his eyes, he could see that these figurines were all of the highest quality.    

    

"Maybe we didn't make them well enough," the girl said.    

    

"With my eyes, they are already very good," Dongfang Qingyu said.    

    

"Thank you for your praise, sir. If it wasn't for this reason, I wouldn't know," the girl said.    

    

"Where did you open your shop before?" Xiao Yiren suddenly asked.    

    

"White Tiger City," the girl replied.    

    

"White Tiger City's players are mainly Warriors and Knights, and they are mainly men. They mainly buy things for practical purposes. They won't pay for things they don't need. Why don't you try going to Black Tortoise City?" Xiao Yiren asked.    

    

"We opened the shop a little late, and we've also gone to the Black Tortoise City to inspect it. The rent is too expensive, and we don't have the money to pay for it. There was a senior brother's shop in White Tiger City, and he gave us a low price, so we went to White Tiger City." After being reminded by Xiao Yiren, the girl seemed to have understood.    

    

"When the economy is booming, your business will be popular. Now that the economy is declining, you should be able to survive for a while," Xiao Yiren said.    

    

"This is what we study," the girl said helplessly.    

    

"There is such a profession?" Dongfang Qingyu was amazed. He pointed at the four people from Journey to the West and said, "This, give me one set."    

    

"Wait a moment, I'll pack it for you." The girl was very excited. This was the first order since the opening of "Chaoge City." The Tripitaka and his disciples were actually five items, including the White Dragon Horse. The total price was 480 yuan, and this was still a 20% discount.    

    

Dongfang Qingyu clicked his tongue. It was not that he could not afford the money, but for ordinary people, 480 yuan was not a small amount. Some people might not even have that much a month's salary. He now understood why business was not good. It was expensive! It was obviously unrealistic for a person who ate instant noodles to buy a figurine. Only those who had money and had spare time would be willing to spend money. Only then would they be able to afford the money.    

    

If he was just an ordinary working class, he would definitely keep his distance from the "Ah Yaya".    

    

"There is no way to use a machine to make a figurine. Every one of them is made with hands. From the planning, to the research, to the design, to the drawing, to the production, to the polishing, and so on, it requires four people to work together. It takes up to 60 to 100 hours, so the price will be a little expensive. However, I can guarantee that every figurine is unique, and there will not be an identical one." As if she could see the doubt in Dongfang Qingyu's eyes, the girl quickly explained.    

    

"Do you have a business card?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.    

    

"No!" The girl said embarrassedly, "I forgot about this."    

    

"Can you add me your contact information?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.    

    

"Sure. If you have any questions in the future, or if you want to maintain it, you can ask me anytime." The girl did not suspect that Dongfang Qingyu was trying to get close to him or anything else. The main thing was that Dongfang Qingyu's masked face would not cause people to have any bad fantasies. One look and you could tell that she was an honest person.    

    

"I'm very happy today. I bought such a beautiful figurine. Let's go." Dongfang Qingyu left with a smile. After all, it was a virtual item. If there was such an exquisite figurine in real life, he would definitely buy a large pile of them at home to decorate.    

    

Statue figurines were a type of relatively unpopular collection. Those who liked them would not hesitate to spend a lot of money to search the entire country for them. Some people even specially built a villa just to store the figurines.    

    

"Dongfang Qingyu? Why does this ID look like the City Lord of the Black Tortoise City? Why is he still following the trend at such an old age?" After adding the contact details, she could see the basic information of the other party. The words "Dongfang Qingyu" surprised the girl greatly. Dongfang Qingyu's age was at least forty years old.    

    

...    

    

"At first, I thought it was a two yuan shop on the side of the road. I didn't expect that the price would be multiplied by a few thousand times. Is this considered a luxury item?" Dongfang Qingyu asked Xiao Ruiren.    

    

"To the boss, it's just a two yuan shop," Xiao Ruiren said. A person who could earn more than four million yuan just by watching a match would not care about a few thousand yuan.    

    

"Is the price of our Black Tortoise City's shop already so scary?" Dongfang Qingyu was very surprised. It had been a long time since he had paid attention to these problems.    

    

"The price of Black Tortoise City's house is currently the highest in the game, even higher than that of Azure Dragon City," Xiao Ruiren said.    

    

"Is there a problem?" Dongfang Qingyu always had an inexplicable fear towards the high price of the house. It was like a sword hanging in the air, and it could fall at any time.    

    

"There won't be a problem. Our company has already suppressed the price a few times. Otherwise, the price would have at least risen by 80%. Our company's treatment is good, so we will naturally support the price. This is a normal market behavior," Xiao Ruiren said.    

    

"However, this is not very friendly for the entrepreneurs," Dongfang Qingyu said.    

    

"We can introduce a protection measure for the first entrepreneurs, such as free rent, subsidies, and so on," Xiao Yi said.    

    

"Create a plan. No matter what, a city cannot lack fresh blood," Dongfang Qingyu said.    

    

"Yes!" Xiao Yi also realized that she had overlooked this aspect. The high price of housing was a symbol of the development of a city, but it also hinted at the cruel competition, making some young people lose the qualifications to enter.    

    

"Handle the work at Eastsea Port. Continue to be in charge of the affairs of the Black Tortoise City Group." Dongfang Qingyu's thinking was very fast.    

    

"Yes!" Xiao Yi was not surprised at all.    

    

"Huang Jianren's performance is too quiet. This doesn't suit his style. Pay more attention to him. I feel that he will cause trouble. As for the specifics, I don't know, but he will definitely do something. He has Young Master Duan to protect him, so it's very difficult for us to do anything to him. So, if you want to beat him, you have to beat him to death. It won't hurt him, but it will make him more vigilant," Dongfang Qingyu said.    

    

"I'll arrange it immediately." Xiao Yi's heart was cold. Based on her analysis of Huang Jianren's information, he was definitely not a kind person.    

    

"Everyone is a lazy animal. The construction of the Black Tortoise City in the past was very good, and it was one of the best in the various cities. However, you have seen the design of Chaoge City. With this comparison, the difference is obvious. If it were me, I would also choose Chaoge City," Dongfang Qingyu said.    

    

"After we go back, I will immediately prepare a plan," Xiao Yi said.    

    

"We spent money on Chaoge City, but it still worked. Now, we will see how Huang Jianren plays the part. I hope he will disappoint us. Let's go back." The smile on Dongfang Qingyu's face was meaningful.
