In the past, it's best not to turn back the pages, as dust will cloud one's eyes. Some people can't explain what makes them special, but they are irreplaceable! Those who once vowed never to part have long scattered across the horizon. The game feels so illusory, and those lost memories will forever be sealed away. Gather your emotions and continue with your mission.
Previously, I accepted two tasks related to Xixi from Zhou Tianshi: one is the Wrapped Silver Martial Arts Seal, and the other is the Way to Make Money. The Way to Make Money requires consulting Rui Fuxiang at the Grocery Store in Luoyang City about the knowledge of strange items, while the first task involves purchasing a White Jade Bottle from Rui Fuxiang to find Tong Guan.
It's essential to plan the task route carefully and think clearly to avoid unnecessary detours. Many people say that the old Heavenly Dragon lacked technical depth; however, today's Asking Heaven has already become a dominant force in the gaming industry. Anyone who claims it lacks substance might get drowned by millions of players. It's important to know that Asking Heaven's Virtual Character entering the game world was a groundbreaking product.
Gradually, Lufeng also understood the price of growth. Only through experiencing storms can one face the future with composure. For now, one can only live in the present; every industry has its value. In the 21st century, it’s a world where "there are no tigers in business, and games reign supreme." How many people cannot extricate themselves? How many wander in dreams? How many obsessively save just for a game item? It's tragic and lamentable.
For Lufeng, the current gaming industry represents an opportunity because everyone involved in creating Myth Studio has been immersed in games and knows how to deal with addiction and choices. They deeply understand the balance between profit and entertainment and can rise above mere gaming for its own sake, knowing how to gain personal benefits from games.
The Luoyang Rare Beast Shop is relatively close to the Grocery Store. With a movement speed of 130% on his flying dragon, Lufeng and his companions quickly found the Grocery Store and its shopkeeper.
Seeing Rui Fuxiang dressed like a merchant made Lufeng feel as if he had traveled back to ancient times. He empathized: "Shopkeeper, I would like a White Jade Bottle."
Rui Fuxiang remained unfazed and calmly replied, "First answer me this question: Why do people come bustling into this world? And why do they leave bustling?"
Lufeng broke into a sweat, thinking to himself that perhaps this elder was suffering from dementia; after all, those were two questions! Well, since he knew the answer anyway, he took two steps at once: "The world is bustling with profit. The world is bustling with people coming for profit. The world is bustling with people going for profit."
Rui Fuxiang nodded sadly: "Hmm, not bad. The White Jade Bottle is yours; you have relieved my guilt that has lingered for years!"
Naturally delighted to receive an item for free, Lufeng was curious about why this shopkeeper was giving him something without charge: "What do you mean by that?"
Rui Fuxiang looked up at Lufeng with a faint smile: "You should know that everyone says merchants are not deceitful, but I came into business for profit; that should be natural. Yet consumers often call me 'scam artist' behind my back—how can that be considered scamming? One day I saw a poor boy trying to buy something for his mother but didn't have enough money; I refused to sell it to him. Later, he tragically drowned himself in despair over it, leaving me guilty ever since... Today hearing your words is worth more than ten years of study; I no longer need to be confused about this matter. Everyone in this world is like this; why should I make myself unhappy? But I understand I also bear some responsibility. I've decided to support his family from now on... To thank you, I will pass on my merchant skills to you."
After listening to a lot of nonsense, Lufeng had already become a bit dispirited, but the last sentence suddenly energized him, and he straightened his back: "Thank you so much!"
Rui Fuxiang smiled slightly: "This is what you deserve. Previously, more than ten people came to me wanting to buy the White Jade Bottle, but whenever I asked them the same question, they would say that the NPC was out of their mind. I really don't understand people like you, but they won't be able to buy anything from me."
Lufeng wiped away a virtual sweat; fortunately, he had read Kangxi's Secret Visits. However, that famous saying was already common knowledge, and those brainless players who thought the NPC was out of their mind were truly clueless.
"Well, actually, I was also a poor person. Wealth comes from a frugal family. As long as you don't waste any strange items dropped by monsters, you can sell them for a good price at my Grocery Store. With your current strength, you can travel to many places. You don't need to collect any Eight Treasures Can; just focus on running your store well!" After saying this, Rui Fuxiang granted Lufeng the merchant title of The Best Shopkeeper in the World.
"Ding—"
With a loud sound, the Duty-Free Shop made its grand entrance:
System Announcement: The Best Shopkeeper in the World Lufeng has opened the only Duty-Free Shop in Asking Heaven, which can make one free announcement for goods every day!
Upon hearing the System Announcement, not only were all players in Asking Heaven stunned, but Lufeng was also taken aback. He had thought Rui Fuxiang was just giving him a regular shop, but it turned out to be the only Duty-Free Shop. This was like a pie falling from the sky; happiness came so quickly that Lufeng found it hard to come back to his senses. Wang Xiaojing and others were also staring at Lufeng in disbelief.
The Duty-Free Shop was not just about being tax-free; the key point was that the store name was independent. This meant it would attract countless players, allowing for the great dream of sleeping until naturally waking up and counting money until one's hands cramped.
Lufeng had always focused on money-making strategies and found plenty of insights within them. However, there were very few mentions of making money through merchant associations. Most people simply recounted their own paths to wealth—such as what they sold or how they made money—without presenting a more complete business concept. The main reason for this was related to store tax rates; many people opened shops only to go bankrupt, which wasn't just due to a lack of experience.
While everyone was immersed in this great joy, Lufeng quickly regained his composure. The road ahead was still long; everyone's expenses were quite high, and he needed to find a stable way to make money for everyone. However, it seemed that for now, with the Duty-Free Shop established, relying on others' money-making methods could yield decent profits in the short term after those methods were revealed. Still, it wasn't a long-term profit strategy; therefore, Lufeng needed to develop a business concept.
In fact, Lufeng had previously run a shop during his time playing Heavenly Dragon. After being verified by the System for exceeding idle time on an automatic play session, he finally had a chance to enter prison. Fortunately, he stole half a day's leisure while chatting with a customer friend in his small shop. He mentioned that the existence of small shops was like a scenic spot on this server. After enjoying that conversation for quite some time, an idea he had always held resurfaced. He had been running a shop in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils for some time now; initially, it was because he could never find cooking items for Sect Missions and had to do it himself. Later on, he had an idea to make things convenient for everyone and opened a shop specializing in food items. For long-term development, he positioned it as a wholesale store and thus named it "Shadow Merchant · Wholesale."
