Chapter 232: The Direction of the Shop’s Development

After ending the conversation with Twinkle Rose, Lorne first arrived at the Dragon One shop.

As soon as he entered the shop, the manager, Rona, greeted him.

“Master, long time no see.”

“Yes, long time no see, Rona.”

Lorne nodded, “How’s the situation at the shop recently?”

“Originally, development was relatively slow, but with the Guild Establishment Token provided by Master, the sales of the shop obtained an earth-shattering increase. In addition, the antidote treaty signed with the Alchemist Association also brought huge benefits to the shop.”

Rona took out the shop’s bill and said, “Master, look. This is the income of the shop in the past few days. The Guild Establishment Token has brought a terrifying increase in sales for the shop, and the antidote has brought a high popularity to the shop.”

“Because there are no antidotes for sale in the surrounding shops, most of the adventurers who revived and left nearby will choose to come to our shops to buy potions.”

“Because of this, the income of the other businesses in the shop is also very impressive.”

Listening to Rona’s report, Lorne also carefully checked the shop’s accounts and found that the recent income had indeed increased greatly.

A week ago, the income of Dragon One Shop was about 700 gold coins.

A week later, the income of Dragon One Shop soared to 2,100 gold coins.

This income was the income after excluding the “Guild Establishment Token”. It was the benefits of the shop itself. The profit per day was three times that of before.

“Is there a problem?” Lorne asked.

“Yes.” Rona nodded, “Seven days ago, the shop auctioned the first Guild Establishment Token, which led to the increase in customer flow and even a phenomenon of multiplying. This is the most important value performance for a shop. However, four days ago, the customer flow of Dragon One stopped increasing, and its performance stagnated at the current stage.”

“The main reason for this problem is that the scope of the shop is limited. The sales space of Dragon One Shop is only more than a hundred square meters. Even if the adventurers don’t stay for long, we can’t support such a huge customer flow.”

Lorne nodded.

He also knew that the benefits that a shop could earn were limited.

Moreover, the area of Dragon One was so small. To be able to earn 2,100 gold coins was already the limit.

“What do you think?”

“Master, I think there are two ways to make the shop earn more.”

Rona extended two fingers and said, “Firstly, we need to increase the quality of the goods. We will no longer provide low-profit goods like the HP potion. We will save all the counters on the first floor and specially sell higher-priced equipment and other special items.”

“At the same time, it can also increase sales. We will use the limited space of the shop to obtain the greatest benefits.”

“Secondly, we can expand the area of our shops. larger shops can have more counters, deal with more transactions, and accommodate more customers.”

It had to be said that a high-level NPC like Rona had a very strong business mind. She could consider many things and even make many judgments.

Lorne agreed with her.

However, it might be difficult to expand the shop.

All the businesses in Iron Skull City belonged to Iron Skull City itself. Even these shops owned by the Alchemist Association were indicators distributed by Iron Skull City.

It might not be too difficult to obtain the management rights of a shop, but to have two shops at the same time and even want to merge them, this was too testing the player’s background.

If he did not contribute enough to Iron Skull City, it would be an extremely difficult goal.

Lorne thought for a moment, then looked at Rona, “Which do you think is more suitable for us?”

“The second plan is more suitable for future development, but to realize it, we need to pay a greater price. Moreover, this price might be something that Master cannot afford for the time being.”

“Compared to the second plan, I’m more confident in the first plan. I’m confident in increasing the quality of the goods and creating the Dragon One brand. It might be more suitable for the current situation. After all, we fully manage Dragon One. I believe that as long as we operate this well, we can bring in enough profits.” Rona said.

Her consideration was not unreasonable. The current adventurers could not come into contact with the highest levels of Iron Skull City. Even Lorne had not seen the City Lord of Iron Skull City, let alone others.

Therefore, it was very difficult to create private benefits under the strict rules of Iron Skull City.

Lorne did not plan to develop in Iron Skull City.

Now that he had the Cold Desolate Dragon City, as long as he could properly build it, he could reach the same level of status as the City Lord of Iron Skull City in the future.

“Let’s do as you think. Even if we can buy more shops, we have to go on the high-end route. Only then can we stabilize our business position.”

“In addition, go and manage your relationship with other trading companies. In the future, we will have our own territory. At that time, they will become a bridge between us and Iron Skull City,” Lorne said.

“Yes, I’ll arrange it immediately.”

Hearing Lorne’s plan, Rona was very excited. After discussing with him, she immediately took action.

Lorne was also about to leave the shop to find President Doge.

However, just as he walked out of the shop and arrived at the street, he suddenly saw a group of players in luxurious equipment walking out of the city in a hurry.

Wasn’t this Cross Fire?

Strange, why was the Deputy Guild Leader of the World Destruction Guild following a Level 20 player?

Could it be a powerful figure from the World Destruction Guild?

Looking at the other party’s position, that guy called [World Destruction Lightning] should be a very important character.

Behind him, there was a player called “Great Greedy Wolf”. He seemed to be the one who led the army to surround the valley.

“Very good. Since I’ve encountered you, I’ll use you to test my strength!”

Back in the River Valley, Lorne had wanted to teach these guys a lesson. It just so happened that he had obtained the [Ghost Deity Necklace]. This divine equipment was said to not be detectable by anyone. If that was the case, killing a few people in Iron Skull City should not be a problem.

With that in mind, the corners of Lorne’s mouth curled up, and he vanished on the spot.

The [Ghost Deity’s Descent] skill allowed Lorne to walk in the darkness and gave him powerful damage output and movement speed. Even if he was a Summoner and could not rely on pets, in this state, he could use his attributes to directly kill these players.
