With a flash of light, Dafei appeared alone in the teleportation circle of Moradin, the capital of the Dwarf Kingdom.
As for the Angel Corps that had transformed into demonesses, they were all left in the barracks of Keldin Town to avoid showing off on the streets. That's right, being high-profile did not mean showing off, and showing off did not mean leaking secrets. If you showed off at any time regardless of the occasion and place, you would be pretending to be stupid. Especially in the face of an expert like Shocking Thunder, who was skilled, good at business, and had relations with upper-class NPCs, he was even more careful.
And Dafei's appearance undoubtedly once again attracted the attention of passers-by and the noise of the city channel. Dafei's heart could not help but tighten. If Shocking Thunder knew that he had a tavern business here, would he invite players to come over and cause trouble, or ask the eldest prince to do all kinds of dirty tricks behind his back?
This problem had to be taken seriously.
When Dafei arrived at the Iron Helm Tavern, he suddenly found that the tables on the first floor of the tavern were crowded and noisy. They were all NPC customers drinking to their heart's content and the system's randomly spawned wandering heroes. At the same time, there were many headhunter players who sold hero information for a living refreshing the forum in front of the tavern's bulletin board.
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. This was much more popular than a few days ago! Could it be that his Spring Forest Wine had been successfully developed? This must be the case. This was Spring Forest Wine that he had brought back from the God Realm. Even if he randomly mixed water into the distillers' grains, it would be difficult not to succeed!
The moment Dafei entered the door, the headhunter players in the tavern stared at Dafei in unison. "It's the legendary Dafei!"
"Even Dafei is here!"
Dafei could not help but be happy. If a tavern could attract headhunter players, it meant that the quality of the heroes that the tavern could spawn was quite good. In particular, there were not many dwarf players in the China region, and the popularity of dwarf tavern heroes was far less than that of humans, elves, and undead.
Dafei came to the long-awaited shopkeeper, Malikem. Before he could speak, Malikem laughed. "Sir, do you want to book a private room on the second floor? Please go to the black crystal room on the second floor. "
Huh? Is he pretending not to know me? Alright, let's talk at the usual place. Therefore, under the eager gaze of the headhunter players, Dafei went to the private room on the second floor and waited quietly.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and Malikem entered with a smile, holding a pile of books. "Welcome, Mr. Dafei!"
Dafei laughed and said, "You're too polite, Shopkeeper."
Malikem smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for more than ten days. Mister's achievements in the Infernal Battlefield have been amazing. You've become the talk of many taverns. Even His Highness has to be full of respect for you."
Holy sh * t, even the NPCs in the Dwarf Kingdom know about it. My World Reputation must be off the charts, right?
Dafei laughed and said, "You're exaggerating."
Malikem smiled and said, "Let me tell Mr. Dafei the first piece of good news. Our fine wine has already been developed. Once we launched it, our store's business immediately exploded. Our daily sales are 3000 gold coins. But because it's still in the experimental period, we can't estimate the cost of Lin Quan, so we can't calculate the actual profit. But no matter what, we can develop a fine wine. Mister is now officially the owner of the tavern! "
— System Notification: You have completed the Iron Helm Tavern Transfer Quest "Develop New Fine Wine". Obtained + 200,000 EXP, + 2000 Reputation in Moradin City. You have obtained the Iron Helm Tavern Property Certificate and the Iron Helm Tavern Operation Certificate. You are officially the owner of the Iron Helm Tavern!
It's finally done! Dafei couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. The transfer of the tavern could have been done with just a word from the prince, but he had to complete a painful quest. How much time did it take to earn money? But even if the net profit was 3000 gold coins a day in the game, that would be 30,000 in real life. That wasn't very profitable, right?
But it didn't matter. It was better than nothing. At most, I'll just open up shops everywhere.
Malikem continued with a smile, "Big Boss, let me tell you the second piece of good news. In order to show our respect to you, His Highness has waived your debt of 30,000,000 gold coins. So from now on, the tavern's income will be completely controlled by you!"
Dafei couldn't help but be stunned. I owe the prince 30,000,000 gold coins? When did that happen? Holy sh * t! It happened when he sponsored me to buy his tavern! Damn it, I've already helped him raise the price of the tavern to a sky-high price of 90,000,000 gold coins. He's already earned so much, and he still remembers the debt? But it's good that he's waived.
Malikem continued, "15% of the tavern's income is paid to the kingdom as taxes. This is a ratio that cannot be changed. Then, 50% of the income is the tavern's funds. The chefs' and workers' salaries, the purchase of goods, the maintenance of the tavern, and the hiring of the barmaids all come from this. The remaining 35% is the gold coins that the boss can freely withdraw. The boss can change the ratio between the free funds and the tavern's funds. The higher the tavern's funds, the better the tavern's development. Currently, our tavern's funds are 100,000 gold coins, and the free funds are 70,000 gold coins. This means that the boss can freely withdraw the 70,000 gold coins. "
Holy sh * t! I can easily make 10,000,000 gold coins at any time. Do I really care about a mere 70,000 gold coins?
Dafei waved his hand and said, "Focus on developing the tavern. Adjust the tavern's funds to 85%. You can take care of the rest."
Malikem smiled and said, "Boss, don't you take your pocket money from the tavern?"
Dafei laughed and said, "No, we'll focus on the business in the early stages and make our new wine bigger and stronger!"
Malikem clapped his hands repeatedly. "Not bad! As expected of the boss that His Highness appreciates. We'll use the freed funds to hire a high-end winemaker. Now, I can tell you a secret! "
At this point, Malikem's voice sank. "Boss, do you know why His Highness sent you to the Chimera Forest to maintain law and order? It's because it's a divine land that's no less than the Window of the World. The quality of the spring water produced in the forest is no less than the batch that boss brought back last time. Once we successfully control the area, the profits will be unimaginable. Of course, when we successfully control it, the eldest prince will definitely be jealous and won't sit back and do nothing. Boss, please be prepared to deal with it! "
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. He had predicted that it was a divine land with a lot of substance, but he didn't expect the eldest prince to be involved. It seemed that he had to control the situation. He had to specifically inform Xiaoming.
Dafei nodded. "Got it. I'll pay attention to the scale. "
Malikem smiled and said, "Well, if there's nothing else, boss, then I'll go down and take care of the business."
Dafei immediately said, "By the way, there's one thing I need your help with!"
Dafei immediately took out the note left behind by the old mages when he left the New East's Lighthouse Archipelago. "I'm looking for the people on these notes. There's nothing else. I just want to say hello."
Since these lists were more or less involved in the struggle for the throne between the two princes, then it must be a plot event. There was no reason for the prince not to help find them.
Malikem took the note and frowned. "Some of the villages in the address have already ceased to exist decades ago. Is this important?"
If it was really important, I wouldn't have kept forgetting and dragging it out until now. Dafei sighed. "It should be important. This should be of some benefit to His Highness."
Malikem nodded. "Actually, we don't need to alarm the prince to find these people. We can open a secret intelligence office in the tavern ourselves, but this will require us to pay at least 100,000 gold coins a month in the tavern's funds to hire intelligence agents. If it's a higher-level secret, then we can't hire them from outside. We have to rely on our own trained and trustworthy intelligence agents. "
Dafei nodded. "Then can our tavern afford to pay 100,000 gold coins a month?"
Malikem smiled. "Boss, it won't be a problem after you adjust the ratio of the tavern's funds to 85%. Also, after opening a secret intelligence office, our tavern can recruit barmaids. Although this requires another payment of funds, with the barmaids, it will greatly increase our business and even completely make up for the expenses of the intelligence office. This is imperative for the tavern's development."
So that's how the barmaids' information came from? But when he thought of the barmaids of the Dwarven Tavern, Dafei couldn't help but tremble.
In short, Dafei didn't want to care about these trivial matters. He would rather run an ordinary business, and Dafei had to be a hands-off shopkeeper until the end.
Dafei smiled and said, "Well, I'll leave all these to you."
"Okay, boss, I'll go prepare now."
