The restaurant was called the Westfall Restaurant because when they bought it, the sun was setting in the west, dyeing half the sky red. The sunset was truly beautiful.
As for the Equipment Shop, Zhao Fu remembered that the equipment sold there had been forged for a long time and looked quite simple, so he named it the Antiquarian Equipment Shop.
After dealing with these matters, Zhao Fu still hadn't opened for business, but he had already sold a lot of equipment. Zhao Fu took 100 gold coins and went to a building.
This building was where Holy Light City's Internal Affairs Officer resided. After taking off his cloak, Zhao Fu smiled as he walked over and stuffed a few silver coins into the guard's hands. Adding on Zhao Fu's Third-Ranked Baron status, the guard quickly reported and invited Zhao Fu in.
Arriving at the living room, Zhao Fu saw a fair-skinned and chubby middle-aged man sitting on a chair. Zhao Fu stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings! The Minister of Internal Affairs. "
Although Zhao Fu's status as a third-rank baron could earn the respect of the natives, it was nothing in the eyes of the internal affairs officer, who had already grasped a lot of power.
Seeing this, a trace of a smile appeared on the Internal Affairs Officer's chubby face as he gestured with his hand, "Sir! Please take a seat. What business do you have with me? "
Zhao Fu sat on a chair beside him and said with a smile, "I've opened two shops in Sacred Light City. I've heard of Lord Internal Affairs Officer's name, so I've come to pay a visit!"
Immediately after, Zhao Fu handed over the small pouch that contained a hundred gold coins and said, "A small salute, please do not mind it."
The Internal Affairs Officer looked at the glittering gold coin pouch and took it. There seemed to be 100 gold coins in the pouch, and the Internal Affairs Officer's smile became more cordial as he said, "Sir, feel free to visit me. I will welcome you with open arms, but there's no need to bring gifts in the future."
As he spoke, the internal affairs officer stuffed the money bag into his pocket without leaving a trace.
Zhao Fu did not believe him at all. He had asked around about him before, or else he would not have come to find him. Seeing the Internal Affairs Officer accept the money pouch, Zhao Fu hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, I'll give it to you. I understand, and I hope that you can take care of us in the future. "
The internal affairs officer nodded with a smile. "That's for sure. Do you know that you can hire 10 soldiers? "
Zhao Fu understood that he was about to be rewarded, so he pretended to be confused and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
When the Internal Affairs Officer saw this, he said, "Recently, some unruly commoners have been causing trouble, and the Holy Light's ministers are in a bit of a mess. I'll make the decision to send 20 soldiers to guard you."
Zhao Fu felt quite delighted. From what he knew, it cost at least 10 gold coins to hire a Stage 1 soldier per month, and 10 Stage 1 soldiers per month was already 100 gold coins. Now, he was being given 20 Stage 1 soldiers for free, which was worth more than 100 gold coins.
However, in the future, he would have to give gifts more often. There was nothing he could do about this – if he wanted to do well in this place, he would have to interact with the governmental officials and improve his friendship.
"Thank you, Lord Internal Affairs Officer," Zhao Fu said. After chatting for a while, he put on his cloak and returned to the restaurant with the 20 soldiers.
By now, Zhao Fu had ordered people to prepare a few tables of food and wine, and he said to the soldiers, "Everyone, please don't hold back. These are all on me, so please do your best in the future."
The soldiers looked quite hesitant – they were here to guard, not to eat and drink.
Seeing this, Zhao Fu smiled and said, "Everyone, don't worry. I'm the one who told you to eat, so don't worry about it. "
Hearing this, the soldiers looked at the delicacies on the table and felt quite embarrassed as they said, "Thank you, boss."
Following this, the soldiers sat down at the table and wolfed down their food. They didn't often go to restaurants, and the restaurants of the indigenous residents here were incredibly expensive.
After taking care of the soldiers, Zhao Fu ordered the servants to make more dishes and opened the doors. He then yelled, "Everything is free for all residents of Holy Light City. Please eat as much as you want, but please note that all players must pay for their meals."
Right now, the players were quite poor, and there were many of them. If Zhao Fu didn't restrict them, after Zhao Fu finished yelling, it was likely that all of the residents would be players, and the indigenous residents wouldn't even be able to squeeze in.
If Zhao Fu wanted his business to be good, he had to let people know that his food was good. Looking at the exotic delicacies on the table, the indigenous residents felt quite curious, but since it was free, they didn't hold back and started to eat.
Zhao Fu left behind 10 soldiers to maintain order before returning to the equipment shop and yelling that everything was 20% off. He then officially opened the shop, and with 10 Stage 1 soldiers standing guard, he did not have to worry about anyone coming to cause trouble.
This was especially so for the Zhou family. If they didn't know what was good for them, Zhao Fu wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of them.
Just like that, the first day passed. The restaurant didn't make any profits, and it even lost a lot of money. However, business on the second day was even better than on the first day. This was because the people who had eaten here went back and talked about it, and countless people came over with curiosity in their hearts.
The equipment store sold 400 pieces of equipment on the first day, earning a massive 1,600 gold coins. After selling so many pieces of equipment at once, Zhao Fu felt that he would run out of stock in a few days. As such, he decided to sell some of the White grade equipment that he didn't want to sell.
In order to increase his attractiveness, Zhao Fu also put out a few Silver grade weapons. Right now, there weren't many Silver grade equipment in the system's Shops. Apart from this, Zhao Fu also put out a few Refined Martial Souls.
Normally, Refined Martial Souls would give skills of different grades. Sometimes, even the lowest-grade skills would be F grade, but they were priced around 1 to 2 gold coins. Zhao Fu's Refined Martial Souls could give C-grade skills at the very least, but because they were all physical skills, they were priced around 20 gold coins.
Whether it was the Silver grade weapons or the Refined Martial Souls, Zhao Fu didn't want to sell any of them. As such, Zhao Fu's prices were quite exorbitant. For a piece of equipment that originally cost 4,000 silver coins, Zhao Fu offered 40000 silver coins. For a Refined Martial Soul that originally cost 20 gold coins, Zhao Fu offered 200 gold coins.
In order to increase his attractiveness, Zhao Fu added an introduction to the Silver grade equipment. Every piece of equipment was obtained from a heaven-shaking ancient battle. Every piece of equipment contained powerful ancient power, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to detect its existence. It would only wait for a fated person to discover its value, allowing it to regain its glory.
There was also the Refined Martial Soul. Zhao Fu also added an introduction to it. It was left behind by an Ancient Divine Spirit and contained immense power. Legend had it that it could give an SSS grade Transcendent Skill. However, ordinary people wouldn't be able to comprehend its profoundness.
"Haha!"
After Zhao Fu made these introductions, no one dared to say that the Refined Martial Souls were fake. If they did, they would be considered ordinary people with poor taste.
