Darnet was a merchant, but he was also a Lord of Honor.
Normally, this was the highest position a merchant could achieve. Becoming a true noble? Unless you put on your armor and went to the battlefield to gain merits. Killing 10 enemies would give you the title of a Baron. Unfortunately, Prandal was in a peaceful period now. Even if you had the courage to do so, you wouldn't have the chance.
Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for Darnet to continue climbing up the ranks. However, this didn't stop Darnet from learning the ways of nobles.
He was committed to enjoying life like a true noble.
Every morning, after breakfast, Zhang Tie would have a relaxing morning exercise. He would either practice his swordsmanship or his horsemanship. When Luembika reached the middle of the tower, it would be time for tea. Zhang Tie would invite his friends to enjoy the fresh air in the yard. He would make a cup of black tea and enjoy the aroma of the black tea. He would also enjoy a few pieces of tea and snacks. He would also despise the life of the low-class people.
This had always been Lord Darnet's special hobby.
However, today, the servants in Darnet's residence suddenly discovered that their Lord had given up on his usual hobby. Instead, he was holding an exquisite little box and playing with it happily.
"My Lord, it's time for the swordsmanship lesson. The Silver-ranked Apocalypse Swordsman you hired from the Mercenary Guild has arrived …"
Lord Darnet said impatiently: "Shut up. Let him wait! Don't disturb me! "
"But my Lord," the servant reminded Darnet, "The lesson is charged based on time. He has been here since he arrived. It's already 100 gold coins …"
Darnet frowned. After thinking for a while, he decisively said: "Let him go back first. Cancel today's lesson. No, cancel all the lessons for the next few days. I will contact him again when the lesson resumes!"
"Understood."
The servant left. Before he left, he looked curiously at the little box in Darnet's hand. Darnet was writing on that thing just now.
What was that?
Seeing the servant close the door, Dante's face changed and instantly became very wretched. He picked up his magic-powered phone and lightly pressed a button. The phone projected a small screen, and he quickly wrote a few lines on it and sent it out.
"My dearest baby, someone came just now. Why don't we go out and talk?"
Mrs. Bobbins: "No, my husband will be back soon. If he sees us, he will definitely kill us. Darnet, my darling, you must not forget our date tomorrow night."
"Of course I remember, my dear baby. I'll be there on time."
If others were to see this, they would immediately turn pale with fright because the other party who was talking to Darnett was actually Perbunce's wife.
That's right, Darnet was having an affair with Perbunce's wife. When he got his hands on the Mystic Cellphone and completed the registration, he discovered this wonderful use of the Mystic Cellphone that night.
Completely private communication, no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping, and it was convenient to communicate anytime and anywhere … Was there anything more convenient than this to contact the person he was having an affair with?
Darnett was probably the first person to send ambiguous messages to her in Prandal.
In fact, Darnet had already discovered that the Mystic Cellphone's use was not only to send private messages, but it could also be used for video calls.
Last night, Darnet and Mrs. Bobbins had used the video call function to chat for most of the night. The clear video call function had opened the door to a new world for them. The two of them were passionate, and Darnet even flirted with Mrs. Bobbins. If it wasn't for the fact that it was already very late and would easily arouse suspicion, the two of them might have really gone for a rendezvous.
From the initial suspicion, disdain, and resistance to becoming a loyal fan and fanatic of the Mystic Cellphone, Darnet's change had happened overnight. The mystery behind this was truly astonishing.
Outsiders didn't understand, but insiders who got their hands on the Mystic Cellphone were completely convinced by the convenience of the Mystic Cellphone in a short period of time.
Let's take a very simple example.
You were sitting at home, and the servant went out to buy things. Suddenly, you remembered that you needed to add something. If it was in the past, you would need to send someone out to catch up with the person in front of you and repeat the instructions. If the two of you brushed past each other, it would be very troublesome.
But it was different now. No matter what you wanted to add, you just needed to make a phone call and it would be done.
Originally, when you thought of something very important at home and wanted to convey it to a friend who lived on the other side of the city, it might just be a sentence. But in order to convey this sentence, you would have to write a letter and wait for a day, or take a carriage to make a special trip. It was really too troublesome.
But now, as long as you exchanged contact information with your friend, you could call them if you wanted to say something. It was just that casual!
To the chairmen of the Chamber of Commerce, they discovered that the Mystic Cellphone was simply a peerless artifact — this was definitely not an exaggeration!
Originally, it would take a day to convey a message, but now, it might only take a cup of tea's time. Find the person in charge, call, inform, and hang up. It was just that simple!
The larger the Chamber of Commerce, the more they discovered the power of the Mystic Cellphone. This was still because they couldn't exchange contact information with the branches in other cities. As time passed, once they exchanged contact information with the relevant people in charge in other cities, the efficiency of the entire Chamber of Commerce would immediately increase by a large margin!
After personally experiencing the convenience of the Mystic Cellphone, the users all went crazy!
The price of 1999 gold coins was expensive? No, it wasn't expensive at all! It could even be said that it was unusually cheap!
The Mystic Cellphone could only be used once, and the price was as high as 10000 gold coins. On the other hand, the Mystic Cellphone didn't have as many restrictions as the Mystic Cellphone. It could be used however one wanted to use it. It was cheap and good, and it was simply too useful!
After experiencing the benefits of the Mystic Cellphone, the Tang Dynasty Mobile's shop was immediately filled with fanatical crowds. People waved their banknotes and shouted as they rushed to buy the Mystic Cellphone. Unfortunately, the stock on the market was announced to be sold out.
"I want to buy a Mystic Cellphone! This is my five-star membership card! "
"I'm sorry, sir. We're out of stock now …"
"What a joke! I'm a five-star member, and you're telling me that you're out of stock!? "
"But sir, this is true. I'm not sure when the next batch of goods will be delivered."
"How do you do business!? My friends are all using Mystic Cellphones, but I don't. How can I raise my head in front of them!? "
"Sir, I think you can only wait. That six-star member, Count Andrew, is also waiting."
"Six-star member! Count Andrew!? "
The five-star member who was shouting loudly immediately quietened down. He was at most a viscount, and it was not his place to jump around in front of a count.
"I want to lodge a complaint against you!"
At this moment, the ashen-faced Lord Darnet rushed into the business hall furiously. "You're scamming me! It's fraud! The quality is too bad! "
The well-trained waiter immediately walked up and calmly said, "Sir, you have to be responsible for your words. May I ask why you said that we're scamming you?"
"I was chatting with my — friend, but it suddenly indicated that I couldn't get through!"
Darnet roared. "I just bought this yesterday, and it's broken today. If this isn't fraud, then what is?!"
"Please let me have a look at your phone."
The waiter took Darnet's cellphone and checked it. Then, he frowned and took out Darnet's SIM card, inserted his own SIM card, and dialed his colleague's number. The call was successfully connected.
The waiter quickly took out his own SIM card, and then looked at Darnet expressionlessly. "I'm sorry, sir. Your phone is not malfunctioning at all. There's definitely no problem with the quality."
"But I can't get through!"
"Sir."
The waiter's face showed just the right amount of contempt. "You probably didn't listen to our explanation when you bought the cellphone and applied for the SIM card yesterday, right? Magic-Powered cellphones require a fee to make calls. "
"Of course I know that! It's five copper coins per hour (the ancient calendar used by dwarves and goblins is 36 quarters of a day, 36 degrees per hour, 36 minutes per hour). It's nothing to me! "
"That's just the basic voice call fee. Text messages of 50 words or less are one copper coin. Video calls are one silver coin per hour."
The waiter looked at Darnet strangely. "After applying for the SIM card, it comes with a bonus of one gold coin for basic call time. That's enough for a long time. You … Did you call the entire night last night?"
Hearing this, Darnet's expression immediately became unnatural. He had indeed called the entire night last night, and it was even a video call. The feeling of having a video call with Madam Bobbins while making love with his little lover was simply too great.
"Looks like you understand."
The waiter brought Count Darnet to the top-up counter. This was probably the first time the top-up counter was opened, but they were very clear that this place would become one of the most important channels for the Datang Chamber of Commerce to make money in the future.
The waiter quickly inserted Darnet's SIM card into the card slot, and then revealed a kind (enticing) smile. "So it's Sir Darnet … Then how much would you like to top-up? We provide top-up options of 1, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, and so on. The lowest is one gold coin, and there's no upper limit. "
"In addition, we also provide a variety of rich packages for you to choose from. Look, we have business packages, couple packages, and family packages … Dear, do you want to apply for a package?"
If the people on Earth saw the waiter's signature smile, they would definitely be on high alert. However, these otherworldly natives had never been tested before …
They would jump into a pit without any explanation.
