I Become a Landlady in the Game World

However, the introduction was not very effective; basically, they would wholesale some magic goods from their native territory and sell them at a higher price.

Having people from outside open shops in their territory was not appealing, and even those who came sent magic goods of lower quality. It was known that many were outdated products.

In terms of price and quality, there was a mismatch.

Many residents in the territory were unwilling to spend that kind of money.

It resulted in a vicious cycle, with the spread of magic shops in their territory slowing even more.

But in Hope Village, seeing one magic shop after another truly dazzled them.

"Are all these shops opened by residents of Hope Village?" Guo Yunxiu couldn't help but ask.

What attracted them to Hope Village?

"Mostly, but not all; technically, they are," Xu Xiuwei explained, "because the shops in Hope Village are only rented to residents. To open a shop here, one must be a resident of Hope Village."

"But those who open these shops generally have the support of a mercenary team and a merchant team. Hope Village has signed contracts with many such teams, restricting sales to these groups in certain territories. These merchant teams and mercenary teams have made a fortune from these exclusive contracts, and since the residents of Hope Village are willing to spend on these magic goods, they see the market prospects here and naturally buy a lot of magic-related products," Xu Xiuwei continued.

Though it wasn't very clear, Guo Yunxiu and the others understood the meaning of Xu Xiuwei's words.

These magic shops were willing to stay in Hope Village purely for profit.

Hope Village could provide the benefits they needed, so they were willing to set up shops in Hope Village.

Hope Village had created a beneficial economic system with its goods, between itself and other territories.

This put them not just one step ahead but two!

The three of them thought silently in their hearts.

Meanwhile, visitors from the Task Center had already gathered in this area.

The diverse array of magic goods immediately captivated them.

"Wow! The selection of intermediate potions here is so complete, and they're so cheap! In our territory, the same healing potions cost 1 Gold Coin, here it's only 50 silver coins, I'm buying!"

"I'm buying too; that's an immediate fifty percent profit."

"It's not just potions, there are many other magic goods."

"Magic wands! Invisibility hats!"

"And automatically cleaning furniture, I love this! It's a must-have for lazy people!"

"Magic carpets, aren't they more appealing than flying magical beasts?"

"Ah, I can't buy enough, I just can't keep up."

"Bro, can you lend me some money? I'll pay you back after we get home."

"Why didn't you bring any money?"

"I was afraid it might get stolen accidentally, I didn't expect this."

"I can only lend you a little, I still have a lot to buy myself!"

"Thanks, bro."

"..."

Various excited shouts and conversations continuously reached the ears of Guo Yunxiu and his group.

They could feel the passion these visitors had for magic goods.

This wave, Hope Village really hit the jackpot!

Though Guo Yunxiu and his group were also curious about the magic goods described, as lords, they valued the ingredients more and had to suppress their eagerness, following Xu Xiuwei further on.

The next stretch of road, the shops on Commercial Street that were open almost all had people strolling around; it was incredibly lively.

Just when Guo Yunxiu and his group thought the previous commercial street was lively enough, they were shocked once more upon coming across another teeming commercial street after crossing an intersection.

As soon as they entered, they smelled various kinds of food aromas.

"From here all the way to the city gate, it's basically all gourmet shops, truly a food street, and the busiest place in our territory," Xu Xiuwei explained.

Guo Yunxiu and his companions remained silent,already feeling the atmosphere.

Seeing that they hadn't expressed an interest in buying food, Xu Xiuwei directly led them towards the Sauce Shop.

He had a slight suspicion about their identities.

These few were definitely not ordinary tourists.

Ordinary tourists, like those on the streets, were only focused on buying and eating.

These few emphasized sauces; they might be high-ranking officials or lords from other territories.
