Chapter 7 100% satisfaction
The next morning, it was a sunny to cloudy day, with very comfortable light and temperature.
In the central square of Rosak, there are several fountain sculptures of different styles. Water vapor spewed from the pipes into the air and floated in the breeze, bringing bursts of coolness to the crowded people in the square.
Last night, everyone set up the circus tipi tent overnight.
This performance venue covers most of the square area, and the tall spire is higher than all the houses in the city.
A bright flag fluttering in the wind stood on top of the tent, announcing the arrival of Audrey Circus to the whole city.
In front of this pointed tent is the ticket car, where Xia Zuo works.
Hercules Poppy dragged it from the parking lot with his bare hands. The children shouted and yelled after the big guy, following the charm of muscle power.
A slightly shorter tent was set up behind the tipi tent, where performers rested and changed costumes.
In the early hours of this morning, everyone put on their performance clothes and rehearsed in the tipi tent to arrange the order of everyone's turns.
Hercules is the first to appear, and he is responsible for throwing the clown upward.
The brother and sister flew high into the sky again and again, using the pointed wooden sticks in their hands to pierce the colorful balls hanging on the roof. The colorful ribbons in the balls flew all over the field with the sound of balloons exploding.
Snake the Snake Dancer's performance is more like a stage play.
He will play the role of a traveler who encounters a fierce snake in the wild, wielding a wooden scimitar and playing a special flute worn around his neck. In the exotic music, a man and a snake danced on the field.
Audrey was the only performer of all to use metal props.
During the cheerful music played by Snake and Brother Clown, Audrey would walk close to the sidelines, showing off her proud figure to the audience, jumping up and posing from time to time, throwing flying knives in the air, and shooting towards the tied people. Clown sister on the stake.
The fire-breathing Vails appeared last, but he did not breathe flames. He just walked around the field to confirm his performance route.
It seems that breathing fire can cause physical damage.
After Xia Zuo enjoyed the performance backstage in advance, he put on a fluffy green wig and red nose ornaments and waited quietly in the ticket car for customers to come.
"Young man, give me and the children a ticket each."
The guest wearing a gemstone ring spent extravagantly and placed a heavy money bag on the table.
"Welcome~~Excuse me, do you want to watch the full performance?"
Xia Zuo faced the first tourist with the fullest smile.
"Dad, I want to see the whole set." The little boy's childish voice.
"Me too, Daddy, I want to see the whole set." The little girl was acting coquettishly to her daddy.
"Okay, okay, let's see the whole set." The guest picked up his two children and kissed one on the left and the other on the right.
Ticket prices are the same for adults and children. After all, the number of seats in the venue is fixed, and the main audience of the circus is children.
Three people watch four performances, a total of 12 tickets, and the fee is 51 copper coins.
Xia Zuo spread his arms, stretched and retracted his arms, wiped his hands on the table, and the small wooden pieces used as tickets were neatly arranged on it.
Then, he opened the purse, took a quick look, and took out a handful of copper coins with one hand. In front of the guests, he quickly finished counting, and then swept the small copper coins the size of fingernails into the cash box at his feet.
This whole process was practiced hundreds of times last night.
The tickets that were originally stacked together were placed by Xia Zuo at different angles around him, in groups of five, stacked horizontally and vertically.
That way, just a quick glance will tell you how many seats are left for each performance.
The actions of taking tickets and collecting money can be done in one go without any sloppiness.
"Here are your tickets and money bag. Please keep them. Before each performance, please hand over the corresponding tickets to the staff. Thank you for your patronage and welcome to come again."
Xia Zuo made a face at the child, making him giggle, and a very unexpected message came to his mind.
"Successfully sold circus performance tickets, earning 51 copper coins, customer satisfaction was 80%, and gained 0.04 experience points."
! ! !
You can get experience by selling tickets! It’s still calculated based on income! ! Guest satisfaction affects the ratio of revenue to experience.
Xia Zuo immediately treated the next guest with a more exaggerated expression and tone. This guest seemed to be infected by his enthusiasm, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Successfully sold circus performance tickets, earning 17 copper coins, customer satisfaction 85%, and gained 0.014 experience points."
If the satisfaction level is 100%, then you can gain 0.017 experience points by selling a full set of tickets. As long as you sell about 80 copies, it is equivalent to a trial.
Xia Zuo glanced at the queue in front of the ticket window. The queue was very long and turned a corner. There were at least twenty or thirty people in the queue.
Get rich, get rich. The circus is my home, and it’s up to everyone to make money and gain experience.
Xia Zuo smiled with joy from the inside out. The customer's satisfaction level was getting higher and higher, but it could only barely exceed 90%, and 100% had never happened.
During the lunch break, Xia Zuo saw the patterns on the actors' faces and had an idea. He found the clown sister who knew how to put on makeup and asked her to draw patterns on her face.
He also took a few strings of colorful bells and a cute hand trumpet, and simply decorated the ticket window.
Whenever you stretch your arm to the window, the bell will shake gently, making a light and cheerful sound.
After the guests collected their tickets and money bags, Xia Zuo squeezed the trumpet, greeted the guests with a funny trumpet sound, and reminded the next customer to come forward.
"Successfully sold circus performance tickets, earned 34 copper coins, customer satisfaction was 100%, and gained 0.034 experience points."
it is as expected.
As long as the role of the circus conductor is played properly, guest satisfaction will always be 100%.
Although there is only a 10% difference from 90% satisfaction, the accumulated experience gap will be very considerable.
The circus business is booming, and the actors are full of energy. They perform one performance after another, with a short lunch break. It was only four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the tickets were sold out.
"Sorry, today's tickets are sold out. Please come early tomorrow. I'm very sorry."
Xia Zuo took out a colored glass bead and handed it over to help the guests who had not bought tickets to soothe the children who were about to cry.
Pull up the platform, hang the "tickets sold out" sign, lock the ticket window, and count the copper coins in the cash box.
There were the most customers on the first day, and a total of about 2,000 copper coins were gained, which is equivalent to 2 points of upgrade experience.
【Experience】5/15.
10 o'clock to upgrade.
I guess it will be enough to finish reading the two books I just bought after the performance in Rosak City.
Xia Zuo happily kept the account book, locked the cash box, hid it in the mezzanine on the floor, and then fastened a heavy lock on the mezzanine.
There are also two locks on the door of the carriage, and the entire protection measure is foolproof...well...provided that there is no strong man like Poppy who uses a heavy ax to split the locks.
Xia Zuo came to the backstage of the performance venue, handed the account book and keys to the elder sister, and leaned against the curtain to secretly observe the performance.
The time came just right, it wasn't long after Vers took the stage.
Usually taciturn, he changed as soon as he arrived on the court, with a standard performative smile on his face and a deliberately exaggerated attitude in his movements.
Vers held the torch in his right hand, picked up the potion bottle with his left hand and poured a large sip into his mouth. Then he raised his finger and looked around the scene to attract the audience's attention.
"puff!"
call!
A stream of flammable water shoots out from the flamethrower's mouth like an arrow, creating a long line of explosive flames as it passes through the torch.
The raging fire spread to a place three meters away in an instant, and the flames overflowed, illuminating the pointed tent.
Xia Zuo could feel the scorching heat wave through the curtain.
"Wow~"
"Bah, bang, bang!" cheers and applause erupted from the scene.
"puff!"
call!
"puff!"
call!
Vers sprayed clouds of flames down the field, surprising and delighting the audience. Caught between high emotions of fear and excitement, the children hugged the adults' arms and screamed.
This is just the appetizer for the fire-breathing show.
Snake and Brother Clown walked out of the background holding a wooden pole.
They first lit the torch on one of the wooden poles, and then put a plucked and cleaned raw chicken on the other wooden pole.
Vers took a deep breath, his lungs swelled up significantly, and he took another potion in his mouth.
The scene fell silent, and everyone stared at the fire-breathing figure.
"Pfft~~~~"
Phew~~~~
This time the fire was more intense and lasting, the fire turned red, and a billowing heat wave swept through every corner of the performance venue. People couldn't help but lean back, fearing that the red fire would spread in front of them.
The end of the flame wrapped around the raw chicken and turned into a bright fireball. The aroma of barbecue wafts to the noses of the audience along with the unabated fire.
I don't know if it was due to Vers's amazing lung capacity or the effect of the medicine just now. In short, Xia Zuomo counted for five or six seconds, but still saw no sign of the fire weakening.
"Ho ho ho!"
"Bah bang bang!"
The audience was filled with excitement, and the children were jumping on their seats, raising their arms and shouting for the fire breathers on the field.
"marvelous!"
"The fire breather is so awesome!"
"The raw chicken is cooked!"
"Mom, can you cook like this?! This is amazing!"
Vails suddenly closed his mouth tightly and cut off the water flow. The flames dissipated instantly, leaving behind a sizzling and oily roast chicken to prove the flamethrower's ability.
He wiped the water from the corners of his mouth and extended his arms backstage.
Xia Zuo was pulled onto the stage by everyone. A group of people held hands and bowed to the audience.
"Thank you all for coming. Today's performance ends here."
Audrey walked to the front of the line and waved her arms to disperse the audience.
"Audrey Circus, well done!"
"Mom, I'm coming tomorrow!"
"Daddy, daddy, I want to be a fire breather!"
The cheering children were pulled out of the tipi tent by their parents, and the surrounding area gradually became quiet.
After the audience left, Audrey walked up to everyone and praised every actor, especially praising Xia Zuo for remembering the account books very clearly and neatly.
"Everyone, let's clean up the place. After dinner, everyone's reward will be distributed. Xia Zuo, go to the hotel where you are staying and prepare dinner. We will go there later."
"Roger it! Big sister."
Xia Zuo received Audrey's affirmation, and the fatigue accumulated today was wiped away.
He looked at the roasted chicken and said, "Sister, what should I do with that chicken? Do you want me to make a dish with it?"
"That one"
Audrey gestured like she was inserting something into the chicken's butt, "It has medicine in it, so you can't eat it."
"Oh, I understand, let's take the first step."
Xia Zuo opened the curtain and left here briskly.
