Chapter 180 - The First Player Owned Shop! (2/2)

Ding!

“Would you like to continue renting this shop? (Rent: 10,000 gold coins per month)”

(Note: Due to the transfer of the shop to an adventurer, this shop will refresh the rental fees. Please submit the corresponding rental fees within three days.)

A game notification appeared in front of Lorne. It stated very clearly that if he wanted to operate this shop, he had to pay the monthly rent.

10,000 gold coins was not a small amount.

The gold coins that Lorne got from selling potions had been sold to Twinkle Rose again, so he had to prepare some.

Of course, this was not difficult.

If he wanted money, he could borrow it from Super Rich. He definitely had enough gold coins on him.

Indeed, when he heard that Lorne was here to borrow gold coins, Super Rich immediately transferred 20,000 gold coins over. There was no agreement between the two of them.

Perhaps this was a true tycoon. This joy was not something Lorne could experience for the time being.

“I’ll make the payment.”

With the money, Lorne immediately paid the monthly rent.

The monthly rental of the shop was 10,000 gold coins, but the shop still needed someone to manage it, so Lorne still had to spend a lot of money to hire a manager.

The higher the quality of the manager, the more control they had over the market, and the greater their management ability. Therefore, Lorne was not stingy. He directly spent 5,000 gold coins to hire an Epic-grade shop manager and a few employees with good ‘economy’ skills.

As for the remaining 5,000 gold coins, in addition to being used for wholesale items and cash flow, Lorne had another use.

He wanted to change the layout of the shop!

This shop was a two-story building. The area was not very large, about 200 square meters.

Lorne felt that its previous renovation had wasted a lot of space, so he planned to modify it.

At this moment, Doge had already gone back to edit the book on herbs, so the rest was left to Lorne to deal with alone.

He directly found an NPC who knew how to decorate and chose a simple way to refurbish the shop. That was to tear down all the dividers in the shop.

Then, he designed a few counters on both sides. This way, the shop appeared much larger, and the items sold could be seen more clearly by the customers.

As for the second floor?

Lorne turned it into an auction house.

As the number one player in the world, the equipment he had were all “divine equipment” in the eyes of ordinary players. In the future, they would inevitably compete with each other. This way, not only could he make a name for himself, but he could also earn enough benefits.

…

The work of the NPCs was very fast. Coupled with the simple layout set by Lorne, everything was completed in about ten hours.

Lorne brought the hired NPCs into the shop and began distributing work to them.

First of all, the left counters specialized in selling potions. All kinds of potions occupied four counters.

Then, the right counters specialized in selling equipment and items. It also had four counters.

Finally, there was a huge counter in front that specialized in selling high-grade items, equipment, and other precious items. It was managed by the Epic-grade NPC in the shop. She was also the manager of this shop. In the future, the basic operations of the shop would be handled by her.
