580 Gamers Strategy in Venice (1/2)
Leather Shoe observed the Goblins and Orc finish their discussion. Then the Orc took out a small piece of Magic Stone from his pouch and gave it to one of the Goblins.
The Magic Stone was the size of a fingernail. It wasn't a complete Magic Stone, so it was of little value. The Goblins actually obtained municipal management fees from the Orc.
Was there such a thing as municipal management fees? Leather Shoe took out a booklet with the words ”Municipal Management Handbook” on it.
He found street vending regulations very fast by referring to the contents page.
He discovered that if a vendor was vending his goods outside the designated vending zone, the vendor would have to pay a municipal management fee.
The designated vending zone was created after some research. Venice was a commerce-based dungeon, so commercial activities formed a large portion of its economy.
Every street had its designated vending zone. All merchants of the Underworld, regardless of whether they were members of the Merchant Alliance, could sell their goods freely in the vending zone.
This wasn't under the purview of Leather Shoe. He was only responsible for sending tramps who were lying on the ground to the temporary shelters at night. It was to prevent the tramps from tarnishing the Dungeon's image.
Leather Shoe witnessed the Goblins collecting money. As the Magic Stone wasn't worth much, he didn't bother with it.
As long as the Goblins did their work and let him relax, he would let them earn some tips.
The Goblins left after collecting the money. They then went deep into the nearby park to look for tramps.
They seemed familiar with the regular spots of the tramps. From their previous experiences, they got to know of these discrete locations where the tramps from Eternal Kingdom would get offline.
Like the ponds of the forests and the dead-end alleyways between buildings.
These discreet places were where the tramps could be found.
Seeing the experienced Goblins working professionally, Leather Shoe was relieved. He turned and left the park. He was going to have a good sleep that night.
He would continue to sleep for the next day.
When he left, he wasn't aware that a major incident was about to occur in Venice. It was caused by Leather Shoe to a great extent.
