Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 48 Simple Small Goals

Outside the city of Ser.

Venus was riding a white horse, and Su Ming was sitting behind her, with his arms around her slender waist.

Wild flowers are blooming in the suburbs, and the fragrance is charming. Even more charming than the fragrance is the light scent of perfume on Venus.

The tulle draped over Venus' shoulders was blown by the wind, and like a flower carrying its fragrance, it caressed Su Ming's face. It was a rather ambiguous scene. However, Su Ming had no mind to savor the charming scent of the clothes. To him, the experience of riding a horse for the first time was more interesting and attractive.

The white horse passed over the green and undulating hills and stopped in front of a large villa.

An NPC butler was waiting at the door early. He took the reins from Venus and led the white horse to the stable.

Su Ming's attention shifted from the white horse to the big villa.

"This is... your home, Sister Venus?"

"Hmm." Venus nodded proudly, "I spent 1.75 million gold coins, which is my most valuable property in the game. In addition to this villa, I also have a property in Xingye City. We will go there later."

One million, seven hundred and fifty thousand. This had already shocked Su Ming so much that he was speechless. He had guessed that Venus was rich, but he had not expected her to be so rich.

"Come on, let's do things that only adults can do." Venus walked into the villa first.

"What's the matter?" Su Ming asked as he followed Venus. After knowing the value of the villa, Su Ming felt that Venus' aura had become stronger, and she seemed to be walking with the wind.

Venus suddenly paused, turned around, held Su Ming's face, raised her eyebrows and asked:
"You really don't know?"

Su Ming's face was held in his hands, so he couldn't speak. He spoke vaguely:
"I do not know."

Venus stared at Su Ming's eyes, and Su Ming also stared at Venus' eyes. After seeing the confusion and nervousness in Su Ming's eyes, Venus let go of his hand and smiled:

"Even among junior high school students, you are one of the more childish ones."

Su Ming disagreed and strongly objected:

"I'm the class monitor! The teachers all praised me for being mature and sensible, not childish at all."

"Yes, yes, yes~" Venus replied perfunctorily.
When Su Ming heard Venus's coaxing tone, he could only sulk. He planned to behave more maturely in front of Venus in the future to change Venus' impression of him.

Venus took Su Ming into a room.

"Brother Spore, open the system panel and look for the option to rent a house."

Su Ming followed the instructions and clicked on renting a house.

System: You have rented a room in a property owned by Venus. The rent is 1 copper per month. Please pay on time.

"Okay, now you can hire system NPCs to work in this room. Hiring people to work, doesn't it sound like something adults do?" Venus asked with a smile.

"It's okay, just like that. It's not as good as riding a horse." Su Ming said as he operated.

Venus agrees:
"Indeed, riding a horse is more like something adults do. If there is a chance, I will teach you."

The biggest function of real estate in Destiny is to hire NPCs to work.

NPCs can replicate the life skills of the employer, but cannot provide experience to the employer.

Su Ming opened the hiring list, which showed the NPCs that could be hired in the area, and listed their names, ages, genders, salary requirements, and work experience.

The price of hiring ranges from 20 gold coins/month to 100 gold coins/month.

"Hire three and have them work in three shifts." Venus instructed, "No need to save money, I'll pay the commission. Find an NPC with experience in pharmacy work."

Su Ming nodded, and finally found NPCs with 2 years, 1 year, and 2 months of potion-making experience respectively.

Because Venus's house is good enough, NPCs with longer work experience will also be willing to come to work.

These three NPCs can produce 8, 500 and 300 bottles of primary magic potions respectively every 150 hours of work. Taking the success rate into consideration, this number should be halved.

After a while, two carriages arrived outside the villa, and Venus's butler brought in the three NPCs.

Under Venus's guidance, Su Ming assigned tasks to them and gave control authority to Venus so that she could replace them at any time when she selected better NPCs in the future.

Su Ming only needs to provide them with the skills to make basic magic potions.

Afterwards, Venus rented two more rooms to Su Ming and hired six more NPCs, reaching the maximum number of NPCs that a player could hire in a region.

Since the hiring list is unified within a region, the subsequent quality is a bit poor, and the hired NPC can only make about 300 bottles of potion.

Afterwards, Venus brought Su Ming to Xingye City again. This time the property was in the city, but it was big enough.

Venus also rented 3 rooms to Su Ming and hired 9 NPCs.

18 NPCs consume about 1300 gold coins every day and can produce about 2200 bottles of magic potions. After dividing the profits, Su Ming can earn 22190 gold coins.

Su Ming calculated this number and felt dizzy...

I had set a goal before, planning to earn 10000 gold coins before Su Qiaoqiao came online. Now I can complete the goal twice a day and still have a surplus. That feeling of walking in the clouds comes back.

"Okay, everything is done. Leave the sales to me from now on, and just lie down and count the money. I'll keep an eye on the gold equipment for you, and buy it for you if I find it." Venus walked out of her house with Su Ming, and said with emotion: "I've been playing this game for so long, and I'm finally going to make money. It feels great!"

Su Ming looked at the high-spirited Venus and the gorgeously decorated house behind him.

175 million plus 155 million gold coins, and the five shops Venus mentioned earlier...

Can you really earn it back?

In fact, Su Ming also knew that as Venus purchased large quantities of moon grass, neutralizing reagents, and magic crystals, the prices of these three items would definitely increase, and the money earned in the later period might decrease.

But, just be happy. Su Ming doesn’t understand the world of rich people.

"Then sister, I'm going back to level up and fight monsters."

"Go ahead." Venus said, "I'll go to Xiang City to see you when I have time."

Su Ming nodded:
"If you come to visit, don't bring too expensive gifts. I'm afraid it will scare my sister."

Venus nodded, and suddenly remembered something, so she pulled Su Mingdao:
"Brother Spore, in the future, you should not tell others that you are a vegetable in the game. There are not many vegetative people, and it is easy for others to find you. In the online world, it is safer to be anonymous. Not everyone can take care of you like I do.

If someone asks you about how long you've been online, just say you're using a diamond game console. If they ask you why you don't visit the forum, just say you're busy and don't have time to look, okay?"

Su Ming thought about it carefully and felt that what Venus said was right, so he kept it in mind and nodded.
"I understand, thank you."

Venus rubbed Su Ming's head lovingly and let him go.
