Breaking Even

"Come with me."

Chen Yi closed the door and led Yao Yingqian toward the left.

Not far from Chen Yi's home stood a shop that had not been open for long.

The items sold in this shop were not particularly high-end. They were basically all below Gold Quality, with only two Legendary Quality items serving as its prized treasures.

Under normal circumstances, a shop like this would find it difficult to stay open.

But this was a Monopoly Business.

You might not believe it, but all Sacred Relics were special equipment.

A Gold Quality Sacred Relic could sell for 600,000 Copper Coins, and the crystals needed to further enhance Sacred Relics also had to be purchased from this shop.

Basically, Ningguang's shop could go three days without making a sale, but once it did, it brought in a huge sum of Copper Coins.

When Chen Yi arrived, there were no clerks around. Ningguang was checking the account books.

Because she had invited Chen Yi to the ribbon-cutting ceremony when the shop opened, the shop had avoided quite a few problems.

But it was impossible to avoid them entirely.

After all, not everyone knew Chen Yi, and not everyone was willing to do him a favor.

Chen Yi lightly tapped on the glass of the display case.

Without even raising her head, Ningguang said, "Sorry, customer, but we're already closed for the day."

"Lord Ningguang, then I'll have no choice but to give this business to someone else."

Hearing the familiar voice, Ningguang broke into a smile and joked, "I was wondering who it was. So it's Mister Yi."

"I wonder what business you have to offer this humble woman? I'll definitely give you a discount."

Then, before Ningguang and Yao Yingqian's eyes, Chen Yi took out a piece of ore.
