130: Chapter 130 [My Trading Company]

Having confirmed that his nearsightedness was basically cured and having understood the reason behind it, Xiao Niao couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart.

After all, no one wishes to not have a healthy body, and no one wants to carry around a pair of glasses as thick as beer bottle bottoms at all times.

He hadn't gone for laser eye surgery because Xiao Niao always strived for safety in everything and didn't want to take unnecessary risks, but now that he could be restored to the appearance of a normal person without any side effects through some kind of extraordinary power, he was naturally very happy.

Xiao Niao: "Happy! From now on, I won't need to wear glasses to cover up this handsome face of mine!"

However, he hadn't been happy for long before Xiao Niao felt his face, now devoid of glasses, felt empty, and his heart felt hollow, as if something was missing. He couldn't help but sigh: "I've worn glasses for over ten years; it's really hard to get used to not wearing them all of a sudden... It looks like even if my vision has returned to normal, I'll still have to get a pair of non-prescription glasses to wear, otherwise I feel restricted and self-conscious, like I'm not wearing any clothes..."

Xiao Niao lay on the bed with his eyes open, staring at the concrete ceiling above. Even in the darkness of the night, he could clearly perceive that the scene before him was completely different from before; the world had become clear in his eyes.

At this moment, he truly realized the incredible effect that some kind of extraordinary power had produced on him, and his heart grew increasingly fervent towards the game Fantasy Jianghu, a thought even emerging from the depths of his mind:

"Perhaps... following Gualing out of the village to adventure and seeing more of the game's content isn't necessarily a bad thing?"

"Stop, stop! Steady development is the only way to go!"

Xiao Niao pulled his thoughts back to the right track in time, and started building a healthy psychological defense for himself, playing the mantra "Steady development, don't get reckless!" on a loop in his mind, and drifted off to sleep amidst these repeated reminders of "Steady development, don't get reckless."

Xiao Huang Village, Village East Entrance.

Tang Yao had calculated the time accurately and was already waiting there early, leading Sharp Tooth.

Yes, in order to prevent the Sharp-toothed Piglet from getting lost after leaving the village, she had specially hand-braided a sturdy hemp rope and went to find Head Manager Xie Dongdong for help, tanning a leather collar. By tying the rope and the collar together, it became a dog leash; of course, in the game, its technical name was [Simple Small Beast-Taming Rope].

But no matter what it was called, she could finally keep Sharp Tooth on a leash and not worry about it running off.

When the morning glow rose, Tang Yao indeed saw two figures appear before her.

It was Hu Gualing and Xiao Niao, both logging on right on time.

Hu Gualing was already impatient: "Hurry, hurry, let's head out of the village!"

Tang Yao was also very enthusiastic, like a student looking forward to a field trip: "Let's go, let's go, we're leaving right now!"

Xiao Niao: "Wait, don't rush."

Tang Yao, Hu Gualing: "Hm?"

Xiao Niao: "Wait for me to find something."

As soon as Xiao Niao entered the game, he remembered the Trading House module that the group owner had promised him.

Although this matter was only brought up in the afternoon, and it had only been 8 hours at most, according to common sense, it certainly shouldn't have been implemented so quickly.

But the production team of Fantasy Jianghu certainly couldn't be judged by common sense!

Just like that Training Room, hadn't it been adapted and implanted in just a few hours?

So as soon as Xiao Niao logged on, he wanted to see if this Trading House module had been implemented.

Upon looking, he really did find it.

The game interface of Fantasy Jianghu was relatively simple, with action bars, character attributes, inventory, and skills displayed around the edges, but they were all very compact and didn't obstruct the view at all. Moreover, with just a thought in the player's mind, all these things could be hidden, allowing the player to enter an immersive experience mode.

However, outside of these display bars, Xiao Niao discovered two small, unfamiliar icons.

Looking closely, it was indeed the Trading House module!

Xiao Niao said excitedly: "Look, everyone, next to the inventory button!"

Tang Yao and Hu Gualing looked over at the sound and exclaimed in unison: "Trading House!"

Xiao Niao laughed: "The group owner really keeps his word, and the production team's speed is truly incredible."

He carefully examined the two new small icons and found that they looked similar, both depicting a pile of coins stacked together. However, one of the icons had a small hand next to the coins, looking like a thief reaching out to steal money, and underneath the icon, it was written in small characters: [My Trading House].

Xiao Niao didn't have time to complain about the production team's artistic taste in icon design, and clicked into [My Trading House] with full curiosity.

"Clang!"

A slightly mottled, metallic-textured interface, accompanied by a crisp sound like silver coins colliding, suddenly appeared before his eyes.

At the very top of this interface, there were four imposing characters: [Xiao Huang Trading Firm].

On the left was a column of text labeling item categories, such as Equipment, Food, Materials, and other major categories. After clicking in, there were further subcategories like Weapons, Clothes, Pants, Pasta, Meat, and so on. Once selected, the corresponding items would appear in the center of the interface, where one could see item attributes, inventory, prices, and even seller information.

In the upper right of the interface, there was also a small box where text could be entered, allowing one to search for desired items directly by keyword.

Besides these basics, there were also other pages like [Trading House Personnel] and [Trading House Management].

Xiao Niao clicked into the Management page and found that goods assets, cash assets, Trading House profit and loss, and business transaction records were all there, clear and easy to understand. It seemed that he wouldn't even need account books in the future; it was very convenient.

Looking at the Personnel page again, there were only two names inside. Besides [Trading House Boss] Xiao Niao, there was only the lonely name of Head Manager Xie Dongdong, with the title [Trading House Head Manager] appended after her name. Further on, there was an option to adjust her permissions.

Currently, the entire Trading House was being supported by Head Manager Xie Dongdong, and Xiao Niao naturally wished for her to have as much authority as possible, hoping she would manage as much as possible, so he certainly wouldn't be bored enough to mess with her permissions.

However, looking at the personnel salary column further on, Xiao Niao couldn't bear to look...

In short, this Trading House interface was quite impressive; it had everything it should have, and the details presented were also very well done. It was definitely not something thrown together hastily by cutting corners.

Xiao Niao was very satisfied with this, closed [My Trading House], and opened the other one.
