Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Your store is the number one in Jianghai city? But I've heard from others that it doesn't seem to be the case?"

Lin Yi asked, frowning.

He didn't want to reveal where he came from unless it was absolutely necessary, or he'd get into trouble. After spending so much time on Sky Class Island, Lin Yi was used to this sort of stuff.

"No!" The shop assistant panicked."Lianxia is the best shop in Jianghai city. I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, you can ask around!"

"Oh, really? But I heard from my friend that the best place in Jianghai is that building. Could he be wrong?"

Lin Yi said, pointing at the building a few hundred meters away.

Although there were many high-rise buildings here, they were generally only tens of meters tall. It was completely incomparable to that building. Looking around in a radius of ten miles, that building was like a flock of cranes standing in the sky. There was no one around that could fight.

"You mean the central Industrial group? Of course, it's different ..."

The shop assistant couldn't help but look stunned, and his imposing manner was obviously lowered by a notch. However, he still didn't forget to make up for his mistake,""A cross-regional super Corporation like them is very impressive. Their service is high-end, but the price is also high. It's not something that ordinary people can spend on. They're not like our shops, which are open to the public and pursue good quality and low price. They're not in the same business."

Central Industrial group?

Lin Yi and Wang shiqing looked at each other. The name "central" was definitely related to it. Central was really powerful, doing business well no matter where they were.

Speaking of which, Lin Yi had been dealing with central for so long, and he knew what those people were capable of. With their abilities, it wasn't strange for them to make a name for themselves anywhere, but it would be strange if they couldn 't.

"According to what you said, doesn't that mean that their Center is standing at the top of the pyramid?"

Lin Yi continued testing.

The shop assistant shook his head."You're being biased. No matter how powerful the central Group is, it's only in the business field. At most, they'll secretly collude with some powerful big shots. If we really want to talk about the top of the pyramid in Jianghai, it's definitely the city Lord."

"The governor is the number one figure in Jianghai city, both in name and in reality. This is something that all the big shots acknowledge."

"What about those below the city Lord Rank?" Lin Yi nodded.

The shop assistant looked at him strangely, but for business reasons, he patiently replied,""Below the city Lord, there are naturally the Deputy city Lords and the big shots in charge of the various divisions. Let me give you an example. Although their Central Group is at the peak of its power, if they don't have the means to get close to the Head of the Department of Commerce, a note of order can make them close down!"

Lin Yi didn't believe that at all. With the huge power behind central, even if it was just a business group on the surface, there was no way a department head could control their life and death so easily.

But from what the guide said, Lin Yi had a rough idea of the power structure here.

This place was not like the sub-Island, where the power pyramid was not controlled by the warrior Union or the martial Alliance. Instead, it was more similar to the department structure of the secular world. From the city Lord to the Deputy city Lord to the various departments, each had their own duties, forming a highly comprehensive management system.

The economic foundation determined the superstructure. Since the social form here was already highly modernized, the modernization of the power system was also natural. This was the inevitable result of social development.

Lin Yi went along with the flow and asked around, and the feedback confirmed his hypothesis.

Finally, Lin Yi asked,"Do you have a lot of outsiders here?"

"Of course there are. Jianghai city is known far and wide as the most powerful city in the surrounding area. Tens of thousands of people come here every day. During a grand festival, hundreds of thousands of people can come in a day. It's a spectacular scene."

The sales assistant had a proud look on his face.

"Teleportation formations?" Lin Yi asked, surprised. I'm afraid the efficiency of the teleportation formation is not enough, right?"

Although the teleportation formation was convenient, there was an obvious upper limit to its capacity. Usually, it could only teleport a few hundred people. As for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in a day, that was simply unimaginable.

Unless there were thousands of them in Jianghai city.

"Of course, we can't rely on the teleportation array. When there are many people, we mainly rely on flying shuttles. Speaking of flying shuttles, I have a lot to talk about ..."

The saleswoman did not miss the opportunity to deliver another sales Spiel.

She didn't think much of it at first, but in the end, even Wang shiqing couldn't stand it anymore and just wanted to run away.

But Lin Yi wasn't going to kill the donkey when it was done-he was interested in these flying shuttles anyway, and decided on a small two-seater flying shuttle.

"You two have good taste. This model is the most popular model this year. Not only is its streamlined design beautiful, but it also flies fast and steadily. It's the most cost-effective among the big brands."

The sales assistant was overjoyed, and finally added,""Six thousand eight spirit Jade. Would you like to pay by card or ..."

This price was naturally not considered expensive. After all, it was an aircraft, and its speed was much faster than the average flying spirit beast. However, it could not be said to be very high-end. After all, it did not have any offensive or defensive arrays or additional functions. It was just a simple means of transportation.

Of course, this amount of spirit Jade was nothing to Lin Yi now. He didn't lack money.

He handed over a spiritual Jade card, but the young man was stunned. He looked at the card with a face of hesitation."Customer, What's this?"

"A spiritual Jade card, is there a problem?" he asked.

Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder.

The shop assistant shook his head."Sir, please don't joke around. There's not even a city sign on it. How can there be such a spiritual Jade card?" Even if it's as you said, we can't use the spirit Jade card here. "

Lin Yi was embarrassed.

The little girl beside him was understanding."Lin Yi bro, why don't we just forget about it? Anyway, it's just something new. "

After she finished speaking, the saleswoman, who had been trying to please her for a long time, was immediately displeased. Her tone suddenly became a little unfriendly."Customer, that's not right. It's not easy for us to be in the service industry. We've been chatting with you for half a day, but you didn't buy anything. Aren't you playing us?"

"Who made the rule that I have to buy it after asking a few questions? If I were to casually ask how much Jianghai city is worth, does that mean I'd have to buy the entire city?"

Wang shiqing decided to protect Lin Yi after seeing his unfriendly attitude.

You can say anything you want, but not Lin Yi big bro!
