Two days later, Karin had acquired a large amount of land in the northwest corner of the city, and then hired a large number of construction workers to start building a huge building.
A mountain giant and two forest druids took the architectural drawings and took full command of the construction. Some of the transition warriors completed their transition in their thirties, and they had no talent, so they would never become a transition warrior in their lifetime.
Heroes, and they face death at any time while upgrading outside, so many of these people choose to give up being a career-changing warrior and do other jobs.
For example, architects.
Mountain giants and forest druids are natural architects. The mountain giant's innate skill is landslide - pulling rocks out of the ground to attack enemies, while the forest druid's innate skill is sprouting - stimulating the growth of trees or
The power of nature - Summon the tree people.
If these three skills are of high levels, they are also quite terrifying skills. High-level landslides can even cause short-term dizziness to enemies. However, for most mountain giants and forest druids, they do not have this talent.
Once these skills are trained to a high level, they can only fall back on using them for construction.
The mountain giants used landslides to mine a large amount of rocks from the wild, and the forest druids who knew the power of nature commanded the tree men to move the rocks back from outside the city and pile them up. The druids who knew how to sprout produced a large amount of wood, which was used as beams and rafters for the building's ceiling.
, construction workers only need to do an appropriate amount of decoration.
As a result, a building with a construction area of 10,000 square meters was formed at an astonishing speed.
"Mr. Gu, are you building this building just to build another auction venue?" Karin asked, looking at the busy construction site.
"Of course not. How can I sell so many auction items on my own? Besides, there is already an auction house in Biluo City, and building a second one may not be profitable. Besides, our geographical location is not advantageous.
"
"Then this building is? The grocery store doesn't need to be so big?"
Gu Nansheng smiled, "You're right, it's a grocery store, but a super grocery store. I call it a supermarket for short!"
"supermarket?"
"To put it simply, a supermarket is a huge self-selection shopping mall. All products are clearly marked with prices. Customers can take off what they like on the shelves and put them in the basket, and then pay at the door. This saves labor costs.
, and it allows customers to see the quality and price of products clearly from a distance, saving customers shopping time and giving them more space to choose.”
Karin found this kind of unreasonable idea incredible. In her impression, stores were generally only the size of a room, and they only sold a single product, either clothes, hardware, vegetables, meat, or daily necessities.
Wait, she never thought that she could use this business method to bring together various products and let customers choose... This is really a grand and exciting idea.
Gu Nansheng sighed secretly, he never thought that one day he would be a reformer in another world. When he was a child, there were no supermarkets at all. The stores all used the business methods of Biluo City, and there were only one or two department stores in the city.
The state-owned stores in the building were just a little bigger in size, but the business model was the same. But by the time he was a teenager, supermarkets had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and later completely replaced the department stores. This shows the importance of this sales model.
Superiority.
"The first floor is in addition to the self-selected shopping mall, and the second floor is the cafeteria."
"buffet?"
Gu Nansheng took the trouble to explain the definition of a cafeteria, which again made Karin marvel.
"What about the third floor?"
"The third floor is a martial arts arena."
"Martial fighting arena? Who can we find to fight?"
Gu Nansheng smiled, "Of course they are transferred fighters. The battle between transferred fighters is a mysterious existence for civilians. How could they not be interested? And if they want to go to the third floor to watch the game, they have to buy something.
.”
Karin admitted that this was a good idea, but, "Inviting professional warriors to compete will cost a lot of money..."
"No need...as long as we publish Mr. Nan's name...are you still worried that no one will come?" Gu Nansheng said confidently.
Karin gasped, this was really a brilliant idea.
Three days later, half of the large supermarket Gu Nansheng requested to be built has been built. The biggest feature of this supermarket is that the stairs are not together. To climb from the first floor to the second floor, if you want to go to the third floor, you must go through the second floor.
In some places, this forces everyone to take a detour, and when they take a detour, they have to look at things and buy things. This kind of trick is very common on the earth, but it is still innovative in the Duota Continent.
For three whole days, Gu Nansheng didn't see anyone. He locked himself in the room and didn't know what to do.
An An looked at the closed door, holding a glass of juice and milk that she had just made, took several deep breaths, and finally plucked up the courage to knock on the door.
Gu Nansheng, who was busy in the room, raised his head and said, "Come in."
"Master...Master." An An opened the door a small crack and squeezed in. She lowered her head very low and put the milk on the table respectfully. Then she stood stiff and still.
Gu Nansheng smiled, "Why are you nervous?"
"Ah? I..." An An was startled. She was really nervous. In her eyes, Gu Nansheng was a superior being, but she was just a slave girl who didn't even have human rights. The gap in status was so obvious that she just looked at it.
Gu Nansheng felt pressured.
"Don't call me master anymore."
"But..." The word slave girl echoed in An An's mind. It was a mark that could never be erased unless her master was willing to grant her human rights.
Gu Nansheng didn't ask for it anymore. He picked up the glass of juice and milk and took a sip. The temperature was just right, warm but not hot.
An An nervously looked at the expression on Gu Nansheng's face and found no displeasure, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she turned her attention to the things in Gu Nansheng's hands. Those things were very strange.
In front of Gu Nansheng was a pair of clay mixed with water, with a small shovel stuck on top.
Gu Nansheng used a small shovel to compact a small amount of clay into a square mold, then poured it out and pasted it on a piece of tissue paper. The tissue paper becomes a little transparent when wet, and you can see through the surface of the paper that on the other side of the paper
On one side, Gu Nansheng wrote a word, and when the paper was turned over, the word also turned upside down.
Gu Nansheng began to write and draw on the clay blocks with bamboo sticks and knives.
Debris of dirt and paper kept falling down, and after a while, a hollow word appeared on the clay surface.
I could vaguely tell that what was written was the character "人", but it was written backwards. Gu Nansheng's calligraphy skills were really not very good, and coupled with his unfamiliarity with the characters of Duota Continent, the writing was really ugly.
Then Gu Nansheng put the word on the fire and burned it. The clay began to harden, and soon cracks appeared. Gu Nansheng's face darkened, "Damn, it broke again. Could it be that the quality of the soil here is not good?"
Gu Nansheng threw down the clod of soil angrily. When he looked up, he saw An An, who was staring at his movements intently, "What are you looking at?"
