Volume 3 Chapter 49 - I am also a magician (1/2)

When they arrived in the Falling Rain Valley, Xu Yi jumped out and bid farewell to chairman Cruise.

Xu Yi didn’t ask chairman Cruise to come in to rest because he knew that chairman Cruise must be thinking about the new profits that he mentioned on the way here, so he wanted to rush back to Banta City to consider it.

Xu Yi was even certain that after chairman Cruise returned to Banta City, he would immediately explore the shores of the river that he mentioned before. If nothing unexpected happened, he would meet Count Stagg and would want to buy the river bank to develop commercial housing.

That’s right, the new method of earning profit Xu Yi gave the Amrit Chamber of Commerce was to develop commercial housing.

To put it strictly, this wasn’t completely new because commercial housing was a construction project that the Amrit Chamber of Commerce was good at before, but now they were expanding on it.

But the real concept of commercial housing hadn’t appeared in the Lampuri Kingdom or on the Sines Continent yet because there were few people and plenty of land. For most of the normal people, they just wanted a house that could keep out the elements, they didn’t need a high quality for the house.

After Xu Yi proposed this, chairman Cruise immediately gave his opposition.

The Amrit Chamber of Commerce has been in the construction business for so many years, so naturally they understood the industry very well. Chairman Cruise fully understood that this commercial housing had no market at all.

But after hearing Xu Yi’s explanation, chairman Cruise gradually changed from doubt to belief, trusting everything that Xu Yi told him.

Xu Yi was right, the people of the continent didn’t have requirements for their houses because there wasn’t money before. Another reason was that commercial housing suited for commoners hadn’t appeared yet.

Before this, because there was a large gap between the poor and rich when the rich nobles and merchants wanted to find a dwelling, they would always choose independent manors. It was safe and peaceful, it was something that housing for commoners couldn’t compare to.

For the commoners that couldn’t afford these manors, other than these large manors, the only residences available were tattered huts for the poor or two story wooden buildings, like the one that Xu Yi rented before.

These houses to Xu Yi were not suited for humans to live in, so when he made his proposition to the doubtful chairman Cruise, he took out the new concept commercial housing that he had Vivian draw before.

When he saw the new concept buildings that Xu Yi had stolen from earth, chairman Cruise who had spent a long time in the architecture business didn’t need long to see the convenience and advancements of these designs.

The more important thing was that Xu Yi had added the concept of a magic room to these designs, integrating the use of household magic machines, laying down a network of magic wires inside these rooms. Not only did the room seem artistic, life would be very convenient living in one.

Chairman Cruise’s heart skipped a beat after seeing this design. Not only did he immediately agree to Xu Yi’s idea of commercial housing, he even requested that Xu Yi change the manor he was currently living in, so he could also enjoy the comforts of this new concept magic room.

Xu Yi naturally agreed, but as for the design……that was a matter for the genius designer Vivian.

When he was thinking about Vivian, Vivian had appeared in front of Xu Yi.

Seeing Vivian run over and the beautiful girl behind her with a blush on her face, Xu Yi was a bit surprised. He asked Vivian who had already run over, “Why are you here today? You don’t need to go to school? Or……”

Xu Yi thought for a bit and remembered that this beautiful girl behind Vivian wasn’t her classmate. It was the girl he had saved on the streets of Banta City last time, that Teresa Ica.

“It’s already vacation time for school.” Vivian replied with a smile, “Master, you must have been very busy and forgotten, right? It’s almost the New Years, what classes could there be?”

“Oh, right……I was in the Stantine Duchy during this time, that place was very warm and it didn’t feel like the New Years at all.” Xu Yi patted his head before looking at Teresa Ica, “Young miss Ica, have you been well during the time I’ve been away?”

After saying Teresa Ica, Xu Yi had thrown her to the Falling Star Manor, letting Vivian, Liz, and Linda take care of her. He didn’t care about her at all and this was Xu Yi’s second time meeting her.

Compared to when he had saved her a month ago, she looked much better now. She was no longer as weak as before and her mood was better. At least her mood had calmed down, only she still wasn’t smiling.

When she saw Xu Yi was asking her a question, Teresa gave a curtsy before giving Xu Yi a bow and replying with a soft voice, “Many thanks for your concern, I’ve been very well during this time. Chairman Xu, I’ve never thanked you before. I sincerely thank you for reaching out your hand and saving me when I was in danger.”

“There’s no need to be polite, it’s good that you’ve been well during this time.” Xu Yi turned back to Vivian, “Then Vivian, why did you come to the Falling Rain Valley with young miss Ica today?”

“Because we heard that master is coming back today.” Vivian said with a smile, “Teresa wanted to thank you face to face, so hearing that you would be back today, she had me bring her here early in the morning. We’ve been waiting for several hours now.”
