Chapter 38: Building Upgrades
【Shop Level 1 (50/50)】
[If the store operation meets the conditions, you can upgrade it by investing materials and money.] 】
[Upgrade Cost: 50 Gold, 30 Wood, 20 Metal, 5 ...... Cloth]
A few days later.
Once again, Lindsey sent away customers who had come to the store to buy plants.
And on his properties panel, the store finally got an upgrade option.
"With the help of the golden rule, even publicity is exempt from doing business."
Lindsay nodded in satisfaction.
He inspected the materials in the warehouse, and he was now meeting the needs of the store to upgrade.
He didn't level up right away, though.
These days, with Alini helping to keep people away, Lindsay was not disturbed by the merchant anymore. However, there are still occasional people watching the surrounding streets.
In broad daylight, Lindsay didn't want to get into trouble.
So when the moon was high and the streets were quiet in the dead of night, Lindsay chose to upgrade the store.
Ding Lingdang——
Lindsay stood firmly behind the counter.
The upgrade of the store is just like in the game, press the upgrade button, provide the corresponding materials, and then there is nothing else to do.
The game skill automatically extracts essentia, and the materials in the warehouse disappear with it.
The entire store is upgraded at the mercy of the game's skills.
It didn't take more than half a minute.
The space in the store has been changed to be used more effectively, and the original windows have also been transformed into window displays, and yellow wooden stepped shelves have been added to display some rare and colorful plants.
As for the shelves that were originally handmade by Lindsay, all the materials and shapes have been replaced.
The delicate wooden shelves form a plant display area, each of which is like a small botanical garden with meticulous and wonderful details.
At the other end of the foyer, there is also a dedicated lounge area.
Comfortable seats and tables are available for customers to relax and converse.
Lindsay was standing inside the store the whole time.
As the actual builder of the shop, Lindsay noticed that the load-bearing structure of the entire building had also changed. At least it's much more stable than his beginner-level building ability.
At the same time, the interior space of the store has also expanded considerably.
It's not a visual difference or some kind of spatial expansion, it's the whole building, which is really bigger in size!
"Uh...... Shouldn't this be considered an illegal building, right? ”
Lindsay hurriedly walked out of the store and began to measure the size of the house at night.
Because he runs a store, he also went to the city hall to go through the relevant procedures, and the other party clearly stipulates the size of the store.
Of course, the size of the small personal store is fine.
But if it goes beyond this category, it is a fair and honest illegal construction!
After some measurements, it was confirmed that the upgrade and expansion did not exceed the specified range, and Lindsay was relieved.
At this moment, he opened the information panel of the store.
【Shop: Lindsay's Magical Plant Shop】

[Clerk: 0/1]

Unlock one for the employee slot.
The scale of the store has expanded, the furniture has been upgraded, these are the basic data after the upgrade.
"It's not bad that the store has been fully upgraded."
"But the next level of promotion requires 500 transactions. According to this leapfrog growth, the subsequent upgrade of the store may be slower and slower. ”
For a serious businessman, this volume is not excessive.
But Lindsay was not destined to stay in one place.
The subsequent upgrade of the store may be slower and slower in the future.
With this thought, Lindsay returned to the house.
The good news is that the front store has been upgraded, and even Lindsay's own living space in the rear has also been upgraded in this project.
The bedroom is more spacious and the bed is softer and more comfortable.
There was an extra cenote in the yard, and even the kitchen stove became two.
Even Lindsay's handmade wooden rocking chair has a new massage function.
"Hmmm......"
Lindsey stretched.
He moved the rocking chair directly to the fishing platform, and as he flicked the hook, he began to think about tomorrow's action.
According to the agreement, Alini settled the income for him once a week.
We will meet again in two or three days.
During this time, I should go to the library in Jiuwan City.
Buying phoenix grass is just one step in treating the arm.
The other two herbs, as well as the secret realm of life in the forest, need to be prepared in advance.
"According to Physician Tang, secret realms are very rare in the forest."
"Even if I have a map skill to help me, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to find it."
Lindsey had a clear idea.
Instead of searching slowly in the forest.
It is better to go to the library to check the almanac and related records first, which should bring a lot of convenience to the subsequent actions.
……
Early the next morning, Lindsay got up from her brand new shop.
He made a sign that was closed for a day and hung it at the door, and then walked in the direction of the city library.
Ordinary people need to charge a certain amount of money to enter the library. But the Awakened have the privilege of consulting ordinary books completely free.
Lindsay had only walked around the library twice before the problem arose.
The library area of Jiuwan City is not large, corresponding to the small building, and the internal collection of books also highlights a desolation.
The bookshelves placed against the wall leave large blank spaces.
Lindsay stepped forward to check and could see some traces of use.
"There used to be books, but now they're gone?"
Lindsay was puzzled and had to ask the library staff for help.
It was an old man with gray hair.
"Sir, I want to look up almanacs and other records, but there don't seem to be any books in the library?"
The old man shook his head slowly:
"Young people, the library here was built with investment from life scientists."
"A few years ago, however, they shifted their focus and moved their collection of books to Lookout City. The collection of books you see now is still donated by merchants in the city. ”
Lindsay was stunned, and said with a wry smile:
"So if I want to look up books about the surroundings of the Morinaka Garden, I'll have to go to Lookout Castle?"
"At least not here." The old man nodded.
“……”
"Okay, excuse me."
Seeing that she couldn't get information, Lindsay politely said goodbye and prepared to leave.
He wasn't going to go back to Lookout.
The library is out of stock, so I have to go to the relevant units of the city hall to inquire.
Nine Bay City was now in the hands of the seventh-stage organizer. In order to obtain information from the other side, I am afraid that the difficulty and danger cannot be ignored.
He was about to walk out of the library door.
At this moment, probably because of Lindsay's polite farewell, the old man in the rear kindly reminded him:
"That's right, young man."
"There's a bibliophile on Green Pine Street, and if you really want to find something, you can go to him and ask him."
