Chapter 36 Big Bath
Since Lisa went to investigate the location of the Cult of the God of Struggle's hideout, the Cult of the Goddess of Plenty's hideout seemed a little deserted.
But Rand was able to relax and take a walk around the hideout.
It would take a lot of energy to constantly be on the lookout for new ideas that Lisa might come up with.
As for the dens more and more work.
Well...it's all been pushed to Ellie and Olenna.
If we use words from our past lives to describe them, these two are two perfect palus.
He is willing to work even without salary or vacation. He is simply a worker chosen by God.
Ellie didn't really care about Rand's exploitation. Although Rand didn't say it, the man who could develop a den with only a dozen people to such a level would definitely not be slacking off. I just don't know what this man with a lot of inner conflicts is thinking.
She learned about the initial situation from the believers. From a cult den of a dozen people to controlling an entire barony today, this is something that ordinary people cannot do.
Olenna's idea was similar to Ellie's. Although she was still a little embarrassed every time she saw Rand due to the previous video incident, her admiration for Rand had not diminished in the slightest, which was why she was willing to follow Rand's arrangements.
She believed that she would benefit a lot from studying under Rand for a period of time.
Such learning opportunities were not available in the White Kingdom. Those ministers and generals had never really controlled the development of the entire territory in such detail.
Like Ellie, Olenna was very curious about Rand's ambitions.
As for Rand, he thought Olenna and Ellie were really beautiful, with white skin and bright eyes.
To use Rand's words from his previous life, her figure is so beautiful and unique, standing out from the crowd.
When people relax, their thoughts will turn to strange places, such as beautiful girls. If Rand knew that Ellie and Olenna were both guessing that he was a man of great talent, he might feel embarrassed for a while.
But not for long, now that his skin has been toughened up by Lysa.
However, it would not be right to say that Rand did not do any work. At this time, he was supervising the construction of a holiday villa attached to the hideout.
The holiday villa is divided into four levels: level one thatched house, level two wooden house, level three brick house, and the highest level special house.
It is prepared for adventurers of different consumption levels. As we all know, there are always some noble children with noble blood and outstanding status who like to be adventurers, just like the protagonist group that Ellie was supposed to form.
These pseudo-adventurers have extremely high spending power and do not need to make money through adventures, so they do not need to be thrifty. They are often generous and picky, and are absolute fat sheep.
However, Rand didn't know much about the needs of this type of adventurers, so he planned to ask Ellie and Olenna.
Thinking about this, I came to the sacrificial room. Now the sacrificial room has been expanded outward to form an area as a special office, but it is still connected to where Rand lives.
When Rand came in, Ellie and Olenna just looked up. Recently, due to the advancement of Rand's plan, more and more things need to be dealt with. Although most of them are quite repetitive and trivial, problems will still arise if they are not dealt with.
"Ahem." Rand coughed twice to draw the attention of the two beauties, and then asked, "Do you have any needs in life right now, or anything you particularly want?"
Ellie looked at Rand warily. In her eyes, Rand's moral integrity was too low. His sudden words made her doubt whether this messenger of God had other purposes.
"What do you want to say?" Ellie asked tentatively.
Rand didn't think of beating around the bush and said directly: "My plan is to provide accommodation for nearby adventurers. I was thinking about what kind of infrastructure adventurers like you need most."
The implication is that they want to reap the benefits.
Ellie breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Rand was not thinking about anything strange. She turned her head and looked at Olenna, then said, "Bathtub!"
Rand suddenly understood.
In this world, he recommended that his followers bathe every twenty days, but this interval was unacceptable to Ellie and Olenna, who had been pampered for years.
Anyway, Rand sometimes got close to Ellie and Olenna, but he never smelled any bad odor. It was obvious that they took a bath very diligently.
But as we all know, it is very dangerous for a beautiful girl to take a bath in the wild. In addition to the threats from wild beasts and even goblins, there may also be some male humans with ulterior motives.
Therefore the demand for a safe and comfortable bath is very high.
Seeing Rand deep in thought, Ellie and Olenna were afraid that Rand would give up due to cost pressure, so they continued, "If you are willing to build a bath, we can provide funding."
Rand suddenly laughed, leaving Ellie and Olenna a little confused.
Rand recalled the first time he met Taner. At that time, this wealthy paladin also invested money to support the den, which saved the den's originally bankrupt finances. Now, someone else took the initiative to invest in the construction of the den.
Although I originally wanted to build a bathhouse, I would rather not waste free money.
Rand blinked, but he didn't intend to cheat money, and said: "If you are really willing to sponsor, I can share some of the profits after it is completed."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As for the proportion, it depends on the extent of their investment.
Ellie blinked and glanced at Olenna, who then took out a small bag of coins from her small bag and handed it to Rand. After opening it, Rand discovered that poverty had limited his imagination.
In an era when 1 pound of ordinary black bread was 4 copper coins, gold coins were a very exaggerated denomination. However, there were only a few gold coins in Ellie's small bag, and most of them were gems.
Although Rand did not know how to appraise treasures or the quality of gemstones, these gemstones were obviously priceless and were fully qualified to be inlaid in the crown of a king.
Gulp~ Rand swallowed his saliva and laughed awkwardly: "No need for so much, this is too much."
Olena also blinked her beautiful eyes with long eyebrows and said, "You know, we won't take over."
This damn intimate feeling.
In the end, Rand and Ellie signed a treaty. The price was a gem of unknown value, and Ellie would share 15% of the net profit of the big bath. To be honest, Rand felt quite guilty when he signed the contract.
He always felt that he had gotten a great deal on this contract, and the price of this gemstone always seemed beyond his imagination, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of exposing his poor imagination.
But Ellie and Olenna didn't care. This little money was nothing to them.
The contract was carefully written in two copies, and after both parties checked it, each party kept one copy. This kind of contract has little practical benefit in this era without a notary.
It was all Rand's idea to make it so formal. He claimed that the profits from the bathhouse would be returned to Ellie and Olenna in the future. Rand didn't want to take too much advantage of his allies at this early stage.
Leaving the sacrifice room, Rand made up his mind.
So the first thing to do is to build a large bath.
I didn’t expect that the first large-scale construction project at the den would be to build a wonder. I hope that the wonder will not harm the country.
In addition to construction, education in the den is also imperative, and Rand must find a way to come up with a basic teaching material.
He is deeply disgusted by the current situation of lack of talent and no one available.
