Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 493 One-Stop Bath Center
"Oh, this one."

Nana smiled and said, "This building was sponsored by Sect Master Ning of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

“That Sect Master Ning came to me last year and said that you have brought great benefits to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, but you only got a useless bead for yourself.”

"So, Sect Master Ning thought about it and, not knowing what you lacked, found out that you had a business in Shrek City. So he allocated the land deeds of the original massage parlor and the surrounding shops to us and built a large building."

"We originally thought that we should at least tell you about such a big thing."

"But both proprietresses refused, saying that at least half of the land deeds for the shops in Shrek City belonged to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, so it was nothing special and just a good surprise. I naturally had no choice but to agree."

At this point, Nana's tone became somewhat sarcastic, clearly questioning Chen Ping about why he had to pretend to be an innocent virgin when facing her back then, given that he already had two female confidantes.

"Cough cough cough." Chen Ping coughed awkwardly a few times: "What boss lady or not, don't talk nonsense, your boss is only seventeen years old."

Upon hearing this, Nana scratched her head in confusion: "Well, so boss, isn't it good to be young and accomplished?"

Chen Ping shook his head helplessly: "Take me to the office, let's talk there."

Following Nana toward the offices of the entire bathhouse building, Chen Ping looked around as he walked, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Building a bathhouse in the architectural style of the Sun and Moon Empire would require a considerable amount of gold soul coins in itself. Add to that the various soul tools and interior decoration, and the construction cost would be at least several hundred thousand gold soul coins, if not millions.

However, these fees are nothing compared to those land deeds. After all, Shrek City is only so big, and the price of any land deed is astronomical. Chen Ping couldn't help but smile wryly as he handed over land deeds that were enough to build a large building.

Damn it, the price of this great gift from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't seem to be much lower than the 100,000-year-old soul bone that Elder Mu gave!

Don't forget, a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, along with the level-nine soul tool Conferred God Platform, is only worth 100 million gold soul coins!

Is this the world of rich people?

Chen Ping clicked his tongue in amazement.

Sitting in his executive chair, Chen Ping casually took the financial report for the most recent year from Nana, took a sip of tea, and focused his attention on the document.

When he saw that the bathhouse had earned a full 500,000 gold soul coins in just one year after the building was completed last year, he almost spat out all the tea in his mouth.

Is it true that you can earn more than 2,000 gold soul coins in net profit every day?

This building shouldn't cost more than a million gold soul coins to build, right?

Perhaps anticipating Chen Ping's shock, Nana smiled and said, "Boss, this number isn't actually that much. Don't forget, our bathhouse is the only one in the entire Shrek City."

"The Soul Masters who live in Shrek City are usually already wealthy and powerful. In addition, our building is located here, and it uses the decoration materials of the Sun Moon Empire. We've basically taken over the business of the major restaurants. Many Soul Masters have moved their business meetings here instead of from the restaurants." "Furthermore, the massage techniques you left behind when you first started your all-inclusive massage shop, as well as those pills that only have temporary side effects but don't damage your foundation, are very popular among Shrek students. This has led to students from other academies starting to follow suit and buy these pills."

"Originally, the sales of our various potions and pills were not particularly good, but as soul tools became more and more widespread at Shrek Academy, most soul masters also let go of their psychological barriers to relying on external objects, and the sales of medicines naturally opened up."

After listening to Nana's report, Chen Ping felt dizzy.

Is this still his original business? How did it turn into a treasure trove in the blink of an eye?
On average, they can earn one gold soul coin a year to purchase a mediocre ten-thousand-year soul bone. This speed of making money is simply unbelievable, even exceeding the annual income of many small families.

But thinking about it carefully, as long as Chen Ping has such a large piece of land here, what can't he do to make money?

Shrek City, as a hub city, sees countless merchants and Soul Masters coming and going, and every shop lining the streets is thriving.

As one of the most important trading centers on the Douluo Continent, the bustling Shrek City has always been one of the most important sources of income for Shrek Academy.

Not to mention the massive volume of various goods handled each year and the huge transaction volume, the tax revenue alone is something that no other city on the mainland can match.

In this situation, making money is really not a difficult thing.

“I originally asked you to come back and run the massage parlor mainly so that you could find a way to make money, keep yourself busy, and have jobs on the surface. I really didn’t expect you to be able to run it like this.”

"But this is not bad either. How's the matter I asked you to do going?"

Chen Ping put away the form and looked at Nana.

An annual income of 880,000 gold soul coins would have been a number that would have made Chen Ping so happy that he would have been overjoyed and wouldn't have needed to work hard anymore.

But for Chen Ping, who had seen and experienced much, this gift at most made him sigh that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School was indeed the richest in the world, and give him a headache about how to return the gift to Ning Tian and Wu Feng.

Nana seemed to have anticipated Chen Ping's question, and immediately took out a new form and handed it to Chen Ping before speaking.

"As per your instructions, boss, I made a special trip to Shrek and got them to sign an order for a large quantity of low- to mid-grade rare metals every month. As for the price, it's as you said, we'll settle the payment when you get back."

"Shrek has also agreed. Not only have they not urged us for the past two years, but they also send rare metals to us as soon as they are produced and purified from those mines."

Chen Ping nodded, listening as Nana continued her report: "There aren't many liches in our demiplane currently capable of independently producing the core magic array needed for a level four fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell."

"As for the other components needed for the Level 4 fixed-load shell, according to the assembly line manufacturing method you instructed, they will be manufactured by other undead with poor intelligence, each responsible for only one or two of the simplest actions each time."

"So far, the production capacity in the half-plane is about 60 to 80 level 4 fixed shells per day, and the current shell reserves are about 50,000."
