Chapter 2799: Inclusive Philosophy, Ke'er Construction

~7 min read 1,275 words

The design scheme by Yikejita and the others was not yet named, but after seeing the specific design, Xia Duo named it the "Layered Polyhedral Sightseeing Tower" scheme.

Specifically, it consists of irregular flat prisms stacked layer upon layer to form a sightseeing tower; the reason it is called "polyhedral" is that this tower looks like a different shape when viewed from every direction.

Among these shapes are some that express Elf culture and others that embody Netherese culture, and as the viewing angle changes, these shapes also gradually change.

Of course, current Netheril does not have many cultural symbols worth mentioning, so Yikejita and the others used relatively classic Arcane Geometry Diagrams from Netheril Magic.

From this, it can also be seen that the Elves are not completely ignorant of Netheril Magic; these ordinary designers already have some understanding of it, to say nothing of the upper echelons.

Besides its appearance, this sightseeing tower also possesses practical functions; tourists outside can walk along the tower's irregular layered structure until they reach the observation deck at the top.

Inside the sightseeing tower is a consumer space that integrates dining, lodging, and entertainment.

Seeing this design, Xia Duo had to admit that even among Elves, there are quite a few who can fathom a superior's intentions; last time, he merely mentioned a need for practicality while expressing interest in Yikejita's restaurant.

As a result, this scheme focuses on being a consumer space, featuring not only dining but also other things.

However, Xia Duo was not dissatisfied with such a design; on the contrary, he highly approved of it. He could not truly build a landmark that had no use in daily life; compared to appearance features, he needed practical functions more.

It can allow every human or Elf who comes to Evereska to personally experience the culture of Daxia Territory, whether it be dining and gourmet culture or other cultures.

As for the appearance of this current scheme, in Xia Duo's view, it still fell a bit short, but in the eyes of other Netherese Mages or Elves, it was already enough to embody the designer's thoughtful philosophy.

Of course, from an Elf's perspective, it was actually also a bit lacking, but these were inherently non-mainstream designers, and Xia Duo did not actually want them to cater to the mainstream; listening to his arrangements and completing the necessary design was enough.

Therefore, regarding the appearance, Xia Duo did not offer too many opinions, focusing more on the interior of the building and inquiring about the construction process.

After some discussion, Xia Duo and these designers agreed to meet again in a week; if there are no accidents, the final draft can be set next week, and then the construction team can be contacted for scheduling.

If everything goes smoothly, it might even be possible to complete the preliminary construction before the end of the month, and the remaining interior decoration details can definitely be finished within a month if they hurry.

……

After sending off Yikejita and the other designers, Xia Duo contacted Aoruipusi. Originally, he only wanted to ask about the progress of opening up the market in Yierlan, but the other party actually ran back to report in person.

"I thought the Lord might have other requirements, so I came back. Meitelier has a Portal that goes directly to Evereska; it is very convenient."

"Fine."

Since they were already back, what else could Xia Duo say? "In Yierlan, has Xierdalanna fulfilled her promise?"

"She fulfilled it, but not much. That Ms. Xierdalanna only handled the business license within Yierlan for the Time Tower Chamber of Commerce; there was nothing more."

"Then what is your situation in Meitelier right now?" Xia Duo asked again.

"The people of Meitelier still remember your kindness, my Lord, and have given good support in all aspects. Currently, many Meitelier chambers of commerce have purchased our Void Warehouse service, and they are generally for ten years at a minimum."

"Very good!"

Hearing this news, Xia Duo was secretly delighted; didn't this situation open up all at once? He then gave an Indication to Aoruipusi: "Continue to deeply cultivate the Meitelier market, and rely on the favorable conditions of Meitelier to radiate and expand to the surrounding areas."

"My Lord, since the business environment in Meitelier is so favorable to us, could we also launch other products of the Time Tower there?"

"You can test it on a small scale; if the effect is not obvious, then forget it. Currently, the main push is still the Void Warehouse, understand?" Xia Duo considered it and agreed to Aoruipusi's suggestion.

But selling everything and earning every cent would only rapidly damage his reputation in Meitelier. Once the Meitelier Elves feel that the Time Tower Chamber of Commerce is greedy, I am afraid even the Void Warehouse market will be lost.

Therefore, Xia Duo would rather earn a little less to ensure he can gain a firm foothold in Meitelier.

If it weren't for the fact that Daxia Territory and Meitelier are truly not on the same scale, he would even want to try to make Daxia Territory and Meitelier sister cities, or even open a Permanent Teleportation Portal directly between them.

However, as long as he works hard to manage this relationship, even if it is not possible now, it will certainly be possible in the future.

Humans and Elves are indeed in a competitive relationship, but they do not have to be enemies who fight to the death. If they can cooperate for mutual benefit, that would of course be best.

……

"The landmark building scheme for the exchange between the two places has been preliminarily completed. You can now contact the various construction workshops in Evereska to ask for quotes, learn about past cases, evaluations, etc. Give me an answer next week."

This was a new task Xia Duo gave to Aoruipusi, but unexpectedly, Aoruipusi seemed to have been prepared. "My Lord, actually, during the street lamp renovation project, I had already investigated the Vidas Workshop that undertook the project."

"After learning about the exchange plan between Daxia Territory and Evereska, and knowing that you would build a new landmark building in Evereska, I also conducted an investigation into other well-known construction workshops."

"Oh? Then do you have any recommendations?" Xia Duo asked with interest.

"My Lord, there are currently more than forty construction workshops of various sizes in Evereska, but the vast majority are workshop-style teams with fewer than ten workers. Some do not even have professional Mage builders. There are only four that can truly be called large, mature teams!"

Aoruipusi then introduced the four teams one by one. "One of them is the Vidas Workshop, which you should already know about. This is a typical local Evereska construction team, consistently known for its efficiency."

"The other three are Ke'er Construction, which is a construction team jointly operated by Dwarves and Elves, most skilled in large-scale building construction."

"Rose Garden, which is also a local Evereska construction team, most skilled in garden construction; Ten Victories Construction, which is a construction team from Keman, skilled in building military fortresses and also undertaking private security buildings."

"Tell me more about that Ke'er Construction!"

Actually, after hearing Aoruipusi's brief introduction to these four large construction teams, Xia Duo already had a preference, but efficiency was not the only choice for him.

Especially upon hearing that Ke'er Construction was a fusion team, the design philosophy of the Polyhedral Sightseeing Tower was already centered on inclusivity and multi-cultural fusion; if the construction team was also a fusion team, wouldn't it be even more fitting?
