Max started to ponder, he went through his memory to see if any of these options are viable to do business in the current environment. Origin city has a very short history of 20 years, but it is being developed very rapidly.
There are already a lot of hotels and restaurants in the city for all kinds of guests so he didn't want to choose a hotel template. Even if this option is very safe, there will be very little room to grow.
Then he thought about opening a cyber cafe but it was soon rejected by him because those computers will attract the attention of powerful people. This world is not middle age earth, they have their own technologies.
When he was going through old memories, he found that there were already something similar to computer games in this world known as Mystical realms which were launched by different organizations.
But he himself never tried one, because entry prices for them were in spirit stones not gold coins. Even when his brother was around, he could never afford it.
So after going through multiple templates he chose Auction house + restaurant because there is no auction house in this city. It's not like there are no Auction houses in this world but most of them are in commercial cities of different kingdoms.
While the Origin city is not part of any kingdom, it borders with all the kingdoms so it is being developed rapidly with the help of merchants and mercenaries.
Opening an Auction house in this chaotic city is no laughing matter, one of the prerequisites for an Auction house is security. So even if some organizations want to open an Auction house, they have to station a powerful cultivator in it.
Most of those powerful people don't want to come to this backward city, At least not until it is developed so Max thought that there would be close to zero friction with other organizations if he developed an Auction house here.
He never cared about security because the system said that it will provide protection within premises. Even if someone wanted to take action against the Mall, he will pretend to be a worker who was hired by a powerful senior.
I bet those powerful cultivators will never think that a weak chicken can be the owner of an Auction house.
Well i still have to be careful, i do not want to offend someone powerful, And i have Anna with me too. She can't spend whole life being trapped in this building.
"The reconstruction and decoration will take 30 minutes. Does host want to proceed now?" said the system.
Max thought a bit and asked "Can we schedule it at night?".
System replied "yes".
Just when Max was thinking about how to run restaurant and auction house, he heard someone opening door.
Anna came running in with pancakes in her hands. Pancakes were a bit big for her so she can only held one in each hand.
Anna gave one of the pancakes to max and said " Lazy uncle, eat it fast or it will go cold and won't be tasty anymore".
Even though she was calling him lazy, she was still worried about him. Max also knew it so he took one of the pancake from her and said "you eat it too, for dinner we will go out in evening".
Anna was happy that they will eat out, even though her uncle cooks everyday but he is not as good as her mom.
After eating the pancake, Max went through all the memories of the previous owner and sorted them out. Even though the previous owner was not powerful , since last year he took a lot of jobs, so he knew almost everything about this city.
According to the previous owner this world is called the dragon continent. And there are five major kingdoms on this continent.
Northern kingdom, which is in the north of the continent and it is very cold because of all the ice mountains in the north. Those ice mountains are one of the most dangerous places in the world. There are many magical beasts in the ice mountains.
Golden light kingdom, which is in the west, it is one of the most prosperous kingdoms. There is a desert in the far west of the golden light kingdom.
Silver wing kingdom is in the east, at one time it was the most powerful kingdom but because of internal fights between nobles and the royal family it declined but the lean camel is still stronger. Previous owner and his brother used to live in the silver wing kingdom before moving to the Origin city. In the east of Silver Wing kingdom is a vast Rain forest.
White Shark Kingdom is in the south of the continent, it is the only kingdom with naval power on the continent. Even though they can't fight on ground, due to strong naval power they can be deadly. Due to the sea boundary in the south, Rain forest in the east, Misty mountains in the west , they have a geographical advantage when it comes to defense.
Ori Tribe is one of the powers on this continent which can contend against these kingdoms. They live in the outer layer of The Rain forest and are very good at gorilla attack and survival. Although their population is small compared to other kingdoms, but each one of them is very powerful because their children starts to hunt beasts very early in age.
Origin CIty is not a part of these kingdoms but was established as a neutral zone when all kingdoms stopped long lasting war with each other and signed a peace treaty.
Anna had already ate her pancake and went out to play. Max was busing sorting out all the information.
Soon it was evening, Anna came running in from outside "Uncle, Should we go out to eat?".
Max looked at her and smiled "okay lets go out, but you should wash your face and hands before we go out".
Anna looked at her dirty hands, they were stained with sand and sweat. She ran out embarrassed to clean them.
Max let out a chuckle after looking at her embarrassed face, which was very cute.
After sorting out his own clothes Max went out with Anna. Area where Max and Anna lived was very remote so he decided to go to city square.
After walking for 20 minutes both of them reached city square. There were a lot of people on the streets around the square.
It was one of the most crowded areas of the city, because there are many famous buildings near the city square.
City Lord's mansion, one of the busiest places in the city, is situated near city square so calling this place crowded is understatement.
Mercenary Guild is also situated near the city lord's mansion.
That is why this place is the most developed part of the Origin City. There are a lot of restaurants, Hotels, Shops here.
But most of these businesses belong to the rich and powerful. If a normal person wants to start a business here, he has to pay a lot. And without a powerful backing it's very hard to do business in this chaotic city.
Max was also familiarizing himself with the city, even though he has the memory of the previous owner but seeing through his own eyes is more fascinating.
After walking for another 10 minutes, Max and Anna reached a mid size restaurant named Hamid's restaurant. There were around 20 people who were eating inside.
Anna was peeking inside the restaurant with excitement. Max went inside with Anna. Just as he was looking for a seat, a girl approached them with a smile and took them to an empty table.
There was a menu on every table so Max looked at the items mentioned on the menu. Even though he knew some of the items from memories, Most of them were still unfamiliar to him.
So he chose meat dishes such as pork and steak. After selecting dishes he looked towards Anna, who was looking at him with big blue eyes.
Max asked "Anna, do you want to order something for yourself".
Being called by Max, Anna was flustered. She was very nervous while sitting in this kind restaurant.
