As a minor leader of the " Concrete Pouring Club," [ Zhongde ] even received a personal reception from Gray, the Grand Foundry Master.
News of their meeting even made the front page of the Great Labyrinth City's bulletin board.
Although Zhongde and Gray had known each other since last year, their current status was vastly different from before, so meeting each other still showed how much they valued each other.
In addition to the overwhelming emotional value, Gray also presented a jaw-dropping rebuilding contract.
According to the above quote, as long as this job is completed, everyone in the " Concrete Pouring Club " can comfortably lie down for at least three months.
The only requirement in the contract was the speed of reconstruction, and Gray, the Grand Foundry Master, personally issued instructions on this matter.
"You can take your time, but you must be fast!"
Normally, [ Zhongde ] would simply laugh off such ridiculous demands from clients.
Do you even know anything about civil engineering, you idiot?
But this time is different, or rather, Gray is truly different!
The Great Labyrinth City is built upon the world's largest metal mine, and Gray shows the Soul Returner what it truly means to "live off the land."
After paying the full amount in advance with outrageous generosity, [ Zhongde ] was just short of saying, "I would die for you, the Grand Foundry Master."
Regarding that small request from before, [ Zhongde ] himself issued a statement:
With just a few pointers, the Grand Foundry Master Daye found a feasible way to significantly improve our work efficiency and solved a problem that had plagued the construction industry for decades. He is truly a rare talent in the construction field.
If Gray hadn't already secured a better job as Grand Foundry Master, he would have definitely recruited the other man into his engineering team.
After resolving the client's issues, [ Zhongde ], who held the project funds, clearly stated that he would demonstrate to the residents of the Great Labyrinth City what "the speed of a civil engineer's paycheck" truly meant.
The " Concrete Pouring Club," whose numbers had already swelled considerably since its inception, mobilized its entire force Descent the Great Labyrinth City to demonstrate to the locals what otherworldly speed truly meant.
They even displayed banners proclaiming that another world had been superseded.
Construction site culture, such as "work hard in light rain, work relentlessly in heavy rain, work even in torrential rain, and work like crazy when it's not raining" and "treat the moonlight as if it were daytime, and make one day of sunshine count as two," has smoothly invaded this pristine and otherworldly realm.
The Great Labyrinth City also has its own set of construction rules. They do not use materials such as cement, but instead mainly use pre-processed metal and stone, making it more like a modular house from another world.
Players from another world were even more excited by this sight--
Concrete pouring requires time to Solidification; what does modular housing require time to solidify?
No need to wait for anything!
There's only one word—Do it!
The two-shift system was quickly arranged, and the entire construction site began to ring 24 hours a day.
As for whether it will disturb the residents?
Disturbing the peace requires the people to exist first.
Thirty city blocks were razed to the ground, and not even a dog spawned in the vicinity, let alone NPCs.
Soon the residents of the Great Labyrinth City noticed that, in just one night, the ruins of those buildings had been completely cleared away.
After another night, they were able to vaguely see the foundations of many houses.
Those fenced-off construction sites were like monstrous beasts that devoured everything. Massive amounts of building materials were transported in, but the beasts showed no signs of being satiated.
Two days later, the residents found that they no longer needed to stay overnight. They simply went to do other things and came back to find that the construction sites had changed drastically.
Perhaps an extra wall was added, or all the doors and windows were installed, or a roof was built...
In the end, even the bewildered locals were left with only one word they had learned from these outsiders:
"Dry!"
In just three days and two nights, the " Concrete Pouring Club " completed the restoration of an entire street.
The moment the construction site fence was removed, all the onlookers cheered.
After several days of information dissemination, the crowd gathered around the construction site now consisted not only of the civilians whose homes had been demolished, but also of a large number of onlookers and vendors.
Some people were selling work clothes, some were selling homemade tools, and some were even selling classic construction site lunches...
But at this moment, everyone joined the cheering crowd.
The renowned Grand Artisan " Nether Melt "Felix personally inspected the newly built houses on this street. After confirming that there were no quality issues, cheers erupted from the crowd once again, and people's trust in the Soul Returner community increased significantly.
After confirming the quality was up to standard, the " Concrete Pouring Club " quickly moved on to the next construction site. Then came the familiar sounds of fencing, the familiar clanging and banging, the familiar rapid progress, and the familiar on-time delivery...
As the process of building skyscrapers from scratch continued, the year 909 of the Wang calendar arrived in October.
In the slightly chilly autumn breeze, the last street, reduced to ruins by battle, was finally rebuilt thanks to the efforts of the Soul Returner.
These newly built houses not only use high-quality local materials from the Great Labyrinth City, but also embody the wisdom of another world.
In fact, when the project entered its second phase, local Grand Artisan came to learn about management experience.
The man, wearing a white helmet, wandered around like a safety officer, startling many of the Soul Returner and causing them to become somewhat stressed.
However, since the other party was not a safety officer from another world, he wasn't interested in whether the Soul Returner had followed the regulations. Instead, he was quite concerned about the various levels of management systems at the construction site.
After all, someone who can become Grand Artisan must be incredibly skilled, but they might not be as adept at coordination and management as a foreman in a world without magic.
With this learning experience, the construction efficiency of local construction teams working on Graycast Corridor may be greatly improved in the future.
However, [ Zhongde ] did not think so, because he had realized that he was in a treasure trove.
From now on, the " Concrete Pouring Club " really needs to have some members permanently stationed here; otherwise, what will happen when so many high-quality projects are taken over by others?
In short, amidst the laughter and chatter of the locals in the Great Labyrinth City, most members of the " Concrete Pouring Club " quietly left with bulging wallets after leaving behind their own legends.
The reconstruction of the Great Labyrinth City is complete, the Soul Returner are preparing to set sail, progress in the Wilderness of Chaos is going smoothly, two tireless fishermen have spawned near the Holy City, and Valhalla has opened its first Dungeon with a High Tier boss...
With the situation in the north of the continent largely resolved, Ed, who had been watching everything like a tentacle monster, slowly turned his attention to the struggle in the south.
