Big Capitalist

Weber looked at his distraught granddaughter and waved his hand gently. A soft light flashed, and Scarlett was pushed out as if by an invisible big hand.

Weber stood there, looking at the direction where Scarlett left, slowly shaking his head and sighing, his face showing a bit of helplessness and kindness, and whispering softly: "My dear granddaughter, I am doing this for your own good. Only if you keep owing Merlin money, will Merlin notice you, and you will have a chance!"

In his heart, perhaps this seemingly cruel method was to find a way out for his granddaughter's emotional path, but this method made Scarlett difficult to accept for a while.

Scarlett walked in a daze, her steps unsteady, and every step felt like she was stepping on cotton.

She was completely desperate. She had originally thought that she would come to her grandfather and hope to get some help, but she got nothing and even lost her only legendary card.

At this moment, she felt as if her life had fallen into endless darkness. The road ahead was bleak. How should she live in the future? It was really too difficult!

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Scarlett dragged her heavy body and sat down dejectedly on a chair.

As soon as she sat down, the grievances and despair accumulated in her heart burst out like a flood, instantly drowning her.

With a "wow" sound, Scarlett burst into tears directly on the chair. Her cry was heartbreaking, as if she wanted to vent all the pain.

At this time, several students passing by heard the crying and looked sideways.

They saw the little girl crying in the chair, and their kind nature prompted them to go forward and comfort her.

But one of them turned pale instantly after seeing Scarlett's face, as if he had seen some kind of ferocious beast. He quickly reached out to grab his companion, his voice trembling a little: "Run, that person is Senior Scarlett, you must not let her get involved, otherwise she will ask you to borrow money or treat you to a meal!"

The students who didn't understand what was going on were dumbfounded by their classmate's sudden reaction. They stood there, looking at him blankly.

"Remember, poverty is contagious!" The student left this "advice" and ran away with his companions without looking back.

Scarlett cried even louder after listening to what her junior classmates said. She felt so aggrieved.

She thought to herself, damn, these juniors are so hard to fool. I was thinking of pretending to be pitiful and tricking them into giving me dinner, but now even that thought is shattered.

It seems that I have to go to the canteen in the back mountain to buy on credit, but when will these days of buying on credit end?

Scarlett was immersed in her own sorrow. Everything around her seemed to have nothing to do with her. Only the tears that could not be stopped accompanied her through this difficult moment.

The next day, the Arcane City was about to witness an event of enormous magnitude that would shock the entire city.

Arcane City? The newly built large supermarket in the central square of the lower city is about to open. This news quickly swept through every corner of the Arcane City like a hurricane.

However, residents of Midtown and Uptown expressed clear disdain for this.

In their eyes, the downtown area was simply a disgusting place: the streets were narrow and dark, garbage was thrown on the roadside, and it emitted a foul stench; the sounds of fighting and quarreling were often heard in the alleys, and robbery and theft were common.

It was also a gathering place for orcs, and orc children played on the streets full of sewage, which was a far cry from the clean and elegant upper and middle cities where they lived. To them, going shopping in the lower city was simply unimaginable.

But what they don't know is that the lower city area of the Arcane City has been completely transformed, especially the central square area, which has undergone tremendous changes.

The former central square of the Lower Town was a typical example of dirtiness and disorder. The ground was bumpy, sewage was flowing everywhere, garbage piled up like a mountain, and the pungent smell attracted flies and mosquitoes to fly around.

Thieves were moving among the crowd, looking for targets to attack, while beggars were huddled in the corners in tattered clothes, extending their dirty hands to passers-by.

The orc children were playing in the chaos, their laughter blending with the surrounding noise, making it even more chaotic.

But now, everything is different.

Today, the central square in the downtown area has been completely renovated, with the ground paved with brand new marble tiles that gleam with a soft luster under the sunlight.

In the center of the square, an exquisite fountain is gushing happily. The crystal clear water columns draw graceful arcs in the air, and the water droplets splash, forming gorgeous rainbows under the refraction of the sun.

Next to the fountain stands a sculpture of Merlin. Merlin is dressed in gorgeous robes, holding a magic wand, with deep and wise eyes, as if guarding the square.

There are neatly arranged public seats around the square for people to rest. The trash cans are also very delicately designed. They are not only beautiful in appearance, but also clearly classified and kept clean at all times.

The square is shaded by green trees, flowers are in bloom, and the breeze brings bursts of fragrance. Children are laughing and playing in the square, while the elderly are sitting on benches leisurely basking in the sun. It is a harmonious and beautiful scene.

The old, dilapidated, dirty and messy shops that once crowded the central square have disappeared, replaced by a magnificent large-scale supermarket building.

The building is more than ten stories high, and its exterior adopts a design style that combines modern and magical elements. The huge glass curtain wall sparkles in the sun, reflecting colorful light.

At the top of the building, a huge magic crystal chandelier is suspended in the air, emitting a soft and bright light, illuminating the entire square even at night.

Above the main entrance, there is a huge magic crystal inlaid, which plays various promotions and special products in the supermarket in a loop.

As you enter the supermarket, a spacious and bright lobby comes into view. The floor is paved with smooth marble. In the center is a huge circular atrium surrounded by exquisite escalators and gorgeous staircases.

Above the atrium is a dome driven by magical energy, which constantly changes various fantastic scenes. Sometimes stars twinkle, sometimes colorful clouds float, and sometimes mysterious magical creatures appear, making people linger.

Going up the escalator, each floor is neatly divided and filled with all kinds of shops.

There are shops selling exquisite magic equipment, with glittering wands, sturdy armor and mysterious magic runes displayed in the windows; there are pharmacies filled with all kinds of rare herbs and magic potions, and the air is filled with a faint medicinal fragrance; there are also fashionable clothing stores displaying the latest styles of magic robes and gorgeous accessories.
