Chapter 10: Ch.: 10. Shop opened, Rio vega, Spider-Man shopping
The company was set up name Blockcraft Industries and manav made planet made of blocks as a logo for his company.
He rented a small shop, the size of shop was size of those Chinese MC's rooms before they were reborn.
(No offense, I just don't know why most of Chinese fanfictions start with explaining that MC was orphan and is renting a small room and died in that small room, I know prices are very high, but why! Why all MC's are orphans, don't guys with full families have opportunity, they are also human beings.)
Manav installed a signboard with a single name with no fashion or design, the Blockcraft shop, since 2014.
Manav posted a post online on job hub app with picture of shop and line saying, "We believe in great people doing great things. Explore our job openings and find your perfect fit. Join us today!".
"Now shop is set up, let's sit on counter fortunate guys will come to my shop, and there may be few people coming to get job here, if they see the post I posted on job hub." Manav thought to himself and sat on chair behind counter.
Manav has decorated his shop with Minecraft made products.
He removed all the previous designs and replaced them with Minecraft products.
Manav also made figurine of spider man theme, from all of the variants he knew from all the other universes of spider-verse.
And he made the figurines of 95 centimetres based on the size he can craft them into figurine glass blocks.
He thought and tried this idea as Caren mentioned and tried putting the block of glass and an small figurine of captain america into the crafting table and crafting table took out a product of glass blocks containing a captain america figurine inside it in the middle.
Manav was surprised and shocked that he succed, but one thing that fascinated manav was that the figurine in glass blocks was looking so cool and dashing he thought of not selling this product, and keep it to himself this technique.
But he left the idea behind after a few days, he knew that if he don't try someone will try.

The small bell attached on the door rang the moment customer stepped on the pressure plate.
"Hello esteemed customer welcome in our shop the Blockcraft." Manav said standing up when he heard the small bell ringing.
Manav raised his hand saw a beautiful girl same age of him.
"Hello are you the manager here?" Girl asked manav.
"Oh I'm the boss and manager both here, say what you want to buy? We have varieties of products than can be liked by people of baby age to old age." Manav said in tone of introduced.
"Well I'm here asking for whether the job here is available or not, and are you really giving 1000 dollar of monthly pay which will increase with performance and tip service." Girl asked manav.
"It is real, but only for full time workers, so are part time or full time workers." Manav answered and asked back.
Girl was suspicious that who give such a high salary when the shop is just opened.
And this shop is small compared to those who gives salary of 1000 dollars per month at start.
"I am part timer, I can work from 11 o'clock in morning to 4 o'clock in evening." Girl replied counting her fingers.
"Than your salary will be 600 dollars per month." Manav said after thinking for a short time.
"800 and I will work for you, you know no one will believe you with such a small shop and high raise, no one will come for job." Girl said.
"700." Manav said.
"800." Girl said.
"710."
"750." Girl said again.
"Okay you're hired." Manav said with his arms expanded wide.
"Now tell me your name, age, address, and experience." Manav asked girl taking out a paper from counter.
"Rio Vega, asking age of girl is bad thing, but for a job 19, address Brooklyn williamsberg... And I am a nurse at emergency ward, fully experienced for 4 hours, talented in speaking to the straight point." Girl name Rio answered.
"Okay, when will you start job, today or tomorrow?" Manav filled the paper and asked.
"Today, any work uniform?" Rio answered and asked back.
"You can change their, here, pull the lever down there, before changing clothes." Manav pointed to deep part of shop where he made a small room for chests with a plate hanging on the wall named storage room.
"Are there hidden cameras?" Rio asked while walking to the small storage room.
"Who puts a camera in storage room, and I'm not a pervert, If I am interested I will first show money and than ask." Manav replied with sadness on his face that even people who met just now don't believe him, joking.
Rio entered storage room and saw a wooden chest inside, she didn't touched it and pulled the lever down installed on wall and iron door closed.
She started changing her clothes and came out in few minutes after pulling the lever up.
"Quite a mechanism, everything matches to that big name on signboard, I have taken liking to the design of the shop." Rio praised.
"Thanks for the praise." Manav said.
"Can I take this hoodie permanently." Rio asked pointing to hoodie she was wearing.

"Oh you can buy only after working here for one month." Manav replied.
"Okay tell me what I have to do?" Rio asked.
"Just wait, when customers arrive introduce them with products here, here is the manual." Manav answered handing her a manual.
Rio took the manual and sat on cushion near counter and started reading it.
After half an hour.
*Ring ring ring
"Welcome guest, we provide you the best of the products in th..." Rio immediately stood and welcomed the customer, when she saw a man clad in spider suit she was surprised and shocked, stopping her speech.
"Oh sorry folks, spider man here for buying things, you know spider man also have a normal life, so I want to buy the products here, I want to gift them to my aunt." Spider man said pointing to groceries in his hands.
"Oh welcome spider man, what rare sight seeing spider man buying groceries*click so tell me what you want to buy, we will deliver them to your house, don't worry secrecy of our shop is the bestest in the world, you can check the products here first, Rio! Introduce our first customer with the products here." Manav stood up and welcomed spider man taking a picture using his mobile and patting Rio in back lightly.
"Oh oh why not, spider man follow me and look at products here." Rio woke up from daze and started explaining products to spider man with admiration on her face.
"So looks like this is the version of Tom Holland and just started a month ago, ha so you think I am fool when you try to make your voice heavy." Manav thought to himself and laughed slightly at spider man and his clumsiness.
"Why do I think that boss there is laughing at me." Spider man thought to himself looking at products introduced by Rio.
"This is our block bed, softest in the world, this is lantern can work for a month, and for charging it you have to come back to shop, this is glass black normal version and this glass blocks version of spider family, the founder of this shop was fan of spider man so he made the spider figurine glass blocks, this is spyglass can increase your vision to far away, one of the best replacement for portable telescope or binoculars, and children can use it and play when playing pirate games, this is..." Rio was introducing spider man with excitement.
After half an hour.
"Uh I think I will take that lantern, you know I am not a rich guy." Spider man said pointing to lantern.
"Oh okay, I will pack it for you, normal packaging or gift packaging." Rio picked up lantern and asked Spider man before started packing it.
"Gift one, what is the price?" Spider man asked after answering.
"You can go to counter for payment." Rio answered pointing to counter while packing the lantern.
Spider man turned and walked to counter.
"Lantern is for 45 dollars after first customer discount." Manav said to Spider man.
"Okay here." Spider man said raising his hand and taking out money from his hoodie pocket.

"Oh by the way spider man, we have mysterygift for our first customer, so tell me your address." Manav said taking the money from spider man.
"Uh no need, you can give it another customer who will come after me." Spider man said refusing and waiving his hands in denial.
Manav took out a paper and wrote something on it and signed in left side of paper and pushed it in front of spider man.
After reading it, spider man pushed it back.
"This is not good little Spidey, if I break my first rule than my shop will never be successful, so you must sign on it and tell me the address, if address leaked from me, I will give you my life with my own hands." Manav said in very low voice enough for spider man to hear.
"Okay." Spider man nodded.
