A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
862 Er⦠I Donât Need One With a Huge Chest, I Prefer Flat-chested Ones
âSystem, you said that after reaching level four, I can expand the restaurant for free; what does this expansion entail? Also, how much money is required for me to upgrade to level four?â
âAfter being upgraded to level four, the system will help you expand the restaurant from an 18-table capacity to a 36-table capacity, which means youâll be able to serve a maximum of 144 customers at once. The area of the kitchen will also be expanded by twofold. Upgrading to level four only requires 50,000,000 spending points; you currently have 5,521,250 spending points, so youâre missing 44,478,750 spending points,â the system replied with a smile in its voice.
âWhat kind of restaurant require 50,000,000 to construct?â Mag raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Even though spending points werenât the same as real money, he was still quite displeased to hear this.
Of course, his displeasure simply stemmed from his poverty.
At present, the restaurant earned him around 1,000,000 copper coins of pure profit per day. Even so, heâd still only been able to save up around 50,000,000, so the system was clearly planning to completely rob him clean in one go.
âStrength, how much does a strength point cost now?â Mag asked.
âAt present, one strength point costs 25,000,000, and the next one will cost 40,000,000 copper coins,â the system replied in an enthusiastic manner.
Mag raised an eyebrow before demanding, âSell me the two strength points for 50,000,000 and waive the construction fee for the restaurant expansion as well. If you donât like that price, Iâll just construct everything myself.â
âDo you know how much effort and resources are expended to calculate the amount of energy and angle of each lightning strike? On top of that, each successive strength point requires several times the expenditure of the previous strength point; the price Iâm offering you is already the cost price, yet youâre still trying to barter with me! Do you not have conscience?!â the system wailed in an indignant manner.
âSo you are selling or not?â Mag rolled his eyes in a nonchalant manner.
âNo way!â the system replied in a firm voice.
âAlright then, looks like Iâll have to find a construction team first. Itâs going to be a little slow, but it shouldnât coast me all that much,â Mag murmured to himself before suddenly noticing a carpenterâs workshop nearby, so he began to ride his bicycle toward it.
âDonât do that! Everything is negotiable! If you look for someone else, they wonât be able to do anywhere near as good a job as the system can, and theyâll take far longer to do it as well. On top of that, their materials canât compare with the materials used by the system. Who else in Chaos City is going to get you wood from a 1000-year-old tree in the Wind Forest? If thereâs a mismatch in the construction style, the restaurant will look hideous!â The system hurriedly tried to dissuade Mag from hiring alternative labor.
âThatâs alright, I can just get rid of all of the existing tables and chairs, then make sure that the new batch is all completely uniform,â Mag said as a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
âCan you add a bit more to the price?â the system asked in a feeble voice.
âAlright, considering itâs indeed true that you do use good materials, Iâll throw in an extra 100 copper coins,â Mag said as he parked his bicycle in front of the carpenterâs workshop, and then threatened, âIf you donât agree to that, Iâm going in right away.â
âDeal!â the system spat through gritted teeth.
âGood.â Mag smile widened as he turned around and rode his bicycle onward.
50,000,000 copper coins was quite a hefty amount for him, but if that could allow him to attain the body of a 6th-tier knight, then it was well worth the price.
On top of that, it was also very important for him to upgrade the restaurant so he could earn money more quickly. Only through earning more money could he purchase more strength points.
It would take a long time before he could begin to profit from the steam engine, and Gloriaâs clothing shop was only in its infancy. As such, the restaurant was currently his main source of income, and the ice cream shop was also an important addition to that.
After parking his bicycle outside Find All Job-finding Service, Mag slowly walked into the building.
Crease was just in the process of speaking to his employees when he suddenly looked up and caught sight of Mag. He murmured to himself, âWhy is he here?â
However, he still sent his employees away, and then put on a warm smile as he greeted, âWelcome, Boss Mag; are you here to hire another server?â
Mag had visited him on two previous occasions, but stood him up and found waitresses elsewhere on both instances, thereby completely wasting his time. As such, he didnât really want to deal with Mag.
âThatâs right, Boss Crease; I want to hire another waitress, one thatâs beautiful, quick on her feet, clever, and doesnât demand high wages. Do you have anyone like that?â Mag asked with a smile.
âIf I found someone like that, Iâd keep them for myself.â Crease rolled his eyes in response. If it werenât for the fact Mamy Restaurant was currently extremely popular in the Aden Square, he wouldâve definitely thought that Mag had come here to prank him.
How could anyone possibly satisfy all of those criteria?
Mag wasnât irked by his response, and he continued, âI heard that many elves have come to Chaos City recently; the city lordâs castle will be helping them with employment options, right?â
âDo you want to hire an elf, Boss Mag?â Crease asked with furrowed brows. Their job-finding service did indeed receive an invitation from the city lordâs castle recently.
âThatâs right. I can pay you twice the normal fee, but I have some requirements that must be satisfied,â Mag replied as he nodded with a smile.
Creaseâs eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this, and he hurriedly prompted, âGo ahead and state your requirements, Boss Mag; Iâll go to the city lordâs castle to source some candidates for you right away.â
Mag thought about it for a moment before replying, âI want a waitress thatâs around 15 to 16 years old, and quite good looking. Er⦠I donât need one with a huge chest, I prefer flat-chested ones⦠Aside from that, I want someone whoâs more docile and isnât too rowdy. Thatâll be all. As for wages, I can offer 1,500 copper coins per month, and aside from undertaking waitress duties, she also has to babysit for me from time to time.â
âHaha, I get it. You want someone docile and obedient, eh? I didnât think you were grooming girls from a young age, Boss Mag,â Crease said with a knowing smile.
âI donât understand what youâre saying, Boss Crease; all I want is to hire a good server.â Mag shrugged in a resigned manner. He was only doing his best to give a description of Firisâ traits.
Crease pulled a contract out of a nearby drawer, and then scribbled something on it before handing it over to Mag. âPlease sign here, Boss. Also, we recently introduced a new rule, which requires 10% of the fee to be issued in advance. If youâre willing to pay double the normal fee, then 10% of that will be a deposit of 300 copper coins. Weâll recommend candidates to you until you find one youâre happy with.â
âAlright, I hope to hear back from you as soon as possible, Boss Crease.â Mag quickly signed the contract before handing over the deposit.
âIâll go to the city lordâs castle right away. Iâll definitely find one that youâll like, and then take her to you in person for inspection.â Crease put away the contract and the deposit before accompanying Mag out the door with a wide smile on his face.
After Magâs departure, Crease immediately got onto a horse-drawn carriage with one of his employees, and the two of them headed straight to the city lordâs castle.
