862 Er… I Don“t Need One With a Huge Chest, I Prefer Flat-chested Ones

“System, 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?”

“After 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 you’ll 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 you’re missing 44,478,750 spending points,” the system replied with a smile in its voice.

“What kind of restaurant require 50,000,000 to construct?” Mag raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Even though spending points weren’t 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, he’d 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.

“Strength, how much does a strength point cost now?” Mag asked.

“At present, one strength point costs 25,000,000, and the next one will cost 40,000,000 copper coins,” the system replied in an enthusiastic manner.

Mag raised an eyebrow before demanding, “Sell me the two strength points for 50,000,000 and waive the construction fee for the restaurant expansion as well. If you don’t like that price, I’ll just construct everything myself.”

“Do 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 I’m offering you is already the cost price, yet you’re still trying to barter with me! Do you not have conscience?!” the system wailed in an indignant manner.

“So you are selling or not?” Mag rolled his eyes in a nonchalant manner.

“No way!” the system replied in a firm voice.

“Alright then, looks like I’ll have to find a construction team first. It’s going to be a little slow, but it shouldn’t coast me all that much,” Mag murmured to himself before suddenly noticing a carpenter’s workshop nearby, so he began to ride his bicycle toward it.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovelFɪre.net

“Don’t do that! Everything is negotiable! If you look for someone else, they won’t be able to do anywhere near as good a job as the system can, and they’ll take far longer to do it as well. On top of that, their materials can’t 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 there’s a mismatch in the construction style, the restaurant will look hideous!” The system hurriedly tried to dissuade Mag from hiring alternative labor.

“That’s 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,” Mag said as a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

“Can you add a bit more to the price?” the system asked in a feeble voice.

“Alright, considering it’s indeed true that you do use good materials, I’ll throw in an extra 100 copper coins,” Mag said as he parked his bicycle in front of the carpenter’s workshop, and then threatened, “If you don’t agree to that, I’m going in right away.”

“Deal!” the system spat through gritted teeth.

“Good.” 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 Gloria’s 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, “Why is he here?”

However, he still sent his employees away, and then put on a warm smile as he greeted, “Welcome, Boss Mag; are you here to hire another server?”

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 didn’t really want to deal with Mag.

“That’s right, Boss Crease; I want to hire another waitress, one that’s beautiful, quick on her feet, clever, and doesn’t demand high wages. Do you have anyone like that?” Mag asked with a smile.

“If I found someone like that, I’d keep them for myself.” Crease rolled his eyes in response. If it weren’t for the fact Mamy Restaurant was currently extremely popular in the Aden Square, he would’ve definitely thought that Mag had come here to prank him.

How could anyone possibly satisfy all of those criteria?

Mag wasn’t irked by his response, and he continued, “I heard that many elves have come to Chaos City recently; the city lord’s castle will be helping them with employment options, right?”

“Do you want to hire an elf, Boss Mag?” Crease asked with furrowed brows. Their job-finding service did indeed receive an invitation from the city lord’s castle recently.

“That’s right. I can pay you twice the normal fee, but I have some requirements that must be satisfied,” Mag replied as he nodded with a smile.

Crease’s eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this, and he hurriedly prompted, “Go ahead and state your requirements, Boss Mag; I’ll go to the city lord’s castle to source some candidates for you right away.”

Mag thought about it for a moment before replying, “I want a waitress that’s around 15 to 16 years old, and quite good looking. Er… I don’t need one with a huge chest, I prefer flat-chested ones… Aside from that, I want someone who’s more docile and isn’t too rowdy. That’ll 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.”

“Haha, I get it. You want someone docile and obedient, eh? I didn’t think you were grooming girls from a young age, Boss Mag,” Crease said with a knowing smile.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying, Boss Crease; all I want is to hire a good server.” Mag shrugged in a resigned manner. He was only doing his best to give a description of Firis’ traits.

Crease pulled a contract out of a nearby drawer, and then scribbled something on it before handing it over to Mag. “Please sign here, Boss. Also, we recently introduced a new rule, which requires 10% of the fee to be issued in advance. If you’re willing to pay double the normal fee, then 10% of that will be a deposit of 300 copper coins. We’ll recommend candidates to you until you find one you’re happy with.”

“Alright, I hope to hear back from you as soon as possible, Boss Crease.” Mag quickly signed the contract before handing over the deposit.

“I’ll go to the city lord’s castle right away. I’ll definitely find one that you’ll like, and then take her to you in person for inspection.” Crease put away the contract and the deposit before accompanying Mag out the door with a wide smile on his face.

After Mag’s departure, Crease immediately got onto a horse-drawn carriage with one of his employees, and the two of them headed straight to the city lord’s castle.
