"System, you said that after upgrading to lv4, I can expand the restaurant for free. How much can I expand it to? Also, how much does it cost to upgrade to lv4? "Meg asked in his mind as he rode his bicycle.
"After upgrading the restaurant to lv4, the System will help the host expand the seating area from 18 tables to 36 tables, which can accommodate 144 guests at the same time. The size of the kitchen will also be doubled. Upgrading to lv4 only requires 50,000,000 Expense Points. The host already has 5,521,250 Expense Points, so you still need to spend 44478750 copper coins. "The System's voice was filled with laughter.
"Who needs to spend 50,000,000 to build a restaurant?!" Meg raised his eyebrows. Although the Expense Points were not directly paid, he still felt an inexplicable sense of displeasure.
Of course, the source of this displeasure was still poverty.
Currently, the restaurant could only bring him about 1,000,000 copper coins in net profit per day. Even so, he had only saved up about 50,000,000 copper coins in the past three months. The System was prepared to empty him out in one go.
"System, how much does one Strength Point cost?" Meg continued to ask.
"Currently, one Strength Point costs 25,000,000 gold coins. The next one costs 40,000,000 gold coins." The System's smile grew even wider.
Meg raised his eyebrows again, then said somewhat shamelessly, "50,000,000 gold coins, two Strength Points, and all the costs of the expansion and renovation of the restaurant will be covered. Do you want to sell or not? If you don't want to sell, forget it. I'll build it myself."
"Host, do you know how much manpower and financial resources are required to mobilize lightning and calculate the energy and angle? Moreover, every time a Strength Point is upgraded, the cost is multiplied. I'm already paying the cost price, and you … you actually want to bargain?! Don't you have a conscience! "The system said with a pained expression.
Mag rolled his eyes nonchalantly, and said, "It's up to you to sell it or not."
"Resolutely not selling!" The System said firmly.
"Alright then. Looks like I'll have to find a renovation team first. Although it's a little slow, it shouldn't cost much." Meg muttered and began to look around. Suddenly, he saw a carpenter's shop not far away. He rode his bicycle in that direction.
"Don't! We're business partners, so can't we negotiate? If you find someone else, how can they compare to me in terms of speed and quality? The materials used are also incomparable. Tell me, who in Chaos City can get you thousand-year-old wood from The Wind Forest? If the decoration style is not uniform, how ugly will the restaurant be? "The system suddenly became a little anxious.
"It doesn't matter. I can remove all those tables and replace them with one. Isn't that simple?" Meg's lips curled into a smile.
"Do you want to add a little more?" the system asked weakly.
"Alright, since the materials you used are quite honest, I'll add another 100 copper coins." Meg stopped the car in front of the carpenter's shop. "If you still don't agree, I'm going in."
"Deal!" The system gritted its teeth.
"Very good." The smile on Meg's face grew wider. He turned the bicycle around and continued to ride forward.
50,000,000 gold coins was a little painful, but two strength points could restore his power to the 6th-tier, which was very important to him.
Furthermore, upgrading the restaurant was also very important to increase the restaurant's turnover. Only by earning more money could he redeem his strength points faster.
It would take a long time for the steam engine to become a profitable business, and Gloria's clothing shop had only just started. The restaurant was the fastest way for him to earn money, and the ice cream shop had also become an important source of income.
The bicycle stopped in front of the Broad Employment Agency, and Meg slowly made his way in.
Crease was in the middle of educating his employees when he saw Meg. He couldn't help but murmur, "Why is he here again?" However, he still raised a hand to signal for the employee to continue with his work. He then walked over with a smile on his face. "Mr. Mak, you're here again. Are you looking for waiters again?"
Meg had come twice in the past, but had stood him up on both occasions. He had found a few waiters and wasted his time, so Crease wasn't very willing to serve him.
"Yes, Mr. Crease. I'm here to hire a waitress. I want someone who's beautiful, smart, obedient, and doesn't ask for a salary. Do you have someone like that?" Meg looked at Crease with a smile.
"If I had someone like that, I would've hired her myself." Crease rolled his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that he knew that Meg's Mamy's was one of the most popular restaurants in the Aden Square, he would definitely think that this guy was here to cause trouble.
He wanted someone who was beautiful, capable, and cheap; wasn't he here to cause trouble?
Meg wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled, and said, "I heard that many elves have come to Chaos City recently. The city lord's castle won't assign them jobs, right?"
"Mr. Mak, you want to hire an elf?" Crease's brows furrowed. Their agency had indeed received invitations from the city lord's castle recently.
"That's right. I can give you double the commission, but I have some conditions." Meg nodded with a smile.
Crease's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this, and he hurriedly said, "Please tell me, Mr. Mak; I'll go to the city lord's castle to find someone for you."
Meg deliberated for a moment before replying, "I like someone who's around 15 or 16 years old. She has to be prettier, and … not too big-breasted. I like someone who's flat-chested … Also, she doesn't look too rowdy, and has to be well-behaved. That's about it. She'll be paid 1,500 copper coins a month, and aside from being a waitress, she'll also have to take care of my children from time to time. "
"Haha, I know, I know. A well-behaved girl is easy to teach. I didn't think that Mr. Mak would like to raise a child himself." A knowing smile appeared on Crease's face.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Crease? I don't understand. I'm just looking for a good waitress. " Meg shrugged in a resigned manner. He was only trying his best to describe the girl's physical characteristics.
Crease pulled out a contract from a nearby drawer, and wrote something on it before handing it over to Meg. "Here, Mr. Mak, please sign here. Our agency has recently changed its rules. You have to pay 10% of the commission in advance. If you want double the commission, we'll charge you 300 copper coins until you're satisfied."
"Alright, I hope you can give me good news as soon as possible, Mr. Crease." Meg signed the contract and handed over the money.
"I'll go to the city lord's castle right now, and I'll definitely find someone you're satisfied with. I'll bring her to your door for you to take a look." Crease put away the contract and deposit with a smile on his face, and walked Meg out.
