You're off the hook!

"Boss...are you thinking of selling doner kebab?"

Luck had prepared his answer by anticipating that Albert would ask him such a question.

"Yes, we only sell hamburgers here, I thought we could make more profit if we increase the variety of things we sell!"

Listening to Luck's answer, Albert's face became distinctly grim.

Noticing Albert's strange expression, Luck said, "Is there a problem?"

"Boss, I called you several times to give you a presentation today."

"huh yeah, sorry I didn't answer because I was busy, what did you want to present to me?"

"This shop is no longer enough, we can't even keep up with the customers for hamburger sales, let alone burrito sales!"

"We can't keep up with the customers?" Luck said with a look of obvious shock on his face.

"Yeah boss, come and have a look."

Albert pulled aside the window curtains in his room and looked out with a sigh.

There was a queue of people waiting to get into the Monster Burger.

Luck looked at the queue of people and said, "What's the big deal, they're just waiting in line for a bit?"

Albert laughed sarcastically at Luck's comment.

"Waiting? Boss, look a little more."

Looking out of the window once more, Luck saw the same thing.

A lot of people were waiting patiently to enter his shop and order a hamburger.

But after a while Luck's facial expression began to darken.

A group of people he saw waiting in the queue got bored and left the queue after a while, and even though they were replaced by new people in the queue, he started to notice more and more people leaving the queue like those people.

"These people... they just leave the queue they are waiting in? Why?"

When Albert realised that Luck had noticed what he wanted him to pay attention to, he began to explain.

"Although people can stand to wait in a queue for what they want, there is a limit, people who are hungry will of course go to other food shops nearby to satisfy their hunger after waiting for a while..."

"Is the queue moving too slowly? Should we hire more employees?"

When Albert heard Luck's question, Luck's mother came to mind.

His son is just like his mum!

"Boss, there is a limit to this shop, whether you hire a hundred or a thousand people, you cannot increase the number of people the shop can serve in a day."

Luck, who was watching each potential customer leaving the queue with troubled eyes, said, "What are we going to do then, Albert?"

Pointing with his hand to another customer leaving the queue, Luck said, "Look, another customer is just walking away! We're losing money!"

"We can always make money, Boss! We have a more important loss!"

Luck looked at Albert with puzzled eyes.

"We have a more important loss than money?"

Albert nodded.

"Yes boss, our main loss is reputation! Do you think all those people who queue for food and have to leave the queue before they can eat will speak well of us?"

Luck said hesitantly, "I don't think so. But our hamburger is delicious! Isn't that the important thing?"

"Boss, you know what they say...throw mud and leave a trace! Once a rumour spreads that people have to wait for hours to get a hamburger, we can't stop it, people will give up before they even get here!"

Luck's expression darkened as he listened to Albert's explanation.

I'll never let that happen!

For Luck, there was no marginal benefit to the money he could make by selling a few more burgers!

With a few kilos of gold from Gliese, he could have made much more money than he would have made from the monster burger!

But involuntarily a fire of ambition flared up inside Luck.

He didn't want the first shop he set up on his own to fall into a bad situation!

"Albert, if this problem is what you want to report to me, you must have a solution to it, right?"

"Yes boss, if one shop is not enough, how about opening a second shop? If two shops are not enough, how about a third shop where people can go!"

Luck smacked his leg in realisation, "That'll be easier! I can open a shop!"

Realising that Luck was warming to the idea of opening another shop, Albert was excited.

"I could be the manager of another shop while I look after this one for Mrs Arya! 

"Albert!"

"Yes, boss!"

"Get me a list of suitable shops as soon as possible! We're going to open shops."

Albert paused as he reached for another document on his desk.

"I already have a list of suitable shops, boss...shops?"

Luck held up two fingers.

"We're going to open two shops, a dürüm place and a burger joint!"

Albert froze in his tracks.

Boss, aren't you exaggerating? I suggested one shop and you want to open two?

"Albert, go ahead! We also need to hire taco masters! There's no time to waste!"

Albert, who came to his senses when Luck pushed him, mumbled, not knowing what to say, and found himself outside when he came out of the shop in a daze.

...

Gliese

Bam bam bam bam!

Gunshots echoed throughout the forest as the poor monsters with low star power fled, not knowing where to hide.

"Captain! I killed another star monster!"

As Daniel patrolled around, he heard another man's voice announcing that he had killed a star monster.

How many times has this happened? I can't even count anymore...

Although the population of star beasts had dropped dramatically after the incessant gunfire echoed through the forest for the last two days, there was still not a single awakening.

Amidst the gunfire, Daniel was thoughtful.

Did that guy Brain really have a special physique?

If Brain's awakening wasn't related to these weapons, then all these bullets were wasted!

"Captain! I killed another star beast!"

Daniel was pleasantly surprised when the man who had just announced that he had killed a star beast called out again.

"Well, that was quick."

Taking slow steps in the direction of the man's voice, Daniel heard the sound of the gun firing again.

Bam bam bam bam bam bam!

As the man shouted again that he had killed the star beast, he was interrupted in surprise.

"Captain! Another one ... huh?

Daniel's eyes widened in shock as he emerged from behind a tree to see the man, still smoking from the barrel of his gun, shouting and interrupting his report.

He had felt the stellar shock emanating from the man as he awakened his star power!

Not even realising he had opened his mouth, Daniel shouted in shock.

"It's real!"

Realising that he had shouted involuntarily, Daniel quickly closed his mouth, but his brain continued to work at full speed!

They are awakening thanks to these firearms!

Having witnessed the events with his own eyes, Daniel no longer had a single doubt in his mind.

Brain, you lucky bloke! You got away with it!
