"Are you going to start a business?" Luck's mother spoke condescendingly.
"We have a few things in mind, I'll tell you when we decide." Luck was telling lie after lie.
"Tell me what you have in mind."
"The first is an internet cafe... The second is..."
"What's the second one?"
"The restaurant! Maybe both at the same time!"
His mother seemed to hear something funny "If you're going to lie, lie properly hahaha,"
"I don't think you'll do anything bad, but don't get into gambling shit." Luck's mother laughed and went back to her room.
...
Luck's room
Luck was lying on his bed, staring thoughtfully at the ceiling.
The lie he had told his mother about starting a business seemed to have lit a light bulb in his head.
'Maybe I should start a business, somehow I can sell the things I brought from the other world here, right?'
The business that came to her mind was jewelry, after all, she could melt down the gold from Gliese and sell it here somehow.
'but how will I explain to my mother? She knows I have no experience in jewelry. She will question me to death...'
Then an idea came to him...
'Why do I have to tell my mother? As long as I start another business where I can explain the money I earn, she doesn't need to know about my jewelry store...'
Luck grabbed his phone and texted someone.
-Hey, are you asleep? -
He didn't have to wait long for a reply.
-"Hey man, you shouldn't text a guy like that in the middle of the night.
Luck's eyes flickered when he saw Zack's text.
- I need your help.-
-At this time of night? You're scaring me.-
-I want to start a business, can you help me? -
This time the message from Zack came a little later.
-You want to start a business? -What business?-
-An internet cafe and a jewelry store-
Zack was texting with Luck on his phone and when he saw the incoming message, his thoughts started to swirl in his head.
"A jewelry store? What's on your mind Luck?"
-Let's talk tomorrow-
The next day
After seeing his mother off as usual, he went to Luck Gliese and started selling again.
He sold salt, sugar, cola, fanta, popcake, coffee, and more, and pocketed the gold.
His business became more and more famous, drawing people from surrounding towns and cities to the town of Victory.
Two other people benefited from Luck's fame.
Horace and Halt
Horace was making big profits selling food and drinks, while Halt was making money selling the never-before-seen clothes Luck had brought to the nobility and the rich.
Meanwhile, Halt was sitting across from his wife, who was also his secretary, drinking cold Coke and eating.
Raising a glass of Coke in his hand, Halt said, "Here's to you, my love! We couldn't have won so much without you!"
"No, my dear, our success is based on your first trade with Luck..."
Halt, who rarely heard compliments from his wife, was amused "That may be so, but we wouldn't have won so much without you, my love! You're the one who found a loophole in our deal with Luck!"
Yes, Halt and his wife found and exploited a loophole in the deal that Luck thought was unbreakable.
Halt's deal with Luck was to give Luck 70% of the profits from the goods he sold, but there was a very small but important loophole in the deal.
If Halt didn't have accurate information about his profits, he wouldn't know he was guilty and therefore the deal would remain intact.
As soon as Halt's wife realized this loophole, she refused to let Halt make the sales deals and made all the sales herself, giving Halt as much information as she saw fit.
A/N: If Halt's wife makes a sale for 200 gold coins, normally 140 gold coins should be given to Luck, but if Halt knows that his wife only made a sale for 100 gold coins, he pays Luck 70 gold coins.
...
Looking sadly at the people leaving when he realized his stall was empty, Luck didn't want to miss out on potential customers.
"Come back tomorrow! I will bring you more goods!"
His effort seemed to get people's attention.
"Will there be more of this stuff or will you bring other new stuff?"
"Yes, will there be other new goods?"
...
Luck was surprised to hear similar voices among the people. He had never thought to bring anything new as he was always running out of the goods he sold, but it seemed that people were hungry for new goods.
Thinking about the food he had packed in his bag, Luck hesitated.
'If I bring out the hamburger now, I'll have to eat in a restaurant here...'
Senna, who had just bought a Coke from Luck's stall, noticed Luck's indecisive glance at his bag.
"What's in your bag? Take it out and show us!"
"Huh?" Luck suddenly heard someone yelling at him and pulled his bag to his chest.
But his actions proved that Senna's suspicion was correct and attracted everyone else's attention.
"Hey, show me what's in your bag! We'll pay you whatever it costs!"
"Yes, show us!"
...
Overwhelmed by people's pressure, Luck said, "There's only one! Just for me! Not enough for you!"
That fired people up even more.
"We'll share! Show us!"
"Yes! We'll share a little at a time, like in front!"
From his bag Luck took out the burger with fries and fried onion rings, ketchup, and mayonnaise.
"I told you I don't have enough, but I can bring some tomorrow..."
People around looked around in disappointment at the meager amount of food. There wasn't enough food for everyone to eat.
But Senna walked determinedly towards the hamburger with a sword in her hand.
"Hey, what are you doing..." Luck was frightened by Senna's determined look, especially by the sword in her hand.
"Smells good..." Senna was talking to herself and when she came to the hamburger she raised her sword.
Luck screamed and ran away from the hamburger when he saw Senna raising his sword.
Everything happened in an instant.
Senna swung her sword repeatedly at the hamburger and the fries.
At first, it seemed like nothing happened, but when Senna sheathed her sword, the hamburger and fries were shattered into pieces.
Senna took a piece of the hamburger and fries and looked at Luck.
"What are those little things?" his gaze fell on two small white plastic boxes.
The two things he pointed to were ketchup and mayonnaise.
Luck swallowed and opened the top of the mayonnaise and ketchup "Dip the fries in it and eat."
Senna did as Luck said and dipped the fries in the ketchup and mayonnaise and popped them in her mouth.
Those who had been watching Senna and Luck all this time could not wait any longer when they saw the shock and pleasure in Senna's eyes.
"I want some!"
"Get out of the way, you fatty!"
"Damn it, it's almost over!"
