As the days passed, another month came to an end, and Luck, who had once again received his monthly dividend from Horace and Halt, now had more than 2,000 gold coins in his pocket.
'I've only been here two months and I'm already rich in Gliese!" he thought happily.
Luck, who refrained from selling the gold he earned for fear of drawing unnecessary attention to himself in the world, continued to buy Star Monster meat with the gold he earned, mixing it with normal beef in the world and making hamburger patties.
The main reason why the Monster Hamburger shop took longer to open than he expected was that Albert, to whom he had delegated all the authority, was busy redecorating the shop almost from top to bottom.
According to Luck, the tables and kitchen were more than adequate, but Albert insisted on remodeling.
Albert annoyed Luck every day by coming up with different design ideas for different menus inspired by the name Monster Burger.
Firstly, he decided on a Cyclops eating a hamburger as the logo of the shop.
Then the door leading to the kitchen and its surroundings were depicted as a dragon blowing fire into the kitchen.
On the tables, various mythological monsters could be seen eating hamburgers.
He even made special packaging designs for each menu!
At Luck's suggestion, the Flame Horned Rhino menu... Lava Lizard menu... Wild Chicken menu... and many other menu-specific creatures with different names were even designed!
It made perfect sense to Luck to name the hamburger menus according to the meat of the monsters he bought from Gliese.
Using the unlimited freedom that Albert Luck had given him, he had created a unique hamburger shop, so much so that people passing by the shop were already looking at the shop and murmuring with curiosity as they saw the huge emblem with the cyclops eating a hamburger.
...
When the opening day came, a surprise greeted Luck in front of Monster Burger.
In front of the shop, a large crowd was waiting in line to take a photo in front of the monster models.
Luck, who could not believe his eyes, showed the monster models eating hamburgers and asked,
"Albert, what are these?"
Albert proudly patted his chest and said, "It is usual for a first-time shop to organize events to attract customers."
Albert pointed to the people who were talking animatedly about the photo they had just taken and said,
"The photos they took here will be posted on PhotoShare with the tag Monster Burger."
A/N: PhotoShare is a famous photo-sharing application.
Luck seemed to understand what Albert was thinking.
"Not only did you attract customers to the shop, all these people promoted Monster Burger on social media..."
"Boss, you're so smart! You saw right through me!" Albert took the first opportunity to butter Luck up.
"His business acumen is really amazing... I would never have thought of such a thing," Luck thought, secretly admiring Albert.
While Luck was in his thoughts, Albert approached Luck with a pair of scissors.
"Boss cut the ribbon, and let's open the Monster Burger!"
....
A Mansion in Victory Town
The nobleman was examining an item in his hand.
Sam the manager stood in awe of the man in front of him.
He had done everything he could to get the recipe for the hamburger since Luck had refused his offer.
When he bribed the staff, all they would say was that Luck had brought all the ingredients, they knew nothing about anything except the cooking process.
One night when he snuck into the shop one night and looked around, he found a clean kitchen, but there was almost nothing in the cupboards except mayonnaise and ketchup.
When he found out that Luck bought meat from the butcher, he thought he had found the source he was looking for, but when he realized that the meat sold by the butcher was very ordinary, he was again left empty-handed.
Finally, to his surprise, he realized something. Luck was somehow bringing hamburger ingredients to the shop every morning!
"I've been waiting a month for a result from you." The nobleman's cold voice made Sam shiver.
"My lord... I have no recipe." His voice trembled with fear.
Crack!
The item in the man's hand shattered into pieces.
The man looked at the shattered item in his hand and calmly said, "A 3-star artifact... what a shame."
Sam stood there in shock. Although his lord's voice sounded very calm, the artifact he smashed in his hand showed his anger.
'An artifact worth at least 300 gold pieces has been destroyed, I'm finished!' he thought.
The nobleman turned his gaze to Sam and said, "You said our profits were down by 70 percent, how much gold is the daily profit of the hamburger shop?"
Sam said in a trembling voice, "We estimate between 20-30 gold pieces..."
"If they sell hamburgers for 5 silvers and make a profit of 20-30 gold coins a day, that means they make 600 sales."
Sam waited, not knowing what to say.
The nobleman said in a voice dripping with blood, "Get the recipe no matter what. I may have a chance to earn a place in the Star family."
"As you commanded, Lord Aden." Sam turned and walked away.
The nobleman's name was Aden Star. He was an illegitimate child, but his father had taken him into his family name when his father couldn't have a son, but then things changed. When his father had a son by his third wife, Aden was banished to the remote border Victory town.
...
Meanwhile, Luck, who was aware of what would happen to him soon, was trying to catch up with the orders at Monster Burger.
Looking at the order number in his hand, Luck shouted "Number 351! It's your turn!"
Soon a young man came with a paper with the number written on it and walked away with his tray full of food.
Luck looked around at the people around him and could see the delighted expressions on the faces of his customers.
Albert came excitedly to Luck's side
"Boss! Look!" Albert pointed to Luck in his hand.
The screen on the phone showed a woman posing with a hamburger in front of a model of a monster eating a hamburger outside the shop.
The caption under the photo was as follows.
-A place where you can take beautiful photos and at the same time awaken the food monster in you! Monster Hamburger! Try it! #MonsterBurger!
Luck had witnessed people taking and posting photos on social media apps, but he couldn't help but be happy when he saw a post praising his shop.
Seeing the smile on Luck's face, Albert continued "Boss, this is beyond my expectations!"
Luck looked at Albert in confusion "What's beyond your expectations? Didn't you want people to share the Monster Burger on social media?"
Albert excitedly nodded his head in agreement "Yes! But this woman is a very famous social media phenomenon!"
Luck didn't expect a celebrity to come into his shop "What's a famous social media influencer doing here?
Albert pointed to the monster models outside and said, "She must be interested in monster models! But look at this!"
Albert showed his phone again, but this time he pointed his finger to the number of views the photo had received!
568 thousand!
Luck blurted out "f*ck."
Seeing Luck's expression, Albert clutched his stomach and started laughing.
"The boss got 568 thousand views in just a few hours! Hahahah. What do you think by the end of the day?"
Luck asked in surprise "Will it reach 1 million?"
"One million? Hahahah Let's say a few million! I can't imagine the number of people who will come here tomorrow!"
