For the next two days, Sarah contracted the new employees and advertised the new recipes of the shop to the regular customers.
Karen was a 16-year-old girl working a part-time summer job in a grocery shop. Every day, she woke up early to go to work. And lately, on the way to the grocery shop, she stopped in a coffee shop that was beautifully decorated and had some decent drinks.
As she entered the coffee shop today, she was greeted as usual by the pretty decorations and the low sound of background music.
She went to line up at the counter that had a couple of people before her.
When it was her time, she was greeted by the barista as usual.
"Good morning, how can I assist you?" the barista said with a smile.
"I want one espresso and a cookie, please," Karen said.
"It will be ready in a minute. Today, we are introducing two new recipes, and buying anything in the shop grants you a free order of any new recipes. But it only works the first time. You can choose which one to look at on the menu," the barista said enthusiastically.
Karen was somewhat surprised but complied because it was free, and free stuff was great. She looked at the menu, thought for a while, and chose a hot milk tea.
After getting her order, Karen left the shop while drinking her espresso and eating her cookie.
After finishing it, she looked at the hot milk tea and took a mouthful, and she immediately froze as she felt what was one of the best drinks of her life.
She drank the milk tea rapidly, and when it was over, she looked bewildered, and all she could think over her shift in the grocery shop was coming to the coffee shop to get another milk tea.
Scenes like these kept happening with the customers of the shop, and on the first day of the release of the new recipes, the Sky-fall Coffee Shop had a profit of $700 even with all the free stuff that they gave.
Alex knew that from tomorrow onwards, it would be a new chapter for his new shop.
As Alex looked at the profit of the day, he also saw the accounting of the profit of the month because it was already a month since the shop opened, and according to Sarah, they profited more than $10,000, even with salaries and bills to pay. It was amazing.
Compared to the shop one month ago, they had a huge makeover.
"I bet the previous owner is having some anger problems knowing about our success," Alex laughed inwardly.
Alex had more than enough money to open a new branch but he wanted to make the shop more famous before opening a branch.
But he already asked Sarah to start searching for places to open the branch and study the surroundings.
"System, status," Alex said in his mind.

"My vitality increased with all the exercises and food I take every day. My charm also increased. I think eating healthier and exercising contributed to that. And in a few more days, I can level up my Culinary Arts skill before completing the mission," Alex thought.
For the next few days, the Sky-fall Coffee Shop became famous around the city. Every time you looked inside the shop, it had lines of people enjoying and waiting for their drinks or food.
And after only 3 days of introducing the new recipes, Alex had already completed his first mission of tripling his profit.

Alex was excited as he was in his bedroom lying down while receiving the influx of information that came with the skill level-up.
He didn't even react anymore to the money he received from the system, only focusing on the other traits. Especially the lucky draw. If it was what he was thinking, it would be awesome.
"System, what's this Lucky Draw?" Alex said in his mind.
[The Lucky Draw is a system tool that the host through luck can gain skills, knowledge, or items.]
"Oh my god! That's so incredible," he exclaimed.
"System, I wish to use my Lucky Draw opportunity," Alex said in his mind avidly.
[Opening Lucky Draw Roulette…]
Alex saw a roulette with thousands of things written on it as it started to spin.
Around 1 minute later, it stopped spinning.
