Chapter 1523 - : If Erguotou Is Available Too

Chapter 1523: If Erguotou Is Available Too

"3-3000 square meters?"

Mag was also stunned to hear that, and then he suddenly understood the meaning of Borg's words.

Mamy Restaurant, including the designated hot pot area, was only about 500 square meters, while this property that the Gray Temple used as the apology gift was actually 3000 square meters big.

"Furthermore, it's situated right in Aden Square, about 300 meters to the left of our restaurant," Rena continued.

Mag did a rough calculation. This apology gift was worth more than 30,000,000.

Mag couldn't help chuckle. "The Gray Temple is really very generous." Apart from being astonished, he didn't have any jealousy and regrets.

"T-this is too valuable…" Rena finally regained her wits. The stack of title deeds in her hands felt like a hot potato. She couldn't wait to toss it away.

"No. You deserved that." Mag smiled at Rena. "Furthermore, with this commercial property, you don't have to look for a place to set up the hot pot restaurant anymore. If I remember correctly, a rather big restaurant has been undergoing renovation over there for a long time. It could be the hot pot restaurant that Bennett wanted you to be the manager of."

"But…" Rena was still feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Even if you decline and return it to the Gray Temple, it will end up in someone else's hands in a minute, so why don't you just accept it and just set up the new hot pot restaurant," Mag said to Rena solemnly. "Maybe you're not sure about the value of this property. Due to Mamy Restaurant, the commercial properties' prices in the northwestern corner of Aden Square have been shooting up. The price per square meter is already above 10,000 copper coins, which means that property's value is above 30,000,000 copper coins. Even if you don't want to operate a restaurant in the future, your mother and you could have a carefree life with the annual rental alone.

"30,000,000!"

Rena's eyes widened as she couldn't imagine what a huge number that was.

Furthermore, such a valuable commercial property was now hers?

Mag smilingly continued, "Of course, if you could open hot pot restaurants all over the Norland Continent, the 30,000,000 store would just be the beginning. The world beyond Chaos City is very huge."

"Mm-hmm." Rena looked at Mag as she solemnly kept the title deeds in her hands and nodded. "I will put it to good use."

"Let's go. Since we have nothing to do now, let's go and check out your new property." Mag put on his jacket and walked to the door.

Rena hugged the title deeds in the kraft paper envelope tightly in her arms, and quickly caught up with Mag.

The shop that Rena received was indeed very big. It had two stories. Apart from putting up the signboard, the renovation was basically completed. Marbles were inlaid on the walls, giving out an opulent glow.

However, it was in complete silence, and the workers seemed to have evacuated overnight. The door was ajar and unlocked.

"Let's go in to take a look." Mag straight away pushed open the door and went in.

The spacious hall was set up with many custom-made hot pot tables which were based on the Mamy Restaurant's hot pot tables. This made Mag suspect that this world also had measuring tapes.

The restaurant's interior renovation was basically completed, and only some building materials were left behind.

The resplendent decor style suited Bennett's style to a T. It should have been designed by the same designer as his teahouse. It stunk of the nouveau riche.

There were two rows of private rooms at the two sides apart from the spacious hall, and were even more opulently decorated.

If they counted by the numbers of seats alone, just the first floor alone could accommodate about 1,000 people at the same time.

"Is the kitchen on the second floor?" Mag walked one round on the first floor, and he couldn't find the kitchen. Hence, he went up to the second floor.

There weren't any private rooms on the second floor. It only had a 500-square-meter-big great hall which was also filled with custom-made hot pot tables.

Passing through the great hall, he came to a super huge kitchen that was about 1,000 square meters big.

The renovation was already completed. They only needed to install the kitchenware.

Mag walked one round, and then smiled at Rena whose mouth was agape the entire time till now. "It is a giant hot pot restaurant that is ready to open any time. This saved you quite a lot of trouble."

"I-it's huge. Can I really open such a huge hot pot restaurant?" Rena shrugged, but her gaze began to fill with anticipation.

"I think there will be no problem at all." Mag smiled. If this restaurant could run smoothly, even if they only charged 100 copper coins per customer, the daily sales could match up with Mamy Restaurant's.

Rena stayed back in the restaurant to take note of the items that they needed to add or take away, while Mag returned to the restaurant first.

He decided to wash his hands completely from the new hot pot restaurant and be a good investor.

Bennett was never going to get out for the rest of his life. It could be considered that Mag had removed one menace from Chaos City.

As for how the Gray Temple handled their internal affairs, that wasn't his business. He believed Rolan wouldn't let the maggots survive in the Gray Temple.

What he needed to prepare now was the trip to the Twilight Forest tomorrow, and how he could complete the mission, and ensure everyone from the restaurant could get out of there safely.

The Falk Tribe was still the second-largest orc tribe. Even though their power had greatly diminished after going through an internal strife, they still had dozens of 10th-tier powerhouses and a group of 8th-tier and 9th-tier powerhouses.

Mag received the latest intel about the Falk Tribe and the orcs from the Gray Temple soon after he reached the restaurant. He also got a name and a rendezvous location.

"If you encounter an emergency at the Falk Tribe, you could go to the Stone Alley to look for Old Sim, the boss of Sim Tavern. He will provide you with assistance." Mag stared at that piece of paper for a while, and then he rubbed the paper between his fingers, and reduced it to dust.

"Ding! Old Sim, the boss of Sim Tavern in the Stone Alley, is the top master brewer of rum. The Host has triggered a hidden mission. Please ask Old Sim to take you as an apprentice, and learn how to brew rum.

"Mission reward: master the brewing techniques! You will receive three new alcoholic beverages' brewing techniques.

"Punishment for failing the mission: becoming allergic to alcohol!

"Mission time limit: complete it within three days!"

Just then, the system's voice rang in Mag's head.

"Learn to brew rum?" Mag was taken by surprise. This mission was rather interesting. After pondering, he asked, "System, am I able to choose the brewing methods of any alcohol beverages? Including Maotai and Erguotou?"

"Yes. You could choose any three from all the alcoholic beverages."

Mag cocked an eyebrow, and murmured to himself with a smile, "If Erguotou is available too, then I have a new idea."

***

Next morning, Mag hung a notice on the door. "Out to obtain ingredients. The restaurant will be closed for a few days."

Then, he brought everyone along from the restaurant, met up with the orcs who were sent to bring them to the Falk Tribe, and left on the flying steeds.
