Chapter 11.The next day, Noah tested the new feature at a luxury watch boutique. He picked out an $8,000 watch and paid for it.[Purchase: $8,000][Standard Reward: $800,000]A hundred times his spending. Exactly as expected.Before he could close the screen, another notification appeared.[Special Purchase Bonus.]An image of a black vintage car filled the display. Its sleek body and classic lines gave it a look modern cars rarely managed to capture.[Bonus Asset: 1967 Falcon GT.][Acquisition Method: Private Auction.]Noah zoomed in on the picture."Wait. I'm getting a car, too?"[Special rewards cannot be purchased directly.][Eligible purchases may trigger unique rewards.]He shook his head, amused. The system always seemed to have another surprise waiting for him.A few days later, a black Falcon GT was delivered to his garage.Noah spent some time looking it over. He didn't know much about classic cars, but he liked the way this one looked. The paint still gleamed, and the leat

Chapter 10Noah found Ethan in the kitchen, standing in front of a rail crowded with unfinished orders. The customer satisfaction score on his phone was still stuck at 89%. They had two hours left before the mission expired, and the number hadn't recovered."How many are we behind?" Noah asked.Ethan pointed toward the rack on his left. "Three tables have been waiting for over half an hour. Two other orders are almost ready, but if another server takes the wrong plate to the wrong table, I'm sending everyone home."Noah checked the tickets. Some had been sitting there since before Daniel fell ill. With Ethan covering an extra station, new orders had kept coming in until the backlog became unmanageable."Which ones can we get out first?"Ethan tapped two tickets. "Those. They just need the finishing sauce. After that, I have to get back to the Golden Roast.""Get those two out now. Tell the servers to double-check the table numbers before they take anything."Noah flagged down a passin

Chapter 9At eight that evening, Noah was reviewing the sales report when his phone buzzed with a system notification.[New Mission Available][Mission: Maintain 90% Customer Satisfaction for 7 Consecutive Days.][Reward: Level 3 Unlock.]Noah read the requirements twice before leaning back in his chair.Seven days at a customer satisfaction rate of at least ninety percent. Given how well Golden Plate had been doing lately, the target seemed reasonable enough."All right. Let's get started." He slipped his phone into his pocket and headed for the dining room.Dinner service was in full swing. Nearly every table was occupied, servers hurried between the kitchen and dining area, and conversations filled the restaurant. Noah made a round of the room, keeping an eye on the service without interrupting anyone's meal.A woman asked for extra sauce. A couple near the window complimented their dessert. At another table, a man asked whether Golden Plate accepted reservations for family gatheri

Chapter 8Victor Hale moved faster than Noah had expected.Two days after his visit to Golden Plate, a renovation crew showed up at the abandoned upscale restaurant across the street. When Noah arrived that morning, workers were already mounting a new sign above the entrance.HALE'S — FINE DININGMaya appeared beside him, carrying two cups of coffee. She handed one to Noah and stared at the sign."He's really opening a restaurant right under our noses."Noah took the cup. "At least we won't have to go far to see how he's doing."Maya turned to him, looking for any sign that he was joking. "Victor doesn't throw money around without a reason. I heard he's hired two chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants. And with his family's connections, I wouldn't be surprised if half the city's influential people have already booked tables before the place even opens."Across the street, workers unloaded crates from a delivery truck."Sounds like they'll have plenty of people willing to give them a

Chapter 7The opening night arrived under a warm evening sky. The new sign above Golden Plate's entrance glowed beneath the lights, and the first customers began arriving as their reservations came up.Noah stood near the entrance, greeting guests while keeping an eye on the dining room. The restaurant wasn't full yet, but several tables were occupied. In the kitchen, Ethan called out orders while his team worked through the first wave of tickets.Everything was running smoothly. Even so, Noah kept an eye on the empty tables near the center of the room.Maya joined him after helping a server show a couple to their seats.“Six tables are occupied. Two more reservations haven't arrived yet.”“We still have time.”“I know. I just hope everyone who booked actually shows up.”Before Noah could answer, a man walked through the entrance and gave his name to the host.Daniel Cross had arrived right on time.He wore a dark shirt under a casual jacket and occasionally glanced at his phone to ch

Chapter 6Seven days before the grand opening, Golden Plate was finally starting to look like a real restaurant again.New tables filled the dining room, and the freshly painted walls gleamed beneath the hanging lights. A few workers were still putting the finishing touches on the entrance, while the kitchen echoed with the clatter of equipment as Ethan tested the newly installed appliances.Noah checked the preparation list in his hand. The renovation was nearly complete, but there was still plenty to sort out before they could welcome their first customers.“How many staff have we hired?”Maya checked the figures on her tablet. “Six servers, two cashiers, three kitchen assistants, and two cleaners. Everyone has confirmed their schedule.”“Hire two more servers for the dinner rush.”She looked up. “We don't know how many customers we'll get yet. If the place is half-empty, we'll still have to pay them.”“And if we're busy and the service falls apart, those customers might never come
