Building A Business Empire From Scratch In Another World

Felix returned to his office on the fourth floor, taking a seat behind his desk with a thoughtful expression.

He couldn't shake the feeling that he had heard the name Seraphine Netherfrost before, but he couldn't quite place where.

His memories were fuzzy and he couldn't remember clearly. Shaking his head, Felix decided to push the thought aside.

However, he couldn't help but feel excited about the deal he had made with Seraphine Netherfrost. If he could pull it off, his money troubles would be solved.

Felix did a quick calculation and realized he could make about 1 million gold coins. The thought of that much money made him giddy. And if he could impress the Upper Class in Bridgemoor City, it would be a double win.

[ Ding : Host Congratulations for completing side mission two ].

[ Rewards have been issued ].

Just then, a notification from the system popped up in his mind.

Felix was surprised for a moment before remembering that he had completed side mission two, which meant he had to open the restaurant for business within a month.

Chuckling to himself, Felix checked his status window.

Upon inspection, he noted a few changes: his Mana Cultivation had advanced to Tier 1 Beginner Fire Elemental Mage, the industry completion rate had inched up to 0.01%, and his BEP had increased.

Additionally, the system shop had been updated to include a Cultivation shop.

Felix closed the status window and took a deep breath.

Standing up, he drew back the curtains and positioned himself in front of the French windows, offering a panoramic view of Audaz District.

From this vantage point, he could observe the bustling activity below, with carriages arriving and patrons entering his restaurant.

The scene before him filled him with a sense of anticipation for the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.

[ Ding : Host new mission has been issued ].

Just then the system notification ranged again.

Felix was shocked as he quickly opened the mission tab to see the new task at hand.

------------------------

Mission: [ Earn Five Million Gold Coins ]

Duration: [ One Month ]

Failure Penalty: [ Destruction of Host Mana Cultivation ]

Reward: [ 1 Million BEP ]

-----------------------------

Felix had a puzzled expression on his face as he read the mission details.

" Are you kidding me, system? How am I supposed to earn five million gold coins in just one month?" Felix exclaimed.

[ The missions released are based on your current strength, Host ] the system replied.

"So you think my current strength and resources can handle this challenge?" Felix grumbled.

[ Yes, Host. According to the system's calculations, you can achieve it ] the system answered.

Felix was at a loss for words. "I've only just opened the restaurant, and the foundation isn't stable yet. I don't think I can do it."

[Well, Host, that's your problem. Besides, you've earned more than five million in a month in your previous life ] the system pointed out.

Felix was once again speechless. "This is different. My strength in this world is limited, and I'll be busy dealing with other problems after opening the restaurant both internal and also external threats from other competitots."

[ Aren't you smart figure it out yourself. The system is just here to assist you ] the system said.

"Damm,what a useless systems"Felix cursed," God why didn't you give a nice and badass system instead of this crappy one ".

[ Please don't insult the system, Host. I have dignity too ] the system replied.

" Fuck your dignity?!" Felix roared.

"And what's with this punishment? Are you serious? If I fail, you'll abolish my Mana Cultivation. You're too wicked, system!" Felix clenched his fists, feeling the urge to punch the system if it were right in front of him.

-----------------------

Just then, the office door swung open, Nixie strolled in and flopped down on the couch. Felix didn't bother turning around; he knew it was Nixie, the only one who could barge in without knocking.

"Big brother, I'm so tired," Nixie whined, pouting.

Felix took a deep breath and closed the mission tab.

He chuckled, shaking his head as he turned to face her. He was well aware of the situation on the third floor and was pretty sure Nixie was just putting on an act.

"You know I work hard, right?" Nixie looked at Felix expectantly.

Felix smiled and nodded. Then, with a hopeful glint in her eyes, Nixie asked, "Since I've been working so hard, can you increase my salary?"

Felix simply shook his head, knowing exactly what Nixie was up to. He couldn't quite figure her out; for the past few months, he had noticed her obsession with money.

Disappointed by Felix's response, Nixie pouted and said, "Big bro, I'm really broke right now. Can't you give me a raise since I've been working so hard?"

"No," Felix replied firmly. Nixie grumbled, calling him stingy for not even considering a bonus.

Ignoring her complaints, Felix poured himself a glass of wine and settled onto the couch. Nixie continued to grumble, but Felix paid her no mind.

"So, how's the third floor doing?" Felix suddenly asked.

Nixie shot him a resentful look before replying, "Not great. Only a handful of people have visited since the restaurant opened."

Felix sipped his wine, unfazed. "That's to be expected. The third floor is extremely expensive, so it'll take time to attract more customers. Just be patient."

Nixie eyed the wine in Felix's hand, licking her lips. She slowly reached for the wine bottle, but before she could grab it, Felix's voice interrupted her.

"Don't even think about it, Nixie," he said, causing her to quickly retract her hand. She looked at Felix, who was smiling at her.

"Come on, big bro, why can't I have a drink?" Nixie pouted.

"You're still young," Felix replied, shaking his head.

"I'm not young, I've grown up," Nixie insisted, puffing out her chest.

Felix glanced at her chest and chuckled, "They're still too small. Trinity's are much bigger than yours."

Confused, Nixie looked down at her chest and then back at Felix with wide eyes.

"Big brother, you're such a pervert," she said, annoyed.

Felix just smiled and took another sip of his wine.

"Okay, go call the others to come up. I have something to tell them," Felix said, waving his hand dismissively.

Nixie glared at him before getting up and walking out the door.
