Tap Tycoon System!

Joseph finished reading the document and handed it back to Nathan.

"I have confirmed that you are indeed Mr. Nathaniel Fernandez, the new owner of Mountain's Fragrance cafe."

After saying that, he bowed his head a little and introduced himself,

"I apologize for the late introduction, my name is Joseph Samudyo, the manager of Mountain's Fragrance."

Nathan just nodded slightly and hummed.

Joseph moves to the side as he politely gestures for Nathan to take a seat on his chair.

Nathan did not refuse and took a seat comfortably.

Silence ensued in the office.

Feeling slightly uncomfortable, Joseph decided to talk.

"Mr. Nathan, how may-"

But he was not even able to finish his words when he was suddenly interrupted by Nathan.

With a solemn voice, he asked, "Tell me what is happening with everyone."

Joseph who was interrupted did not get mad or anything.

And as a person who's been in a position that requires understanding people, Joseph immediately knows what Nathan means.

Sighing in fatigue, he organized his thoughts before he started, with a serious look on his face, he said, "Actually… I also don't know."

Nathan almost fell down from his seat after hearing that.

'What was all that momentum you built for!?' he complained.

Of course he only keeps those words in his heart, on the surface he still keeps his face straight.

But it seems like Joseph was still not done talking as he continued, "But all I can confirm is that, all of this started 5 days ago."

There was a light in his eyes as he spoke.

"5 days ago?"

"Yes, coincidentally, a new cafe opened at that time as well."

Those words suddenly made Nathan raise an eyebrow.

a thoughtful look appeared on his face, 'Is it really such a coincidence?'

As Nathan was still thinking of that, the system suddenly issued him another mission.

[New Mission: Find out the cause of the curse in your employees and solve it to free everyone from the chain of this curse.

Reward: 2 million experience, 10 gold points, Mystery Box (Rare)

Time Limit: 1 Day

Punishment: Mountain's Fragrance bankruptcy.]

…

The new mission did not make much fluctuation in his heart and just looked at it objectively.

"The rewards are quite good," his eyes moved to the punishment, "But the consequence of failing is also quite harsh…"

"Did you say something, sir?"

It seems like Joseph heard Nathan's muttering and asked.

Nathan unhurriedly shook his head.

"No, it's nothing. Don't worry about this now, I'll take a look at what is happening here."

Nathan stood up and slowly walked out of the door.

"Yes, sir!" Replied Joseph while bowing his head a little.

…

Back at the cafe.

Nathan looked around, searching for the other hikers.

"Nathan, here!"

Hearing his name being called, Nathan turned to look and saw Irish beckoning at him.

Nodding his head, Nathan walked towards their table.

Since all members can't fit on 1 table, everyone was divided into 3 tables with 4 people each.

The only vacant seat now is on Irish side.

"Come, come. Take a seat."

"Thanks."

Besides the two of them, James and Kenneth are also on the same table.

Since the three were originally close friends, the table doesn't feel awkward or anything.

But Nathan, with a lot of worries in his hand, did not join in on their conversations.

'I don't have time to relax. The time limit for the mission is only one day. I only got this cafe for a day, I don't want to lose it just like that!' he thought with firm determination.

He opened the shop and browsed through it using his thoughts.

'Is there anything here that can help me?'

Filtering the items to match his need, Nathan attentively scanned every item he saw to see if there was something useful.

Not even a minute after he started searching, an item that caught his eyes finally appeared.

[Glasses of All-Seeing

Details: It has the ability to see through things that are invisible to the naked eye. Every second, the durability of this product is consumed. Once the durability reach zero, the glasses will break.

Durability: 120

Price: 10 Gold Points]

The moment he laid eyes on it, Nathan's eyes immediately lit up!

'This is it, this is what I need!'

Since Nathan still has 10 Gold Points, he immediately used it to purchase a Glass of All-Seeing.

[Thank you for your purchase. The product has been delivered in your storage.]

Not caring about the usual notification, Nathan was about to take his phone out when he suddenly heard Irish voice calling him.

"Nathan, are you okay? You've been quiet the whole time. Are you still feeling sick?"

The worried tone of her voice for some reason tickles Nathan's ears.

Flashing a relaxed smile, he said, "Don't worry about me. I'm just thinking about some things."

"Is that so? Well, if you say so." Irish reluctantly stopped,

All of this fell into James and Kenneth's eyes.

They just look at them with an empty look.

Noticing it, Irish face turned pink, feeling a little embarrassed.

Kenneth let out a sad sigh, "Sigh… damn, I should really start looking for a girlfriend soon."

While James just remained silent, patting his shoulders and giving him a cheering thumbs up.

Seeing this comical act, Nathan can't help but laugh a little.

And a few seconds later, the three also started laughing.

Nathan then became more relaxed around them, feeling that they were just like friends.

After calming down, Nathan noticed that no one seems to have ordered yet.

"What are we waiting for? Let's order something."

Saying that, Nathan called an employee.

Nathan ordered the same thing as he ordered this morning as it tasted good.

After the other three also gave their orders, the staff left.

At this time, James suddenly said, "The employees here seem to not have any energy and they feel a little gloomy."

"Yeah, actually, I already noticed the atmosphere they gave off when we stepped inside earlier." Kenneth said,

Irish seems oblivious to all of this as a surprised look appeared on her face, as she said,

"Really? How come I did not notice it?"

James and Kenneth looked at her with a judging gaze.

At the same time, they said,

"Because you've been staring at Nathan the whole time!"
