Chapter 25: The Boss?

Looking at the bags of frozen food he had left in the freezer of his shop in Gliese, Luck nodded in satisfaction.

"Velma, you're in charge today."

Velma was stunned as she had never expected to hear such a thing "I'm in charge? Why? Boss, what are you going to do?"

"I have other things to do today, but I'll be back in the evening before the shop closes." 

Seeing Velma's terrified expression, he smiled and reassuringly put his hand on her shoulder "There is nothing to be afraid of, you will do what you always do, that's all."

The woman stammered "As always... okay."

Not wanting to disappear through the door in front of his employees, Luck walked through the door of the first inn he saw after leaving the shop and returned to Earth.

Soon after Luck, the door opened again.

A man looked around as if he was looking for someone or something, but he obviously couldn't find what he was looking for.

"Did he run away or does he know we're after him?" The man spoke to himself.

...

Luck, who had returned to Earth, quickly changed his clothes and set off for Monster Burger.

Luck, who was checking social media on the way, was stunned when he checked the post of the social media phenomenon who posted a photo the other day.

"4.5 million views in one day... Oh my god..."

Even more surprising to Luck were the comments below the post.

-Look at these model monsters! It looks interesting!-

-I want to go and have my photo taken!-

-Look at the packaging of the hamburgers! It's beautiful!

-I heard the burgers are delicious too!

-We should go and try them!

There were dozens of messages like this asking to come to the shop

After a while, Luck came to the street where the shop was located and saw a lot of people waiting in a queue.

Looking at all these people with confusion, Luck asked, "What are all these people waiting for?"

As Luck walked towards the shop, he realized with surprise that the queue continued and when he finally arrived at the door of the shop, he had a look of shock on his face.

One of the people in the queue realized that Luck was trying to walk past all the people in the queue to get in and said, "Hey! Can't you see all those people in line, get in line!

Luck, not realizing that the man was calling him, opened the door and was about to go in when he felt a tight grip on his shoulder.

The same man who had just warned Luck had grabbed Luck's shoulder and pulled him "I told you to get in line!"

Confused as to why he had to wait in line to get into his shop, Luck said, "Stand in line, why?"

The man got angry as he looked at Luck's goofy face "Do you think all those people waiting in line are stupid?"

The argument between the two had attracted the attention of other people waiting in line.

Realizing that Luck was trying to enter the shop without queuing, people started to look at Luck maliciously and grumbled.

Meanwhile, Albert, who was busy taking pictures of all the people waiting in line with his phone and uploading them to Monster Burger's social media, noticed people grumbling and curiously went out and saw Luck.

A smile appeared on Albert's face "Boss! What are you doing here, come in!"

Luck pointed to the man who stopped him to Albert who called him and said, "This man told me to queue to get in."

Albert seemed to realize something when he looked at the people grumbling in the queue and Luck, who ignored the whole queue and tried to get in. 

Albert covered his face with his hand and said, "Boss, you should have come in through the back door, that's the staff entrance."

At this time, the man who noticed Albert coming out of the shop had a black face when he realized that the person he insisted on getting in line with was the boss of the shop.

"If you are the boss of the shop, why didn't you say that?" was the man's thought.

...

Finally entering the shop, Luck was greeted by a familiar sight.

Just like in his shop in Gliese, all the tables inside were full to the brim, but still, people were waiting in line to buy hamburgers, and some people were coming down from the second floor of the store with black boxes with various monster designs in their hands.

Luck pointed to the boxes of various designs in people's hands and said, "Albert, what are those boxes?"

Albert, who looked at the place where Luck pointed, said with understanding, "Boss, let's go up to my room and I'll explain what happened to you."

Albert took Luck to the second floor and took out a box from his desk and took out another box for Luck and himself and when he opened the lid of the box, the little monster figure inside the box appeared.

 "When I saw people taking photos in front of the monster models yesterday, I had an idea, why don't we make small figures of these monsters and sell them?"

Looking at the monster figure in his hand with the eyes of a customer, Luck realized that there would be people who would want to buy such a monster figure.

Noticing Luck's silence, Albert timidly bowed his head "I made a quick decision and took action when I suddenly thought of it, I should have asked you, you're right boss."

Luck was unaware of Albert's situation "How are the customers reacting?"

Realizing that Luck was not angry with him, Albert smiled "It's selling like hotcakes! Half of our stock has already sold out in 4 hours!"

"Half of our stock is gone? How much do the figures sell for?" 

Albert began to explain "The figures cost us $10 each and we sell them for $100! We sold 130 in 3 hours and we have 100 left!"

PAT!

Luck dropped the figure on the floor.

'90 dollars profit per figure! We made 13 thousand dollars in 3 hours just from figure sales?! Luck thought, not believing the money he earned. 

Thinking of the people flocking to the shop, Luck said, "How's our overall sales so far?"

Albert's smile widened "I've been dying to tell you that."

"You remember the social media phenomenon yesterday, right?"

Luck nodded in agreement.

"His post attracted a lot of attention! Some people from the surrounding cities even came just to see the monster figures!"

Luck pointed at the monster figure in his hand and said, "That must be one of the reasons why our figure sales are so good."

Albert nodded "Yes, you are right, we are lucky, but that doesn't explain the success of our hamburger sales!"

Luck asked curiously "Doesn't it?"

Albert took a tablet on the table and handed it to Luck after opening a few things.

"The number of people entering the shop in 3 hours is 450! Our average sales per person is 145 dollars!"

Albert looked out of the window and said, "The number of people waiting in line is constantly increasing! I've never seen anything like this even in Burger Quenn!"

Luck looked at the ever-changing data on the tablet and thought, 'Oh my god, making 100 thousand dollars a day is not even a dream! I could make 3 million dollars a month!'
