Since he decided to go back, Alex didn't stay any longer.
"Ferri, let's go. It's time for us to go back."
"Woof!"
Alex sat on Ferri's back and started their journey back to the town.
Along the way, Alex and Ferri met a couple of monsters and without fail, Alex killed them and used [Sacrifice].
This is so that when he comes to the Tower of Trial and his stats multiplied, he will benefit a lot!
Just like that, Alex killed monsters here and there and the free attribute points he has started piling up in his status panel.
About an hour later, they came out of the Black Forest.
The sun shining down from above landed on Alex and he squinted his eyes.
Then seeing that they are out of the forest, he smiled, "We're finally out, Ferri!"
"Woof woof!"
Still with a smile on his face, Alex and Ferri continued heading towards Kupido Town.
Alex finally arrived in town just around after lunchtime.
At this time, there's still a queue at the entrance of the town.
One by one, they were inspected by the guards before letting them in.
Alex got down from Ferri and fell in line.
However, because of Ferri, a monster, it caused a small commotion with the people in line.
"Woah, isn't a Wind Wolf?"
"Yeah, that's a strong monster from the Black Forest."
"From the size of it, it seems to be a Leader-class Wind Wolf."
"Damn, then, is that Wind Wolf that man's pet?"
"Yeah, it seems like the case."
…
They whispered among themselves while subconsciously moving away from Alex and Ferri.
Seeing that, Alex gave an amicable smile and said, "Don't worry everyone. This Wind Wolf here has been tamed by me."
As if to prove his words, he patted Ferri on its neck to which Ferri showed a visibly pleased expression.
Because of that, the people around relaxed their vigilance and started talking to Alex about some things related to tamed monsters.
Alex gladly chatted with them while also waiting in line.
After waiting for some time, soon, it was Alex's turn.
While Alex was being inspected, the guard looked a bit tense but also curious about Ferri.
To that, Alex didn't say anything.
He just showed proof of his residency in Kupido Town, which was given by Kara before when Alex bought the Old Building.
It didn't take long and Alex was allowed to enter the gate.
But before he went in, a guard said to Alex, "Just to not cause any more commotion and panic within the townspeople, please put a collar on your tamed monster as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll do that, thank you."
Alex nodded before going on his way.
After walking for a couple of minutes, Alex arrived outside Lucky Restaurant.
However, when Alex saw the situation of the Lucky Restaurant now, he was dumbfounded.
Outside the restaurant, a long line of people are lining up.
The line was even longer than the one at the town entrance!
Now, standing outside, Alex doesn't know what happened for it to become like this in just a few hours.
At this time, as Alex is questioning whether this is really his restaurant, one of the thugs that was previously assigned to call for customers outside noticed Alex.
With a curious face, he approached Alex and said, "Boss? What are you doing here outside, Boss?"
Slowly turning his head at the thug, Alex pointed at the bustling restaurant in front of him and asked, "Hey… how did the restaurant become so popular in just a few hours?"
When the thug heard his question, a smug look can't help but appear on his face.
"Well, Boss, isn't it all because of Boss Don's cooking?"
After that, the thug told Alex what happened while he was gone.
Basically, after he left, Don did his best and studied the recipe book that he gave him.
Maybe it was because he has a [Chef] class even though his 'World System' is not yet activated, it showed its prowess, helping Don understand everything about cooking easily.
After that, he finished the dishes that Alex started and served them to the customers.
It was then that everything started.
After the first customers tasted the food, they were surprised.
The appetizing aroma, the wonderful texture of the food, as well as the overflowing flavor of the food.
All of it gave them an experience that they never tasted before!
After they finished eating, they introduced themselves.
One of them is called Luis Goldberg, the owner of Goldberg Commerce, the biggest merchant in Kupido Town and other surrounding towns.
After tasting the food, Luis was very happy, he said that he will be coming again.
Then, when Luis left, for a while, the restaurant became empty.
But not even a few minutes later, a bunch of people were heading towards the Lucky Restaurant.
As for why, Lui Goldberg actually released a statement about the Lucky Restaurant, calling the food there the best food he has ever eaten!
And, that is how everything turned into this.
After hearing all that, Alex remained standing for a few seconds.
He's really surprised by this turn of events.
In just a few hours that he was gone to level up, his restaurant that was established just a few hours ago has gone from being unknown to a popular restaurant!
A few seconds later, Alex recovered and turned his eyes back to the thug.
"Okay, I get it now. You can go back to work now."
"Okay, Boss!"
Dismissed by Alex, the thug continued working, assisting the new customers.
Alex looked at the restaurant for a while more before finally heading inside.
Just like outside, the inside of the restaurant are also packed with people.
The thugs are going here and there, acting as waiters, delivering food to each customer.
Inside the kitchen, Alex saw Don, cooking something.
On Don's face, he had a smile as he cooked food nonstop.
Seeing that, Alex also smiled.
He muttered, "It seems like I made the right decision of leaving it to Don."
