Luya waited for a while, yet the system didn't immediately calculate how much money he had made today.
He figured… maybe it was because he earned too much this time?!
Ganyu and the Dragonmaids were cleaning the restaurant, while the Head Chef, the Poissonniere de Nouvelles, and the Bistro Butchers were tidying up the kitchen. Luya was leisurely lounging on the sofa.
Just then, the system finally finished calculating!
The system's voice sounded:
[Congratulations, Boss~~]
[Today's total revenue: 1.8 billion Mora!!~!]
[Of which, card pack profit: 1.6 billion Mora]
[Other product profit: 240 million Mora]
[Nouvelles Restaurant profit: 400 million Mora]
[Available Mora: 1.8 billion]
Although Luya knew he'd earn a lot today, when the actual total was deposited into his account, he inevitably got excited.
That's way too much money...!
If he could return to Blue Star, Luya could easily live a carefree life. He could just kick back and relax, living a lighthearted existence—yet for now, there were still things he needed to do.
Even though 1.8 billion Mora sounded like a lot, it could vanish quickly once he started spending.
Luya still didn't know the production cost of a [Portable Game Console]. Making one required not only raw materials but also labor fees!
If machines were involved, there'd be maintenance costs too.
All kinds of expenses... just thinking about it gave Luya a headache. If only someone could handle all that for him...
At this point, Luya really preferred being a hands-off boss—deciding the overall direction and leaving the details to others. Procurement, hiring workers, and other specifics could all be delegated. Though he could use [Divine Hand] to materialize monsters and make them work for free, there was a limit to how many he could summon at once. Using all of them just to tighten screws in an electronics factory clearly wouldn't be enough.
So, Luya wanted to recruit ordinary people to help him produce the [Portable Game Console]. Once he set up an assembly line, efficiency would skyrocket!
Of course, this would cost quite a bit of Mora. Yet as the production line matured, he'd recover the investment in no time.
Besides, with Greater Lord Rukkhadevata developing the technology for networks and Digital Mora, the in-game top-up system could finally go live!
And during this process, he'd need to sign countless contracts.
So Luya planned to bring Yanfei in to work for him. With that, he'd have the strongest legal department in all of Liyue Harbor. With Yanfei around, many legal issues could be easily resolved.
In addition to handling contracts, Luya also needed to solve distribution problems. The most famous businessperson in Liyue Harbor was Tianquan Ningguang.
If only I could get Ningguang to work for me too... Luya thought to himself.
However, Ningguang was far from short on money, and she had plenty of Liyue affairs to manage. So this idea would likely remain just that—a dream.
Still, Xingqiu's Feiyun Commerce Guild wasn't bad either. It was one of the largest guilds in Liyue Harbor, and Luya could have them handle any excess inventory he couldn't sell.
When he eventually opened branches in every nation across Teyvat, launched local production lines for the game consoles, and set up networks, he could begin both online and offline sales.
No middlemen would ever take a cut!
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! Daily revenue has exceeded 1 billion Mora!]
[Generating rewards!]
[Automatic card pack generation +5000]
[Card packs upgraded to Theme Card Packs!]
[Free allocation area +3000 square meters]
[Legendary Recipe]
Listening to the string of rewards, Luya wasn't surprised about the additional card packs or expanded space; in any case, that [Legendary Recipe] was especially useful.
When he looked through its contents, he was astonished.
[Ascending Dragon Dumplings]
[Phoenix Crystal]
[Treasure Mountain Flying Dragon Pot]
[Eight Treasures Fortune Duck]
A wide variety of dishes and cooking methods were recorded in the [Legendary Recipe]. With this, Luya's restaurant could offer more dishes and earn even more Mora.
He could even open additional branches elsewhere, covering all kinds of cuisines!
Right now, his restaurant mainly specialized in French-style Western food—only seven dishes in total. While delicious, they were expensive; though fine for a novelty tasting, eating the same seven over and over was inevitably dull.
However, with the system's [Legendary Recipe], this problem would be solved.
The [Legendary Recipe] included not only elaborate, extravagant dishes but also simple, homely ones that were still delicious. This way, Luya could profit from both the wealthy and the ordinary—truly a win-win.
Just as Luya was feeling pleased, the system spoke again:
[Ding! Congratulations, Host!]
[Total assets have surpassed 1 billion Mora!]
[Land Purchase function unlocked.]
Hearing the system notification, Luya's curiosity was piqued. He had just been worrying about having no location for his Yu-Gi-Oh! Scratch Card shop… and now this appeared!
Perfect timing. Time to see what kind of land he could buy.
With 1.8 billion Mora in hand, Luya had money to burn...
