Marvel: Game Maker System - Chapter 202: Big Cake
Walking through Uzumaki Village, Alex was surprised to see that everything was very quiet and calm, as if no one was there.
Looking around curiously, he saw that even the clerk of a noodle shop was sitting comfortably in a chair with his cell phone in his hand, browsing the oasis.
Since the person’s senses were still active in the real world, if someone talked to a person who was connected to the Oasis, they could immediately disconnect from the virtual world.
And considering the security of this village, which consisted mostly of people from the same family, the security here was the best he had ever seen.
Every few minutes, someone could be seen running around the town, the Genin he had hired as couriers, delivering cell phones to the few people who still didn’t have them.
After walking around the city, Alex logged into Oasis using his personal account with the nickname of [A].
He felt more comfortable in this world, where he could act like Alex and use his own appearance, instead of always having to pretend to be Notch with a “perfect” personality.
Since his avatar in the Oasis was the same as his appearance in real life, when he walked the streets of Lobby 75, people said hello and bowed slightly when they saw him.
Since they were in the Oasis, the land where Alex claimed to be the Daimyo, they thought that the least they could do was show respect to Alex.
Especially when they had read the terms of use of the Oasis and knew that they could be banished from the place without ever being able to return, and it was the “Oasis Team” that had the right to do so, and as the Daimyo of the place, Alex would certainly have the right to do so.
With how much fun Oasis was, being banished from here, never to return, was something they definitely didn’t want to do.
Looking at the places people went, Alex noticed that they liked to buy food and clothes and watch movies in the theaters.
For this lobby, the Oasis AI chose only the movies that were most similar in theme to the time people lived here, so they would understand more about what the story was about, and from what he saw, the movies were a big hit!
Even more so with the sale of snacks, salted and buttered popcorn, sweet and caramelized popcorn, these were all things that the people of this world had never seen before.
And since the price of these things was so low because they weren’t real, people made the most of them.
As he walked through the streets of the city, a slightly familiar 40-year-old woman came up to him, a little embarrassed.
“Mr. Alex, sorry to interrupt…” She said as she bowed.
Surprised, Alex just shook his head as he replied with a polite, warm smile. “Don’t worry, you don’t have to be so polite to me.”
Standing up and looking at Alex, she couldn’t maintain eye contact for long and looked elsewhere, clearly not knowing how to say what she wanted to say.
“You can talk, I won’t be angry if you have any complaints. We’re always working to make this environment as comfortable as possible and your feedback is always welcome.” Alex said, trying to reassure her.
But when she heard that, she was startled and quickly denied it. “No Mr. Alex, I don’t want to complain about anything, everything here is very amazing and wonderful, I’m just a little worried…”
“Worried?” Alex asked intrigued.
“Yes… it’s just that I have a restaurant in the real world, but today very few people came to my restaurant, and after tasting so much delicious food at the Oasis for such low prices, I’m worried that people won’t come to my restaurant anymore…” She lamented. “This is my family’s only source of income, apart from the support the village gives my husband since he’s a retired ninja on disability…”
Hearing this, Alex finally understood her concern and opened a screen in front of him.
Seeing Alex open the screen out of nowhere, she was shocked at how easy it was for him to control the Oasis screens, as she had a hard time doing it, but Alex doing it looked so elegant.
But when she saw him clicking on the screen several times, Haruka Uzumaki felt her heart flutter, afraid that he would banish her right now.
Afraid of getting in his way and making him angry, Haruka just remained silent, regretting that she had come to talk to him.
After what seemed to be an eternity, Alex finally answered.
“Ms. Uzumaki, I’ve just been researching the possible causes and results of this and I think this news might please you and I even have a little suggestion for you.” Alex said with a smile.
Seeing that Alex wasn’t angry, Haruka finally managed to relax and became curious about what Alex had to tell her. “What is it, Mr. Alex?”
“First of all, the reason why so few people have come to your restaurant is that everyone is too busy getting to know Oasis, which is a novelty, and they’re probably even ignoring the hunger they feel in the real world.” Alex explained patiently.
Nodding her head, Haruka could understand that since she herself hadn’t even eaten today and was just wandering around the Oasis.
“Secondly, the result of this is that even though these people are tasting a lot of food in the Oasis during this time, they will be tempted to try tasty food in the real world as well, causing them to go out and look for good restaurants in the real world to eat in, which could be good news for your restaurant.” Alex went on to explain. “Another thing is that these people might even be staying in the Oasis for so long that they won’t have time to cook food in the real world and will have to go out to eat where the food is already prepared, so it would be a good idea to be prepared to receive some hungry customers at some point.”
Hearing this explanation, Haruka’s eyes lit up as she imagined that this was really the case!
“Thank you, Mr. Alex, I’ll get ready for that!” She said excitedly as she prepared to leave.
“Calm down!” Alex said laughing. “I still haven’t given you the tip that could help your restaurant even more!”
Hearing this, Haruka looked at Alex in surprise as she thought the tip Alex was going to give was about preparing for customers. “You’ve already helped me a lot, Mr. Alex…”
“Don’t worry, the tip I have to give you is to look at the shops available for rent in Lobby 75. Think about it, if you rent a shop and open a restaurant like yours in the Oasis, you can make money virtually, but you can also advertise your restaurant to more people, get other people to try your food, and even turn those people into potential customers for your restaurant in the real world!” Alex said.
Hearing this, Haruka’s eyes, which had been very bright before, were now like powerful beacons with dollar sign designs, as she could see the potential in what Alex was saying.
“And I have a little news for you that might cheer you up even more. Oasis is only available in Uzumaki Village for now, but just imagine if people from all over the world could come to your Oasis restaurant and taste your food, like it, and even come to your restaurant in the real world, how lucrative that could be!” Alex drew a large cake for Haruka.
And when she heard these possibilities that Alex said, Haruka could completely imagine the scene of her restaurant receiving tourists from all over the world, all just to taste the food she makes… how incredible would that be?!
“Thank you Mr. Alex, I’ll familiarize myself with the Oasis and rent a shop here as soon as I understand how everything works!” She said excitedly as she bowed and then opened the virtual assistant and prepared to ask various questions to understand everything she needed to know to rent a shop in the Oasis.
Alex smiled and nodded politely at her and left, happy to spread the word to the people of this world about the opportunities they would have to make money with Oasis.
Even the delivery option would be great for Oasis, imagine someone eating in the virtual restaurant and the same food arriving at their home in a few minutes?
There were many entrepreneurial visions that existed in the modern world that people in this world didn’t know about because they were only focused on the battles and wars between ninjas.
