Chapter Fourteen
Like all morning I woke up before 8:00 AM and opened the store.
Within an hour like usually my morning customers appeared.
Mike and his squad sat down in their usual seats while Alex and David did the same.
[Congratulations on completing a task!]
[Task: Minecraft
Task Description: Have Minecraft activated 100 times!
Task Reward: New Items for sale
(100/100)]
[You may view the items and their descriptions in the morning!]
I read through the task and listened to the system.
It appears that I will be looking at the items in the morning.
Once an hour passed within the store Mike walked over and asked "Hey boss, do you having anything to drink?"
Suddenly a new task appeared before me and before I read it I told Mike "Sadly we do not, for today at least."
I then looked at my new task.
[Task: Selling Beverages
Task Description: Sell 100 beverages!
Task Reward: New consumable item for sale!
(0/100)]
Huh? We don't sell any beverages...
[Starting tomorrow you can find a large fridge behind the counter, inside the counter you can find the new beverage for sale within the Cafe, please read about the beverage below, unlike the customers you are free to drink this product for free]
[Rejuvinating Spring Water(An Unlimited amount can be Sold Per Day)(1 E Crystal) - Water from an ancient spring that was mixed with a rare rejuvenating spirit fruit which gives it a sweet berry taste. Note: Will help recover one's mental fatigue and make them comfortable]
I can drink this for free?
[Correct]
Great!
...
Soon 3 hours passed and my morning customer's time was already halfway to being over.
As usual, a few people came in, checked the rule board, called me a scam, and left.
But then an old man stepped into the cafe.
I was shocked because this man insanely familiar to someone from my earth...
It was an old man with a long grey beard and long grey hair.
He was wearing grey robes and in his right hand was a long staff...
This man looked exactly like Gandalf the Grey! [1]
"Excuse me young man, what is this place?" Gandalf asked me.
"This is my cafe, I hope you don't mind me asking this but does your name happen to be Gandalf?" I asked.
"Why yes it is, how did you know?" he asked in surprise.
"It was just a guess," I told Gandalf.
System...why is Gandalf here?
[Have you not heard of the multiverse theory?]
As in there are infinite universes?
[Correct, it's entirely possible for coincidences to happen in these universes, like Gandalf appearing in this universe and having the same name, personality, and looks as the Gandalf you are familiar with]
"Well nice to meet you Gandalf, I want you to first read the rules on the board behind me. If you think my establishment is a scam then you are free to leave." I told Gandalf before sitting back down in my chair.
A Minute quickly passed as Gandalf carefully read through the rules with surprise on his face.
I could hear him murmur "An E Crystal for every hour of playtime with a maximum of 6 hours of playtime?"
"That's right," I told him.
Gandalf looked around the shop and the game that everyone was playing with interest.
I could see that my store has caught his interest and without hesitation, he paid me with an E Crystal.
As usual, I informed him of the activation cost of Minecraft before he could walk away.
He paid me another E Crystal and sat down in an isolated seat in a corner.
He set his username as "The Grey" and activated Minecraft.
As usual, Mike walked over and introduced himself.
"My name is Mike Shrotiger, what's your name?"Mike asked Gandalf as he raised his hand offering Gandalf a handshake.
"My name is Gandalf Grey, nice to meet you, Mike," Gandalf informed Mike as he shook his hand.
"Gandalf...wait, as in the owner of the Grey Trading Guild?" Mike asked.
"That's right, young man, I am the leader of the Grey Trading Guild," Gandalf confirmed.
Why is that name so familiar?
Oh, now I remember.
The Grey Trading Guild is a large training guild that has branches across hundreds of worlds.
They trade many things but what they are most known for is trading Spatial Rings.
A Spatial Ring is made from a rare ore called Moon Silver and on the ring's surface is a bunch of runes. If you sent Qi into these rings a large open space would open up in the ring and you could store many things inside.
If I remember correctly a single Spatial Ring is sold for at least 1,000 E Crystals...
My god why is such a rich person in my Cafe?!
Mike froze in front of Gandalf from hearing that he was the leader of such a rich organization.
"Calm down my boy, I am here to enjoy myself," Gandalf said as he laughed.
Even Alex who was listening to the conversation showed his surprise.
Mike showed Gandalf the ins and outs of Minecraft and gave him some useful tips.
Gandalf slowly got used to Minecraft and even showed great surprise when he gained QI from slaying a monster.
I learned from Gandalf that he was a cultivator at the 5th stage!
He was stronger than the King of Braxia and Great General Alex!
