I'm an Assistant Manager!
Hey everyone! Someone commented asking for longer chapters, so here it is! I'll be posting 1 1000+ word chapter per day, so more content for you!
*Host, you can now begin upgrading your ability to run businesses! Continue upgrading skills!*
Quest Finished: Become Assistant Manager
Rewards: 100 Business Management EXP, Use of Employee Management Tool unlocked, 1 Free Spin on Level 1 Wheel, 100 Free EXP
*Host, check the Employee Management Tool! Also, your business management skill upgraded to Trash-Medium Grade!*
*Employee Management Tool*
You have 5 employees currently
Employee 1:
Potential: 20/100
Loyalty: 15/100
Employee 2:
Potential: 35/100
Loyalty: 24/100
Employee 3:
Potential: 56/100
Loyalty: 7/100
Employee 4:
Potential: 7/100
Loyalty: 60/100
Employee 5:
Potential: 36/100
Loyalty: 34/100
Ge Liang knew he had at least one genius, with a potential of 56 rated by the system! However, there was one problem.... that genius did not respect or like him, as his loyalty was only at 7/100.... and he had one with low potential but 60 loyalty! What a shame.... if only he had a employee with both high potential and loyalty! No matter... At least he could start his route to becoming the Manager of the store! He checked with the system for actions he could take.
*Host, I cannot give you any further instructions, you must do this on your own.* Well, if the system wasn't going to be of any help.... he could check out some of the new features he unlocked after reaching level 2!
*Wheel of Quest Fortune*
*Gacha*
Hmm.... It was quite obvious that the wheel of fortune spin was for the Wheel of Quest Fortune, so Ge Liang decided to go check that out first.
Level 1 Wheel - 1 spin
90% Common 9% Uncommon 1% Rare
Ge Liang decided to spin the wheel. What the hell right, it wasn't like he wasn't going to get any other chances! He was excited to see the reward from such a high end system, even if the wheel just was Level 1.
*DING* *DING* *DING* *DIIIIING*
*Host has received an Uncommon Prize!*
Strength Pill: Increases your strength and physical power related skills by 2 grades for 1 hour, however, user feels extreme fatigue after use.
Yes! What an amazing item! Ge Liang was staring in shock for a moment... With the system's high expectations, 2 whole grades was the difference between a middle schooler and a professional WWE wrestler! Holy shit! Now he could complete that quest about the bullied worker with ease. However, he had 2 things on his mind, the first being that after 1 hour, he would feel extreme fatigue. If he was still fighting in an hour, he would suffer severe problems as not only would his strength boost be gone, he would be fatigued when fighting! Clearly, even with his newfound potential strength, he could not afford to be cocky and blow things out of proportion. The second thing he was thinking was... he could reverse-engineer it! Anything this rare would cost millions, and he would be set for life! Ge Liang's mouth was already salivating....
*Host, you may not reverse engineer the system's rewards. That would be cheating humanity's way to the top of the galactic food chain, and that is not acceptable.*
Damn! It made sense though... if he could reverse-engineer every item he got, then he would become a tycoon in no time! Anyways, he should raise his strength to Trash Middle-Grade before consuming the pill to take on the quest, so that his strength would be at Beginner Low-Grade on the pill, and there was most likely a massive jump in skill between Trash and Beginner skills. Ge Liang was also interested in the Gacha system. He had seen this in games where you'd put money or game money in and randomly get something out!
Gacha Level 1
Available
Gacha Level 2+
Locked
It seemed that the higher level Gachas were locked, so he couldn't view the cost or rewards just yet. However, he wanted to see what the 1st level Gacha had available. After working quite a lot, he had just about $500 on hand, so hopefully it was enough...
Gacha Level 1:
Cost: $100 USD Earth
Rewards: 90% Common, 9% Uncommon, 1% Rare
*Warning: Rewards are far more varied than the Wheel of Quest Fortune.*
Ge Liang gave it a spin just to see what would happen. It spun for a while, then landed on rare! Wow! He was excited to see what a rare item would look like, so he pressed a button to see the item's attributes.

Amazing! This truly lived up to the standards of a rare item... Ge Liang checked his attribute page once more to see how he was doing.

Ge Liang decided that now was a good time to try out some of that inspiration powder at the gym to improve his strength! He went to the gym and mounted the bench press machine.
Consume Inspiration Powder: 1 dose Yes/No?
*Yes*
Inspiration Powder consumed. Please maximise the effect by working hard!
Ge Liang thought he looked so cool that he wished he could make a video montage to show to all his friends, but sadly he couldn't. He kept increasing the number of weights to lift so fast that people were shocked. Of course, the system gave him an incredible growth potential so that he could do this.
*+1 Strength EXP*
Later... Heavier... Stronger..
*+2 Strength EXP*
Finally! He could increase his strength by 2 every time he did a set of bench presses. Even the strongest in the gym looked at his growth and the 200+ pounds he was lifting and all they could do was say: "Truly scary. If only I had growth like that..." "Are you sure he's not a professional body builder, come to flex on us?"
Ge Liang left the gym feeling very satisfied and ego-full that evening.
