Face-Slapping System

Roland walked out of the restaurant and went all the way to the back site of the Sparkling Buds' building.

There, he saw that Janine had already finished her meal and she was just playing with her phone right now, probably searching for the best routes again.

Roland greeted her and asked her if she wanted to come inside the Sparkling Buds' office with him.

She thought for a moment before nodding her head after a little hesitation.

Roland opened the door and entered the employee room of Sparkling Buds.

Roland especially requested this door to be made so that he can come and go as he pleases in Sparkling Buds without attracting the attention of the customer's in front.

Inside, Roland saw Stacey looking through the glass panel as she observed the whole busy Sparkling Buds' employee.

"Feel good?" Roland suddenly said after seeing her blooming face as she looked through the glass.

​ Stacey turned and nodded her head to Roland with a smile. As a manager, no one was happier than her when the customers started pouring in one after the other after the grand opening. Her initial self-doubt was now replaced with her previous confidence again, making Roland feel happy for her as well.

"I think this is just the start," Janine suddenly said.

Stacey turned to look at her. It was only now that she realized that Janine was actually standing right behind Roland. She squinted her eyes at Janine, curious about the reason for her saying that.

Stacey smiled at her before asking, "Why is that?"

Instead of answering, Janine just handed her phone to Stacey and allowed her to see what she saw for herself.

Stacey took her phone as Roland also looked over curiously.

A moment later, a surprise expression flashed across their face as they saw the content of the post that Janine shared to them that was also shared from her school group chat.

Basically, a high school student posted the details of their experience here at Sparkling Buds earlier. The student praised the sparkling fried chicken, even daring to say that it was countless times better than Mark Jonalds and that it was even cheaper.

At first, the post did not attract anyone's attention.

However, one popular college student noticed the high school student's post and commented on it, asking for the location and other details.

A moment later, the college student shared her post and captioned that it was indeed the truth, and even bragged that she was one of the first 100 people who tasted the sparkling fried chicken.

Those who had already tasted the sparkling fried chicken and saw the post also commented their own inputs regarding the matter. They also shared the high school student's post making the matter blow up even further.

After just an hour from its upload, the post has already gone a little viral and already had over 100 shares and almost a thousand likes and the count was still increasing.

The comments were like a carnival, having a mix of skepticism and praise, making the whole comment section very lively.

There were those who praised Sparkling Buds at the bottom of their heart, while there were those who cursed for doing such a lousy marketing strategy as well. Aside from these two types of comments, the internet trolls also started to chime in, while some serious people commented that they will visit the store later to verify the authenticity of the post.

Seeing that, a smile blossomed on Stacey once again, indicating how happy she was. Her tactic of giving free food to the first 100 customers was successful, and now, those who received the free meal were already starting to advertise the restaurant themselves.

Roland gives her a thumbs up, appreciating her efforts. And after seeing how cute the happy Stacey was, Roland even decided to give her a kiss to everyone's surprise.

Stacey responded in kind, but Janine looked away with a pout on her lips, clearly jealous as she wished that she was Stacey at this moment.

On the other hand, Stacey saw Janine's reaction at the corner of her eyes and immediately realized what was going on inside her head. As a respect to her, Stacey separated her lips from Roland with a smile.

After their little celebration, they looked outside once again and immediately realized that the number of people inside the store was not receding.

A lot of customers who arrived first had already gone out, but more were still coming inside to have a taste of the sparkling chicken.

Right now, the entire building was already almost full and it looked as if it was a rush hour.

That viral post indeed helped the Sparkling Buds a lot, advertising it to a lot of people through the biggest platform, Dissbook.

Seeing that everything was falling into place, Roland smiled and decided to call Gustav inside.

The Sparkling Buds now had its first day blooming with customers, for him, this was a good sign of its success in the future. Roland doesn't want this good sign to end, so he thought that they should deal with Razor and his mercenary as soon as possible.

Roland accessed the Face-Slapping Store and bought skills and knowledge that would be able to help track Razor's location.

The reconnaissance skill and talent was indeed great, but it was limited to the fact that it must have a clear target to gather information and be wary of. For those who were in the dark like Razor, Roland thought that he needed another set of skills for that.

With that being said, Roland immediately bought the Tracker Skill as well as the necessary knowledge for it for 120 FS in total including the level 2 variants.

As usual, Roland felt the same sensation when he absorbed the Level 2 Skill and Level 2 Knowledge.

After he absorbed the level 2 skills and knowledge, Gustav also arrived at the same time with One walking behind him expressionlessly.
