Chapter 1621 – [(Relatively) Daily Life]

After the visit of the Absolute of Nature, nothing much happened, but one thing worth worrying about was the opening of Eden Mart.

As soon as the opening date of Eden Mart, which Eden had previously announced on TV, was announced, people started waiting several days before. Even though the parking lot is several times larger than that of a regular large supermarket, so many people gather that it is full.

“Wow, it’s no joke.”

“That’s right. Why are people flocking like that just to see something?”

“Why is there nothing to see!!!! We are selling vegetables and fruits from the Garden of Eden!!!!!”

“That’s true, but…”

When I started selling, there were a lot of things to take care of. For example, the problem with Garden of Eden exchange products.

You can go and buy it, but I think it’s a bit unfair to exchange it for something else while playing the game and paying for it, but there are a few other factors here. For example, there is a difference between goods sold in supermarkets and exchanged goods.

It’s there somewhere, and it’s not there anywhere. So, if you want to get what you want, you have to do your best. Ah, the fairy tears are still there.

Moreover, Garden of Eden offers free delivery for large or small quantities. At supermarkets, you have to pay unless it exceeds a certain amount. By doing so, the benefits are different for buying at the supermarket and exchanging for Garden of Eden.

Nevertheless, the people who gathered… Roughly half of them were just customers. Anyway, I think business will go well, so I like it.

The first Eden Mart branch was a spacious three-story supermarket. First, the first and second floors are basically marts, but the first floor is for general use and the second floor is for luxury use. Even though they are sold relatively cheaply, the second floor sells expensive ingredients.

For example, truffles or pine mushrooms. Oh, fairy tears are also sold on the second floor, and public access is not restricted and can be viewed.

And the third floor is a leisure space and restaurant area. Since it is on the third floor, there is a high ceiling, so if you go up, you can see the view of the Garden of Eden beyond the wall and drink coffee while feeling the cool breeze. There are also carefully selected restaurants as a bonus.

In the restaurant area on the 3rd floor, vegetables and meat are supplied from here, so even if you are not good at it, you will be at par, but since the food is good, it will taste better than the typical restaurant food. However, because there are too many people and it’s too busy, the quality may drop… But that can be solved by hiring more people.

“Money is always right!!!!”

[Boss Krabs did the same!!!!]

“Money isn’t always right…”

“Actually, my mom was like that too.”

“Well, money is right. It doesn’t matter.”

Afterward, opening time arrived in earnest. People gathered in front of the entrance, like Americans flocking to the place on Black Friday, and were so crowded that you thought the person in front of you was going to be crushed to death.

If something goes wrong on the first day of entry, it will ruin the supermarket business, so I use my telekinetic powers to stop people. In fact, we also came because the supermarket was open, and we were worried that we might get into trouble along with the gathered people.

“Oh what?! It’s like an invisible hand…”

“Isn’t this an evil spirit?! There is an evil spirit!!!!!”

“Aren’t Wakamo Shrine and Keter also watching?”

“Nunaaaaa!!!!”

Thanks to this, people who realized we were watching struggled even more. No, I can’t help prevent it because I think pushing people will lead to a disaster, so what if it causes more problems?

Ignore it for now and people enter the supermarket. We’ve trained and deployed enough staff, so there won’t be any problems, and we’ll continue to monitor it for now.

So, we relaxed and chatted while watching the supermarket through CCTV in the management office.

[Now that I think about it, Eden. How are you going to use what the owner gave you?]

“I’m thinking about it. It’s always better to use reinforcement items carefully.”

[Moreover, it is a guaranteed reinforcement item. It would be good to use it for most things, but it is better to use it when it is already better.]

The leaves of Yggdrasil that the Absolute Nature gave me last time are kept in my house. Despite this, what can I say… It’s not a joke, it’s full of vitality, so much so that it’s noticeable that the skin of the women in my house is improving. Perhaps a few of those leaves can easily contain the vitality of a decent star?

It may seem like a leap, but the Absolute is only half of the original concept, and the God of the Absolute was created by removing half of the Absolute, so it was almost like using a rod as a weapon. Considering the power I have as a Lord, it is no exaggeration to say that those few leaves have the vitality of stars.

Anyway, since it was such an important item, it had to be used carefully. Just like when I received ectoplasm from the Aregishes before, I have to think more carefully this time.

“I’m thinking about using it on the four horns of Kether.”

[On my horn? Ah, it would be nice to have compatibility. If you look at the big picture, the roots are the same.]

Since Lu-Veana was born in Yggdrasil, in a way she is like attaching leaves to the branches of a tree. However, I think she has that much synergy.

You can use it elsewhere, but it’s probably the best option. Of course, it is up to Eden to decide what to do, so let him decide for himself.

“Shall we go out and do business after a while?”

“What business?”

“It’s the first day of our store opening, and if I don’t go out, I feel like I’m going to have a bad day. I want to go out and run a tasting corner!!!!”

“Yes, but is it okay to suddenly leave?”

“I already told you separately?”

[Eden, you have a plan.]

Since Eden said to do it, I have to do it.

Eden and I drove the tasting cart. I went out with light cooking utensils and other disposable items to use for tasting, but as soon as I came out, all eyes were on me and people started flocking in.

“Huh? It’s a heinous emperor!!!!”

“Choi Eden is there too!!! Wow!!!”

“Please sign here!!!!”

Once the crowd gathers, they sign and hand over their signatures, then line up in front of the appropriate vegetable section and start cooking right away. The menu isn’t particularly grand; it’s just plain stir-fried vegetables.

Pour cooking oil in a pan, especially fragrant olive oil made from processed olives from the Garden of Eden, and fry finely chopped vegetables. If the firepower was good, it would be possible to show a fire show, but since it is a simple electric induction, it cannot be shown.

Still, I take care of cooking quality. Even if there is nothing to show and the dish is simple, just like a lion does his best to catch a rabbit, I don’t cook half-heartedly.

“Come on!!! Come try the stir-fried vegetables made with fresh Garden of Eden vegetables that arrived today!!! It’s crunchy and super delicious because there’s no meat!!!”

Eden shared the stir-fried vegetables I made in small paper cups and invited people to taste them. It was natural that there would be a lot of onlookers as Eden did it, and of course there were a ton of people tasting it, so I got busy as well.

And Eden wasn’t just offering tastings, he was also doing business like an employee. Not only is the product good, but Eden’s sales skills are also quite good.

“Mom, how about vegetables? They’re just stir-fried, but they’re delicious, right?”

“I see. Is it because it is a vegetable from the Garden of Eden?”

“There is that, but I used olive oil for cooking oil, and it was made by pressing olives from the Garden of Eden. It is very pure, good for health, and the price is reasonable. When you go home and cook stir-fry, if you put this around and cook it, the flavor will change, right? “

“Really? Then I guess I should buy one…”

“For your information, we are holding a two plus one event today to celebrate the opening!!!”

“Oh, then please give me 3!!”

“Thank you!!!!”

Thanks to this, business was so good that filling the shelves was a job. That’s the job of other employees, so it’s not something to worry about.

Although they are busy, they pay a lot of money and make them leave work on time during the four-day work week. Where can you find a job like this in these difficult times due to the employment crisis? Plus, if you don’t get into an accident, you’re guaranteed retirement, so you’re not envious of a civil servant.

Instead, if you do something that crosses the line, they won’t just sue you, they’ll tear you up. Why, if there is a person who causes trouble by spitting or causing hygiene problems while selling food, we will torture him until the words “Kill him” Come out of his mouth.

Anyway, after spending some time doing business, I sneaked up to the second floor. There were quite a few people on the second floor, but there were few people purchasing and most were just onlookers.

Well, you can’t kick out people like that. Doing so is no different from blocking non-paying users just because they don’t make money. There will be people who come to see and buy something, which will contribute to sales.

Although this supermarket was built without thinking about money, I still have no intention of pouring water into a bottomless tank because it is at a loss. So, we need to make at least a little bit of profit.

Considering the crowds of people when it opened, it seems like even 10,000 people out of 10 coming regularly would be enough to make a profit.

“Oh, mushrooms sell pretty well?”

“It looks like small portions of truffles are being sold out, and business seems to be going well.”

Truffles are extremely expensive, and the truffles from the Garden of Eden are the size of a human head and can be sold for billions of dollars at auction, so the price is so high that the average person can’t even see them, but they are not sliced ​​and divided into small portions.

Roughly in units of a few tens of grams, they were sold at the same price as regular truffles, so people with a moderately deep wallet bought them. I wonder if truffle prices would actually fall, but the market itself is different.

People who win at an auction and buy something are different because they are trying to show off and will not come to the supermarket and buy something like this. What should I say… I feel like what is sold at auction is a luxury item and what is sold at a supermarket is edible?

As a result, both will end up in the stomach, but the rich will choose the auction side. Because that’s the only place where you can get intact truffles.

And as evening fell, Eden was busy preparing for another event. Something happened, but it seems to be a lottery event.

“We will be holding a draw for customers who purchase more than 30,000 won. The prize is fairy tears!!!!”

“I don’t know what the odds are.”

“But anyway, we will select about 20 people.”

Eden sat down in a separate space on one side of the mart and gathered people. It seemed like it was an event that everyone knew about except me, so many people gathered.

Well, I only focused on opening the mart and signing the documents, but the detailed plan was made by Eden and Zion… Honestly, there was no way those two would ruin the mart business, so I trusted them.

“Well, hello everyone!!! The drawing time has finally arrived!!! The winning prize is fairy tears!!!!”

“Waaaaa!!!!”

“Choi Eden!!! Choi Eden!!!”

“Please let me win!!!! I want to drink fairy tears!!!!”

“Okay then, let’s go to the lottery!!!!”

There are a lot of people, so we chose 20 people. Actually, considering the probability, it wasn’t that high, but people were excited and shouted.

Because that’s what gacha is all about. Moreover, if you were to draw from a lottery machine running right in front of your eyes, you would be more nervous than you thought. For no reason, when you draw a gacha in a gacha game, not only does it tell you the result, but it also doesn’t show the effect you drew.

Anyway, 20 people were quickly selected. Twenty people, regardless of age or gender. Each person received fairy tears packaged in a stylish box, and in addition, they even received Eden’s autograph on the box.

“Today’s lottery is over!!!! We will be holding events periodically next time, so please come visit often!!!!”

The first day of the supermarket opening ended successfully. From next time, we won’t come and take care of it, but at least the atmosphere has been lifted, so business will be good. Of course, if there is a problem, I can contact you here, so we can handle it.

“Ah!!! The supermarket was fun too!!!! I’ll have to come again next time there’s a lottery!!!!”

“I’m glad you like it. I was worried there might be no truth.”

[He won’t come today. I don’t know what happens next.]

“The law of truth preservation!!!!”

“I wish there wasn’t such a rule, but I see it often while running a store, so I can’t deny it.”

Today we were there, so I don’t think the truth was there, but we won’t know as time passes. Finding out the truth from the first day of business is not as easy as you think. The truth is only a minority.

However, those few people have a huge influence in ruining the store. The way to resolve such issues is not laws or anything like that, but overwhelming violence.

Just for now, check out our store. There are no big or small truths that often came out before coming out, right? Since there was no reason to get drunk and start a fight with the boss, the truth is that violence is the answer.

“Eden, what will you do if the truth comes to the store?”

“Water knows the answer.”

[They say they will be waterboarded.]

“I won’t die because I’ll use purified water.”

[Isn’t that more vicious?]

“I’m trespassing into the Garden of Eden illegally, but I don’t think you should say anything about making alive mushrooms or bee food.”

Eden Mart is also open, and time passes quite quickly. It seems like only yesterday that I came out, but the weather has already reached fall. Maybe if it lasts a little longer, winter will come.

Soon, Ana will come to visit and Cheonma will also come… No, I ask that neither of them come at the same time. Come separately, please. Separately.

I thought he would come over during vacation, but Cheonma decided to come earlier than expected. He expressed his intention to visit Korea to the Korean government.

[Cheonma!!! Planned visit to Korea!!!]

[Is this due to Hyungje’s coming out?]

[What is the purpose of Cheonma’s visit to Korea?]

Ana would come around vacation time, but it was fortunate that Cheonma came early. At least I don’t think the two will ever meet.

… It felt a bit ominous, but leave that aside.

Usually, when a head of state visits, there are a lot of problems related to schedule, security, security, etc., But the opponent is a thousand people. Even though he is weaker than me, he is stronger than Eden now, and I don’t have to worry about being assassinated.

If you want to quietly assassinate the Heavenly Demon, you’ll need to bring a rod. Even Keter, Sion, and Kormar would have to use some strength to deal with a transcendental being of the level of a Heavenly Demon.

Thanks to this, safety and security issues can be minimized, so it takes less time to visit, and since I am there, it is easy to move around. However, I am curious as to what excuse they are coming for this time. What kind of hegemony issue is coming to East Asia in the future?

It may be a bit boring, but if we talk about politics, Korea, Japan, and the Sun and Moon God Kingdom are at the center of the current international position.

In terms of ranking, Korea is 1st, Ilwolshinguk is 2nd, and Japan is 3rd. It’s surprising that Korea is in first place, but there’s me, Keter, and Eden, and North Korea has fallen and is in the midst of unification, so it’s a bit noisy, but it’s economically booming.

The 2nd place, Sun Moon God Kingdom, is second to none because the Heavenly Demon takes care of it well. The 3rd place country, Japan, is already an advanced country because it prevented a typhoon thanks to Mr. Susanoo and also benefited from Eden’s activities, so it developed further and became ranked among East Asian countries.

This story wouldn’t be interesting if I told it too long, so I’ll end it here. Anyway, Cheonma visited Korea not long after. Numerous reporters gather around her and ask her numerous questions while filming her.

Oh, of course, if the Cheonma goes on a rampage externally, someone is needed to stop it, so at the request of the Korean government, I went to meet it and was there at the scene.

“Cheonma!!! For what purpose did you visit Korea!!!!”

“Did you come to Korea to meet Emperor Hung?”

“What do you think about the scandal with Hyungje!!!”

Among the reporters asking questions, some seemed to be asking questions as if their lives were not a waste, but Cheonma didn’t seem to care. Even as he comes, he makes eye contact with me and smiles.

It seems like she has become more feminine in the time I haven’t seen her… Who would think that she was a boy until a few years ago.

“The purpose of this visit to Korea…”

Then, the Cheonma said with a playful smile.

“Let’s just say we’re here for a war of words and a revenge match.”

What are you doing now?
