God-Tier Like System

Chapter 240 A Competitor

“Their items are sold at 100 each! For example, the soup is 100, and even the buns and dumplings are 100 each, which is dozens of times more expensive than ordinary buns!” Jules and Frances exclaimed at the same time upon hearing Christopher’s question. Christopher immediately shook his head. They sold everything for 100, and even the buns were 100 each. Needless to say, the restaurant on the opposite side was very bold—even bolder than Christopher. His Beauty Soup and Instantly Handsome Pie were genuine goods sold at a fair price. They were obtained from the Thumbs-Up System for 150,000 points, which could actually make men and women more good-looking. Just based on Frances’ statements alone, Christopher knew that the Super Thumbs-Up Restaurant wasn’t as impressive as they appeared. They must have been able to steal so many customers from his restaurant because of their prices! After listening to Jules and Frances’ exclaims, not only was Christopher not angry, there was even a faint smile on his face. He then walked up to Madilyn and said, “Madilyn, make a store announcement. Tomorrow, the prices of the Beauty Soup and the Instantly Handsome Pie will be increased by another 1,000, so today is the last day on which the price is 1,000!” Ever since Christopher helped settle Madilyn’s father’s medical expenses, her father’s condition had stabilized. Yesterday, Christopher asked her to take a day off, but she still came to work today. Madilyn, Jules, and Frances weren’t the only people who heard Christopher’s declaration. The remaining dozen or so customers had looks of astonishment on their faces. Is the boss crazy? In the first place, Thumbs-Up Restaurant lost many customers because their prices were too expensive. Now, instead of lowering the price, the boss was doubling it. What is he trying to do? Christopher noticed their stunned expressions, but he didn’t explain. From his point of view, even selling this soup that only he had in the entire world at 1 million wouldn’t be an exaggeration. He only sold it at 1,000 to get thumbs-up points. It turned out that the price of 1,000 was still acceptable to many people, which was why his thumbs-up points were constantly increasing. Nevertheless, it was different now. He had a competitor, and they were an imitation of his restaurant. Since they lowered the price, he would increase it instead. He wanted those who went to the other restaurant because of his high pricing to regret it.When the time came, they would naturally understand the difference between spending 100 on an ordinary bun and 1,000 on a soup that could actually make them handsome or beautiful. As for the All-Cure Soda and the Longevity Dumplings, Christopher had never seen them in the Thumbs-Up System, but he had seen the Body-Building Buns and Life-Extending Dumplings before. When many of the people who just came to the Thumbs-Up Restaurant saw the Super Thumbs-Up Restaurant and heard what Christopher said to Madilyn, a look of contempt suddenly appeared on their faces. “The boss is crazy, right? Selling it for 1,000 didn’t work, yet now that there’s a competitor, he’s selling it for 2,000?” “Wanting money has driven him to the point of madness. 2,000 for a serving of soup? Will anyone even drink it?” “He must be messing with us! Come on. Let’s go to the Super Thumbs-Up Restaurant. This boss is crazy!” Those people immediately waved their hands, then sighed and shook their heads before going to the opposite side. In just a short while, the number of people at the Super Thumbs-Up Restaurant suddenly increased. “Jules, help me remember the people who ridiculed me just now. Even if they kneel and say they want to buy my soup in the future, don’t let them in,” Christopher said lightly, his expression remaining rather void of emotion. When Jules heard Christopher say that, he hurriedly nodded as he thought, Those few people who had just spoken really don’t know what’s good for them. Do you think Christopher is a good-tempered person? How naive! Without much hesitation, Jules asked two attendants to remember the faces of those few people. They even took photos to make it easier for them to refer to next time. After all of that was done, Christopher cooked more Beauty Soup and Instantly Handsome Pies. As there were fewer customers today, he got fewer thumbs-up points. After buying the Ultra Duplicator yesterday, the amount of thumbs-ups Christopher owned disappeared almost immediately. He still had about 2,000 points in the system, so he had pretty much returned to his poor state. However, Christopher wasn’t worried. With those two dishes and the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup, his points would increase sooner or later. As for publicity matters, he wasn’t worried at all.Originally, Christopher wanted to give Madilyn a replica of the 10-second Instant Pot today, because he could be considered a savior to her, and she was someone who knew to return a favor, so he wasn’t concerned that there would be problems. However, there were now relatively few staff in the store. Christopher was afraid that Madilyn would be too busy, so when he reclaimed Brandon’s company, they would send staff over, and everything would be settled then. Today, the Thumbs-Up Restaurant received almost 5,000 thumbs-ups. Just as he was about to close the store, there was the sound of motorcycles at the entrance of the restaurant. Vroom! Vroom! Vroom! Producing ear-splitting sounds, more than a dozen motorcycles drove up from a distance. All the motorcyclists were wearing all-black racing suits and helmets. Thump! The people on the motorcycles held black iron rods in their hands as well. The length of the rods was about 50 centimeters each, and when it hit the ground, it produced a sharp sound. Christopher frowned as he looked at those people, who were obviously up to no good. Lately, he had indeed offended a lot of people, but he didn’t know who sent this group of people over. The person on the motorcycle up front had a look of mockery in his eyes. He sneered, then slowly took off his helmet. When Christopher saw the man’s face, he froze. The one leading the group of troublemakers at the Thumbs-Up Restaurant was none other than Big-Ear, the person who begged Christopher for mercy at The Serenade. He found it hard to believe that Big-Ear had come here. It seemed like Big-Ear had quite a lot of men working for him. There wasn’t the slightest hint of panic on Christopher’s face as he asked faintly, “Big-Ear? What, now? Are you trying to reclaim the place?” There were a lot of gangsters in the Southwest District, and Christopher didn’t know how many there were, but since Big-Ear had come to him, he’d be seen as weak if he didn’t teach him a lesson. It just so happened that he could use this opportunity to give Big-Ear a ruthless beating as a warning to the other gangsters, and it could also save Christopher from future troubles.
