(401 - 600) Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 579 This is Fraud!

"The system is a super professional cuisine system, not to be used for things like designing clothes!" The system's resolute voice sounded.

"The new underwear I bought yesterday is quite comfortable. You're very talented in this area, system," Mag said internally with a smile.

"Of course! The system has incorporated designs from all of the best underwear in the world and created the ideal underwear which hugs the skin, but is breathable and constantly maintains a perfect temperature. Every time you put on underwear designed by the system..." The system immediately launched into a smug tirade.

"Tsk, tsk, looks like our super professional delicious cuisine system is also super professional at producing underwear. In that case, it shouldn't be an issue to sell a few clothes designs, right?" Mag interjected.

"Well... That's... not entirely non-negotiable. However, you have to uphold the most basic integrity as a businessman, and ensure complete fairness and transparency. You can't buy my designs from me then sell them for a higher price like you did with the tea leaves last time!" The system's serious voice sounded.

"Why does it matter what I do with the designs that you sell me?" Mag pursed his lips. However, a smile then appeared on his face as he said, "Of course, you do have a point. Let's set the price at 20 gold coins per design sketch and split it 50:50, so you get 10 and I get 10. Give me 1,000 of those sketches as a bulk package. Try to incorporate the best and most fashionable designs currently going around. At the same time, you have to incorporate the fashion elements of the clothing in this world to create the most exceptional designs."

"Ding! Deal. 10,000 gold coins have been successfully deducted!

"Ding! Concept sketches are being prepared; this process is estimated to take up to five minutes. Please give a final confirmation and verify whether you would like to add other designs into the package."

The system's joyful voice sounded.

"How about this? I'll get 800 women's clothing designs, 150 girls' clothing designs, and 50 boys' clothing designs." Mag contemplated momentarily before requesting, "System, you just deducted 10,000 gold coins from me in one go; give me 100 female shoe designs for free. Something like this must be extremely simple for a high-end system like you, right? We have to give them some benefits in this transaction."

"Ding! The order has been confirmed. 150 female shoe designs are being prepared free of charge." The system's voice sounded again.

"Good." A smile appeared on Mag's face as he turned back to Gloria, awaiting her response.

Gloria's mouth was slightly agape as she looked at Mag. She had thought that Mag was going to reject her, but he was giving her a huge surprise. To think that he would be willing to specially design a batch of clothing for her! But what was that about a cost?

It would be simple if he were referring to a monetary cost as she and Mars had already worked out in advance what they were willing to pay for the designs. But if he wasn't referring to money, then could he be asking her... to do something for him? After all, she had never seen his wife before... With that in mind, a blush appeared on Gloria's face as she struggled to rid herself of that train of thought. She turned to Mag, and stuttered, "M-Mr. Mag, thank you for your trust. If you can make designs for us, we will be willing to pay 100 gold coins per design."

After a brief pause, Gloria continued in a slightly embarrassed voice. "However, our textiles shop doesn't have much money at the moment, so I can only purchase five designs at most for now."

"I want to increase the price! What you proposed wasn't the market price at all! This is fraud!" the system roared in Mag's mind.

"System, our deal has already been confirmed. If you go back on your word now, it'll severely impact my trust in you. Integrity is vital for a businessman, and besides, this is only the price that she's offering; I haven't accepted it yet," Mag replied internally. 100 gold coins per design was certainly a show of Gloria's sincerity. She was making one final roll of the dice, bringing out the last reserves of money from the failing textiles shop to take a gamble. This was also quite a show of decisiveness and determination from the young beauty.
