After suppressing the urge to hang the “Master of Hair Growth” signboard, Mag threw the signboard into a corner on the third floor, settled himself, and went down for breakfast before sending Amy to school.
When he left, Mag took special notice of the ratio of bald customers lining up outside. He took a quick glance and saw that there were only two middle-aged balding customers in the line other than Adams when balding people could be seen so often around.
“Hair loss is such a depressing problem.” Mag sighed and pedaled on the bicycle as he sent Amy to school.
As he passed by Find All Job-Finding Service, the owner of the place, Crease, happened to be watering the plants outside.
“Goodmorning, Mr. Nest,” Amy greeted with a smile.
“Good morning, Little Boss,” Crease replied a little helplessly as he looked up.
Mamy Restaurant had already become the hottest restaurant in Chaos City during this period of time, so he had also gone over to try the food there once. Although the job-finding service brought in quite a lot of income for him, he still could not bear to fork out a few hundred or a few thousand copper coins for a meal, so he had only gone over once.
Mag also smiled and nodded at Crease. His gaze was on Crease’s head for a while. What a perfect balding person. It would be perfect if he could go over to have ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ just once.
“Ding! System warning. Do not actively approach customers, otherwise it will be considered going against the rules, and that will amount to immediate failure!” Before Mag could even say anything, the system’s voice already sounded in Mag’s head.
“System, isn’t that too much? Basic advertising doesn’t go against trading rules. What rights do you have to say that I’m not allowed to promote my products?!” Mag frowned.
“Host, as a candidate for the God of Cookery, how can you do things like soliciting customers? This is not to be expected of someone your level.”
“Are you looking down on women who make their keep with their own bodies?” Mag said seriously. “What did they do wrong? Aren’t they also working for their keep?”
“I remember that there was a little alley where a lot of young ladies lived back in the day. They would always stand at the door to chill, and they were very welcoming. They would always invite me to their house to play. What wonderful young ladies. But because there were too many people who wanted to make the place rise to become a big city, the alley was gone, and so were the welcoming young ladies. Tell me, is this right?” Mag continued.
“Isn’t welcoming a word with positive connotations in the human language, system? Why then would they be chased away?
“System searching…
“No information in the database…
“No answer to the question. Engaging machine learning mode!
“System learning in progress…”
Mag was still waiting for the system’s reply when the string of words floated across his mind.
What a knowledge-seeking system. Mag raised his brow. No one knew how long it would take the system this time.
“Mr. Nest, why don’t you eat the ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ from our restaurant?” Amy already asked curiously before Mag could say anything. “That way, your hair will be able to grow out!”
Hair will be able to grow out! Crease’s eyes lit up immediately. He looked at Amy in surprise, and said, “Little Boss, is that true? After eating that ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’, my hair will be able to grow out?”
“Yes. There are already a lot of uncles and big brothers without hair who started growing hair after eating the ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ from our restaurant.” Amy nodded, and added, “But Mr. Nest, you have to come at night because the ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ is only available at night.”
“Alright, alright, alright! I will definitely go!” Crease nodded quickly. If there was anything in this world that he cared about more than earning money, it would be the fact that his hair was thinning.
As he watched the bald patch at the crown of his head expand and treasured the remaining hair he had left every day, the sudden news of being able to solve his problem was really a surprise to him.
Mag looked at Amy, who had already closed the deal, in shock. He did not think that Amy had already done it without him saying a word. It seemed like this little fellow was pretty good at business.
Judging from Crease’s eagerness to go to Mamy Restaurant, this customer could basically be counted in the hair-growing group. Mag continued on towards Amy’s school on his bicycle.
As he walked Amy into the school, Mag could immediately see a few bald and balding heads. This was indeed the place for bookworms, especially the College of Physics. There were a few youngsters with obvious receding hairlines engaging in a heated debate as they shook their heads and their hair flew everywhere.
“This place is brimming with potential.” Mag’s eyes lit up. It was a pity there was no College of Computer Science here. Otherwise, he would probably just need to shout at the entrance of the college, and the students and teachers there would fill the entire restaurant.
Mag already thought of a backup plan.
The moment Amy entered the magic classroom, Krassu smilingly said to her, “After some discussion with Urien, we have decided that since little Amy wants to go on a break so much, we will give you a long holiday. Five days before and after Peace Day, so it will be a total of 10 days.”
“Really?!” Amy’s eyes lit up instantly.
“Of course. When did I ever lie to you?” Krassu nodded with a smile.
“Thank you, Master Krassu!” Amy pounced into Krassu’s embrace all at once, and then turned back to look at Mag as she happily said, “Father, I can go on a holiday too!”
“Mm-hm. Amy is going on a holiday too,” Mag said with a smile. It seemed like Krassu and Urien were very concerned about what Amy wanted. Although she could not go on a 30-day-long holiday like normal students, a 10-day holiday was good enough.
When Mag returned to the restaurant, it was soon the time for breakfast operating hours.
The news of Adams sending the signboard over soon spread quickly, and the rumor that ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ could cure hair loss was once again proven to be true, which became a topic for discussion.
Everyone knew a person or two going through hair loss problems. Since there was such a cure available, it would be highly recommended even if it was a little more expensive.
After the morning operating hours, Mag brought the lounge chair out since the weather was quite good. He laid it out and got ready to take a little nap while basking under the sun.
“Mr. Mag, I hope I didn’t disturb your rest.” Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded.
Mag opened his eyes and sat up. He looked at Gloria and shook his head with a smile, saying, “It’s alright. I just lay down. Do you have anything for me?”
“Yes, there is something that I want to hear your opinion on, so I came so abruptly and disturbed you.” Gloria nodded.
“Then let’s sit over there to talk. I’ll get a pot of tea.” Mag stood up and motioned Gloria to seat over at the side while he turned to walk into the restaurant.
