"Welcome to Mountain's Fragrance where cats love to hang out, Nya!"
Nathan sat on a table at the corner of the cafe while staring at Joseph sitting on the other side with a blank expression.
After staring for a long time, Nathan sighed, "How did the cafe turn into this?"
Joseph on the other side unhurriedly took a sip of his coffee before answering.
"Because of the curse from last time, some of the customers are also affected. Feeling that the cafe was giving them bad vibes somehow, a lot of our customers stopped coming."
Nathan thoughtfully said, "So that made them stop coming, huh."
"Yes, that is why I have to make some ways for us to attract new customers to our shop." Calmly said Joseph,
Nodding in understanding, Nathan looked around the cafe.
"But why did you have to turn the cafe into a maid and butler theme?" Asked Nathan with a weird look on his face.
"The only reason for that is because I have noticed that this kind of cafe is becoming quite popular." Joseph said, "In Pampanga just 2 hours away from here, there's a maid cafe that has been booming quite recently. Did you not see it on the news?"
Nathan shook his head, saying he did not see anything like that.
After hearing the explanation, Nathan stopped bothering lingering on the topic.
"Forget about that, you know better than me in running a business anyway so I'll just observe on the side."
Joseph's expertise is running a business so he knows what he's doing so Nathan doesn't need to be worried about the cafe.
Dismissing the topic, Nathan decided to talk about the real purpose that he went there.
"Anyway, the real reason why I came here today is to ask you if you know about Black Bear Gang." He nonchalantly asked,
"Black Bear Gang?" Joseph was confused, "The one that's been roaming around these days causing trouble almost everywhere they go?" he asked,
With an unsure look, Nathan said, "Not sure, I don't really know anything about them to be honest. But if they are causing trouble, it must be them."
Joseph wondered why Nathan was suddenly asking about the growing infamous Black Bear Gang.
Even though he was curious, he still kept his curiosity to himself lest he offend Nathan unknowingly by asking too many questions.
After thinking for a while, he just told Nathan what he knows about the Black Bear Gang as well as the recent exploits of the group.
Nathan just listened without much thought in his head.
Soon after, Joseph talks about the place where the gang is using as a hideout.
"From what I heard, although it's not the exact location, the Black Bear Gang's base is located near the outskirts, not far from the location where we went last time. Roughly around that part."
After hearing that, Nathan nodded his head and stood up from his seat.
He looked at Joseph and said, "Thanks for the info, I'll have to go now as I still have some things to do. Next time I come, let's talk about the vacation outing that I talked about with the employees last time."
With that said, Nathan left the cafe, planning to head towards the said location of the Black Bear Gang.
Entering his car, Nathan took a deep breath and stepped on the accelerator.
Since he doesn't know the exact location of the Black Bear Gang's base, Nathan drove around the outskirts a few times.
While doing so, he also used appraisal on the people that he passed by to know whether they are members of the gang or not.
10 minutes later, there were still no signs of the gang around.
Because of that, Nathan decided to stop his car on the side of the road for a while.
Looking outside, Nathan sighed, "Hais… just where the hell is that hideout that Joseph told me about."
He took his phone out and decided to do something else for now since it seems like driving around mindlessly will just be a waste of time.
Opening the tycoon app, he excitedly said, "Instead of wasting my time, I should just go and grind some more Null Energy Stones that I can use to make more Null Fruits."
The last time that Nathan tapped was just the other night for the sake of making some Null Fruit.
At that time, he was able to tap 1,024 times per second.
And that was still when he only had level 10 physique.
From his experience so far, Nathan knows that every time his physique levels up, his whole body is affected and will double in power and everything.
He just started from being a skinny boy lacking in nutrients, then with the help of the Body Enhancing Pill that he first received as a system reward, he was able to level up, doubling his body's overall capabilities.
And now, he already has a level 20 physique which is multiple times that of when he first started.
Thinking of that, a glimmer shone from Nathan's eyes.
"Since it doubles every time, by now I can tap 1,048,576 times per second!"
He was able to calculate it immediately because of his sharp brain that has also improved thanks to the enhancement brought by his level 23 spirit.
At the same time, Nathan's tapping speed can also be used as a reference to show just how much is his current strength.
Anyway, Nathan was now focused on the thoughts of tapping and without wasting anymore time, he immediately started.
+2

[Error!]
….
Just as Nathan was tapping happily, a sudden error notification appeared on the screen of his phone, coloring everything in red.
Surprised by it, he immediately stopped tapping and stared at it.
With a confused face, he muttered, "Eh? What's the matter?"
After he stopped tapping on the screen, another notification appeared, but this time it was not on the phone but directly into his eyes.
[It was detected that the host has reached the tapping per second limit of the system. It is an achievement worthy of celebrating, a reward will be given to the host!]
