The camera turned on a red light.
Mieum and Lime, who were bickering and running around the floor until a while ago, suddenly became quiet. They leaned on the cushion and turning their heads slightly, both of them seemed to be conscious of the camera.
On the contrary, Ash ran away to the corner, perhaps not wanting to be seen on the screen.
“Meow, meow.”
Mieum-ah, why are you suddenly crying out ‘meow meow’? Usually it was ‘waeoong’ or ‘waeooolg’.
Still, it wasn’t the right time to have this conversation.
“Yes, this is the menu…….”
The left arm and left leg went out at the same time. I introduced the menu with an awkward gesture.
I’m glad I have the ‘Smile‘ skill. Even though there’s a fault in my posture, my expression showed the perfect business smile.
“So you can look at the menu and order the menu that has the special effect you want.”
It was the first opening day when the formal registration process was completed in an instant and the embargo was lifted.
The Dungeon Management Office proposed filming an introduction broadcast to publicize accurate information about the cafe.
It’s a burden, but….
It’s important to give proper information at first. Think of it as a process you have to go through once you decide to reveal about the cafe. I accepted it with that kind of mind.
‘I had a hard time trying to stop Kwon Jiwoon from appearing on the broadcast….’
Today, reporters and several cameras rushed in to the cafe to film the first visitors.
The first customers to appear on the show was selected by lottery. They were three Hunters who seemed to be friends.
One of the customers who was looking at the menu with an excited expression suddenly asked.
“So what is the effect of this cold brew coffee? There’s nothing written here….”
“Ah. It’s random.”
“……random?”
“Yes. It’s a new menu that I made this time, and the type and amount of buffs applied are all random.”
The customers’ eyes seemed to sparkle and shine.
“Then I’ll have a cold brew.”
“I want a cold brew too.”
“Uh, I was going to have a cold brew too.”
The menu was unified in an instant. A reporter interrupted in a panic, probably because they wanted to film them ordering various menus for the broadcast.
“Wait, everyone…? There are a lot of different menus, are you not interested in this? For example, here, the caramel macchiato looks delicious.”
“No, you’re not a Hunter if you avoid a challenge.”
“Yes…? What does that have to do with the menu?”
“I accept this challenge!”
The reporter was forced to step down because of the stubbornness of the guests. I quickly made three cups of cold brew coffee and handed it to the customers.
“Wow! It’s real. A status window appeared, it said that this coffee gives random buffs.”
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
“Then let’s try it!”
The customers held a coffee cup in one hand and reacted as requested in advance in front of the camera.
It was awkward, but I was awkward enough, so there’s not much difference.
Immediately, customers drank all the cold brew coffee. They’re the prepared cast members so they didn’t forget to show their reactions that the coffee is delicious.
“…..! 80% increase in agility. Is this okay?”
“I have a 5% increase in Luck … It’s ruined, heung….”
Naturally, the gazes poured out to the last one. After drinking all the coffee, he briefly stared into the air to check his status window.
… and he roared.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa! 200% strength!”
“……!”
“Is that true? Wow, that’s awesome!”
The reporter who was watching these various reactions was also interested in cold brew coffee. They asked if they could try a drink, so I made it right away.
“Mmm, it’s rich in scent … it tastes clean even until the end. It’s really delicious … oh.”
“Reporter-nim, what di you get?!”
“Wow. It’s … my intelligence has increased by 800%.”
“……!”
“Wow, awesome…..!”
This was the beginning of the Great Hunter Gacha era.

“The person over there, you can’t film YouTube!”
“Ah, wait a minute, the phone … yes, this is Cafe Rieul. No, I won’t be appearing on TV anymore. What? You’re going to promote it as a good restaurant? Don’t say scary things.”
“Next number, please come!”
“Ten cups of cold brew coffee, please.”
“I can only sell up to two drinks per person.”
“Don’t you know that the national rule is to draw 10 consecutive draws? The owner has also tried it, right?!”
I’ve tried it a lot….
“Still, I can only sell up to two cups.”
“Ugh … then I’ll have two cups, please.”
The customer who received the cold brew coffee sat down at an empty table and emptied a cup. They clenched their fists and shouted while looking into the air.
“Please, please, please aaaaah!”
……………………..
It’s someone who’s crazy about gacha….
“Waeooong (I don’t think you have any rights to judge that).”
“Kkyuu!”
After the broadcast filmed on the first day was aired, drawing became a huge boom among the Hunters. Hunters flocked from the next day, and they began to order cold brew coffee one after another.
The popularity spread out of control as a Hunter, who hit a jackpot in the cold brew coffee draw, certified that he had killed the boss monster in a dungeon in one shot.
The challenge is to take out the cold brew coffee from our store and then drink it at the dungeon to test and certify the effect.
Of course, I also like to draw. I once ate only collaboration red bean bread seven days a week to get a free draw ticket.
But no matter how much … why is this so popular?
As a result, such videos and articles have taken over the internet.
━ [Unprecedented] 1000% Agility, Great Cold Brew Effect
━ I’m not good at lottery, but I want to catch the boss (edited version)
━ Cold Brew Draw Probability Verification Dungeon Speedrun Challenge with Draw Effect
I don’t know if I can say it’s peaceful, what to say….
There was also an article saying that the speed of dungeon raids has increased thanks to the popularity of the challenge.
I’m glad to hear that it has a positive effect … I didn’t know there are so many people who like to draw.
It was said that lottery was a bad civilization, but for the time being, there seems to be a long way off from the disappearance of lottery from the world.
Due to the popularity of the Cold Brew Coffee, I was tempted to summon Cthugha for a while and use him as a part-timer. Still, supplementing the labor force is not a fundamental solution to this problem.
I admitted that the relaxed YOLO life of the 5-day work-week system (※5 days off. This is important), which was my first goal after returning to the past, has already gone away. However, I couldn’t continue to be dragged around by these crazy lottery maniacs.
Here’s my status window at the moment.
[Name: Kwon Rieul
Class: Cafe Owner (F)(Lv. 17)
Stamina 140/140, Energy 140/140
Strength: 26 (+10), Intelligence: 21, Agility: 18, Luck: 19]
In the meantime, experience accumulated through cafe sales, and my level became 17.
Still, due to the low maximum energy, there was a limit to the amount that could be made in a day despite continuing to recover with coffee. For this reason, the sales method was changed by distributing numbered tickets to customers in advance.
If you submit a numbered ticket at your turn, you can purchase up to two cups per person. The cold brew coffee is also limited to one cup a day.
Other than that, if a Hunter, who entered through the ‘Connect Anywhere☆Mysterious Door‘ urgently needs recovery or buff, I decided to sell coffee to them regardless of the numbered tickets. The reason I decided to do this in the first place was because I wanted to help an injured Hunter. Urgent people come first.
Today’s last guest was Ju Noeul. She was with a party that seemed to belong to the Royal Guild.
“Oh! It’s finally our turn. Cold brew coffee … is already out of stock. Then I’ll have a cookie set, please. What about the guild leader?”
“I’m fine with Americano … more than that, Rieul-ssi, can I follow you on Instagram?”
“Ahaha, of course. I’ll follow you back.”
In the process of officially promoting the cafe, I unintentionally became quite famous. After the official cafe opening, the number of Instagram followers on my account, where I had posted a few pictures of coffee cups then forgot its existence, increased tremendously.
“Huh….?”
I was surprised when I opened the app to follow Ju Noeul’s Instagram.
There was a DM from Lee Chorok, a former dungeon-farm owner and current fruit store part-timer. The content was, “I will send you a Shine Muscat directly from the production area, so can you promote it on Instagram?”.
‘You’re doing well….’
It was a pity that the dungeon farm was closed, even though it was her fault. At least the fruit shop life seems to suit her aptitude.
After Ju Noeul went back, I checked my watch. It was time to distribute the numbered ticket.
“Ah, time’s up. Eat this and rest.”
After giving Ash the snacks, I headed to the front of the store with the numbered tickets I prepared in advance. There was already a long line of customers waiting to get a numbered ticket. Seeing so many people, I was deeply moved.
“Here’s the ticket. Thank you.”
I was handing out numbered tickets one by one in order.
Suddenly, I found someone I thought I’d seen somewhere. He was a middle-aged man with an ordinary impression, but the scarf pattern around his neck was unusual and drew attention. I saw him somewhere.
Ah, I remembered.
“Oh! You came to get a ticket yesterday too. You must really like coffee!”
It’s a little embarrassing to say with my own mouth, but … the numbered ticket distribution, which is conducted twice a day in the morning and evening, is currently quite competitive. It’s hard for even old regulars to visit every day.
I thought it was amazing to come for two days in a row, so I talked to him lightly.
“Ahem … what….”
Nod. The customer who took the numbered ticket shyly averted his gaze and left.
I looked at his back casually and realized a sense of incongruity a beat later.
Wait. That customer, he never came to buy coffee?
Did I not recognize him when he ordered coffee? It could be, but … it’s a bit uncomfortable.
Something similar happened again. Most of the customers who received the numbered tickets came to buy coffee. However, some people received the tickets for several days in a row, but I don’t remember seeing them at the cafe.
Is it simply that I was too busy to remember?
No. I thought that was not the case. There’s a reason for this.
“Kkyuuu…?”
“What’s wrong, waeeoong!”
“Darkness is encroaching on your side.”
Once I finished distributing the numbered ticket, I returned to the cafe. After finishing the closing and organizing the cafe, I accessed the Hunter Channel and searched for information about our store.
I searched by changing keywords, but what came out was only ordinary small talk, appreciation post, and challenge certification.
“Is it not here….”
“What are you looking at by yourself, waeoong!”
Just as I was trying to avoid Mieum, who interrupted me from the side, a plausible title caught my eye.
[Chatting] Cafe R Ticket number 10 sorry
“Ah. This is it.”
I clicked on the text right away, but I couldn’t read the contents.
