He sincerely admired and was amazed by the purchasing power of the startup funds and the hard work of Maya and her husband.

This area and location are already far ahead.

In Eden City, apart from the company-operated small shops, most of them survive in the cracks. Similarly, food-selling shops are either small stalls or just a window facing customers, with shelves and kitchens crammed inside, leaving little desire for people to take a closer look.

"We will definitely make money!"

John exclaimed with anticipation.

Gerry and Maya exchanged glances, smiled, hesitated, then scratched their greasy foreheads and said.

"Actually, we're still missing something."

The preliminary work of the shop was basically completed.

Over at the Radiant Dust Farm, they had already hooked up with the Wanderer. As a thank you, they were willing to supply John's little shop, and if they planned to expand the business later, they could continue to discuss costs and profits.

"We need a cargo vehicle, boss."

All of Gerry and Maya's savings were destroyed by the Rift Party, and they currently owe the bank a loan, with not a penny in their personal accounts. The apartment and their previous delivery vehicles were long seized.

"That's a minor issue."

"Maya said the same, to find some street punk who doesn't have eyes, or try their luck in a parking lot. If all else fails, go to the junkyard and see if there's a half-scrapped one, use it temporarily..."

Gerry suggested getting a vehicle through unconventional means.

But this would undoubtedly invite all kinds of retaliation. Resources and danger always coexist, and in the morally unbalanced streets, there's always some brutal troublemaker watching.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

John pulled a chair over, propping it up like a foam cushion under himself, and said to the two "employees" next to him.

"We're dealing with fresh food. Whether it's raw materials or cooked food, the profit margins are high, and there are many eyes on it, ready for robbery and accidents at any time..."

A nearly falling apart scrap car definitely won't do; anything that hits it can easily stop it in an alley for anyone to take advantage of.

John first thought of using the Jurassic ZT15.

But its internal space is insufficient, and he also needs an armored vehicle for his missions.

"I'll figure out the car, what else?"

"We also need some proper recipes."

Gerry originally came from a small food stall, with a pie recipe brought from Mexico. It's clearly not enough to support a shop. At the very least, there should be some food that the general public of Eden City accepts and sells well.

The pricing in the shop would certainly not be low.

Even in this bustling commercial district, it has to aim for a mid-to-high range, making the dishes and skills of utmost importance. Whether there's a need to hire chefs and assistants as well...

"It's up to you, boss."

Gerry and Maya simultaneously turned their gaze to John.

[Series Task Operator: Shop Front Preparation]

[Reward: Store Operation]

John required Gerry to learn to use a gun from his wife, at least to survive the street conflicts. As for whether to recruit mercenaries, chefs, employees in the future...

The shop can consider it once there's money.

[Task Goal Updated]

[Acquire a Cargo Vehicle. 0/1 (Not Achieved)]

[Enrich the Shop's Menu. (Not Achieved)]

John left the room and mounted his motorcycle, scratching his head.

As a mercenary accustomed to the battlefield, handling such a peculiar job was a first for him.

John thought about Mr. Vito's retirement party in two days, and this free time was just enough to handle matters.
