The rows of text hovered in front of Noa.

'It's good. Sounds like a tasty addition to my diet. And I can easily market them and see their effect imdiately,' Noa considered.
He liked this option for two different reasons.
But before making a decision, he wanted to examine other products as well. With that in mind, Noa picked the Resistance Bands.
{Voidpull Bands}
Description: Modeled after a Void creature's muscle tension.
Features: Temporarily boosts explosive powers; refines body control and boosts agility.
Rarity: Rare

It wasn't a bad product, but it lacked the spark Noa felt with protein shakes. It was more aid at gym rats who wanted to flex their muscles.
Not that he had any problem with that, but Noa wanted to add sothing unique to this world.
The next item might have been the thing he was looking for.
{Dragonsoul Cube}
Description: An ancient puzzle designed to sharpen the mind
Features: Enhances ntal and soul resilience; helps soul cultivation and control precision; auto-adjusts the difficulty based on the user.

Now this was what Noa was looking for. It was flashy, had unique features, and stood apart from everything else in this world.
Still, he wasn't hasty in selecting any of them.
Noa spent a good two minutes visualizing each item based on the description and considering how they would affect his plans. But no matter how much he thought, the answer didn't change.

Not much was changed from his status window. Even the Tycoon Points rested at the sa amount. After Noa spent 2 TP on the Eyes of the Future, he gained two more back, bringing his total to five.
As for the missions, they appeared to be in good condition.
And based on Noa's prediction, one or two days would be more than enough to complete them.
Then, without a hint of hesitation, Noa tapped the screen before him. It lit up, shifted colors, and emitted a cheerful "Ding!" sound.
Seeing how the system behaved and added two new products to his available list deepened his smile.
{Naless Store}
{Employees: 0}
{Items Currently on Sale: Shampoo; Fidget Spinner; Protein Shakes (New!) Rubik's Cubes (New!)}
{Floors: 1}
{Rooms You Currently Own: 3}
{Click to customize and reconstruct them according to your vision.}
Noa made a sound decision. He selected both of the options he liked and didn't regret it one bit.
Though he was left with zero TP, and he had to collect more to add another floor, filling the empty shelves was his current number one priority.
The philosophy about Tycoon's boldness persisted.
After those products were added to his system interface, they also blinked into existence.
A stack of Rubik's Cubes appeared neatly arranged beside the shampoo bottles. Nearby, containers of Protein Shakes materialized with a faint luster.
The forr had clearly written labels in swirling calligraphy that said, "Delicious Vital Essence." It was a bit tacky, but easily noticeable nevertheless.
Noa didn't waste his ti. His hand-eye coordination had never worked this seamlessly when he grabbed the bottle.
With a simple twist, he popped the cap open and tilted his head back. He swallowed the smoothie down and finished it in a few gulps. "It's great!" he exclaid and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
Then he glanced at the empty vial with a thoughtful expression and sighed.
"I want another one."
Though he wasn't scoring any direct benefits from it, what more could he do when the shake was this delicious?
A few seconds later, the sa thing happened. He emptied the bottle and tossed it into the garbage bin next to the counter.
"I never knew cocoa and banana tasted so good."
The taste was so good that it increased his ntal capacity. At least, that was what Noa felt at that mont. "I should use this opportunity and sell them. With this heavenly taste and effect, I am sure they will eat it up."
A playful grin danced on his face when the system called him out.
[Host, good job! I really like your choices. Especially the courage you just showed. As a Dinsional Tycoon, you should always take risks. I might even reward you if you one day gamble your fortune away.]
The last sentence sounded like a joke. A tempting one, but a joke nonetheless.
Noa snorted at the system's robotic voice. Even the familiar ramblings beca a big part of his routine.
Thankfully, he had a new toy to check.
The Rubik's Cube looked like an ordinary toy Noa had seen countless tis before. But after turning it in his hands with mild curiosity, he felt its weight.
"It's heavy," he muttered.
It wasn't the only thing that differed this cube from the others. It also had rough edges, and its colors had slightly paler shades.
Noa twisted it in his hand. From one direction to another, trying to align the colors.
For a mont, he felt how his concentration increased, as even the world silenced and darkened itself. His fingers moved instinctively, moving the squares with silent precision.
However, after a few turns, Noa frowned and put the cube on the counter.
There was sothing even more unexplainable about this puzzle that Noa couldn't figure out. But he knew how to solve it before.
He had spent hours playing with them in his childhood.
Yet, no matter how much he struggled, the colors never aligned according to his calculations.
