Chapter 431: Start of the Permit Test
The very next day, the start of the Upperwood District Festival finally commenced. It was a weekend, so a lot of people had come out of their homes to celebrate this very joyous occasion. Even people not from the District came in droves, basically filling the streets with carriages and horses.
This was because the festival brought on lots of competition within the companies in the district, allowing for lots of discounts, special limited time items, and especially cool events that everyone can participate in.
The Quench company, for example, had a 20% discount on all of their kitchen utensils for the entire duration of the festival. This was something people had been waiting for all year round, so there were lots of people already lined up in their stores even before the sun had come up.
But this festival wasn’t just for the companies, it was also for the people. This was the only time they could relax and unwind, celebrating the culture of Metropolis with a lot of other people.
There were banners all around, with colorful triangular flags strung up high along the buildings, creating a very fun and festive mood for the people walking along the streets.
The Market Plaza was no different. In fact, the festivities had been boosted up even more. The wooden stalls from companies on their permit test had upgraded their stores to accommodate festivities just like the ones on the street, hoping that it would attract more customers. Now, whether that worked or not, was another conversation entirely.
While Otto and the others had already set up their stalls early in the morning, Michael hadn’t yet showed up at all.
They were getting worried for the rookie, thinking that his nerves got to the best of him and he ended up quitting the permit test entirely.
Of course, that was not true in the slightest.
With his Mobile Food Truck ready, Michael drove the vehicle towards the gates of the city, with the guards and other people looking at him with strange expressions.
"What is that?!"
