A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World (WN)

Chapter 962 System, Are You Taking Revenge On Me?

“According to the system’s evaluation, this part of income is the host’s unexpected windfall. According to international laws, a 20% windfall tax must be paid. The value after tax deduction is 252,000,000 copper coins. In order to prevent the host from loafing around, giving up on the dream of being the God of Cookery, and choosing to live off that money, this amount of money can only buy 0.5 strength,” the system voice said.

“Scram! Do you think you’re the world’s policeman? Why are you poking your nose into other people’s affairs? You’re just a cuisine system, but you’re even collecting windfall tax from me.” Mag pouted. This system is getting more and more shameless.

“Also, 315,000,000 copper coins just to buy 0.5 strength? Why don’t you rob someone instead? Why should I be discriminated for the money I got with my abilities?!” Mag was a little displeased.

“The host should take note that the money was obtained with your daughter’s abilities. It basically has nothing to do with you. The system is terribly sorry for your behavior of leeching off your daughter,” the system said righteously.

“I…” Mag opened his mouth, but realized that the system seemed to have made some sense. Amy did earn this money with her own abilities.

“I got my daughter with my abilities. Why can’t I leech off her!” Mag retorted after he quickly persuaded himself.

System: “…”

“System, are you in desperate need of money?” Mag asked with a grin after he calmed down.

“The system… is in a little need of money recently.” The system’s voice weakened by more than half in an instant.

“Just say you’re in need of money, then. Seriously, we’re so close. You can take all the money,” Mag said generously.

“Really?” The system’s voice trembled a little.

“Of course. Why would I lie to you? Just give me around 20 points every month as interest.” Mag nodded with a smile.

The system fell silent for a while before howling, “Host! You’ve completely gone off the range of a loan shark! This is extortion!”

“Don’t be so agitated. Aren’t we both willing parties? I didn’t force you. Look at how beautiful these gemstones are. Once we sell them, they will become shiny gold coins. How much fertilizer can we buy with that? How many greenhouses can we build with that? When we harvest those vegetables, they will all become money that will be way more than the interest,” Mag continued to say with a grin.

The system fell silent again.

“It’s alright if you don’t want to borrow it. I can just leave it in the safe. There’s nothing much to spend the money on anyway,” Mag said nonchalantly.

“Erm… Host, can you lower the interest a little? Isn’t 20 points a little too high? That’s completely against the market rules,” the system said meekly after a long silence.

“System, listen to yourself. Have you seen a loan shark abide by market rules? Although I’m a novice, I still need to have professional ethics,” Mag said with a smile.

“Host, that’s being ungrateful! I waived off a month’s interest for you when I launched the Elephantpay. Even when you didn’t manage to reach the credit limit, the interest was only four points!” The system was filled with indignation.

“Hmm, no problem. I’ll also give you an interest-free credit limit of 5000 and waive off four months’ interest for you. That’s a bigger discount than yours, right? However, the rest of the money would still be calculated based on a 20% interest rate,” Mag said with a smile.

The system fell silent once again.

“Give it a good thought. Of course, if you have any new ideas on the price of the strength, you can always talk to me,” Mag said with a chuckle. He stood up and walked into the kitchen, getting ready to give Firis and Anna some pointers.

“Ding! New mission: Capture a Fiery Pig within 48 hours. Location: Red Dragon Island! Mission reward: One set of red braised pork recipe. Mission failed: deduction of one strength point.”

Just then, the system’s voice rang in Mag’s head.

Mag paused in his steps, and asked, “F*ck, System, are you taking revenge on me?!”

“Please do not misinterpret the mission. You will get your reward if you complete your mission quickly, and you will be punished for not taking part in the mission enthusiastically,” the system said.

“Fine, fine, fine, I’ll go, alright?” Mag pouted. He was rather interested in red braised pork. As a traditional delicacy, it was fat yet not greasy, and the meat was fragrant and succulent. It could be considered one of his favorites. Just thinking about the taste of having it with a spoonful of thick soup with rice made his mouth water.

Red Dragon Island. There were three red dragons that just died at Mamy Restaurant today, and now he had to go to their property to catch a pig. That would seem like he was trying to pick up a fight.

However, Shirley mentioned that there was only one 10th-tier giant dragon in the red dragon tribe. If he brought Ah Zi along, even if he was unable to beat them, it should not be a problem running away.

The problem was that the dragon islands were all not too far apart. If the commotion was too big, he might attract the attention of the other giant dragons.

After all, he was now tagged with the name of a dragon killer. It would not be too nice to stand out too much.

Tomorrow happens to be a rest day. It seems like I have to make a trip to Dragon Island, Mag thought to himself. He was not overly worried. In fact, he was even a little excited.

He had long heard that the Dragon Islands were an archipelago made up of many hovering islands. The giant dragons in Norland Continent all lived there. Each tribe had their own island, and the more powerful the tribe, the closer the tribe’s island was to the center, and the larger the area of their island.

Mag could no longer be bothered about whether the system was trying to take revenge on him. Everyone would have a temper. The more exasperated it was, the better he felt.

He would drive the system to its grave and overthrow it to become the owner.

Mag walked into the kitchen. Firis happened to finish making a kebab. She looked at Mag nervously, and said, “Boss, can you try my beef kebab?”

“Are you confident?” Mag looked at the beef kebab in Firis’s hand with a smile. The well-marbled beef was just taken out of the grill, and was still sizzling as the fragrance wafted over. Just from the appearance, it was near perfect.

Mag, who was a little surprised, took the beef kebab and bit into it. The taste of the beef spread in his mouth, making his eyes light up.

Firis’s beef kebab is very close to perfection in terms of taste and texture. She’s just lacking a little in terms of controlling the heat. However, if a better grade beef was used, this flaw could be overlooked, and she can already take over my position in making beef kebab.

“Well done. It’s already at a standard where you can serve it to the customers.” Mag nodded with satisfaction.

“Sister Firis is awesome.” Anna clapped her little hands.

“Really?” Firis was still in a little disbelief.

“Yes. I didn’t think that you would improve so much in just a few days.” Mag nodded with a smile.

“I had a dream last night, and in my dream, I kept making beef kebab. When I woke up today, I remembered everything in the dream completely, so I could make it today…” Firis said shyly.

I almost forgot the ‘test field for the God of Cookery’ chance that the system gave her. Mag seemed to have understood what had happened.
