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

Chapter 1905: Affinity +1

After the afternoon operations, Mag glanced over from the entrance of the Delicacy Extravaganza, and saw a long line outside the seafood shop. Immediately, he felt relieved.

During the morning and afternoon operations, there were many customers inquiring about the stir-fried octopus in XO sauce.

Mag told them clearly that it was limited to the Delicacy Extravaganza, and everyone could go back home to learn it, or wait till next year’s Delicacy Extravaganza, where it might appear again.

It was a very sneaky but effective method.

On top of that, the octopus tentacle series dishes—other than the octopus balls—were all very simple and quick to make. Judging from the ever-increasing number of fans, it seemed like those dishes would soon become a common home-cooked dish in Chaos City.

It was so worth it to spend only a few copper coins to taste a dish that would cost a few hundred copper coins in a restaurant. On top of that, the taste would be similar. What a steal!

Of course, if the customers could profit from it, Mag, who sold the octopus tentacles, would never lose money from it.

On his way back to the restaurant, Mag was dragged away by the excited Hannah.

“I refuse—”

Before Mag could even voice his refusal, Hannah had already pulled out a thick gold pipe. She looked at Mag, and said excitedly, “Boss, we’ve succeeded. A high-quality seal pipe. It can withstand the high pressure of the steam. This will definitely not blow up.”

“Mm-hm. Not bad.” Mag studied the pipe closely and nodded. After that, he glanced at the different parts placed on the floor with a smile, and asked, “Almost done?”

“Mm-hm. We can start assembling the machine tomorrow. Boss Mobai found me a very skillful craftsman to help me with the assembly. There will be no problem for sure.” Hannah nodded happily. Although she had two dark eye circles, and was smeared with carbon and dust, they did not affect her beauty at all.

“I’ll make a trip there tomorrow,” Mag said. He was really worried about Hannah. This blueprint was provided by him. As long as the craftsmanship and sizes were right, there should be no problem. However, to be safe, he would still go over to take a look.

“That’s great.” Hannah smiled widely, revealing her two neat rows of teeth. The thought of remaking her self-brewed wine in Chaos City at an even bigger scale with a more advanced brewery made it difficult for Hannah to contain her excitement.

“It’s been hard on you, Boss Mobai and Lulu.” Mag greeted the two who were forging the metal parts in the workshop.

“Hehe, it’s not hard with Boss Mag’s Yangzhou fried rice,” Mobai said with a chuckle as he wiped his perspiration away.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . Fɪre

While they were rushing out the work for the past few days, Hannah had been the one bringing them takeaway food so that they did not have to line up.

“When we’re done with work, let’s gather for a few glasses.” Mag loved honest people. He did not further disturb them in their work, and returned to the restaurant.

There was information about Rankster from the Gray Temple in the study room. Rankster was once known to be the archenemy of Alex and the chosen one in the Frost Dragon tribe. There were many legendary stories about him.

Therefore, there was much information about him in the Gray Temple Informations department.

There were no traces or clues left behind with regard to the case of the broken Great Old One’s seal.

Meanwhile, Rankster had become the only point of breakthrough for it.

However, he had disappeared three years ago, and the only way was to try to find some related clues from all the information, which would take more than an hour to go through.

Mag did not find any relevant information to the Great Old Ones. Instead, he understood the whole of Rankster’s life.

He was indeed a tough character. He was an illegitimate son of the Golden Dragon tribe and the Frost Dragon tribe, and was not well-liked. Furthermore, he was seen as the lowest-class mix-blood dragon, but managed to be reborn in adversity. That was when he showed everyone what he was capable of. His hands were stained with blood from countless people as he climbed onto the throne of the Frost Dragon tribe.

If he was the main character, this story could become a very exciting drama on a passionate dragon king.

Rankster even lived in Chaos City for a period of time decades ago. However, there was no detailed recording, so he probably hid his identity back then.

This was actually very interesting. Decades ago, Rankster was already the chief of the Frost Dragon tribe. He was the person in power, and not a puppet of the elders.

He could have just assumed his identity. Why did he conceal himself and come to Chaos City?

“Is he dead, or is he trapped somewhere? Or maybe he was controlled?” Mag placed the information back into the box with a tightly-knit frown.

Judging from Rankster’s personality, it was impossible for him to be hiding somewhere.

“Unless… his current situation was somewhat like mine back then? He was also severely injured?” Mag suddenly thought of a possibility.

Rankster had made countless enemies, way more than Alex. There were even people from the Frost Dragon tribe who wished he was dead.

There were too many people who wanted him dead in this world. He could not allow himself to even be weak.

He had to protect his wife and children with his undying will.

Therefore, even though he had disappeared for three years with no news at all, and the Frost dragon throne had been empty, no one dared to do anything to Elizabeth directly.

“What a headache.” Mag stood up and scratched his head. He still could not find a way out.

“Ding!

“Congratulations for gaining more than 10,000 believers! Success in upgrading to Master Chef!”

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

Mag paused in his actions. He suddenly felt a miraculous power start pouring in from the top of his head. He felt as though his spiritual energy had increased. This felt like enlightenment, and it was very miraculous.

“Is this the power of a Master Chef?” Mag clenched his fists slowly. After a while, he rolled his eyes, and said, “Why don’t I feel anything?”

Although he did feel enlightened, Mag did not feel that there was any substantial increase in his powers.

“Please feel it with your heart. The power of a chef is not just a pure increment of strength. It will also be displayed in other aspects.” The System’s voice rang again.

“Could it be that I can flip dishes in the wok faster?” Mag cocked his brow. He did not really buy what the System said.

“Reward for Upgrade has been released: Affinity +1!” the System said again.

This time, Mag felt a cooling sensation at his crown. His slightly spiked-up hairstyle was pressed down by something, but he still did not feel anything.

“Just that?”

Mag’s brows were knit even tighter together. He felt cheated.

“Affinity is a form of charisma. It will also not display any obvious advantage or disadvantage to you physically,” the System explained.

“Then I’d rather someplace that should be longer grow longer.” Mag pressed his lips together. In any case, he felt cheated.

“If you don’t believe me, go outside and take a look.”

“Fine. I’ll go out and take a look. What’s the big deal.” Mag walked down the stairs, opened the door, and went out. A young lady was standing at the restaurant door, seemingly looking at the restaurant’s notice. The door opened outwards and caused a rush of air towards her, causing her skirt to… fly up.
