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

Chapter 1878: Father! I Am Back!

Mag didn’t sleep well that night. Apart from learning how to make Mapo Tofu, he was thinking about how to gain more fans for the rest of the time.

Weren’t those so-called believers fans if one used the more modern term for it?

Mag couldn’t help suspecting: if a belief could create a god, were those entertainment companies actually making gods secretly?

“The path to become a god on Earth has already been sealed. It’s no longer feasible, or else any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become one after practicing for two and a half years.” The system’s mocking voice rang out.

“However, their thinking is correct. In order to attract fans quickly, they need to have enough exposure. But the biggest problem in this world is there are no methods for high exposure…” Mag furrowed his brows tightly. He wouldn’t mind singing, dancing, rapping, and then debuting if there were TV and internet in this world.

However, it was barely the age of steam currently, and he could easily fall if he took too big a step.

The steam engine was still in the testing stage, so Mag couldn’t bring the TV and internet over haphazardly.

However, today’s live-stream teaching had given him some new ideas. Even though the alternate world’s technological advancements were behind the times, the magical developments sort of made up for the technological inadequacies. If used correctly, magic could even achieve the same effects as technology.

It was generations of hard work to get from video recorder to projector.

Add a transformation spell formation in between a photostone and a projectorstone, and a short-distance broadcast could be done. This was also the wisdom of the alternate world’s people.

However, the problem of long-distance transmitting wasn’t solved. Because of its huge size, it couldn’t be a family entertainment project.

Mag had already drawn three design plans for the magicvision before dawn, and started to build models for each one of them.

Because the images transformation system was already very advanced, Mag only needed to do an integrated optimization design to make the original gigantic system fit into a flat box.

Of course, he couldn’t do the optimization for the spell formation. What he had done was designing. He would leave the optimization to professional formation masters.

Let the professionals do what they were good at. This was the rationale that his dad taught him since he was young.

Mag already had a candidate to handle the magical optimization.

“Done!”

Mag happened to get the blueprint that was just printed out when the 6 am alarm clock rang.

Mag racked his brain with all he knew to come out with this system to let the people in the alternate world skip over the black and white film and TV, and step straight into the age of color TV.

Currently, he still couldn’t overcome the problem of broadcasting, so the first generation of magicvision could only be called a photostone projector. A specially made photostone could be placed in the reading slot, and the images recorded in the photostone could be played immediately.

This was nothing new. Many organizations and well-to-do families had that.

Therefore, Mag’s objective was to make every family have a magicvision, making it a common commodity.

Hence, he had to break through the price’s bottom line, and at the same time lower its threshold of operation, making the photostone DVD popular in the alternate world.

However, he wondered how would the people feel—many years into the future when everyone had a magicvision—when they discovered that the person who designed this wanted to make them watch a three-minute pre-installed commercial?Follow current s on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

After keeping the blueprint, Mag washed up, and went downstairs to make breakfast.

Coming up with the magicvision couldn’t be done in one day. Popularizing it and making it a necessity in every home was even a long-term affair.

Mag already had an idea on how to increase his influence in a short time to gain more fans after a night of thinking.

Today was a rest day, so he had told Irina and Annie last night to sleep in and wake up at 8 am.

Meanwhile, he went out on his bicycle, and rode straight to the Little Sys Seafood Shop.

“Boss Mag.” The Little Sys Seafood Shop was already open, and Alia greeted Mag with a smile when he walked in. The other shop assistants quickly greeted him too.

“Please do your thing and don’t bother with me.” Mag nodded with a smile before asking Alia, “How was business yesterday?”

“The number of customers buying octopus tentacles suddenly increased yesterday. We sold 1000 kg of octopus tentacles.” Alia couldn’t hide the excitement on her face. Compared to the first day’s business, yesterday’s business was fantastic.

“Hmm, it’s not bad.” Mag nodded. The booth at the Delicacy Extravaganza had sold over 2500 kg of octopus tentacles yesterday. He didn’t expect the seafood shop would get such great results too. He continued, “The restaurant won’t operate its booth today, but the seafood shop’s booth will go on. You will bring five employees to take over the seafood shop’s booth, and the rest in the shop will guide their new colleagues. Will there be any problem?”

“No. I have already briefed them yesterday. There will be no problem with the current customer volume.” Alia nodded in agreement.

Mag had asked Alia to get the 10 backup elves that day to the seafood shop and train them, making sure that Alia could take over the seafood shop’s booth while ensuring the seafood shop had enough manpower.

The Delicacy Extravaganza was still the Little Sys Seafood Shop’s greatest customers’ source. The seafood series dishes had to become dishes that everyone knew, and even become Chaos City’s famous dishes before the Little Sys Seafood Shop could achieve the spectacular achievements of everyone eating the Great Old One in Mag’s expectation.

Mag nodded slightly, and gravely said, “There are about 5000 kg of octopus tentacles in the refrigerator under the seafood shop’s booth. It should be enough for today. You just need to bring our people over.

“The human traffic at the Delicacy Extravaganza will be tremendous, and you will be very busy. You all need to anticipate that you will be working from 8am to 8pm. You will arrange the shifts for the next seven days.”

“Yes. I will make the arrangements.” Alia nodded seriously.

Mag left a few instructions before returning to the restaurant. He trusted Alia’s ability.

Irina and Annie came downstairs just as he finished making breakfast.

“I was about to go wake you two up.” Mag smiled at the two of them.

“We wake naturally when we smell the aroma.” Irina looked at the breakfast on the table. There was youtiao, soybean milk, and tofu pudding.

Annie showed a pure smile.

After breakfast, the door rang when Mag was preparing the home cinema system, and Amy’s cute voice could be heard. “Father! I am back!”
