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

Chapter 454 - It’s Bigger Than Yours



Chapter 454 It’s Bigger Than Yours

“I can add one more copper coin to that price; that’s my limit.” Mag didn’t even hesitate for a split second.

“Deal!” the system spat through gritted teeth.

“Then go ahead.” A faint smile appeared on Mag’s face. 500 gold coins was not a small sum, but he would gladly spend that much to build a playground for Amy.

“Ding! 500 gold coins and one copper coin have been successfully deducted! Construction of the purple dream kingdom will now commence. The construction will take three minutes!

“Ding! The restaurant’s upgrade is complete! Congratulations, the restaurant has been upgraded to level two!

“The upgrades comprise of the following: one, omniscient door—ability to gather information on all beings coming into the restaurant, including but not limited to their bust, waist, and hip measurements, gender, power level, physical condition, etc.; two, the outdoor dining area will be set up with 16 seats available; three, a super high-quality surround-sound system has been installed, and you can purchase music from the system to be played, thereby enhancing the dining experience; four, the restaurant’s defense systems have been upgraded to level four, allowing the restaurant to resist all physical and magical attacks at and below the 4th-tier.

“Aside from hardware upgrades, a series of rights has also been unlocked as a result of the upgrade. These include: one, all kitchenware purchasing rights have been unlocked, so you can purchase any kitchenware at the system’s stipulated prices; two, the right to experiment on dishes of your own choice has been unlocked; three, the right to teach others to cook has been unlocked, but the number of trainees is restricted to an upper limit of two for now.”

The system’s voice sounded.

Mag paused for a long while to process all of the information that the system was throwing at him.

“Holy f*ck, you installed a sound system, but I have to buy CDs from you? What kind of shady arrangement is this?” Mag immediately identified the most farcical point.

Playing some soothing classical music could make the customers more relaxed, and contribute to the more enjoyable dining experience, but that clearly wasn’t the extent of the system’s intentions. This was like selling someone a rice cooker, but not giving them any rice. It was a completely shameless way of doing things.

“Please watch your words. Any piece of iconic music is a manifestation of its creator’s blood, sweat, and tears. Countless time and effort have gone into each piece, and many musicians sacrificed their entire youth to create such brilliant compositions. Don’t you feel obliged to acknowledge their efforts by purchasing the genuine versions of their music?” the system urged.

“I do support purchasing genuine versions of music. Those people who claim that they love music but buy pirated versions of compositions are absolutely disgraceful.” Mag put on a serious expression as he said, “However, there are many websites that offer access to genuine versions of music for free monthly subscriptions. How much are you going to charge for a monthly subscription?”

“The system will not be providing any free music, nor any monthly subscription service!” the system replied.

“Also, this is an alternate world! How can you measure an iconic song’s worth here according to prices on Earth? An iconic composition is priceless in this world!” The system’s voice was becoming quite vehement.

“Then how much do you plan on charging per song?” Mag asked.

“At least… 10 gold coins per song?” The system’s voice was a little uncertain.

“Didn’t you say that they were priceless?” Mag pursed his lips with a hint of disdain.

“Priceless is just an adjective to describe very high prices. There are many items that are known as priceless treasures, but once they’re put up for sale, a price tag will inevitably be pinned onto them. Thus, the price for these priceless pieces is 10 gold coins per piece.” The system provided an explanation.

“These are songs that you can download for five bucks, but you’re selling them to me for 1,000 each; do you think I’m stupid?” Mag rolled his eyes, and as he went downstairs, he asked, “Setting aside the music thing for now, I’m more curious about what this omniscient door is. I can understand assessing someone’s power level and physical condition, but why their three measurements and gender? Are there ladyboys in this world as well?”

“Do not underestimate how sinister this world is. You could see a woman and think that she’s quite beautiful, but she could pull something that’s even bigger than yours out of her pants!

“Something like that is possible even in this world, and the omniscient door’s gender identification feature can easily prevent that from happening. As for the three measurements, that’s an extra reward. Of course, if you feel like they’re unnecessary, the system can switch off those two features,” the system replied.

The system’s words planted a mental image in Mag’s mind, and a chill ran down his spine as he hurriedly waved his hands, and said, “I don’t know what this so-called reward is supposed to be, but there’s no need to get rid of those two features. Just don’t display everyone’s three measurements under normal circumstances.”

“Alright,” the system replied.

Mag continued to make his way downstairs. According to what the system had told him, not only had there been some hardware upgrades, some rights had also been unlocked. From this day forth, he could experiment with dishes that weren’t on the menu.

However, the diversification of the restaurant’s dishes was taking place at quite a fast rate, so he wasn’t planning on making any new dishes anytime soon.

What he was far more interested in was his new right to teach others how to cook. Yabemiya had always expressed her interest in cooking. She had never asked him to teach her, and had always tried to avoid looking while he was cooking, but she was very bad at hiding her actual thoughts.

“Perhaps I can teach Miya some simple dishes, like making ice cream and things like that. If she wants to learn the more complex dishes, I can slowly teach her those as well,” Mag murmured to himself as he came downstairs, and flicked on the light switch.

After the lights were switched on, he discovered that the restaurant didn’t appear to have changed much. The sound system was hidden, so Mag wasn’t sure what the sound quality and effect would be like.

A metal frame had been added to the restaurant’s doorframe, and it appeared to be a decorative feature, but Mag knew that that was the so-called omniscient door.

The effects of the door had yet to be assessed, but with the features that the system boasted, it should be able to give Mag some forewarning when powerful beings came into his restaurant, as well as present him with a better understanding of his customers.

He then opened the restaurant door and walked outside, upon which his eyes immediately lit up.

The patch of land in front of the restaurant was no longer vacant. There were four square tables and matching chairs positioned in an orderly formation, but those didn’t appear to be wooden furniture like the ones in the restaurant. Instead, they were all metallic, with a light brown coating of paint that gave them a woody look.

There was a small lamp with a black and white shell in each corner, and they were just bright enough to illuminate all four tables. Their light didn’t cross over each other’s, and produced a very warm and romantic atmosphere.

“Perfect.”

Mag nodded with a content expression.
