There was silence in the air.

Scheer and Mag looked at each other. Although they looked calm and collected, the atmosphere got increasingly awkward.

“Excuse me, I suddenly thought of a problem and I simply blurted it out. You know, smart people like us will think about several things at the same time.” Mag explained properly.

“I know, I know.” Scheer nodded with a smile. “I do that too.”

“Hahaha, I just knew that we are the same kind of people.”

“I-in that case, I’ll go back first.”

“Sure, I’ll see you out. Come and eat again when you’re free again.” Mag stood up.

“It will be great if I don’t have to line up.” Scheer replied, “Lining up is too much of a luxury for me.”

“I’ll call you when we have a gathering next time.” Mag nodded smilingly. “You earn millions in a minute, so lining up for a few hours to eat a meal is indeed a luxury.”

Scheer came out of the restaurant and pulled her down jacket closed. She quickly got into the horse-drawn carriage before heaving a breath of relief. She fanned her blushing cheeks with her hand. She couldn’t help laughing when she thought about her conversation with Mag.

Scheer propped her chin on her hand and thought curiously, “However, what was he rejecting? What was he thinking about earlier?”

“Young Mistress, are we going to the bank now?” asked the secretary.

“Mmm,” Scheer replied and the horse-drawn carriage drove away from Mamy Restaurant slowly.

Mag sat next to the window and watched Scheer’s carriage leave. He sipped from his teacup but his thoughts were already far away.

The little maiden’s subtle seduction wasn’t enough to make a mature man like him fall for it.

Saying it practically, he simply didn’t dare to because he had an elven (tiger) wife at home.

He had already reached the stage of financial freedom. Be it the hundreds of millions that he had taken from Dragon Island, the textile factory, the brewery, the half of Romo Street and Saipan Tavern, or Mana Hot Pot Restaurant that he co-owned with Rena, he simply couldn’t finish spending his wealth even if he splurged every single day.

However, ever since his past life, money to him was just a number. A number that he couldn’t finish spending.

Hence, he was never obsessed over it.

Instead, how to make himself feel rich and happy inside and make his family and friends feel blissful, made him look forward to spending money on them more.

This world hadn’t changed for the better.

They had fought for 100 years of peace, but this was still a world that had a huge racial divide.

The hatred didn’t disappear and conflicts would arise again after the short honeymoon period.

The issues that couldn’t be resolved on Earth in the 21st century, naturally couldn’t be resolved immediately in this savage continent.

What gave him some consolation was, there were at least some active changes.

For example, the dwarves, the goblins and Chaos City were rapidly building ties and connections.

Lantisde was out of the game. It had joined the Underground City.

Connie had full control of the orcs. At least, it was much better than the times of Auster.

The elves’ feudal system was collapsing right now and Sally might become the new person-in-power. Mag had always thought that she was a kind maiden.

Ever since the giant dragons took on the role of transport means, they seemed to be more humble. At least, they didn’t look down on the others so easily now.

The forest trolls still isolated themselves. It was indeed difficult for such a big guy to blend into another society, but it was a good thing for the world that they had lost a bad-tempered and ambitious chief.

The demons’ situation was much more complicated. There was no powerful tribe that could unify the whole race. They were in a disunified state. Mag had no idea how they would progress in the future either.

The last was the Roth Empire. Andre had already declared to the world that Sean was the crown prince. This meant that this gigantic empire would be handed over to Sean one day.

That was very bad.

Mag wasn’t happy about it.

Hence, he was thinking if this throne should be handed over to Vanessa or that little carpenter.

A queen regnant was also quite nice, but Vanessa might not be willing to do it.

He wasn’t familiar with the little carpenter, so he had to observe him for a while longer.

The Moon Nation seemed rather interesting too. He wanted to go take a look when he was free.

Although humans had landed on the moon successfully, they couldn’t live there yet.

Wouldn’t it be marvelous if he could stay for three days and two nights.

As for the Underground City, he hadn’t chatted with Xi online for a few days. It was difficult to chat with this ice beauty. She only answered with an “Mmm” no matter what he said.

He was also equally expectant towards that advanced civilization.

However, as he respected danger, he didn’t have any plans to go to the Underground City yet.

That world might have existences who were above the 10th-tier and they had technology that was more advanced than the system.

He was even worried that his system would be discovered if he went into that world and that they would catch him and dissect him.

“This System is very advanced, okay! I’m only restricted by the rules according to the Norland Continent! Could the Host please not overthink?!” the system said angrily.

Mag rolled his eyes and replied, “Advanced, my foot. Amy’s system rewarded her with a nuclear-powered printer just for looking for a snail. You only gave me the Sichuan spicy chicken as a reward for defeating a Great Old One. Tell me, aren’t you rubbish?!”

“This system… This System… This System is being professional!”

Mag tried to negotiate. “Now that the Moon Nation and the Underground City have appeared, can you reset your permissions? We’re playing with dimensionality reduction attacks, but we’re being dimensionality reduction attacked by others now. It feels horrible.”

“Resetting the system needs to restart.”

“You can restart then.”

“The premise for restarting is the Host’s death. The system will return to God and reincarnation. Are you sure you want to initiate the self-destruction program, Host?”

“Wait, wait, wait!” Mag quickly stopped this stupid system from doing stupid things.

“After this system’s evaluation, there are no signs of the Underground World invading the Norland Continent and the Norland Continent isn’t an unknown world to them. It’s a world that was abandoned by them, so as long as the Host doesn’t go overboard, you won’t suffer too much.”

“Let’s change our way of thinking. If the Underground World could break through the 10th-tier restraint, do I have the chance to become a god when I enter the Underground World?” Mag asked seriously.

This was a question that he had been thinking about recently.

The Elder Things didn’t abandon the Norland Continent because its resources were depleted and they could no longer survive. Most probably, they were searching for a higher limit.

Xi mostly fought with guns and battleships, but the aura coming from her was already close to a 10th-tier.

Given her age, she could be a genius in the Underground World, or it was the Underground World’s overall environment that gave her the convenience in cultivation.

The system replied solemnly, “Theoretically, it’s possible, but the risk of the Host entering the Underground City is uncontrollable. I hope the Host could be more cautious.”

Mag ended his conversation with the system. He opened the messenger and sent a short message to Xi. “The red braised pork is being cooked over a small earthen stove in the early spring. It’s steaming and the chopsticks have poked through it easily. Do you want to come and eat it?”

After a while, Mag received a reply.

“I’m coming!”
