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

Chapter 995 - Host, I Haven“t Agreed To It!



Chapter 995 Host, I Haven“t Agreed To It!

Michael looked at Mag’s clear gaze and fell silent for a while before saying, “The city lord’s castle’s finances are a little tight recently. We can only afford 250 copper coins for a portrait at the most. Boss Mag, do you think you can make do with it?”

“That’s settled.” Mag nodded.

“Hey!!! Host, I haven’t agreed to it! 250 copper coins? Wasn’t it supposed to be 500 copper coins? Why is it cut by half?? It’s not your money, so your heart doesn’t ache at all!!!” the system howled in Mag’s mind.

“System, I am getting you a part-time job here. Have you seen anyone’s boss so generous to find his employee a part-time job without asking for a single cent? Besides, this amount of money comes in a bulk. All you need to do is switch your photocopier on and print these pictures out, then all the money will end up in your pocket. It’s much less troublesome than having to farm,” Mag said calmly.

“Now that you put it that way… it does seem to make sense, huh?” the system mumbled.

“You don’t have to be too touched. I will still introduce you to any other good stuff like this,” Mag said with a smile.

“Boss Mag, you have contributed greatly to Chaos City. I have no idea how I should thank you.” Michael looked at Mag gratefully. For a top chef like Mag, a simple plate of Yangzhou fried rice would fetch him a sum way higher than a portrait. Besides, it was apparent that it would cost him less time too.

“Then why don’t you get a membership card with me, City Lord?” Mag pulled out a notebook and a gold card with a grin.

After successfully promoting a membership card and obtaining a 10th-tier knight as a member, Mag sent Michael off with a grin. He lay back down on his lounge chair and enjoyed the sun.

Michael’s original intention was to send the children to Mamy Restaurant one by one so that Mag could ask them questions for the information he needed for the portrait, but this suggestion was turned down by Mag.

Mag got the system to print out a stack of questionnaires and listed all the questions he needed to ask on it. The staff in the city lord’s castle would do the asking, and also take a strand of hair from the interviewees before sending all of them to Mamy Restaurant. That way, the system would be able to come up with the portraits at its pace, and it would also save him a lot of trouble.

Of course, there was another reason why Mag was unwilling to face those children. He was already unable to do anything more for them, but if he saw them, he would definitely want to think of something to do for them.

It had been several days since the VIP membership had been launched, and Mag already had six 10th-tier members, 24 9th-tier members, 62 8th-tier members, and 120 7th-tier members in his notebook.

Although it was an almost non-restrictive promise, this large number of powerful members was enough to allow Mamy Restaurant to have a strong foothold in Norland Continent.

“Ding! The host’s expenditure has reached 336,520,000 points. The host can upgrade the restaurant from level four to level seven! After this upgrade, the restaurant’s defense level will reach level seven, and you can receive an additional S-grade air defense missile that will be able to hit level seven aerial targets! In addition, the host will also receive a chance for a free restaurant makeover, which includes opening up the space on the second floor, setting up private rooms, and more.” The system’s voice suddenly rang.

“Wow!” Mag was slightly stunned. The sudden benefits that the system gave caught him by surprise.

The restaurant’s upgrade had almost nothing to do with his abilities. The strength that he spent 300,000,000 on successfully added on to the expenditure, and was enough to level up the restaurant’s defense to level seven, so it could be considered well-spent.

“System, where did you copy that S-grade air defense missile from? The Patriots or the Red Flag?” Mag asked curiously.

“Nonsense! How can you talk about copying when it comes to weapon-making? I got the idea from the strengths of others and invented the world’s strongest air defense missiles that can explode with horrifying power in a very small space, therefore killing all enemies,” the system said solemnly.

“If an S-grade can kill a 7th-tier target, what about an SS-grade and SSS-grade? Have you made them?” Mag continued asking with interest.

“God said it’s not to be disclosed,” the system replied calmly, and did not speak further.

Mag raised his eyebrow and did not continue asking. As for that makeover chance, after thinking for a while, Mag decided that he would not use it for the time being. The restaurant just had a makeover recently, and it would seem very pretentious to keep doing it.

Besides, if he were to increase the number of private rooms, he would need even more service staff, and would even have to redo some of the service flow patterns, which was not what he wanted.

“Boss, I’ve brought Miss Elizabeth over. She wants to become our restaurant’s staff member.” Mag was falling asleep with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard Yabemiya’s voice by his ear.

Miya opened his eyes and reached out to block the sunlight to see Elizabeth, who was standing beside Yabemiya.

She had already regained the color on her face, but her breathing was still a little unstable. It was obvious that it would still take some more time for her to recover fully.

When he recalled the day he cut her dress up, guilt flashed past Mag’s eyes. Although the intention was indeed pure, he could not help but feel a little weird seeing Elizabeth again. He felt as though he had done something shameful.

Could it be because I’ve been too pure recently? Mag raised his brow. It was not like he was some pure little puppy that would actually feel uneasy because he cut up a dress. Back in the days, he had done things even more perv— pure.

Of course, what shocked him more was that Elizabeth, a proud 8th-tier giant dragon, was actually willing to work in Mamy Restaurant!

That was indeed beyond his expectations. At the same time, he was impressed with Yabemiya’s ability to trick people.

Elizabeth looked at Mag calmly. That pair of eyes felt inexplicably familiar.

The first time she saw him was at the city gate of Chaos City. It was Amy that made her take notice of this mere human. To think he could actually make such delicious food.

However, looking at him right now made her feel a little different. Although he was still a normal human, he gave off the aura of someone who could not be overlooked.

Besides, she kept having the feeling that she had seen that gaze somewhere before, not at the restaurant.

“Hello, Miss Elizabeth.” Mag stood up and reached his right hand out towards Elizabeth with a smile.

Elizabeth looked at Mag’s hand and hesitated for a while before reaching out a finger to touch him lightly and quickly retracting it. She nodded slightly, and said, “Hello.”

Mag glanced at his hand. This was the first time he experienced such a handshake. However, he did not dwell much on it. He retracted his hand with a smile, and said, “I’m very happy that you’re willing to work at Mamy Restaurant. However, before that, I need you to go through some simple tests.”
