Randy was having the time of his life as he chatted with the lady. He knew everything about the food in this world, and could tell her about any legend easily.

  ?Looking at the gleam in the lady’s eyes, Randy curled his lips. Judging from his wealth of experience, when a woman revealed such an expression, it meant that she was already charmed.

  Randy wasn’t a crass person who was money-oriented. He didn’t like these beautiful ladies for their money. He simply wanted to console their wounded souls, and help them regain their confidence towards life.

  You didn’t believe it?

  Alright, he was after her body.

  Such a slightly mature yet well-maintained woman knew how to pamper a person the most. This was what those young maidens couldn’t compare in.

  Even though the young maidens were more energetic, they didn’t know how to use that energy. They weren’t as considerate as this gentle beauty.

  “Seems like you have been to many places. Do you know which place has the most delicious food?” Betty looked at Randy smilingly.

  Her sister asked her out for lunch today, saying that she wanted to introduce a man to her.

  She actually didn’t want to come out today, as the previous man hurt her heart thoroughly. She was already utterly disappointed with men. However, she couldn’t withstand Bonnie’s harassment, so she came out after tidying herself up.

  She didn’t expect this man, who wasn’t very handsome, to have so much interesting knowledge. He could give you an interesting answer no matter what you asked him, and he seemed to know about all the places on the Norland Continent. He seemed to be very knowledgeable.

  “The most delicious food in the world is right in front of us.” Randy smiled, and looked at Betty with a heated gaze.

  “Smooth talker.” Betty blushed, and glared at Randy bashfully, but she was feeling very sweet.

  “Why do you say I’m a smooth talker?” Randy pretended to be astonished, and then chuckled. “The most delicious food in the world that I refer to is in this Mamy Restaurant, made by Boss Mag.”


  Betty was slightly taken aback, and then looked up at the signboard. So he wasn’t talking about her. He was actually talking about the restaurant. She blushed instantly. She felt amused in the midst of her embarrassment. A smile that hadn’t appeared for a long time was revealed on her lips.

  Randy was even happier to see her like this. Smiling, he said, “Of course, the person in front of me is even more delicious. I am already half-full simply by looking at you.”


  The smile on Betty’s face became even brighter. She tossed all her troubles away, and ripples began to appear at the bottom of her heart.

  The restaurant’s door opened. Mag stood at the door, and smilingly said, “Welcome to Mamy Restaurant.”


  Everyone filed in, and found their usual seats.

  “Boss Mag.” Randy blinked at Mag when he walked through the door.

  Mag nodded with a smile, and swept a glance at the beautiful lady next to Randy. He had heard Randy boast about the beauties that he had met before more than once. It seemed like he had found a new target, and she was also a rich lady.

  Betty also flicked a glance at Mag. This restaurant’s boss looked rather young and different from the usual restaurant’s bosses, who looked greasy and had big bellies. This boss was tall and strapping. He wore a clean and neat chef’s suit, looking very energetic. Furthermore, he looked rather handsome, and his sexy mustache gave him a more mature presence.

  “Boss Mag is not just the boss of Mamy Restaurant. He’s also the restaurant’s chef. One could say that he’s the best chef in this world,” Randy explained with a smile when he saw Betty look at Mag.

  Betty retracted her gaze with a gentle laugh, and said, “I heard experience and skills are very important to a chef. One cannot be a great chef without decades of experience. I didn’t expect him to be a master chef at such a young age.”


  “That is perhaps talent.” Randy chuckled helplessly. “I’ve been to many places, tasted many scrumptious dishes by many chefs, and interacted with many people, but I’ve never met a chef like Boss Mag. Every one of his dishes is a signature dish, but he is still constantly innovating, and bringing surprises to his customers.”


  Betty looked at Randy with an impressed expression. She had, in fact, passed the age in which she liked men who boasted about themselves. Instead, she was more impressed with men who knew how to appreciate others.

  “Let’s sit here.” Randy found a four-person table near a floor-to-ceiling window. He pulled the chair out for Betty first before sitting across from her.

  “This is a good seat.” Vicennio sat down with Bonnie.

  Bonnie wrapped her arms around Betty’s arm as soon as she sat down, and whispered next to her ear, “How is it? Do you like him?”


  Betty blushed slightly. She stole a glance at Randy, who was chatting with Vicennio, and nodded slightly.

  Bonnie said smilingly, “Tsk. Beggars can’t be choosers indeed. Bring him away with you later. We won’t hold you back. My husband and I have to go back to attend to some urgent matters.”


  Betty naturally knew what was the urgent matter that her friend was referring to. She blushed deeper, and glared at her coyly.

  “You don’t have to envy me. Isn’t there one available if you want?” Bonnie gestured towards Randy with her gaze smilingly.

  Randy froze a little. He suddenly wondered if he would be like Vicennio in the future, and would have to come to Mamy Restaurant to nourish his kidneys daily.

  ***

  After the lunch service was over, Mag made himself a pot of tea, and brought the lounge chair to the restaurant’s entrance. He covered himself with a wool blanket, and napped comfortably under the warm winter sun.

  There was a slightly smaller lounge chair next to his, and Annie was lying on it. She was looking at him with her big eyes.

  Ugly Duckling snuggled at her feet. It raised its head to yawn before burying its head back in the soft blanket again. It closed its eyes, and began to snore.

  Mag turned to look at Annie before saying inwardly, “Omnipotent System, when can you develop a miracle drug that can make Annie speak?”


  The system seemed to be rather flattered by Mag’s praise, and said, “This System… is indeed omnipotent. However, her problem is more complex, and cannot be resolved with one or two pills. After a series of studies, this System discovered that there is a Fragrant Deer that lives on the Fragrant Island located in the Staro Sea. If we use its antlers as medicine, perhaps it could have some therapeutic effect on her mutism.”


  “Staro Sea, Fragrant Island, Fragrant Deer.” Mag remembered this information. Regardless if it was indeed useful, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would try it out for Annie.

  Communication would be quite difficult for the young lady if she couldn’t speak for the rest of her life. Moreover, she might never be able to make new friends.

  Mag continued to ask, “Are there other studies and discoveries?”


  The system lectured, “This System is a cuisine system. It’s already very improper for me to dabble in medical studies, so can the Host please stop having all these groundless expectations.”


  “You can post and ask if you don’t know. Don’t you systems have a group chat? You can ask the big shots in your industry.” Mag was relentless.

  “I was kicked out of the group chats many times because of you!!!

  “I am not shameless?!”


  The system was angry.
