“Half of two billion…” Amy blinked and pondered for quite some time. “How much is that?”


  Abraham looked at Amy smilingly, feeling so enchanted by the little one’s adorable looks. He laughingly said, “One billion.”


  “Is one billion a lot?” Amy continued to ask. She didn’t know what a billion was, but as long as it was money, and someone was going to give it to her, she could accept it.

  “Errr…” Abraham just realized that the little girl was only four years old, and might not have a very strong concept of money. After a brief thought, he said, ‘Anyway, it means that you can have delicious food for the rest of your life.”


  “Wow!” Amy’s eyes lit up suddenly, and an image instantly appeared in her mind. “That means it’s countless big chicken drumsticks, countless roast ducks, and countless pig trotters…”


  “Yes. You can do whatever you want when you have one billion.” Abraham chuckled too.

  Suddenly, he felt a hostile gaze. He slowly lifted his head up, and met Krassu’s judging gaze.

  “Congratulations, Master Krassu.” Abraham immediately smiled.

  Krassu frowned. He couldn’t let Amy be blinded by money and neglect her magical cultivation, so he well-meaningly said to Amy, “Little Amy, money isn’t all powerful…”


  “But we can’t do without money, either. We can’t buy good food in that case,” Amy said seriously.

  Krassu stared at Amy for a while, and then revealed a smile. He took out a gunny sack that was filled with dragon coins from his magical ring. “See, Master has a lot of money too. As long as you cultivate obediently, Master will buy you whatever you want.”


  “Alright, alright!” Amy nodded before she kept that gunny sack of dragon coins in her staff[1], and said, “Master has worked very hard. Let me carry this for you.”


  “…” Krassu.

  “…” Abraham.

  ***

  There were still many people at the Delicacy Extravaganza at 8 pm, but Mag decided to close his booth.

  The reason was, of course, the depletion of the ingredients.

  The Mamy Restaurant’s booth had been popular for the entire day, apart from the one hour of rest. All of them were already very tired. Even Mag was sick of turning the octopus balls in the grilling pan.

  “Thank you for all your support. We’ll see you again at next year’s Delicacy Extravaganza. Of course, you can come to Mamy Restaurant if you want to eat the octopus balls,” Mag smilingly said to the customers who were still unwilling to leave.

  “Mr. Chef, are you not coming back tomorrow?” A maiden with big eyes looked at Mag with shock.

  The other customers were also perplexed when they heard that.

  The Delicacy Extravaganza would span seven days, and today was only the first day.

  “Yes. Mamy Restaurant is only participating for one day.” Mag nodded smilingly.

  “I haven’t learned how to make the stir-fried octopus in XO sauce, what should I do now?” a woman asked nervously.

  The people who wanted to try making the octopus tentacle series at home were also looking at Mag.

  Although they had seen how to do it, they weren’t sure that they could actually follow in action. They planned to return for reinforcement tomorrow again.

  “Although we’re not coming back tomorrow, the giant screen will not be removed. It will play the teaching videos of the four dishes on a loop. If you all have any doubts, just come back to watch it a few more times,” Mag explained.

  “That’s great.”


  Everyone was relieved to hear that.

  “But… I still like the way Chef looks when cooking. You look so gentle.” A maiden looked at Mag with a lingering gaze and stars in her eyes.

  Mag smiled as he removed the apron, and led the ladies away.

  He had collected a lot of fangirls today. However, they were not necessarily a good thing for a married man with a kid.

  After bidding farewell with the ladies at the ice cream shop’s entrance, Mag returned to the restaurant alone. He picked up Annie, who was learning magic at Xixi’s place, and Ugly Duckling, which was staring and salivating at Black Coal, along the way.

  Annie was very happy. She told Mag with sign language that Xixi taught her many amazing magic spells, and gave her a lot of delicious food.

  When they reached the door, Annie opened her palm, and a tiny bean sprouted and grew in her palm rapidly. It soon turned into a bean sprout.

  Mag looked at that little bean sprout with surprise, and said, “Yes. Our Annie is improving very fast.”


  Annie looked around her, and then planted the bean sprout in a small flower pot at the side. The smile on her face widened.

  Irina came out. After flicking a glance at that bean sprout, she smilingly said, “Nature magic is indeed most suitable for Annie. It’s an extremely good fit, and it’s also easier for her to cultivate.”


  The three people and one cat entered the restaurant. Smiling, Mag said, “Do you all want to eat anything? I’ll make it for you.”


  “Meow~” Ugly Duckling dashed into the kitchen, and soon came out with a long fish in its mouth.

  Mag looked at Ugly Duckling, which had its head and paws soaked, and made the kitchen sopping wet, and gravely said, “Ugly Duckling, if Amy sees you like this, you will end up in the oven.”


  Splat.

  The big fish landed on the floor, and instantly splattered around.

  The shocked Ugly Duckling didn’t forget to press down on the fish with its paw, but it was still looking at Mag with a slightly gaping mouth as if it couldn’t recover from Mag’s words.

  “Do you think it’s fat enough?” Irina was also sizing Ugly Duckling up smilingly.

  Ugly Duckling’s eyes widened a bit more. It pushed that fish out a little before retracting its paws, and took two steps backwards. It pressed itself against the wall and shivered.

  This whole family was simply too scary!

  “I’m just joking with you.” Mag walked over, and picked up that fish. He tossed it back into the tank, and was prepared to make a pot of fish soup for Ugly Duckling.

  Annie went up to pick up Ugly Duckling gently. She cuddled it in her arms, and caressed its head gently.

  Purr, purr~ Ugly Duckling soon made comfortable purring sounds as it lay comfortably in Annie’s arms.

  Annie smiled too.

  “She’s such a kind child.” Irina retracted her gaze from Annie, and went to the kitchen’s entrance. She looked at Mag, who was processing the fish. “Oh, yes. Amy won the tournament.”


  “Huh?”


  Mag turned around. He only reacted after a short while. “You said Amy won the tournament?”


  “Yes. She broke my record of the youngest magic caster to ever win the Magic Caster Tournament.” Irina nodded with a smile. “Furthermore, she’s the youngest advanced magic caster in history now.”


  “She’s indeed my daughter.” Mag nodded. He couldn’t hide the pride in his smile.

  “She inherited the magical talent from me.” Irina tilted her head up a little.

  “Indeed. A tigress mom would never have a puppy daughter. She’s a chip off the old block.” Mag nodded in agreement.

  “Are you saying that I’m a tigress?” Irina looked at Mag with an increasingly dangerous look.

  “…” Mag.

  [1] I think she has a dimensional space in her staff.
