Chapter 1076 - System, Where Are My Shark“s Fins And Shark“s Lips?!!

“The water temperature is too low. Soaking of the abalone failed!

“Failure to grasp the correct timing for the change of water. Soaking of the shark’s fins failed!

“The broth isn’t thick enough. Fail!

“Fail!”

…

After facing numerous failures, Mag was no longer bothered emotionally. He gathered the experiences and dived back in again.

Learning to cook was, without a doubt, a boring matter. It could even make a person have a mental breakdown very easily, especially if he had to practice the same step repeatedly for the slightest variation of taste.

However, Mag’s will had been fortified to the strongest it had ever been in the past few months. This small little blow would not set him back, but became his motivation and prompted him to use the experience in his head to perfect every single step.

The pages of the calendar on the wall were flipping over day by day. All the soup pots were handling different ingredients. Lastly, they were layered into the old Shaoxing Wine urn which had strong wine aroma in it…

…

“Wohoho…”

Colby shivered and woke up. He opened his eyes and took a moment before he leaped up from the ground. He grabbed his longsword subconsciously and sized up his surroundings with fear.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He failed to grab the longsword, but the surrounding scenery gave him a shock.

The endless sea had disappeared, as did the endless water ghosts. Houses, trees, the square… all the familiar scenes and that restaurant not far away.

What is this? Was all that a dream earlier? Colby stunned. His body shook and icicles fell to the ground. The bone-chilling coldness made him shiver and also woke him up totally. No. That wasn’t a dream. We were thrown out.

“Fatty, Skinny!” Colby looked around, and then dragged out Fatty and Skinny, who were almost frozen, from the bushes. He slapped the two of them awake.

“Ah!!! Don’t eat me! I am fat and taste bad!”

Fatty was awake, but he dared not even open his eyes. He waved his hands around and screamed.

Skinny wasn’t any better as he cried and said, “Go and eat Fatty. Fatty is fleshy. I don’t have much flesh on my body… Wowowo, don’t eat me…” He obviously had a mental breakdown.

Colby gave them a slap each, and shouted, “Stop it, we are already out. There aren’t any ghosts and monsters anymore.”

The two of them stopped howling immediately. They hesitated for a moment before opening their eyes. They looked at Colby in front of them before looking around them. After ascertaining that they were in Aden Square, they burst into tears together.

“Mommy! I am finally out of there. I will never be a thief again. It’s too horrifying…”

“Thanks to my ancestors for the protection! I will be a good man from now on. I will never do any bad deeds again. Thank you for getting us out.”

Fatty and Skinny cried, full of relief after their ordeal.

“Seems like the amazing machine in that restaurant is indeed very valuable,” Colby said thoughtfully as he stared at Mamy Restaurant.

“You cannot be thinking about going back there again, Boss?” Fatty said fearfully.

“The situation is against us. Let’s run!”

Colby waved his hand and left without a backward glance.

Fatty and Skinny scrambled to follow up. They didn’t even dare to go search for their weapons.

…

“Bastard! Who was that person? How dare she knock me out and steal my prey? She interrupted me. It’s outrageous!”

In a black old castle, the countess was sitting on a high chair. She smashed the wine goblet she was holding into the ground. Fresh red blood splashed across the floor.

“Madam, no exact information has been found so far.” Caesar snuck a cautious look at the countess before saying in a hushed tone, “However, deducing from the information we had gathered so far, Princess Irina had been to Chaos City that day. Do you think…”

“Irina!”

Camilla’s voice rose up a few notches, and a tinge of fear flashed through her eyes.

Some memories which were unbearable to recall flooded her mind, and caused a blush to creep up her beautiful cold face.

“No… It couldn’t be her, right? Isn’t she busy with some war of freedom? How would she appear in Chaos City?” Camilla said with uncertainty, shaking her head.

She remembered that woman who appeared at the doorway suddenly that day. Although she was against the light and was wearing a gauze hat, she did resemble Irina at the instant when the chair struck her.

“Furthermore, even if it was her, why did she appear there? For that man, or for me?” Camilla frowned.

“You were stuck to the wall. It took your servant quite some time to peel you off…” Caesar whispered.

“Shut up!” Camilla glared at it. Frowning, she then said, “What’s so good about that man? Apart from being a good cook, having a handsome face, being good at boundage, looking good when he’s holding a whip…

“Pui! These are all nothing! Why would Irina come and look for him deliberately?”

“Maybe she came to eat something?” Caesar speculated.

“No. It definitely wasn’t that simple. My instinct is telling me the two of them have a humongous secret.” Camilla shook her head with a smile on her lips. “As long as I can find the secret between them, and then hand the evidence to Miss Gloria, his true nature will be revealed. Miss Gloria will be devastated, and will seek comfort in my arms. I am indeed a genius!”

“Madam is indeed smart!”

…

The Boundless Sea Realm. Lantisde at the bottom of the sea.

Countless merfolk gathered in front of the altar.

“High Priest, Princess Gina has left for a long time. A new Nether Vortex is forming right now. According to the monitoring, it is bigger than any previous ones, and it will sweep across Lantisde in a month’s time. If we cannot find a way to leave the seal, the children and elderly might not survive this Nether Vortex,” an old merfolk said.

All the merfolk had a look of fear when they heard that.

“There’s no need to panic, everyone. Although the number is bigger than any of the past Nether Vortex, and the scale is bigger, it has not reached the extent sufficient to destroy Lantisde yet.” The high priest raised his hand. After the crowd’s voices were lowered, he continued, “Gina has already set off to search for the Chosen One. SInce she is alive, that means she has already found him. Our Lantisde will be saved very soon. God will protect us.”

…

“Phew.”

Mag opened his eyes and looked at the alarm clock at the side of his bed subconsciously. It was just 6:00. He heaved a sigh of relief that he finally reached the system’s standards for the final trial.

He sat up on his bed. Even though he had been making ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ for tens of days in the test field for the God of Cookery, his mind was still very alert after he woke up. He wasn’t tired at all.

He walked over to the beds and covered the two little ones with their blankets. They had to be exhausted after pranking the three thieves last night.

Mag went downstairs excitedly after washing up. He opened the fridge and then blinked. He couldn’t help but ask, “System, where are my shark’s fins and shark’s lips?!”
