Chapter 1341 - Do You Have Any Objections?

“If the chowhounds that the Host initiated only cover Carapace Island’s territorial waters, it isn’t sufficient to exterminate the crayfish. This System will have to declare that the mission is a failure,” the system answered after a moment of silence.

“Of course it wouldn’t be sufficient if only Carapace Island is involved, but I believe the demons on the other islands would be hearing about it soon,” Mag replied with a smile. He wasn’t worried at all.

“However, System, you should at least give me a judging criteria, right? Mamy Restaurant is operating in a semi-closed condition now, and I have to sell this cheap crayfish out here every day. It isn’t just me who isn’t earning money, you’re not earning money, either.

“After we return to Chaos City, we could sell this crayfish for 500 copper coins each. Not only I will be earning money, you will be too. Let’s all earn money together.”

“This… sounds rather reasonable.”

“You see, the crayfish in the farms are getting bigger every day, and they’re ready to be sold now. But they couldn’t be sold due to those crayfish that had escaped. Don’t you feel aggrieved?” Mag continued on.

“I feel miserable and I wanna cry…”

“It’s normal that you wanna cry. Alright, let’s take the crayfish rearing base as the center point and the surrounding 300 nautical miles of water areas as the interregional. The crayfish are not fast-moving animals, so I guess that they could not have gone too far.”

“According to the crayfish’s habits and characteristics and underwater ocean currents, they should still be within the area of 100 nautical miles in four days’ time. If the Host could make the islands’ inhabitants within the 300 nautical miles area fall in love with eating crayfish within seven days, and caught half of the reproductive crayfish, the mission would be considered a success.”

The outcome of the mission being reduced by half allowed Mag heaved a sigh of relief. Mag didn’t think they could have caught all 100 reproductive crayfish even if every inhabitant on Carapace Island joined in the craze of catching them.

The crayfish that had escaped from the crayfish rearing base could have gone ashore on any of the neighboring islands, or simply lived under the sea. Carapace Island had stopped some of them, but they were simply a small portion of the 300,000 crayfish. It was unknown whether he could gather 50 of them.

“Reproductive crayfish.” Mag scooped out a crayfish that had a red belly from the pond. This was the reproductive crayfish that the system hadn’t sterilized. Its traits were very obvious when it was compared to the completely blackish-green crayfish. It was bigger than normal crayfish, and could reach about 1.5 kg.

“Oh, yes. Apart from the crayfish that came onto the island, regarding those under the sea, maybe I could go recruit some underwater fishermen to catch all the crayfish that are hiding in the sea.” Mag’s eyes lit up. He already had an idea.

“Miss, when is Boss Mag coming back? Take a look, a few more spots have appeared on my nose when I woke up this morning. They’re not going to go away until I have Boss Mag’s tofu pudding.”

“Yes, yes. Look at my skin, it’s so dry and no longer smooth. I really need Boss Mag’s tender, loving care very much.”

“I am going to hang myself right here at the restaurant’s door if Boss Mag is not coming back soon. And my eyes will remain open even after I am dead!”

A group of crazy women had blocked the entrance of Mamy Restaurant. They were complaining about the horrible effects of not being able to eat tofu pudding. They were crying and howling as if they had been just robbed of a million dollars.

“I want to eat grilled fish.” A rather different voice came from the crowd.

All the women fell into a silence for a moment before they turned around at the same time to look at Harrison, who was standing at the outer part of the crowd, and said together, “Scram!”

“Scary women!” Harrison was startled, and he slowly backed off before he turned and took off.

“I’m sorry. We, too, are not sure when the boss will come back. He will definitely make the tofu pudding for all of you immediately when he comes back. Please wait for his return patiently,” Yabemiya said apologetically. She was really worried that this group of crazy women would hang themselves at the door or simply tear down the restaurant.

All the women’s faces fell in disappointment when they heard that. However, they left when they saw that Mag indeed wasn’t in the restaurant.

“It’s so scary. These women will come to ask a few times every day, as if they’re going to tear down the restaurant,” Yabemiya said to Elizabeth who was sitting down and drinking her tea calmly as she patted her bosom.

Elizabeth took a sip as she coldly said, “Don’t worry. They’re dead if they dare to act on it.”

“This isn’t very good… They’re customers, after all,” Yabemiya said softly.

“They will be enemies if they’re going to tear down the restaurant. We have to be as cold and harsh toward our enemies as a harsh winter,” Elizabeth said calmly.

“I wonder when Boss will come back? They’ve already been gone for two days. It’s longer than what he usually did, and Big Sister Camilla has left too.” Yabemiya quickly sighed and changed the topic.

“I heard there is a new restaurant on the island that is rather good. Its patrons are even lining up. Should we go dine and dash for lunch?”

“Sure. If it really tastes good, we will eat there for a whole month. After all, these demons don’t dare to resist us.”

“Wait for me. How could I miss out on dine and dash?”

Four demons walked out of Ten Kings Palace, and all the demons who bumped into them avoided them like a plague. Those who couldn’t get out of their way in time were kicked by them. Those who were lucky only had their bones broken and vomited blood. Those who weren’t could knock onto something and die on the spot.

“Is this the one?” that abyss demon said as he looked at the crayfish restaurant in front, feeling rather surprised.

“Yes, this is the crayfish restaurant. I heard it is rather good. What’s going on? You guys came here before?” The shivarra who suggested it nodded.

“A demon was beaten to death here yesterday noon, so we made a trip here. This boss is rather stubborn. This dine and dash is not going to be easy.” The abyss demon nodded.

“Stubborn? Ha. How dare a lowly demon show defiance to us, the Ten Kings Palace? Isn’t he seeking death? Don’t worry, follow me. I’ll thrash his restaurant if he won’t let us eat for free,” the shivarra said disdainfully, and began to stride to the crayfish restaurant.

The abyss demon and the spatial demon looked at each other and smiled cunningly. They quickly caught up with him too.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The crayfish restaurant’s yard was already filled up with demons. The crayfish were frying in the iron wok and emitting a tantalizing aroma.

What was different from yesterday was that the wok on the rightmost wasn’t filled with spicy crayfish; it was filled with garlic crayfish instead. It was the new item that the boss was introducing today.

Its aroma whiffed through the air, and all the demons were staring at it with their necks outstretched.

“Get off. This table is ours now.”

Right at this moment, the four demons from Ten Kings Palace came in, and the shivarra kicked and overturned the table that was closest to the yard’s gates. He put his foot on a chair and stared at the four demons who were lying on the ground clenching their chests with a smirk. “Do you have any objections?”
