Chapter 1070 - A Mermaid Would Sleep In The Nude Too?!
Chapter 1070 A Mermaid Would Sleep In The Nude Too?!
“They are downstairs right now. We can watch them secretly.” Mag brought the two little ones to the bedroom and turned off the lights. Then, he drew open the curtains and looked at the heads huddling at the front of the restaurant’s entrance.
“What are they trying to do?” Amy asked quietly.
“They should be trying to get in to steal,” Mag said smilingly. He had overheard them talking about some amazing machine.
But when did the restaurant ever have any amazing machine?
This made him perplexed too.
These three chaps shouldn’t have any idea about his identity. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so stupid to try to steal from Alex’s restaurant.
“Grandpa said thieves are horrendous people. They are lazy, and are alway trying to reap without sowing. They will do anything to steal valuables from people.” Anna stared at the three people down there, and angrily said, “Once, a thief stole the last 10 copper coins we had, and we ended up spending a night sleeping in the snow. Grandpa and I almost froze to death.”
“How dare they steal money from Big Sister Anna. The thieves are indeed too horrible. I want to destroy them with one fireball!” Amy said seethingly as a little golden-purplish fireball appeared on her palm.
“The thieves who stole Anna’s money may not be the same ones as down there.” Mag quickly grabbed Amy’s little hand, exasperated, and said, “Furthermore, we are still in the room. Keep the fireball away first. Don’t release it so hastily.”
Mag didn’t like thieves, either, but they were not sure about the three thieves’ motive yet. Hence, it was not very humane to simply send them off to heavens with a fireball immediately.
Amy kept the little fireball as she asked Mag, “Then, what should we do now? We can’t just watch them steal from us, right?”
“Grandpa said that if we couldn’t subdue them, then we should stay away from them,” Anna whispered.
“This is our home. The thieves should be the ones to stay away, and neither are we going to watch them steal from us.” Mag shook his head. After some pondering, he said with shining eyes, “Why don’t we scare these thieves off by making our restaurant into a haunted house? It would serve them a lesson too.”
“A haunted house?” Both Anna and Amy looked confused.
“Is it a vampire’s house?” Amy asked.
“Or is it a devil’s house?” Anna followed after.
“Errr…” If they were on Earth, both could be considered as haunted houses, but in this world, they were not scary enough. After all, they could alway see vampires walking around upside down on the roofs when they were walking on the streets of Chaos City in normal times.
As for vampires, Mag was reminded of the vampire countess that he had bound up with the tortoise-shell technique. He no longer feared vampires anymore.
“They are both not. A haunted house is a house that makes one feel scared. It is a house that people scream in fear when they enter.” Mag described it after some thought.
Amy raised her hand and said, “I know. It is a house where the monsters lived in the legends. There will be many brave men going there to challenge them. Teacher Luna told us this kind of story before.”
“But, which one of us looks like a monster?” Anna looked at Mag and then looked at Amy before looking down at herself finally. They didn’t look scary at all.
“Oh yes! Big Sister Gina!” Amy said as her eyes lit up. “If she changed into her mermaid form, which nobody had seen before, and if she put on some weird clothing, she would be very scary.”
“This is a good idea.” Mag nodded. They could see all kinds of weird species in Chaos City, but merfolk were indeed a rare species. Gina could even be the only one on the whole continent now. Her sudden appearance at midnight, coupled with some light effects… Her scary index should be rather high.
“System, can you lend me a haunted house backdrop? One I could use instantly. I will return you after one night,” Mag said in his heart.
“Host, this system is an authentic God of Cookery Cultivation System! Please do not call on me to entertain this kind of issue that is beyond my business scope!” the system said righteously.
“Why is this an issue beyond your business scope? System, this is exactly part of your business scope. Think about it. If I want to become a God of Cookery that everyone looks up to, that means I will have to accept challenges from all the chefs in the world. If my psychological bearing capability wasn’t strong enough and I got depressed and committed suicide after I am badmouthed, wouldn’t you fail to complete your mission?” Mag said with a serious expression. “A haunted house is a form of edutainment that can train a person’s psychological bearing capability. Don’t you think the potential God of Cookery candidate should have a go at it?”
“If you say so…”
“What I have said makes perfect sense. Moreover, I will only borrow it for one night, and I will pack it up by tomorrow morning. It will not affect the restaurant’s business at all. You can decide what design will suit the horror tastes of this world. If some high-end special effects could be added, it would be the best. We will use the three thieves out there as our lab rats,” Mag continued for the system.
“This…” The system was still a little hesitant.
“Let’s agree on this. I will pay 100 copper coins as a deposit first. I don’t need you to return this deposit even if I am not satisfied with the effects later. I will take it as my loss.”
“Deal!
“Ding! 100 copper coins have been successfully deducted! The haunted house is in the midst of designing. The template of the haunted house will be ready in one minute!”
“Oh, yes. We can add Gina in as an element,” Mag reminded with a smile on his lips. The system was as stupid as before.
Mag knocked on Gina’s room door. The door was only opened after some time. Gina was pressing the two seashells onto her bosoms. She opened her blurry eyes to peer at Mag as she puzzledly asked, “Mr. Mag?”
Mag glanced at the two shells that Gina was holding onto with her hands and the wet fish tail. His eyebrows rose up.
Shocking!
A mermaid would sleep in the nude too?!
“Wow. Big Sister Gina is not wearing any clothes?” Amy, who poked her head out from behind Mag, said in shock as she stared at the seashells in Gina’s hands.
“Is this really fine?” Anna, who poked her head out, asked with worry.
Gina became clear-headed instantly when she saw the two little ones. She blushed and swiftly shut the room’s door. She only reopened it after some time, and she had already changed into the school swimsuit.
“Gina, we need your help.” Mag gestured to Gina.
The way Gina looked now wasn’t much better than how she looked when she was holding onto the two seashells.
The school swimsuit is simply the best!
“Help?” Gina was confused.
“It is like this.” Mag brought Gina to the window to see the three thieves below. Then, he took out a pen and paper, and started setting up his battle plan.
