Chapter 1821: This Lady Is Rather Cute
As a newly promoted vampire ancestor, Dracula was still exploring the Ancestor Bloodline. He had become stronger, but was not yet the strongest, and still could not be compared to the elders of his race.
Although he always thought of himself as a rare talent, Dracula was already prepared to use 300 years to slowly understand and control his powers as the ancestor.
He had been training very hard, and could faintly feel the restrictions of his bloodline, making the fusion not smooth. The problem was that he was unable to look into his body to find out what was wrong, and was stumped for quite a while.
The incredible thing was that after eating that piece of octopus tentacle, he could actually successfully look into himself, and see how the golden Ancestor Bloodline operated within him. Although it was slowly fusing with his blood, the process was not smooth, and there were many obstructions.
However, if he could ascertain the reasons that brought about the obstructions, he could definitely find suitable plans to solve the problem, and complete the step of fusing his blood together even quicker.
That’s too magical! This ordinary-looking octopus tentacle could actually have such a miraculous effect? Dracula looked at the stir-fried octopus tentacles in front of him in disbelief, and blinked to make sure that he was not dreaming.
“It’s good, right?” Harrison ate a big mouthful of rice, and looked at Dracula with a smile. This was the first time the other party was interested in something he recommended. Harrison reached his chopsticks out to get some more of the dish.
Smack!
A pair of chopsticks smacked Harrison’s chopsticks.
“Your stir-fried octopus tentacles are very delicious, but right now it’s mine,” Dracula said domineeringly as he put the plate of stir-fried octopus tentacles in front of himself.
“???” Harrison.
“Order another one for yourself. This meal is on me,” Dracula said merrily as he took the plate of octopus balls as well.
Harrison retracted his chopsticks, and looked at the two dishes that had left him. He suddenly regretted recommending them so passionately.
However, he quickly forgave Dracula since the latter was buying the meal.
“Er… Miss Miya, I’ll have two more servings of stir-fried octopus tentacles and two large servings of octopus balls. On top of that, get me a beggar’s chicken and two pints of beer,” Harrison ordered happily.
“I only took one serving from you. Why did you order two servings and add a chicken and two pints of beer?” Dracula, who was about to dig into his octopus ball, looked up.
“Double the serving, double the happiness,” Harrison said with a chuckle. Since it was free, he might as well eat all he could.
Dracula fell silent. He actually had nothing to say about that, so he continued indulging in the happiness of the octopus balls and stir-fried octopus tentacles.
The stir-fried octopus tentacles and octopus balls gave the customers a huge surprise.
Chaos City was landlocked, and ordinary people would not be able to try such expensive food.
Even the rich customers who frequented restaurants might not be able to find fresh seafood easily. Because of the long distance, even if one were to travel on a flying steed, one would not be able to guarantee that the seafood would still be alive once it reached Chaos City. Therefore, there was no need to even mention experiencing the freshness of it as though it was just fished out of the water.
If one craved for seafood, they would have to make their way to the Boundless Sea Realm.
However, the stir-fried octopus tentacles and octopus balls gave them a pleasant surprise.
The freshness and tenderness of the octopus tentacle made one fall deeper into it.
Nothing could be compared to this, even if one were to rent a boat out to sea to fish up an octopus freshly to make it.
The most incredible thing was its price. A serving of stir-fried octopus tentacles only cost 100 copper coins. The octopus ball was 60 copper coins for the large serving, and 40 copper coins for the small serving.
One had to know that even the soybean milk and youtiao set meal at Mamy Restaurant was already 300 copper coins.
It was not that the soybean milk and youtiao were not worth the price. As it was a must-have breakfast combination, 300 copper coins in exchange for a rejuvenated soul and good mood was very worthwhile.
It was only that it was so baffling that such a precious ingredient like the octopus made into a complicated-looking dish with such extraordinary taste could actually be priced way below everyone’s expectations.
Of course, it became the go-to order for almost everyone who entered the restaurant because of its low price.
There was nothing much to lose with 100 copper coins.
“Is Boss Mag suddenly going against capitalism, and treating us to a big meal?”
“I am more curious about where Boss Mag got his ingredients from. How could the price be so low?”
Everyone was even more curious after finishing their food.
The various powerhouses, who stayed far away from the octopus tentacle, ended up not being able to resist all the mukbang customers around them. They all started to jump on the bandwagon and immerse themselves in goodness.

“Hu… hu…” Gloria picked up the octopus ball with her chopsticks carefully and blew on it.
The lady who served the dish reminded her that it was very hot inside the octopus ball, and told her to wait a little before eating it.
This lady is rather cute. Irina sized Gloria up quietly as she ate her fried rice listlessly.
She grew interested in the lady who wrote the letter when she saw it the day before.
However, now that she had met her, Irina found her rather perfect no matter if it was her speech or demeanor. On top of that, she was kind, but not weak.
She did not really want to find trouble with Gloria. Mag had concealed his identity, brought Amy to Chaos City alone, and set up this restaurant.
Some ladies would definitely have thoughts about an outstanding man who was not taken.
But right now, she was ready to come back to claim her possession.
It was alright for them to like him, but they had to know that he belonged to her. Even if they liked him, they had to hide it. Otherwise, her stool would be out.
After blowing on it for a very long time, Gloria bit into the octopus ball carefully.
Although the ball was not very big, it was obviously difficult for her to put it all into her mouth. Besides, it was not elegant and attractive. Therefore, she took a small bite, which also let her test the temperature.
The golden-brown surface was slightly charred and crispy, and had the faint egg’s fragrance. When biting into it, the intense fragrance sealed in the ball surged out all at once.
This freshness!
The soft filling had generous contents.
There were red chili, onions, and cabbage chopped into tiny pieces, corn, and also small pieces of octopus tentacles, all presented in their best form.
Her mouthful contained much of the filling, and she chewed on it slowly. The crispy outer layer and soft filling mixed around in her mouth together with the freshness of the octopus tentacle and sweetness of the vegetables, bringing a wonderful feast to her tongue.
She smiled broadly.
Is it that good? Irina wavered as she started to doubt herself.
