Chapter 1830: Slurp
After the meal, Randy went with Vicennio to take a look at all his mansions in Chaos City. He gained a deeper understanding of how this person could gain so much material enjoyment without having to work hard.
“Look, the life of a rich person is just so real and boring.” Vicennio locked the door and sighed. “Let’s go somewhere else tonight. This place is too tacky. It’s filled with just gold and silver.”
“Alright.” Randy was already numb to it all. This bro here was fine, just that he loved to add salt to his wounds, and had difficulties with making choices.
“Right, I will bring you to meet a few friends tomorrow. Getting to know them would do you good.” After getting on the horse-drawn carriage, Vicennio said, “We have the same livelihood. You can learn from the experiences of these seniors so that you can last longer in your career. You need to know that among them was a 400-year-old dwarf. He had outlived eight rich ladies, and had gained infinite riches. He’s the evergreen tree of the world of gigolos.”
“Could this be the legendary… gigolo alliance?” Randy was stunned.
Vicennio thought for a while, and smilingly said, “That’s not a bad name.”
“In that case, I’ll have to go see it for myself.” Randy nodded. He suddenly felt that this could be an important turning point in his life, and could possibly change his writing life.
Perhaps many years later, he would write a book The Years I Was A Gigolo to remember his youth.
Perhaps he would write a tutorial, and the book would be titled either How Can The Ordinary You Become A Gigolo; Auntie, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore; or Auntie: What A*s You Eating.
“Oh, right. Let’s continue our conversation from the restaurant. How can a man protect himself when facing a wolf-like woman—”
“Bro, are you the classic example of not protecting yourself well? You look as though you’re about to be sucked dry…” Randy interrupted. He had watched Vicennio finish a huge pot of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ before the other regained some color to his face. It was as though he was almost sucked dry.
“You’re talking about me? This is talent.” Vicennio smiled. “I was weak ever since young, and when I just met my wife, my physical condition was way worse than now. However, I am very resilient. Just when you think I can’t do it anymore, I can actually still go another seven times.
“To a woman, this would ignite a strong sense of dominance. It was as though she could suck you dry soon, but she couldn’t. It’s like tasting something delicious, and you’re not able to hold yourself back. Of course, not everyone can master such skills.”
“Bro, wicked! Hands down to you.” Randy stared wide-eyed, and stuck out his thumb.
He suddenly felt as though he still had a long way to go.
King of Gigolos!
Here I come!

After dinner operation, Mag closed the door, and Irina walked down the stairs with two crystal glasses and a decanter filled with red wine. She swirled the wine in her hand with a smile, and asked Mag, “A little drink?”
“Of course. What do you want to eat?” Mag looked at her with a smile.
Irina thought for a while before saying, “How about the grilled shell from before. And also grilled shrimp. I haven’t had grilled shrimp in ages.”
“Alright,” Mag replied. He walked into the kitchen, and bought two scallops from the System. After that, he fished out two crayfish from the tank, and placed them on the grill after cleaning them.
“I heard that Hannah’s brewery exploded?” Irina asked with a smile while leaning against the doorframe as she watched Mag chop up some garlic.
“Mm-hmm. Something went wrong with the machine, so it exploded the moment it was ignited. However, she’s going to remake it again within the next couple of days.” Mag nodded with a smile, and said, “You didn’t see how she looked then. Her face was all gray from the ashes, and her hair also fizzed up.”
“I heard them talk about it.” Irina nodded with a smile. Ashley told her about Mag bringing Hannah over for treatment.
“Oh, right. I intend to open a seafood shop. Can I hire the Night Elves?” Mag asked.
“Seafood shop?”
“Yes. I intend to work with Lantisde. They will be in charge of fishing and transportation. I will be in charge of sales. This will bring fresh and delicious seafood to the people of Chaos City.” Mag nodded with a smile.
“They were the ones who provided your octopus tentacles?” Irina suddenly seemed to have understood.
“Yes. After all, they live in the ocean. They will be better at catching these things compared to the fishermen at the Boundless Sea Realm. On top of that, selling seafood can bring them income. With money, they can buy necessities.” Mag nodded.
Irina nodded. “I’ll get Ashley to arrange it for you tomorrow. How many people do you need?”
Mag thought for a while, and said, “For the first batch, I will need 10. They have to be quick and able to adapt to a large sales volume. I intend to use the octopus to open up the market before including other seafood slowly.”
“Mm-hmm,” Irina replied. She knew that Mag would most probably want to use Mamy Restaurant to push the sales. She was not very knowledgeable about such things, so she could not be bothered to join in.
With some soaked vermicelli added to the scallops, then topping it up with a scoop of chili and stir-fried garlic, the scallop was completed in no time at all. The scallops glistened, and the smell of the garlic brought out their fragrance. Before the scallops were plated, a dash of chopped green onions was scattered on top, and two dozen grilled scallops were done.
The crayfish, which was the size of an arm, was slit open on its back and pincers. As it grilled over the fire, the slits opened up. Garlic was stuffed into the slits, and the flavor infused into the crayfish slowly. When the crayfish turned from greenish-black to bright red, its fragrance was already wafting throughout the room. It was ready to be plated.
While waiting for the grilled crayfish to be ready, Mag also made 30 mutton kebabs. It was a pity that he had yet to gain experience from the grilled pork belly and enoki mushrooms. Otherwise, he would have to try out their taste.
Oh, right. Roasted pig’s brain was delicious too.
Mag brought two large metal plates out of the kitchen, and placed them on the table.
Irina licked her lips. She glanced at the red wine in her hand, and said, “I feel that red wine isn’t a good choice. Grilled food and beer go better together.”
“Let’s have some red wine to start the appetite going before we have some beer. It’s equally good.” Mag raised his glass with a smile, and said, “Cheers.”
“Cheers.” Irina picked up her glass, and finished everything.
Mag, who took a sip, was about to put his glass down. He raised his brow, hesitated for a while, and gulped the entire glass of red wine down too.
“Beer.” Irina put her glass down. Her face was flushed red, and she was looking at Mag coquettishly.
“I’ll get it.” Mag stood up with a smile, and walked into the kitchen. Soon after, he brought out two pints of beer and a small beer barrel.
He knew Irina’s alcohol tolerance was very well. Although she was not a very good drinker, she could definitely handle a pint or two beers.
Slurp.
Irina pinched a scallop between two fingers, and put it to her mouth. After that, she used a small spoon to sweep the vermicelli and scallop into her mouth while slurping up the delicious soup.
