Chapter 2273: Aunty, the Times Have Changed!
A simple gathering. Mag closed the door after watching Xi leave, carrying Vicki in her arms.
Although he didn’t get any useful information from Xi, today wasn’t completely unfruitful either.
At least, he knew who the other person from Underground City staying on the Norland Continent was, and she was someone he knew.
Even though Vicki wasn’t stable emotionally, she was still much easier to cheat compared to Xi.
Mag had already decided that he would take Vicki as the breaking point and extract the Underground City’s secret from her.
With Black Cat Opera around, she couldn’t hide.
Mag was about to clear the table when Irina came down from the stairs with a smile. “Is it fun to drink and flirt with two little beauties?”
“I’m working here,” Mag replied seriously.
Irina rolled her eyes at him. She sat down and crossed her legs. “I didn’t expect Vicki to hail from Underground City too. However, she didn’t look very powerful or outstanding.”
“With the assistance of advanced technology, the physical combat power doesn’t represent a person’s combat power completely. I have seen her self-detonating a battleship at Cthulhu and running madly on the ice sheets in a mech.” Mag shook his head with a smile. “If we consider the mech as well, her combat power was equivalent to a 9th-tier giant dragon. If she has the battleship, that strength will be even harder to gauge.”
…
Irina opened her mouth. Although she didn’t understand what kind of enhancement the mech and the battleship could give to Vicki, she still chose to trust Mag’s judgment. She changed the topic. “I can see that she was rather interested in you.”
It shows that I am still as charismatic as before. Mag seriously said, “I think they just want to eat my dishes for free. It’s the Underground City’s old tradition.”
“You want to go to Underground City?” Irina looked into Mag’s eyes and asked.
“Yes. It holds the secret to becoming a god. To me, it’s indeed very attractive. I’ll definitely go and take a look.” Mag nodded.
“But there is no longer any god in this world.” Irina’s voice was cold and her expression was serious.
Mag was suddenly stumped. He suddenly realized the meaning in Irina’s words. Sweat beaded on his forehead and he felt a chill up his back.
Yes. There had been numerous legends regarding gods on the Norland Continent and almost every race prayed to all kinds of gods.
However… in the past eons, there had been no concrete evidence of the gods ever appearing and no gods from any race had brought them to glory ever.
The gods might have appeared on the Norland Continent, but they had all disappeared.
Nobody knew where they went. They didn’t leave behind any evidence either.
In such a huge continent and a world where countless races co-existed, was it true that no one had ever reached that limit in the past tens of thousands of years?
Even Alex and Lantisde had seen that invisible existence in the recent few hundreds of years.
He didn’t think that they were some kind of genius. Such a possibility was simply too slim.
Where did those people go after becoming gods?
“I understand your pursuit for power, but what will happen after you become one? Are we going to offer you a joss stick after you become a god whenever we miss you?” Irina continued to ask.
Mag laughed silently. Talking about joss sticks… he was thinking about his path of becoming a god by gaining believers.
“Xi said that there are beings more advanced than the 10th-tier. They are the Extraordinaires. I want to see what kind of beings the Extraordinaires really are. Are they really gods?” Mag said with a solemn expression, “If they could still stay in Underground City after becoming gods, that means every rule here could be broken.”
Irina nodded thoughtfully before saying, “If you really met a real god, it won’t be easy for you to escape them.”
“I can always run if I’m not their match. I’m rather confident in my abilities to escape,” Mag smilingly said before he went to Irina and massaged her shoulders. “Do you want to eat anything? We still have grilled meat.”
“I’m not eating your leftovers.” Irina shook her head. After thinking, she said, “I want to eat your noodles.”
“This…” Mag looked at Irina’s lush red lips before going to the kitchen. “I’ll go make the noodles.”
A bowl of shaved noodles was soon made and Mag added two fried eggs for her.
Mag sat across from Irina and watched her eat the shaved noodles daintily.
Her dainty mouth on her beautiful face sucked gently and a shaved noodle slid into her mouth. She chewed it, looking very adorable.
“Don’t look at me when I’m eating.” Irina glared at him.
“Someone once said we should look at the most beautiful thing when we stay put in one place quietly.” Mag shrugged. “I have no other choice.”
“Glib-tongued.” Irina rolled her eyes, but she couldn’t help but smile. She bit into the fluffy fried egg and the yolk oozed out slowly. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was delicious.
She loved the eggs Mag fried the most. He seemed to have fried the eggs with pork lard. It was fluffy and the yolk was soft. It was a delicacy that others couldn’t replicate.
Irina felt full after eating one bowl of noodles and two eggs. She put down her chopsticks satedly.
“How’s the construction at the school?” Irina asked casually.
“It should be almost done. I’ll go check it again tomorrow. We just need to put the equipment in and we should be ready before the school opens.” Mag nodded. He trusted the Night Elves construction team.
“Let’s go.” Irina got up and prepared to go out.
“Where to?” Mag was befuddled. Why were they going out at night?
“Didn’t you receive a gun from Xi. Let’s go have some fun with it,” Irina said. Throwing a glance at him, she continued on speaking, “Not that gun of yours.”
“I didn’t expect you would be interested in that.” Mag was a little surprised.
“Do you think that I am a conservative old fogey?”
“No, but it’s usually the men who are more interested in such things.”
“I simply don’t want to be abandoned by the times. After all, how embarrassed I would be if some juniors come and tell me, ‘Aunty, the times have changed!’” Irina said honestly.
“Let’s go. I’ll teach you how to operate a gun today.” Mag chuckled. He held onto her hand. “Let’s go to the magic beast mountain range.”
Irina waved her hand and a golden beam lit up underneath their feet. The two of them reappeared outside of the city, and with another blink, they appeared on the peak of the tallest mountain in the magic beast mountain range.
“This is an assault rifle. Its killing distance is 30 kilometers. It’s a deadly threat to 10th-tier powerhouses within a 15 kilometer range…” Mag took out the assault rifle and began to introduce it to Irina before teaching her how to aim and shoot.
