Chapter 2427: Hades Saipan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Late at night, Mag returned to the restaurant, still hoping for more.
The sensation of the Gatling that shot out red flames still lingered; shooting up a whole mountain was indeed exhilarating.
After washing up, Mag lay on the bed. He turned on the bangle’s screen projection function and projected the screen onto the ceiling. He clicked open the video library.
Skipping over the adults-only selection, Mag clicked opened the top-rated list and quickly skimmed through the movies on that list.
The length of an Underground City’s movie was usually around three hours. To Mag, who was used to watching a 90-120 minutes movie, this length was a little too much.
!!
Meanwhile, 70% of the movies on the top-rated list were romance films. Judging from their synopsis, the majority of them were even melodramas.
The sadder the plot, the higher the score.
“Is the life of the Underground City’s people so miserable?” Mag rubbed his chin with doubts and clicked on the movie that was ranked first on the list: ‘Desperate Love’.
Three hours later, Mag finally finished watching this love movie that talked about two young people who met and fell in love with each other during a war. Just as they got over the struggles of war and were about to welcome peace, the female lead got cancer and the male lead stayed with her till the very end.
Mag went to release the pressure on his bladder first before writing a concise testimonial in front of the computer: “It’s rather touching, but I hope the director could make a less draggy movie. My bladder almost exploded after three hours.”
The story was well-told and the actors’ acting were on point. Those young actors in the Chinese entertainment industry simply couldn’t hold a candle to them.
However, the standard of the scriptwriter and director had a lot of room for improvement. There was more than one hour of unnecessary content, which could be removed without any effect on the plot. Instead, it could even elevate the viewing experience.
With the attitude to learn, he clicked on the second movie.
Mag had chosen all modern movies and the majority of them were movies that were based on real-life.
A movie was a life’s journey. The dry words of the chronicle couldn’t compare to its realism.
Mag got to know the life of the Underground City’s residents through the movies and studied their anxiety and preferences.
Interestingly, anime had occupied a very important part in the Underground City’s movie industry. It even occupied 30% of the top-rated list.
Mag watched two movies and one anime movie that night and wrote three slightly scathing movie reviews.
It really was only slightly scathing.
Mag thought that he had already very much restrained his criticizing spirit.
“Don’t worry, Host. Without the fame as the son of the richest man, you won’t be cursed and end up in another world for a few pieces of movie reviews.” The system consoled him.
Mag was instantly relieved. It seemed like he could let it go a little bit more.
“System, how’s the building of the mech?” Mag asked.
“It’s already in the building process,” the system answered happily.
“Why are you so happy? Are you cheating me?” Mag frowned.
“This System is the God of Cookery Cultivation System and I have crossed over my specialty to serve you, Host. I have worked so hard and yet you doubt me. You have really disappointed me!” the system said angrily, like a wronged little wife.
Mag couldn’t gauge the difficulty of making this mech, but since this mech was also highly valued by Ferdinand, it wouldn’t be easy to replicate. Hence, he didn’t pursue it.
“Alright, alright. I will transfer the remaining 24,000,000 tomorrow. Hurry up and build the production line for me.” Mag couldn’t be bothered to argue with the system. He switched off the bangle and rested on the bed for a while before getting up to make breakfast.
***
For the next one week, Mag had a regular schedule every day. He worked in the restaurant and occasionally taught the children at the school during the day, learned all kinds of skills from Xi at night and watched the movies to learn the Underground City language all night. He had an exceptionally fulfilling life.
***
“Congratulations for passing the 8th-tier language test!”
Mag looked at the fireworks on the screen with a smile too.
He took a screenshot and sent it to Xi with a message. “The 8th-tier is only so-so.”
After a couple of minutes of silence, a reply came, “Arrangements will be made to bring you into Underground City. Please be prepared.”
“So fast?” Now, it was Mag’s turn to be surprised.
He was learning how to drive the special machinery from Xi last night and she didn’t mention anything about going to Underground City tomorrow at all.
“This is your new identity. Remember all the information. The mission mode will be activated as soon as you enter Underground City.” Xi sent him a set of information.
After Mag clicked on ‘accept’ and opened it, it showed a resume.
Hades Saipan. Both parents were deceased.
Good fellow. Mag felt that Xi might be an author.
Moreover, Xi was also very considerate. She even knew that he had used the name ‘Hades’ before. However, using ‘Saipan’ as his surname made him feel weird
He didn’t know how to answer that name if someone were to call him loudly in the future.
Reading downwards, this Hades Saipan was an unknown homecook who had an astonishing cooking talent and cooking ideas that were different from the mainstream…
This was the new identity that Ferdinand had given him. Being a chef had combined his specialty, but why did he give him a chef’s identity when he was already crossing over to the other world?
Reading on, the final page was a photograph.
“Who are you, Handsome?”
Mag looked at the handsome young man in the photograph and rubbed his mustache that had been dissed by others.
This was Hades Saipan’s photograph. Obviously, the other party believed he could resolve the issue of looks.
Mag indeed could resolve it. He took out the face-altering mask and used his thoughts to make a face according to the photograph before putting it on his head.
“So, it’s you.” Mag peered at the handsome man in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
He had sharp features, a handsome face, dark brown eyes and thick blackish-brown short hair. He was handsome and yet still masculine.
“Why does a chef need to be so handsome? Perhaps there is a plot where I need to seduce someone?” Mag looked at the face in the mirror judgingly. Even though he didn’t mind having a handsome face, being too good-looking could be a bother sometimes.
After the dinner service, Mag had them all stay behind for a meal.
“From tomorrow on, I’ll need to go on a trip and the restaurant will be closed for five days. It will be a small holiday for all of you.” Mag declared at the dining table.
“Boss, are you going to look for inspiration and ingredients again?” Miya asked curiously.
The others looked at Mag too. It was rare to have a five-day long holiday in Mamy Restaurant.
“Yes. I have lacked inspiration recently, so I intend to go out alone to see if I can find some new inspiration and create new dishes.” Mag nodded with a smile. What a proper reason.
Amy blinked her eyes and asked Mag, “Alone? Father, are you sure you are not going to bring cute Little Amy along?”
