Chapter 2454: I’m Indeed a Professional At Charming Girls

Mag looked at that fair and slender hand, which was so fair that it gleamed. He instantly felt a little weird.
He didn’t expect to achieve his goal of getting into the McCarthy Family just after competing for his first match. It was so fast that it felt surreal.
Nancy looked at Mag, who had a grave expression. Indeed, he wasn’t someone who would accept a handout.
Just as she was about to retract her hand and explain her actions, a warm big hand grasped hers.
!!
Mag stood up to hold Nancy’s hand as he smilingly said, “Miss Nancy, thank you for your gracious help. I would like to be the McCarthy Manor’s special chef. This is my honor.”
The chance to be a freeloader would disappear in the blink of an eye. He naturally had to grab on it hard.
In order to complete his mission, Mag didn’t mind that behavior at all.
What did Hades, being a freeloader, have to do with Shen Mag?”
Mag’s smile was warm and clean. Nancy was slightly dazed. After regaining her wits, she felt her hand that was being held by Hades, getting a little warm. She blushed and quickly retracted her hand.
Hades accepted her suggestion. This was very normal. All the Underground City’s chefs found it hard to reject this invitation.
According to the rules, she would choose the champion of the Top Chef Competition and invite him or her to join the McCarthy Manor as a special chef.
The McCarthy Family would provide a generous salary and a strong protection.
Meanwhile, Mag only took part in one competition and she had already extended the olive branch to him. The important reason was those grilled goat ribs that she couldn’t get enough of, and another reason was Akali had just called her and specifically asked for Hades.
She would never give Akali the person she wanted.
Hence, in the times of chaos now, it was without any doubt that she was giving Hades a lifeline by extending the olive branch to him.
“It’s also our honor to hire an excellent chef like Mr. Hades.” Nancy sat down again and took a small sip of the lemon water, trying to calm her erratic heartbeat down.
Mag also sat down and asked Nancy, “Miss Nancy, should I still take part in the upcoming competitions then?”
“Yes. You have to take part in the upcoming competitions, and I hope that you can do your best to showcase your culinary skills.” Nancy nodded slightly as she looked at Mag with anticipation. “I think the audience and I would very much like to see what kind of surprises you are going to bring us.”
“I’ll do my very best.” Mag nodded with a smile.
Yes, he was now a bona fide attraction. His continuation in the competition would ensure the Top Chef Competition maintained its popularity. After all, this was still a business.
Then, Mag chit chatted with Nancy for a while. Because he read the history of Underground City, watched over 10,000 different kinds of movies and targeted Nancy’s likes, Mag easily made her laugh.
An hour later, the happy lunch ended and Mag took the initiative to say goodbye.
“Mr. Hades is indeed a very interesting person.” Nancy looked at the gradually closing door with a lingering smile.
She had never had such a happy chat with a man before. His knowledge was as vast as the ocean and his understanding was deep. Moreover, his stance on certain subjects were exactly the same as hers.
At first, she only thought that she had recruited a righteous chef.
But now, she felt that she had gained a good friend.
Compared to those rich kids who only knew how to get themselves drunk in bars and race their flying cars, Hades gave her a completely different feeling.

“I’m indeed a professional at charming girls.” Mag looked at the favorability that the system gave to him. It was 62 when he entered and it became 82 when he left.
62 was slight favorability for normal people. Given Nancy’s status, that favorability level was normal.
However, 82 was different. It had reached the level of friends who had an enjoyable conversation.
Mag didn’t intend to pursue Nancy’s favorability of him when he charmed her. He was only preparing for his entrance into the McCarthy Family later. He didn’t know the mission’s level of difficulty, so it was definitely better to make advanced preparations.
He rarely came to Underground City, so he naturally couldn’t stay cooped up in the contestants’ dormitory.
Mag got an access card from Xi and left the Mocha Building for a joyride in his flying car.
Mag, who was sitting in the flying car’s driver’s seat, turned to ask Xi with a smile, who was sitting in the passenger seat, “This mission is so simple. Are you guys sure that you are letting me go look at the sacred stele?”
“Do you think you can become a god just after you look at the stele?” Xi asked instead.
“Huh?” Mag was stunned.Please read new chapter at : B o n n o v e l.com
He seemed to believe in that. Look at the stele, understand the rules and breakthrough to become a god. It all seemed so reasonable.
“Over 10,000 people receive the rights to read the sacred stele annually. The plutocrats’ core members have a chance to read the sacred stele annually since they are 10 years old. Those soldiers, who are outstanding in martial arts, or have made a contribution, will get one chance to read the sacred stele. All the powerhouses who reached the 10th-tier will get a chance to read the stele,” Xi said calmly.
Mag: “?”
“How many times have you read the sacred stele?” Mag asked with a grave feeling.
“Three times,” Xi calmly replied.
“…” Mag.
“So, this reward is very common?” Mag felt cheated.
“Everyone reads the sacred stele differently. Some people entered the Extraordinaire’s level just looking at it once, while others failed to see anything even after going there for hundreds or thousands of times. You can think that this is a pointless reward, but you can also take it as a precious chance to become a god.”
Mag nodded, showing his agreement to Xi’s words.
Looking at it, this sacred stele was more like a blind box. No one knew what they were going to get before they opened it.
However, becoming a god was a small probability event after all. Even in Underground City, there hadn’t been any new Extraordinaires in the last 500 years, despite having the sacred stele.
“Where are you going?” Xi asked.
“The Twin Towers.” Mag entered a destination into the auto-pilot.
“Are you going to meet Akali?” Xi had a weird expression. “But you have just seduced Nancy.”
“No. I just want to see what I have just rejected.” Mag shook his head and seriously said, “I didn’t seduce Miss Nancy. It was just a very proper and friendly interaction.”
Light beams formed routes in the air as the flying car zoomed across smoothly.
Tucker City was a megacity that had 1,500,000,000 people living in it. Buildings that were thousands of meters tall could be seen everywhere and there were rows upon rows of castles in the sky. And there was also a world that no one could see, thousands of meters under the ground.
This was a three-dimensional city. Different people lived in different zones.
And in the center of the city, was a patch of office buildings that looked very technological. The most dazzling buildings among them were the Twin Towers that were built next to each other like two golden pillars.
