Chapter 2472: Don't Save Money For Them!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mag didn't care whether it was worth it or not. Anyway, he would only be wearing this disguise for another few days. Only the 20,000,000 fans was a pity.
One had to know that they were all real fans!
!!
Such a rare thing actually happened to him.
He gained so many fans just by cooking.
With his character and persona, he increased the fans' favorability and loyalty.
He did everything according to his likes. He would go head on whenever he saw the things that he didn't like.
Who cares if they were plutocrats or not. He would just run if they started to fight.
So what if they were plutocrats?
Ferdinand would definitely help him escape if they were to fight.
Mag's current objective now was to finish his first mission as soon as possible and go to read the stele. He had to ascertain if that sacred stele, which was rumored to be so awesome, was effective on him.
As for rescuing those Underground City's folks who were suffering, and giving them exciting stories to surf online for, he would leave all that to the other Underground City's heroes.
As the representative from the Norland Continent, he had to set his objective straight first.
Get up, wash up, eat breakfast and then go to the dressing room to do his makeup and get ready for the final.
Mag didn't interact with any staff members the whole time. He didn't want to cause them trouble in the future.
He thought Johnny would come and chat with him, but he didn't see him even after he finished his makeup and was about to go on stage.
This made Mag like Nancy even more. This maiden's values are as great as her looks.
The Top Chef Competition's final, on top of the Horace incident. This level of attention made Hades' post's popularity remain at the very top. Its popularity couldn't be suppressed even when two A-listers' scandals were exposed in the early morning.
On the other hand, the Top Chef Competition's final had entered into the three minutes countdown.
Mag entered the familiar arena under the staff member's guidance. There were only two work benches left on the stage today.
The judges had already taken their seats and everyone's gaze was glued on Mag as soon as he entered the stage. Their gazes were rather complex.
However, Nancy smiled and nodded at him.
Mag also returned a smile to her before he quickly stepped onto the stage and walked to his work bench.
The result of today's competition was no longer important to him. He would enter the McCarthy Family with Nancy after the competition.
However, out of respect to his opponent and the audience, he would still make a dish that wowed everyone.
Then, Angelina came out from the contestant's walkway. She was wearing a white chef's suit and her makeup was much thicker today. However, her makeup couldn't conceal the tiredness on her face, especially her eyes. They were bloodshot, as though she didn't rest well.
"What's with Angelina's condition?" Johnny got up and asked as he looked at Angelina. It was horrible for her to appear on the stage like this.
"I guess I was too excited over today's final, so I didn't sleep well last night," Angelina said apologetically.
? Jonny got to work and gave out instructions quickly, "Get a bottle of vitality water to perk yourself up first. Makeup artist, get her a pair of contact lenses. Her eyes have to look energetic."
After the staff members got busy, Angelina was refreshed. At least, it looked like she was on the surface.
Angelina got onto the stage and stood at the work bench next to Mag's. She smiled at him.
Mag nodded slightly. This girl didn't look like someone who would lose sleep over getting into the final. Why did she end up looking like this?
Then, he noticed Angelina's favorability for him: 96!
(?`??? ´)!!
Darn it. Was she lovesick?!
Mag was shocked. This favorability was too much. It was hard to reach such a favorability even when a couple was deeply in love.
However… he didn't do anything? He even gave her the cold treatment. Why did her favorability for him increase again overnight?
Perhaps… she was a masochist?
Mag felt a headache. He didn't want a maiden to fall too deeply in love with this fake body.
"Alright. Everyone gets ready. The live-stream will start in, 10…"
Johnny's voice spoke up and all the judges and contestants readied themselves immediately.
Right then, 1,000,000,000 people had surged into the Top Chef Competition's live-studio.
Hades' WeTwit in the morning had attracted even more attention for the Top Chef Competition.
"Hades YYDS[1.YYDS (yongyuan de shen; yyds) means "eternal God" and describes an outstanding person or thing. It's similar to the saying GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in English. The phrase is often used by fans to praise their idols or simply to describe something they are fond of.]!"
"He sent the WeTwit, but why am I more afraid than him?
"Brothers, type protection on the bullet chat!"
"If something happens to him, it must be done by the Dixon Family!"
"I want to know what surprises Hades will bring us today."
The bullet chat refreshed crazily. The countdown ended and the live-stream started.
As usual, the emcee made an introduction about the judges and contestants first.
Hades, who could do anything, and Angelina, who had blue-sky thinking. This duel was filled with uncertainties and was very exciting.
Meanwhile, the final's rules had changed again. There was no restriction on the ingredients that the contestants could choose, which meant the contestant could choose any ingredients that they could find in Underground City.
That included ingredients that cost over tens of millions of copper coins.
With the Top Chef Competition's rich nature, they must be very confident to do this in the final.
Hence, the audience was already looking forward to those legendary ingredients and wondering if they would appear on the stage after the emcee announced the rules.
"Unrestricted Ingredients! It's indeed the Top Chef Competition!"
"I hope to see the Frozen Golden Lobster! It's a tip top ingredient from tens of millions of years ago! There are only 12 in the entire Underground City. Its auction price is over 1,000,000,000!"
"I want to see the Deep Ocean Crescent Fish. The last time someone saw it was 500 years ago, right?"
***
The audience was in a heated discussion, while Mag and Angelina began to write down the ingredients that they needed on the tablet.
The ingredients that Angelina chose were normal. Their prices were reasonable. The most expensive ingredient was a helping of deep sea ice blue coral that cost 3,200,000. However, it was far from the top ingredients that the audience was expecting, so it was rather disappointing to them.
However, this was Angelina's style. She combined a bunch of weird ingredients and turned them into an imaginative dish, impressing everyone.
Mag looked at the tablet in deep thoughts.
The audience didn't have any high expectations on Mag's ingredients. After all, he had chosen very normal ingredients for the past two competitions.
Turning the normal into the rare and ethereal. That was the very important reason that Mag was so loved by the audience.
Mag was indeed thinking, but he was also communicating with the system.
"System, have you found a high-end replacement for the pig's kidney? The more expensive it is, the better. Don't save money for them. It's unrestricted ingredients. We haven't played such a rich game before," Mag said inwardly.
The system quickly provided the answer, "At the north of Underground City, in the cave of the Heart of Darkness, there is a magic beast that resembles a dragon-'Medusa'. Her kidney tastes great, and its texture fits the Host's requirement to replace the pig's kidney perfectly."
"Price? What's its price?"
"Medusa will have a 10th-tier power after it's fully grown. It's great in illusionary skills and is extremely poisonous. It hides in the complicated caverns of the Heart of Darkness. It's very hard to kill, let alone capture it. The price of the only live Medusa in Tucker City now is 300,000,000 and it's in the hands of the McCarthy Family."
"That's it." Mag curled his lips and wrote down a line on the tablet.
