"System, are you messing with me?"Mag wore a dark expression on his face, and was silent for a long time as he stared at the ice cream recipe in his mind.
"Please do not falsely accuse the system; the system advocates justice and fairness, and never messes with anyone," the system replied.
"Then where is my Haagen-Dazs ice cream recipe?" Mag spread his hands open.
"The Haagen-Dazs recipe consists of vanilla, mocha, blueberry, and chocolate-flavored ice cream," the system replied in a serious voice.
"F*ck!"
Mag rolled his eyes in response. As expected, he had underestimated how shameless the system was. The Haagen-Dazs ice cream was supposed to have many more than just four flavors, and their products consisted of far more than just ice cream. The higher the expectations, the more crus.h.i.+ng the disappointment.
"Keep working hard, and you"ll be able to unlock more Haagen-Dazs products, such as different flavors of ice cream, as well as recipes for things like the Haagen-Dazs ice cream cake." The system provided some words of encouragement.
Mag rolled his eyes again, but he still carefully examined the ice cream recipe in his mind. Thankfully, the recipe for the two ball ice cream cone recipe wasn"t bad, and it had four flavors to choose from. It would surely provide a pleasant surprise for Amy"s little friends.
Mag took a deep breath to calm himself down before asking internally, "System, how much does it cost for the ingredients to make one serving of ice cream?"
"In order to help you make the best ice cream, the system has prepared the best ingredients, all of which are natural ingredients that have been carefully selected from all over the Norland Continent. The vanilla plants are grown on a plateau in the northwestern region of the Wind Forest, and they"re nurtured by the warm and humid air in the Wind Forest. The entire plateau releases a delightful aroma all year round, and only the finest vanilla is selected from those plants to be ground down into fine powder. Consumption of this ice cream has a potent relaxation effect.
"The mocha is made from West Lake Longjing tea leaves grown on the hills in the northern region of the Twilight Forest. The seeds of the West Tea Longjing plants were selectively bred to create plants that yielded ideal tea leaves, and the leaves are covered under shade 20 days prior to picking. The leaves are carefully selected and processed using steam before being ground into powder using a natural stone mill. Each tea tree can only produce 100 grams of mocha.
"The milk is sourced from the cows that are being bred on the Meheer Island of the Staro Sea. The super-long daily suns.h.i.+ne exposure on the island ensures that there are high quality pastures for the cows to graze on. All milk-producing cows listen to four hours of cla.s.sical music every day, and the quant.i.ty as well as quality of milk produced are strictly regulated.
"As for the eggs…
"Hence, the ingredients for each two ball ice cream cone cost a total of 80 copper coins."
The system seemed to be very proud of the work that it had done.
"Holy f*ck! You"re using West Lake Longjing tea leaves to make mocha ice cream? Do you not have a conscience? If my father were to hear of this, he would belt you to death!" Mag"s eyes widened upon hearing that. The holy lands of many species were being used as plantations and farms by the system. As expected, the ingredients produced by the system had never disappointed him.
He had never heard of ice cream being produced from such extravagant ingredients. Mag had never been poor, but his imagination seemed to be a little restricted. He didn"t dare to imagine what would happen to him if he were to use the prized jar of Longjing tea leaves in his father"s study to make ice cream.
However, Mag"s mood improved significantly after hearing the system"s introduction. With such high-quality ingredients, there was no way that the ice cream produced wouldn"t taste good.
He wasn"t some sort of ice cream enthusiast, and he couldn"t recall whether he had once reviewed Haagen-Dazs ice cream. However, the system insisted that he had, so he had no choice but to accept that.
He opened the door in his mind, and a white light flashed, immediately following which he arrived in the test field for the G.o.d of Cookery.
He looked around, and discovered that there was a new machine in the corner of the kitchen. It was a two-in-one ice cream and ice cream cone machine that was about a meter tall. Its silver metallic exterior gave off a very futuristic feel, and there was one cone slot as well as four different ice cream nozzles. There was also an LED screen for operating the machine, and the instruction manual had already appeared in Mag"s mind.
This fully automatic operation method is a little bland… but I like it. After digesting the information from the instruction manual in his mind, a smile appeared on his face. He turned the machine on, and experimented with it for a while before opening the fridge to pull out of the required ingredients.
Three days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye in the test field for the G.o.d of Cookery. Mag pressed the "Start" b.u.t.ton with a solemn expression, and an ice cream cone slid out from its designated slot before it was accurately caught by Mag with a conical paper bag. He then pressed the b.u.t.ton for vanilla ice cream, and two light yellow b.a.l.l.s of ice cream fell onto the cone one after another, stacking on top of each other. The faint aroma of vanilla immediately wafted through the air.
He put down the vanilla ice cream, and repeated that same process with the mocha, blueberry, and chocolate ice cream before placing the ice cream cones onto the rack beside him. The four flavors of ice cream were all vibrant in color, and even though they were being exposed to the open air, they were all melting quite slowly. Mag was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence as he asked, "System, how about this time?"
"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully mastered the production of two ball ice cream cone, and at the same time, you"ve unlocked the ice cream machine as well as all of the ingredients required to make the ice cream!" The system"s voice sounded.
Not bad. Mag looked at the wall to find that only three days had pa.s.sed, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"By the way, system, aren"t you forgetting something?" Mag asked internally.
"You have already mastered the two ball ice cream cone, so you may leave the test field for the G.o.d of Cookery. If you"d like to keep using the test field, then please pay the corresponding fee," the system replied.
"Not that." Mag shook his head. He had already mastered all of the sword forms that he could, and training in the test field for the G.o.d of Cookery couldn"t enhance his physical properties anyway, so he had no intention of renting the place.
"I"m curious about what kind of review I gave to Haagen-Dazs ice cream in my past life." An intrigued look appeared on Mag"s face.
The system was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you sure you want to know?"
"Just tell me." Mag rolled his eyes.
The system impersonated Mag"s voice, and said, "This Haagen-Dazs is disgusting! It"s too motherf*cking sweet!"
