1077 He Would Make Sure Even The Fiercest Beast Would Be Eaten Until It Became An Endangered Animal!
He had made over 1,000 servings of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ last night, but he hadn’t had a taste of it yet. Even though the dish had already been upgraded by the system, it still needed to take one whole day to cook.
Hence, Mag had already planned to start cooking in the morning, and he would be able to launch the first helping of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall by dinner service’.
Of course, most importantly, he would be able to make a delicious new dish for Amy to eat.
But when he opened the fridge happily, he found there weren’t any shark’s fins and shark’s lips!
All the other ingredients were prepared except for these two items.
“Are you out of stock, System?” Mag asked, frowning.
“Important notice: as the shark’s fins are obtained from the Nether Sharks that lived 15,000 meters deep in the Boundless Sea Realm and due to limited funds, a demersal fishery isn’t established. Hence, there isn’t a direct supply of shark’s fins and shark’s lips!” the system replied.
“This is a very unprofessional behavior for an ingredient supplier.” Mag raised his eyebrows as he had an ominous premonition.
The ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ would be lacking two very important ingredients without the shark’s fins and shark’s lips. Then, did it mean that he had learnt the high-end dish in vain?
“Due to the problem with the supply, a new mission is triggered: the Host has to search for the Nether Shark’s fins and lips’ supplier by himself, a.s.semble all necessary ingredients that ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ needs, and establish a secure supply chain.”
“Your reward for mission completion: 0.5 strength point; your punishment for mission failure: a 3 tier demotion as a knight!
“Clue fragments of the mission provided: Nether Shark’s coordinates +1, Nether Shark’s picture +1.”
The system’s voice sounded again.
A world’s map appeared in Mag’s mind. A red dot appeared on the Boundless Sea Realm, and there was a picture of a giant shark with huge teeth and vortex-shaped markings on its body.
“d.a.m.n! System, can you be any more irresponsible?! Obviously, you are incompetent and yet you want me to go catch a shark! Moreover, it is 15,000 meters deep in the sea. Are you fooling around!?” Mag scolded as he looked at the map and picture in his mind.
“The timeframe for the current mission is three days. Please complete the mission as soon as possible, Host. All the best to you!”
“F*ck you! I drowned in the sea in my previous life!
“This is a malicious revenge!
“I object! I cannot accept this!”
Mag couldn’t help but yell in his heart. He had something against the sea after he was drowned in his previous life. Wasn’t this mission out to get him?
“Objection overruled! The three days countdown starts now,” the system replied calmly as a 72 hours countdown began in his mind at the same time.
“This really is…” Mag rubbed the center of his brows, and his mood soured.
He had the map and coordinates, but the problem was… how to catch a ferocious shark 15,000 meters deep in the sea?
Even someone as strong as Alex wouldn’t be able to withstand the water pressure at the depth of 15,000 meters.
“Mr. Mag, good… morning,” a sweet voice said right at this moment.
“Gina!” Mag’s eyes lit up. He almost forgot that he had a mermaid who came from the bottom of the sea living with him.
“Gina. I need your help.” Mag walked out of the kitchen, and took a pen and paper from the counter. He gestured to Gina to sit down, and he took a seat next to her. He began to draw the Nether Shark according to the image in his head.
What does Mr. Mag need my help for? Gina gazed at Mag curiously. Her expression changed immediately when she saw the huge shark with vortex markings that Mag drew. She exclaimed, “Nether Shark!!!”
“Gina, do you know what this is?” Mag raised his head up in surprise. He just wanted to try his luck, but he didn’t expect he would hit the jackpot.
“How do you know about the Nether Shark? Did G.o.d give you the instructions? Are you trying to save our Lantisde?” Gina grabbed hold of Mag’s arm excitedly. Then, she saw Mag had a perplexed expression, and realized that he couldn’t understand her. She didn’t know what to do for a moment.
Mag didn’t expect Gina to get so agitated after seeing the Nether Shark. She said a lot, but he couldn’t understand a single word. He pushed the pen and paper to her, and gently said, “Take your time. Draw out whatever you want to say.”
Gina’s eyes lit up. She took the pencil and drew a cross, separating the paper into four equal squares. She started to draw in the squares.
In the first square, merfolk were living peacefully, and all their children had a smile on their faces.
In the second square, a giant black vortex appeared behind the merfolk. In that vortex, a huge shark could be seen vaguely.
In the third square, the merfolk were running in a panic. A mermaid pushed the child in her arms away, but she was split in two by the giant shark with a single bite, and that shark had many vortex-shaped markings on its body.
In the fourth square, a huge number of merfolk were attacking that giant shark frantically, but the shark could quickly grow out a new tail after it got slashed off, so the merfolk were suffering huge losses instead.
So this is a pest. Mag looked at the four-square comic. It seemed like the merfolk were suffering a great deal because of it. These savage Nether Sharks should be the merfolk’s mortal enemy.
However, Mag’s eyes lit up again when he looked at the Nether Shark’s regenerated tail. It has the ability to regenerate its body parts. It’s a perfect ingredient. It’s just like chives which grow again after you cut it off.
Gina took another piece of paper and started to draw again. In that drawing, Mag was holding a cleaver, descending upon them like an archangel, and slaughtered that Nether Shark with one slash. Numerous merfolk were looking up to him reverently.
Putting down the pencil, Gina raised her head to look at Mag, full of hope in her eyes.
“Errr.” Mag looked at that last drawing. He didn’t expect that to be his image in Gina’s heart.
However, he definitely couldn’t go to the bottom of the sea to kill that shark with one slash of his cleaver. If he could do it, he wouldn’t have drowned in the first place.
But, no matter how vicious it was, it was still a shark.
Since it made its way into the Mamy Restaurant’s ingredients’ list, he would make sure even the fiercest beast would be eaten until it became an endangered animal.
Mag took the map down from upstairs, and marked the location on it according to the coordinates. The system had marked a center point and gave a big range at the same time, which meant the Nether Shark could appear anywhere in the range.
But now, Mag had a bold idea.
Could this region be the location of Lantisde?
“Tomorrow, we will go here, sending you home.”
Mag pointed at the dot on the map and smiled.
“Home?” Gina didn’t understand completely.
“Lantisde, your home,” Mag said, pointing at the circle.
“Back to Lantisde!” Gina’s eyes lit up, and tears appeared at the same time.
