Chapter 1880: Gegegege
"Father, look at this." Amy finished her Yangzhou fried rice and placed her spoon down, she pulled out a silver ticket from her magic caster"s staff, and pa.s.sed it to Mag.
"What"s this?" Mag received the silver ticket that had a Buffett Bank VVIP stamp, and glanced at the 1 followed by a series of zeros.
"Hm? One billion copper coins?" Mag"s eyes grew large. That was a large sum.
"Has the prize money for the Magic Caster Tournament become so big? When I won back then, I only received a stupid trophy and a few stones," Irina commented curiously as she looked over.
"This is not the prize money. This is given to me by Big Sister Vanessa"s Fat Uncle. He said I won the champions.h.i.+p, and he won some money, so he would split half of his winnings with me. After that, he pa.s.sed me this paper." Amy shook her head with bewilderment, and said, "Is this a lot of money? I think it"s just a very light piece of paper."
"If this was changed into copper coins, I reckon even 10 Amys wouldn"t be able to carry all of them," Mag said with a smile. This little fellow had no concept of how much one billion copper coins were.
It seemed like Abraham gave Amy the money. That meant that he earned two billion copper coins from the Magus Tower. This time, the Magus Tower probably lost so much they didn"t even have a penny left.
That was one billion copper coins!
Mamy Restaurant had been open for several months, and Mag had been working hard every day, but he had not even earned a tiny fraction of that amount.
Amy had already become the first generation, self-made girl.
Meanwhile, he had become the previous generation of the self-made girl?
Look, life is full of ups and downs. That"s how wonderful it is.
"Wow, that must be a lot of money." Upon hearing Mag"s words, Amy immediately had an idea of how much money that was. Her eyes grew brighter when she looked at the check again.
"Father will keep this check for you first, and I"ll give it to you again when you"re older, is that alright?" Mag asked Amy with a smile.
"Mm-hm. Alright." Amy nodded without thinking or hesitating.
"In exchange, I"ll give you this bag of money." Mag took out a large bag of money from behind the counter, and placed it in front of Amy.
The moment the money bag landed on the table, it made a loud and crisp cling.
Amy opened the bag, and saw that it was filled with copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, and dragon coins. Her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "That"s a lot of money!
"In that case, I"ll accept this. Thank you, Father." Amy kept the money bag happily. Compared to the check with an uncountable number of zeros, this bag of coins was more attractive to Amy.
She can still be so happy after exchanging one billion for 50,000 copper coins. I"m speechless. Irina sighed silently. After that, she looked at Mag, who was about to keep the check, and continued watching him with a smile, without saying anything.
Mag, who was about to keep the check in his pocket, paused in his actions. He looked at Irina, and then at the check in his hand. He hesitated for a while, and then presented the check with both hands as he said, "Your Highness, please keep this in your care."
Small.
Weak.
Pitiful.
"How could I?" Irina took the check with a smile, and as she kept it, she said casually, "There seemed to be more money in the drawer."
"Business at the Delicacy Extravaganza yesterday was not bad, so we did make some money," Mag said honestly.
"That"s great." Irina smiled delightedly.
Mag looked at Irina and smiled as well. Nothing beat seeing your loved one happy.
One billion copper coins were no small sum. Mag was worried that if Amy kept it with her, she would become the target of people with ill intentions. There was no difference whether the money was with him or with her mother.
As for the restaurant"s profits, it was only right to hand it over to the lady boss.
Thankfully, he still had a.s.sets other than the restaurant…
Mag washed up the bowls, and the four of them left the city.
"We aren"t playing with the big sisters this time?" Amy asked as she held Annie"s hand.
"Mm-hm. This time, it"s our family gathering. There"s just us." Mag nodded with a smile.
"Oh." Amy nodded. She glanced at Ugly Duckling, which was in Annie"s arms, and said, "Ugly Duckling, do you want to go home first?"
"Meow, meow?" Ugly Duckling looked at her with bewilderment.
"Forget it. You"re thick-skinned. I"ll bring you along." Amy pressed her lips together.
Irina teleported them straight to the peak of the mountain.
"Howl~" Ah Zi could sense them, and it flew out of the cave. When it saw Mag, it quickly went up, and used its head to rub against his hand.
"Ah Zi, do you still remember me?" Amy went up, and reached out her little hand.
Ah Zi crouched lower, licked Amy"s little hand, and shook its tail. After that, it glanced at Irina, and took two steps back, towards Mag.
"Little Ah Zi, why are you afraid of me?" Irina looked at it with a smile. "Did I treat you badly?"
Ah Zi quickly shook its head, but took another step back.
"Meow!"
Ugly Duckling peeked its head out from Annie"s embrace, and meowed provocatively at Ah Zi.
Ah Zi looked at Ugly Duckling, and lowered its head to size Ugly Duckling up before using its nose to poke it.
"Tsk!" Ugly Duckling let out a hiss. It arched its back, and all its fur stood on its ends.
"Gegegege…"
However, Ah Zi suddenly started laughing, and started breathing out at Ugly Duckling.
Ugly Duckling"s fur was messed up immediately, and it was dazed from the heavy breaths of air coming at it.
Just then, Annie reached her hand out, and placed it on Ah Zi"s head as she shook her head slightly.
Ah Zi rubbed its head against her hand, and retracted its head as a sign that it would not tease Ugly Duckling anymore.
"Meow, meow." Ugly Duckling calmed down gradually under Annie"s soothing caress. It found a nice angle to position itself, and closed its eyes comfortably.
"Let"s go. Time to set off." Mag smiled and patted Ah Zi"s wings. Ah Zi crouched down obediently.
With a flap of its purple wings, Ah Zi disappeared on the horizon with a flash of purple lightning.
On Ah Zi"s back. Ugly Duckling crawled from Annie"s embrace into Amy"s embrace. It tugged onto Amy"s s.h.i.+rt as it s.h.i.+vered with fear.
"Ugly Duckling, don"t you have wings too? Why are you afraid of heights?" Amy pointed at the two faint winglet markings on Ugly Duckling"s back in disdain.
"Meow." Ugly Duckling peeked its head out, saw the rivers and mountains pa.s.sing by in a flash, and retracted its head quickly, burying it even deeper in Amy"s embrace.
"This won"t do. Although I can fly with my wind fire wheels and wings now, I will still need a flying ride if I want to go somewhere far away. If you can"t do it, I"ll have to find something else," Amy said seriously.
Upon hearing that, Ugly Duckling quickly lifted its head, and looked at Amy nervously. It blinked its large eyes, and hesitated for a while before forcing out a short paw. It pawed the air a few times, and after feeling the hurling wind against its paw, Ugly Duckling quickly retracted its paw.
"Hoo!"
Ah Zi, which was flying very seriously, suddenly turned its head around, and blew at Ugly Duckling.
Ugly Duckling, which was lying on Amy"s lap, suddenly felt the strong air current, and flew away immediately.
