803 Chaos City is the Most Interesting Place, is It Not?
After Amy fell asleep, Mag lay down on the bed, and asked internally, “System, you told me about a My Little Genius Phone Watch that can accurately locate someone, right?”
“Didn’t you tell me to p.i.s.s off when I introduced it to you?” the system replied in an indignant voice.
“Are you selling it or not? If not, then I won’t ask you about it.”
“Of course I’m selling it! No matter where you are, I can find you with just a phone call! Following upgrades from the system, the My Little Genius Phone Watch is fireproof, waterproof, and resistant to extremely high pressure. It can deal with everything you throw at it, and provides accurate location services within an area of 30 kilometers. At the same time, this phone watch supports real-time communication services, but each phone can only correspond with one intelligent terminal, and those will need to be purchased separately,” the system rapidly introduced as if it were a professional salesman.
“How much does it cost?” Mag asked. Even though nothing bad had happened at the church earlier in the day, the sinking feeling in his gut when he’d realized that Amy was missing was a very unsettling sensation, so it was clearly a good idea to buy a watch with location services.
“Due to the real-time location service that the system must provide, the My Little Genius Phone Watch will cost 1,000,000 copper coins per pair. If you also want to purchase an intelligent terminal, then that will be an extra 50,000 copper coins, amounting to a total of 1,050,000 copper coins.”
“Deal. I’ll get a purple one for Amy,” Mag said without any hesitation.
“Ding! 1,050,000 copper coins have been successfully deducted!
“Ding! The My Little Genius Phone Watch is being produced, and can be delivered in three minutes!
“Ding! Setting up wireless communication and location services; time required will be five minutes!”
The system’s joyful voice sounded.
Three minutes pa.s.sed by quickly, and two boxes appeared on the table.
Mag rose to his feet and made his way over to the table. There was one large box and one small box sitting on the table; the small box was embroidered with floral designs, while the large box was of a simple black color.
Mag picked up the little box, only to find that it was very light. He opened the box to find a purple watch sitting inside. The watch had been extremely intricately crafted, and it was as dazzling as a string of cut precious gems. It looked more like a gorgeous bracelet than a phone watch.
“Amy should like this, right?” A smile appeared on Mag’s face. 1,000,000 copper coins wasn’t much to him, especially when Amy’s safety was concerned, so he felt this purchase was completely justified.
After opening the other box, Mag was greeted by the sight of a black pager.
“System, you’re selling me this c.r.a.p for 50,000 copper coins?” Mag couldn’t help but roll his eyes as he extricated this relic of the past from the box.
“This is the newest retro fas.h.i.+on trend. Carrying a pager will set you apart, and it has features such as a touch screen as well as location and communication services; it’s the ideal terminal for the My Little Genius Phone Watch.”
Mag picked up the instruction manual, and quickly read through it before turning on the pager. The black and white screen was quite clear, and after setting up the network, and connecting the two devices, a small red dot really did appear on the center of the screen. There were also notifications about direction and distance.
Even though Mag was unable to understand the system’s fas.h.i.+on sense, he was quite content with the devices. As such, he placed the pager into his pocket so he could carry it with him at all times.
…
The next morning, Mag got up and dressed Amy before packing up all of their belongings. Only then did he pull the small purple box out of his pocket with a smile on his face, and said, “Amy, I’ve got a present for you.”
“What is it?” Amy looked at the pretty purple box in Mag’s hand with expectant eyes.
“It’s a watch that can let you speak to Father even from very far away,” Mag said as he gently opened the box.
“Wow! That’s such a beautiful watch! And it’s purple as well!” Amy’s large eyes practically glowed as she stared at the watch in the box.
Mag pulled the watch out of the box before strapping it onto Amy’s wrist. The purple strap was very thin, and the size of the watch’s surface was also just right on Amy’s wrist. He smiled, and asked, “Do you like it?”
“I do! I love it!” Amy raised her little hand up high and swung it from side to side, looking at the sunlight reflecting off the gems on the watch with an exuberant smile on her face. She then turned to Mag with curiosity in her eyes, and asked, “Father, you said that this watch can let me talk to you even from far away, right?”
“I did. If you encounter any danger or you miss me, you can rotate this little b.u.t.ton, and I’ll be able to speak to you through this watch.” Mag pointed at a little b.u.t.ton on the watch as he pulled out his pager.
“Like this? What do I do next?” Amy rotated the b.u.t.ton with a curious expression, and Mag’s pager immediately began to ring. Mag pressed a b.u.t.ton on the pager to receive the call, and Amy’s voice sounded from the other end.
“Wow, that’s amazing!” Amy’s mouth gaped open slightly as she looked at the terminal in Mag’s hand with amazement in her eyes.
“Alright, we have to prepare to go home now.” Mag ended the call and patted Amy’s little head before carrying her out the door.
Along the way, Amy was fiddling around with her new watch the entire time while asking Mag all sorts of questions about it.
Mag was very pleased with the admiration in Amy’s eyes, and he naturally took all of the accolades that belonged to the system.
…
The horse-drawn carriage from the second prince’s manor transported Mag and Amy, as well as his cooking utensils, out of the city. After they had arrived, Kra.s.su and Novan just so happened to be disembarking from a nearby horse-drawn carriage as well. A ma.s.sive white flying magic beast was lying down on the ground while manual laborers loaded luggage onto its back.
“Master Kra.s.su! Princ.i.p.al!”
Amy waved her little hand at Kra.s.su and Novan in an excited manner.
“Master Kra.s.su, Princ.i.p.al Novan,” Mag also greeted them with a smile as he made his way over to the duo with Amy in his arms.
“Little Amy.” Kra.s.su greeted Amy in response before turning to Mag as he said, “I was worried that Josh would force you to stay. But then again, the incident last night definitely gave him a ma.s.sive fright, so he probably didn’t have the heart to ask you to stay.”
Mag was naturally aware of what had taken place the night before. After all, he had almost chopped off Josh’s head, and by the looks of it, he really had been severely sh.e.l.lshocked. As such he smiled, and replied, “I even turned down His Majesty’s offer, so he probably knew that he wouldn’t be able to convince me to stay anyway.”
“Haha, you really are an interesting man, Boss Mag.” Kra.s.su chuckled with amus.e.m.e.nt.
Novan was also looking at Mag with a smile as he said, “Mr. Mag, you’ve rejected the king’s offer and chosen to return to Chaos City instead; on behalf of Chaos City, I’d like to express a warm welcome back.”
“Of course I’d make this decision. After all, Chaos City is still the most interesting place, is it not?” Mag shrugged, and all three of them burst into laughter.
The ma.s.sive white bird spread its wings and flew toward the south.
