Chapter 1669: Are You Serious About Picking Sheep’s Dung For Half A Month?
“Master, are you really going to forge a weapon for that little girl?” Joey asked Master Rom in the carriage.
“Don’t you think that is a very interesting challenge?” Master Rom had an expectant smile on his face. “I have forged countless weapons and many magic wands and magic caster’s staffs, but nobody has made such a complicated and unbelievable request.”
“But… she’s just a four-year-old girl,” Joey still whispered with disbelief.
There were many nobles and 10th-tier powerhouses among the customers who lined up to beg Master Rom for a weapon. Yet, the other party was only interested in the request of a four-year-old girl.
Joey knew very well that this might be his master’s last work. If it was wasted on a little girl’s unreasonable request, that would be the entire continent’s regret.
“Do you think Krassu and Urien are stupid? Given their characters, if they could compromise to take in Little Amy as their disciple, that shows that she must have great talent. Her future is bright.” Master Rom chuckled, and continued, “Furthermore, even though she is only four years old and still weak now, the weapon that I’m going to forge will be one that she can still use when she becomes a top powerhouse.”
Joey pondered, and worriedly said, “If that is the case, I’m afraid that weapon won’t be able to occupy a good spot on the Weapons’ Rankings.”
“Hoho. That’s just a boring ranking. If you want to get onto the ranking, the user’s power is more important than the weapon itself.” Master Rom shook his head. “The Tian Du sword is just a heavy and hard sword. It’s just a work that I used for practice in my early years, and yet it’s ranked number three on the Weapons’ Ranking.”
“But, there is no other sword in this world that is as heavy and hard as this sword,” Joey corrected. His master always judged his previous works harshly; he even put down the Tian Du sword.
However, it was just because Master Rom was such a person that he had continued to scale peak after peak, and created one legendary weapon after another.
“Tell them to hasten the building process of the workshop. Let’s return to our abode right away.” Master Rom closed his eyes and began to design the new weapon in his mind. He knew very well that this challenge would be unprecedented. However, it was just because of that his still heart began to beat again.
“Yes,” Joey answered softly, and then instructed the coachman to return to their abode. Then, he sat in the corner quietly.

“Ding! The system noticed that the Host had set up a hot pot restaurant branch, and made the first step in promoting scrumptious food in the alternate world. Announcing a new mission: the new hot pot restaurant must have 1000 patrons on its opening day! Mission reward: you will receive a mutton soup recipe! Mission failure: you will have to go and pick sheep’s dung at the extremely cold place in the northwestern area for half a month!”
The system’s voice suddenly appeared in Mag’s mind.
Mag was taken aback and frowned. “System, are you serious about picking sheep’s dung for half a month?”
“The real sheep’s dung,” answered the system.
“Today’s operation is already going to end, and you gave me this mission so suddenly. The hot pot restaurant is already going to open tomorrow, where am I going to find 1000 people?” Mag rolled his eyes with exasperation. This system was also too freaking irresponsible.
Mana Hot Pot Restaurant hadn’t done any promotion till now, and he had to fill the restaurant completely on the first day. This wasn’t going to be a simple task.
Mamy Restaurant only had its first customer after a hard time in the beginning, and it took some time to fill the restaurant with customers.
He didn’t want to go and pick sheep’s dung in some extremely cold place in the northwestern area. That thing wasn’t even as easy to pick as the cow’s dung.
After seeing the system remained silent, Mag took a look at the restaurant. The customers were already preparing to leave as it was near to the closing time.
“I can’t allow this batch of customers to escape.” Mag put down his spatula, and cleaned his hands with a towel before going out of the kitchen with a smile. “Excuse me, everybody, I have something to announce. Tomorrow, Mana Hot Pot Restaurant—which is opened by Mamy Restaurant’s designated hot pot area’s manager, Rena—will start its operation formally and usher in the new era of the fairly priced hot pot. We welcome all of you to go and try it out. Just turn left when you exit the door, and you will see it after walking for 500 meters.”
The customers stared at Mag and fell into a silence for a moment before they broke out into a commotion.
“My heavens. Did Boss Mag open a new hot pot restaurant behind our backs?”
“Fairly priced hot pot? Does that mean that it’s cheaper than Mamy Restaurant’s hot pot?”
“Mamy Restaurant’s hot pot will cost over 1000 per person if we’re to order meat. It hurts the pocket badly whenever we have it. I wonder how the new hot pot restaurant is priced?”
“Mamy Restaurant is having its off day as usual tomorrow, and I was just thinking about where to go and have my meals. Why don’t we go try out the new hot pot restaurant?”
The customers all expressed great enthusiasm for the new hot pot restaurant.
Is Boss promoting it personally? Rena heard it in the kitchen, and looked at Mag in surprise. Initially, she was still worried that the restaurant might have no business when it opened tomorrow. She also didn’t know how to advertise it, as this was her first time opening a restaurant.
Mag returned to the kitchen with a smile. The feedback was quite good. Although it couldn’t make up to 1000 people, at least it would resolve the problem of attracting the first batch of customers.
All things were difficult before they were easy. The most worrying part when opening a new shop was that nobody was willing to try it out. As long as the shop was boisterous, it could attract the surrounding crowd to come in to try it out and bring in the first batch of customers.
As for whether those customers would become regulars, that would depend on their potential.
Mag wasn’t worried about that at all.
He had eaten at Mana Hot Pot Restaurant before. The hot pot soup bases were very distinct. The spicy hot pot and clear soup hot pot both had their advantages. The ingredients were fresh and of high quality. The crux was that the price wasn’t even 20% of Mamy Restaurant’s.
The restaurant ended its service, and the cleanup was swiftly done with two to three magic spells.
Mag smiled at all of them. “Tomorrow is our off day, and Rena’s hot pot restaurant is also opening for business tomorrow. If all of you have nothing to do tomorrow, you can go and help out at the new restaurant. It might be a little busy on its very first day of business.”
Yabemiya raised her hand, and said, “Alright, I will go there in the morning.”
“Although I want to sleep in, if there’s hot pot for me to eat, then I’m fine with it.” Babla raised her hand too.
Everyone said that they were prepared to go help Rena out tomorrow.
“Actually, I’ve already made all the arrangements for the restaurant, and the employees have already undergone strict training and practice, so they should be able to handle it.” Rena shook her head smilingly at all of them. “It’s rare for all of you to have an off day, how could I make you all continue to help me out? But all of you can come to the restaurant for hot pot tomorrow. It will be my treat.”
“Since Rena is able to handle it, then let’s not go and make trouble for her. We will be content with being customers.” Mag nodded. It seemed like Rena had already done all the preparations.
Mag said to all of them, “Oh, yes. Invite all your friends to the restaurant tomorrow. It’ll be my treat. Let’s all go and have hot pot at Rena’s hot pot restaurant.”
