Chapter 1690: Goats Are So Cute, They Must Be Delicious
Mag’s eyes were wide open when he saw that the spot in the fridge where the mutton was supposed to be was now empty.
A bad feeling started rising inside.
“Ding! The disappearance of the mutton triggered a new mission. Please reach the Blue Grassland at the extremely cold place in the northwestern area to search for and catch a black goat called Polar Black Goat within three days. Once you succeed in your mission, you will receive the right to use the Polar Black Goat as an ingredient and another mysterious gift.” The system’s voice sounded.
“F*ck, here you go again.” Mag rolled his eyes. He had just had a premonition that the system had something up its sleeve. Indeed, even if he wasn’t made to go to the extreme cold in the northwestern area to pick the goat’s feces, he still had to go, just that now he had to go there to catch the goat itself.
“The Blue Grassland, heh, do you think I’m a wolf from children’s stories?” Mag rolled his eyes. He said in a firm tone, “The break is already over. I cannot stand my customers up. What if they were to curse me to become a customer who keeps being stood up by chefs in my next life?”
“The three-day countdown has already started. If you fail the mission, the system will take back the rights to the mutton soup recipe,” the system replied calmly.
Mag frowned silently for a very long time before silently giving the middle finger.
(╥,╥)凸
Who would have known how many black goats he had slaughtered, how many goat’s bones he had chopped up, and how much mutton he had sliced last night just to make a bowl of rich, white, and fresh mutton soup that he was satisfied with?
He wanted to get up early today to make everyone a warm and delicious bowl of mutton soup, but the system foiled his plans.
“I can do the mission, but you’ll have to at least give me a location. The extremely cold place in the northwestern area is acres wide. Where do you want me to find the Blue Grassland and catch the black goat?” Mag dissed.
“The Blue Grassland is very striking in the extreme cold place in the northwestern area. I believe you would be able to find it very easily. As for the black goat, you might be able to get more useful information from the local shepherds.”
“That means no information at all.” Mag pressed his lips together. He did not expect the system to give him any more hints. After thinking for a while, he wrote a notice of a one-day extension for the break and hung it at the door.
He would have to go sooner or later. To be safe, it was better to finish the mission earlier.
Firis was the first to arrive at the restaurant. The moment she entered, she immediately asked Mag with bewilderment, “Boss, why are we on a break again today?”
“I’ll let everyone know once the rest have arrived,” Mag said with a smile.
Everyone started arriving subsequently, including Shirley, who had recovered from her injuries, and officially returned to the team.
They just had a break yesterday, and Mag put out another notice for a break today again. That made everyone a little puzzled.
“Since everyone is here, I will announce the reason we are having a break today.” Mag looked at everyone with a smile, and said, “I feel that everyone has been too busy during this period, and all of you didn’t really have the time to sit down and chat with each other. We didn’t even have enough opportunity for the new members to get to know each other. That is an extremely regretful thing for team bonding.
“Therefore, I’ve decided that we would go on a break today and organize a team bonding session with all the employees. We are going to the Blue Grassland in the northwestern area to play.”
Amy’s eyes lit up as she said with surprise, “Are we going to the grassland to catch goats?”
“We can do that too.” Mag nodded with a smile.
“The northwestern area should be extremely cold right now,” Elizabeth said hesitantly. The previous team-bonding session was set at the Demon Islands. Everyone had an enjoyable time basking in the sun and playing with water.
“Then it’s perfect to ski and snowboard there,” Mag said.
Catching goats wasn’t something major, but it would take up a lot of time. Therefore, it was suitable to bring everyone along and let the team bond at the same time.
Angela and Jane weren’t very familiar with everyone, so this could be an opportunity for everyone to strengthen their friendship.
“Skiing!”
Angela’s and Jane’s eyes lit up. The Demon Islands were hot all year round, and they’d never even seen frost before, not to mention going skiing.
The others also appeared very interested.
“I have something on today, so I won’t be having fun with you all.” After finishing her porridge, Irina waved to everyone and disappeared amidst a golden glow.
Mag knew that she had to be worried about the issue at the Thunderstorm Mountains, so he did not ask her to stay. He picked up his empty bowl, and said, “Alright, everyone, have your breakfast, and then we’ll get ready to set off.”
“Father, what about me? Can I skip classes and go to catch goats?” Amy asked expectantly.
“Does Little Amy like catching goats?” Mag asked with a smile.
“Mm-hm. Goats are so cute, they must be delicious,” Amy said with a nod.
Mag smiled. He stroked Amy’s head, and said, “I doubt Master Urien has time for class today. There’s no need to take leave. Little Amy can join us.”
“Yippee!” Amy jumped happily. It was great to be able to play for two days.
After breakfast, Mag brought some snacks and seasoning along before leading the group out.
Mag rented a 5th-tier eagle flying steed. It was a flying magic beast that used its head as a weapon, so it almost banged its way to extinction. It was nothing special, except that it could carry a huge load, and its speed was almost that of a 7th-tier flying magic beast. The downside was that it could not block out the wind.
However, that was no problem to Mag and the rest, as Babla’s windshield could easily do the job.
“Actually, I can bring everyone over,” Yabemiya said as she sat on the eagle’s back.
“We’re going out to play today, how can we tire you out?” Mag said with a shake of his head. He was not a stingy boss. He looked at everyone with a smile, and said, “The journey would take around three hours. Why don’t we play a game of Werewolf?”
“Werewolf?” Everyone looked at Mag with bewilderment.
“Mm-hmm. Werewolf is a rather interesting strategy game. The game splits the players up into two camps: the werewolf camp and the good people camp. The good people win when all the werewolves are eliminated, and the werewolves win when all the villagers are eliminated. Here are the rules…”
As Mag was someone who didn’t enjoy playing seated games, Werewolf was one of the rare seated games that he knew, and it was also suitable for a setting with a large number of people like now.
Work in the restaurant was usually rather hectic. Therefore, even though everyone had been working together, and many stayed in the same dormitory, they actually didn’t have much time to really communicate and interact with each other.
This completely new game was quite a challenge to the ladies. Despite making a lot of mistakes, there was still a lot of laughter and joy. This was supposed to be a nerve-racking strategy detective game, but it became a self-exposing game, and amidst all the truths and lies, Mag, the initiator of the game, became the biggest loser.
Amy suddenly stood up and pointed at the horizon as she exclaimed, “Wow, why is that grassland blue?”
“Looks like we’ve arrived.” Mag stood up and looked out toward the horizon that slowly became blue. His eyes lit up as he didn’t expect there to really be a piece of blue grassland at the extremely cold place in the northwestern area.
