All of the nearby customers looked at the little loli with benevolent smiles on their faces. She was so chubby and adorable that it was impossible not to like her.
The little loli opened one eye surreptitiously to check on her father before immediately closing it upon making the discovery that her father was looking right at her. A resigned smile appeared on the man's face as he turned to look at the ice cream cone in Kenny's hands. He hesitated momentarily before conceding, "Alright, eat this tofu pudding, then have this small bowl of fried rice, and daddy will get you an ice cream."
"Really?" The little loli immediately opened her eyes.
"When has father ever lied to you?" The man looked at her with a doting smile.
"Yay! Thank you, Father!" The little Toli immediately sat up in her seat, and took the spoon from her father's hand before scooping a large spoonful of tofu pudding into her little mouth.
Thope I won't have to kneel on the washboard when I get back. The father heaved a resigned sigh at the sight of his adorable little daughter. He could never refuse her, so she always got what she wanted.
So this is what a 200 copper coin ice cream tastes like. It's completely different from the biscuits that are sold for one copper coin each. There really are foods that are indescribably good in this world. If I had enough money, I'd eat 10 more of these. After devouring the entire ice cream cone, Kenny looked at the paper cone in his hand with a slightly wistful expression. He pulled out his wallet before raising his hand to indicate that he was ready for the bill.
"Here are 200 copper coins." As Sally made her way over to him, Kenny handed over his wallet with a slightly nervous expression. There was probably no other customer in the restaurant that would pay with so many copper coins.
"Sure." Sally took the wallet, and began to count the copper coins within. After that, she tipped all of the copper coins into a little bag, and nodded at Kenny as she said, "There are exactly 200 copper coins here."
"Thank you." Kenny nodded before taking back his empty wallet, and exiting the restaurant. He looked back at the restaurant with a smile on his face, and earnestly said to himself, "I'm going to become the best hairdresser in Lace Hair Salon, and then the best hairdresser in Chaos City. When that time comes, I'm going to have all three meals here every single day."
After making that promise to himself, Kenny departed, and quickly strode over to the hair salon that he was working at.
After breakfast, many customers
also wanted to try the ice cream, and they were soon won over by this sweet and icy dessert. Even though cold foods were inadvisable in the mornings, they simply couldn't stop eating!
As Dicus was paying for his meal, he turned to Mag, and asked, "Mr. Mag, I want to take an ice cream cone back for my son. Would I be able to buy one for takeaway?"
"It's possible if you're an ice magic caster, but ice cream will melt very quickly in the normal temperature, so we don't sell it as a takeaway. You can bring him here on your day off." Mag shook his head with a smile.
"I see. Looks like I'll have to do that, then." Dicus nodded with a hint of disappointment on his face. He then gave Mag a thumbs-up, and said, "Mr. Mag, your restaurant will definitely become the most popular one in the Aden Square."
"You're far too kind." Mag gave a modest smile in response. He was already desensitized to compliments of this nature.
After the breakfast service, Sally and Yabemiya left the restaurant as they had plans to go shopping for clothes together.
Mag pushed open the door, and looked at the plot of vacant land outside as he asked internally, "System, the plot of land in front of the restaurant is mine now, so I've completed the mission, right?"
Mamy Restaurant was situated in
the westernmost corner of the
Aden Square, and was separated from the Bastie Prison by a wall that was close to five meters tall.
Of course, even though they neighbored the Bastie Prison, there was still some distance between the two buildings. The restaurant was about 20 meters away from the aforementioned wall, and two rows of trees were planted next to the wall, thereby making it less apparent that the restaurant was right next to the prison.
As for security, directly within the tall wall was a moat that was 10 meters deep, and in it were countless lethal traps. Beyond the moat were five more walls, encircling the Bastie Prison within.
Furthermore, the Bastie Prison was split into the first floor section and an underground section. The first floor section housed some low-level criminals who had committed relatively minor crimes. All of the powerful criminals or those who had committed more heinous crimes were locked up in the underground section. As for just how deep underground the deepest part of the prison was, that was something that only the warden and the city lord knew.
However, one thing was certaineven powerful 10th-tier beings would find it almost impossible to escape if they were locked up in the Bastie Prison. Furthermore, it was said that the amount of 10th-tier criminals in the Bastie Prison was no less than a two-digit number. Most of them were war criminals from the war among species, while others were criminals who had made severe
breaches of the law in more recent
years.
No one on the entire Norland Continent dared to treat the laws of Chaos City as a joke, and the main reason for that was all of the 10th-tier criminals that had been locked up for many years in the Bastie Prison.
15 years ago, Lord Rolan of the Gray Temple led a team of 10 elders to chase down a 10th-tier criminal from Chaos City. They chased him all the way to the dragon island, where the criminal was killed, but the team of elders was subsequently surrounded and trapped on the island.
City Lord Michael mobilized all of his forces in the entire city to attack the dragon island. The army was led by him and Principal Novan, and the dragon island finally caved in to the pressure, and was forced to release the team of elders from the Gray Temple.
After that event, the laws of Chaos City became renowned throughout the entire Norland Continent, and no one dared to look down on it.
After that, a rule was implemented in Chaos City, stating that all giant dragons below the 9th-tier had to assume their human form when entering Chaos City. They were not allowed to revert to their dragon
forms unless extraordinary
circumstances arose. Otherwise, they would be evicted from the city, and receive an eternal ban.
Mag turned his attention away from the walls of the Bastie Prison. It could be said that all of the main leaders in Chaos City at the moment were idealists. Regardless of whether it was the city lord, who wanted to implement absolute equality, the palace lord, who wanted to make the city a safe haven, or the principal, who wanted to bring education to everyone, all of them were far more guided by their ideals and beliefs rather than practical considerations. As such, everything they did was inexplicable to the rest of the world.
I have to admit, though, that without these people, Chaos City wouldn't be such an attractive place. A smile appeared on Mag's face.
Even with the small groove beside the prison wall, there was a path of about five to six meters in width in
front of the restaurant, which
would be enough space to place four four-seater tables.
"Ding! Congratulations on securing the right to set up an outdoor dining area! You have satisfied the requirement of a 16-seat capacity, so the mission has been successfully completed! Mission reward: an outdoor dining area construction package!" The system's voice sounded.
There was no one around anyway, so Mag instructed internally, "Alright, then construct it for me right now."
"Sorry, the restaurant is of too low a level, so expansion cannot be facilitated." The system's
obnoxious voice sounded.
