Chapter 1921: The First Experience Of Dating
Mag sent Mylo and Garlan away, and kept the tea set. Then, he went to the study on the second floor to ponder about how to write the first gourmet tutorial.
A magazine was currently this world’s most widespread paper media. It was the simplest and most effective way to expand his influence.
Although he had already begun to study how to reduce the manufacturing costs of the magicvision, shrinking its size and making it suitable for family use, it was still long before it could be made into an entertainment device that every household loved.
However, wasn’t it nice to buy a magazine for 10-odd copper coins, and learn a tip-top recipe apart from reading about the gossip in the culinary world?
Mag didn’t want fame or influence, but real apprentice fans who could provide him with the power of faith.
He wanted to use Perfect Food, which was a good platform to conduct “cloud teaching,” to gain more fans, and more people could learn to cook from him. It would allow him to gain fans and upgrade while promoting good food at the same time.
As for why he didn’t want to sign the exclusivity contract, this involved Mag’s greater ambition.
A top gourmet magazine could have about 1,000,000 fans, but what about 10 gourmet magazines? Taking away the same readers, there could be at least 5,000,000 fans.
Jumping out of the small pond of gourmet magazines, if he could collaborate with those tabloid news magazines that were even more popular with the people, he could gain contact with even more groups of fans.
He didn’t care about that little remuneration fee from the magazine press. Doing anything else was easier than earning money through writing.

“You have to give me a treat tonight. You have got Boss Mag, and Perfect Food is going to take off now.” Mylo slapped Garlan’s shoulder hard with an obviously excited expression.
“It’s a pity that we didn’t get the exclusivity.” Garlan sighed, but he couldn’t hide the smile on his face.
This was indeed a surprise. He thought it was already great to be able to interview Mag, and make sure that the next issue was going to sell out.
He didn’t expect to get Mag to write a gourmet tutorial column for the magazine after the interview. A pay raise and promotion for him were expected.
“Speaking of it, Boss Mag is really a great chef. The usual chefs can’t wait to bring their recipes to their graves, yet Boss Mag is willing to share the recipes that he created without any remuneration. Moreover, he is going to share it in a magazine with all the good food lovers in the world,” Mylo praised with wonder.
Garlan also stopped smiling, and said with admiration, “Indeed. He said he wanted to elevate the food standard of this world, and he wasn’t just saying. He is really doing something about it, and taking out the most precious thing for it.”

Michael came to the ice cream shop, and found Babla, who was scooping ice cream for the children. He smilingly said, “Princess Babla, can I speak to you in private?”
“Wait a minute.” Babla gave the ice cream to the children before turning to look at Michael. “May I ask what it is about?”
Michael looked at the children around him, and said to Babla, “Why don’t we talk outside.”
“Alright.” Babla nodded, and followed Michael out of the ice cream shop. They went to a quiet corner of the park.
Michael stood next to a bench, and apologetically said, “Sorry to interrupt your work. Because it is an emergency, I hope Princess Babla won’t mind this.”
“It’s fine. Please go on.” Babla had a good impression of Michael.
“Princess Babla has fought along with us, so I don’t intend to hide this from you. The devil has appeared again, and it has already escaped from the seal,” Michael said straightforwardly.
“Escaped?” Babla was shocked. Her fear of the devil wasn’t completely eradicated yet, so she was indeed shocked by this news.
Michael shook his head. “It isn’t the one from the Thunderstorm Mountains. Alex and Irina found a new seal under Dragon Island, but the seal was already broken, and the Great Old One in that seal had already disappeared.”
“Which means there could be a devil around us right now?” Babla’s eyes widened, and she looked around her instinctively.
“We don’t have to worry too much now. We can definitely find its traces quickly if it appears in Chaos City. The biggest problem now is that we cannot identify its actual location,” Michael consoled her with a smile.
“Then why are you here looking for me, City Lord? Although I am quite capable, I don’t think I stand a chance against a devil.” Babla looked at Michael perplexedly.
“We are more worried about that devil going to the Thunderstorm Mountains to break the seal, rescue the octopus monster, and rejoin their bodies. By then, we might be facing an opponent who is so powerful that it will be unmatched.” Michael’s expression became gradually graver. “Therefore, on behalf of Chaos City and all the races of the Norland Continent, I humbly ask the Moon Nation to help us build another seal spell formation in the Thunderstorm Mountains so that we could trap that devil when it appears again.”
Babla understood now. She nodded in agreement after a brief consideration. “I will pass these words to my father, but I cannot promise that the Moon Nation will definitely send people over.”
“Thank you, Princess Babla. Please tell the king of Moon Nation that the Norland Continent will remember your kindness and return your favor.”
“Alright.” Babla nodded.

Beyond the city, on the peak of a rock mountain.
Douglas looked at Elizabeth with a hint of pity as he said, “Elizabeth, you should already know that your father is most likely no longer with us. Come back with me. You are still one of us Frost Dragons.”
“I have stopped thinking so after the day that Alex brought me away.” Elizabeth looked at Douglas expressionlessly. She didn’t hide the contempt in her eyes. “I will go back, but not now, and not in the condition of being pitied.”
Douglas frowned and looked at Elizabeth with pursed lips. He seemed to have seen that stubborn dragon youth in the past.
“Anybody could sit on the Frost Dragons’ throne, but it will belong to me eventually. Let Fox sit on it for a while first. I will take back whatever I have lost,” Elizabeth said coldly before she turned around and stepped out. The frost under her feet consolidated into a giant snowflake, and she disappeared from the mountaintop.
Douglas stood on the peak alone for a long time, but he had a relieved smile on his face.
“This lass indeed resembles Rankster. Since this is the case, I don’t have to worry about Louis trying to poach her away. This child still belongs to us, the Frost Dragons.”

Georgina saw that big guy holding a big red flower, and stomping his feet under the stone statue from afar. He was wearing a comfortable long robe, which made his big round body look even more rotund, but he looked very comfortable and relaxed.
