"What a poor kid; he made such a stupid decision. If he misses this opportunity, he'll never get another chance to taste Father's cooking again." Amy looked at Eva and Evan with a sympathetic expression before taking a big bite of the beef, and a joyful smile appeared on her face again.
Meg looked at the beef kebab nailed to the tree, and was a little disappointed that the fruits of his labor had gone to waste. He then turned to Evan and Eva, and a mocking smile appeared on his face. Those two must be having a hard time holding back their hunger.
After over an hour, almost half of the beef was in everyone's stomachs. Meg didn't rest at all, and only at the very end did he have time to eat a few kebabs.
The two centimeter cube of beef was just enough to fill his mouth. The tender beef was enshrouded in delicious sauce, and it melted into the most delicious flavor in his mouth. His taste buds and every single cell in his body opened up, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart. It was better than any beef he had ever tasted in the past.
"And this is only ordinary wild beef. If it were a top-grade Ironhide Bull, the texture and deliciousness would most likely be elevated to another level. Today's meal was a taste test, and the response was quite good. Looks like it's going to be another popular dish in the restaurant." A smile appeared on Meg's face as he looked at the beef kebab in his hand. Furthermore, he had repaid the favor of the Purple Golden Mink fur. After all, everyone had eaten at least 10 kebabs, and Meg was already planning to set the price at 300 copper coins. At the very least, it would be slightly more expensive than the tofu pudding, right?
"This is the most delicious meal I've ever had in the wilderness as a mercenary!" Dennis wiped his mouth with a genuine expression of praise.
"Burp! This is the most delicious meal I've ever had in my life! "Skol burped with a bashful smile.
Monkey jumped down from a nearby tree, and turned to Meg with an expectant expression. "Say, Big Brother Meg, how about you join our Rose Mercenary Squad? You'll cook for us every day, and we'll take care of the missions."
"Yeah, I think it's a good idea. That way, we'll be able to eat delicious food every day in the wastelands." Sam clapped his hands.
All of the mercenaries also turned to Mag with expectant looks in their eyes. Even Sivir was looking at Mag with a hint of interest in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, but my main job is still to run the restaurant and cook. Gathering ingredients is just an occasional activity, so I can't join your mercenary group. If you still want to eat my food, you can go to Mamy's in the Aden Square. That's my restaurant." Meg smiled and shook his head. He had no intention of becoming a mercenary. A life of bloodshed was not suitable for a stay-at-home dad like him.
"I see …" The mercenaries looked disappointed. Monkey scratched his head and wanted to say something.
"Alright, Mr. Meg is still taking care of little Amy, so it's not a good time for you to become a mercenary. Besides, we don't have the time to spend two hours in the wastelands every day to have a meal. Let's go to Mr. Meg's restaurant when we have a break." Chiwil smiled as he looked at Meg, and praised, "You're a very good chef."
"You're too kind." Meg nodded slightly, and his mood became even better.
"Alright, then I'll definitely go to Big Brother Meg's restaurant during this break. Since we're so close, can you give me a discount?" Monkey looked at Meg with a smile.
"The restaurant doesn't give discounts to anyone, but it's my basic requirement to make sure that every customer feels like they're getting their money's worth," Meg said with a smile.
"If someone else had said that, I would definitely think that they were bragging, but since you're the one who said that, I believe you!" Dennis gave Meg a thumbs-up.
Chiwil's smile faded, and a serious expression appeared on his face as he said, "Alright, we've wasted a lot of time with lunch, so it's time for us to continue our journey. It'll only take half an hour to reach the Illusionary Mist Valley from here, so let's all rest up and prepare for the upcoming battle."
"Yes." All of the mercenaries nodded in response before checking their equipment. They then placed the remaining half of the bull onto the horse-drawn carriage, and prepared to continue their journey.
Evan said that he had to go check out the situation first, so he left first.
Meg quickly put away all of the bottles that he had brought with him, washed his hands, and also got onto the horse-drawn carriage with Amy and Ugly Duckling in his arms. They were about to reach the Illusionary Mist Valley, and their battle was about to begin. He was determined to capture an Ironhide Bull today as the mission reward was simply too tempting.
"Ding! The system is warning the host that the mission to capture the Ironhide Bull must be completed by the host on his own. If the host relies on the assistance of others, the system will deem the mission a failure, and the host will be punished! "
The system's stern voice sounded in an implacable manner.
"Alright, I understand. I don't plan to travel with them anyway. There are so many of them, and it'll be difficult to split the spoils." Meg rolled his eyes internally. Judging from the teamwork of the Rose Mercenary Squad, he could tell that Chiwil was the most powerful among them. However, she hadn't even reached the 4th-tier yet. Even though it was already quite impressive that she had reached this level of power at her age, objectively speaking, she still wasn't as powerful as Amy in battle.
"The system is warning the host once again: the use of unconventional weapons during the mission is strictly prohibited!" The system's voice became even more serious.
"Big Brother Sam, how are the Ironhide Bulls distributed in the Illusionary Mist Valley? Are they everywhere? "Meg chose to ignore the system as he turned to Sam with a question.
"Of course not. There are Ironhide Bulls in the Illusionary Mist Valley, but they've all been hunted and killed over the years, so their numbers have become very sparse. It's all down to luck whether or not you'll encounter one. Furthermore, the Illusionary Mist Valley is very vast, and it's enshrouded in mist all year round, so visibility is extremely low. Aside from the Ironhide Bulls, there are also other magic beasts that roam the valley, so it's extremely dangerous. Also, it's very easy for unfamiliar people to get lost in the mist, which is very lethal in the wilderness. " Sam shook his head as he looked at Meg with a serious expression, and said, "Hence, I suggest that you don't take little Amy into the Illusionary Mist Valley. It's known to be a man-eating mist."
"Alright, I'll think about it." Meg nodded with a grim expression. It appeared that the situation in the Illusionary Mist Valley was even more complicated than he had imagined.
After traveling for a while, a thought suddenly occurred to Meg, and he hurriedly asked, "Oh, right, I think I forgot to take my grill. Can you stop the carriage so I can go back and get it?"
Monkey turned to Meg, and asked, "Do you need me to turn the carriage around and get it for you?"
"There's no need for that. It's only a corner away, so I'll be back soon." Meg put down his backpack before quickly making his way back. This grill had cost him 100 bucks, and it was a must-have for traveling, so it would be a pity to throw it away.
