Chapter 749 Keyboard Warrior Shen Mag?

A smile appeared on the attendant’s face upon hearing this. It was indeed a monumental opportunity to be able to meet the king. In the past, he had seen many people who were too nervous to even walk properly on their way to meeting the king for the first time, so Mag was already one of the calmer people he had seen in this position. “There’s no need to worry; His Majesty is a very benevolent man.”

Mag nodded in response, but he was still reeling internally.

Of course, he wasn’t reeling at the prospect of being able to meet the king; it was just that the system’s reward had given him a massive surprise.

He had thought that the so-called super reward package would consist of something like a strength point, but not that it would be a chance to temporarily return to the height of his powers!

What did that mean?

It meant that he would become the most powerful knight on the entire Norland Continent for a short time! He would become the dragonslayer, Mag Alex!

The height of his powers stood at the pinnacle of the entire Norland Continent!

“System, when you say the height of my powers, you mean the height of Mag Alex’s powers, right?” Mag inquired for confirmation.

“Whom else could I be referring to? Keyboard Warrior Shen Mag?” the system replied with a question of its own.

“…”

Mag was suddenly struck by a sense of mixed emotions. Since when did the system become so cheeky?

“What’s wrong with being a keyboard warrior? If it weren’t for my exploits as a keyboard warrior, you wouldn’t even have been created! At the height of my powers, I would’ve stood close to the pinnacle of all keyboard warriors, just like how Alex once stood at the pinnacle of this continent!” Mag retorted internally.

“Is that right? Should I change the reward so you can get a chance to return to the height of your power as Keyboard Warrior Shen Mag instead? I can even throw in a keyboard free of charge.”

“That won’t be necessary! I’m still every bit the keyboard warrior as I was during my heyday!” Mag immediately refused. Returning to the height of Mag Alex’s powers would transform him into the most powerful being on the entire continent. In contrast, what was he going to do with a keyboard? Bring it into battle and swat his opponents to death with it?

“System, how long will I be able to attain this level of power for?” Mag asked. This reward was like a talisman that could save his life in a dire situation.

“The power boost will last a maximum of 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, you’ll return to your base state, and you’ll also be debilitated for a period of time, so make sure to use this power wisely,” the system replied in a serious voice.

“10 minutes? What am I supposed to be? Ultraman? And I’ll be debilitated afterward as well?”

Mag’s brows furrowed upon hearing this. The time limit was far shorter than he had anticipated.

“Ultraman has yet to be verified as an actual living organism. However, after watching the entire Ultraman series, the system has discovered that all of the monsters defeated by Ultraman could’ve existed on Earth at some point in time. However—”

“Are you really a food system? What are you doing watching the entire Ultraman series?!” Mag was suddenly struck by an urge to laugh.

“Er… Umm… The system was viewing the series to assess the viability of using those monsters as ingredients for cooking. An exceptional chef should always be trying to explore new ingredients and cooking methods. You should learn from the system in that regard…”

“Forget it. How about you spend your time researching existing ingredients instead?” Mag rolled his eyes in response. He cast his gaze toward the glamorous palace up ahead and took a deep breath before hurriedly following the attendant into the palace.

The female servants had cleared away all of the delectable dishes on the tables, and replaced them with plates of fresh fruits and desserts.

Everyone was eagerly awaiting the arrival of this extraordinary Chef Mag. He had been invited to Rodu to cook for the king, and the king himself had also been extremely impressed with his dishes. It was quite clear that he was going to be a rising star in the royal kitchen, and everyone was very curious about just what kind of man he was.

He must be a chef with vast experience to be able to cook such delicious dishes, so he must be quite old, right? What a pity. Many of the female guests present were heaving forlorn sighs internally.

If he reveals his true identity right now, he would be sweeping up a massive storm across the entire Norland Continent. It’s just that he lacks concrete evidence to prove that the assassination ever took place, so he won’t be able to achieve much. Irina furrowed her brows with a contemplative look on her face. But if he’s not here to reveal the truth to everyone, then why did he accept the invitation to Rodu? Surely he couldn’t have come here just so he could earn this best dish award.

Irina was unable to comprehend what Mag was trying to do. He was clearly nowhere near as powerful as in the past, and no matter how perfect his disguise was, there was always a chance that his cover could be blown, especially when he was receiving such widespread scrutiny. So why was he taking this risk?

So be it. Regardless of what happens, I’m going to protect you and Xiao Mi, and I’m going to make sure that no one ever hurts you again, Irina vowed to herself. She cast her gaze toward Amy, who was joyfully munching on a large apple, and a warm light gradually surfaced in her eyes.

Byron turned to Luna with a shocked expression, and asked, “That’s the Mr. Mag you were talking about?”

The multiplication table that Mag had presented was absolutely revolutionary, and only a mathematical genius could come up with such a simple yet vastly useful tool. He had been studying mathematics for several decades, and even he was stunned by Mag’s brilliancy.

However, a genius mathematician like him had also just received the best dish award during the king’s birthday banquet?

This was absolutely absurd to him, and for a moment, he thought he had to have been dreaming.

Luna smiled and nodded as she replied, “That’s right. Mr. Mag’s cooking is the most delicious I’ve ever had, and he’s also the most brilliant mathematician I’ve ever seen.”

“What a freakish prodigy.” Byron heaved a long sigh with an expression of awe and wonder on his face. He was looking forward to seeing Mag even more now.

Indeed, he’s someone that makes everyone want to look up to him, Luna thought to herself. Mag had never disappointed her, and it seemed that he was full of surprises and miracles.

Richard wore a slightly dark expression as he remained seated in his chair. Even though Josh had been the one who had invited this chef and he was a part of Josh’s political faction, he simply couldn’t stomach the fact that this Chef Mag was the father of that little half-elf brat. If it weren’t for the fact that Krassu and Josh were present in the palace, he would be extremely tempted to kill her on the spot.

As for Josh and Sean, neither of them had any spare mental capacity to worry about what anyone else was thinking. Both of them were too busy eagerly awaiting the jugs of ice water they had requested.

Right at this moment, a loud announcement sounded from outside the palace. “Chef Mag is here!”

Everyone turned their attention toward the entrance of the palace in unison. They were first greeted by the sight of the attendant who had been ordered to fetch Mag to the palace, followed by a young man in a black and white chef’s suit.

This man had a tall and graceful build, and his black and white chef’s suit complemented his figure very well. His short brown hair had been combed in an immaculate manner, and the mustache on his handsome face further contributed to enhancing his good looks.

One of the female guests present couldn’t help but exclaim, “Is that the chef? Oh my God, he’s so handsome!”
