Chapter 2038: Annie, The Little Comic Artist

Mag was a little overwhelmed by the continuous rewards given out by the system.

It was as if he had received an unexpected windfall or a huge amount of pa.s.sive income.

Mag clicked open the cooked wheaten food gift package which contained: soup dumplings, shaved noodles, hot noodles with sesame paste, and Sichuan spicy wonton in red oil!

Four cooked wheaten dishes that covered almost every genre. Sichuan spicy wonton in red oil was even Mags favorite.

These four dishes could create more variety for their breakfast, and provide more selection for the customers.

For example, they could have a bowl of hot noodles with sesame paste or two piping hot soup dumplings if they didnt want to eat rice.

The system was surprisingly generous.

Then, Mag checked out that so-called mind-control ability.

It sounded just like a shameful ability that could rival with the time-stopping ability.

Fortunately, it landed in the hands of a righteous person like Mag.

However, after finding out more about it, instead of calling it mind control, it was an ability that could cause a brief spell of dizziness, and granted an immunity to powerful spiritual skills.

That was all?

That was all the mind control ability could do?

Wasnt it too inferior to time-stopping?

Mag was slightly disappointed.

However, this was an upgradable skill. As long as the hosts spiritual power was strong enough, the ability could become more powerful.

Of course, what Mag cared about was the immunity effect against spiritual skills.

When he could already take down the whole world with a chefs knife, only the Great Old Ones could threaten him.

Additionally, mind control was what the Great Old Ones were best at. It was also the ability that gave him the most trouble.

Even the current Mag was afraid he could suffer at their hands if he wasnt careful.

Tentacle monster + mind control.

See, such a natural pervert was just that invincible.

As for that mysterious roller pin, it was actually just a waterproof rod that could expand and shrink according to the occasion.

Of course, Mag had no idea why the system specially labeled its waterproofness.

However, since he had so many cooked wheaten food items to make, a roller pin was an essential tool.

Father, Mother, Big Sister Annie drew a picture book yesterday. Ill bring it over to show you guys, Amy suddenly said after breakfast.

Oh? Really? Mag was a little surprised.

Annie revealed a shy smile, and nodded slightly.

Irina looked at Annie expectantly. Has Annie already learned how to draw? I would like to see it.

Ill go take it. Amy ran upstairs, and came down with a picture book in a short while.

On the cover of the picture book was a beautiful mermaid with a giant blue colorful fishtail, red curly hair, and a beautiful face. She looked a little like Gina. The mermaid was leaning against a rock with the vast blue ocean behind her.

The Little Mermaid.

It was Annies favorite childrens story.

Wow. Mags lit up. This mermaid was so nicely drawn.

Unfortunately, he wasnt cultured.

He only knew how to use the description beautiful.

Its much better than most of the picture books covers that we have seen that day. Its very well-drawn. Irina praised her too.

Mag took the picture book, and flipped it open. It was indeed the story of The Little Mermaid.

The blue rippling sea, the splendid s.h.i.+p sailing on the sea, the flying seagulls, and the dolphins that leaped out of the sea

Be it the backdrop or the characters, they were all drawn excellently.

If he had to pick a flaw, then the storyboard was a little weak, making the storys flow seem less smooth.

However, it was already very good for a first-timer. The level of completion was already amazing.

Yes.

Annie completed the entire The Little Mermaid by herself on the second day she learned how to draw.

What was this?

This was talent.

Her amazing drawing talent and the tentacle monsters speed that every comic artist envied.

With the enhancement of such talent, she was destined to become an excellent comic artist.

Its very nicely drawn. Its beautiful and interesting, and it tells the story perfectly. Mag looked at Annie with gratification, as if he had just found an excellent child laborer.

The smile on Annies face got even brighter, as if she had never been so happy before.

Mag put down the picture book, and lamented to Annie, However, if only we could add a scene whereby the prince cooks for the little mermaid, it would then explain why the little mermaid fell in love with the prince and why she loves him so much.

Annie tilted her head and pondered. Her eyes slowly brightened. She smilingly nodded and accepted Mags suggestion.

However, Annie quickly asked Mag with sign language a question. What dish is the little prince going to cook for her?

Spicy grilled fish? Mag replied without any hesitation.

What???

The three of them stared at Mag.

Its not really suitable, right Mag murmured. After thinking for some time, he said, The red braised pork, then.

Why is it red braised pork? Amy asked.

Mag smilingly answered, Because the mermaid has never eaten pork, nor seen a pig run before, so she was amazed when she ate the red braised pork, and fell in love with the little prince.

But Ginas favorite food is the beggars chicken. Irina raised her doubt.

Annie and Amy nodded in agreement. Big Sister Ginas favorite was the beggars chicken. She even ate the mud casing.

This is an artistic work. Making the beautiful mermaid munch on mud casing doesnt seem too elegant. Mag shook his head.

Of course, his main concern was that those people could never master a high-end dish like the beggars chicken.

Just to apply the mud casing on the chicken would cause many of them to flop.

As for the red braised pork, this was indeed a nice dish that was quick and easy to cook.

Yes, after seeing Annies drawing, he had already decided to add an advertis.e.m.e.nt in the middle of this version of The Little Mermaid.

An issue of the

Perfect Food

had already let him jump two levels up and receive many awards. He came to know the benefits of it.

Therefore, he became much more attentive to the matter of increasing his faith value. This was a solid pa.s.sive income which had an astonis.h.i.+ng input-output ratio.

Mags seemingly reasonable explanation convinced three of them successfully.

Annie decided to add the scene of the little prince cooking red braised pork in the comic.

Mag was very attentive to it. He specially demonstrated to Annie on the spot a simplified but detailed version of red braised pork. At the same time, he crazily hinted to Annie that this was the most important part of the entire comic, and she had to draw it as realistic and detailed as possible. The best was to let the readers replicate the process from the comic.

At the same time, he tactfully pointed out the problems of the storyboard to Annie.

Mag wasnt a comic artist, but he had grown up reading all kinds of comics. He still knew how to appreciate one.

Annie went upstairs, and continued her creation.

She was indeed a hardworking little comic artist.

Is this one of your plans to expand your influence? Irina looked at Mag with a faint smile.

Mag nodded with a smile. I just want to give my childs comic some core compet.i.tiveness. One that no one can ever imitate.

Yes. A priceless red braised porks recipe.

While Mag was trying to expand his influence with Annies help, at the same time, he had also given a powerful core to Annies comic..
