Chapter 41 - Peaceful Smoke and Fire (2/2)
As for a magister, their energy requirements were not small either, so their appetite was naturally larger than ordinary people.
“Alright, I’ll get it ready.”
Sister Yun immediately entered the shop to prepare the dishes.
There was some cooked food that was prepared during the day. After cutting and putting it on a plate, it would be served on the table.
There were also side dishes like boiled peanuts and boiled beans that were provided free of charge. Customers could chat and eat while waiting for their orders.
“How is it? It tastes alright, right?”
“How’s this compared to the food in the top floor restaurant of that Liboli or whatever?”
Austin asked with a smile as he watched Hika eat the beef jerky with relish.
Hika rolled her eyes at Austin, picked up a piece of fat and juicy beef, and popped it in her mouth. “Of course it’s delicious. It’s not like I haven’t eaten at a food stall before.”
Not only did the food taste good, but the atmosphere was also good.
Children ran around the table to play.
The adults laughed around in their conversation.
There was also a girl playing the guitar who accepted ordered songs before singing.
There was a happy, harmonious, and equal aura here.
There was no pretentiousness, no mutual deception, and no class order.
There was only the ordinary, love, food, and simplicity.
There was an old magick transmitter at the food stall.
Magick transmitters were divided into many types, and they could be labeled as televisions, radios, and other items.
It was playing a segment of the evening news.
A reporter stood in front of the mostly burnt magic core power plant in the broadcast of the scene.
“Hello everyone. This is the Faye City News, and it’s eight in the evening. I’m Reporter Lan, reporting to you at the magic core power plant.
“Just an hour ago, I believe everyone heard the explosion from the southern city area.
“It was confirmed that there was an explosion at the Fire Scale Magic Core Power Plant in the South District, causing a huge fire.”
The voice from the magic transmitter attracted the attention of the customers at the food stall.
Their eyes focused on the magick transmitter.
“An explosion occurred in the Fire Scale Magic Core Power Plant?”
Hika frowned.
“If it was really the explosion at the Fire Scale Magic Core Power Plant, the fire would be massive.”
Austin nodded. “Indeed, it’s scary.”
The female reporter on the magick transmitter continued, “The Faye City Fire Department arrived as soon as possible and began putting out the fire. However, the fire was too big to put out.”
“Right when everyone was at their wits’ end, a miracle occurred.”
The beautiful reporter stopped for a moment. The audience in front of the magick transmitter was scratching their heads, wanting to know what had happened.
“Hurry up and finish reporting!”
“Eh, what’s the point of selling it at the critical moment?”
“This girl is quite pleasant-looking, but she’s wishy-washy.”
The news footage zoomed in on a fireman.
“Now, let’s get a firefighter present to describe the scene when the miracle occurred.”
The pretty reporter handed the microphone to the fireman.
The fireman received the microphone. His face was dark and rough, but his eyes were clear.
As he recalled the scene, excitement and admiration surfaced on his face again.
“To be honest, we don’t know what exactly happened at the time.
“We only saw the intense flames surrounding the magic core power plant flying into the sky as if they have a mind of their own.”
