Chapter 23

nRennes stared at the map on the table for a while, then shook his head.

nAfter that, he looked at the garden outside the window and the beautiful figure standing under the sun, and his mood instantly improved.

n

n

nSure enough, compared to the troublesome matter of managing a country, it was much preferable to go out and bask in the sun. Even cultivating magical plants was more comfortable than this.

nRennes thus went straight to the garden.

nAfter all, he had said that he would ripen the magic potatoes, and now’s as good a time as any.

nFor some time afterwards, Rennes worked on the potatoes under Trish’s curious gaze.

n

n

nThe two of them gradually immersed themselves in the cultivation of magic potatoes.

n..

nHalf a month later.

nIt was a fine morning.

n

n

nLifa had stayed up all night, signing off on port-related matters.

nAt the moment, she was lying on the table in the administrative hall, drooling and sleeping soundly without a care for her status as a queen at all.

nSuddenly, the voice of a guard came from outside the door:

n“Your Majesty, the groundnuts… no, the potatoes cultivated by Lord Rennes are ripe. He invited you over to have a taste!”

n“Alright, inform Lord Rennes that I accept the invitation!” Lifa told the guard at the door.

n“Can you really eat groundnuts? No, I guess I should call them potatoes now. Oh, I really want to taste them!” Lying on the table, Lifa flashed an eager smile.

n

n

nDuring the past month, Lifa had her own matters to take care of, and so did Rennes.

nTherefore, although only a month had passed, it felt like a long time.

nMeanwhile, Rennes was extremely busy in his residence.

nAfter a month of painstaking cultivation, the potatoes had finally matured.

nLooking at the large yellow potatoes on the ground, Rennes could not help but feel immense satisfaction.

nIn this world, the mages were usually very picky about their food, so there were all kinds of spices, not much different from Rennes’ previous life.

nAfter sending Tracy away, Rennes was the only one left in the kitchen.

nChef Rennes, reporting for service!

n

n

nShredded potato, potato chips, mashed potatoes, stewed beef with potatoes…

nRennes wanted to cook a feast of potatoes. In his previous life, he had decent culinary skills, and in the game, he had even trained his culinary skills to the maximum level.

nTherefore, if Rennes got serious, the food he made would not be much inferior to the food made by a five-star hotel chef.

nClink! Clank! Clink! Clank!

nRennes got busy in the kitchen.

nOutside the kitchen, in a corner that was hidden behind a closet.

nThree little faces peeked out from the corner, secretly watching Rennes cook in the kitchen, as well as enjoying the increasingly rich aroma of food.

nThe faces belonged to Trish and two other maids whom Lifa had prepared for Rennes when he moved in.

nThe three of them had been living with Rennes for over a month now.

nThey already knew that Lord Rennes, who seemed very mysterious to outsiders, was actually very friendly and was not someone who put on airs.

nAt the moment, seeing how unusually Rennes was behaving, they became more and more curious.

n“Wow, it smells so good!”

n“I didn’t expect Lord Rennes to know how to cook. Lord Rennes is so amazing. Is there anything he can’t do?”

n

n

n“Those are groundnuts, right? I’m a little scared!”

n“They’re already potatoes now. I watched Lord Rennes work on them for half a month. Don’t worry, you can safely eat as much as you want when Lord Rennes is done!”

n“But this feast is prepared for the Queen. Do we have a share too?”

n“Lord Rennes will definitely give us a share!” Trish said with confidence.

nHearing the whispers of the people outside, Rennes smiled and shouted, “Trish!”

n“Milord is calling for you!” The other two maids pushed Trish forward.

nAfter more than half a month of living together, Trish had become bolder, and her clothes had gotten more and more casual.

nWith her beautiful appearance and curvy figure, even Rennes, who was used to it, would often get a mysterious impulse.

n“What is this, milord?” Trish’s eyes sparkled when she smelled the food’s fragrance.

nThe way she looked at the golden and shiny potato chips was like she was looking at gold coins – edible gold coins. Just looking at them made Trish drool.

nRennes handed her a pair of chopsticks. Chopsticks did not exist in this world, but because his father was Chinese, he was used to using chopsticks.

nRennes custom-made a whole set of chopsticks out of precious wood, enough for more than ten people.

n“This is called potato chips. I know you’re gluttonous, so I thought I’ll let you have a taste to satisfy your craving. After you eat it, give me some feedback. The Queen will be coming over to eat it later!” Rennes said with a smile.

n“Don’t mind if I do, milord!” Trish chuckled and took the chopsticks from Rennes. Imitating the way Rennes used them, she picked up a piece of potato chip and put it in her mouth.

nAs soon as the potato chip entered her mouth, Trish felt an exquisite taste blooming on her taste buds. She was instantly filled with an indescribable satisfaction.

nAt the same time, a pure magic power seemed to be spreading to every cell in her body.

n“Wow…” Trish chewed carefully with an intoxicated look on her face. She could not help exclaiming, “Delicious! It’s simply too delicious! Lord Rennes’ cooking is amazing!”

n“Hahaha!” Hearing Trish’s heartfelt praise, Rennes’ mood became even better.

nHe rubbed Trish’s head and snatched the chopsticks from Trish’s hand to prevent her from “accidentally” finishing the plate.

nAt that moment, a voice came from outside the door, “My Lord, Her Majesty the Queen has arrived!”

nHearing the report from the guard, Trish did not dare covet the plate of potato chips anymore. She obediently brought the plate of potato chips to the table.

n“Invite the Queen inside!” shouted Rennes from the kitchen while he threw the freshly-cut potato slices into the pan.

nLifa slowly walked in in a long gown.

nThe truth was, even before she stepped through the door, she could already smell the tempting aroma.

nAfter she entered, Lifa saw Trish standing on the long table arranging the bowls and chopsticks.

n“What’s this?” She walked over to the long table and curiously inspected the plate of golden potato slices on it.

n“These are potato chips, Your Majesty. Would you like to try it?” Trish smiled.

n“I would!” She swallowed her saliva with much difficulty. To be honest, she had never encountered any food that could emit such a tempting aroma before she had even eaten it.

n“Here you go, Your Majesty!” Trish handed her a pair of chopsticks.

nLifa took the chopsticks and used this strange object with great difficulty. She picked up a piece of potato and put it in her mouth.

nThe moment the potato chip entered her mouth, it immediately released its delicious taste in her mouth, accompanied by a pure magic power. Lifa instantly had a look of satisfaction on her face.

nAs expected of a magical food. It was ten thousand times more delicious than even the finest wheat bread in the palace!

nShe never thought potatoes could be so delicious. It seemed that they were wrong to treat this delicious food as poison before!
