A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World (WN)-Chapter 2446: I Find You Increasingly Adorable
Chapter 2446: I Find You Increasingly Adorable
“What was I even nervous about?” Xi loosened her clenched fist at the bottom of the stage and smiled.
“However, was all this part of his plan? Even from that post he sent out in the morning?” Xi looked at Mag curiously.
Mag did not seem to struggle with adapting to life here ever since he came down to the Underground City with her. He seemed to be able to arrange things very well and had a lot of tricks up his sleeves. She even thought that he might be from the Underground City.
His extraordinary performance in his professional field had successfully won the judges over and got him a rare high score to advance to the semifinals. It could be considered taking one successful step forward for the mission.
The name list for the top four was out and coming in first place was Angelina who got 92 marks. Iman came in second place and Mag was in third place with only a 0.4 points difference.
!!
The other four contestants were eliminated.
“Sir, I have a question!” Denton stood out angrily.
Everyone looked at him a little sympathetically.
According to the original script, he should have been in the top four positions and not on the elimination list.
The emcee looked toward the director.
Johnny nodded and allowed him to speak.
“Denton, what questions do you have?” the emcee asked.
Johnny pointed at Mag and said, “Hades only joined the Top Chef Competition today. His basic PK value was 0. How can he reach three points within just a few hours? This is impossible!”
The other contestants had almost the same expressions. They all looked at the judges and emcee.
“That is indeed a little strange.” David agreed with a nod.
As a permanent judge of the competition for three seasons, he knew clearly that at the semifinals, the three points from the online score meant that Hades’s PK value had already gone past 30 million.
Although it was way lower than the average points of the other contestants, it was actually very high for a contestant who had just officially announced joining the competition five hours ago.
With the contestants’ and judges’ suspicion raised, the emcee raised his hand calmly and said, “Please switch to the real-time PK board.”
The screen on-site switched to the PK board of the eight contestants. Angelina was in the top place with 0.15 billion. The second was Iman with 0.13 billion. The last place on the board was Hades with a PK value of 35 million.
35 million and the number was still rapidly increasing.
The screen also showed the calculation method. According to the calculation, Mag’s online score was at 3.1 now. Another 0.1 more than before.
“What did this fellow do?!”
This was what all the judges and contestants thought.
“What a joke, Hades is now Brother Righteous with billions of fans online!”
“You need to understand them. After all, the contestants and judges have been off the internet for two hours and they don’t know that times have already changed.”
“If you and I don’t vote, when will Brother Righteous reach the top? Brothers, cast your votes!”
The netizens were all going wild. They were all very satisfied with the result.
“This…” Denton was about to go crazy.
“Are you mad? This is the live-stream of the Top Chef Competition! Even if you don’t want your life, I want mine!” Just then, Denton’s manager’s slightly trembling voice exploded in his ear, shaking him awake instantly. Denton swallowed whatever words he wanted to say back in.
“This is incredible. I accept it. Congratulations, Hades.” Denton controlled his emotions and squeezed out a smile at Mag.
“Thank you.” Mag saw Denton’s ugly smile and found it very funny. He smiled even more brilliantly.
The queries of the contestants had been answered and the programming division even gave each eliminated contestant some time to bid farewell at this stage.
Although this was a culinary competition, the contestants themselves were almost celebrities, considering how much viewership and popularity the show had.
The top eight contestants of all seasons were mostly signed under Mocha Group and debuted according to their specialty.
The eliminated contestants left the competition stage and the contestants who advanced took their seats successfully. The judges congratulated them on advancing and at the same time, announced that the semifinals would be held the next day. The competition rules would be announced on the day of the competition itself.
That was the end of a two and a half hour long quarterfinal of the Top Chef Competition.
“The live-stream has ended. Thanks, everyone,” Johnny said as he stood up and pulled off his in-ear microphone.
The cameras were all turned off and the judges all stood up as they moved their stiff bodies around, after sitting for more than two hours.
The contestants headed offstage and were all led away by their managers.
“Did you generate fans for me?” Mag asked Xi telepathically as they walked through the long walkway.
“No.” Xi shook her head.
“That 30 million is way too much!” Mag was still in disbelief.
“The incident from the morning is still brewing. At the same time, the Top Chef Competition also helped with the volume. Therefore, the popularity,” Xi explained.
“Has Horace been arrested?” Mag asked without a smile.
“Charlie and Bart have already been withheld by the Justice Investigation Bureau. But Horace has yet to be arrested.”
“According to how cruel Fergus is, whether Horace would still be alive right now is still unknown.” Mag shook his head. He thought for a while and said, “Give me Horace’s location. I know you can obtain it.”
“What do you want to do?” Xi stopped in her tracks and looked intently at him.
“I’ve said it before. Justice might be delayed but never absent,” Mag said with a smile.
“You should leave such things to the Justice Investigation Bureau. Your method does not comply with the rules of the Underground City.” Xi shook her head.
“Would letting him be silenced comply with the Underground City rules?” Mag asked sarcastically. “That’s true. This rule of yours was set by them in the first place.”
Xi fell silent and continued walking.
“He should be tried and redeem himself in front of those young girls who died with grievances or are still trapped in their nightmares. He should not die quietly and be staged to look like he committed suicide,” Mag said as he looked at Xi’s back profile.
Xi took a deep breath and turned to look at him. “The rules of the programming division is that no contestant can leave Mocha Building without permission. Therefore, you have to leave your bangle in the building. You only have two hours.”
“I find you increasingly adorable.” Mag caught up with Xi with a bright smile.
Approximately 10 minutes later, the flying car driven by Xi flew off from Mocha Building.
“Women’s clothes are indeed quite uncomfortable. However, the dress is still quite breathable.” Mag pulled off his headpiece and undid the buttons to the rather tight-fitting dress.
There was a red dot on the screen. It was located among the mountains 3000 km away from Tucker City. It was currently stationary.
This should be Horace’s location.
“Let’s go meet this scumbag.” Mag switched on auto-pilot and started changing.
