Chapter 2268: Three-In-One?

‘A Chinese Ghost Story’ was, without a doubt, an excellent movie. Mag had watched it repeatedly many times.

Of course, the ancient China mythological background wasn’t friendly to the Norland Continent. This couldn’t be changed to Mag’s preferences.

If Mag chose to copy it wholesale, it would be a disastrous flop.

After all, the people in this world couldn’t understand Chinese mythology at all!

Hence, Mag decided to do an adaptation. The story background would be the era of the devil’s invasion. Xiaoqian, the vixen lady, would become An Xiaoqian the succubus. The Mountain Devil would become the antagonist controlled by the devil, and Ning Caichen, the scholar, would become Mag Caichen the human chef.

A journey to save the world, a love that transcended the races. Fate had brought them together. Stay tuned for the 12th February…

It would be in time to gain some popularity from the devil’s invasion and it had the core love and revenge of ‘A Chinese Ghost Story’. Moreover, it could teach the audience how to cook perfectly as well.

Mag thought that this idea was perfect.

Mag was excited, so he took out a notebook and wrote down his thoughts quickly. He already had the rough plot written out by the morning.

Even though Mag had watched many films before, he wasn’t a professional script writer after all. His dialogue lines were awkward. He felt awkward even after copying a lot of lines from ‘A Chinese Ghost Story’.

“Seems like I have to take time to chat with Vicki. She’s a professional in this area.” Mag put away his notebook and turned off the projector before going into the kitchen to prepare for the lunch service.

For the next two days, Mag continued to refine the script, the background story, the dialogue and scenes.

As a science geek and one of the participants of the battle at the ice sheets, Mag believed that he had a firm grasp on the background story, the point of view and the storyline.

However, he was rather hapless at the dialogue and details.

He had a headache over how to elevate the relationship between the succubus and the chef and how to let the audience sympathize and identify with the entire succubus race.

“Goodbye.” Mag stood at the door and watched the girls leave after work. After locking the door, he sent Xi a message, “The charcoal is already burning bright red and the meat is sizzling over the grill. The stray cats next door are already climbing onto the walls. When are you guys coming?”

“Immediately!”

The communicator vibrated and Mag received Xi’s message immediately.

“Indeed, everyone has a weakness.” Mag’s lips curved up as he put away the communicator.

There was a little stove on the table and the charcoal was already burning red. However, the kebabs were still marinating on the plates at the side. There was a transparent glass bottle that was warming on the stove. The red liquid wasn’t boiling yet but the fruits and spices were floating in the liquor and its aroma had already begun to spread.

It was early spring and the snow hadn’t fully melted yet. Having a bottle of warm red wine at this time was indeed rather relaxing.

Irina sent the two children to bed first. Mag intended to meet the two ladies from Underground City alone tonight.

“Burr. It’s so cold! Isn’t spring coming soon? Why is the weather still so cold?” Vicki stomped her feet in front of the opera house and blew into her hands, warming her cold hands up.

The opera troupe had no performances during these past few days. The boarding around the theater, which had almost completed its renovation, hadn’t been removed yet. Most of the surrounding shops had been rented out gradually, so the environment looked dim, as they were undergoing renovation.

She had changed into the costume that Mr. Hades sent her yesterday. She was a little overdressed, but she was going to meet her idol, Alex, so she still chose this dress.

Even though it was a man she couldn’t get, she still wanted to leave a good impression with him.

Xi sent her the information two days ago, saying that she was going to meet Alex.

Her message was rather official, so Vicky thought that it would be a rather important and formal occasion.

After all, Alex was the mightiest powerhouse on the Norland Continent, a being above the 10th-tier. Even in Underground City, he would be a man close to the pinnacle of power too.

However, she couldn’t quite understand why he chose to meet so late at night…

“Perhaps, Alex is simply too busy? He’s so powerful after all, so he’ll need to handle many affairs on the Norland Continent, just like my grandfather,”?Vicki thought, as she was reminded of that strapping figure standing on the purple-striped griffin’s back.

That sword’s strike had impressed her.

“I’m so nervous. How should I introduce myself later? The maestro of the Black Cat Opera? No, no. I can’t expose my identity. It will get me summoned back to Underground City by my grandfather. The granddaughter of the Underground City’s marshal? No, no… It sounds like I’m showing off my family background. I’ll get kidnapped easily…”

The bangle on Vicki’s wrist blinked, just as she was deliberating.

She turned and saw that invisible battleship hovering above the opera house. After looking around to make sure that no one was looking over, she leaped onto the opera house’s roof and stepped into the open battleship.

The battleship retrieved its ladder afterwards and it instantaneously disappeared above the opera house.

Vicki stepped into the cockpit and asked Xi, who was still wearing her red-and-black combat suit and sitting in the pilot’s seat, “Big Sister Xi, has something important happened? Why does Alex want to meet us suddenly?”

“He suggested the meeting. I’m not sure about his motive yet.” Xi turned around and saw the opulent dress on Vicki. Her eyes lit up slightly, but she soon regained her composure.

“Did he ask you to invite me specially?” Vicki was a little surprised.

“Yes.” Xi nodded. This was specially requested by Mag.

“He wouldn’t be…” Vicki bit her lower lips with a shy expression. She didn’t expect him to still remember her.

Xi glanced at her weirdly. Xi had no idea what she was feeling shy about, but with her personality, she didn’t ask and simply faintly said, “You know about the rules of Underground City. No matter what he says, you have to keep the secret.”

Vicki was a little spooked by Xi’s gaze, so she nodded seriously.

She knew very well that this young commander that her grandfather admired was famous for obeying the rules. This was also why she was chosen to become an Observer.

Along the way, Vicki and Xi chatted about the interesting things that happened in Rodu recently.

Xi listened mostly. She seldom spoke, only asking a question or two every now and then.

They reached Chaos City in a mere 10 or so minutes.

Vicki walked to the window. She looked at the huge black city underneath and smilingly said, “I came to Chaos City last year and even stayed for two weeks. I heard there’s a ‘Mamy Restaurant’ here that is very famous. The boss named Mag makes scrumptious dishes and even my neighbor, Mr. Hades learned to cook from him. Mr. Hades’ cooking is great. I didn’t expect Alex to live here as well.”

Xi looked at her and pondered seriously. The three people that she talked about seemed to be the same person.

Three-in-one?
