"Host, please rate this upgrade: 5 stars for extremely satisfied; 4 stars for very satisfied; 3 stars for average; 2 stars for dissatisfied; 1 star for extremely poor." The system notification sounded.
"One star, extremely poor." Mai Ge replied without hesitation.
"Host! This is a malicious negative review! You just said it was perfect, and you were very satisfied with the upgrade. This system has video evidence!" The system's urgent and angry voice rang out.
"Yes. I'm giving a malicious negative review. Go ahead and hit me if you're unhappy!" Mai Ge said with a smile.
"Host, your behavior seriously violates personal integrity. I'm going to downgrade your Elephant Food Credit! Lower your credit rating, reduce your loan limit! I also want to…" the system said angrily.
"You want to change the negative review?" Mai Ge remained unmoved, continuing to smile.
The system's words stopped abruptly, and it hesitated before saying, "Host, this matter is still negotiable, but would you suddenly be so kind?"
"Two copper coins, and I'll change it to a positive review." Mai Ge said directly.
"Host, that's not fair of you. I only let you add one copper coin to complete the transaction, but now you want to use two copper coins to change the negative review!" the system said angrily.
"If it's just one copper coin, wouldn't I be as stupid as you? I don't do unprofitable deals. I have to make at least a copper coin profit." Mai Ge pouted, somewhat impatiently. "Are you going to pay or not? If not, I'll raise the price."
"De...al" the system gritted its teeth.
"Ding! 2 copper coins returned to the host's account, please check!"
Hearing the notification sound in his mind, Mai Ge smiled with satisfaction and changed his review.
Glancing again at the outdoor seating area, with its few parasols for shade and to use in case of light rain, Mai Ge leisurely turned and entered the restaurant, intending to go upstairs to wash up and go to bed.
"Ding! Restaurant upgrade successful. Host review complete. Extra mission rewards triggered: one recipe for grilled beef skewers! One beer brewing method! Please accept!"
Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang out.
Mai Ge stopped abruptly, saying incredulously, "System, what did you just say? Grilled beef skewers and beer?"
"Yes, given that the host has successfully upgraded the restaurant to level 2 within a month and a half, the system is hereby rewarding you with a recipe for grilled beef skewers and a beer brewing method! I hope that you will continue to work hard, improve your cooking skills, and upgrade the restaurant level as soon as possible. Even more generous rewards await you!" The system's enthusiastic voice rang out.
"Okay, I will continue to work hard." Mai Ge said, looking at the two glittering experience packs in his mind, without even thinking.
Skewers and beer—this ideal late-night snack had arrived so quickly! The system wasn't just giving him a surprise, it was downright shocking!
"The beef skewers are here, and the lamb skewers shouldn't be far behind, right? If there were a skewer gift set with a big glass of ice-cold beer, that would be perfect." Mai Ge thought to himself, a happy smile spreading across his face.
He went upstairs to the room. Mai Ge was pondering whether to learn how to grill beef skewers or brew beer that evening when Amy, lying on the small bed, let out a soft, uncomfortable groan.
"Hmm?" Mai Ge quickly turned on the light and hurried to the bedside. Amy, lying on the bed, looked pale, her brows furrowed, and her small hand clutching her lower abdomen, seemingly in some pain.
"Little Amy, what's wrong?" Mai Ge panicked immediately, quickly picking Amy up. The small body was a little cold in his arms, making him even more anxious, this had never happened before.
"Da...Daddy, my tummy... hurts..." Little Amy weakly opened her eyes and glanced at Mai Ge, then closed them again, clutching her stomach in discomfort.
"Oh no! It looks like the ice cream upset her stomach. What should I do now? There's no hospital around!" Mai Ge panicked and felt guilty. He shouldn't have given the child ice cream so late at night, he was such a bad father.
Although things have gone relatively smoothly for him as a stay at home dad recently, but this is mainly because Amy has been very well-behaved and has never caught a cold. Ultimately, he is still a novice dad who has only been taking care of the baby for a little over a month, and now that this situation has arisen, he is somewhat at a loss.
"Meow meow~" The Ugly Duckling, having woken up sometime earlier, rubbed its head against Amy's little hand, looking at her with concern.
"I don't know where Sally lives, and going to find her now isn't realistic... Oh, right, Xi Xi!" Mai Ge's eyes lit up. He grabbed a small blanket, wrapped Amy in it, and quickly carried her downstairs.
Xi Xi's natural magic also has super healing abilities, and its effects should be no less than Sally's life magic. Moreover, she is currently living in Yulian's magic potion shop next door.
"Miss Xi Xi! Miss Xi Xi! Please open the door!"
Mai Ge, carrying Amy in one arm, pounded on the door of the magic potion shop, no longer caring about disturbing the neighbors so late at night.
"Boss Mai?" The door to the magic potion shop creaked open. Xi Xi rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking at Mai Ge standing in the doorway with some confusion. The tall, sturdy Lu Lu stood behind Xi Xi, grinning at Mai Ge.
"Miss Xi Xi, Little Amy has a stomachache. Please heal her with magic, she looks very uncomfortable." Mai Ge said hurriedly, his tone urgent.
"Little Amy? Come in quickly." Xi Xi immediately woke up, glanced at Amy, who was wrapped up tightly in Mai Ge's arms, and quickly opened the door completely, walking briskly inside. Lu Lu also quickly stepped aside to let them in.
"Put Amy on the counter. What did she eat tonight?" Xi Xi pointed, and the oil lamp in the corner lit up, its dim light illuminating the magic potion shop. She looked at Mai Ge and asked.
"I shouldn't have given her half an ice cream before bed. She must have eaten something cold to have a stomachache." Mai Ge said, gently placing Amy on the counter and putting a small blanket under her. He was full of remorse.
"Children's bodies aren't as strong as adults', Boss Mai, you'd better be more careful next time." Xi Xi said with a rare serious expression, then placed her hands on Amy's forehead and lower abdomen for a moment before letting out a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Move aside a little."
Mai Ge quickly moved aside, still looking at Xi Xi with some nervousness.
Xi Xi placed her hand lightly above Amy's lower abdomen and gently lifted her up. Amy's small body was then suspended in the air. Green light shone from her hand, and a small sapling with tender green leaves appeared from her lower abdomen and then flashed onto her hand. The green light fell like fireflies, enveloping Amy.
