"Congratulations! You've triggered a new mission! You have 24 hours to capture a wild fire chicken, by yourself! Completing the mission will get you a golden knife and unlock the new ingredients and kitchenware; failing it will lead to strength falling by 0.5," the system repeated.

"No, before this."

"I think not."

What the f*ck?! It wants me to capture a 1st-tier magical beast?! And in 24 hours? Now I understand why it acted a little strange earlier. It set a trap for me! This f*cking system!

The customers will be furious if I close the restaurant today. They may not eat here again. I hope they won't break my window. I feel bad having to do this.

"I already told you about the mission," the system said, annoyed. "Your 24 hours starts now. I don't care if you finish it or not."
