Seol Jihu took out 17 pots one after the other.

A light flickered in one woman’s eyes after staring at the glossy surface of the black pots. They looked just like any other pot, but she could sense the strange mana surrounding them.

“These aren’t just regular pots, are they?”

Seol Jihu activated the Nine Eyes. Fortunately, he could see the woman’s status window this time. Her name was Jegal Haesol. She was a magician of a fearsome caliber.

“No, they’re not.”

He answered, taking a bottle of water out of the ice bucket.

“I only made these pots recently. They’re made of Lipiritur.”

“Lipiritur? These look pretty reflective….”

“You’re spot on. Lipiritur ores are naturally reflective. But for these pots, I’ve modified them to reflect only the taste, smell, and heat.”

“Hmm…. But couldn’t you just cover the pot with a lid?”

“A lid will definitely help the noodles cook through completely, but it’s less efficient. Moreover, when putting the noodles into a pot, there is an average difference of 0.17 seconds from the time the first strand reaches the water till the last strand reaches the water. These ores help reduce that difference.”

A look of slight repulsion crossed Jegal Haesol’s face. Seol Jihu’s explanation was logical, but there was something creepy about his thoroughness.

“Look…. I don’t know if you’re serious or just making fun of me, but if you are serious, you should consider becoming a magician.”

Jegal Haesol chuckled, crossing her legs.

Seol Jihu said nothing and concentrated on pouring water.

“Oh? Is that actually water?”

Another woman widened her eyes in surprise at the sight of the water falling into the pot. This water was strikingly clear, almost invisible. There was a cool, refreshing smell about it that strangely enough made her feel invigorated.

“I got this water from the Mountain of Beginnings.”

Seol Jihu explained to the woman named Jung Hayeon, who was also known as Mage of the Blue Moon.

“This water was formed when the world was first born. It’s free of all impurities and contamination. I strongly recommend it to those who prefer a fresh, clean taste.”

“I-I see….”

Jung Hayeon blinked her eyes. So even the water was one of a kind.

She never thought this place would be an ordinary restaurant from the moment she heard about it from Hwajung. Yet the reality surpassed even her wildest expectations.

“What’s that?”

A different woman asked when she saw Seol Jihu pull out another bottle of water. She was one of the four women he met at SY Apartments, who equaled Seo Yuhui in terms of—

Anyway, her name was Im Hannah, not Kim Hannah.

“This is groundwater from the subterranean world.”

Seol Jihu answered calmly and poured the water. The liquid emitting a blue aura fell into the pot, swaying like a fire in the wind.

“It’s extremely hot...
