Chapter 65: Mobile Kitchen

Chapter 65: Mobile Kitchen

Seeing the little witches discussing so heatedly, Moran couldn't help but say

"If I could make a card that records Lady Amisha's lecture audio, would you all need it?"

The knowledge of Blue Star would be enough to support the creation of a recording card; for her, it would be easy.

The little witches shook their heads in terror: "No, no, no! We don't need it!"

They didn't want their future classes to be like today's, where they would end up with a summary assignment consisting of twenty or so questions after class.

It was better to ask fewer questions, let the Headmistress speak more slowly, and focus on taking notes during class.

"Alright then!" Moran didn't force the issue.

Since no little witch wanted it, there was no need for her to make it.

As they approached the culinary magic classroom, the little witches stopped their discussion in unison.

Lady Amisha had arrived a step ahead of them.

Once they entered the classroom, the bell for class rang.

"The other little witches will continue making black bread!

Moran, Aes, you two first imbue all the kitchen utensils on the workstation that can be picked up.

This will make them more responsive to your control." Amisha said.

Moran didn't rush to start, but instead asked first: "Headmistress! In the future, whenever we change tools, do we have to imbue the utensils first?"

"That's right," Amisha said. "Culinary magic can only be used proficiently in a familiar kitchen."

"I understand!" Moran said.

Just like a wand, the more frequently an item is used, the more natural it becomes the longer it has been imbued.

She didn't want to have to imbue a whole new set of utensils every time she changed locations just to cook with culinary magic.

Nor did she want to carry a massive pile of pots and pans wherever she went.

She simply summoned the Book of Cards.

After a series of operations, a new card appeared in the card slot.

{Mobile Kitchen Card}

[Function: Can manifest a complete set of kitchen utensils. Includes a workstation, storage cabinets, an energy stove, an energy oven, pots, knives, tableware, etc. All items possess a durability characteristic that makes them difficult to break. Individual items or groups of items can be taken out separately and can be stored back into the card. All items stored in the card maintain the state they were in during their last use. The user can freely change the color and pattern styles of all items within the card.]

On the surface of the card was a bright, clean, open-concept kitchen.

The production cost of this card was much higher than Moran had imagined, costing her a full 100 Mana.

Aside from the energy stove, the energy oven, and the function that preserved the original state of all items upon storage, the greatest mana consumer was actually the storage function itself.

There were too many and too diverse items in the Mobile Kitchen Card; taking them all out would occupy a significant amount of space.

However, she had been storing her excess mana in the Book of Cards every day recently, along with the mana she had earned from selling cards previously.

By now, she had accumulated several thousand Mana.

This hundred Mana was nothing to her.

It was worth it to have a set of familiar kitchen utensils she could use indefinitely.

Moran took out the {Mobile Kitchen Card} and approached Lady Amisha

"Headmistress, may I take my workstation away? I want to use my own kitchen utensils."

Amisha saw the functional information on her card and raised her hand to move the workstation from her position.

This batch of little witches was truly blessed!

Moran tapped the card, and the entire kitchen appeared in the place where her original workstation had been.

The cabinets and tableware were adorned with light purple and gold scrolling vine patterns, making them easy to identify.

The sudden appearance of such a massive object startled the other little witches.

Once they realized it was conjured from a card, they were left with only one thought: "I want one!"

This kitchen was several times more luxurious than the ones they were currently using or the ones in their dormitories!

Aes immediately understood the convenience of a card-based kitchen and leaned in to ask: "Moran, are you selling it?"

"I am! It's just that the production cost is quite high, so the price will be a bit expensive. It requires 500 Mana in a single payment," Moran said.

She wasn't lacking the energy to make cards. In a few days, once the little witches' previous installment payments arrived, the energy in the Book of Cards would be enough to produce nearly 70 {Mobile Kitchen Cards}.

Her own daily mana consumption wasn't high, so she could still save three or four hundred Mana every day!

However, 500 Mana was indeed very expensive for the little witches. Even with installment plans, if it didn't interfere with their daily studies, it would take several months to pay off.

Aes did the math: at 500 Mana, paying 6 Mana a day, it would take a hundred days to pay off the principal and interest.

If she paid 2 Mana a day, it would take a thousand days.

That was too long.

She still hadn't finished paying off the mana she owed for the {Character Card}; every morning at midnight, 2 Mana would be deducted.

"If you think it's too expensive, there is also the {Portable Utensils Card} as an option. It contains all the utensils in the Mobile Kitchen Card, but it only costs 100 Mana in a single payment."

Moran provided another choice.

This was another design she had experimented with while designing the kitchen card—a stripped-down version.

In reality, this would be enough for the little witches to practice culinary magic.

"No!" Aes shook her head. "I'll still buy the {Mobile Kitchen Card}! I'll pay 6 Mana a day in installments for a hundred days."

She was dedicated to becoming a Gourmet Witch. If she had a set of durable, portable mobile kitchen utensils from the very start of her culinary magic studies, it would be immensely helpful to her progress.

Without Moran's cards, she would face the dilemma of frequently changing kitchens until she could save enough money to buy a spatial item, like her mother, to carry her own utensils.

Ordinary Shrinking Magic could not shrink magical items; magical stoves and magical ovens could not be carried using Shrinking Magic.

It was better to solve the problem from the beginning; there was no point in being stingy where it didn't matter.

"Have you decided?" Moran asked again.

"Yes!" Aes said decisively.

Moran wrote out the contract and handed it to her.

Once the contract was established, the card was produced.

Aes also asked Lady Amisha to move the original kitchen workstation away so she could manifest her own mobile kitchen.

Every item featured a candy pattern; upon closer inspection, they were exactly her meat-grain candies.

With two luxurious kitchens standing at the front of the classroom, the little witches were filled with envy.

However, they were still struggling with black bread and did not yet have the qualification to learn culinary magic, so they didn't need to prepare kitchen cards for the time being.

Moran and Aes focused intently on imbuing the items in the mobile kitchen, and not just the utensils.

The two of them shared a consensus: this kitchen card would accompany them for a long time. It wasn't just a temporary study tool; the more thoroughly they imbued it, the easier it would be to use culinary magic in the future.

Exquisite, high-quality utensils were naturally more difficult to imbue than the original wooden ones.

By the time class ended, their progress was only mediocre.

However, even Lady Amisha did not urge them to hurry.
