Becoming a god by raising witches

Eileen didn't stand on ceremony with Hannah at all; her cat tongue was already sticking out.

Locke sighed helplessly.

My family is already poor, and now we have to raise a gluttonous witch. What should we do?

Locke initially wanted to refuse Hannah's suggestion, but seeing that if he didn't eat, the witch would eat his portion too, Locke had no choice but to obey his sister's arrangement and eat the mashed potatoes.

After Hannah finished eating, she felt like she wanted more.

She reached out to stroke the black cat's head, but Miss Eileen dodged her hand.

With a cat-like leap, Eileen landed on Locke's shoulder, her tail swishing as she looked haughty.

Hannah wasn't angry; instead, she praised him.

"This cat is so smart, it seems to only be close to you."

"hehe."

That's because I'm her caretaker.

Locke added inwardly, a forced, ugly smile creeping onto his lips.

He discovered a problem.

He will only gain the ability if he actively feeds Eileen. If Eileen steals the food, or if his sister gives it to him, he will not gain anything, even if he made it himself.

"Locke, don't waste your culinary skills. Next time, make some finished products to take to the interview. You'll definitely get hired by the restaurant."

Hannah encouraged her.

"it is good."

Locke nodded, thinking it was a good suggestion.

After a pleasant lunch, Hannah grabbed her coat and hat and rushed out the door.

Locke noticed that she was different from usual; it seemed that she had become much lighter in her steps after completely getting rid of her debts.

However, instead of going out to look for work as usual, Locke planned to find a way to make money from Miss Eileen.

"Miss Eileen, as you can see, I'm penniless right now and have no money to buy good ingredients to cook. Do you have any way to conjure up Mick?"

The black cat flicked its tail. "No."

"How about we create something like Lucy's story again?"

Locke came up with the idea of ​​staging an accident; in short, the rich woman Lucy's family was very wealthy.

"No."

The black cat refused without hesitation, "I'm currently in a weakened state. I've already exhausted myself trying to save you. Do you want me to sacrifice the souls of everyone around us?"

"That's it."

Although Locke was interested in speculation, he would not do so at the cost of harming other people's lives.

Locke used the remaining potatoes to make golden-brown, crispy potato pancakes with a soft, chewy interior, intending to take them to Holmick Restaurant for his job interview.

After walking for an hour and a half, I arrived at the Holmike Restaurant, waited in line for my interview, and spent another two hours. By the time it was my turn to be interviewed, it was already around 4 p.m.

The person interviewing Locke was a middle-aged man with a handsome mustache. The man frowned as he looked at the potato pancake Locke offered him.

What is it made of?

"potato."

"Do you know this is a high-end restaurant?"

"I know."

Do you have a chef's certificate?

"No."

"Take your potato pancakes and go back. This place isn't for you."

Locke was rejected again after the interview lasted less than two minutes.

Feeling dejected, Locke tossed the potato pancake to the cat on his shoulder.

[Ding! Successfully fed the witch!]

[Witch favorability +1]

[Witch Irene Mostia's current favorability rating is 1]

When your affection level reaches 100, the witch Irene Mostia will do anything for you.

Locke looked at the system notification in surprise.

Doesn't successfully feeding someone grant you superpowers?

How did it turn into a witch's favorability rating?

Locke actually wanted Eileen's ability to transform into anyone, so he could become the owner of Holmick Restaurant, hire himself at a high salary, and fire that middle-aged man with the exquisite beard.

Is it because you can only draw one superpower per day? And after that, feeding it will only increase affection?

Locke stroked his chin, pondering the question.

Eileen licked her paws and said with a serious expression,

"It's not as good as mashed potatoes, what should we eat for dinner?"

"All we have left at home is cabbage."

Locke shrugged helplessly.

"No, I hate cabbage."

"But I have no money left."

Locke confessed, "I was planning to make you a spicy chicken dinner tonight, but alas, now we can only have a cabbage set meal."

Eileen couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she heard the word "spicy chicken".

She jumped onto Locke's messy head. "You lowly servant, this is the last time I'll let you get something for nothing. Next time you'll have to pay the price."

Locke looked up at the sky expectantly, glancing left and right, even opening his arms as if ready to catch any gold coins falling from the sky.

Unfortunately, five minutes passed and nothing happened.

Just as Locke felt he had been tricked by the witch and was about to give up,

A middle-aged man with a neatly trimmed mustache suddenly rushed out of the Holmick restaurant, ran up to Locke, and handed him a wallet.

"Young man, did you lose your wallet?"

"Yes."

Locke immediately and politely claimed the wallet that didn't belong to him.

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his brow and solemnly instructed,

"Remember to keep it safe next time. Only someone of my high moral character would return a wallet I found. It's hard to say what would happen if it were someone else."

"Thank you, you are a gentleman of noble character."

Locke expressed his gratitude.

The middle-aged man turned and left, re-entering the restaurant, completely unaware that he had just given away his own wallet.

Locke opened his wallet and was pleasantly surprised to see 10 copper coins and 200 copper coins, which is equivalent to 1200 copper coins.

That's enough for their expenses for a month.

"Miss Witch, thank you for your generosity."

"Hurry up, he'll realize what's happening in fifteen minutes."

Chapter 11, The Stolen Lifespan!

Locke returned home safely, stopping by a butcher shop along the way to buy some chicken, lamb, beef, and seasonings.

After several experiments, it was found that one can indeed only gain superpowers once a day, while other feeding attempts only yield the witch's favorability.

A day later, Locke gained 4 points of favorability.

When Hannah got home, she found the dinner unusually lavish and began to suspect that her brother Locke might be involved in some illegal or criminal activities.

Locke could only make up a lie, saying that this was also compensation from Miss Lucy, who had given him 30 gold coins and now had some change left.

Because he was afraid of frightening Hannah, Locke didn't mention that he had a full 1200 mcg in change, but simply refused her offer of 100 mcg for living expenses.

After a peaceful night, Locke got up the next day and began preparing breakfast for Hannah and Eileen.

With a new glutton at home, he has to increase the food budget and also add more variety to breakfasts, otherwise the witch might run away and find a new servant if she's not satisfied.

Then Locke won't be able to gain superpowers from the witch.

Locke made knife-cut noodles for breakfast today.

First, knead one pound of flour into a dough, then cover it with a damp cloth and wait for half an hour before kneading it again.

At this time, Locke began to prepare the mutton soup. A good broth requires at least 6 hours of simmering, while a soup like this, which is simmered for only half an hour, requires a trick to make it taste better. Locke added a special seasoning called Nimon grass, which is also a specialty spice of the Tumen Kingdom. It is similar to chicken essence and can make the soup taste more delicious.
