Chapter 1
Drop, drop, drop.
In the single-person ward, the automatic robotic arm of the treatment cabin injects the patient at a scheduled time according to the program, and the medicine slowly enters the human body through the syringe.
A green indicator light indicating that the injection is complete appeared on the screen nearby.
The ward fell silent again. Suddenly, the pale fingers resting on the edge of the bed moved. The eyelashes of the young man lying on the bed trembled slightly, and his brows furrowed unconsciously, as if he had fallen into some kind of dream that was difficult to escape.
Finally, a ray of light tilted, and the nightmare and the black fog were dispelled.
Amidst the pungent smell of disinfectant, Huan Xu suddenly opened his eyes.
Before he could fully sober up, the hangover headache immediately attacked him. Even though the young man had great concentration, he couldn't help but groan.
He closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, there was still bloodshot in them.
In addition to the smell of disinfectant, there was also a disgusting smell of alcohol lingering in the mouth and nose.
Huan Xu half-raised himself and rang the bedside call bell. While waiting for the doctors and nurses to arrive, Huan Xu continued to sort out his memories of the original owner and this world.
Yes, Huan Xu traveled through time.
I traveled through time and became a dude with the same name and surname, and even looked 70% similar to him. Last night, the dude was out drinking and got drunk with someone. He got drunk and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment overnight due to alcohol poisoning.
While waiting for the ambulance, no one noticed that Danku's heartbeat stopped for a moment. At that time, Huan Xu had just won the Best Director Award in the most authoritative international competition, but encountered a plane crash on the way back.
Huan Xu lowered his eyes. He never thought that he would wake up again, and in the interstellar space thousands of years later.
And this is an era of advanced technology and entertainment to death.
There was a knock on the ward door, temporarily interrupting Huan Xu's thoughts.
"Come in."
A doctor in a white coat pushed the door open and walked in, holding an instrument that Huan Xu had never seen before.
After a series of scans, it was determined that Huan Xu was fine. The doctor sternly educated Huan Xu on the dangers of drinking and the risk of alcohol poisoning.
Huan Xu admitted his mistake and apologized directly to the doctor, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't do it again."
doctor:"……"
As if he rarely encountered such a cooperative drunkard, the doctor was silent for a moment before nodding: "Okay."
Although he received the patient's assurance, before leaving, the doctor still warned the family: "Don't let the patient drink alcohol for a short time."
Huan Xu also turned and looked at the family members.
The young man with a somewhat cold face nodded silently. The young man was the one who came in with the doctor earlier.
After the doctor left, the ward fell silent again. The young man and Huan Xu looked at each other. After a moment, the young man was the first to speak and break the silence.
Pursing his lips, Gu Chen said stiffly: "You're okay, then I'll go next door."
Gu Chen, the original owner's half-brother.
From Gu Chen's tone, it can be heard that the two brothers have a distant relationship and are not close enough. Moreover, although Gu Chen has tried his best, Huan Xu can still hear a hint of anger in his tone.
Combining the key word "next door" in Gu Chen's words, Huan Xu thought of something: "Next door, is it Uncle Gu? What happened to Uncle Gu?"
As if he hadn't expected Huan Xu to ask back, Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then he looked up at Huan Xu and spoke calmly without any fluctuations in his tone:
"Dad had just returned home from work in the middle of the night when he received a call from the hospital. He rushed there and stayed until the early morning to make sure you were out of danger. Before I could persuade him to go back and rest, he fainted."
Huan Xu sighed slightly in his heart and roughly understood the situation. The original owner was a playboy, and his family conditions were naturally good. His mother was the boss of an entertainment company and was also a well-known director.
However, just half a year ago, his mother had an accident while out on a field trip. Without her support, the company ran into problems. The original owner was depressed and went out to get drunk because his living expenses had been decreasing in the past few months.
The family company is temporarily taken over by my stepfather, who is currently looking for opportunities. However, he is not from the relevant industry and has limited connections, so you can imagine the pressure he is under.
Huan Xu looked at the original owner's memory from an outsider's perspective and discovered that the original owner's stepfather was a good man and had no bad intentions towards the original owner. Even though the original owner had a bad attitude, the stepfather had always tried to improve his relationship with the original owner and make the family more harmonious.
Although it was a re-formed family, the stepfather and the original owner's mother had a deep relationship. After the original owner's mother encountered an accident, the stepfather swore to the original owner's mother in front of the grave that he would take good care of the two children, especially the more rebellious original owner, who was also regarded as his responsibility by the stepfather.
My stepfather was already holding on because of the pressure from the company, but he collapsed last night after being frightened by the original owner.
The original owner was not close to Gu Chen before. After his mother passed away, the original owner was still out of control. This time, he caused his father to be hospitalized as well. The fact that the child could resist and not punch him was considered well-mannered.
Well, the child turned around and walked out without saying a word.
Outside the ward, Gu Chen stood at the next door, clenched his fists, and the anger on his face became more obvious. It was not directed at Huan Xu. After all, he knew what Huan Xu was like after so many years. When he was very young, he still had expectations of his brother. After being pushed away many times, he got used to it.
The two of them can be said to have kept to themselves, not to mention that one is not as good as the best but better than the worst. Although he is a playboy, at least his brother has never made any mistakes of principle.
Gu Chen’s current anger comes from his father’s ward, where a somewhat sharp sound irritates his eardrums.
"Uncle Gu, don't be so hasty to refuse. Think about it carefully. You've been running around with me all these days, and you should know the situation clearly. Without the teacher as a pillar of support, it's simply not enough to support a company."
"Instead of continuing to struggle and causing panic among the entire company, waiting for bankruptcy and dissolution, it's better to seize this opportunity and transfer the company while someone is willing to take it over. You can liquidate the teacher's inheritance and at least provide you and your family with food and clothing for the rest of your lives."
Gu Chen gritted his teeth, pushed the door open, and stared at the man who was sitting on the sofa next to him with his legs crossed and a fearless look on his face with his angry eyes like two rays.
Seeing Gu Chen push the door open, the man habitually raised his hand to push his glasses, raised the corners of his lips, and took the initiative to greet Gu Chen. He said in a slightly concerned tone: "Xiao Chen is back so soon, it seems that Xiao Xu is fine."
Seeing the man's appearance, Gu Chen felt nauseous. He had often been cared for by men before, and at that time he regarded him as his senior brother. Now, all that was left was deep disgust.
"Huang Hao, if it weren't for Mom's financial support, you wouldn't have been able to complete your studies. After you joined the company, Mom treated you like her own child, teaching you all kinds of experience. Now you actually want to sell Mom's hard work to a photocopying company."
"Photocopying it is a cancer that pimps. You are not worthy of calling me Teacher Mom! You are even less worthy of being my student!"
The man's face changed slightly when he heard this, first it turned red and then white, but soon, the slight guilt was suppressed. The teacher had left, and his life had just begun. It was impossible for him to sink with Xinghuo.
"Xiaochen, I've always remembered the help you gave me. That's why after graduation, I gave up the opportunity to join a big company and came to Xinghuo to help you. Over the past few years, my dedication has been evident to everyone."
"Last year, I became a Silver Director. Not to mention the impact a Silver Director has on a small company like Xinghuo, just the revenue generated by the films I've shot for the company has already paid back all the financial support my teacher gave me."
The more Huang Hao spoke, the calmer his expression became. Regardless of whether he had convinced Gu Chen or not, he had convinced himself anyway. He smiled contentedly, leaned back on the sofa, and then looked at the three people in the room:
"I really think selling the company to Photocopy is a good choice. It's clearly a win-win-win situation for all three parties. I don't understand what you are insisting on."
Gu Chen clenched his fists at his side again. On the hospital bed, Gu Mingrui's pale face had a slight blush, as he was angry.
Professor Gu, who was never good at arguing, couldn't think of any curse words or rebuttals. He opened his mouth and finally uttered only two words: "Shameless."
Huang Hao looked at the other shareholder standing at the head of the bed. To his disappointment, the stubborn middle-aged man was so inflexible. He cursed at him with the tone of the Gu family father and son, who were united in hatred of the enemy: "Huang Hao, have you lost your conscience?"
Being pointed at and scolded, Huang Hao's eyes turned cold and he sneered, "Three of you, I came here with good intentions to show you a way forward. It's fine if you don't thank me, but scolding me is a lack of manners, isn't it?"
Gu Chen couldn't help but say: "Get lost, you are not welcome here."
Huang Hao narrowed his eyes. "Gu Chen, I don't remember your teacher ever teaching you to talk to your elders like this. Oh, right, when adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt, right, Uncle Gu? Uncle Wang?"
"Ahem." Gu Mingrui took a deep breath and whispered two words: "Get out."
Gu Chen looked at Huang Hao. Huang Hao did not move. Instead, he made a gesture of invitation to him. Gu Chen looked at Gu Mingrui again. Gu Mingrui took a breath and slowed down his voice slightly:
"Xiaochen, your brother just woke up. You should go and accompany him. If your brother needs anything, you can help him."
"dad!"
"Xiaochen, go ahead."
Uncle Wang, with a tired face, also forced a smile and nodded slightly to Gu Chen.
Under his father's gentle but unyielding gaze, Gu Chen walked out of the room unwillingly. He knew that his father and Uncle Wang were afraid that he would lose control and attack Huang Hao.
However, even though he went out, Gu Chen did not leave. Instead, he stood at the door, listening to the movements in the room through the crack in the door that was deliberately left, and thinking about how to beat someone with a sack.
When Huan Xu came out of the ward, he saw the wolf cub with a faint light in his eyes and sharpening his claws.
Hearing the sound, the wolf cub looked straight over. Under the wolf cub's vigilant gaze, Huan Xu walked to his side and also looked inside the door through the crack.
"You..." Gu Chen lowered his voice.
"Shh." Huan Xu raised his index finger to his still pale lips, making a gesture to silence them.
The author has something to say:
ps: Don’t get it wrong, my dears, the protagonist’s surname is Huan, not Heng, it’s Huan (huan) Xu (xu).
Here is the pre-collection of the new article to be published:
The First Food City in the World:
1. After Su Wang's death, he was bound to the Wanjie Restaurant that connected the heavens and became a happy store manager with free time and money - this is a lie.
A real restaurant: old and small, with financial deficit, and on the verge of bankruptcy due to lack of energy. Employees quit and only a silent and not very smart chef is left.
The closure of the restaurant means that the store manager will die again.
Su Wang, carrying the lives of himself and the chef on his shoulders, rolled up his sleeves and got to work!
2. The store manager is responsible for the ingredients, attracting customers, and even the delivery man sometimes has to rely on the store manager for a cameo appearance.
As the restaurant built more and more channels to all worlds, different scenery such as immortality, interstellar, apocalypse, ancient times... flashed outside the restaurant window, and countless customers were pleasantly surprised to find that their cultivation had improved, their mental strength had become stronger, and their physical strength had improved.
The store manager patted the dust off his clothes and said: Would you like to know about high-end ingredients from another world?
3. As for more "special" needs, the store manager said that there are special packages specially designed by him -
If you want to rediscover your wildness, "Natural Sashimi" is original and bold, and melts in your mouth.
If you want to be brave, "Brave Heart" challenges your taste buds and is hot and spicy.
If you want to savor time, the four seasons of "spring, summer, autumn and winter" pass by, leaving a long aftertaste.
4. Originally, Su Wang just wanted to save his life, but he accidentally used too much force, and the small restaurant turned into the number one food city in the world, with people of all races coming and going, and branches all over the world.
The employees and diners blocked the store manager at the entrance of the food city, vying to marry the city lord.
Before the store manager could refuse, the chef suddenly stood in front of him.
Su Wang: "No, why is the chef here to join in the fun? Are you not going to cook?"
There are more important things than cooking.
The chef took off his apron and held a kitchen knife with a cold gleam in his hand: "Begin cooking after beating it."

Welcome to the Myriad Races Card Game:
1. Ye Xing traveled through the stars and saw all kinds of races.
Five thousand years ago, the White Tower of Absolute Defense descended on all advanced planets, and chess players of all races were forced to go online.
Three hundred years ago, Blue Star was successfully upgraded and joined the Wanzu chess and card game.
2. In the world of Yuanyu, the flag bearers compete against each other, and victory or defeat depends on people, and wealth and honor depend on fate - for every successful victory in a chess game, the flag bearer will receive generous rewards.
At the end of each season, on the chessboard of all races, the higher the ranking of the race, the more abundant resources it will obtain, and the race with the lowest total score will be punished.
Amidst the cheers of countless spectators, the flag bearer only seeks victory!
3. On the final battlefield, the human race team, wearing black and red robes, slowly entered the field. Against the backdrop of a group of mechanical bodies, conscious ascending bodies, and immortal species, humans looked harmless and weak.
However, when the blue light enveloped the venue and the pale-faced young man in the center of the venue showed his deck of cards, all races were in an uproar.
Facing the unstoppable torrent of steel, a ray of golden light shot up into the sky. The Buddha, holding a flower and closing his eyes, pressed down with one palm, and his five fingers formed a boundless mountain.
Character card: I am Buddha Tathagata.
When the rock giant's mountain-like fist smashed down, the scholar on Kun's back did not dodge or evade. The rivers poured into the rain, and the scholar in green raised his fingertips and the spirit butterfly stopped, unharmed.
Skill Card: Butterfly Dream Zhuang Zhou.
The intricately carved talisman rotates and connects with the stars. Violent energy brews above each star: the sky breaks, the earth cracks, the wind roars, and ice freezes...
The elves, whose elemental decks were completely suppressed, looked unwilling and said, "Referee, someone is cheating!"
Facing the referee's question, Ye Xing slowly opened his hand, the golden card floating quietly, and said in a cold voice: "Can I announce the result?"
Field Card: Ten Absolute Formations.
There is only one card, so of course it is not a violation.
Today, the human race is crowned king.
