Chapter 13 Hearing the news from BOSS
Mr. Zeng is in his early 60s. Apart from the family changes of losing his wife in middle age, his life has been quite stable until the world suddenly became gamified.
Old man Zeng has a pair of children. His son and his family settled in another place. His daughter died two years ago, leaving behind only a 4-year-old grandson. His son-in-law left the child to the old man and remarried.
The child is only 6 years old now. Both the old man and the child are lucky to have survived. Although old man Zeng is over 60 years old, he still has strength and brought his grandson to Xuantian City.
Old man Zeng didn't understand what the game was. He only knew that if he wanted to live here, he had to have money and complete the tasks well. Looking at his young children, he felt that if he were a few years younger, his situation would probably be better than it is now.
"Grandpa! I harvested a lot of food outside today, enough for us to eat for a long time." Tang Yi, who was only 6 years old, had a red face with excitement.
Old man Zeng smiled, and the wrinkles on his face thickened. "My dear grandson, take a rest. Grandpa has made something delicious."
Hearing the word "delicious", Tang Yi subconsciously swallowed, thinking that he could eat something on the way.
But Old Man Zeng was not cooking for just one person, and he was short of tableware and seasonings, so he just made something that could replenish his energy and did not pursue taste.
"Grandpa, let's make some delicious food and sell it to others. It's so delicious that there will definitely be people who will buy it." After Tang Yi came back from collecting, he saw some people setting up stalls, some of which were selling food.
Old man Zeng frowned and thought for a while, "Okay, but you can't do anything without energy after eating."
"Yeah!" Tang Yi nodded vigorously.
He knew long ago that his father didn't want him anymore. It was his grandfather who took care of him for the past two years. The food his grandfather cooked was delicious, so there would definitely be someone willing to buy it.
I hurriedly found a place to stay yesterday and rested up, so I have to cook a good meal today.
After moving into the city-state, the items sold in the mall have increased, including seasonings and tableware, with a wide variety and very cheap prices.
For example, 5 jin of salt, sugar, MSG, etc. only costs 1 copper coin, and 5 jin is enough to last for a long time. A set of kitchen utensils, including pots, pans, etc., only costs 2 copper coins.
Tang Yi looked out of the window of the room. The hotel he was staying in was right next to the commercial street. He could hear hawking sounds, mostly from people selling food, and the second most common was clothes.
"My dear grandson, it's time to eat." Old man Zeng cooks even faster now. In the game, he doesn't care about the flavor, as long as the seasonings are ready and the food is cooked over an open fire.
Tang Yi responded and ran to the living room. Because there was no table or chairs, the grandfather and grandson could only sit on the floor holding their bowls. Old man Zeng smiled as he saw his grandson eating with relish.
【White Rice】
Stamina: +5 (one tael)
Spicy rabbit legs
Stamina: +10 (one)
During this period, they encountered the most red-eyed rabbits, and the two collected a lot of rabbit legs, which were just right for a meal.
Although the cooking process is shorter now, the taste is still good.
"Grandpa, this is so delicious. Let's make some more rabbit legs and sell them." Tang Yi didn't forget to set up the stall while eating.
"Grandpa has lots of rabbit legs. I'll go set up a stall after we finish eating."
To be on the safe side, the old man and the young boy fought ordinary wild monsters, so they got a lot of rabbit legs.

The two people outside the city, the city lord and the deputy city lord, had never thought about doing the city-state's mission.
Shortly after the mission was released, several teams left the city and walked away, apparently to go to the wild to complete mission two.
Lu Jiu couldn't help but sigh that there are quite a few people who can quickly adjust to the environment.
"Lu Jiu, someone saw a BOSS in this city. It's an ordinary level."
Shen Jufeng suddenly said this, and copied and pasted the message he saw and sent it to her via email.
I'm from Yangshan City. I was searching for the city-state alone. In a field full of fruit trees, I saw a giant black pig, as big as a hill. Luckily, it didn't see me, or I'd be dead. A map appeared right there, so I memorized the location. The coordinates are in the Yangshan Fruit Forest. Anyone brave enough, feel free to give it a try.
Lu Jiu called up the game interface and indeed saw a map icon. When he expanded it, he saw that it was full of Chinese city names, but the area was larger and the entire country had expanded a lot. It was not a familiar shape.
Overall, it is clearly divided into four major areas: forests in the south, deserts in the west, coasts in the east, and plains in the north.
Yangshan City is located in this forest area. Many castle-like signs can be seen throughout the city, which are the established city-states.
The Hundred Fruit Trees Forest is some distance away from Xuantian City, but not that far.
"Are you going?" Shen Jufeng asked.
Lu Jiu thought, is this even necessary? "Of course, but if the two of us kill the boss instantly, I'm afraid it will have a negative impact."
"We will ambush secretly. There will definitely be more than just the two of us going there. There are so many city-states in the entire Yangshan City, which means there are still many capable people."
"That's true, but even with so many capable people, we may not be able to defeat the boss."
Shen Jufeng lowered his eyes, "Who said we're going there for that black pig? We can take this opportunity to take a good look at the others and see if there are any players like you there. What methods do they have and how strong they are."
With their current strength, there is no need to keep targeting an ordinary-level BOSS, although they now have a city-state where they can settle down and gain temporary safety.
But the relationship between city-states is definitely not friendly coexistence, and a large number of people are needed just for resources.
Lu Jiu understood what he meant, "That's right, let's leave tomorrow."
Shen Jufeng nodded, and the two of them returned to the city together. They wandered around for a while and came back to find that the city had become lively.
Most people gathered on the commercial street. The city provided tables for stalls, and the sounds of hawking could be heard one after another. Although their bodies were now digitized, their senses of taste and smell were still normal.
"Don't miss the delicious roasted rabbit legs if you pass by~" This is a place that sells cooked food.
"The enhanced lamb legs dropped by wild monsters will definitely have a lot of attribute bonuses if you take them back and roast them~" This means selling raw meat directly.
"Homemade clothes for sale at a low price!" It seems that he learned sewing skills and made his own clothes.
…
Although Lu Jiu has no shortage of items to replenish his energy, he still wants to eat delicious food when he smells something fragrant.
Shen Jufeng was also attracted, and the two watched along the way.
When I walked to a stall, I heard a child's voice shouting, "Spicy rabbit legs, you can try them for free. If they are delicious, you can buy them!"
This is the first stall I came across where I could try food.
The two came to the stall. The stall owners were an old man and a young boy. There were two plates on the table, each with five rabbit legs.
The child was not at all shy and enthusiastically introduced the food, "Hello, brother and sister, we have two flavors here: spicy rabbit legs and cumin rabbit legs. You can try them."
This kid is quite polite.
This child was Tang Yi. When introducing him, he had already picked up a piece of rabbit leg meat and placed it on a small plate. Lu Jiu picked it up with his hands and put it into his mouth.
The one she was eating was spicy. The rabbit meat tasted spicy and fresh, making it a great dish to go with rice. The good taste made her nod repeatedly, "Yeah, it tastes great. Give me two pieces of spicy and one piece of cumin."
Tang Yi happily gave her three rabbit legs. "Rabbit legs are 3 copper coins each. Sister wants 3, so the total is 9 copper coins."
Lu Jiu took out 10 copper coins and handed them over, "The extra one is for you. Please take care of your grandfather in the future." You can tell that the child is sunny and positive. As the mayor of the city, giving an extra copper coin to encourage the residents is nothing.
