Chapter 243: Seasoning of Life



The world map in front of Ren Suo was filled with numerous cities to choose from, scattered like stars. If he just used his naked eyes to screen them, it would probably be enough to make Ren Suo cross-eyed.

In the upper left corner of the world map, it shows "Remaining days 10 days" and "Desire collection amount 0". The icon of "Desire collection amount" is a cup.

In the upper right corner of the world map, there is a "City List" option. When you click it, a list of cities sorted in alphabetical order will appear.

Among them, the city data mainly includes "area", "flow of people", "country" and the blood-red "hidden concentration".

"Hidden concentration" refers to the number of "customers" hiding in the middle of the night. The higher the hidden concentration, the more "customers" there are who will not show up during the day and hide in the darkness with hunger and thirst.

Ren Suo can choose to 'wander' in one city for ten days, or to 'wander' in a different city every day - as long as the game character can survive one night, it will be fine.

"Then just pick one at random..."

Sort the cities by "hidden concentration". Ren Suo quickly picked his target, which was ranked tenth in "hidden concentration" and displayed as a city with three skulls - Hong Kong.

Bengang City is not far from Lianjiang and is one of the important import and export ports of Xuan Country. It can even be said that Lianjiang and Bengang are originally mixed together, and the language habits of the two places are similar. When Ren Suo was a child, he often watched TV dramas and animations on Bengang TV stations, but he has never been to this city.

After choosing a city, the next step is to design your own character.

Ren Suo then let himself go again. Last time in "The Magician Under the World Tree", he used male characters. This time he had to play a female character, right?

And to be fair, if you go to eat supper late at night, you can sit in front of the beautiful stall owner, watching her work hard to prepare food for you, bending down from time to time to show her beautiful body curves, her beautiful face sweating in the hot steam, and then handing you the food with a smile...

Ren Suo smacked his lips. There was everything in the dream. In reality, when he went for a midnight snack, at most a big and strong lady in the cafeteria would push a plate of crayfish to him with a "pop".

In order to fulfill his dream, Ren Suo selected an oriental woman from the template who was more in line with his aesthetic standards and started the game directly.

The screen fell into darkness again, and when it lit up again, he saw the female store owner pushing a food cart into a forest park with only a few dim street lights. From the flashing signboard, Ren Suo saw the words "Kowloon".

On the road, Ren Suo could see some homeless people in the hostel park, and even one or two patrolling security guards, but they didn't seem to notice the female owner. She pushed the car to a deserted place in the city before stopping.

The female owner parked the food stall, and it didn't take long for her to turn on the lights, hang up the menu, and wash the kitchen utensils. She glanced at the dark and deserted park outside, bent down to take out the flat pan, and when she straightened up, the first "customer" appeared in front of the food stall.

He was a man of unknown age.

He has a kind of cold, depressed handsomeness, with crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, but overall he looks very young. He is wearing a long-sleeved sports suit that looks like he's used for jogging, his hair is a little fluffy, his eyes are cloudy, and he is sitting quietly on a high-back chair set up by the food stall.

Ren Suowan didn't hear his footsteps or the sound of him sitting down.

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

This was not Ren Suo's initiative, but an automatic voice from the female shop owner. She looked at the man in the sportswear, her tone neither sad nor happy.

The man glanced at the menu and said, "You didn't write how much it cost."

The female owner tapped the wall on the left side of the food stall, where a sentence was written in eight languages: "One life, one good meal, pay first, eat later, small business, no credit"

The man nodded and said, "A bowl of egg noodles and a bottle of mineral water."

The female shop owner started to get busy, preparing food and first gave him a bottle of mineral water. At this time, the man said, "My life... is very boring."

"My father left home because of an affair when I was a child. My mother raised me alone and sent me to study abroad. After I came back, I couldn't find a good job, so I became an actor to keep up with the trend."

"I kept acting but nothing worked out, so I made up my mind to become a clown actor. On and off the screen, I pretended to be a happy clown. The audience, colleagues, and directors all saw me that way, and the characters I played were always those with a funny face."

"But I know I'm not that kind of person. I've tried to change, but it's pointless. If you wear a mask for too long, you can't take it off."

"My parents' failed marriage seemed to have spread to me. I was lucky enough to meet a few good girls, but as soon as we got closer, as soon as they got a glimpse of my true face behind the mask, they all left without exception. I can understand that no one needs to become anyone else's trash can."

"And then, I..."

At this time, the man's voice suddenly became double-voiced, strange and harsh. Strange black smoke floated from his body, and gathered above his head to form a phantom with a hideous face, similar to his, but with tear-stained makeup and exaggerated purple lips.

The phantom stared at the female shop owner, his eyes, whose whites were larger than the pupils, emitting a stern look.

“…I’m hungry.”

"I really want to eat those people's faces. They smile so happily. Their faces must be very elastic and delicious, right? What do you think?"

The man raised his head. The whites of his pupils turned black, his eyeballs turned white, the blood vessels beside his eyes bulged and his veins became knotted. A cold air as cold as a sword actually came out of his mouth.

The mineral water he was holding had water droplets oozing out of the bottle - this was a phenomenon in which water vapor in the air condensed when it encountered a low-temperature object. Normally, when he drank Coke, he would also see water droplets on the wall of the can.

Although he didn't know how long the game lasted, Ren Suo remembered that when he walked here, most of the homeless people he saw were sleeping on benches in short-sleeved vests. It was probably still August in the summer.

This man was wearing a long-sleeved sports suit and he could still exhale cold air. The water in the bottle turned cold so quickly when he was holding it.

The female owner also prepared a bowl of egg noodles, but she did not hand it over immediately. Instead, she opened a drawer.

"What ingredients should I use...?"

I saw a list of ingredients in the drawer, which made Ren Suo dizzy: "hope", "happiness", "calmness", "father's love", "mother's love", "regret", "anger", "love", "understanding", "freedom", "humor"... there were dozens of ingredients in total.

"Is this the game part?" Ren Suo was stunned. He didn't understand what this was for, so he randomly selected the two ingredients "Happiness" and "Love". Then the game prompted "How much should I add...?"

Two pillars appeared on the screen, with "Happiness" and "Love" written on them. Ren Suo, who was confused, raised the scale of both pillars to half.

Then Ren Suo saw the female owner put a spoon into two seasoning bottles, scooped out three spoonfuls of yellow crystals and three spoonfuls of pink crystals respectively, and poured them into the egg noodles.

These seasonings dissolve immediately and disappear without a trace when they fall into the noodle soup.

The female shop owner pushed the egg noodles to the man and said, "Your egg noodles are ready."

The man silently picked up the wooden chopsticks and ate the noodles one by one. He then ate the sausage, the eggs and the vegetables. Finally, he picked up the bowl and drank up the soup.

"It smells fishy, ​​happiness makes me feel bored, and love is like a fishbone choking me. And..." The man looked at the female owner, "I'm still very hungry."

Does this mean I want another bowl? Ren Suo blinked.

"Unfortunately, I no longer have the life to pay for another bowl of noodles."

In a flash, the game screen shattered instantly, entering the turn-based battle screen!

The man was completely swallowed by the phantom. His sportswear suddenly turned into a purple suit. His tear-stained face was clearly crying, but his purple lips made him look like he was smiling.

"My life is like this, why don't you laugh? Don't you think it's funny? Don't you all love to laugh? Laugh!"

The enemy's health is /, which doesn't look like much. Then Ren Suo looked at the female shop owner's health.

50/50.
