Having exited the micro-world, Chen Yang had no desire to sleep. He woke up and continued to plan his next move in the micro-world.
Now that the fire is lit and water is not a major problem, we have the two most basic elements for survival. The next thing to do is find food.
There should be plenty of wild fruit nearby, but he can't survive on wild fruit alone; he needs a sufficient food source.
Whether the fishing trap will work is unknown, but it can be used as a food source for now.
"Learn to make traps and learn about plants."
Traps would be very useful for him, helping him catch small animals and some birds, and recognizing plants is also essential. There are many plants that can survive in the microcosm, he just doesn't recognize them.
Just as dawn was breaking, Chen Yang felt a little hungry, and his first thought was to check if his fishing traps had yielded any results.
"I made a stupid mistake; there's still a bunch of food in the fridge."
Chen Yang smiled helplessly. His day in the micro-world was so memorable that he couldn't adjust to the life of having enough to eat and wear.
"Brother Yang, you woke up so early."
Just as Chen Yang was looking for food in the refrigerator, Jiang Yining also walked into the kitchen.
She was wearing a tracksuit and had her hair in a ponytail; it was obvious she was going for a morning run. This made Chen Yang feel a little ashamed, as he usually slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up.
"I'm... taking the dog for a walk."
He pointed at the baby in his arms and said, "The little guy stares at me with wide eyes, as if trying to expose my shameless lie."
Jiang Yining's eyes lit up when she saw Empress Ou, and she snatched her away to hug her tightly. She wasn't surprised that Chen Yang could get up so early, after all, he was an ancient person who went to bed at eight o'clock.
"Let's run a couple of laps together, it'll be a good opportunity for you to get familiar with the area," Chen Yang said with a smile.
Jiang Yining nodded silently.
"Brother Yang, you seem a little different from yesterday."
"how?"
"You're smiling more naturally now. Did something happy happen to you?"
Chen Yang was surprised by Jiang Yining's observation skills. He nodded and said, "I guess so. I had a special, beautiful dream while I was sleeping."
The two walked out of the inn while talking, and started jogging towards the sunrise, leaving the poor lucky guy to frolic on the sofa.
While running, Jiang Yining started asking questions about the future operation of the inn, mainly to understand Chen Yang's thoughts so that she could implement her work.
Over the past six months, Chen Yang has naturally had many thoughts and questions. The two chatted back and forth, and there was always something to talk about.
Because Chen Yang built a boutique inn with only five rooms, and even cleaning and tidying were handled by dedicated staff, there wasn't much to do.
All Jiang Yining and Li Su'er need to do is provide the best service and environment. Once the inn's guest volume stabilizes, they can hire a housekeeper to handle miscellaneous tasks, and that should be enough staff.
"By the way, Brother Yang, haven't you decided on a name for your inn yet?"
"It was just finalized last night."
"What's your name?"
"Micro-world."
Jiang Yining paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "This name is interesting. Does it have any special meaning?"
"You'll see in a while. I'll have the advertising company make the signboard over soon."
Chen Yang's mysterious demeanor piqued Jiang Yining's curiosity. If it were Li Su'er, she would have pressed for answers, but Jiang Yining wasn't that curious; she simply smiled.
After their run, the two ate a bowl of wontons at a nearby shop.
HZ City seemed to be waking up at this time. Pedestrians appeared on the quiet streets one after another, and all kinds of sounds entered the ears. There were also a few tables of customers at the breakfast stalls.
"I love moments like this, witnessing a city awaken."
Jiang Yining smiled as she looked around, finished the last mouthful of hot soup in her bowl, and breathed out a satisfied puff of steam.
However, this peaceful atmosphere was soon broken when Li Su'er made a video call.
"Oh, you two! You actually went out for a secret rendezvous behind my back, and you even ate wontons! I'm so hungry, I want some too!"
In the video, Li Su'er's hair was disheveled and her face was full of anger, but in the blink of an eye, she changed to a pitiful expression.
"I want xiaolongbao, HZ xiaolongbao!" she shouted, and everyone around her could hear her.
The breakfast stall owner couldn't help but glance at the stall when he heard there was business to be had.
The two of them chuckled and packed a basket of xiaolongbao to take back. When they arrived at the inn, Li Su'er had already washed up and gotten dressed. Her speed was comparable to that of a boy getting up. Chen Yang even suspected that she hadn't washed her face.
"Boss, heat it up for me!" Li Su'er said to Chen Yang without any politeness.
"I'm the boss, go heat it up yourself."
Li Su'er pouted, but still obediently took the steamed buns and went into the kitchen. The lucky guy, who smelled the aroma, followed her in happily.
Chen Yang checked the time. Wang Bing's plane should have already taken off. It would take more than three hours to fly from Yunnan to here. Chen Yang was going out to buy some daily necessities, so it was about time for him to leave.
Li Su'er and Jiang Yining naturally went out with them, as there wasn't much to do at the inn. They also happened to have a lot of daily necessities to buy.
"I want to buy my Lucky Dog some cute little clothes, dog food, a super cute dog bed, and..."
Li Su'er held the baby and kept talking to him, and the little guy even cooperated by barking twice.
The three of them bought bag after bag of groceries, all for the inn. They only stopped when the trunk was almost full. Of course, the two women were the main buyers, while Chen Yang was in charge of paying.
That's how women are; even if they're not buying for themselves, they can shop forever.
If Wang Bing's plane hadn't been about to land, the two women would never have left the mall.
Wang Bing was a middle-aged man nearing forty, with a thick beard and a strong physique, still wearing only a thin jacket in the cold wind.
His appearance doesn't suggest he's a meticulous person at all, but once you get to know him, you'll find that Wang Bing is a man who pays attention to every little detail.
The three men and Wang Bing were old acquaintances, so there wasn't much small talk. They drove Wang Bing back to the inn, and then went through another round of introductions.
Wang Bing, as expected of a seasoned innkeeper with over a decade of experience, spotted numerous problems during his rounds. Chen Yang noted down all of these issues, which had to be resolved before the inn officially opened.
"Come on, let's celebrate the formation of our 'Micro World' Inn team."
That evening, Li Su'er and Wang Bing cooked a large feast together. Wang Bing was a chef before becoming the housekeeper, and his culinary skills were superb; Chen Yang was in for a treat.
At the dinner table, the four raised their glasses in celebration. Chen Yang, the boss, didn't know how to say anything polite, so he could only let the wine do the talking.
"Chen Yang, I, Wang Bing, have no other skills but running an inn. Don't worry, my wife passed away early, and I only have one child who went abroad. I have no ties whatsoever. From now on, I will focus on managing the inn and I will definitely make it a success. If the inn fails, I, Wang Bing, will not take a single penny and will simply pack my bags and leave!"
After several rounds of drinks, everyone was a little tipsy. Wang Bing put his arm around Chen Yang's shoulder and said loudly.
“It’s us together,” Chen Yang said, raising his glass.
"Hahaha! I was confused, it's us, that's right!"
Wang Bing laughed heartily and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp. The two girls, however, were quite restrained, so they remained relatively sober.
Around 10 p.m., Wang Bing had already passed out from drinking, and Chen Yang was also feeling dizzy. He insisted on taking a shower and then fell asleep immediately. However, before going to sleep, he clicked to enter the Micro World.
