Chapter 1: Waking Up



Liu Qinghuan lay on the bed, his eyes fixed open, surveying the unfamiliar environment before him.

What caught my eye was the indigo-blue coarse cloth bed curtains dotted with white floral patterns. I didn't know what kind of wood the bed frame was made of, and its shape didn't resemble a modern structure, but rather an antique.

Before Liu Qinghuan closed his eyes, he was lying on the bed in his university dormitory.

She was about to graduate from college and had just found a good internship. She thought that she would be able to live a stable life after all the hard work. But when she woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment.

Liu Qinghuan didn't think much about it, so he stood up and pulled aside the bed curtain, and the antique scene came into his eyes.

Looking at his own clothes and then at the furnishings in front of him that resembled those of a poor family in a costume TV drama, Liu Qinghuan felt as if he might have entered another time and space.

Realizing this, Liu Qinghuan's first reaction was to touch his face. Since it was a soul transmigration, of course he had to pay attention to the appearance of this new body.

The new face is much smaller than before, but it has more flesh and is softer.

Seeing a bronze mirror on the table, Liu Qinghuan stood up and sat down at the table in his slippers.

A face was reflected in the blurry mirror, with almond-shaped eyes, a small and round nose, and a soft and chubby mouth. The facial features together with the baby-chubby face made it look pleasing no matter how you looked at it.

She looks pretty good.

Liu Qinghuan thought complacently.

Anyway, my face before was not even one tenth as pretty as it is now.

Because of the change in appearance, Liu Qinghuan readily accepted her experience of time traveling.

Her family was extremely patriarchal, and she nearly didn't make it to university because her younger brother, a grade-matched child, didn't get in. She resigned herself to the injustices she endured in her first 18 years, but she absolutely couldn't afford to take her future for granted. So, she enrolled on her own, her acceptance letter in hand. For four years, she practically severed ties with her family, working part-time to earn tuition and living expenses, never asking for a penny from her family.

Since they are so good to their younger brother, let him respect them and take care of them in their old age.

Liu Qinghuan curled the corners of his mouth, and a hint of bitterness and sarcasm appeared on his innocent face.

Liu Qinghuan grabbed the clothes on the hanger and draped them over himself, preparing to open the door and take a look to see what was going on outside.

I put my hand on the bolt, but found that I couldn't pull it.

Liu Qinghuan was just wondering when he saw a flash of golden light in front of him and a prompt box appeared.

[Please complete the naming task, bind the system, and unlock the new space]

Before Liu Qinghuan could feel surprised or question, a story flashed through his mind.

This body's real name was also Liu Qinghuan. She had fled here with her parents as a child, but six months earlier, they had been attacked by bandits and both died, leaving her with only a shabby restaurant to survive. Now, Liu Qinghuan had taken over, determined to keep it afloat.

Liu Qinghuan nodded in agreement, quite satisfied with her identity. Without complicated family or social connections, no one would doubt her identity.

Although the restaurant is shabby, it is still a support.

Moreover, she seemed to have obtained something extraordinary!

Liu Qinghuan looked at the input box and keyboard in front of her, which also showed her 26 keys, and she felt a little excited.

Although everything happened inexplicably, she is now free from the shackles and feels that she is on the verge of reaching the peak of her life!

Liu Qinghuan entered the four words "Huanxi Restaurant" in the input box and clicked confirm.

[Mission accomplished! System binding successful!]

Immediately afterwards, Liu Qinghuan noticed that the prompt box in front of him became richer. There was a horizontal bar in the upper left corner, which displayed "lv.0(01000)".

In the middle is a task prompt box, which is divided into "daily tasks", "trigger tasks" and "love tasks". Among them, daily tasks are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. Now there is only one task under the D-level task.

In the upper right corner is a map and even her location.

There are two icons in the lower right corner, namely "Recipe" and "Store".

Liu Qinghuan clicked on them one by one, but found that everything was black.

I see. This means you need to complete tasks to level up, unlock recipes, and unlock items in the store.

[D-level mission: Clean the lobby. Mission reward: Some food, 100 experience points]

Seeing the ingredients, Liu Qinghuan felt a little hungry.

Liu Qinghuan clicked on the D-level task and clicked "Accept Task".

[Task received successfully, please complete the task according to the task instructions]

Liu Qinghuan found it interesting and immediately followed the instructions to open the door. What came into view was a long corridor connected to the stairs. When he reached the stairs, he could look down at the situation below.

Although it was a shabby place, it had two floors. Liu Qinghuan was even more satisfied. Holding the railing beside the stairs, he walked down the wooden stairs with a "thump, thump" sound.

Looking at the tables and chairs, almost every one of which had some damage, Liu Qinghuan sighed.

She is the only one in the restaurant now. Judging from the thin layer of dust on the tables and chairs, it seems that the restaurant has not been open for some time.

Yes, in the past, Liu Qinghuan's father worked as a cook in the back of this small restaurant, and her mother and she were responsible for serving food, collecting bills, and some odd jobs like cleaning.

Now that her parents are gone and she is left alone, how can she run this restaurant?

Liu Qinghuan sighed, feeling a little regretful about the previous experience of this body.

Glancing at the corner, it seemed as if someone had specially prepared it. A white rag was placed on a porcelain basin filled with water, with a broom and a mop standing next to it.

Liu Qinghuan curled the corners of his mouth, picked up a rag, wet it, wrung it dry, and started to work.
