Chapter 243: The Seasoning of Life
The world map in front of Ren Suo, the cities that can be selected are densely packed, distributed with stars, and they are screened by the naked eye, which may be enough to make Ren Suo look cross-eyed.
In the upper left corner of the world map, it shows "Days Remaining: 10 days", "Desire Collection: 0", and the icon of "Desire Collection" is a cup.
In the upper right corner of the world map, the option of "City List" appears, and after clicking on it, a list of cities sorted alphabetically will appear.
Among them, the data of cities mainly include: "land area", "foot traffic", "country" and "hidden concentration" of blood red.
The higher the concealment concentration, the more hungry and thirsty the number of "customers" who do not appear at all during the day.
You can choose to spend 10 days in one city, or every day in a different city - as long as the character survives one night.
"Then pick any one......
Ask the cities to sort according to the "Concealment Concentration", and Ren Suo quickly picks his target: the "Concealment Concentration" ranks tenth, showing the city of 3 skulls - Hong Kong.
The city of Hong Kong is not far from Lianjiang, it is one of the important import and export ports of Xuanguo, it can even be said that Lianjiang and Hong Kong are mixed together, and the language habits of the two places are similar, Ren Suo often watched TV dramas and animations on Hong Kong TV when he was a child, but he has never been to this city.
The next step in choosing a city is to design your own character.
Ren Suo then let himself go again: the last time he used a male character in "The Wizard Under the World Tree", this time he had to play a female role, right?
And in all fairness, if you go for a late-night snack, you can sit in front of a beautiful stall owner and watch her work to prepare food for you, bending over 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 on her face......
Ren Suo smashed it, smashed his mouth, there was everything in his dream, in reality, he went to eat supper, at most, there was a canteen aunt with a big shoulder and a round waist who pushed a plate of crayfish to him with a 'snap'.
In order to realize his dream, Ren Suo chose an oriental woman from the template who was more in line with his aesthetics and started the game directly.
The picture fell into darkness again, and when it was lit up again, the female shopkeeper was seen pushing the food stall into a forest park with only a few dim street lights, and Ren Suo saw the words 'Kowloon' in the flashing signs.
On the way, Ren Suo could see some homeless people in the park, and even one or two patrolling security guards, but they didn't seem to pay attention to the female shopkeeper, who pushed the car to a deserted place in the Common Era before stopping.
The female shopkeeper parked the food stall and it didn't take long to turn on the lights, hang up the menu, and wash the kitchen utensils. She glanced at the dark park outside, lowered down to take out the pan, and when she straightened up, the first 'customer' appeared in front of the stall.
It was a man who couldn't tell his age.
His appearance has a kind of cold and depressed handsomeness, crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, but the overall look is very young, wearing a set of long-sleeved tracksuits that looks like running, his hair is a little fluffy, his eyes are cloudy, and he sits quietly on the high chair with the back of the food stall.
Ren Suo didn't hear his footsteps or the sound of him sitting down.
"Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
This is not Ren Suo's active communication, but the female shopkeeper's built-in automatic voice. She looked at the man in sportswear, and her tone was neither sad nor joyful.
The man glanced at the menu, "You didn't write much money."
The female shopkeeper patted the wall on the left side of the stall, where a sentence was written in eight Chinese: "One life, one good meal, pay first and eat later, operate on small capital, no credit"
The man nodded and said, "A bowl of egg noodles and a bottle of mineral water."
The shopkeeper began to get busy, preparing the meal, and first brought him a bottle of mineral water, at which point the man said, "My life ...... It's boring."
"When I was a child, my father left because of an affair, and my mother raised me alone and sent me to study abroad. When I came back from studying abroad, I couldn't find any good job, and I became an actor in order to catch up with fashion."
"I acted back and forth, but nothing improved, and then I turned my heart on the side and became a clown actor, on the screen, off the screen, I pretended to be an eternally happy clown, and other audiences, colleagues, directors, all saw me like this, and the role I played was always the character that made people laugh."
"But I know I'm not like that, I've tried to change, but it doesn't make sense. If you wear the mask for a long time, you can't take it off."
"My parents' failed marriages seem to have carried over to me, and I've had the good fortune to meet a few wonderful girls, but as soon as we get closer, as soon as they touch the truth behind my mask, they all leave without exception – I can understand that no one needs to be anyone's trash can."
"Then, I ......."
At this time, the man's voice suddenly became double, strange and harsh. A strange black smoke rose from his body, converging on his head into a hideous, similar face, but painted with tears and an illusion of exaggerated purple lips.
The phantom stared at the female shopkeeper tightly, and the whites of her eyes were larger than the eyeballs, and her eyes shot an awe-inspiring gaze.
「…… I'm hungry."
"I want to eat those people's faces, they are smiling so happily, this face must be very elastic, 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 next to his eyes spurted, the blood tendons were knotted, and his mouth actually spit out a cold breath like a sword.
The mineral water he was holding actually drippeds from the outside of the water bottle - this is the phenomenon of water vapor in the air condensing when it encounters a cold object, and usually anyone who drinks Coke will see that the walls of the can are full of water beads.
Although he didn't know how much time the game was, Ren Suo remembered that when he walked all the way, almost all the homeless people he saw were sleeping on benches in short-sleeved vests, probably still in summer and August.
This man was wearing a long-sleeved tracksuit, and he could still exhale cold air, and the water bottle could turn into cold water so quickly when he held it.
And the female shopkeeper also made a bowl of egg noodles at this time, but she didn't hand it over immediately, but opened a drawer:
"What ingredients do you use......?"
I saw a list of ingredients in the drawer, and I was dazzled: "hope", "happiness", "calmness", "fatherly love", "maternal love", "remorse", "anger", "love", "understanding", "freedom", "humor", ...... There are dozens of ingredients.
"This is the part of the play?" Ren Suo was stunned, he didn't understand what this was for, so he randomly chose the two ingredients of "happy" and "love", and then the game showed a prompt: "How much to add......
Two pillars appear on the screen, and the pillars are written "happy" and "love", and Ren Suo, who is confused, raises the measurement of both pillars to half.
So Ren Suo saw the female shopkeeper put a soup spoon into the two ghetto bottles, scooped out three spoons of yellow crystals and three spoons of pink crystals, and poured them into the egg noodles.
When these seasonings fall on the noodle soup, they immediately dissolve and disappear without a trace.
The female shopkeeper pushed the egg noodles to the man, "Your egg noodles are ready."
The man silently picked up the wooden chopsticks, ate the noodles one by one, then ate the ham sausage, then the eggs and vegetables, and finally picked up the bowl and drank the soup base.
"It tastes so fishy, it's so happy that it makes me bored, and love chokes me like a fishbone. And ......" the man looked at the shopkeeper, "I'm still hungry."
Does this mean another bowl? Ren Suo blinked.
"It's a pity that I don't have the life to pay for another bowl of noodles."
Say it's too late, then it's fast, the game screen is instantly shattered, and it enters the turn-based battle screen!
The man was completely devoured by the phantom, the sportswear on his body changed into a purple suit, and his tearful face was obviously crying, but the purple lips felt as if he was laughing:
"My life is like this, why don't you laugh? Don't you think it's funny? Don't you all like to laugh? Laugh!"
The enemy's HP is 800/800, which doesn't seem like much, and then Ren Suo looked at the female shopkeeper's HP:
50/50。
