Chapter 40: Ning Hao's Story
Ning Hao has been a little distressed lately.
How to say it, the current business situation of the restaurant is very good, it can be said that it is making money every day, even if you don't go anywhere, you have enough resources to supply yourself for cultivation.
But a deep emptiness gradually enveloped Ning Hao's heart, and he began to miss life in the jungle.
Following that man that day, the rat also took the opportunity to enter the stargate, and after that, he was teleported to this seemingly peaceful world.
On that day, Ning Hao walked out of the beacon tower of this planet, and the first thing that caught his eye was a bare forest.
It must be winter on this planet, and you can see a layer of fine snowflakes falling on the ground. It was quiet, and it was a cold winter day, and even the roar of the animals could not be heard.
This is obviously not the same jungle before, compared to there, the trees here are short and pitiful, like stunted seedlings, Ning Hao doesn't think that any fierce beasts will live in such a barren land.
He didn't know if the so-called "demon master" had also come to this place, anyway, when he walked out of the star gate, he hadn't seen half of the people at all.
Looking back at the beacon tower here, compared to the previous one, the beacon tower here was only more than four meters high, and the outer walls were tattered, looking like a mud house that was about to collapse, and he suspected that even beggars would not live here.
Everything seemed to be back to normal, there were no more giant trees hundreds of meters high, no more beasts with copper tendons and iron bones, and no more worries about creatures lurking in the dark.
Ning Hao's mood was excited, at least at first, he almost thought that he had returned to Earth, and the current place was just a wilderness away from people.
The fly in the ointment is that in the woods of this world, there is no animal that can feed Ning Hao.
In terms of Ning Hao's current diet, these animals are too small.
The only thin lone wolf he encountered was swallowed into his stomach by Ning Hao, but he felt even hungrier.
Fortunately, Ning Hao saw the existence of humans in the memory of the lone wolf, I don't know if this is too remote place, in the memory of the thin wolf, he saw a group of humans in ancient costumes.
In any case, he decided to enter the human society immediately, and in such a barren winter, he did not want to endure the suffering of not having enough to eat, even if his body allowed.
According to the memory of the thin wolf, it didn't take long for Ning Hao to come to the edge of a town.
Maybe Ning Hao had lived with rats for so long that he had forgotten the most important thing to blend in with the crowd, which was to at least become a human.
So, when his buffalo-like body appeared at the foot of the mountain, it almost stunned everyone present.
Ning Hao had to go back to the jungle and transform into a human body before coming out. And now this face is the human face of Ning Hao's previous life.
I don't know if it's because of the cultivation of the "Impermanence Heart Sutra", Ning Hao's facial features are now much more upright than before, and with a cheap smile, he can definitely be fascinated by a large group of young women and girls.
Only Ning Hao didn't notice it at all, in his eyes, no matter how handsome he was, it was a normal thing, and it was not worth making a fuss about at all.
In this way, Ning Hao, who became a human being again, entered the human society again with a little longing and a little nervousness.
This is one of the towns under the jurisdiction of the Pyeongchang Kingdom, which has a vast map and a vast territory of half a planet, and there are not 10,000 cities like Taiping Town, but 8,000.
Ning Hao, who had read countless time-traveling novels, finally found that the rich "knowledge" in his mind had a place to use, and he decided to show his strength in this country and create a beautiful era that belonged to him.
Three days later.
Ning Hao was in rags, a little self-defeating and slumped on the street, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the road, a little overwhelmed, he could still endure it after a few days of not eating, he began to think about where he slept tonight.
"The ruined temple outside the town is good, but there are often beggars to grab places, and it's okay to sleep on the side of the road, but will anyone treat me as a beggar?"
Jingle bells!
"Thank you!"
A cyan copper coin was thrown at Ning Hao's feet, Ning Hao picked up the copper coin and continued to think about his future "human" birth.
"Why don't you go back and be a mouse!" he hesitated, for it was too difficult compared to the comfortable jungle life.
"Well, let's go into the mountain, the eldest husband has to be able to afford to put it down, but before that......" Ning Hao carefully blew the copper coin in his hand and stuffed it into the tattered clothes.
He got up from the side of the street and walked straight towards a restaurant in town.
"Tongfu Restaurant? Ning Hao shook his head and walked in.
The business in the store was very deserted, and Ning Hao entered the store and found that in the spacious lobby, there was only one woman besides him.
The woman looked to be in her twenties, dressed in a dark purple coarse cloth robe, hiding her entire figure under the thick clothes.
"Eh, is there something wrong?" The woman was slightly stunned when she saw Ning Hao, as if she didn't understand why a beggar would come in at this time.
"I'll eat!"
Ning Hao said as he made a splash of the copper coins in his clothes, with an expression of "I am very rich".
Perhaps hearing the sound of money, the woman's expression suddenly became brighter, and she hurriedly led Ning Hao to the dining table and sat down.
"I can eat whatever you have here!"
"What?" the woman almost thought she had misheard, she had never heard such a way of ordering food in all these years.
"Your service attitude is too improper, didn't you hear me, take out all the good things your store has done, are you afraid that I won't be able to pay!" Ning Hao said with a chest swing, and the copper coin in his clothes became louder.
"Okay, okay!" the woman saw that a high roller had arrived, and hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
This meal, from the three poles of the sun to the sunset, the ingredients in the back kitchen of the entire restaurant were all exhausted.
I saw the woman standing in front of Ning Hao, rubbing her hands together crampedly and asking, "Are you still satisfied with our family's food?" She had never seen such a delicious guest, but after eating so much, her stomach didn't bulge at all, it was really strange.
"Well...... So-so, you also need to improve your chef skills. Ning Hao took a bamboo stick and picked his teeth, and nodded very perfunctorily.
"Yes, yes, then guest officer, take a look, can we settle the meal money?"
"Oh, that's for sure, how many people do you have in your store?"
"Well, maybe seven or eight, look at the money......"
"Don't worry, the money will definitely be indispensable to you, but this last bucket of rice just now is a bit hard. ”
“......”
"And the smell of this wine is also a little light, shouldn't you mix it with water......
"Checkout!"
The woman finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at Ning Hao.
Ning Hao looked at the woman, and the woman also looked at him directly.
I saw Ning Hao digging on the left side and the right side in his arms, and he took out the money for a long time, but he didn't see the money come out.
Seeing that the woman's expression was getting worse and worse, Ning Hao directly took out his hand and put the money on the table.
Two copper coins.
At the beginning of the co-authorship, Ning Hao made money for so long a day, and it was the collision of these two coins.
Eat the Overlord meal!
This is what Ning Hao wanted to do before leaving, he decided to take this meal as his farewell dinner with human society.
"Call all seven or eight of your people out and beat me up, even if it's the money for the meal." ”
Ning Hao lay on the ground alone, looking like he was happily beaten.
He originally planned to go directly, but looking at the woman's eyes, he actually had a feeling of not going to go in his heart, thinking of daring to act, he decided to lie here honestly and let them beat him, and he couldn't beat it anyway.
It turned out that he had just asked how many people in the store were actually meaning this!
Ning Hao's expected beating did not come, but there was a drop of water on the floor, he thought there was a leak, but when he looked up, he found that it was the woman who actually began to cry.
The mouse panicked all of a sudden, and he couldn't see a woman crying the most since he was a child, and he didn't go now, and he didn't go.
He began to find a way to divert the woman's attention, promised to work, bought himself and paid back, and all kinds of coaxing words he had heard in his previous life were said by him.
Ning Hao was still thinking about what to say next, but found that the woman had stopped sobbing at some point, and a smile appeared on the face of the pear blossom with rain.
"Is what you just said true?"
"What words?" Ning Hao said so much thoughtlessly just now, and he couldn't remember what he said.
"You said that you want to revitalize the entire restaurant, and let the world know the name of this restaurant!"
"Ah, did I say that?"
Looking at the smile on the woman's face, a bad feeling slowly welled up in Ning Hao's heart.
