BXBX NOVEL Chapter 92
Decades later, Ye Zhizhou took Cen Yuebai’s hand, helped him arrange his hair and smiled. "Go, I’ll be right down to accompany you.”
“Xiao Zhou.” Cen Yuebai caught his finger and said, "We are fated to be together for many lives… Next life… too… wait for me… ”
“I will.” He laid next to his lover and pulled his hand onto his waist. “We will always be together.”
The two closed their eyes at the same time, the sun gradually sank below the horizon, and darkness fell.
【Welcome to Dreaming Continent. Please create your character. 】
The darkness was dispelled by warm light, and Ye Zhizhou opened his eyes in confusion. He discovered that he was standing on a round and gorgeous stone platform. His upper body was naked and his lower body was only covered by a pair of underpants. There was a beautiful river not far from the platform, and there were rows of beautiful wooden houses farther away. Turning around, he looked back and found a large number of trees as far as he could see. As he looked around, the darkness had gone away completely. At this time, it was a beautiful spring day with a blue sky full of white clouds. Overall, it was a delightful scene to see.
He wanted to step off the platform and go look at the wooden houses, but he was blocked by an invisible barrier around the stone platform.
“What’s going on? Tongtian?”
In front of his eyes, something similar to a character panel suddenly popped up. In the corner was a small package icon that flashed a couple of times before it automatically popped open. A unique game inventory window appeared in front of him. Inside the inventory window was a small pink-handled mirror with wings.
“…” He really didn\'t want to admit that this little eye-catching styled thing is Tongtian.
The little mirror began to shine—a rainbow shine even.
… As expected, it\'s Tongtian.
He tapped the grid and his hand became slightly heavier. The small mirror appeared in his hand.
“Tongtian?”
The small mirror\'s feathered wings moved, a light screen popped up, and information started to pour out.
It\'s still the same recipe and still the same taste. He relaxed and turned to sit cross-legged on the stone platform, wordlessly rubbing his cold butt before opening the information.
The protagonist of this world is called Jun Shujing. Her legs were slightly disabled, so she stays at home all year round. She has a rich father who runs a restaurant chain but is too busy to care about her. What’s worse is that she also has a stepmother who doesn’t like this daughter from the former marriage, an idiotic younger brother and a younger sister who is very astute and excellent.
She was depressed and awfully resentful. She really wanted to learn how to cook, become an excellent chef and then inherit her father’s restaurant but she couldn’t. From the start, her stepmother refused to let her into the kitchen at all because of her physical condition.
When she was 20 years old, Liang Feng enterprise released a new holographic game that boasted a real-life simulation of up to 80%. No matter what you were like in reality, as long as you were 18 years old or older and had a stable mind, you could experience the wonderful life you couldn’t have in reality, in-game.
Jun Shujing, who had a disability in her leg, was very moved. She quickly ordered a game pod and started her in-game journey. When the stepmother saw that she was no longer repeatedly asking to enter the kitchen, she became very satisfied and didn\'t care about her game addicted behavior.
In the game, the protagonist was no longer disabled, no longer feeling inferior and had the opportunity to learn how to cook. Other people were all upgrading their fighting skills after entering the game, but only she immediately went to the life skills teacher to learn cooking. She began to practice hard. Jun Shujin had a cookbook left to her by her dead mother; her father and stepmother had no idea about it. After hiding this secret for more than ten years, she was finally able to take out this cookbook to study it.
Learning the in-game cooking skills weren\'t much easier than learning how to cook in real life, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. After making her first dish, she became the first person to awaken the cooking skills in the entire game, receiving a generous reward from the game’s system. She was also surprised to find that, as long as the dishes were made according to the recipes in the cookbook, the finished products would have all kinds of buffing effects!
Why does it matter if she leveled up slowly? She could make money by being a life skills player!
With these recipes in hand, the whole realm will be hers.
She quickly climbed to the top of the game’s wealth rankings, ruthlessly trampling on the elites of major families in reality, who had come to experience life in the game for themselves. With this game being 80% similar to real life, there was a huge market represented in this vast world—it was too alluring. The elites were curious about the protagonist who had quickly seized the culinary market and began to investigate her one after another.
The protagonist was completely unaware of this. She was busy opening a snack bar, a small restaurant, and then a bigger restaurant. After making money, she bought a building, then land and even a labor union to invite employees. Her development in-game went smoothly the whole way. Without much effort, she captured the first male lead, the number one player on the level rankings, Ye Tang, with a meal.
Some people were interested in the protagonist, so naturally, others were dissatisfied with her as well. The most resentful one was Fu Xia, the young miss of the Fu family that specializes in gourmet food. She also learned cooking as soon as she entered the game and already had a basic knowledge of cooking and her family support, yet unexpectedly, she wasn’t as good as the protagonist in all aspects. Even if the dishes were made with the same secret recipe, the results weren’t as good as the protagonist’s dishes! The buffs from the protagonist’s dishes were all buffs that had never been seen before.
She was discontented and felt defeated. In the midst of this, Qi Xing, the young master of the spice family who she was secretly in love with, began to notice the protagonist. She became jealous and started to have bad intentions, wanting to dig a pit for the Jun Shujing. But in-game, apart from killing someone to vent their anger, which would easily expose her, there were very few low-key methods of cheating someone. Furthermore, it’s not like the in-game products would have any quality problems… So, in the end, she became the protagonist’s best friend.
Jun Shujing had no friends in reality because of her disability, so she gave 120% of her heart to the friends she made in-game and wasn\'t very guarded against them. About a month later, her recipe was leaked out. She was shocked and very sad because she found out that the person who leaked the recipe was Fu Xia, a good friend she had just made.
At this point, Qi Xing was already familiar with the protagonist. Learning about this matter, he became angry and alarmed. Enraged, he ran to teach Fu Xia a lesson before alienating her. He became the story’s second male lead. Fu Xia was very sad, shouting that she was wronged but no one believed her. Her grievance at being wrongly accused and her hatred for Jun Shujing merged and so, she found someone to kill the protagonist’s character down to a blank slate. However, she forgot that the protagonist also had the number one player on the level rankings, Ye Tang, beside her. Thus, when he found out that the protagonist had been killed, he ran to kill Fu Xia constantly until she quit the game.
The issue of the recipe leaking turned into such a big fuss that the elites of big families, who couldn’t discover her identity in real life, became even more curious about her.
Furthermore, they found out that the products made by others wouldn’t have any kind of buff effect, even if they followed the recipe!
The elites were excited and also attracted by the protagonist. They lined up to get a male lead number card, and one by one fell to their knees under the protagonist’s cooking skill.
Ye Zhizhou was speechless. You could play a game in this way? Were all of the male leads of this world mentally retarded?
It turned out that, no, the male leads weren’t mentally retarded. In fact, they were all very powerful in reality. The first male lead Ye Tang, whose real name was Tang Ye, was the great young master and future successor of the Tang Family and made his fortune off fitness equipment. The second male lead, Qi Xing, was the most talented spice maker and successor of the spice family. The third male lead, Shi Zhe, was the young master of a medical family, who was also studying medicine and cured the protagonist’s leg disability in the future. The fourth male lead, Jiang Bo, had a family that sold jewelry and was so rich that he could burn money every day. The fifth male lead, He Nian, came from a new family that made electronic devices and developed rapidly. The sixth male lead, Sun Fanchen, came from a family that ran a real estate company and could live in a different house 365 days of the year, very cool and awesome. The seventh male lead, Bao Yan\'an, came from a family that owned clothing brands… En, the clothes that the protagonist wears for the rest of her life was supplied by him.
The seven male leads fell in love with a girl they met in-game, all at the same time… Ye Zhizhou couldn’t understand this world’s male leads at all.
With the help and support of seven male leads, the female protagonist\'s development in-game went even more smoothly, allowing her to firmly occupy the number one seat on the wealth rankings.
Half a year later, the game opened a currency conversion service to convert in-game gold to real-life cash. The protagonist immediately changed from first on the wealth rankings in-game to an extremely wealthy woman in the real world. She was no longer satisfied with being successful only in-game. Remembering her disability in the real world, and the male leads’ outstanding identities, all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart. Finally, on a dark and windy night, she hardened her heart and sold off all of her in-game money. Taking the large amount of cash she converted, she began to develop in the real world. She wanted to wait until her status had improved before she found the male leads in the real world.
Afterwards, the male leads became anxious and worried, so they began to investigate her crazily. However, Liang Feng enterprise did a good job of keeping customer information confidential, making it so the male leads couldn’t obtain any information about her. At this time, in the real world, the protagonist had secretly left home with a lot of money. On one hand, she was searching for a hospital to treat her legs, on the other hand, she quietly: opened a snack bar, opened a restaurant, bought a house, bought land, bought buildings, and recruited employees.
The success in-game was quickly replicated in reality. The gourmet Fu family took the lead in noticing the protagonist’s restaurant, which developed so rapidly and violently. They secretly sent someone to try the dishes at the restaurant and the person they sent was Fu Xia! With just one bite, she recognized the skill of the protagonist. Instantly, both new and old hatred surged in her heart and she began to use many ways to suppress and beat down the protagonist.
Reality and games were different, thus, under Fu Xia’s pressure, the protagonist’s career came to a premature end. At this time, the protagonist’s stepmother happened to find out that the protagonist had secretly left home to open a restaurant. She was astonished and she ran to report it to the protagonist’s father! And so, the issue of her concealing her dead mother’s recipe book was revealed, and the story of her making a great deal of money in the game was also exposed. She was taken home, had her game pod confiscated and her life became very difficult.
Fortunately, the protagonist’s father wasn\'t so heartless. Knowing that she wanted to cure her leg, he contacted a hospital and sent her there. There, the protagonist met Shi Zhe, the third male lead, for the first time in the real world and the two quickly recognized each other.
After learning about the protagonist’s tragic experiences during this period, Shi Zhe was very angry. He spared no expense to cure the protagonist’s leg and then informed the six other male leads about finding the protagonist. They joined hands to help the protagonist break away from the shackles of her family and develop her career again. And so, the protagonist began to flourish again. Fu Xia was shocked when she found this out and wanted to suppress her again, however, the protagonist who was supported by the male leads fought back. In the end, Fu Xia’s entire family became involved and soon her family was ruined and gradually declined…
Seeing that the protagonist was developing well, her family went to find her, wanting to profit off of her, but at this point, the protagonist had already given up all hope on her family and she directly drove them away. Her half-sister tried to seduce the male leads but failed and was met with the furious protagonist, who humiliated and beat her into the ground.
Up to the point he read to, all the bad guys have been finished. The protagonist’s love and career were both fruitful and she achieved her life\'s goal.
Ye Zhizhou stopped scrolling through the information, and after a short pause, he looked around again. He asked tentatively, “So, right now, I’m in the game?”
The light screen stayed on the plot information, not responding to him. Instead, a transparent rainbow-colored line of characters appeared in the air in front of him.
【 Welcome to Dreaming Continent. Please build your character. 】
In his actual world, holographic games had become popular, but he never played them. So at this time, this was a somewhat novel experience. He opened the blank character panel and looked at it. He reluctantly suppressed his curiosity, poked Tongtian and asked, “What\'s the identity of the body I\'m using in this world?”
[Fu Ximing, Fu Xia’s older brother, and the successor of the Fu family. ]
As expected, it\'s a buying soy sauce cannon fodder character again.
The rainbow characters floating in the air changed, and a new prompted appeared.
【 If a character is not created within 30 minutes, the player will be forced offline. Please create a character. 】
He squinted at the big rainbow characters in the air for a moment, and then looked at the system data for a bit. With an interesting smile on his lips, he asked, “Can you set your appearance in this game?”
【 Players can set appearance according to their preferences. 】
Very good! He quickly stood up and followed the game prompt to create a character. Soon, a handsome young man named Ye Zhizhou appeared in front of him, and the game prompt appeared again 【 Character completed. Confirm character? 】
He quickly tapped yes, and then entered the game after selecting his race and distributing the basic skill points—the protagonist\'s skill of making people unable to forget her cooking after eating just one dish, he can’t wait to taste it. Also, without the use of his spiritual power in this game world, can his lover recognize him quickly? He doesn’t know who his lover is in this life… But, he must play this game.
