Old Man Zeng was in his early 60s this year. Except for the family accident of losing his wife in middle age, his life has been quite stable until the world suddenly became a game.
Old Man Zeng had a pair of sons and daughters. The son’s family settled in other places. The daughter died young two years ago, leaving only a 4-year-old grandson. The son-in-law left the child to him to marry a new wife.
Now the child was only 6 years old. The old and the young were all lucky to survive. Although Old Man Zeng was over 60, he still has strength, so he was able to bring his grandson to Xuantian City like this.
Old Man Zeng doesn’t know much about games. He only knows that if he wants to live here, he must have money, and he has to do the tasks well. Looking at the young children, he feels that the situation will be better if he was a few years younger.
“Grandpa! I gathered a lot of food outside today, which is enough for us to eat for a long time.” Tang Yi, who was only 6 years old, blushed with excitement.
Old Man Zeng’s wrinkles folded his face when he smiled: “My dear grandson, take a break first. Grandpa will cook you delicious food.”
Hearing the words delicious food, Tang Yi subconsciously made a swallowing movement. He couldn’t eat along the way.
But Old Man Zeng only made a meal for one person. There was no shortage of tableware and seasonings, but he made something to replenish physical strength and did not pursue taste.
“Grandpa, let’s make delicious food and sell it to others. If it is so delicious, someone will buy it.” Tang Yi saw some people setting up a stall after collecting food. Some of them sold food.
Old Man Zeng frowned and thought for a while: “Okay, but you can’t do it if you don’t have the strength, you should eat first.”
“Yes!” Tang Yi nodded vigorously.
He already knew that his father didn’t want him anymore. For the past two years, his grandfather has taken care of him. The food made by his grandpa was delicious, and there must be someone willing to buy it.
Yesterday, they were in a hurry to find a place to live and rest. Today, they have time to cook a good meal.
After living in the city-state, the number of products sold in the mall has increased today, including seasonings and tableware, all of which were available at very cheap prices.
For example, 5 catties of salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, etc. were all only 1 copper coin. 5 catties were enough to last for a long time, and a set of kitchen utensils only cost 2 copper coins, including pots, pans, etc.
Tang Yi looked out from the window of his room. The Loan Hall was next to the commercial street. He could hear the yelling, most of which was selling food, followed by clothes.
“My dear grandson, let’s eat.” Old Man Zeng cooks faster now. People don’t pay attention to the taste in the game, as long as the seasoning was placed and cooked on an open fire.
Tang Yi ran to the living room with a sound. Because there were no tables and chairs, the grandpa and grandson could only sit on the floor and hold the bowl. Old Man Zeng saw that his grandson was eating well, and the corners of his mouth also rose.
【White rice】
Physical strength: +5 (1 tael)
【Spicy Rabbit Leg】
Physical strength: +10 (1 tael)
During this period, they met the red-eyed rabbits the most. The two collected a lot of rabbit legs, and now they just made them for a feast.
Although the cooking process was shortened now, the taste was still good.
“Grandpa, this is so delicious, let’s make more rabbit legs and sell them.” Tang Yi didn’t forget to set up a stall after eating.
“Grandpa has a lot of rabbit legs, so he will set up a stall after eating.”
One old and one young fight ordinary wild monsters just to be on the safe side, so there were quite a lot of rabbit legs.

The city lord and deputy outside the city never thought about doing Task #1 of the city-state alone.
Shortly after the mission was released, several groups of people also went out of the city to go to the distance. It seemed that they were going to clear the wild to do the second mission.
Lu Jiu couldn’t help feeling that there were quite a few people who can quickly adjust to the environment.
“Lu Jiu, someone saw a BOSS in this city, and it’s an ordinary level.”
Shen Jufeng suddenly said this, and even copied and pasted the message he saw and sent it to her via mail.
[I am from Yangshan City. On the way to find the city-state, I saw a huge black pig in a place full of fruit trees, just like a hill. Fortunately, it didn’t see me, otherwise, I would be finished. A map will appear there, so I remember that place, the coordinates are in the Baiguo Forest in Yangshan City, anyone who has the courage can challenge it. 】
Lu Jiu brought up the game interface and indeed saw a map icon, which was filled with the names of cities in Huaguo, but the area was larger, and the area of the entire country was also expanded a lot, not a familiar shape.
Overall, it was very clearly divided into four major regions, the forest in the south, the desert in the west, the coastal area in the east, and the plain in the north.
Yangshan City was located in the forest area. She saw many castle-like signs in the whole city, which were the established city-states.
The Baiguo Grove was some distance away from Xuantian City, but it was not that far away.
“Are you going?” Shen Jufeng asked.
Lu Jiu thought to himself: “Of course, but if the two of us directly kill the boss, it may have bad effects.”
“We ambush in secret, after all, there will be more than the two of us going there. There are so many city-states in Yangshan City, which shows that there are still many capable people.”
“That’s true, but with so many people, we may not be able to kill the BOSS.”
Shen Jufeng lowered his eyes, “Who said that it must be because of that black pig? We can take this opportunity to take a good look at other players. If there are players like you there, I want to see what methods and strengths each one of them has. ”
With their current strength, there was no need to keep an eye on an ordinary boss. Some city-states can settle down and gain temporary safety.
But the relationship between city-states was not a friendly coexistence, and resources alone require a lot of people.
Lu Jiu understood what he meant: “That’s right, then let’s set off tomorrow.”
Shen Jufeng nodded his head. The two went back to the city together, then went out to hang around for a while before returning, and found that the city-state was already lively.
People mostly gather on commercial street. The city-state provides tables to set up stalls, so there was a lot of seller shouting. Although their body was digitized now, their sense of taste, smell, etc. were still normal.
“Spicy roasted rabbit legs, don’t miss it when you pass by~” This was cooked food.
“The leg of lamb dropped by monsters at the enhanced level will give you a lot of attribute bonus~” This is selling raw meat directly.
“Cheap Homemade clothes!” It seems that the seller learned the tailor card to make clothes to sell.

Although Lu Jiu has no shortage of props to replenish her physical strength, she still wants to eat delicious food when she smells the aroma.
Shen Jufeng was also attracted, and the two looked at each other.
When they walked to a stall, they heard a child’s voice shouting: “Spicy rabbit legs, you can try it for free, you can buy it if it tastes good!”
This was the first stall they wanted to try.
Two people came to the stall, the stall owner was old and young. There were two plates on the table, one plate had five rabbit legs.
The kid showed no signs of stage fright, and enthusiastically introduced the food to him, “Hello brother and sister, we have two flavors of rabbit legs, one spicy rabbit legs, and cumin rabbit legs, you can try them.”
The kid was pretty polite.
This child was Tang Yi. When introducing the food, he picked up a piece of rabbit leg meat and put it on a small plate. Lu Jiu picked it up with her hand and put it in her mouth.
The one she ate was a spicy flavor. The rabbit meat was spicy and delicious. It was a good dish for dinner. The good taste made her nod her head, “Well, it tastes very good. Give me two spicy ones and one cumin flavor.”
Tang Yi was happy to give her three rabbit legs: “The rabbit legs are 3 copper coins each, and my sister wants 3, which adds up to 9 copper coins.”
Lu Jiu took out 10 copper coins and handed them over, “The extra one is for you, you take care of your grandfather in the future.” She knew the child was a sunny and positive person. As the city lord, she gave an extra copper coin to encourage the residents to work hard.
