With bloodshot eyes, Jiang Baiwei grinds away at the game for three straight days and finally reaches the top of the leaderboard in the mini-game Marvelous Restaurant. Who could have guessed that her triumph would end in tragedy? She dies just like that.
When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself in a strange little town.
The good news is that her game, Marvelous Restaurant, has become her golden finger.
All the supplies she painstakingly amassed with bloodshot eyes over the years are stored in the warehouse, but she can look without touching. The restaurant has returned to level one. She can only unlock the warehouse by running the restaurant well and completing its tasks.
Jiang Baiwei says: No problem. It's just a realistic business sim. For my million-item stockpile, I can do this!
And so a restaurant called Marvelous Restaurant appears in town.
At first, all it sells is zongzi loaded with sugar, along with stinky luosifen and stinky tofu that smell awful but taste delicious.
But things soon change. The stone pot can bubble away and cook porridge without any firewood, and it even makes different flavors depending on its mood.
Sweet porridge today, spicy porridge tomorrow.
The guests' chairs adjust their height automatically, while the sugar jar bounces around and pours itself into the porridge, determined to sweeten every customer's heart.
The customers say: I've never seen anything like this!
Jiang Baiwei agrees: Neither have I. I never thought I'd have to provide emotional counseling for kitchenware.
As the restaurant levels up, Jiang Baiwei discovers that the townsfolk are changing in remarkable ways, too.
The weapons forged by Blacksmith Hua actually come with bonus stats. She looks at the attributes: Sharpness +3, Durability +10.
Then she glances at the players' IDs floating overhead and falls silent.
So she didn't transmigrate to ancient times after all. This is a game world.
