I Become a God: Playing with Beasts

In the afternoon, near dusk.

Zhang Yan walked into the lagoon teahouse weakly, almost holding on to the wall.

Accustomed to his body's lack of desire, Zhang Yan had forgotten that this body was like a normal person's and would feel hungry and need to eat.

After running around all day and not eating since morning, he was now so hungry that his eyes were dizzy.

Sitting on the tea table, Zhang Yan weakly called Yujiro's name and asked him to get him some food.

"Yanjun, why are you so hungry? Didn't you eat at noon?"

Yujiro quickly brought a plate of fried pork with beans and a few meat buns and placed them in front of Zhang Yan. He looked at Zhang Yan and ate them hungrily, wondering.

Zhang Yan himself felt strange. Although he had just missed lunch, his hunger suddenly came over him like a flood.

"Ku Neng must have walked a lot today. I visited the whole village." Zhang Yan took a bite of meat and a bite of vegetables. His mouth was full and he couldn't speak clearly.

But Yujiro can understand the general meaning.

"It's amazing, Xiaoyan-kun. The lagoon is so big that you can visit it in one day. But have you ever seen the waterfall? The waterfall on the back mountain is very interesting."

Yujiro pulled out a stool and sat aside, holding his chin in his hands and looking straight at Zhang Yan.

Although he knew that the black cat in front of him was actually older than him, it would be inappropriate to call him Mr. Soma.

But it was Zhang Yan's petite body that always made him ignore him, thinking that the boy in front of him was still a child.

(In Japan, jun is mostly used between superiors and subordinates or elders and juniors)

And Zhang Yan's own innocence and carefreeness are really relaxing.

Even if you only take one or two glances, those blue eyes can leave a deep impression on people.

Seeing those eyes that encompass the entire sky always makes people feel peaceful and happy.

So Yujiro really likes to watch Zhang Yan decompress after a busy day.

At this time, Shuangsuke walked in from outside the door.

"Is it raining early today? Shuosuke." Yujiro greeted Shuosuke.

"Well, it's a little early. It's early for Yujiro and Iwa. Why don't you see Kong Wu?"

Shuangfu skillfully pulled a stool over to sit down and said to the two of them.

"Shuangsuke, do you want a bite?"

Zhang Yan handed the chopsticks to Shuang Fu and motioned for him to pick up the food.

"No, I'll eat with Hao and the others later." Shuangsuke declined politely.

Knowing that he had eaten early today, Shuangfu knew that this dish was ordered by others and not Hao and the others who started eating it without waiting for him.

"Kongwu is still cleaning the room in the back. Oh, I forgot that I was helping him get the mop. I was busy." Yujiro said and walked neatly towards the back, leaving Zhang Yan and Shuangsuke chatting.

At night,

Hao, Kongwu, Shuangsuke, and Yujiro gathered together to enjoy dinner and discuss what Kongwu had experienced at the Black Cat Pavilion at noon today. Zhang Yan listened and joined in the fun.

After Kongwu finished telling what happened at the Black Cat Pavilion, Yujiro immediately said in surprise, "Wow! Is the store manager over there such a person?"

"I always feel that it is completely opposite to our teahouse." Shuangsuke pinched his chin and frowned as he thought.

Only Hao still didn't understand.

"What do you mean?" Hao asked blankly.

"Hao usually doesn't receive guests. He always hides in the kitchen and doesn't come out. Isn't it the exact opposite of that?" Shuangsuke explained to him.

"Indeed..." Yujiro agreed slightly helplessly.

After listening to Shuangsuke's explanation, Hao also understood, but he still didn't agree with the business style of the Black Cat Pavilion opposite.

He said contemptuously, "Huh, it's no big deal to run a restaurant by yourself but give up cooking."

Hao believes that since a restaurant relies on tricks to attract customers, the dishes cooked by the kitchen must not be delicious. And a restaurant that cannot cook well cannot operate for a long time and will go bankrupt sooner or later.

However, Kong Wu said: "I have tried it, and the food prepared by the clerk there is surprisingly delicious."

"What?" Hao was startled, and his expression became serious.

It doesn't matter if the business is good, but if the food is delicious, it will be a big competitor to your own store.

After hearing Kongwu's comments, Shuangsuke also became interested and expressed that he would try the Black Cat Pavilion when he had time.

"Hey, where are you guys from?" Hao said dissatisfied.

"Everyone is heading towards that restaurant!"

"Calm down, calm down..." Yujiro hurriedly calmed Hao's emotions.

Kong Wu also explained, "I met Yan on the way back, and I saw that he was going in the direction of the Black Cat Pavilion. Yan, have you gone in to eat?"

The soy saucer interrupted midway. Zhang Yan cleared his throat and said, "I didn't go in to eat, but..."

Zhang Yan paused.

"But what?" Hao asked quickly.

"But I did pass by the entrance of the Black Cat Pavilion. There was a long queue at the entrance, with no end as far as the eye could see. Obviously, Hao, you have failed miserably."

Zhang Yan finally said with a playful and sympathetic smile on his face, which made his teeth itch.

"Hmph, damn Black Cat Ting, I don't believe he can have so many people."

"Hao, if you underestimate him, you will be bitten back." Shuangsuke reminded him at the right time.

As a person who works in a hotel in the town, he is used to the back and forth between businessmen, and he knows how despicable methods they will use to eliminate an opponent.

"It would be hard to increase tourism income, and it would be uncomfortable if it was taken away when we were careless."

Shuosuke's words successfully silenced Hao.

Shuangsuke continued his analysis: "Because the Black Cat Pavilion is newly built, it has a beautiful appearance. I believe that first-time tourists will be attracted..."

"Yes, really...?" Hao didn't understand the twists and turns, but he inherited this restaurant from his father, and he still valued this restaurant very much.

And Shuangsuke was an experienced person. After hearing his reminder, Hao rarely listened to his opinions.

"What do you think?"

Howe looked at the others.

"I...well, some."

"..." Hao was silent for a moment.

"...Should my store also change something?" Hao asked tentatively.

"You shouldn't be good at chatting with guests with a smile," Shuangfu said as a question, but his tone was affirmative.

"Ugh..." Hao opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to defend something, but in the end he just let out a slight whimper.

He also knew that he was really not good at chatting, let alone greeting guests with a smile on his face.

"...Then what should I do?" Hao asked everyone anxiously.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't be shaken and deal with it calmly, it will be fine." Shuangsuke replied.

Among the four people present, Shuangsuke can be said to be the smartest and calmest of the four.

Now that Shuangfu said this, Hao had no objection and continued to listen to others' explanations.

Shuangfu curled up his lips and said calmly: "Their target is tourists, but we also have a bond with this place that was established from Hao's father's generation."

“Although regular customers who come back are important, local neighbors are probably more important.

The people in this village have been accustomed to the smell of the lagoon teahouse for a long time.

At least I don’t think those people will easily change restaurants just because a new restaurant opens. "

Shuangfu's words made Hao suddenly calm down, and even his sitting posture became much more relaxed, but his eyes were still fixed on Shuangfu.

"And even if you don't remember your habits and complexes, you have been honing your cooking skills." Shuosuke said to Hao,

"Even tourists will eventually choose a restaurant with more delicious food, so I never thought you would lose."

Hearing this Hao blushed slightly. He didn't expect that he was such a person in the eyes of his friends. He was a little shy after being praised.

"...Ah, ah... You are right." Hao affirmed sheepishly.

However, although Shuangsuke said it very calmly, it was also correct. However, the authorities are confused and see clearly from the perspective of Kong Wu and others.

This is already a major event. Even Shuangsuke is aware of the crisis. I don’t know how Hao will survive the difficult situation...

Kong Wu was a little worried.

Similarly, among the five people present, although everyone has solved the mystery on the surface, they are still feeling uneasy in their hearts. Zhang Yan is the only one who knows that the restaurant will not close down, but the Black Cat Pavilion opposite.

Because of the disappearance of Chunzhou Giant, the number of tourists dropped sharply, and it gradually became unable to make ends meet and eventually closed down.

Late at night, everyone went home, some to their rooms, and some to their rooms, and went to bed. And Zhang Yan is also greedy for Hao's pecs and plans to sleep in the same bed with Hao.

Lying on the bed, Hao stared at the ceiling, with a touch of sadness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan directly rode on Hao's body, pressed down and asked, "Hao, are you still thinking about the Black Cat Pavilion?"

In the past, Hao would have thought this move was inappropriate and would have lifted Zhang Yan aside.

But now he didn't have the intention to care about this. Instead, he nodded expressionlessly and groaned.

"Okay, don't worry, isn't it like Shuangfu said, the other party can't steal your customers.

And don’t worry, the older generation in the village are used to your cooking and won’t leave you.

Furthermore, Black Cat Pavilion is also suffering a fate and is about to close down again...well, it's hard to say. "Zhang Yan was talking to himself.

Thinking of the collapse of Black Cat Pavilion, Zhang Yan felt that he could actually buy Black Cat Pavilion and become the big boss behind it.

But this will depend on what happens next.

No longer thinking about these things, I saw that although Hao under him was much better, he was still thinking clearly in his eyes.

So Zhang Yan laughed evilly and grabbed Hao's chest with both hands. Suddenly, Hao no longer wanted to think about the Black Cat Pavilion or the customer. He grabbed Zhang Yan's rebellious hand and trapped it in his chest.

"Hey, don't make trouble, go to bed, I have to get up early tomorrow..."

Feeling the warmth in his arms, sleepiness surged into his heart, and Hao fell asleep like this.
