Food conquers the world

"Young man, are you awake?"

A gentle and kind voice came into his ears, with obvious concern in his tone, Zou Kai blinked in confusion, and looked at the old man sitting by the bed.

The old man was wearing a worn-out skirt and a dark red plaid shawl, and his silver hair was meticulously combed and coiled behind his head.The old man looked very old, the skin on his face drooped loosely, his hands were as dry as sticks, and his eyes were cloudy.But despite this, the old man still looked calm and open-minded, and even the tone of the question was elegant.

Zou Kai looked at the old man silently. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the old man asked concerned: "Is there something uncomfortable? Would you like a glass of water?"

Zou Kai shook his head, nodded again, still didn't speak, just looked straight at the old man.

The old man staggered to pour a glass of water, then turned around and handed it to Zou Kai.Zou Kai immediately sat up, took the water, took two sips, then looked at the old man, and said with some difficulty: "Here..." He paused, and then slowly jumped out word by word, "Yes, where?"

The old man smiled and said, "This is the village of Woliji." Seeing that Zou Kai was still at a loss, the old man explained patiently, "This is a small village outside the Forest of the End within the territory of the Kingdom of Kenton."

After hearing the old man's words, Zou Kai was stunned. He stared straight at the benevolent old man in front of him, opened his mouth and asked dumbly, "Can I ask, how did I get here?"

"I found you outside the yard," said the old man. "You passed out in front of my gate. I was frightened at that time. I asked the boys from the village to carry you into my house, and the townspeople The pastor came to take a look, but fortunately you are all right."

"Thank you, thank you." Zou Kai said thank you, but his mind wandered somewhere.

Seeing that his eyes were empty, the old man didn't bother him, but turned around and went outside to get some food, handed it to his hand, patted his hand and comforted him: "Young man, don't think about it, just let the past go." Get over it. Although I don’t know what happened to you in the forest of the world, it’s good that you can come out safely.” The old man showed a peaceful smile, “You have been sleeping for a day, you must be hungry, eat something first, after eating Think about the future."

The old man brought a piece of potato cake. Zou Kai looked in a trance, finished the meal with no appetite, and said to the old man, "Old man, can I stay alone for a while?"

"You can call me Mrs. Hawson," said the old man.

"Mrs. Huo Sen." Zou Kai said, "I... I encountered something in the forest of the world, and I want to be quiet for a while."

Mrs. Huo Sen nodded, put away the tableware, walked out slowly, turned her head when she reached the door, and said slowly: "If you don't want to go back to face it, or you can't go back, then stay here. As long as you are willing to be mediocre and give up adventure, you can support yourself by finding a job in the village. And ah... a place like the Forest of the World is really not suitable for any adventurer, even a great magician or a paladin. No, it’s better for young people to give up.”

Zou Kai thanked him and said he understood. Mrs. Huo Sen took one last look at him, walked out of the door, and closed the door considerately.

As soon as the old man left, Zou Kai fell directly on the bed, let out a heavy breath, and stared at the ceiling with empty eyes.

His surname is Zhou Mingkai, male, 24 years old, from...Earth.

The reason why he said that was because he was not sure...whether he was still on Earth.

Kingdom of Kenton?Forest of the world?Adventurer?Magician?Paladin?Is this really not a game?

And what the old man said just now... It was a language he had never heard before. He obviously couldn't understand it, but somehow he understood it. Not only did he understand it, but he also found that he could speak it.

Zou Kai went to elementary school at the age of seven, and he hadn't understood his mother tongue yet, and started learning English again at the age of ten.His English proficiency really corresponds to a sentence: "Failing in English means that I am patriotic." Since the third grade of elementary school, he has never passed English and has always been a mess.

At this time, he really couldn't figure it out. He couldn't speak his mother tongue and English that he had learned for nearly ten years. When did he learn such a foreign language that he had never heard of?

Zou Kai lay on the bed for a long time, deeply entangled in when he knew such a language.At sunset, there was a knock on the door, and Mrs. Huo Sen came in with food and greeted in a gentle tone: "Dinner is ready."

The dinner Mrs. Huo Sen prepared was potato chips, boiled and sprinkled with some salt. Zou Kai only ate two or three mouthfuls. Mrs. Huo Sen thought he was in a bad mood and had no appetite, so she didn’t ask him to eat more. Potato chips to go.

After Mrs. Huo Sen left, Zou Kai began to lie on the bed and think about life again.

Zou Kai went to elementary school at the age of seven, junior high school at the age of 12, and graduated from junior high school at the age of 15. Because he failed to enter any high school, he was forced by his father to learn to cook. He has been living a good life with his master in the restaurant.

He reviewed his life repeatedly, and found that he was walking in a well-regulated manner, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. He was usually a little poor-mouthed, a little cheap, and there was nothing wrong with him. Why did he come to this place? ?Also mastered such a rare foreign language?

Even in the few years when he first came out to work in elementary school, he thought that once he traveled through time and became the king, he would no longer need to do homework or work, and he would have food and clothing with a wave of his hand.But at the moment when he really crossed over, he felt a little overwhelmed.

Zou Kai also reads novels. For a while, he held his mobile phone and read them at get off work and after work, and he never forgot to read while walking.In the end, his hot-tempered master couldn't stand him being so obsessed with novels and not doing business, so he threw his mobile phone into the boiling water. He was still young at that time, and immediately blushed and was about to quarrel with his master. The master glared straight at him: "If you don't want a salary, get out now!" which forced Zou Kai to quit novels.

But during that time, he read a lot of cool articles in which the protagonist travels through different worlds to upgrade and fight monsters, and now he thinks about it, how similar is his situation to the novel?

Magister, paladin, adventurer.It seems like a magical world?And looking at Mrs. Huo Sen's clothes, it is also very similar to the clothes of the western magic background that I have played, not only Mrs. Huo Sen, but also the layout of the whole room.

Thinking of this, Zou Kai couldn't help but feel excited. Could he be some kind of destined person chosen by God, possessing the foundation of dual talents to travel through different worlds, and in the future, he will have various adventures in different worlds, and finally shine brightly!Dominate the world!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, but the excitement lasted for less than a minute, and Zou Kai suddenly calmed down.He is also a person who has been struggling in society for so many years. He has long passed the time of dreaming and knows that he is only thinking well. Is it too early?

Although he was thinking this way, another voice came out of his heart, and kept saying: "What if, what if you are really the chosen one, you can see that you know foreign languages ​​that you have never heard of before." Yes, maybe you will become a god in the future. And look, what a qualified leader Mrs. Huo Sen is, you are just playing online games! Go ahead and conquer this world, you will become the god of the new world !"

Lying on the bed, Zou Kai's expression changed several times, and finally he looked around with a guilty conscience, for fear that someone would know what he was thinking just now, and found that Mrs. Huo Sen had not come in. The soul suddenly burst into deep shame.

What now?

At this moment, Zou Kai couldn't help but think of Mrs. Huo Sen's words, stay here and give up the past.Zou Kai pondered for a while. When the old man said this, he should be referring to letting himself give up taking risks. In the eyes of the old man, he might be a young man who accidentally entered the forest of the world, and the forest of the world should be an extremely dangerous existence.

Of course he didn't encounter danger in the Forest of the World, he was already lying here when he woke up, but the old man misunderstood so much, he didn't explain it at the time, and continued to talk, also in order to give himself a reasonable identity.

And for the future... just follow Mrs. Huo Sen's advice and find a job in the village!

Then see if you have any magical talent or not, what if you might be able to mix up to dominate the world?

Thinking of this, Zou Kai couldn't help laughing, when the door was knocked, Mrs. Huo Sen's voice sounded outside the door: "Young man, would you like something to eat, I don't think you have much dinner, you must be hungry, right? "

At this time, Zou Kai figured out that he had to find a job here first. At this time, he thought of the fact that he had let an old man run around before, so he got out of bed and opened the door. He said with a smile, "Please Mrs. Huo Sen I'll do it myself!" Then he took the wooden tray from Mrs. Huo Sen.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Huo Sen also smiled: "Come out and eat, since you've made up your mind, walk outside more often." She turned and walked towards a small round table.

There was a small round table with two chairs in the room outside, and the table was covered with a floral tablecloth. Zou Kai followed the old man and sat down, thanked him a few times, and then started eating.

Mrs. Huo Sen brought mashed potatoes for this meal, and the mashed potatoes were cold. Zou Kai took a bite, frowned, took a second bite, and suddenly lost his appetite.

This reminded him that all Mrs. Huo Sen gave him today was potatoes. The potato pancakes at noon were probably crushed boiled potatoes mixed with eggs and baked. The eggs were not even cooked. The taste was horrible. Potato chips at night were a bit better, but now this mashed potato...  

"Is there anything else to eat?" Zou Kai asked tentatively, he also knew that he was a bit picky now, but the taste was too unbearable, "For example... um... shredded green peppers and potatoes? "
