The Days of Opening a Restaurant on an Abnormal Earth

"Actually, my story is much simpler." Zhang Tong stood up and began to tell his own story. In fact, before coming here, everyone was notified of the details of possible meetings. So everyone knows that they need to talk about their experiences in other worlds.

If you don't want to talk, or feel that your privacy has been violated, then it's best not to come here in the first place. Now that you are here, it proves that you have approved the entire meeting process.

Zhang Tong is no exception. He already knows the procedures of all meetings, so he doesn't mind talking about his past. Anyway, the way he stands up and speaks now seems very sincere.

"The time I traveled was 1999. To be precise, it was the end of 1999, the last day of December. A lot of things happened on the eve of the millennium. I think everyone knows. Whether it's the end of the world or the millennium bug The problem. Although many things have happened, everyone’s spirits are still very good.” Zhang Tong talked about the time he traveled.

1999 and 2000 are a time intersection. The slogan of welcoming the new century has been shouted out a few years earlier.

Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the new century. Because at that time many people believed that the new China in the new century would have a new look. It is also true that in the ten years since the new century, China has undergone earth-shaking changes. The changes are so incredible that many people think that maybe they got up in the wrong way one day and came to another world.

"At that time, everyone was talking about the new century, the new China, the new look, the new century, and the people's pursuit of a well-off life. The day I traveled was just at the turn of the century. I went to KTV with a few good friends to prepare for this extraordinary New Year's Eve .” The timing of Zhang Tong’s time travel is very interesting.

"Originally we were counting down to the New Year's Eve. But at the last second, I was inexplicably sucked into the KTV TV. It was very aggrieved. I only heard that Sadako could crawl out of the TV. Haven't heard of anyone getting sucked into a TV."

Li Jingyun asked, "What does the world look like after you travel?"

"A very strange world, very strange." After Zhang Tong thought for a while, he began to answer: "We can call it an arena, an eternal arena."

"It's a huge, boundless, square island, and in the center of the island is a huge arena. I don't know why, but many people come here every day, step onto the arena and start fighting."

Chang Feng asked, "Is it like gladiators?"

"It's not the same as the gladiators, because there is no audience in that arena. It may not be accurate to say that. To be precise, there is an audience there, and that world calls him a god. He stands high in the nine heavens From all over the world and even from other planets (alternate universes), select strong men, and then use various methods to lure them to this square island to fight.”

"That battle is called the battle of the gods. Because as long as someone can win a hundred games in a row, they will be rewarded by the gods." Zhang Tong's story gradually became interesting.

The two directors also became interested in the story he told, and continued to ask: "So did someone win? What was the reward? What are you doing there? Are you also a fighter?"

"Let me tell this story slowly." Zhang Tong said calmly: "Let me tell you my story first. I went to this place after traveling, and I didn't get any cheats, which is commonly known as the traveler's cheat .What am I on Earth? I am still what I am on that world, nothing has changed."

"Isn't that very dangerous?" Bai Zhantang, who was sitting next to Zhang Tong, couldn't help but whispered.

"Yes, it is indeed very dangerous. If I want to participate in the battle of gods, I am afraid that I will lose my life. But I am very self-aware, and I will never go to the ring and exchange my life for the so-called gods. Reward. Although God's reward sounds very tempting." Zhang Tong smiled.

"What is that award?" Wei Dayong's curiosity was also aroused.

"It's said to be a so-called godhead. It seems that with this thing, you can become a god or something. It sounds very high, but I haven't seen what it is. Because I can't win consecutively I can't even win one game out of a hundred. Because the people who can go to Sifang Island are too powerful." Zhang Tong couldn't help but shook his head when he said this.

"It's too difficult to win a hundred games, and almost no one has succeeded. But in order to keep everyone's enthusiasm for the game, that god offered other rewards. Winning ten games in a row and getting a considerable amount of wealth is like It is hard currency like gold and diamonds in our world. If you win 15 games in a row, you can get a very good weapon, or a technical blueprint or something."

"The world I live in is very strange. It's a hodgepodge. On Sifang Island, you can see the Juggernaut wielding a two-handed sword and cutting off mountains. You can also see mech warriors driving robots like Gundam. There are also like It’s a strange thing like alien zerg. Magic, technology, metaphysics, curses, and all kinds of strange things have all been found by this god. He let these people with different skills fight there.”

"If he has any purpose, I guess he is bored. Because he lived too long, he almost lost all his feelings. Probably watching people fight is the only way he can have fun." Zhang Tong's Memories are getting deeper and deeper.

"People who get rewards here will bring their rewards back to their hometown or other planets, which makes Sifang Island more and more famous. Mages break through the void and come here, sword fairies come from clouds and fog, and mech warriors Coming in a starship. They're all praying for the ultimate reward, which is becoming a god."

Zhang Tong spread his hands: "The god who watched Sifang Island set a rule for Sifang Island. Fighting is only allowed in the central arena area on Sifang Island, and fighting is not allowed in other places. Because it will affect his viewing experience. However, the number of people that the ring area of ​​Sifang Island can accommodate in a day is still limited."

"All those who want to participate need to sign up and line up. So many people have to stay in Sifang Island for a long time. People have to eat when they are alive, and people from other worlds are no exception. Even the so-called sword immortals, they It is also impossible to fast in Sifang Island. I have talked with them, probably because they cannot breathe out the energy of Sifang Island for their own use. So they still have to rely on the most primitive food to ensure that they will not starve to death."

"I'm probably the only person on the entire island who didn't come to participate in the ring competition to win rewards. So I started to try to survive on Sifang Island. Looking for something to eat, at first I just cooked for myself. The mercenaries in the world began to eat the meals I cooked."

"I don't know why, when I came to Sifang Island, I was inexplicably stamped with the mark of Sifang Island. Or that god's mark. I became the personal belongings of God. If there is no God's approval in Sifang Island, I will not I have been hurt by others, and at the same time, others cannot take me away from Sifang Island without God's consent."

"So I started to live on Sifang Island. Slowly I built a house and started to try to grow crops and make wine and so on. Because life is always going on, if I don't want to die, I have to find a way to live .”

In Zhang Tong's narration, a picture of a young man struggling to survive in another world emerged in everyone's minds. Just like Robinson Crusoe drifting on an isolated island.

"Because the taste of my cooking is not bad, so slowly and unknowingly, the place where I live has become the only open eating place on Sifang Island, and it is also the only one who comes to participate in the group arena. Places for entertainment. Since I am the only business establishment on Sifang Island, money means nothing to me, because even if I have money, I have no place to spend it.”

"So I want to exchange items between the various contestants who come and go to Sifang Island to challenge. In the way of bartering, it can be used to offset their meals and drinks. Most of them are all kinds of food, including their hometown, strange , all kinds of things and some are seeds. If there is no exchange, then they need to help me work to pay off the debt. Because I am marked with the mark of God, these people can't hurt me, otherwise they will be punished God's punishment. It's as if I have become God's private property."

"So even if someone is very dissatisfied, they still have to do things according to the rules. Unless they don't eat my food, of course this is no problem, they can bring their own dry food. Because of the help of these strong people, my hotel opened It’s getting bigger and bigger. I cook all kinds of food and brew all kinds of wine in Sifang Island. I use these things to exchange and share, including the life stories of the people who come here, and the customs of their hometown.” Zhang Tong said that these eyes are a little nostalgic.

"I thought life would go on like this until the day I died."

At this point in the story, the two directors became more and more interested: "Then how did you come back? If according to what you said, you were marked by a so-called god on Sifang Island."

Zhang Tong shrugged: "Because someone won the game. He got the godhead and became a new god. And the moment the new god replaced the old god, the world changed."

"A black hole appeared, and it sucked many people into it. And I was sucked in. When I woke up, I had returned to this world, and returned to the home I longed for." Zhang Tong sighed.

"This is my story, it's not particularly exciting. I just run a restaurant in another world."
