It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

"Restaurant!"

"Yes, a self-service lunch box restaurant."

"Boxed lunch room? Could it be the legendary ghost restaurant?"

"What ghost hotel?" Boss Cheng and everyone else tilted their heads.

At this time, the people who had escaped before also came back one after another. Boss Cheng also saw familiar faces among these people, the three who had pointed at Paimon and asked "Why can Lala Fei fly?"

Speaking of which, the three "little" guys hadn't been seen visiting the restaurant for more than two months. After hearing what they said, Boss Cheng realized that it wasn't that they didn't want to come, but that the restaurant appeared and disappeared from time to time, like a ghost.

"So, my hotel has become a legend and a ghost hotel?"

"Of course!" said Lala Fei, a regular customer, proudly. "If it wasn't named 'ghost', how could it stand out among all the rumors? The more famous the 'ghost restaurant' is, the more tourists it will attract to the Costa del Sol."

But the consequence was that when the "ghost restaurant" appeared, it frightened all the garrison troops in the area. And the three Labradors who were "showing off" in front of Boss Cheng were the culprits who spread the name of the "ghost restaurant" in Limsa Lominsa and its surrounding areas!

"You guys!"

It was around 5:20 pm on May 8th.

I went to the bathroom to throw out some trash without turning on the light.

Unfortunately, the cat litter box is also in the bathroom.

I don’t know which wicked cat dug the fresh poop out of the litter box while digging the litter.

Then because I didn't turn on the light, I stepped on it.

Also, because the soles of my shoes were relatively hard, I didn't notice at all when my heel stepped on the cat poop.

Then, after coming out of the bathroom, I went to the living room, kitchen, and finally back to my room.

Until I smelled the faint smell of cat feces in the house, and followed the smell all the way to the bathroom...

Thai miserable!

After writing this line, I still have to continue cleaning up the shit stains in the living room and kitchen.

This isn't the first time I've hit the mark, but I noticed it immediately the previous times.

The only thing I was thankful for this time was that the ground was too cold and I didn’t walk barefoot…

We would like to advise everyone here that when you go to a room with a cat litter box, remember to turn on the light!

0044 More One Night

From today on, Boss Cheng's restaurant has officially established itself on the continent of Eorzea, and it is now fully exposed in East La Noscea, instead of just a door and a window like in Diagon Alley.

You know, Mr. Cheng's box lunch restaurant has three bright floor-to-ceiling windows. But Diagon Alley is a land of gold and acreage, which doesn't give the system a chance to fully expand the restaurant.

"Eh? Boss, your store is closed today!" one of the culprits lamented, "The Bismarck Restaurant in Haidu is open every day."

"I am different from them." Boss Cheng emphasized without forgetting his original intention: "I am not interested in making money. I opened a restaurant only to realize my dream. It doesn't matter whether I make money or not. If you only think about money every day, once your life and dreams are occupied by money, are they still dreams and life?"

If Boss Cheng doesn't have the standard loan of 2000 million, this would sound reasonable at first glance.

But it just so happens that there is one, so his words are actually not very convincing, and at most they can scare those people who don’t understand Boss Cheng.

The lesbians living on the Costa del Sol were intimidated by Boss Cheng. In particular, several big lesbian bosses, who were also one of the initiators of the Declaration Against Discrimination Against Lesbians and the Convention Against Illegal Lesbian Trade, a wealthy merchant in Ul'dah, the head of the Gegelujiu Chamber of Commerce, and a fellow lesbian, were also impressed by Boss Cheng's attitude towards money.

Because his view on money is exactly the same as Boss Cheng's - if you don't know how to spend money to enjoy life, then making money will be meaningless.

However, if anyone with a discerning eye casually glances at this wealthy businessman, it is not difficult to see that his pursuit of a tasteful life seems to have gone astray. How can one describe the taste of this wealthy businessman...

Correct!

Coal boss in the early 21st century!

The food, clothing, and housing must be luxurious, the servants around you must be beautiful, the security guards outside must be tall and mighty, and the younger brothers who do the work must be obedient and servile.

In any case, the two people who seemed to have similar but actually completely different attitudes towards money had established a preliminary friendship. Boss Cheng then realized that the golden beach called Sunshine Coast where they were located was actually all private property of Gege Lujiu, and it was wholly owned.

But Denise felt that the reason why this wealthy man was willing to establish friendship with Boss Cheng was that his guards were "wiped out" in an instant, and he had to become friends with Boss Cheng for safety reasons. And...

"Since we are friends, you are certainly entitled to enjoy the sun and sand on my coastline. But please don't leave garbage on the beach, which will destroy the balance and harmony of the beach."

If Gegelujiu hadn't been staring at Denise's long legs while talking, Denise would have been very gentlemanly to this slightly rustic rich man. Unfortunately, the rich man only spent a few words to talk to her, but it was longer than the total time that Boss Cheng stared at her when she went to the restaurant to apply for a job.

Perhaps only by immersing herself in the beautiful scenery between the sea and the sky can Denise temporarily forget the lustful eyes of the rich man.

Two children were playing and frolicking on the beach, and a couple was reclining on lounge chairs, enjoying the gentle sea breeze and scorching sunshine. Denise, who knew the sea better than Boss Cheng, was digging on the beach with a shovel, looking like she had made a good harvest.

Boss Cheng, wearing a helmet, sat on a reef far away from the coast, looking anxious as he battled wits and courage with the invisible schools of fish in the sea.

This was not his first time fishing, nor was it the first time he failed to catch any fish. Or rather, he failed to catch any fish every time he went fishing. Before long, Boss Cheng became furious and threw the prepared offensive grenade into the sea.

then……

"Boom!"

The fish was caught, but the fisherman's integrity was gone.

After a morning, the two kids followed Denise and dug up a lot of clams and conches. Although Boss Cheng didn't catch many fish, he caught six or seven crabs bigger than a washbasin in the reef area to vent his anger.

As for the Zodiac Cancer that the Baboon players were looking forward to, Dismasca, it never had a chance to show up. This is probably because Boss Cheng had too few Land Crabs and failed to trigger the FATE of the Zodiac Cancer.

All in all, it was a very rewarding morning!

But in another snowy world, everything was completely opposite to everyone's fruitful harvest.

(Hint: The following text can be read with the music "More One Night" Piano version)

A blonde girl who looked about 20 years old and had a slightly confused look on her face pointed at the vast expanse of white not far away and asked her companion beside her: "Is there really no one under that cloud?"

The black-haired girl shook her head and said she didn't know either.

"But there should be no one left."

The confused blonde girl thought for a long time before she uttered: "In this case, Xiao Qian, will you become the most unfortunate person in the world?"

"Eh?" The girl called Xiao Qian burst out laughing.

"Silly, if that's true, then we are the happiest people in the world!"

"Is that so?" The blonde girl said as she thought: "If I am the happiest person, then Xiao Qian, you will be the second. Actually, it doesn't matter if I am the second."

“Why can’t they be parallel?”

"Eh? If we tie, it won't be considered cheating?"

"Even if you cheat, you don't have to worry about being caught."

After appreciating the sunrise, the girls returned hand in hand to their makeshift camp, ready to use the gunpowder in the only bullet in their package to ignite the few remaining combustible materials in their luggage.

"You must be careful, Xiao You." Xiao Qian warned his companion: "If you accidentally ignite the explosives, the two of us will really..."

"Hey, where are the explosives?" Xiao You asked in confusion, "I should have brought some!"

"what happened?"

Xiao You showed Xiao Qian the box that was supposed to contain the engineering explosives and told her, "I was wrong. There was no explosives in the bag, only compressed dry food."

The two people who slept in the snow opened the last bag of dry food and ate the last meal of their lives with hot snow water.

"Here, this is the last one. Let's take half each." Xiao Qian took out the biscuit stick, broke it into two pieces, and handed the longer piece to Xiao You.

While Xiao You was savoring the last of the food, he asked Xiao Qian: "Well...what should we do next?"

"Who knows!" Xiao Qian drank a mouthful of hot water happily, "Anyway, eat first, then sleep for a while. As for what happens next, let's think about it later."

The two girls snuggled together, gradually closed their eyes, gradually fell asleep, and gradually waited...

……

……

……

……

……

But I don’t know how long it took.

Xiao You, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and woke up Xiao Qian beside him.

"Hey, hey, Xiao Qian! Do you smell it..."

“Smells so good!”

"Could it be that we have already..."

"Xiao You, you just woke me up!"

"Is that...really food?"

Xiao Qian nodded and asked Xiao You: "If it's true... do you remember the smell of grilled fish?"

"Oh? Oh? Oh! It really tastes like that!"

"Xiaoyou!"

"what?"

"Maybe here... maybe our journey..."

“Our journey!”

0045 It's not over until the end

"Boss, can I ask you a personal question?"

Boss Cheng, who was unloading seafood from a helicopter, stopped what he was doing, looked at Denise and asked him, "What do you want to ask?"

"Boss, why are you wearing a helmet when fishing?"

Boss Cheng was puzzled and asked Denise: "Isn't it common sense to wear a helmet when fishing?"

"What kind of weird common sense is this?"

Boss Cheng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Anyway, the first sentence on the cover of the Fishing Beginner's Guide is 'Remember! Wear a helmet when fishing! Wear a helmet! Wear a helmet!' Since the best-selling fishing book author has emphasized it, why should we disobey him?"

Denisa didn't believe it, and immediately found the "Fishing Guide" that she had just sorted out last night. As a result, when she opened the book, she found that the words written on the title page by the author were exactly the same as what Boss Cheng said!

“I really don’t know what the author went through before writing this book…”

(Author: I don’t know either, I can only type in a daze.)

Because the Whirlpool Country is surrounded by the sea, the two survivors of the Whirlpool Clan know how to handle seafood. Boss Cheng, Denise, and Fuso worked together and quickly handled the captured seafood cleanly.

As for Ise, he was born and raised in the Land of Rain. The Land of Rain is located deep inland, so although it has abundant rainfall and fish all year round, he had never seen seafood before today, and he had never even seen a crab bigger than a cow's eyeball. So he could only take on the responsibility of making fire and burning charcoal, and when others had almost finished cleaning up the seafood, he started to burn the charcoal in the oven.

The rest is easy.

Everyone moved the prepared things to the main entrance of the school and changed into the warm clothing they had found from the garbage mountain. Boss Cheng fixed the main entrance of the hotel to the world covered with snow, and Ise opened the main entrance of the school and pushed the red-hot charcoal stove out of the school gate.

As soon as Denise pushed the cart full of food out of the school gate, the six wheels of the cart immediately sank into more than 6 centimeters of snow and could not move.

After leaving the school and entering the snow, the people began to feel that they were short of breath. They gradually increased the depth and frequency of their breathing to make themselves feel more comfortable.

At this time, Mr. Cheng, carrying two boxes of beer, also came to the snow. He put down the beer and the first thing he said was...

"The air is so thin, the altitude must be over 4000 meters."

"Yes." Ise had to pick up the fan and fan the stove a few times, "The burning of the charcoal is affected."
