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

Unfortunately, the system didn't pay any attention to him.

【Please select the system's name for you:】

【Dog Xiu Jinsama】

[Commander]

【Davarishi】

【Shopkeeper】

【Customized Title】

Cheng Tianyan: ...

【Please choose your title! 】

"Shopkeeper."

[Okay, owner. Now please choose the business direction of your restaurant:]

[The crown of the catering industry, highly sought after by top wealthy people and high-end gourmets;]

[Full of personality, loved by gourmets, only accepts private reservations for private restaurants;]

[Specializing in fresh food, barbecue and Jianghu cuisine, this food stall is loved by night owls;]

[A buffet restaurant that serves a wide variety of dishes to all groups of people, and customers need to pick up their own food. ]

"I choose the buffet." Cheng Tianyan replied.

【Please tell me the reason for your choice. 】

"Because this is a box restaurant, I think a box restaurant should also be considered a buffet."

[The owner's reasons are sufficient, and the system has approved the application. In the future, this system will mainly use the buffet service model to assist the owner in operating a box restaurant. ]

【Boom! 】

[Release business task: first order]

[Receive and serve your first batch of guests. Please satisfy them with attentive service and delicious dishes, and complete a service with a comprehensive evaluation of more than 3 stars. ]

[Task Rewards: 1. Perfect cooking skills for the top ten must-have dishes at Hedian Restaurant; 2. Unlock subsequent tasks and rewards. ]

Cheng Tianyan, who had experienced all kinds of strange experiences, knew that there was no need to understand the ins and outs of some things. Just like he was resurrected. Or for example, he was attacked the day before yesterday, and was bound to some system today.

In his opinion, systems are like intelligent artificial intelligence, which can always provide you with the most valuable and reasonable suggestions, even if the voice of the system is as cold as an artificial retard.

As for the rewards, they are probably similar to the victory treasure chests in the competitive world. The corresponding rewards will be issued according to the high reward conditions. These are not difficult to understand, so there is no need to ask an artificial idiot about them.

All in all, having suggestions and rewards is much better than him fighting alone.

but……

Although the mission was good and the reward was attractive, neither the system nor Cheng Tianyan anticipated the desolation of the area around the Hedian Restaurant. So, two days after the "trial operation" of the restaurant, the system had to help Cheng Tianyan activate the Hedian Restaurant's trans-time and space connection function in advance.

In a nutshell, the door of the box food restaurant is randomly connected to other worlds, so that the box food restaurant attracts guests from other worlds to dine in.

Then, the strange combination of Traveler and Paimon became the first guests of the "Old Mine School Lunch Box", followed by Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru.

As for the third group of customers in the store...

"Quick! Lower the shutter! The monster outside is about to come in!"

There was only one customer in the third group, a slightly fat man wearing a bright yellow warm vest. Under the vest, the slightly fat man also had a police blue short-sleeved shirt, and on the right cuff was a badge embroidered with the word "STARS".

Cheng Tianyan, who had hundreds of battle memories, also knew what the police blue uniform and armband represented. He quickly picked up the police officer and asked him:

"Would you like a box lunch? It's 12 dollars and it's enough to fill you up."

The future Sannin: "..."

Officer Stars: “…”

Only the kind-hearted Paimon reminded him, "Boss, the most urgent thing now should be to confirm the danger! How obsessed are you with selling lunch boxes?"

"But I'm just selling lunch boxes!" The boss shrugged and asked them, "How dangerous can it be? Erasing it across time and space?"

suddenly!

[Reminder: The risk level of trans-temporal erasure is 13. The current risk level of the restaurant is 3. ]

[Note: Risk Level 3 represents the risk of small-scale conflicts caused by chemical weapons, biological weapons, or toxic and hazardous substances, which have not yet escalated into a state of war.]

[Risk-related preventive measures: Please close and lock the restaurant's main door. 】

"Don't need to lower the shutter?"

[No, lowering the roller blind corresponds to a risk level of 6 or above. ]

Then, Cheng Tianyan put down the police officer he had been holding in his hands, closed the shop door that had been knocked open, and finally locked the door.

About half a minute later, hundreds of people, covered in blood, missing limbs, with some suffering from hemiplegia, stroke, hemiplegia, or diapers, gathered towards the main entrance of the Box Restaurant.

I saw five or six unrecognizable bloody people blocking the glass door, banging and hitting the door. But no matter how hard they hit, the glass door did not move at all, and the people in the restaurant could not even hear the sound of the monsters hitting the door.

Soon, the door and windows of the restaurant were filled with bloody monsters. But no matter how hard the monsters pushed, they were only helpless and furious in the end.

"The intersection of time and space?" Orochimaru looked at the monster just across the door and smiled leisurely, "There are indeed too many things in the world worth exploring."

Officer Stars pointed at the monster outside the door and asked Cheng Tianyan: "Is that monster really unable to get in?"

"I think so!" After saying that, Cheng Tianyan asked the police officer again: "Do you want to order a box lunch?"

The police officer shook his head and asked the boss: "Why is your store door so strong?"

Cheng Tianyan didn't understand either, so he could only answer: "Maybe it's because it's made in China."

"What?"

"It's triple-laminated, so it's somewhat bulletproof."

"Why?"

“The world is too complicated, and I’m afraid it will be purchased for zero dollars.”

Unfortunately, Cheng Tianlin's sincerity was met with a scrutinizing look from the other party, as if to say, "Who do you think America is?"

Fortunately, Jiraiya appeared beside his boss in time and asked Officer Stars, "What's going on with those people outside who are covered in blood and look half dead?"

"They are all ordinary people infected by the virus!" the police officer replied, "I don't quite understand why the virus that should have been eliminated broke out in the city. But the people infected by the virus are no longer human. They have all become zombies."

"The walking dead?" The diners in the restaurant all looked puzzled.

Fortunately, Cheng Tianyan was knowledgeable and explained to everyone: "I understand this! In short, the walking dead refer to the zombies outside - dead bodies that are still able to move. Some are due to witchcraft, some are infected by viruses and fungi, and some are due to mechanical modification. No matter what kind of zombie it is, killing them is always the best solution."

"Kill him?" Tsunade asked, "How?"

"Head explosion, burning to ashes, or plasma transformation."

"Do you have any idea?"

Cheng Tianyan shrugged and said, "Maybe it wasn't there before you came, but it is now!"

【Boom! 】

[Release temporary tasks: lunch boxes and bento]

[If there are zombies outside, there must be survivors. Save the survivors and sell them lunch boxes to increase the restaurant's performance! Remember, you are selling lunch boxes, not handing out bento boxes! ]

[Mission objective: rescue at least 100 people]

【mission rewards:

Essential delicious cooking skills for lunch boxes: Advanced version (I); Free restaurant renovation. 】

[Note: To ensure that the restaurant can accommodate more than 2200 people for long-term dining, the system will upgrade the school dormitory buildings to apartments. It is estimated that upgrading the two dormitory buildings will incur a standard amount of million yuan, which will be in the form of an interest-free loan.]

In other words, this small restaurant had just started its trial operation, and the system forced Cheng Tianyan to obtain a loan of a standard amount of 2200 million.

What does this standard amount of 2200 million mean?

Today, Hedian Restaurant's revenue is less than 24 standard gold, and the cost of ingredients and other expenses is 10.2 standard gold. The profit is 13 standard gold, and the profit per customer is less than 3 standard gold.

However, this is because Mora is more valuable. If the income is all "liang", the actual customer unit profit may not even reach 1 standard.

Even if we calculate the profit based on the standard amount of customer orders...

If you want to repay a loan of 2200 million, you have to sell 2200 million lunch boxes!

"Is it possible not to reform?" Cheng Tianyan asked.

【cannot. 】

"What will be the consequences if you can't pay it back?" Cheng Tianyan asked again.

[The system failed, and the store owner lost his mind and became an incontinent idiot. ]

You see, the motivation to make money comes out all at once!

Want to be a salted fish?

Impossible! Unless you really want to wear adult diapers all day long.

So, even if he just wanted to cook and sell lunch boxes honestly, even if zombies were rampant outside and the survivors had nothing to do with him, but in order to make money to pay off his debts...

"Zombies! They must die!"

0003 No chance to show off

For Cheng Tianyan, who has experienced many storms, as long as the zombies do not float up to make magic circles, fly around with swords, drive spaceships, or bombard him with energy-projecting weapons, they are not difficult enemies to deal with.

As for the zombies outside the store, don't expect them to be able to control weapons. If they can figure out how to navigate the area, it will be a major leap forward in their lives.

Officer Stars, who entered the store but did not eat the box lunch, quickly calmed down after confirming that the environment he was in was absolutely safe. The first thing he did after calming down was to drink two bottles of soda in one breath - a 500ml Coke produced by COFCO Coca-Cola Shenyang Bottling Plant, and a bottle of Dabaili soda produced by an unknown small factory in Harbin.

After finishing the soda, the police officer asked in confusion: "Don't you sell American beverages here? Why are they all from the Flower Country?"

"From my perspective, all I sell are domestic products."

After answering the question, Cheng Tianyan didn't want to explain too much about the so-called "domestic" cognitive differences. He found that people in other worlds seemed to have no concept of "time and space intersections". Otherwise, the guest named Orochimaru wouldn't be shocked all the time.

"Do you want to cut the scene?" Cheng Tianyan asked Orochimaru.

"No, this hellish scene is truly shocking."

Look, he is still shocked!

On the contrary, the Traveler and Paimon did not show any shock, but they were really disgusted by the zombies outside.

Then, the big and the small turned their heads decisively and started watching an animation about a certain Bear Ridge.

The police officer didn't care about the children in the store and the guy dressed like an ancient man. He patted his cheek, cheered up, and asked Cheng Tianyan boldly:

"Boss, which street does your back door lead to?"

"Back door?" Cheng Tianyan pointed to the closed steel security door and told the officer, "It doesn't lead to the street. Behind the door was an abandoned school, but it's now an apartment."

"Abandoned school?" the officer asked in confusion, "Why didn't I know there was a school in this location in Raccoon City?"

"Oh! So this place is called Raccoon City!"

"You..." The police officer stared at Cheng Tianyan as if he was an idiot.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't worry about whether I know or not. Just tell me what you want to do by asking about the back door."

"The police station is under siege by a group of zombies. If we don't get support, it's only a matter of time before we fall." The police officer said bluntly: "I have to go find reinforcements, the National Guard, and heavy firepower units."

"But there are no troops in the city. We need to leave here to find them, right?"

The police officer nodded and said, "Indeed, the National Guard did not enter Raccoon City. But I heard that the highway in the south of the city is guarded by the Guard's heavy firepower units. So..."

"So, you want to try your luck there."

"Yeah." The police officer nodded.

"But why didn't they come? Since they were already guarding the roads in and out of the city."

"This……"

"Then let's change the question." Cheng Tianyan asked again: "What kind of major incident happened in Raccoon City that caused the army that was supposed to protect the citizens to stop moving forward?"

"Why don't you know anything..."
