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

"Do you think my suggestion is okay?"

The shirtless man nodded vigorously.

"Well, tell me what year, month and day it is now."

"July 2024, 3."

"The next question is, where is this place?"

"Wrap it up, wrap it up and rush it away."

"Where is Guagugan? Which country is it from?"

"Yes, from Hongsawadi Shan State, north of Hongsawadi."

"Where is the specific location?"

"Next to the colorful clouds in the south."

"Oh." Boss Cheng nodded and asked, "Master, what do you do for a living?"

The man wanted to give Boss Cheng a look that said "Are you stupid?" But when he thought of the security captain who was beaten to death with one hand, he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

But just because he didn't dare to act recklessly, it didn't mean that others didn't dare to do so. After receiving the order, the soldier holding the AK pulled the trigger at Boss Cheng without hesitation. However, these bullets, which were enough to kill an elephant, were greatly defeated by the Berserker armor that suddenly covered Boss Cheng's entire body.

The expired 7.62 bullet not only penetrated the man's body, but also accidentally injured his teammates after penetrating the man's body. A few unlucky guys were injured by stray bullets that hit the surface of the armor and ricocheted.

But they deserve it. It's because these idiots were standing in a circle. Who else should they attack if the ricochets and penetrating bullets don't attack you?

Looking at Boss Cheng again, he slowly took out the MA5B assault rifle from the combat warehouse and delivered every 7.62 full-power rifle bullet into the head of every enemy who dared to shoot at Boss Cheng.

In the blink of an eye, none of the slipper soldiers who had just been showing off their AKs had a complete head anymore.

Boss Cheng leaned over and took out the mobile phone that had luckily escaped a volley of bullets from the shirtless man's briefcase. He saw the "China Telecom" and "4G" logos on the upper right corner of the phone, so he thought about it in his mind and then dialed the number.

"Hello, Paradise Box Lunch, would you like to place an order or for something else?"

"I, your boss!"

"Ah! Boss!" Denise asked in a voice that could hardly conceal her surprise, "Boss, where have you been? Rogers has been back for almost a month, why did you just show up?"

"I don't know why. I had just come back less than 20 minutes ago when someone shot me in the street."

"Eh? Tutu?" Denisa joked with a smile: "Boss, you make it sound like you are in Honsavadi or Mexico."

But the next second, Denisa heard Boss Cheng ask him: "Guogang should be to the north of Hongshawadi, right?"

Dinisa:!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

At this moment, Denise heard bursts of dense gunfire coming from Boss Cheng's microphone.

Boss Cheng also cursed on the other end of the phone: "Tsk, this is so f*cking annoying."

Then Boss Cheng asked Denise to help contact Zhou Zhezhi.

"For now, I might get into some serious trouble. You should ask him to prepare for this, just like cleaning up my mess."

"Hey! Boss, what are you going to do?!"

"They've all brought their infantry fighting vehicles out to shoot me down. What do you think I'm going to do?"

0119 Current version answer

【Boom! 】

【System connection successful! 】

【Welcome back to Hualin City, shop owner. 】

[The mission reward will be settled after the owner returns to the restaurant. ]

This was the system prompt that Boss Cheng received when he entered the Hualin City Mining Bureau by helicopter on the afternoon of March 3.

This time, Boss Cheng didn't even need to ask questions. The system reported the whole story that Boss Cheng was not only delayed by 24 minutes, but also misjudged by 3258.87 kilometers.

The system said that it was to help Boss Cheng teleport Doom away, and Boss Cheng had a secret relationship with the Heavenly Father of that world. The Heavenly Father was so angry that he kept doing bad things when the system teleported Boss Cheng. It kept changing the coordinates of the other world of Hell, so that the live broadcast equipment that had been following Boss Cheng had to keep repositioning the coordinates.

Even so, an error still occurred when teleporting Boss Cheng, which resulted in the loss of Boss Cheng's coordinates. This caused the teleportation destination to shift 3258.87 kilometers to Myanmar.

But Boss Cheng generously said that at least the place where he deviated was still on land. He was lucky that he didn't deviate into the sky or the trench.

This is also the reason why Boss Cheng still retains 100% awakening ability after being transferred to Kokang, Myanmar. After all, the target is lost, and even if the system wants to recover it, it cannot be recovered.

"So am I really retired or just faking it? Can you tell me the truth?"

【…】

In a project team office in the competitive world, a nobody who was on duty pointed at the screen and shouted to the programmer who was playing scratch cards nearby: "It's over, it's over! The Spartans have discovered us!"

The programmer who just won 2pt with 50pt laughed out loud, and after redeeming the only winning scratch ticket to his electronic account, he looked up and said, "It doesn't matter. It's only a matter of time before he is discovered. If he doesn't find out, we really have to doubt the intelligence of the Spartans."

"But how should I answer him?"

"Just tell him that his abilities will be recovered. But I promise that his IQ will not be lowered in the future."

"Is it really okay to show off like this?"

The programmer shrugged and said, "We take the initiative to show our sincerity."

Then, Boss Cheng, who was sitting in the helicopter, received this sincerity. Boss Cheng basically didn't care about the fact that his abilities were taken back. He didn't even care that the temporary combat warehouse was taken back.

Anyway, there is no need to risk your life. Having warehouses and abilities will affect your daily life. Superpowers are like guns. If you carry such things with you, once you encounter a problem, you will subconsciously choose to use the gun first to solve all problems that can be solved with a gun.

This has nothing to do with intelligence, reason, or self-control. It only becomes relevant when you decide whether to pull out the gun.

So back to the original question:

"Did you never intend to let me retire from the beginning?"

[Retrieving answers...]

"Can you talk to me in the normal way that people communicate with each other?"

【…】

[Sorry, Spartan. The person you just spoke to is a recent intern.]

"So you are the ones who have been operating the system's backend?"

[Yes, it has always been operated by real people. ]

"Then what's the point of designing this system? It can't be just to fool me, right?"

【…】

"say."

[I just hope that in a more acceptable way, you can slowly adapt to your retirement life without completely leaving the competitive world. ]

"Are you really going to let me retire?"

[Isn't your life now what you always wanted? Although there are more fighting parts in it. At least you don't have to be forced to participate in competitive games. Although you have always taken the initiative to participate in competitions, occasionally participating in a few battles that do not involve rankings or points, but can experience the feeling of being a savior, isn't it a good way to adjust your life? ]

Eh……

The other party was so frank all of a sudden that Boss Cheng found it hard to adapt for a while. But just as the operator behind the system said, it was actually difficult for someone like him who was used to fighting for life and death to adapt to a dull, uneventful life.

At least judging from the two events of Boss Makoto "slaughtering his father" and "causing a big disturbance in Konoha", it is enough to prove that Boss Makoto still does not reject fighting in his heart.

"So? Why did you arrange this?"

[To ensure that the cornerstone is not destroyed. ]

"cornerstone?"

[Keystone World No. 27 is what we call the Earth in 2024 where you are. 】

"Wait!" Boss Cheng's eyes turned, and he recalled the old stories in the competitive world. Then he asked, "I remember that in the widely circulated legend in the competitive world, 26 predecessors who were once among the top 10 retired before me."

[26 of the 24 predecessors are happily protecting the cornerstone world. ]

“Why only 24?”

[Because the first two players were angered by the idiots in the cornerstone world, they destroyed those two worlds. Therefore, all the retired players after that had their abilities sealed.]

What should Boss Cheng say?

"Fuck, this explanation makes so much sense..."

As for the so-called "Cornerstone World", the explanation given by the 27th Cornerstone World Crisis Response Project Team is: the world in a higher dimension cannot exist independently, it needs the world in a lower dimension to provide it with the foundation, support and basis for its existence.

The more cornerstone worlds are protected, the more stable their existence is, and the better they can support the continuation of the competitive world in a higher dimension. And the competitive world in a higher dimension can also better protect these cornerstone worlds.

“How many cornerstones are there that support the competitive world?”

[Sorry, Spartan, this is not something you should know. But within my authority, I can tell you that the number of cornerstone worlds is no less than 100. So Cheng-A303, are you willing to continue to stay on the 27th cornerstone world and continue to protect it? ]

“What would happen to the world if I proposed a negative resolution?”

[With the scientific technology you provided, and the soul materialization technology obtained from Alaya, the human beings in the 27th cornerstone world already have a minimum guarantee for survival. ]

"Minimum? How low?"

【3/1000 to 15/1000. 】

"So low!"

【Yes. 】

"Then let's continue?"

【Thank you for your dedication and cooperation. 】

"Actually, I'm living happily in Hualin City and don't want to move."

【I agree with your point of view.】

"Since our cooperation is so pleasant, can you help me wipe out the loan?"

The programmer behind the screen only then realized that Boss Cheng had been chatting with him for such a long time and even played the emotional card. It turned out that his real purpose was this loan!

[But your loan is not fake! It is really an interest-free loan that the project team and the main controller applied for! This money really needs to be repaid! We have not deducted a penny, we are not lying! ]

As for the 300 million yuan loan standard amount that was reduced due to completing the task...

The truth behind this reduction in the loan amount was actually the commission given by the main controller to Mr. Cheng, but it was used by the project team to fill Mr. Cheng's loan hole.

In other words, the so-called 2000 million standard funds should actually be called 2000 million pts. And it is a real loan!

【As a top contestant, you should know the consequences of not paying the money in the World Bank. 】

Although Boss Cheng knew, he neither wanted to know, nor dared to know, nor was he willing to know. He was destined to not be able to refuse to pay the money. Boss Cheng also understood why the system did not allow him to use gold to repay the debt, because the repayment form of the competitive world is to repay the points earned by participating in competitions or completing tasks.

Boss Cheng’s job is to make money by running a restaurant and selling boxed lunches.

"But I have a loan of more than 1800 million yuan, which is very stressful."

[It's better to be open-minded about this kind of thing. Well, the most important thing for a person is to be happy. When you get back to the restaurant, make yourself a bowl of noodles.]

But when Boss Cheng returned to his restaurant, he couldn't be happy at all.

March 2024, 3, is a typical early spring weekend in Northeast China, with bright sunshine but bad wind. The wind is so cold that it hurts people's faces.

However, in this chilly spring breeze, a group of young and middle-aged people, who were not afraid of the cold, blocked the main entrance of Cheng Laoban Restaurant. Even though the shutters were still closed, it did not stop these parents from expressing their emotions to Denise and Xiao Xiangcheng.

Just by looking at these excited and hateful parents, Boss Cheng guessed that it must be Xiao Xiangcheng's lawless child who caused some big trouble in the interest class again.

But Boss Cheng guessed wrong this time. The trouble was not caused by Xiao Xiangcheng, but by her aunt, Uzumaki Denise!

Because many children's interest classes like to be held on the upper floors or basements of shopping malls, there are always crowds of children and parents together every time class starts or ends.
