Chapter 8: Teleport Again

After Batya Liu left, George continued to exercise for a while before returning home. Because he had been in the barbecue business recently, George needed to make various vegetable and meat skewers during the day. This was a very time-consuming task. Although George only rented a room, the house itself had three bedrooms and a living room. The other rooms were empty, and there was a refrigerator in the living room. As no one else lived there, the ingredients George usually purchased were placed in the refrigerator. His business was average and he didn't need to purchase a lot of ingredients. Hence, a small refrigerator is enough. "If I could bring some vegetables and meat from that world, then I wouldn't have to purchase these things. The cost would also be reduced." George thought while busying away. This was a good idea indeed. Since the chicken meat could be brought out, the same would naturally apply to the other things. However, he didn't know enough about the world, and was unsure if he could get those ingredients. As for whether they were edible, George wasn't worried about that because he had already eaten the chicken he brought from the place, and it still tasted good. Moreover, the backpack was very special. Although the chicken was placed in it, not only did the taste remain the same, it even retained its heat. Hence, there naturally wouldn't be a problem if other ingredients were placed in. In the evening, George went out to set up the barbeque stall again. Before using that alternate reality to change his life, George didn't dare to disrupt his current life. He was afraid that he would not be able to survive. The business in the evening was still tepid. George looked at the barbecue restaurant across the street with envy. If he became rich one day, he would also open one of his own. The space of the restaurant would be large and the better environment would definitely attract more customers. In the past, he could only dream about such a thing. Afterall, it was easier said than done, especially with his constant bad luck. He didn't know when his barbecue stall would have to shut down. However, now that he had the special ring, everything was different. Opening a restaurant of his own didn't seem not that far out of reach anymore. If the old man who gave George the ring knew that George would be satisfied enough if he could open his own restaurant after getting the ring, he would probably fly off the roof. When he returned home, it was past one o'clock in the morning. After a quick shower, George laid on the bed again. Feeling slightly excited, he turned the ring in his hands and silently recited "teleport" in his heart. This was the method the old man taught him. Sure enough, the next second, the familiar darkness clouded George's gaze again. It enveloped his whole body, making him slightly uncomfortable. Fortunately, this feeling passed quickly. The next second, the familiar village appeared in front of him again. George was obviously more prepared and excited compared to the day before when he was still lost, because he knew that this ring may really change his destiny and allow him to say goodbye to his old life. Of course, as the old man said, God only gave him the opportunity to change his destiny. As for whether he could change it in the end, it still depended on himself. George ran towards the village chief's house in excitement. He was very satisfied with the appraisal skill he obtained from the village chief yesterday. He also wanted to get more benefits from the village chief. "Chief, I'm here. Do you have any missions for me?" "Mission? No, no, please leave quickly, I don't want to see you." In contrast with George's excited expression, the old village chief's was sour when he saw George. It was obvious that he still remembered George taking the appraisal skill from him the day before. "Oh, come on chief, we are old acquaintances. What you said really hurt my feelings." George was trying to butter up the chief as he continued, "If you have any missions, just give me your orders. Whether you want to issue a reward or not, it's up to you." "Really?" The village chief seemed a little unconvinced by George's change of attitude. He clearly remembered that George's shamelessness when the latter asked him for a reward the day before. George had also insisted on getting some magical weapon, mystical beast and so on. How could someone change entirely in just a day? "Of course!" George patted his chest, "How can we be the kind of people who are so blinded by money that they won't work without a reward? No way!" Although this was only the second time he had entered this world, George discovered that this world had living people, not just a string of data. They all had feelings and thoughts, so in other words this was also a real world. Therefore, it was not a bad thing to have a good relationship with the people here. What's more, if the village chief really issued a mission to him, he would give him some reward, just like how Aunty Wang gave him a bowl of chicken before. Anyway, George was now a pure newcomer so he wanted everything offered to him. "Well, well, I did not misjudge you then." The old village chief seemed to believe in George and was very satisfied with his attitude. "However, I do not have any mission here for the time being. You can go to Mr. Li's first to have a look." "Mr. Li?" George was stunned. "He is the pharmacist in our village. Even though our village isn't that big, there is no shortage of pharmacists, chefs, and blacksmiths. Moreover, they are all top-notch, even in the entire continent, they are at the top! "The old village chief said proudly. His face was radiant, and he had a bit of the look he had before when he was possessed by the cheerful spirit. Bragging! George said to himself internally. Deep down, he only saw this as just a novice village. According to past experience, the novice village was a place to serve novices and a place for "players" to familiarize themselves with the "game". "Players" would stay in a place like this for a long time, and the people here could only issue some basic tasks. Naturally, the "system figures" here would not be very advanced. George only thought that the old village chief was painting a rosy picture. However, George wouldn't say this out loud. He didn't want to absurd or offend the other person in the face. He also didn't want the old village chief to drive him away in shame and anger. As he was still weak, if he just left the novice village, he would die an ugly death outside. After learning the location of "Mr. Li" from the old village chief, George planned to go there and have a look. Although the village chief did not have a mission, the same applied to the others. As long as he had a mission, he would not Picked.
