Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The 15th year of the Lolan era.
Residing in an unknown tavern in the capital of Lolan, sat a person nad Lorne, who rested both his hands on a table. He stared at the pedestrians outside the tavern with glossy eyes and a bored expression
“This damn system, why does it take six months to activate?” Lorne was a transmigrator. A few months ago, he had unintentionally transmigrated from the modern world to a place nad Lolan City in the 15th year of the Lolan era.
After a few months of being in this world, he used the knowledge he had to quickly earn his first pot of gold. He earned it by opening a tavern in a corner of this huge capital city.
The purpose of opening a tavern was to satisfy his future life needs and to familiarize himself with the life in this world. However, not long after the tavern opened, he got notified by the system. It reminded him that he still had seven more months to go before he could re-activate it. After that, there was no more news from the system. Lorne did not know the na of the system, nor the functionalities that ca with it.
However, considering that he was a transmigrator. He knew that by not having help from the system, he would have an easier ti in the future. After all, learning about history could help him make better judgnts, but many conditions were still difficult to et. Therefore, Lorne decided to wait patiently for the system to be re-activated again. With that, he would then be able to see what shocking benefits it would bring.
...
Right about when Lorne’s mind ran wild, two middle-aged n suddenly walked in from outside. They wore gorgeous clothes, and they seed like they were from a wealthy family.
Seeing the two n, Lorne imdiately braced himself to greet them.
“Charles, Vincent, what do you want to eat today?”
He knew these two n. They were rchants who would occasionally stay in Lolan City to do business.
The tavern had just opened for business. Even though he had modern cooking skills and exquisite dishes, there was not much publicity as it was considered a tiny tavern. Therefore, not many custors would know about this tiny tavern.
However, after the two rich-looking n had a taste of his food, they beca obsessed with his cooking. After that, they would co back once every few days to support his business.
In addition to eating at the tavern, they themselves were very generous. Every ti they dined in, they would give an extra tip to Lorne. Slowly, the three of them ca to know each other better.
Sotis the two n would co together, and sotis Charles ca alone.
Charles started the conversation with Lorne with a smile, “Boss, we’re regulars here. Don’t you know what we want?”
“With your cooking skills, we just want whatever you have to offer.”
Lorne nodded as they both spoke.
“Well, I don’t have anyone here. You can sit wherever you want.”
After inviting them in, Lorne turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare the als for his two custors.
Charles and Vincent did not care too much either. They found a place to sit down and spoke in hushed tones. Soon enough, Lorne quickly ca out from the kitchen with a few dishes. After all, it was a ho-cooked dish, so did not take him long.
The food was placed in front of Charles and Vincent. The color was bright and fragrant and both the seated n salivated from the appetizing als.
Charles could not help but pick up the cutlery and began eating without caring about the scalding of his mouth.
“Boss, how did you learn to cook like this? I’ve been in business for so many years, and I’ve earned a lot of money.
“Not to ntion, I’ve eaten all kinds of delicacies, and I’ve also eaten a lot of world-famous als.
“But when compared to your cooking, it’s one of a kind. I can’t help but co here every now and then to have a taste.”
Charles mumbled as he ate.
Lorne only responded modestly to the complints of others. Then, he went back to the front desk and raised his hand again to look at the scene outside.
He began to imagine what system he would get. It would be best if he could get an amazing power for himself. When he succeeded and beca famous, he would buy dozens of mansions, and for each mansion, he would have a clingy wife. When that ti ca, he would enjoy his life to the fullest. He would be able to live like a king and live as comfortably as possible.
As Lorne daydread, he let out a long sigh. Right then, Charles’s voice startled him from his thoughts.
“Boss, co and chat with us. It’s aningless for the two of us to just work and eat like this.”
Lorne responded with a nod, then he got up and walked over. He was used to this offer. Every ti the two rchants ca to his tavern to eat, they would ask him so questions.
They would ask questions that were sotis common, and sotis uncommon.
“How’s the business like in the Eastern and Western cities?”
“How’s the Public Security on the streets?”
“Can the people here eat well? Do they dress well here?”.
They would even sotis blurt out dangerous topics related to the kingdom’s military. Lorne almost thought that the two of them were experts in the study of human culture. After all, these questions did not seem like questions that a usual businessman would usually ask.
However, considering that Charles and Vincent were generous lads, and Lorne was also very bored, it was good to find soone to brag to. Therefore, he would seriously answer the other party’s questions each ti they asked.
Fortunately, Lorne’s knowledge when it ca to history was profound. Lorne could easily answer these questions that were recorded in history, so his answers always satisfied the two n.
When Lorne walked over, he pulled a chair across from Charles and sat down. Lorne put on a serious look. After all, he knew that if the two of them were satisfied with his answer, the tip would be more than enough for him to live comfortably for the next month!
“What do the two of you want to talk about this ti? I can tell you what I know.”
Charles and Vincent looked at each other and revealed subtle smiles.
“Boss, this ti we want to talk about sothing special. We want to hear your opinion on sothing.”
Lorne was slightly stunned by their change in deanor, then he nodded curiously.
“Special question? Interesting. Tell more about it.”
Charles coughed lightly.
“Boss, what do you think the King of Lolan is like?”
