[Well made counterfeit money]

Jiang Feng did not accept the money from the strongly built man in front of him.

”My apologies, dear customer, but we don't have enough change for your 100 bucks,” Jiang Feng smiled as he explained.

”Seriously?” the customer grunted and swapped his 100 bill for a 20 bill. He cursed after he got his small change and left.

”Xiao Feng, I thought we have enough change in the box?” Jiang Feng's mother, Wang Xiulian, came out from the kitchen and asked.

”The money he had was fake,” Jiang Feng explained as he cleaned the table like a well-programed machine so that he could close up the shop.

”Fake?” Wang Xiulian's smile quickly turned into a stern look, so much that her triple chin tightened up into two. ”How dare him! Let me know if he ever steps his foot here again! He'll regret trying to scam us!”

Jiang Feng wasn't even worried if his mother were to start a fight. Even the muscular customer from before wouldn't be a match for her.

”Come on, our son is a university student, there's no way such a cheap trick would get him,” Jiang Feng's father, Jiang Jiankang, smiled as he walked out from the kitchen with a plate of food in his hand. ”Come, son, here's your favorite Kung Pao Chicken.”

[A plate of Kung Pao Chicken fried in oil and sweat]

”I'm on a diet,” Jiang Feng shook his head as he began to wonder how to persuade his father to get an air-conditioner in the kitchen.

His father weighed around 120kg. Moving that body in a 10m2 space for the whole day was a challenge for him.

”Diet? Look at yourself! You would still look good even if you put on another 50 kilos!” Jiang Jiankang laughed. The thing that Jiang Jiankang was most proud of was his tall and relatively thin son. Jiang Jiankan had four other siblings and five nieces and nephews. Except for the twin girls his youngest brother had, Jiang Feng was the only one that had not reached the 100-kilogram mark.

Jiang Jiankang's words reminded Jiang Feng of the family gathering during last years Lunar New Year. Only six of their family members could fit in a round table that could usually sit 10 people. Only men were allowed to sit on the main table while others had to get another table to dine on.

”Here, have some chicken,” Jiang Jiankang said as he placed a huge piece of chicken in Jiang Feng's bowl.

”Your father is right. Why do you need to go on a diet anyway?” Wang Xiulian nodded.

Jiang Feng sighed and started to eat.

”Dad…”

”Yes?”

”It's too hot in here. Just get some air-con.”

The family cleaned the restaurant up after they finished their dinner. Since Wang Xiulian and Jiang Jianfeng had to make sure their stock was appropriate, they told Jiang Feng to go back home on his own first.

Jiang Feng left the restaurant and turned to look at the building's sign.

[A worn-out sign]

Jiang Feng turned around, and the pop-up description was gone.

So, the pop-ups only appear inside the shop?

Jiang Feng asked himself. After testing for two days, he was sure where the pop-ups would appear.

”Ding! Congratulations, player Jiang Feng, for activating the game. Game is currently loading, please wait…” a woman's voice appeared out of nowhere and said.

The voice made Jiang Feng jump as he looked around.

”Loading successful,” the voice appeared again two minutes later. ”Please check your control panel. Please do your best to complete your quests.”

Jiang Feng realized there was a small exclamation mark on the top right of his vision. Without giving any second thought, he reached his finger out and pushed on the exclamation mark.
