Chapter 8 – Feelings
TL: Cryarc
Editor: Puissansa, Krrizis, Mysterious Editor No.3
 
 
Somehow, by riding on the momentum, I'm going to buy a light novel for Asakura-san. Should I casually ask about what book she might want? (Andou)
 
「Asakura-san, do you have any light novels you've wanted to buy or maybe a title you're interested in?」
 
「Hmmm, they haven't released the book I wanted to buy yet. It's the one with serialization for it being decided recently – 『Other World Cheat Swindler (Conman) 』*. Currently I don't have anything else I'm interested in...
Ah right! Andou-kun, what books are you reading now?」
 
I might as well use this opportunity to ask what light novel Andou-kun likes. If he doesn't mind, I'll ask him to buy it for me. If I do that, after I've finished reading the book we can naturally exchange impressions about it! See, I'm a genius! (Asakura)
 
「M-me? Currently I'm reading this.」
「Which one... eh, 『Saint of Greed』*? This is, if I'm not mistaken it's a novel from Narou which has a female protagonist, right?」
「Yep, even though this is about a female protagonist, this is quite interesting. Because she didn't have any greed, her life was short and she died while regretting that she couldn't stop conflicts in the world. This time, to erase conflicts from the world she is reincarnated as a demon lord who takes everything from the world for herself and forcefully makes people happy, it's that kind of story.」
 
「Hee, it seems surprisingly interesting from the synopsis... Ne! Is there anything else?」
「Uuh... ah, umm…..」
 
Eh? Andou-kun is suddenly panicking, I wonder why? (Asakura)
 
C-crap... I unintentionally became nervous because Asakura-san suddenly smiled at me. Loners have weak resistance against pretty girls who treats them nicely – at this rate I will fall in love with her... Even if fall for her, it's pretty much impossible for the most beautiful girl in school to be willing to date someone like me... Right now I have to maintain my composure by thinking that it's impossible!
 
Fuh, calm down, me... She is not a pretty girl. Right, she is a gremlin. Gremlin, gremlin, she's a gremlin... Alright! (Andou)
 
「I know right. Next one, even though I've only read this recently, it's interesting.」
 
Hmm? Andou-kun is returning to his usual self. I wonder what happened just now? (Asakura)
 
 
「What is it? 『The Villainess Trains the Prince from Enemy Country』* what is this... isn't this a porn book...? 」
「It's not that kind of book! 」
「Sorry sorry, but the title is... 」
「Well… I admit that the title is misleading. But, considering that this is for all ages, there is no scene like that at all...  This is a rom-com story about the protagonist who got reincarnated as a villainess inside an otome-game world. To avoid bad ends, she needed to rehabilitate the evil prince from the enemy country with whips, aiming for happy end.」
「Hee, after hearing about the content it seems interesting. But, it looks like Andou-kun reads stories aimed at girls, isn't that embarrassing? 」
「Embarrassing? 」
「Andou-kun seems unashamed though... Look, isn't it awkward to read these kinds of light novels at school?  It's a different matter if it's just normal light novel, but among the books Andou-kun reads at school there are also those light novels which are definitely aimed at girls based from the cover, with shoujo manga style illustrations inside of it too, right? I mean, it's embarrassing being seen by other people while reading that kind of stuff... isn't it? 」
 
I've been curious about that even from way back then... Rather, that's the reason why I'm interested in Andou-kun in the first place. I'm too embarrassed to admit that I'm a light novel otaku so at school I'm hiding my hobby of reading light novels. But the first time I saw Andou-kun, he was boldly reading a light novel with the title 『Little Sister Will Marry Big Brother!』* in a transparent vinyl cover in class alone.
 
At that moment, looking at him like that shocked me, as if I was struck by thunder 『Eh, if you're putting a cover on it why are you not hiding the illustration!? 』『Rather, isn't that embarrassing? 』 and so on. That's why I wanted to know why he could boldly read light novels in class like that. (Asakura)
 
Even though Asakura-san's question seems like a mockery... Most likely, she didn't mean it that way.  I know that by looking at her eyes. The way she looks at me when I'm reading light novels for girls is not the sneering glare used by rotten normies. Instead... She looks like she's envious of me who reads it.
So I have to answer this earnestly. (Andou)
 
「No.  I don��t think it's embarrassing at all. 」
「...」
 
I've said it clearly. (Andou)
 
「Why is it like that? 」
「For example――Asakura-san reads 『Hachinan Tensei』* right? Was that interesting? 」
「Y-yes.」
「Then, if a stranger said 『Hachinan Tensei is so lame-』, how would you feel? 」
「Beat them to death. 」
「...…」
 
Even though I asked 『How would you feel?』, she answered from the question of 『what will you do』. As expected of a gremlin. (Andou)
 
「Ahaha... But I'm also the same.」
「Eh.」
「If a stranger is laughing at my favorite light novel, I think I will go 『Don't fuck with meee! 』 I mean, those guys don't know how interesting that light novel is, right? I like light novels. Therefore, I think the authors who wrote light novels are 『Awesome』and I never thought reading it is 『Embarrassing』. 」
「...」
 
「After all, the one who knows how interesting that light novel is, is us who read it, so if we thought that it's 『Embarrassing』 then that means we're being rude to the author, right? So I'm reading light novels boldly. Resolutely conveying 『The light novels I'm reading are very interesting, you know! It's not something to be ashamed of! 』like that. 」
「... I see, you're right. 」
 
I wonder how embarrassing I must be. It's just like what Andou-kun said. Up until now, for the sake of protecting my own pride, I've been hiding that I like light novels.  As a result of prioritizing such a small pride, I never admitted to Andou-kun that I liked light novels. However, I chose to be ignorant of it and instead indulged in selfishness by thinking things like 『Why is he not noticing me? 』 or 『Talk to me! 』... (Asakura)
 
「Ah! Of course, this is only for my own self-satisfaction, it's not like I'm denying people who hides that they like light novels! After all, we have different circumstances, such as status and how much we attract people's attention... You see, because I'm a 『loner』, what people think about me isn't that important.」
「Andou-kun, it's fine. 」
「Eh...? 」
「I've decided.  I won't hide it anymore... I will confess my real feelings only with you. 」
「A, Asakura... san」
 
Right, I will say it clearly to Andou-kun that 『I like light novels.』 So I can be in the same position as him... Properly straighten up and confidently say 『I like light novels! 』
It's fine... I can say it. I've been practicing this line every night before sleeping because I'm sure I have to say it in the future... 『I really like light novels, as much as Andou-kun!』 Excellent. (Asakura)
 
「Andou-kun.」
「Ah, yes.」
 
A-alright! S-s-s-s-say it... 『I really like light novels, as much as Andou-kun!』『I  really like light novels, as much as Andou-kun!』『I really like light novels, as much as Andou-kun!』 (Asakura)
What is this! Suddenly it's turning into something dramatic, what will she say to me!? (Andou)
 
 
「I really like Andou-kun! 」
「...Eh?」
「...Nn?」
 
Huh, just now... What was that? (Asakura & Andou)
 

Zeke sits down and looks at the mess his Loonies made.

— Okay, i assume you both had something to do with this. But for now i want to just see what i got from the chests and packs they gave me on the city.

Zeke taps first on the Botany Upgrade Starter Chest and the three Epic Ability Chests. Fortunately, he checks that his energy doesn't deplete when doing so.

— So... I guess i should first reveal them. Right, took?

— I dunno. — Took says. 

So Zeke reveals one of the ability chests first, and when he does, it begins to jump in its place and cracking open. From it, trails of light emerge and five new items appear in the air. First, from a trail of green light, a card that reads:

ECO FRIENDLY 
JUICER ABILITY
25% Chance to produce double juice from a recycled card.

Another green trail shows another card that reads like this:

GRASSY ALLEGIANCE
TAMER ABILITY
5% chance to tame Grass element loonies if your level is greater than theirs. +1% chance based on the level difference on your favor.

Zeke quickly deduces from this card that his level may be 1. So it's useless for now, but may come handy later.

Now a trail of green suddenly becomes a blue light wich suddenly reveals another card:

GILDED SHOVEL
LANDLORD ABILITY
Active Ability
Cost: 25 NRG
Cooldown: 72 Hours.
50% NRG discount on shovel usage during the cooldown.

Zeke can see great potential in this card, tough he knows he should be careful, specially because he doesn't know whether getting too much terrain too fast may be troublesome or not.

Now a blue trail reveals yet another card.

QUICK DRAWER
FIGHTER ABILITY
When engaged in combat, you can draw 7 cards at no NRG cost.

And finally a purple trail reveals an item.
Landlord Ability Pack x 3
So, Zeke deduces that the difference between chests and packs is basically that chests can contain packs, so they may be even more valuable. That explains why people were given five packs but only one chest.

Zeke grabs the cards and saves them. Then he grabs the packs.

— Okay, that was awesome. — Anewbie comments.

— Yeah, I felt the same, and there's still more. — Zeke says, opening a pack. He expected to see yet another flashy spectacle, but they were preety normal card packs. Each contained three cards, so he got a total of nine Landlord Abilities, conveniently marked with coloured jewels to indicate their rarity and therefore their power.

He sorted them by that, surprised to see two purple jewels and an orange one. Again quick to assume that those were the rarest, he left them for the last and started with the green ones.

URBAN MASTERY
Grants a +10% boost to your stongest stat while you are near a structure you own (Stacks up to +50%)
ROAD RUNNER
Boosts your speed by +25% while you move in a road.
SAFE CONDUIT
Reduces 75% of any fall damage taken.
WORKING BARRIER
Prevents wild loonies from getting nearby you when you are nearby machines you own.

Nothing special it seems. Boosts for stats he doesn't really have that much of, and some security tools. After he reads them, he goes through the blue ones, there's only two of them.

THUNDER CATCHER
During thunderstorms, grants immunity to lightning. You will attract all nearby lightnings to you and get +20 NRG for each. (Can bypass your max NRG)
HASTY HEART
+ 2 to your base NRG Regeneration, Halves your NRG Regeneration period.

A few tools to manipulate energy consumption and recovery. As he remembers getting depleted of it, he realizes that this may be something usual between Landlord abilities. Then he reads the purple ones.

GREEN THUMB
Active Ability
Cost: 175 NRG
Choose one: Instantly grows and harvests all crops in a wide area. Or: Instantly spawns up to 50 loonies spread through a wide area.
LEADER CHARISMA
Loonies willing to join you will be instantly saved if they are wild and spawned in your territory.

This seems interesting, Leader Charisma could be great in the future, maybe even providing a reliable source of new loonies at no cost, if combines with some other cards. As long as said card exists.

Finally he reads the last, golden one.
DUNGEON DOMAIN
Active Ability
Cost: 500 NRG
Cooldown: 420 Hours
You can modify all dungeons in your terrain for free during the cooldown period of this Ability.

Dungeons? Well, it seems powerful. At 500 NRG it seems like it, specially because it's five times Zeke's maximum.
He then opens the other Ability chests. No packs this time, but he gets some interesting cards.  Seven green ones, two blues and a purple.
This time he read the purple first

COVALENT CONVERSION
JUICER AND ALCHEMIST ABILITY
Active Ability
Cost: 1 NRG per 5 uses.
Transforms a card into another card from the same rarity, category and expansion. At random.

Useful. Maybe he could convert the scrap he got to something else, or even abilities he doesn't use. Also it seems like some of this abilities are shared by two classes, curious. Zeke then checks the blue cards. 

FLUTTERY FLUTE
MUSICIAN ABILITY
5% chance for Wild Sound element loonies to will to join you if they like your music.

INVERT DISCOUNT
SHOPKEEPER ABILITY
ACTIVE ABILITY
Cost: 50 NRG
Cooldown: 24 HS.
Transforms 15% of the discounts you gave into earnings.

— Interesting! — Zeke says.
— What? — Took responds.
— This ability breaks some basic principles of logic, economics and thermodynamics.
— Do you know that most things you have seen in the last day do that, too. Right?
Zeke didn't want to admit it, but the bird had a point. Zeke had been accepting way weirder stuff without questioning, he had even been thinking about the juicing machine as if it were a normal thing.
Thinking about that, he forgets to read the rest of the cards and saves them.

Zeke awakes suddenly, just to see that the world he knew is nowhere to be seen. But then he discovers that he had became the landlord of a critter filled sky island, in a world where everything works with playing cards. Maybe being summoned here was the best thing that could have happened to him.

Chapter 4- The New Family Leader
.
.
.
"Hmm, hmm, this is interesting indeed." Mused Zen as he fills his head with new knowledge.
It's been a few hours since he was reading in the library, and for now, he mainly reads the history of this world.
Why?
Because, History contains many important and essential information that he needs to actually understand this world.
The Culture.
The Previous Rulers of the Kingdom.
And many more.
And History holds all of those.
[ Initializing begins in...3...2...1...]
Suddenly, a transparent screen appeared before his eyes and a mechanical voice whispered inside his head.
"...hmm?.." Zen's full attention was now changed from learning into the sudden appearance of the sound and the transparent screen.
"Is this what I think?" 
Zen remembered about the light novels he had read from his past life.
Yes.
Zen also reads light novels but mostly sci-fi genre.
Well, he only reads them for spending time but mostly learning new things.
[Preparation...Finished]
[Showing the Status...]
After a few minutes, from toolbar had finished it's so-called preparation.
Toot!
"Oh." Looking at the new characters on the transparent screen, Zen felt intrigued and a little happy at the same time, but mostly he was curious on how this so-called system works.
[Status: Zen Freind 
Magic Force: Rank 5
Physical Force: Rank 5
Innate Abilities: Loved by Fairies ( Including      the blessings from them) (Legendary), Danger Instinct (Rare), Clairvoyance (Rare), Hormones Charm (Uncommon)
Summons: None for the moment
Summon Tickets: 3 Basic Tickets, 2 Intermediate Tickets, 1 Advance Ticket]
"So, in other words my abilities were mainly depend on the spirits?"
Looking at his so-called status, which he got knowledge about it from the books he read.
Zen felt a little amused and a little troubled.
Why?
Because, if his innate ability "Loved by the Fairies" suddenly disappear... then his overall strength would dramatically decrease.
It could be said that his power would plummet from 100 percent into .1 percent.
(A/N: It would be tiring to write all of the blessings he got but you can read it in the info chap.)
Regeneration.
Fire Blessing.
Water Blessing.
Rebirth.
And many more blessings Zen has that he received from the Fairies and it would be really troubling if they suddenly disappeared.
"However, with my obviously summoning system, the worry of my blessings suddenly disappearing had drastically lessened."
Well, just looking at the words of "Summons" and "Summon Tickets" anyone could figure that the system is a type of summoning.
Only idiots would not figure it out.
Closing his eyes, Zen went into full mode concentration. with a tap of his finger, a wave of energy flowed out.
Poosh!
Like a radar, it scanned the surroundings.
After a few minutes, Zen slowly opened his eyes as a small smile appeared in his face.
"This might not be bad at all." 
Even though he got the memories and experiences of using Magic, Zen still felt that it was very new to him.
Every time he used Magic, he felt amazing, euphoria, Zen deeply enjoys it.
"Now, that I've got no any suspicious presence within my vicinity, it's time to use these tickets."

One day while waiting at a bus stop everything seemed to stop and everything got quite all except for one slight screech in the distance. Everything was going gray and the screech was slowly getting louder. The gray is getting darker and darker. Untill everything was dark, all he could hear was the loud high pitched screeching noice. Then out of no where it stopped... The light was slowly fading back, but one thing was different. One thing ... It was a giant red train in front of him. He looked around and saw no one no person or living thing. All that was heard was the whistling of the wind and the trees leafs slapping together. The door opened and on the step of the train sat a ticket a red ticket. However, there was one other thing that can not be heard not felt or seen it was the urge to go, go inside a see. See what is in this mysterious red train and why it urges him so. Why does it invite him in as if an old friend is asking"want to come explore with me" and why are his feet walking in. He picks up the ticket and it reads "come one, come you, come the chosen, not the special, yet ... special, come and see the wonders with me, wander with the wonderer and explore the unexplored." He turns the ticket over and it says " name-Alex age- 19 birthday- January 1" he realizes that that is his information. There's one hole punched in this ticket in the spot that reads "one way" as if ... as if it he were destined to never see home again. But for some reason he knew he had to get on that train like it needed him. So he stepped inside the giant red train to which the doors closed. To his right he saw a sliding door. He walk towards it to see if he could look through the window but no luck the window is fogged over. The only thing to do is open it. He opens the door to suddenly see a blinding light he feels a hand on his back and stagers in. The blinding light preventing his sight causing him to cover his eye then suddenly the light goes away in a blink. He removes his arms and sees nothing like ever seen before. The sight before his eyes seem like something out of one of his dreams. What he saw when he opened that door was ...

There is one end destination and to get there in one piece the main character Alex needs to fight to keep his memories that will prove to be the key to everything.

"Oh, shit!"
Watching the tables and chairs disappearing one after another, Yuan Zhou’s heart wept in sorrow, his tears were like wide noodles, just like those characters in cartoons. To avoid the heartache, he decided to accept his reward first, to comfort his wounded heart.
He tapped on the mission reward and directly received it.
The words "God Tier Egg Fried Rice" turned into a book. While Yuan Zhou was seriously gazing at the book, a blast of light burst forth from it and wrapped around his head. It then entered his brain and disappeared. 
Egg Fried Rice is one of the most basic foods in the Chinese cuisine. Almost anyone with some culinary skill can prepare this dish. People who don’t possess culinary skills may also prepare this ordinary dish to stave of hunger.
Everybody has different methods for preparing this dish. Thus, the Egg Fried Rice evolved into several types, including Yangzhou Fried Rice, Sunset Fried Rice, Ham Fried Rice and Diced Chicken Fried rice, etc.
Several basic requirements were necessary in order to prepare this dish. The egg has to be fresh and tender while the texture of the rice should be neither too hard nor too soft. Furthermore, the scent of these two ingredients has to blend well. 
In the television series "Master Chef Zhang Dongguan", the Egg Fried Rice was described in a way such that every 3 to 5 grains of rice must be mixed well with the beaten egg. In the television series of "Cooking Master Boy", the Golden Fried Rice in the show could even give of a bright golden light.
The Egg Fried Rice recipe rewarded by the system definitely couldn’t give off the golden light, but, from the selection of rice grains, water, cooking temperature, to even how much rice is necessary for different size of eggs, all the information and skills needed had been provided.
Having understood that, Yuan Zhou felt that all the Egg Fried Rice he had cooked before could be compared to shoddy pig feed. No! Even worse than pig feed.
The mysterious light that entered his brain previously was his reward from the system. It contained all the culinary knowledge needed to create the God Tier Fried Rice, thus allowing Yuan Zhou to possess a deep understanding and mastery over the dish. The newly acquired knowledge and skills inherited by Yuan Zhou was equivalent to approximately 10 years of experience, it was just like an ordinary person receiving internal energy cultivated by his master for years, which greatly improved his Kung Fu. 
Opening his eyes, Yuan Zhou couldn’t resist the power welling inside him.
"Dong Dong Dong"
After walking down the stairway, Yuan Zhou prepared to enter the kitchen to test the God Tier Egg Fried Rice recipe in his head.
Nevertheless, the system showed the words, "Update in process, 8 hours more to completion." when he got to the end of the stairway.
......…
Having received such a blow from the system, all Yuan Zhou could do was try to calm down. He went back to his room and lay down on the bed. 
After 8 hours, it would be the next day. Even just by relying on his skill of preparing the Egg Fried Rice dish, he believed he could achieve the peak of his life without selling anything else. Thinking of that, he got a little excited. 
On the other hand, he was also considering the purchase of more materials and items. He started calculating the money left in his pocket and how to best make use of it.
After tossing and turning repeatedly like a fish being fried, Yuan Zhou fell asleep. As for the suspicious liquid at the corner of his mouth, there was no need for further explanation. 
After all, as a nice young man with an honest mind and ambitions, nothing could make him more excited than the red 100 RMB bills, besides, of course dreaming about the goddesses stored in his hard drive.
Yuan Zhou was anxious to check how well the small restaurant had been renovated, thus he rushed down to the 1st floor and flip the light switches after he dealing with his personal hygiene upstairs. 
"What!?"
Standing at the stairway, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help uttering an English word.
He walked to the center of the main hall hastily. 
The entire restaurant had been rebuilt into an open kitchen. Two flower racks were placed respectively on both sides of the door. Some unknown flowers were already growing vigorously on them. The light blue matched the green grass background fairly well. 
As for the table, it was a curved long table just like from Midnight Canteen, which surrounded the kitchen. At the inner side of the table were an azure stone countertop and a hand sink for handling various types of foodstuff. In front of the table, there were four comfortable high chairs, brown in color, the chairs blended harmoniously with the dinning surroundings. Another four chairs were placed respectively at each end of the curved long table. Eight chairs in total took up all positions available along the long table.
"Price List"
Several large conspicuous characters which were written in calligraphy could be found on the wall right in front of the kitchen. A wooden sign hung below the characters. 
Looking around at the whole restaurant, Yuan Zhou felt quite satisfied. It was much better than how he had randomly decorated before. It looked fresh and natural as well as simple, yet, tastefully decorated.
Yuan Zhou hadn’t discovered it previously due to his shock, but after looking closely, he realized this wasn’t even the same kitchen.
Formerly, at the corner was a flour barrel and next to the barrel was the gas furnace with double burners. Various flavorings were placed around the double burners. A sink was beside the gas furnace and situated near the stairway. Behind the sink was a shelf for bowls, on which various bowls were placed.
The whole kitchen appeared narrow and small. It was difficult even for two people to turn around in the kitchen.
However, the kitchen now appeared spacious and large after the rebuilding. The flour barrel was replaced in the same place by a huge water tank, which looked like the brown coarse porcelain water tank he used in countryside when he was little. The water inside was fairly clean and clear, with an unknown depth. 
The gas furnace next to the water tank had been swapped for a built-in one, which didn’t take up too much space and looked beautiful. Pots and pans were placed neatly above the furnace within reach, with the white porcelain fine and smooth. 
Beside the double burners, there was a row of small drawers with the names of various spices marked on it. Except for the salt and soy sauce taking up the whole box respectively, other boxes were all marked with two names. There were 22 boxes altogether, which meant 44 spices excluding salt and soy sauce. All were commonly used spices like aniseed and fennel, etc. 
"Pa Da"
Curiously, Yuan Zhou opened one of the drawers marked thyme and lily rhizomes, but found it to be empty.
"I must be thinking too much. These are all for storing the spices I obtain in the future. "He muttered to himself and continued his observation. 
Above the flavoring drawers were several slightly larger cabinets. They were all built-in as well so they didn’t look obtrusive at all. Every cabinet was 20cm wide and 15cm high, with a total of 12 cabinets.
Except for the cabinet at the edge which was marked RICE, the following ones weren’t marked with anything. Looking at the larger cabinets behind, only the first one was marked EGG. The contents marked on the box and the cabinet just corresponded to the first reward of the system. 
Thinking of that, Yuan Zhou opened the cabinet on the edge marked RICE subconsciously and found it was full of rice inside. 
Yuan Zhou was pleasantly surprised, he opened the other one marked EGG at once and as expected, it was full of eggs, all sorted out inside.
"System, are all of these also my rewards?" Yuan Zhou asked happily in his heart.
The system reads, "The system will provide all materials for the dishes that the host has learnt."
"I can also cook other dishes, for example, Shredded Potato." He asked with light in his eyes. 
The system reads, "Currently the host only masters one dish."
"Do you mean each dish must be as excellent as the God Tier Egg Fried Rice? Then could I buy the materials myself?" Yuan Zhou knocked on the white clean azure stone countertop.
…
The system reads, "All materials used by the host for creating dishes here have to be supplied by the system. No other materials can be brought into the kitchen."
"Ok, that’s fine. That’s really not too bad. I don’t even have to pay for the materials. Anyway, I am only preparing to sell Egg Fried Rice right now." Yuan Zhou showed a cunning smile on his face like a cat had stolen a fish.
The system reads, "The food Egg Fried Rice is priced at 188 RMB."
"Are you freaking serious?"
…


In a remote oriental country, there is a small and odd restaurant that has refused the three-star rating by the Michelin Guide several times. 
“The price is fairly expensive over there, 288RMB for a set meal of Egg Fried Rice and a bowl of soup. Ah, and an extra small plate of pickled vegetables as well. Even so, there are still a long line of people queuing up and waiting for a taste. Reservations are not accepted there, only waiting and queuing personally is allowed. 
“Numerous people fly there on their private planes just to queue up. Furthermore, parking bays and parking spots are not provided there. The service is terrible here. Customers have to clear the tableware themselves and wipe the table as well. For god’s sake, the boss is literally crazy.”
