Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1 Inheriting the Legacy

In the clean and minimalist two-bedroom apartment, one item after another, symbolizing the move to a new home, was brought into the living room. After unloading the last refrigerator, the movers cautiously wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"Young man, you've worked hard. Have a glass of water." The female owner doing the inventory handed over a glass of water.

The movers thanked repeatedly, took the water and drank it up, secretly observing this affluent family.

The female owner was slender, shrewd, and capable; the male owner was slightly chubby and quite sturdy; the son was fair-skinned and gentle; the daughter had a round face and was adorably smiling.

What a happy family.

Not only a standard family but also low-key, living in a house with an average price of six figures per square meter, yet wearing clothes that weren't branded, looking like those bought online for 39.9 just like their own.

But these days, rich people keep a low profile. Perhaps these seemingly ordinary clothes are custom pieces from some high-end brand, with a piece of clothing costing more than a year of their work.

So enviable!

After settling the bill, the mover left with a face full of envy.

After the mover left, the shrewd and capable homeowner Zhao Rong grabbed her uncontrollable trembling right hand with her left, her voice trembling just like her hands. Coming to her senses, she quickly raised her head and asked her son, "Huaihuai, this house...16,000 per square meter, over 90 square meters, over ten million...is it really yours?"

The sturdy male owner Qin Congwen rubbed his old back, which had seized last year, and questioned, "And that restaurant, you really took over without paying?"

The sweetly smiling daughter Qin Luo looked at her phone and exclaimed, "Cleaning for 100 yuan an hour?! Bro, let me clean for you, I'll only charge 50!"

The gentle son Qin Huai: "..."

Qin Huai glanced at the exclamation mark in the upper left corner of his field of view and nodded affirmatively, "Dad, Mom, that's right. Your son, I, inherited a fortune."

.

It all started a month ago.

Our protagonist Qin Huai, who has a system, was originally a mundane person from an orphanage, never activating the system. At 10 years old, he was adopted by the Qin family, who had operated a breakfast shop opposite the orphanage for years without children. Then the ordinary parents had an ordinary pregnancy and gave birth to an ordinary younger sister. After experiencing an ordinary school life, Qin Huai successfully entered an ordinary university, completed his college life uneventfully, and returned to his hometown to work the grueling breakfast shop life from 5 AM to 9 PM. Then, an ordinary lawyer came to his door.

According to the lawyer, Qin Huai's biological parents were a pair of rags-to-riches inspirational figures who founded a business empire. After years of searching, they finally found their long-lost child. Unfortunately, they encountered ill fate and treacherous people, and after experiencing a series of outrageous plots that even a commercial war drama couldn't portray, the company went bankrupt. The couple, distracted while driving, had a car accident and both passed away. They left Qin Huai an inheritance consisting only of a never-lived-in ordinary property in Yunzhong District of Shan City, a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment worth eight figures, and a community restaurant at the entrance to the district with a five-year contract already signed. The restaurant, fully furnished and ready to open, was also part of the inheritance.

In simple terms, two years after graduating from college, Qin Huai achieved—

Financial freedom!

"Bro, why did you inherit that community restaurant? Didn't you say that working in the breakfast business was the hardest, and once you had money, you would turn our breakfast shop into a snack shop?"

Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen thought the online hourly maid service was too expensive to justify doing it themselves. Not wanting Qin Huai and Qin Luo to stay cooped up in the house, they threw the siblings out to find something to do. The two could only go to the convenience store across the street to buy two drinks and enjoy the air conditioning.

"Well, it didn't cost me anything. The five-year contract has been signed, and the renovation costs of over six million have been settled. All channels are ready, even the manager is in place. How is this different from those novels you secretly read at night where the heroine gets a small shop to run once entering the post-apocalyptic world? Anyway, it's part of the inheritance, might as well take it." Qin Huai said.

Qin Luo threw Qin Huai a look that said, "You can fool Mom and Dad with this nonsense, but you can't fool your smart, clever sister," and drank her beverage without saying a word.

In fact, Qin Huai was indeed lying.

A community restaurant, sounding like a public welfare venture unrelated to making money, Qin Huai would never touch even if it were given away for free.

But this wasn't—

Because there's a system.

Qin Huai pointed at the exclamation mark in the upper left corner of his view.

The system issued so many tasks at once, Qin Huai felt he would feel guilty if he didn't stay for the rewards.

Faced with Qin Huai's strange behavior, Qin Luo wasn't surprised, scoffing and loudly complaining, "Bro, you still think I'm three years old? Do you really believe I'd fall for the red exclamation mark in the upper right corner of your view again, which, when clicked, would show the game loading? Your story wasn't even complete, which led me to brag to classmates in kindergarten that my brother has a system, and Grandma still remembers that. Why don't you just say that you decided to take over the community restaurant because the system issued a task when you stepped in?"

Qin Huai nodded seriously, "That's right, you've found out. I guess it's no use hiding it from you. Originally the system wasn't activated, but when I stepped into the Yunzhong Restaurant, it activated and even issued two main quests, asking me to return home to inherit the breakfast shop or stay here to take over the restaurant. Luoluo, you know me; I love challenges the most, so I'm staying to take over the restaurant."

Selling breakfast with a 5 AM wake-up call every day is really not a job for humans.

Qin Luo: ...

Qin Luo was so angry that she grabbed the untouched cold Coke beside Qin Huai and downed it in one go.

After Qin Luo finished drinking, Qin Huai advised considerately, "Drink less, it's almost meal time. Mom just sent me a message asking me to find an expensive restaurant to treat Ouyang and Sister Hong to a good meal. They've helped a lot these days, and if you drink so much now, how will you have room for dinner?"

A burp stuck in her throat, unable to come out or be suppressed, Qin Luo: ...
