Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1146 - 552: Beggar (Part 10)

After listening to Wang Gen Sheng's story, Chen Huihong sighed with deep emotion, "Old Wang is also a pitiful person."

Luo Jun glanced at Chen Huihong, his eyes full of "why are you suddenly sighing about this?", but said nothing. Then he turned to Qin Huai, "Now that the nonsense is over, shouldn't you be checking An Youyou's memory?"

Luo Jun wasn't interested in Wang Gen Sheng's memory.

Compared to "Reborn as an Accountant in the 60s," Luo Jun would rather hear "Reborn as a Beggar in the 30s."

"By the way, you haven't mentioned what the new main quest is," Luo Jun asked another question.

This question went straight to the point.

Qin Huai showed a helpless expression and said, "There is no new main quest."

"What?" Everyone spoke in unison, each wearing a look of surprise.

"What do you mean there's no main quest?" Shi Dadan got anxious, "How could there be no main quest?"

"I don't know either." Qin Huai stated that he's just a normal system novel protagonist, not the system itself, and he had no control over the tasks it issued. "The main quest was completed so suddenly yesterday, and my focus was all on the family photo dumplings managing to score Level A+. It wasn't until I got back that I realized the game system hadn't issued a new main quest."

"At first, I thought it was because the tasks were being completed too frequently yesterday, and the game system was delayed in issuing new tasks, so I thought it would be okay by today."

"Today, I've been waiting in the Yunzhong Restaurant all day and even purposely called An Youyou over to make small talk while I taught her how to mix dumpling fillings for three hours."

"An Youyou even talked about how she plans to spend this month's and next month's salaries, what she plans to buy when she goes home for the New Year, and how much of a red envelope she'll prepare for her grandma. Yet, nothing about the main quest came up."

"Now I'm not sure what's going on if I didn't meet the conditions to trigger the main quest, or if there's a bug and the main quest didn't pop up."

Qin Huai leaned more towards the former. Although the game system seemed crudely made and unfinished, with no customer service, complaint features, or feedback options, there hadn't been any noticeable bugs so far.

Previously, as soon as Qin Huai activated the game system, there would be a main quest. As soon as he completed one, the next main quest would pop up immediately. He had already grown accustomed to main quests being automatically issued, unlike side quests that required an opportunity to trigger.

Now that the main quest had stopped, Qin Huai felt very uncomfortable.

What good is a system novel protagonist if the main quest doesn't show up? Qin Huai expressed that he hadn't inherited Luo Jun's legacy to reach the peak of his life yet and didn't want to be dethroned from the protagonist's seat so soon.

Qin Huai's words left everyone silent. Even the spirit creatures present couldn't understand why the game system hadn't issued a main quest when Qin Huai couldn't figure it out.

Gong Liang boldly speculated, "Could the task be delayed and arrive in a few days?"

Shi Dadan, lost in his own world, muttered to himself, "How could there be no main quest? How could this happen?"

Chen Huihong took out his phone and started searching: Main quest not appearing for a system novel protagonist in a novel, what's usually the scenario, and how will the author develop the plot?

Luo Jun thought this group was overreacting, as if lacking a task was more serious than he being about to die.

Luo Jun calmly took a sip of tea and asked, "Watching dream or not?"

"If not, leave my house; I want to watch TV now."

"Watch, watch, watch," Qin Huai said hastily, opening the game panel and locating [A Segment of An Youyou's Dream].

Click yes.

[Loading dream——]

Before entering the dream, Qin Huai heard Chen Huihong asking, "Going to brew some tea, what do you guys want to drink?"

Qin Huai wanted to say he wanted black tea, but before he could say 'want,' he had already entered the dream.

This time, when Qin Huai entered the dream, An Youyou was having an argument with someone.

Yes, an argument.

An Youyou was clearly in her outfit from just getting off work, wearing tattered clothes, with mud still clinging to her face not entirely washed off. Her hands were clean, but her hair was still a mess. Judging by the weather, it seemed to be summer, and it was still bright, nearing dusk.

An Youyou still looked like a big kid as before, with no growth in height, standing in the courtyard with a posture that seemed learned from somewhere, like a bodyguard standing next to a young master to show off imposing stature. She was facing a woman on the opposite side, unleashing an all-out verbal assault.

"I'm a stinking beggar, a wretched guy, you think you're the one who's ****, you *** , you ** , ****, **!"

Few words in a sentence were suitable for broadcast.

"****!"

"So what if I beg for food? Every penny I beg for is one I earn from kowtowing. Unlike you, trying to renege on payment after others have worked. Dare you try shirking payment, huh? Do you think my fist the size of a sandbag is just for decoration? Do you know how grandpa got his name and territory in the city? Do you know how many little brothers I have? Do you know what our family Thirteen does?"

"You think I'm afraid of you? You don't even have a gun, why would I be afraid of you?"

"I'm telling you, better pay up quickly and scram, you ****, pay up, heard?!"

Under An Youyou's magical and physical threats, the woman, who initially looked fierce, big and strong, with quite decent clothing suggesting relative wealth, unwillingly counted a few copper coins, tossed them on the ground, and stomped off holding her clothes, seething with anger.

Not forgetting to spout a parting shot before leaving.

"Stinking beggars think they can charge for clothes washed like this. Good luck getting jobs again. Deserved to starve, hope you all starve!"
