The Return of the Condor Heroes - Chapter 36 – Grand birthday celebration, Part 7

Like every (Isekai) protagonist, I got reincarnated after getting hit by a hyper-speed truck.

That was an empty and dark life anyway, so I was already looking forward to a decent, unknown afterlife.

But... the world had a unique thing in mind.

In this new world, I had parents, amazing ones at that.

My father was a talented mage, and my lovely mother was a sharp and cunning merchant.

Ignoring all of my weirdness, they loved me unconditionally.

This was the life that anyone would love.

Eating and cooking delicious food, practicing archery and magic, and playing with my parents.

Everything was wonderful until... those demons separated us and it left me in a ferocious forbidden forest, just to be eaten alive by beasts.

But dying wasn't even a question.

I will go back… to them.

“Darling, I want…”

Fu Yu awoke from a big dream, feeling like the heavens stuffed his mouth with a pie.Everything familiar suddenly became virtual.The work kitchen, the tools he used, the colleagues he cooperated with, and the customers he faced.Everyone and everything has become walking NPCs and auxiliary tools.Daily life and work have turned into main quests that need to be completed and key clues for advancement.A customer ordered a dish of loose sautéed meat slices.Fu Yu took out a piece of fresh tenderloin: [Pork: Freshness: 90%]Held an egg in one hand: [Egg: Freshness: 85%]Heated oil in the pot, prepared starch, and got ready onions, ginger, and garlic.First frying, then stir-frying; the meat is cooked and taken out of the pot, plated and served to the customer: [Ding! Task of one portion of loose sautéed meat slices completed. Reward received: Cooking Experience +10, RMB +100, one oil-draining spatula!]As a chef constantly fed by the heavens, as long as he cooks, he levels up!

In the most cliched fashion, a giant truck-kun smashed into my World, killing everyone with it.

And in the next most cliched event, I was given a second chance in life by the gods to live another life in a world of swords, magic and dragons! It’s literally a dream come true!

Be a hero? Who has the time?! Conquer the world? Like hell I’ll do something so troublesome! Diving into dungeons, exploring ancient ruins and meeting all the weirdos of the world? Sign me right up!!

I’m only interested in travelling the world to find the most interesting materials I can use to write the best story I can! I’ll show you my creativity and dazzle this new world with the stories I’ll write!

I’ll fight with dragons, swim with krakens, wrestle giants, eat all the cakes and bed the beauties! Time to live this life however I want!

Eh?

A psycho is running around the world saying that they are the hero who will slay the demon lord? Why is there such a crazy person?

There’s someone out there threatening the world with nukes? How did they even find out how to make those?

Some crazy hobo is going into other people’s houses to smash pots to look for money? That guy really must be crazy.

What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?
