Time was synchronized.

When Lu Chuan returned to his rental house, the clouds were tinged with sunset hues.

Subconsciously, Lu Chuan glanced at his left wrist. The watch was still on his wrist; it was real. Everything that had happened wasn’t a dream.

With a thought, a thick gold chain that weighed about a hundred grams appeared in his palm.

“Awesome.”

Lu Chuan was full of energy.

Uncle Zombie was still sitting upright in the chair. Ever since Lu Chuan left, he had barely moved, sitting up straight the entire day.

He didn’t seem to have human needs.

“I’m happy today, but the experiment will continue. You’ll have to watch me eat.” Lu Chuan laughed. He grabbed his wallet and mobile phone and walked out.

No matter how happy he was, Lu Chuan would continue the experiment on Uncle Zombie’s appetite by starving him for three to five days.

Lu Chuan made a lot of money in the apocalypse and hadn’t eaten the entire day. He was starving.

Lu Chuan was usually stingy and couldn’t bear to have expensive meals; he would often just have a bowl of instant noodles.

Lu Chuan always heard that there was a famous night market stall in the area. It was relatively affordable and loved by wealthy people. Lu Chuan was shy about his meager funds and had never been there before.

……

“Aha, don’t worry, everyone, we’ll be there soon.”

“This night market stall is famous in our city. It has affordable pricing, superb cuisine, and has an interesting name, Popular Meal for the Rich. What does that mean?”

“It means that it’s not just ordinary citizens but also tycoons who patronize this area. They disregard their identity to enjoy the delicacies served up here.”

“Soon, we’ll see these low-profile tycoons.”

On the street, a young and fashionable female streamer held onto her phone with a selfie stick as she walked, doing a live broadcast.

Looking carefully, you would be amazed by her beauty.

The word “stunning” shouldn’t be used; “girl next door” was a better description.

She had smooth hands, fair skin, and a neat row of white teeth… With her plain dress, white flower collared shirt, a pair of jeans, and a cute black backpack, she was like a breath of fresh air.

There was a bunch of rabbit tail hair on her black bag. It swayed around as she walked, full of vitality.

As compared to the other charming but pretentious female presenters, she was definitely a clear-hearted streamer. She was like a white lotus in the mud. Besides, she always made broadcasts about good food and beautiful scenery; or a touching story about humanity.

The content was niche, but with her girl-next-door temperament, and the accurate and objective remarks about food, she drew many fans.

She had 50,000 fans on the Fei Niao live broadcast platform.

“Shishi, is it as good as you said?”

“666, I have heard of this night market stall, but haven’t been there yet. Now, Shishi is finally coming out to solve the mystery for me.”

“Don’t say anything, send a flying fish (reward item) first and wait to see what a tycoon’s civilian meal looks like.”

“I came to see the tycoons.”

The live broadcast room became lively as soon as Shishi began to stream.

In just ten minutes, the number of online viewers reached 16,000. This number was considered a small success to any streamer.

In the live broadcast, Shi Ruoyu went by the name Shishi.

“Shi” is a rare first name.

With a sweet smile, Shi Ruoyu said, “This is a gourmet live show, but I will satisfy your wishes to watch the tycoons later. I just hope you won’t be shocked and get insomnia tonight.

“All right, can you see up ahead? We’ve arrived at our destination.”

People were naturally eager about famous places.

When Shi Ruoyu arrived, the large area was almost filled with people.

Shi Ruoyu was not in a hurry, and she continued to speak in her sweet voice. “It seems like there aren’t many vacancies, but let’s not worry. We can take a look at the vehicles parked next to us and experience a tycoon’s ordinary meal.”

She pointed the camera at the parking place. There were dozens of cars of various brands parked here, from small cars to SUVs to MPVs.

“666, I see a Qiuming Mountain God of War level, Wuling Hongguang.”

“Audi A6L.”

“BMW 5 Series.”

“Just no sports car.”

“What is the symbol of the rich? Sports car. Shishi, we want to see tycoons.”

In the live broadcast room, everyone was booing.

Shi Ruoyu had a touch of embarrassment on her face. There were a lot of cars here—electric cars, Wuling Hongguang, BMW 5 Series, and other high-end cars. It showed that the pricing here was indeed affordable, but far from the level of the tycoons she had mentioned.

A tycoon was definitely wealthy, and they had to say this: Aren’t tycoons famous for their expensive phones and sports cars?

But here, driving a BMW 5 Series was still somewhat different from a tycoon.

There weren’t any real luxury cars either. If they came in a 7-series S-class, she could call them the tycoons she had spoken about previously.

“I was talking about low-profile tycoons. Perhaps the one who drives the Wuling Hongguang is actually a tycoon?”

Shi Ruoyu flashed a lovely smile and stuck out her tongue. With her big eyes, she managed to throw many people off with her cuteness. Naturally, no one would dispute her excuse.

Seeing that there weren’t any real luxury cars, Shi Ruoyu said sternly, “Let’s return to the main topic, we’re here to taste the food.”

With that, she entered a store.

It was packed and at this hour, there were barely any empty seats.

It was a tricky situation. Shi Ruoyu had rushed over and given her viewers a preview. But now, there weren’t any seats. Wasn’t it akin to backing out on a promise?

The strange thing about the stall was that they didn’t allow takeout.

She didn’t have a choice. Since it was such a famous place, she would have to abide by the rules if she wanted to eat here.

Looking around, the place was filled with people. The aroma from the food was thick in the air and Shi Ruoyu, as a little glutton, swallowed as she enviously watched the patrons feasting.

The viewers in the live broadcast room laughed when they saw Shishi’s expression and the comments came one after another.

Occasionally, there would be some rewards.

“Well, everyone, stay calm, I will definitely find a place. For the sake of our viewers, I’ve decided to sacrifice my beauty and get the boss here to arrange me a seat.”

Shi Ruoyu clenched her fist and raised it in front of the camera.

Naturally, there was another wave of 666.

“Aha, as I’ve said, I’m not too unlucky? Do you see that? There are only two people at that table. I can share with them.”

Shi Ruoyu’s eyes lit up. She found Lu Chuan and Uncle Zombie in the corner, just the two of them occupying a table, and walked over without hesitation.

Every other table was full of people.

The only empty seat was at Lu Chuan and Uncle Zombie’s table.

It was because of Uncle Zombie’s overwhelming aura. He was sitting upright, his face stiff as if someone owed him a million yuan, and his hollow eyes exuded a chill that kept others away.

“Hello, can I sit here?” Shi Ruoyu stood beside Lu Chuan and spoke timidly. For the sake of the live broadcast, she had to overcome Uncle Zombie’s stern aura and muster up the courage to ask.

Lu Chuan, who was eating, raised his head. He was momentarily taken aback by the person that entered his sight, but he quickly calmed down and smiled. “Yes, it’s empty anyway.”

Shi Ruoyu was beautiful. Her untainted face and smile felt like a spring breeze, and her eyes were bursting with youthful vitality. However, at first glance, Lu Chuan regarded her as someone from another world. With his status, he was thinking too much.

Since he didn’t have an ulterior motive, naturally he treated it as a casual encounter.

Uncle Zombie could only watch Lu Chuan eat, but there wasn’t any change to his expression, as if no delicacy in the world could affect him. Lu Chuan admired his willpower.

Lu Chuan’s indifference startled Shi Ruoyu. She knew of her charm, so why did he just give her a fleeting glance? There wasn’t any shock or surprise, as though he was looking at an ordinary person.

“This young man must be blind. Isn’t he moved by our Master Shishi’s arrival?”

“Haha, Shishi’s charm isn’t enough.”

“Hurry, everyone, let’s give Shishi’s charm a boost.”

“I bet he’s a single dog.”

“He deserves to be a single dog.”

In the live broadcast room, there was another wave of contempt for Lu Chuan. Their Shishi was young and beautiful, but he seemed to be calm and indifferent, not giving her any attention.

“All right, I finally have a seat. Soon, I’ll be able to taste the delicious food I have been salivating over. Later, I will be discussing these delicious foods with you in detail.”

After sitting down, Shi Ruoyu immediately reported to the viewers in the live broadcast room.

Since they hadn’t entered the main section of the live broadcast, the viewers had placed their attention on Lu Chuan who was beside Shishi.

In their opinion, Uncle Zombie was rigid and cold. They weren’t going to discuss him.

But Lu Chuan didn’t pay their Shishi any attention just now. How could they not be angered?

“I’m sure he must be acting filthy in front of Shishi.”

“Yes, how dare he try to prey on our Shishi?”

“Look at his clothes, they are definitely from the roadside stores. His entire outfit is probably worth less than a hundred yuan.”

“He probably doesn’t dare to lift his head in front of Shishi.”

Shi Ruoyu definitely saw the endless stream of comments in the live broadcast room, but she didn’t comment. She was not a snob. There was good in being ordinary and the wealthy had their troubles.

Shi Ruoyu glanced at Lu Chuan secretly. As a male, his appearance was around 80 points, clean and good-looking.

“Okay, stop it.” Shi Ruoyu couldn’t help but say something for fear that he would see the comments in the live broadcast room.

At that moment, in the live broadcast room, there were many comments about Shishi being a kind person.

At the same time, Lu Chuan raised his hand and fiddled with the bangs on his sweaty forehead. Under the lights, there was a flicker of gold.

“Wait.” In the live broadcast room, top-league “Sky” who was the first on the reward list had been silent the entire time, but then suddenly typed this word. With the authority of the top league, as soon as he spoke, the other comments would automatically give way, showing only his words.

The viewers paused.

Sky said, “Haven’t you guys been waiting to see a tycoon? Look at that young man’s wrist.”

With just one sentence, all the viewers gazed at Lu Chuan’s wrist through the camera.
