Earth, where emptiness and the King exist.

"Yo-ho!"

"Kong, what do you want for lunch?"

The King, also known as Jiang Xiaofeng, closed his laptop and called out to the inner room.

"I want to eat egg rolls, do you know how to make them?"

A cold, clear voice came from the inner room.

"If you're not afraid of being poisoned, you can try it."

With that, Jiang Xiaofeng got up and walked towards the kitchen.

While operating the computer, Kong replied, "Then I'll wait."

"You clueless idiot, shut up."

"You dare call yourself Ying? Get your Geo Traveler leveled up before you speak! Get lost!"

He hurled a few insults at his teammates who were playing the Electro Archon weekly dungeon online, then exited online mode.

"Ying, you're definitely the best..."

Kong stared at her younger sister on the screen, muttering to herself.

Her beautiful long blonde hair had never been properly styled and was simply scattered messily over her shoulders.

"Kong, when are you getting paid? I haven't had any work lately, and I'm almost out of money."

Kong opened La Signora Zhou Ben's page again. "Couldn't you just ask that guy for something that allows you to teleport? Running back and forth like this, where are you going to find work?"

"Sizzle!"

Jiang Xiaofeng's voice came from the kitchen. "It wasn't a big deal, why bother him? Anyway, you still get paid, and I can take a break."

You're trembling with fear.

Kong skillfully folded a Starfell Sword to cover himself and said irritably, "Are you a miser or something? Every time you come back, you deposit most of your money in the bank. What are you worried about?"

"Fuck your mother, you idiot, how could you bring a Geo Traveler like that!"

Seeing his teammates start criticizing him, he just gave up.

Kong slowly took a sip of water. "Didn't I tell you before? We're not from this world, so the diseases of this world can't harm us."

"Look how much money you've saved! A single job can cost millions, but you only bring back a few hundred thousand. What are you saving it for? To find a wife?"

Jiang Xiaofeng cursed as he scooped out the egg rolls, "Go to hell with your wife."

"I'm only twenty years old. If I don't start saving money now while I'm still healthy, where will I get money when I'm over fifty and can't afford to travel anymore?"

Kong suddenly stopped talking.

Seeing that all three of his teammates were dead on the screen, he tapped his finger and started soloing the La Signora.

"Kong, the egg rolls are ready. Anything else?"

I'll be right out.

"Okay, then I'll fry some shrimp too."

Although the two didn't get along very well at first, they had been roommates for two years, and after a period of adjustment, they became familiar with each other.

However, since arriving in this world and being taken home by Jiang Xiaofeng, Kong has been taciturn until Jiang Xiaofeng sent Kong out to find a job, at which point Kong recovered a little.

There's no other reason than that she simply doesn't know what she's suited to do.

Because Kong is essentially an unregistered person in this world, appearing out of nowhere without an ID card or household registration, even if she wanted to go to school, no school would be willing to accept her.

In the end, Kong could only find Jiang Xiaofeng, looking dejected and embarrassed.

Seeing that Kong had become obedient, Jiang Xiaofeng used his connections to get Kong a new identity.

After all, Jiang Xiaofeng in this world has a soul that comes from the King. Although it is a peaceful era, Jiang Xiaofeng still cannot suppress his impulses, so he chooses to become a mercenary, killing whoever pays him.

Of course, he can do other things too.

Whether it's the huge amount of Mora left behind by Jiang Xiaofeng before he left, or the enhancements Jiang Xiaofeng made to his body, they are enough to make Jiang Xiaofeng stand out from the crowd in various industries.

Therefore, the issue of identity was easily resolved.

After spending two days at Jiang Xiaofeng's house, Kong figured out what she should do: become a primary school teacher.

After all, Kong has traveled to many worlds, and his fantastical stories are perfect for entertaining elementary school students.

Yes, it can also be used as a bedtime story for Jiang Xiaofeng.

The only downside was that when I received my ID card, the identity...

"All done? The shrimp's fried too."

I need to go to the restroom.

"..."

Jiang Xiaofeng sat in the chair and started eating by himself.

A bite of egg roll, a bite of shrimp, and some shredded meat sauce stir-fried by Jiang Xiaofeng, which can be rolled inside the egg roll, along with braised pork that's been simmering in a pan all morning...

"Hmm... not bad."

Jiang Xiaofeng closed his eyes comfortably.

"Well done."

Kong glanced at the dishes on the table and said calmly.

"Don't you even know who did this?"

Kong sat down without saying a word and started eating.

"Hey, you're a girl now, is it really okay to be this sloppy?"

Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Kong's eating habits, which were even wilder than his own, and said helplessly.

Even if you turned into a girl, there's no need to do this, is there?

"Your outlook on life should be similar to that of modern men, so why are you still unhappy?"

She swallowed the egg roll and said, "I told you long ago, the moment he threw me into this world, I knew my sister and I would never see each other again."

"I don't want to do anything more."

"If you're interested in me, just let me know."

Jiang Xiaofeng: "Don't mistake me for him."

"You're using his name, you two aren't the same person? You're kidding me."

Kong Leng smiled coldly as he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm, I think I've read about this behavior in a book."

"What was your name again...?"

"Yes, arrogant!"

Jiang Xiaofeng pointed at the air with his chopsticks. "If you're really so heartbroken, you should just jump off a building and kill yourself right now!"

Kong: "Did I explain it to you unclearly?"

Jiang Xiaofeng: "Hmm?"

"Neither of us will die."

"I can only take my own life if we still have all our strength left."

"Otherwise, I'll just be living like this, aimlessly drifting through life."

Jiang Xiaofeng: "... So, the money I've saved might not be enough for my future needs?"

"Grass!"

Jiang Xiaofeng slammed his chopsticks down.

null. "..."

Is this all you can see?

Jiang Xiaofeng tossed the chopsticks into the sink and picked up a new pair. "Since you're willing to talk so much, I'll tell you about my attitude towards life."

"Life is short, so seize the day, even though you're telling me now that life is long."

"But you can't let yourself suffer, right?"

"As long as it's in accordance with one's own desires, even if one kills someone, it's not a crime."

"After all, the more evil the thing, the easier it is to do, don't you think?"

Sora: "You're absolutely right... but I'll never see my sister again..."

Jiang Xiaofeng: "Don't you think about the game you play, Genshin Impact? Do you really think Jiang Xiaofeng would take action to kill Luminosity so early?"

Empty: "Huh?"

After Jiang Xiaofeng finished cleaning up the kitchen, he saw Kong sitting on the sofa, hugging his knees and staring blankly for who knows how long. He tossed an orange to Kong, who caught it.

"New Year's Day is just a few days away, how about we go on a trip up north?"

"We're currently in the north..."

"I'm talking about the north, let's go see what ice lanterns are."

"Do as you please."

Jiang Xiaofeng was peeling two oranges in the kitchen.

Kong suddenly shouted, "I want noodles for breakfast tomorrow!"

"I'll make it myself then; I don't eat breakfast."

Empty: "You'll ruin yourself sooner or later!"

Jiang Xiaofeng: Middle finger.
