Chapter 9 – Teleportation Failure

After talking to his brother on the phone, Cheng Zhou fell asleep in a complicated mood.

The next morning, Cheng Zhou rode the tricycle and went to the other world. Many villagers came out to greet him.

Previously, the villagers were worried that Cheng Zhou would oppress the villagers to pay taxes. They were very afraid of him. After so many days of getting along, the villagers had a much better impression of Cheng Zhou.

This year’s harvest in Black Wheat Village is not good. Five pineapple buns are enough for a family of three to eat two meals. Cheng Zhou provided the job of acquiring seafood, which greatly alleviated the food shortage in the village.

Looking at the things Cheng Zhou took out, the villagers felt that Cheng Zhou should not be eyeing the things in their village, so they relaxed a lot.

In fact, many people in the village have learned from Cheng Zhou to eat seafood. However, the seasoning of the people in the village is not so sufficient, and the taste of the seafood is not as good as that of Cheng Zhou.

As the days passed, Cheng Zhou’s seafood business became smoother and smoother, and many seafood shop owners became Cheng Zhou’s regular customers.

In the beginning, it took Cheng Zhou more than half a day to sell out ten pails of seafood, and sometimes the price was discounted, but now as soon as Cheng Zhou’s seafood was taken out, it would be sold out.

Cheng Zhou went to Black Wheat Village to buy goods as usual. In just ten days, Cheng Zhou has adapted to his ability.

Everything is in readiness. On the way back, Cheng Zhou unexpectedly finds that he can’t teleport.

Cheng Zhou immediately panicked when he realized that teleportation cannot work.

Cheng Zhou only wants to come to the other world to do business, but he doesn’t intend to live in this world. Thinking that he will be trapped in the other world from now onwards, Cheng Zhou feels everything is bleak.

After several failed attempts to leave, Cheng Zhou abandoned the few pails of seafood and returned to the village.

The people in the village were puzzled when they saw that Cheng Zhou had gone and then returned.

According to Cheng Zhou’s requirements, several villagers took back several pails of seafood and poured them into the sea to release them.

Cheng Zhou sat on the beach and looked at the sea deep in thought. The village head carefully asked Cheng Zhou a few questions. Cheng Zhou didn’t explain too much.

Cheng Zhou was in a depressed mood. All the villagers noticed and many villagers who helped Cheng Zhou collect seafood couldn’t help talking.

“What’s the matter with Lord Cheng Zhou?! Why did he suddenly decide to pour away the seafood that was exchanged with the fancy buns and seasonings.”

“Who knows? It’s said that aristocrats are like this. They do things on their whim.”

“But what is the reason? Collecting it and then pouring it back out.”

“Maybe he’s got too much money on hand and doesn’t know how to spend it, or maybe he’s bored with nothing better to do?”

“Cheng Zhou is not like those idle nobles. I’m afraid something is wrong.”

“Will you still be accepting seafood after this?!” Recently, several villagers who helped Cheng Zhou catch the seafood have improved their livelihood a lot. They are a little worried when they thought that Cheng Zhou may not accept seafood in the future.

“……”

Night soon fell. After deliberation, Cheng Zhou decided to make do with it by staying at Maine’s home for the night.

Maine’s parents had an accident previously and Maine is living alone in a mud house.

The village head’s house’s condition is much better. The village head also invited Cheng Zhou to live there. However, Cheng Zhou is worried that when he is asleep, the village head might do something to him. He couldn’t trust the village head fully.

Little Lucky seemed to feel Cheng Zhou’s worry, transformed into a four-leaf clover, and keeps guard at the head of Cheng Zhou’s bed.

When Cheng Zhou was looking for a job, he slept in a basement without sunshine in a cheap budget hotel with poor sound insulation. Sleeping on a cool straw mat and watching cockroaches crawl through from time to time makes Cheng Zhou feel a cold chill in his heart.

Everything is beyond comparison! Cheng Zhou suddenly realized that the basement was actually pretty good.

No pain, no gain. Cheng Zhou kept reciting the words silently and hypnotized himself. Under the protection of Little Lucky, Cheng Zhou spent his first night in the other world with some difficulty.

On this night in the other world, Cheng Zhou felt his back was sore while sleeping. Cheng Zhou regretted it deeply. If he knew that it would be like this, he should have brought bedding over before this.

The villagers of Black Wheat Village seem to have noticed Cheng Zhou’s frustration, but the villagers don’t dare to enquire.

The next day, the villagers came to ask whether he still needed seafood. Cheng Zhou shook his head and declined.

The villagers felt some regret, but they were not too disappointed.

Recently, most of the villagers have gone to the sea for catching, which has caused a sharp decline in all kinds of various seafood on the beach.

It used to be easy to gather a pail of seafood, but after a few days of the frantic hunt, there is a lot less seafood on the beach than before.
