Chapter 8

Because the procedures for inheritance still required a day or two of preparation, Sun Yang had time to sort out his affairs. On the first night he arrived in South Korea, Sun Yang had a sumptuous dinner at He Qiang's place.

He Qiang's wife was Korean, which was one of the advantages that helped him gain Korean citizenship. He Qiang had a daughter named He Rui, who was a year or two younger than Sun Yang. However, He Qiang sent her to China for her education, saying that no matter what, he couldn't let his child lose her roots in China. However, it was now the summer vacation in China, and He Rui was at home. She was a bit curious about Sun Yang. Of course, she knew Uncle Sun Yuanzheng. When she was little, she often went to Uncle Sun's restaurant to play, and Uncle Sun would often give her delicious treats. This was the first time she had met a relative of Uncle Sun.

The next day, He Qiang bought the necessary offerings and drove Sun Yang to the cemetery. Due to the influence of the cemetery's style, it was similar to those in other countries. Sun Yang and He Qiang came to a newly erected tombstone, placed the offerings, and saw a photo of his uncle on the tombstone. Looking at the face that resembled his father, Sun Yang felt a deep sorrow, and his eyes involuntarily turned red.

He Qiang also sighed deeply. When he and Sun Yuanzheng first came to South Korea to make their fortune, they thought that after all these years of hard work and achieving success, they should be enjoying life. But they never expected that his old partner would leave so suddenly, without any preparation. Fortunately, his old partner had a successor, and Sun Yang had come to South Korea. He Qiang silently said to the tombstone, "Old partner, rest assured. From now on, Sun Yang will be like my own nephew, and I will take good care of him."

After the memorial service, He Qiang took Sun Yang back. Next, they would handle the inheritance procedures. Since Sun Yang didn't speak Korean, He Qiang planned to put his business on hold for a couple of days to help Sun Yang with these matters.

He Qiang also suggested that Sun Yang enroll in a Korean language crash course. There were many such courses in Seoul, and they were very professional. In South Korea, fraud was subject to public criticism, making these courses much more formal compared to the half-baked foreign language training programs in China.

The process of handling the inheritance was not complicated. Sun Yang had already prepared all the necessary documents to prove his identity in China, and the procedures in South Korea were also well-prepared, so everything went smoothly. However, the only thing that annoyed Sun Yang was the exorbitant inheritance tax in South Korea. This made him realize how good things were in China. In capitalist countries, inheritance tax was a significant amount, and many wealthy people set up foundations to avoid it.

Another matter Sun Yang had to handle was the compensation from the perpetrator. Perhaps to appease Sun Yang, the money was given quickly without any delay. Seeing a large sum of money suddenly appear in his account, Sun Yang didn't know what to say, but he wouldn't forget the hatred so easily. Although he was currently powerless, with the Life Experience System, he wouldn't remain ordinary forever.

Calculating the time, it was almost a month. He was about to start his first life experience. The thought of it made him a bit excited. Sun Yang had already finished all the necessary tasks. Since he needed to learn Korean and hadn't decided whether to continue running the restaurant, the Chinese restaurant had been closed. Sun Yang was also busy setting up his small apartment. Since the virtual world simulated various movies and novels, the first thing Sun Yang did was buy a computer. In South Korea, of course, he bought a Samsung, which came with a discount. This was one of the reasons why Samsung dominated the Korean market.

"Host, the system has been restored, and the first virtual world has been generated."

Just as Sun Yang was carefully decorating his small apartment, he suddenly heard the voice of Zero in his mind. The voice, which had been silent for a month, startled him.

"Finally, I thought you were gone. What is the first world I will experience?"

Sun Yang breathed a sigh of relief after realizing what was happening. If it weren't for the real rebirth, he would have thought Zero was just a hallucination.

"Host, this system is connected to the host. As long as the host is alive, this system will always exist. The first virtual world drawn for the host is 'The God of Cookery.' Please find a safe place to prepare. The experience can begin within ten minutes."

Zero answered Sun Yang's teasing with a serious tone, leaving Sun Yang feeling a bit depressed.

"You really are taking care of me. The first virtual world is 'The God of Cookery.' You're really determined to make me a chef."

Sun Yang said with a bitter smile. He, of course, knew what 'The God of Cookery' was. This was a comedy film from the late 20th century, starring Hong Kong comedian Stephen Chow. The movie was filled with absurdity and various oddities. In the film, the status of a chef was highly elevated, and the various dishes were given a magical aura. The dishes reviewed at the beginning of the film were all top-notch, and the two dishes in the final showdown were given special meanings. Another thing that made Sun Yang want to comment was the Shaolin Temple in the movie. When the film was made, Hong Kong was about to return to China, and the filmmakers didn't seem to care about basic facts, placing the Shaolin Temple in Hunan Province and implying that it was a place to learn cooking. These were all things that left Sun Yang speechless. However, since Zero had arranged this virtual world, he had no choice but to accept it. Learning to cook in 'The God of Cookery' might not be bad, especially since he might inherit his uncle's Chinese restaurant.

Since Zero told him to find a safe place, Sun Yang went directly to his bedroom. He had no enemies at the moment, so he didn't need to worry about safety.

In his bedroom, Sun Yang lay on the bed, prepared, and contacted Zero.

"Zero, I'm ready. We can start."

Sun Yang said.

"Host, your consciousness is about to be transferred. Remember, to leave the virtual world, you must either complete the plot or meet some special conditions."

Zero gave a final reminder, and Sun Yang understood. To return to reality, he would have to wait for the end of 'The God of Cookery' or achieve something special, like taking Stephen Chow's title of God of Cookery.

With an indescribable sound, Sun Yang felt as if he was sitting on a fast train traveling through a tunnel. When he saw the light again, he found himself standing in a bustling night market.
