Becoming God of a Dystopian World

2nd City, Sang Sang Merchants.

Inside the Palace of Brother Sang, Zhao Luo was sitting on a chair. 

Brother Sang had his servants make something for Zhao Luo. 

He remembered seeing Zhao Luo entering the restaurant in the entry City. But for some reason, he rushed out of the restaurant abruptly.

"You can stop doing that."

Zhao Luo said to Sang.

It would be annoying for anyone if someone who was sitting right next to them kept on taking quick peeks at them.

That was what Brother Sang had been doing with Zhao Luo. 

Zhao Luo could only feel the momentary stares of Brother Sang that we're landing on him time after time yet no word was spoken by him except the only time he ordered one of his servants to make something special. 

"I will stop but it's just that I have so many questions for you that I am barely holding myself from asking. Just so that I don't annoy you, Brother Luo."

Sang said to Zhao Luo explaining the reason behind him acting weirdly.

"I understand but remember that there are some things that are better left unknown."

Zhao Luo said with a mysterious tone. In reality, he was just baffled as to what he was supposed to tell him.

'I slept for 100 years after your great grandfather trapped me in a capsule!'

He couldn't tell him that so he thought that it would be better left as a matter of past.

"What wise words Brother Luo."

Brother Sang was pretty impressed by Zhao Luo's words. 

Brother Sang was comparing Zhao Luo to Takuma in terms of intelligence.

But he didn't know that Zhao Luo may have lived since then but he hadn't aged even a single year while lying in the capsule.

'Sigh I feel bad for not telling my story.'

Zhao Luo thought his words were anything but wise words.

While Brother Sang was praising Zhao Luo and Zhao Luo was going through an internal regret, one of the servants came with a bowl placed on the tray that was in his hands.

'What could that be?'

Zhao Luo thought as the servant was walking at a very slow pace and the contents of that bowl were not visible to Zhao Lio as he was sitting on the chair.

'How long has it been since I had a taste of something?'

Zhao Luo thought as the last decade went through his head. Was it finally the time when he would be eating something? Will he finally feel the texture of meat? Will something edible finally go down to meet his gastric juices? 

Many thoughts to the point of insanity passed through his mind. He was close to losing his sanity as the servant was doing his best to take his time.

But who was Zhao Luo? 

He was someone who was on the path to Godhood. Zhao Luo had the mental capability of a Crimson God.

"Huh, I almost lost it."

Zhao Luo said as he got up from the chair and walked towards the servant.

This servant was a young girl.

Someone from the lawless City. There was a time when she was just waiting for her death in the lawless city. Being bullied and taken advantage of every day was something that no one can go through. Yet this young lady had to let it happen to her every day. 

For her, there was no escape from this daily torture except killing herself. But sadly the young lady didn't even have enough strength to finish her miserable life.

Then one day something out of the ordinary happened in her life. One of the people who would harass her usually was going to repeat his action and because she was so scared that she couldn't even fight back.

She closed her eyes and waited to be harassed by that man yet after waiting and waiting for no had touched her and when she opened her eyes a face big enough to scare her was right in front of her.

"Come with me and no one will ever wrong you. I won't let anyone mess with my people."

That guy with the big face told her.

That is how this girl ended up in Brother Sang's 'Sang Sang Merchant'.

All the other servants with her were looking at their boss interacting with this handsome man since they had entered the premises of the land owned by Brother Sang.

They even saw the scenes where Brother Sang laughed like a mad man and where he bowed to Zhao Luo through the window of the Palace.

Now, this girl was serving something to this important guest of her lord.

She didn't even realize when she started starting at Zhao Luo and became mesmerized with his silver beautiful hair and his handsome face. While her concentration drifted over Zhao Luo and she forgot to pace herself, she was now walking like a snail. 

But this state was broken when that handsome guy got up from his chair and was now in front of her.

"Thank you for bringing me this."

Zhao Luo thanked the young lady with a smile causing her to blush. He took the bowl from her tray.

"This-this is ramen."

Zhao Luo saw the content of the bowl and he could see the noodles floating on top of the thick broth.

There were meat pieces right above the noodles. With a half-boiled egg floating between the broth. It was a sight that would even cause a full person to drool.

"This is one of the ancient recipes passed only in my family. I can assure you that you will not find this kind of ramen anywhere else except here."

Brother Sang declared proudly and waited for Zhao Luo to eat it.

The girl was also looking at Zhao Luo.

'How handsome will he be when he eats?'

This girl was still focused on Zhao Luo's features.

Zhao Luo took the chopsticks that were on the tray. He split them into halves and held them in his hand.

'Uff, this feeling. How badly have I missed this sight?'

Zhao Luo was in a state of excited questioning.

After a long time, he was finally holding chopsticks while facing his food. 

Zhao Luo dipped his chopsticks in the broth and took a good quantity of soaked noodles out

.

He then rolled the noodles around the beef steak piece and a piece of the half-boiled egg making a big bite with nothing missing in it.

The chopstick's end which had rolled some of everything from the ramen ended up inside Zhao Luo's mouth.

'Mmm, Mmmmm, Mmmmm.'

Zhao Luo chewed on it and didn't have any words to say as he experiencing bliss at this moment. The fine texture of the meat and the noodle was exploding in his mouth along with the spiciness of the broth. But it climaxed when the egg's flavor fell on his tongue from within the noodles. 

After a long long time, he finally had something to eat and it could be said that this ramen will be one of the best dishes available in this World. 

"Delicious."

Zhao Luo said with years on his eyes as he dipped his chopsticks on the broth again. In just a short time he had finished the big bowl filled with ramen and best steak pieces.

Zhao Luo put the bowl back on the tray as the girl was still there. She couldn't miss this show after getting the front row seats. The other servants were also peeking inside the main hall looking at everything that was going on.

After Zhao Luo placed the bowl back, the young lady went back, and as she left the main hall, the other servants surrounded her.

"So what did he say about the ramen that I cooked?"

A man with a big chef hat asked the lady. He was the one who had cooked the ramen for Zhao Luo.

"He said that it was delicious."

The young lady replied to the chef.

"It would have been the same if I had cooked it."

A fat woman interrupted with her remark. But she wasn't wrong as the recipe was the same no matter who cooked it so the taste wouldn't have been any different.

"So this is love at first sight."

The young lady unknowingly said with a smile of a maiden on her face while looking back at Zhao Luo who was completely unaware of this.

"Haha, silly girl."

The fat woman started laughing as if it was an impossible thing to happen.

Moving back to the main hall where Zhao Luo could be seen sitting on the chair again.

He had just eaten his first dish finally. He was still going through the flavor and the excitement he felt with every bite.

"Brother Luo, have you made any plans?"

Brother Sang asked Zhao Luo bringing him back to the present.

This was a serious question for Zhao Luo and a very important one at that. He had to be serious about his every decision as wasting time because of a wrong decision would be fatal for his journey.

"I will join the Xin Sect."

Zhao Luo states his wish. As he had heard from Si Chen and Rose, joining the Xin Sect would be very beneficial for his training.
