Humanoid Machines [Unlimited] Section 140
There is still a restaurant on the seventh floor, but there are very few people who can go there. Most people choose the latter over expensive food and cheap, satisfying nutrients, and they always need to save points for more important life resources, such as the cabin they rent. Without a sleeping pod, they will freeze to death during the starship's designated "night" hours, when the power supply is stopped, or go out to work to circumvent it.
And enough points can also save them from doing some dangerous work and dying.
Of course, "living" is more important than enjoyment.
Yuan Yuxue has no scruples.
He entered the dungeon, and the status he got was terrible.
The interpersonal relationship is bad, so Ah Yan's attitude will be so hostile at first.
The points for the deposit are also close to none.
If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Yuxue needed to consume too few living materials, it would be difficult for an ordinary player to even survive in this situation.
However, after receiving that somewhat inexplicable reward, Yuan Yuxue had a lot more money on hand.
He can redeem a lot of food.
Of course, the level of the restaurant on the seventh floor will not be very high, but Yuan Yuxue is easy to satisfy. Any food that stimulates his palate will make Yuan Yuxue feel new, and he will taste it with great appreciation.
Now he can finally buy it a little "willfully".
And Xiao Xiao was able to accompany Yuan Yuxue to the restaurant because his random identity was better, the points were sufficient, and he could still afford to have a meal. It's just that Xiao Xiao doesn't pay much attention to appetite, so he orders cheaper bread food.
When he complained, Yuan Xuxue's order also came up. It is a thinly rolled clear soup noodle with silky noodles, and the white noodles are soaked in the soup and turn into an appetizing, oily color that shapes up like clouds. The noodles on the top are sauced shredded pork and brightly colored small green vegetables, which will make people very appetizing with a little garnish.
The soup is still warm, and it is extremely rich and soaked in umami.
Of course, if you look at it with a critical eye, at least according to Xiao Xiao's vision, this bowl of noodles is so-so. The food he tasted in the safe zone was much finer than this bowl of shredded pork noodles in terms of ingredients and cooking level.
However, Yuan Yuxue was not picky at all, and even looked very expectant-Xiao wondered how he could see the expectation revealed in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows on Yuan Yuxue's cold face.
After the waiter finished serving, although Yuan Yuxue's mind was on the food, she still nodded slightly and thanked the other party before opening the bamboo chopsticks that had been given. Roll up a ball of filamentous noodles and send it into the lips and teeth.
The red lips were even more red by the heat.
The mist rose and landed on Yuan Yuxue's face. The thin and thick black eyelashes seemed to be stained with some mist, which made his usually expressionless and very cold face softened a lot, as if it was a little gentle.
Yuan Yuxue eats quickly, but she looks very gentle. A ball of noodles fell into his lips and he chewed it quickly, and he carried a little shredded pork sauce as a side dish, or two small green vegetables that had been scalded by hot water and were still verdant and tender. After eating the thin silk noodles, Yuan Yuxue scooped up a little bit of the boiled and delicious broth with a soup spoon and tasted it little by little.
He didn't drink the soup quickly, and he was very careful, and he didn't make a sound at all. The soft lip flap is also much thicker during a little bit of eating.
Xiao Xiao looked at him, inexplicably a little distracted. He is not too picky about the type of food, and he is not interested in it, but he will watch Yuan Yuxue eat, and inexplicably think why does it look so fragrant...... It's as if between the lips and teeth, it's like being stimulated to keep secreting saliva.
And Yuan Yuxue seems to like it very much.
Could it be that the bowl of noodles is a non-attractive type, but it is actually very delicious?
When Yuan Yuxue was dining, of course, he was very attentive.
When he finished drinking a little noodle soup, he looked at Xiao Xiao, who suddenly stared at him without moving, and the piece of black bread in his hand that had not been touched just now.
Xiao Xiao also came back to his senses suddenly, realizing that he seemed to have been staring at Yuan Yuxue for too long, and was inexplicably a little embarrassed, lowering his head and nibbling on his own bread, his face was a little red.
After he finished nibbling on the bread, he calmed down for a while, and watched Yuan Xuxue pick up the plate and put it in the place where it was cleaned, and he was a little angry.
Although Yuan Yuxue seemed to be very satisfied with the meaning of the "reward", he still thought that if Yuan Yuxue could go to the sixth layer at this time, he would enjoy more and better food, instead of staying in the seventh layer, where goods and services were equally barren.
"That sir, I really didn't do anything practical......
He grumbled under his breath.
Yuan Yuxue's gaze suddenly crossed him and fell to the position behind him.
Xiao Xiao is the sensitive intuition of some players, so although he didn't feel any threat, he had a very strange feeling urging him. So much so that Xiao Xiao suddenly came back to his senses, and saw the person behind him-
It was the chief in the dark green uniform that day.
Xiao Xiao: "......"
It's a bit embarrassing to say that people are caught.
However, Xiao Xiao quickly became upright, and raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the person opposite.
He is not an aborigine, and he does not have the deep-seated fear and awe of the "lower people" for the "superior people", even if he is heard, it is nothing.
The officer also raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little dark.
Although Xiao Xiao did not name who the "chief" in his mouth was, of course he could guess that person was himself according to the context.
He didn't have any reason to be angry, because what Xiao Xiao complained about—that is, the fact that Yuan Yuxue couldn't be transferred to the sixth layer—did have an unexcusable connection with himself.
So much so that after he investigated, he was almost so angry that he fell down.
I was quite uneasy, and I wanted to send my subordinates to explain to Yuan Yuxue, but I felt that it was not formal enough, and those words were not easy to pass through the mouths of others, so I simply came in person.
The people on the seventh floor could not easily go to the higher cabins, but if the people above wanted to come down, there was no obstacle and they could do so at any time.
However, there are very few people in the upper cabins who do this, unless it is mission time, otherwise it is a dissonance and identity for them.
So on the seventh layer, it is of course a very rare phenomenon to see adults from the fifth layer.
In particular, this adult went to a "restaurant" that definitely did not belong to any mission location.
Along the way, I don't know how many people can't help but look at this chief in dark green uniform.
Either they looked frightened, or they looked in a trance, and the people who could react to maintain due etiquette to him and should bow deeply were a minority, and most of them were straight and stared at him in surprise.
It was at this time that the prefect did not have the heart to deal with their disrespect, otherwise these people would all be punished.
The chief was now in the dining room, as if he were a glowing, walking light bulb.
Countless people looked at him timidly, and he felt that he was a little dizzy for some reason, he didn't expect that he would one day take the initiative to go to a place like the seventh floor, and he didn't make any cover-ups.
But it's all here, and it's too late to regret it.
The man pursed his lips slightly, looked at Yuan Xuxue, what he said next, of course, could not be said in public, so he simply said to Yuan Xuxue: "Let's go to the private compartment of the restaurant to talk." ”
Yuan Yuxue said calmly: "There are no cubicles in the restaurant on the seventh floor. ”
Sir: "......"
Sir: "...... Then there will always be somewhere with fewer people and more privacy, right? ”
…
A moment later.
The chief stood at the door of the washroom, the position of the sink, with a dark face.
After making sure that there was no one on either side, Xiao Xiao was very conscious, knowing that what the chief said was probably related to Yuan Yuxue's failure to be transferred to the sixth layer, so he was quite cooperative, and took the initiative to go to the door of the bathroom to help them watch the passers-by.
The chief's face was reflected in the mirror, and it was even darker and a little blue.
Why, for the first time, he was at the door of the toilet, talking to someone in secret.
Yuan Yuxue saw his expression, even though he was extremely insensitive to human emotions, he could roughly detect the chief's dissatisfaction at this time, and said after a little silence: "This place is very suitable for your requirements." ”
Sir: "......"
Well, choose for yourself.
He's less critical.
After making awkward mental preparations, the chief spoke: "The fact that you were not transferred to the sixth layer this time is indeed me...... The main responsibility should be borne by the people. ”
Yuan Yuxue: "...... Well? ”
What is the sixth layer thing about?
The chief thought that Yuan Yuxue was asking for a detailed reason, so he simply confessed himself: "I recently competed with a certain political enemy for the opportunity to enter the fourth layer. He may see that I help you advance the review system, thinking that you are from my side, and I am going to insert you into the sixth layer, or even the fifth layer, to be my eyeliner. I don't want my subordinates to grow, so I'm going to take you and reward you...... I pressed it down. ”
In other words, if he didn't help Yuan Yuxue go through that expedited procedure, he would have a better chance of being able to ascend to the sixth layer.
But because he wanted to sell people's face, he became a stumbling block.
Yuan Yuxue will understand.
He looked at the other party as if there was still a trace of unwillingness, and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm very satisfied with these rewards." ”
The chief thought he was talking angrily, and gritted his teeth slightly, "I will be responsible to the end." You can rest assured that when I find an opportunity, I will compensate you for this opportunity. ”
Yuan Yuxue: "......"
Yuan Xuxue was ashamed of it, her tone was cold, and she said very decisively: "No." ”
But the chief stared at him, and he became even more persistent, "You can not accept it, but anyway-"
"Hey, did you say yes?" Xiao Xiao's helpless voice came from outside the door, "I can't stop it, someone wants to go to the toilet, it's very urgent." ”
Sir: "......"
Chapter 159: Fear Voyage 9
The venerable prefect from the fifth floor stepped out of the bathroom on the seventh floor, his face sinking as water, his steps were extremely fast, and the sound of the wind drove the cloak behind him to hunt, and fluttered like a flag.
The diners, who were barricaded at the door and couldn't wait to enter the bathroom, were slightly stunned when they saw his dark green uniform and realized that it was a fifth-floor prefect.
They had never encountered such a "superior person" in such a scene.
For a moment, I forgot what I was here for.
And the chief was stared at in a daze, and his face was even more ugly. He glanced arrogantly at the Seventh Layer and warned, "Don't say you saw me here."
The group: "...... Oooh. ”
Is there a secret they can't know?
But what kind of secrets should be talked about in the toilet?
Then, the group sent the chief away with awe-struck eyes.
And Xiao Xiao hurriedly followed up in the bathroom. I happened to see Yuan Yuxue washing his hands in front of the mirror. Drops of water fell from his fingertips and smashed into the snow-white pool.
Xiao Xiao glanced at Yuan Yuxue's fingers in a trance—realizing that they were indeed a pair of very beautiful hands, the back of the hand was very thin, and the joints were slender and distinct. The droplets of water rolled down, as if washing his skin whiter than jade. It's not at all like a hand that a seventh-layer person would have.
Or to be more precise, not like a "human" would have a hand.
It's just that Xiao Xiao at this time didn't have time to notice these abnormalities, but just replied to Shen Dao with a little entanglement, "That, did he tell you...... What about that? ”
Xiao Xiao didn't know if it was appropriate to ask about this topic.
