...It is difficult to describe the emotions of my Central City friend and the expression of his demeanor. Of course, this is also because we are not familiar with this method. In short, after moving a certain distance, what appeared in front of us was a shiny and huge "restaurant" that was built upwards and divided horizontally into three floors. In the middle of the first floor from bottom to top There is a glowing, huge, three-dimensional decoration hanging on the part. Its name is! Translated by our loyal pansapien friends as "hairy belly Tuntun", although at that time he was obviously distracted and distracted. And I also heard his quiet complaint: "I moved all the way to Central City just to eat fast food!"
Of course, in the end he helped us enthusiastically, steadily and reliably, and we would go there every two or three work cycles thereafter. The "Restaurant" is indeed an extremely important place for the new generation of Central City and Kebei City members, who are transformed by "Hairy Belly" and fascinated by it in more creative ways.
After begging our loyal pansapien friends several times to take us to that "restaurant," I realized that this change might be so significant that no one, not even Central City, expected it to be that we couldn't ignore it. , but must be carefully observed and interpreted. I invited several of my friends and research partners on the Star Network to join in and conduct a comparative study of the three regions. What moved me was that they soon discovered the same surprise. It is indeed unimaginable that a small company from a management regime that is not even October 1 or a border area can expand so easily and have such a profound impact on even the lifestyle of the entire alliance.
Undoubtedly, there will be a large number of opponents who question the exclamation I have described above in the journals of StarNet, Ethno-Cultural Studies, Regional Regime Indigenization Research Collection, New Friends Carbon, and more. For example, when I was writing the first draft of this book, I already received responses from environmentalists and wow! Some political radicals, led by Silver Fire, came to the publication and denounced that the book was giving visibility to an evil cross-border mega-company whose only purpose was profit. Other academic friends of mine believe that this will lead to the spread of toxic pansapiencentrism in the alliance, with cultural homogenization following closely behind as its greatest harm.
The most exaggerated criticism is from StarNet: Many readers who emphasize dualistic separatism even sent me a special letter after the first trial version of this book was released, telling me that they have never and will never step into the "Mao Belly Tuntun" "One step, whether they are fanatical intellectuals or law-abiding ones. Those readers who admit that they have visited this desecrated place claim to have been forced to do so by various reasons, and seriously argue that they certainly did not like the services provided there and the primitive energy collectively called "food" Material. At the same time, "Maodutuntun" is being shaped into different shapes by different consumers and tourists in different regions. The debtors abandoned by Kebei enjoy the cheapest food in the "restaurant" as a reward. For respite and a short rest, many researchers in the central city regard it as a brand-new research and achievement display base. For the regular distribution port like Mencheng, a trip to "Mao Tutun Tun" is simply a matter of course. The cubs try to embrace the latest trends as a sign of rebellion, even though many of them have neither the pleasure of eating nor the need to excrete waste.
In some other core cities in the moon-level civilization-controlled areas that I can't quite name, "Mao Tumtun Tun" is sometimes even used as a symbol of a better-tempered, more harmless, and slower fire thief. things. In order to oppose some "advisory directives" that come directly from the fire pirates and are not as easy to refuse as they seem, local residents will vent their protests and dissatisfaction on this pansapien restaurant. For example, just recently, the latest political news summary of the main participating regimes in the alliance reported that in the city affiliated with the "Purple Arrow" Star Gate in the Divine Light Realm, in order to oppose the mandatory motion No. 675331 of the alliance's top meeting, about 57 masked individuals , including three limited and independent Tavoa arthropod consciousness groups and a magic mind parallel body composed of a White Tower mage and her seven apprentices, rushed into the largest local "Mao Belly Tuntun" and looted it , and some people put the slogan "Fire Stealers" on the restaurant's name sign.
Considering all these debates and conflicts, in this book, we will make a risky choice and regard "Mao Belly Tuntun" only as a valuable research object without making any value presuppositions. This decision has actually raised questions. At the 1752931622581 Zhisi City Pansapien Cultural Annual Meeting, the most powerful criticism received by the first draft of this book was "Isn't this promoting the company?".
Another sharp accusation is that we are suspected of accepting bribes and improper sources of research funding. However, I can clearly and proudly give a direct answer to this question, rather than going around and around and talking about him: No, we do not receive any funding from these restaurant agents and parent companies, nor do we accept donations from them. and offers, and no participant in this book is or has ever been employed by any of these companies, organizations, or individuals.
All in all, this is an investigation supported only by love, curiosity and the desire to simply visit and explore. I humbly believe that the time is ripe for the study of indigenous chemistry to shift from purely theoretical analysis back to "low-tech" analytical methods such as fieldwork and daily life studies. Ideocentrism, as Tuniavalindhura said in the water mirror at the top of the tower, is inherently arrogant and dangerous.
This book is considered by us to be an attempt to escape its curse and to balance popular perspective with professionalism. After all, within the borders of the Alliance, we are connected by more than just valid, beneficial, and wise covenants.
Luo Binhan was still reading the book when the meal rose from the bottom of the table. Thanks to Momolo and the Yongguang Clan's Shadowless Classroom, he found that his reading level had greatly improved, especially in extracting information about robbery crimes. He was now more sensitive to any signs of danger than before, so much so that he had no intention of watching the various dishes rising from the hollow in the center of the table and automatically sliding and rotating on the table.
"Someone came to this store to rob?" he asked Upsilon, who was walking around the table.
"It's a branch of Shenguang Realm, Mr. Luo. This kind of crime without profit was quite common in a certain period of time. However, the branch of Jiaoshuyuan Port has investment from Kebei City, and the owner of Gate City also We're cracking down on hate crimes, so I guess there shouldn't be any risk here. By the way, robbing in places where Guillory gathers in large numbers is very dangerous, because it's hard to predict what they're capable of. Although the branch in Central City is There are mostly nerds who are keen on solving problems, and it is impossible to determine which one is researching micro-weapons. In comparison, the branch in Kebei City is probably the easiest to be attacked. Ah, but that does not mean that you can not be careless, because compared to Politically motivated robberies and vandalism, it is the first-timers here who have the highest accident rate."
"You said before that it's safe here."
"Oh, under normal circumstances. Moreover, no matter how serious the accident caused by Gu Yuolu's fright, it will not cause a star explosion crisis, right?"
Luo Binhan sternly asked him to stop this prophetic behavior with ulterior motives. He put the book on his lap and began to formally experience the service level of the interstellar fast food chain.
Overall, it was a pretty good meal. He experienced all kinds of things. He learned to dig out clay-like, shapeable metal cutlery from boxes and place them in the cutlery sink under the table to shape them, or simply tap the tabletop in front of him to have a robotic arm deliver food to his mouth. Upsilon told him that the tableware can be designed to be more complex through programs and accessories, such as adding a player at the end that emits different tones based on the taste of the food. The five-minute homemade creative tableware competition is a traditional competition in Maodudutuntun, which is often held between Central City and Smart City. Luo Binhan suspected that Joel Fineman's "Eating Guy" got inspiration from here.
All the food was beautifully presented and processed so thoroughly that Luo Binhan could hardly recognize any of the ingredients. He often has to put it into his mouth to know whether it is meat, vegetable or fruit, and sometimes he doesn't even know it after eating it. But if he is as eager to explore as Upsilon, he can issue fixed instructions to the robotic arms of the meal auxiliary at any time, asking them to report the raw materials and nutritional content of any dish, or asking them to report a taste. Pick. There are dozens of beverage flavor options that can be mixed with each other, and there are thousands of raw material options. This confused Luo Binhan at first, until Upsilon told him that the drinks here usually use gustamines to adjust the taste, so they often have nothing to do with the taste of the raw materials. That is precisely to make the ancient law understand that in the rational world, the natural properties of matter can be easily separated. But if the guest is a staunch fundamentalist, it can choose unprocessed raw materials.
Luo Binhan tried to mix the drink. This combination process was completed through several joysticks, so his final result was so bad that even Saturday refused to take a second sip, and finally had to accept Momolo's "sweet, sour and slightly salty" plan. Overall, the drinks are fun.
They also tried something else. When Luo Binhan drank enough alcoholic drinks, he and Zhou Ba ran to the wall and lit up the screen. They turned up the ambient sound to maximum, then replaced the mechanical dolls' concert set, and went through all the possible scenes. So for a while they sat on the deck of a giant spaceship, for a while they got into a deep-sea tunnel where sea monsters roamed, and for a while it became an interstellar battlefield where lasers rained down. Finally, Luo Binhan discovered the "customize" option. With the help of the awakened waiter, he put on the thinking editor and painted the wall with Jing Huang's face, while the background music was the children's song "A Star". Overall, it’s a joy to click on the screen. Before Jing Huang jumped up and chased him. New 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest. PC: www.@x81zw@@
This meal finally changed Luo Binhan's impression of Mao's belly. When Luo Binhan was exhausted from playing, he made his ultimate request to the waiter.
"Do you have a toilet here?" he asked.
"Of course! We have the most complete set of excretion chambers!" the waiter replied. Luo Binhan had to admit that they were great. Under the guidance of the attendant, he walked back into the tunnel and was transported by a conveyor belt to a toilet that fit his size. There he finished his entire drink and then walked out leisurely. When he was about to return to the room, the waiter said to him: "I have one..."
"Don't ask me why I poop." Luo Binhan said prophetically, "That's my life."
"I have a notification to convey to you," the waiter continued. "Guest No. 369 just submitted an application to the counter, requesting to meet you in his room. Do you accept it?"
Luo Binhan shook his head in confusion: "Who?"
"We cannot disclose its privacy before you agree to its request." The waiter emphasized, "Any race, age, and gender information must be kept confidential, but we assure you that he is a legal citizen within the Union. And if you have If necessary, we will assign security personnel to accompany you." New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest mobile terminal: :/
"So how does it know my information?"
"We always pay attention to protecting the privacy of our customers." The waiter clarified seriously.
“Can I bring someone I know with me?”
"It requests a private meeting with you."
Luo Binhan couldn't help but feel that this matter was interesting. Then who can be the guest invited to see him alone? He vaguely thought of many candidates, some of whom he wished for but believed were impossible, and others who he would have drawn his gun and shot on the spot.
"I'll go take a look at it," he said after thinking for a while, "but you have to be there, okay? If I ask to terminate the meeting, you must protect me and leave immediately. And notify my companions to come find me."
The waiter agreed. So they walked into the tunnel together, and then Luo Binhan felt that they were not moving forward but actually rising. He felt like he was at least five stories high before he started moving forward as before. Finally, they stopped in front of a door that looked nothing special.
Luo Binhan asked the waiter to start, and he followed behind, quietly putting his hand into his coat. He made up his mind that if Zhou Wenxing was waiting in the room, his dessert today would be human wolf meat.
He mustered up the courage to step into the room, and then involuntarily narrowed his eyes. He hadn't seen the guests in the room yet, but the first thing he saw was a piercing silvery white. The cold wind whistled in the room, making it feel like being in a wilderness.
Luo Binhan found himself standing in a patch of snow. Thick silver dust buried his feet, and the air was cold and fragrant. As he looked toward the far end of the landscape, he saw that they were surrounded by a large circle of peach and plum trees. Those blooming flowers and trees were just an illusion, but he could clearly smell the fragrant fragrance of the flowers.
Luo Binhan took his hand out of his coat. He had already seen the diners kneeling in front of the low black wooden table. There was a bald man in formal clothes, and squatting next to him was a strange creature with characteristics of a dog, a cat, and a rabbit.
"Well," the bald man said, "Long time no see, Luo Binhan."
Luo Binhan glanced at the creature next to him. Then he slowly raised his right hand and made two awkward moves at the other party.
"Farke," he said.
