Chapter 396 Meeting

As expected of a compatriot, the boss really managed the food with a conscience. He was afraid that Lu Li would not be able to eat too much, so he reminded him several times in a row.

Although his worries were unnecessary, if Lu Li opened up to eat, he would probably be able to eat up the stall.

"How much?"

"Give it after you finish eating."

Seeing that the old man was busy and didn't have time to talk to himself, Lu Li said again, "Boss, I'll make a call at the phone booth over there, and I'll be back in a while."

"Okay, the noodles are cooked and I'll bring them to the table."

Soon, Lu Li walked to the phone booth on the side of the street, which was covered with graffiti written in Chinese characters: people are going up, eat fish instead of counting, tomorrow is a good day...

Probably some of the children just learned a few words, so they scribbled and drew pictures here.

After swiping the ID card once and losing two credit points, the restrictions on public phones are lifted.

A few minutes later, Lu Li walked out of the phone booth. Mr. Roger, the interstellar security guard, did not go out, and promised to meet at the Cantonese morning tea stand in Chinatown later.

Although this is a street stall, the consumption is not low at all. Except for things like crab roe and shrimp cakes, which must be made with man-made products to save costs, all other dishes are real.

I took a quick look at it earlier, and a cage of pork liver siu mai would cost twenty-five credits.

And the synthetic beef burger in my memory is considered a delicacy. It only costs 15 credits, and it can even be discounted by 30% when encountering fast food restaurants dealing with expired food.

"Garlic, eat with noodles." The boss brought over the prepared morning tea, pointed to the two peeled garlic and added: "This is free of charge."

"Thanks."

Lu Li broke open the disposable chopsticks, thanked him, and began to eat big chunks.

In fact, it's not so delicious, after all, Lu Li often had royal banquets in the past, and Xuanzong Li Longji often gave him food, asking him to take it home and eat.

Of course, the taste of pork liver siu mai is much better than burgers due to the sufficient spices and fresh ingredients.

The key is that the surrounding atmosphere is good.

It didn't take long, the two steamers were empty, the soup bowl was bottomless, and even two garlics went into Lu Li's stomach.

"Grandpa, please serve another order. I need two bowls of noodle soup."

This time the boss didn't refuse. After all, he had witnessed Lu Li's record with his own eyes. He quickly cleared the table and said, "Okay."

"boss."

At this moment, Interstellar Common Language came from behind.

"Hey, welcome." The old man shouted habitually in Chinese, and then switched to Interstellar: "Welcome, what do you want to eat?"

This is not the first time Mr. Roger has come. Every time he returns from a voyage, he likes to do two things the most. One is to go to the ATOM club to relax, and the other is to eat and drink in the Chinese food street.

I saw him put his hand on Lu Li's shoulder, greeted him, and then replied, "Here comes the tomato and egg rice bowl, and I'll make four big plates!"

"You man is so bold!"

The old man raised his eyes, looked up and down Mr. Roger's exaggerated figure, and finally persuaded: "But my family's big plate is unusual, you should eat three plates!"

"No."

Roger hasn't eaten Chinese food for a long time, and insisted on his face: "I still want four large plates!"

"You are too stubborn! Can you really eat it?"

Compared to the slightly thinner Lu Li, the 2.5-meter-tall muscular man in front of him was obviously more convincing, and the old man's attitude began to loosen.

"be able to eat!"

"okay."

After finishing speaking, the old man looked at Lu Li: "You two know each other, right? We can share a table together."

Because the business is so good, as long as there is an empty table, someone will fill it up immediately.

"That's right." Lu Li nodded and added, "I'll pay the bill."

"A total of two hundred and five credit points, you just give two hundred."

The accumulated expenses of the two are not a small sum, so the old man did not refuse.

And Lu Li happily paid the bill.

Roger was very familiar with himself. He took a seat opposite and took a basket of siu mai from Lu Li:

"Mr. Lu, what do you want from me?"

Because he stayed on the spaceship all the year round and had little contact with people, Roger developed a straight-forward personality.

"The school holidays are coming, I want to find a place to do a summer job, and I am more yearning for the stars, so I plan to find a short-distance cargo ship to follow."

Lu Li didn't deliberately hide it, and of course he didn't ask Roger to help introduce him, but he said in a helpless tone, "I don't know much about the market."

Hearing this, Roger already understood.

"Frankly speaking, star voyage is not fun, on the contrary, it is very boring."

He regarded Lu Li as a young man who wanted to experience life and was eager for excitement. Out of good intentions, he said truthfully: "On the short-distance cruise, all the staff, including the captain, eat the same food, not boiled and freeze-dried. Vegetables, that is, brewing nutrition powder, drinking a few bottles of fruit-flavored nutrition liquid occasionally, is already worth celebrating."

"If it is an interstellar voyage that lasts for several years, you even need to lie in the freezer and enter a dormant state, so as not to waste your life in vain."

The universe is boundless. Although the spaceship is large, if you stay in it for a long time, you will definitely be driven crazy.

In addition, the scene I saw was also extremely depressing, cold and dead, and I could occasionally see a planet, which was not suitable for living things.

"So, don't believe the advertisements of the colonization company. Where is the golden land? If it weren't for the planetary transformation technology, it would be impossible for human beings to survive in the Nemesis Galaxy."

At the end of the sentence, Roger felt that he had said enough, and finally just added a few words: "If you are really interested, you can talk about it after you finish your studies. You know, with the promulgation of the new law, in the field of interstellar transportation, Humans without prosthetics will become extremely competitive."

Recently, Lu Li had heard enough similar news, but because he had no channels to inquire, he could only keep it in his heart. Now the situation has changed.

He took advantage of the situation and asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"

On the side, Roger put down the plate as big as a washbasin. He felt that there was no need to hide his secrets in such a matter, so he put on an attitude of knowing everything and talking endlessly, and said:

"It is said that some new energy source has been discovered. Well, the description may be a bit wrong."

After pausing for a moment, and sorting out his wording, Roger said again: "Anyway, it is a very valuable thing that can be developed on a large scale, but it is limited to human use. It is also possible to transform people, but the higher the degree of body modification, the worse the effect will be. .”

Prosthetic eyes, arms, lower limbs...

Except for the important organs such as the cerebellum, pons, frontal lobe, and temporal lobe, Roger is actually no different from a robot.

Thinking of this, his mood of cooking was greatly affected.

However, if he could do it all over again, Roger would still accept the prosthetic transformation without hesitation, otherwise he would have starved to death on the street, where would he be today.

While the two were talking, a suspended car landed smoothly, and the other diners stopped their movements and prepared to watch the show.

These two words are sprayed on the most conspicuous part of the body.
