Feng Bujue knew the way very quickly, and Yuchaolian was not a maze, so he did arrive at the coffee shop on Fifteenth Street in the living area very quickly.
To be honest, if it weren’t for the words “coffee shop” written on the signboard (written in the universe language and translated by the system), Brother Jue would never have imagined that the shop in front of him was for this purpose.
Obviously, the coffee shop here in Yuchaolian is quite different from the "quiet and comfortable" shop in the impression of people on earth...
When Juege pushed the door and entered, the first thing that came into his sight was a ring-shaped bar counter tens of meters long. The bar itself was a fixed tabletop, and a conveyor belt was next to the tabletop; the conveyor belt There are all kinds of snacks and drinks on the table, and the guests sitting at the bar can take whatever they want.
"What's the situation? Rotary sushi?" Feng Bujue really saw coffee sold in this form for the first time.
In fact, not only is the sales form not like a coffee shop here, but the atmosphere inside the store is as noisy as a vegetable market... Everyone is chatting loudly and smoking casually (there are thousands of legal tobacco products circulating in this universe Wan, smokers on different planets have different physiological structures and high things are different), and some aliens make amazing noises when they eat (not intentionally).
"Hey! Poker Man~" Just as Brother Jue was in a daze, the Tin Foil Man sitting seven or eight meters away waved at him and shouted, "Here~ I have reserved a seat for you."
"Ah... here we come." Feng Bujue Xunsheng saw the other party, and walked over in response.
The tinfoil man is still the same, wearing a very shabby tinfoil armor. In terms of appearance...the main difference between their "mud starmen" and humans is that their eye sockets are particularly large, and other features are similar.
"Uh... The coffee shop here is very different from the one I know..." Feng Bujue couldn't help but said as soon as he sat down.
"Haha... Many Earth heroes said that when they first arrived." Tin Foil Man smiled, "But most of them quickly fell in love with this 'cosmic' way of doing business."
At the same time as he said these words, a scorched black corpse passed gorgeously on the conveyor belt in front of the two of them...
Although Feng Bujue also knew that it was impolite to look around when talking to others, he still couldn't control his eyes and followed the corpse...
"Uh..." Brother Jue said with the corners of his mouth twitching. "Did something strange pass by just now?"
"Oh, those are desserts from environmental stars." The tinfoil man explained, "Don't worry, they're all pollution-free."
"Environmental protection star..." Feng Bujue felt his ass hurt as soon as he heard these four words. "Is it the ones with super long names who look like zombies..."
"Well, yes." Tin Foil Man continued, "Have you ever made friends with environmental stars?"
"I can't talk about making friends... I just met one when I was doing the hero level test..." Feng Bujue replied, "I remember his name is... come..."
Brother Jue himself doesn't know why he wrote down this name so clearly and completely...
"Oh, as far as environmental stars are concerned. It's really a short and powerful name." Tin Foil Man commented after listening.
"Heh... hehe..." Brother Jue laughed dryly, and decided it would be better to change the topic, "Then what... Speaking of the hero level test..."
"You don't have to say it." Tin Foil Man interrupted him, "I know what you're going to say." He smiled, "Hey...don't worry, your true strength...we all know it in the Supreme Council." He paused, "Arranging you at the 'city level'... is what Toad Man means, it's an extra test for you."
"Oh~" When Feng Bujue heard the words "Toad Man", he deliberately made a "suddenly enlightened" expression.
Actually. When Brother Jue just finished the test, he already speculated that he would be assigned to the "city level" because someone interfered with it. And if you want to say who is most suspected in this matter... then of course it is Toad Man.
However, when Tin Foil Man brought this matter up, Feng Bujue still chose to pretend... He wanted to hear what the other party would say next.
"It's not all about him." Two seconds later, Tinfoil Man continued, "Actually... I also have a part in it."
"Oh." Feng Bujue responded with the same word but in a completely different tone.
"I hope you don't have any prejudice against Toad Man because of this, I know him well..." Tin Foil Man continued, "He has always been like this, holding a pessimistic attitude towards everything, and he didn't intend to target anyone. "
"Well. I understand." Feng Bujue said, "I am also this kind of person." He shrugged, "If I were to stand in his position... I would not easily let a person from another universe with unknown origin The characters immediately occupy a high position in the Yuchao League."
"Haha, that's good." Tin Foil Man laughed. "In short, now that you have proved yourself once, our committee agrees that you should at least be promoted to the level of 'Galaxy Hero', otherwise... it would be too overqualified." He picked it up A plate of food on the conveyor belt ahead. Put it in front of Brother Jue, "Oh, look! This is what I told you in the email before, a new product."
Feng Bujue stared at the spiral poop-like substance in front of his eyes for a few seconds, then sniffed again...
He smelled a very subtle smell...
"This..." Brother Jue's eyes stayed on the lump of "snacks", and he said without raising his head, "...what is it made of?"
"It's made from the fruit on your earth." Tinfoil Man has a long lifespan and has extensive knowledge and memorization, so he knows a lot, "It's the one known as the 'King of Fruits'..."
"Durian?" Feng Bujue answered.
"Yes, durian." The tinfoil man said, "Recently, durian-flavored foods are very popular in various galaxies. The governments of many planets have begun to try to grow them locally, and many star chefs have begun to use this kind of food. Use ingredients to develop dishes." He said, and leaned forward to take a deep breath at the lump, "This unprecedented experience of contrast between smell and taste...it's simply unstoppable."
"I understand the truth..." Brother Jue replied with a blank eye, "but what's the matter with the shape?"
"Huh? What's wrong with this shape?" Tin Foil Man asked suspiciously. "Isn't this the classic 'ice cream shape'?"
"That's it..." Feng Bujue muttered, and then, he actually picked up the lump and took a bite.
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Tinfoil Man asked immediately. "Amazing isn't it?"
Feng Bujue didn't answer the question right away, his expression... became very complicated.
Because of this moment, he felt that some of his cognition had been subverted...
"Smelly smell, shit-like shape, but..." Brother Jue thought to himself, "It tastes so good..."
After a while. Feng Bujue swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at the tinfoil man with a serious look and said, "The dim sum here...is it expensive?"
"It's okay, even in terms of the income of a city-level hero, it's not expensive." The tinfoil man replied.
"Income?" Feng Bujue seemed to have heard a terrible word, "What? So our Yuchaolian heroes are still paid?"
"Yes." Tinfoil Man replied in a natural tone. After he finished speaking, his expression changed slightly, and he continued, "Oh... yes, you have joined the Yuchao Federation for less than three cosmic years. So you haven't I know." As he spoke, he took a plate of strange snacks and a drink that looked like magma from the conveyor belt, and put them in front of him, "Our Yuchao Federation will settle accounts regularly' For hero points', the settlement period is once every one hundred and sixty-eight cosmic weeks (approximately equal to one week of earth time); in addition to the 'basic points' of your own hero level, every time you solve a task issued by the alliance, you will Corresponding 'task points' can be obtained."
"Then what's the use of these points?" Feng Bujue asked while stuffing durian-flavored snacks into his mouth.
"Hero points can be used as currency in Yuchaolian headquarters and all its branches." Tinfoil Man explained patiently, "After all, our heroes also have to eat... Although the medical treatment and accommodation here are all It is free, and communication and transportation charges are extremely low. But it is impossible to completely ban currency, and some places still have to pay, otherwise it will cause a lot of problems.”
"Then... the points are useless outside Yuchaolian and its affiliated institutions?" Brother Jue asked again.
"Not necessarily..." Tinfoil Man replied, "Many city-level or planet-level heroes who are resident on their own planets have actual financial difficulties. For such heroes, the Alliance usually arranges for them a 'covering identity'. Work', and convert the points into currency that can be circulated on their planet and send them to them according to their needs." He took a sip of the unknown drink, and then said, "As for people like you who are resident in the Yuchao Federation headquarters or The heroes of the branch... relying on the points will definitely be able to live without worrying about food and clothing; if one day, for some reason... most of you are going to get married and start a family or are old and weak... If you want to wash your hands and leave Yuchaolian, we Then all your remaining points will be converted into the currency you need and sent to you."
"Oh... that's how it is." Feng Bujue responded. I have already finished my plate of snacks.
He didn't take anything from the conveyor belt anymore, because he wasn't sure what he could "eat", or in other words... what his "earthling" body could digest.
"Of course, in the final analysis... Heroes are not a profession that makes money, and the points system is just a basic guarantee of life provided by the alliance." Tinfoil Man continued, "In fact, at the beginning of Yuchaolian's establishment, we were There is no concept of 'remuneration' at all, and there is no division of 'hero levels' and 'crisis levels'; these systems... are gradually perfected as the alliance grows."
"It's conceivable... You and Toad Man must have faced and resolved countless problems and conflicts in these years." Feng Bujue continued.
"Yeah..." The Tin Foil Man chewed his snacks, and replied happily, "Many people still envy our 'Supreme Committee' who basically don't have to go out, but they don't understand..."
"Going out to work is much easier than engaging in internal affairs." Brother Jue interrupted the other party, and directly said what the tinfoil man wanted to say.
"Hehe... You are indeed a smart person and a sensible person." Tinfoil Man smiled, "Poker Man, I am very optimistic about you, maybe one day you will occupy a place on the Supreme Council."
The average hero would be a little excited when he heard this kind of words.
But Feng Bujue seemed unfazed, and just politely replied in a weak tone: "Ah... I accept your precious words."
...
Feng Bujue chatted with Tin Foil Man in that "coffee shop" for an hour.
During this hour, Brother Jue found out a lot of information about Yuchaolian, and tentatively tasted a few plates of strange snacks.
Before the two parted, Ketas (the name of the tinfoil man) said that he would immediately go to raise Brother Jue's level from "city level" to "galaxy level".
And Feng Bujue said—"I don't care about grades and points, I just want to deal with a few A-level or B-level crises as soon as possible."
Then, they parted ways...
Tin Foil Man went back to work on his official duties, while Feng Bujue returned to the hero dormitory.
"Huh..." After returning to room z250 and closing the door, Brother Jue let out a long breath and read, "When I first heard the word 'integral', I thought I had found some kind of accumulative Substantial rewards, as a result... isn't this a high-level 'food stamp'." He sighed and thought to himself, "Oh... why don't you just give me the money..."
Indeed, if Feng Bujue is given enough funds (sufficient here refers to a lot... or a huge amount), then he will definitely be able to make a career in this universe (for example, after forming his own evil research institution. kind).
It's a pity that this assumption is not valid for the time being; and Brother Jue doesn't plan to join the villain camp to earn rewards... because, so far, the villains he has encountered in this universe are either funny or weak... I always feel like I'm cast there Die together.
"No way, we still have to deal with as many high-level 'crisis events' as possible, so that we can get in touch with high-level things..." Feng Bujue returned to the computer while thinking, and entered his own id card, "Let me see... what a galaxy-level hero can do...".
