Chapter 635 Another Organization
Probably due to the time of day in the morning, the bar was unusually quiet and gave off a lazy feeling. This was originally supposed to be a large wine cellar. Bricks of unknown age supported the vault, and sofas, tables and chairs were placed along the pillars. There is a long glass corridor in the middle of the bar, and there should be singing and dancing performances at night. It was now covered with ribbons, shredded paper and the remains of flowing wine. The smells of cigarettes, alcohol and powder were mixed together, accompanied by the sound of the waiter cleaning up the broken pieces of the wine bottle.
Several drunken drinkers were lying on their backs on the sofa snoring. From their open clothes, you could see the strong muscles, tattoos and scars on them, as well as the daggers and guns hidden in their waists. "Can weapons be carried here?"
"You can bring it, but you're not allowed to use it." Logan curled his lips: "Don't worry about things that can't hurt us. We can relax here."
The two of them looked around and chose a clean seat to sit down. A waitress came over immediately. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old and hadn't grown much yet. She had a dark and thin body with a cute head with an afro hairstyle. She yawned, covered her mouth with her hand, and said very casually: "Logan, you really don't know how to choose the time. Do you want to order something to eat or something to drink?"
"Carly, you know what I really need, so it's just the same as before."
"What about you, sir?" Carly chewed gum hard, holding the order form in her hand with no intention of writing anything on it.
"Oh, what do you have here?"
"Theoretically, you can eat whatever you want, but the price is different."
"Roujiamo, tofu bread and two tea eggs." Zhao Mai said with a smile.
"Do you want coriander or chili? Do you want the tofu curd sweet or salty?" Carly's words really shocked Zhao Mai. You can still choose like this. Is this place the same as the canteen of the relevant ministries and commissions? A bar that can set up a space teleportation array at the door, using gold coins as the main transaction equivalent, is full of the atmosphere of a time traveler organization. Zhao Mai hesitated for a while, chose his breakfast, ordered a hot steamed bun with chicken and noodles for his reserve food, and then waited with longing.
After a while, Carly brought up everything the two wanted at once, and Zhao Mai became more and more certain that this place had something to do with the time traveler organization. All the food looked very authentic, and the smell was just right. Zhao Mai opened his mouth wide and bit down hard.
Bastard, it's not that I lack the emotion to taste food, it's that the British food is so unpalatable that it's impossible to have emotion in it! Zhao Mai choked and finished his breakfast, and Logan's eyes widened. He called Carly over, ordered another portion according to Zhao Mai's standards, and chewed it with curiosity and nervousness - he didn't cry.
"Ms. Carly," Zhao Mai wiped his tears and called her over. “Can I order something to take away?”
"It's okay to eat here, but you can't waste it or pack it away. However, it's not without accommodations. First, you have to become a life-long member, and then you can purchase food supply services. Moreover, you need to use your own power to take things away. We don’t allow trucks to pack here.”
"How to become a lifetime member?" To be able to mix in real food! Zhao Mai thought to himself.
Carly sighed and said, "Brother, this is difficult. But it doesn't hurt to tell you. After all, this is part of the job." She sat down next to Logan, opposite Zhao Mai . Logan quickly changed the lit cigar and held it in the corner of his mouth to avoid igniting her afro hair - it seemed that Logan still took good care of this young girl.
"Everything here is measured in gold coins. You pay gold coins for work, and services naturally cost gold coins. If the gold coins here are taken outside, they are the price of ordinary gold, and they are not worth a few dollars, but the meaning here is different. There are two kinds of gold coins, consumption gold coins and destiny gold coins. Today's exchange ratio is..." She looked back at the blackboard on the bar, and then said to Zhao Mai: "98 to 1, one point lower than yesterday."
"One ordinary consumption gold coin can be used to stay here for a month, which is enough for daily food and drink. The Continental Hotel guarantees safety, but don't think about packing or taking anything away. There is no time limit for lifetime membership, but it requires a period of time. A destiny gold coin, and it can only be a destiny gold coin. But don’t believe in the exchange ratio, because if you hold a consumption gold coin in your hand, you may not be able to exchange it for a destiny gold coin, because often the holder of the destiny gold coin does not need to consume gold coins. "
"That is to say, in addition to money, there may be additional services or conditions required?" Zhao Mai looked at Carly and nodded, and he probably knew it. He pretended not to understand: "Where can I know the services provided by Destiny Gold Coin?"
"There is a destiny gold coin next to the bar. You can see it yourself. As for its use, this is a problem on another level," Carly said: "We are only on the third floor underground. The holders of the destiny gold coin prefer the ground. Angel Nightclub on the second floor. But if you want to go up, you still have to come here first. I know that destiny gold coins can let you go to places like heaven, Eden or hell, as long as you want. Do you want to change your destiny? Go to destiny Just gold coins.”
"This promotional slogan is very interesting." Zhao Mai said to Carly. “Can I also order Peking duck in the morning?”
"Yes, but you have to finish eating. No waste is allowed here." She said with a smile: "Similarly, no fighting, insults, and work are allowed. This is just a place to simply talk and relax."
Carly walked away with a smile, and Logan quickly asked: "What is Peking duck?"
"A kind of food that can make me feel like a human being." Zhao Mai said to Logan: "I can make a list for you, and you can order the things on it in the future. They will all be delicious."
Within ten minutes, the delicious and mellow duck meat was served. How could it normally be so fast? This must be like the "unlimited supply capacity" of the relevant ministries and commissions, and it is absolutely unmistakable. Zhao Mai suspected that this was another place serving time travellers, but some capable ordinary people were also recruited to do some daily work.
While munching on delicious food, we chatted about the interesting things that happened during our time apart. Logan complained that it was difficult to earn gold coins now, while Zhao Mai said that he didn't know how to manage money at all, and he spent all his money in a daze. "What have you done? Did you use it all to buy gloves?"
"I wish I knew." Logan looked at the position where the claws stretched out on the back of his hand, and understood the meaning of Zhao Mai's "gloves". He said, "I have an idea to earn enough gold coins from here. , become a lifetime member. You know I can live for a long time, and I won’t have to worry about food and clothing in the future, hahaha! Others can’t earn back their money, but I have no problem!”
If it was before, Zhao Mai would definitely have taken out the destiny gold coins to pay him without saying anything. But now his thoughts have changed. It wasn't that he was worried about the money. He was worried about what if Logan found out that he had become a member and was doing nothing and getting drunk every day, slowly eroding his will to survive? He always spends all his money inexplicably, perhaps as a protective mechanism that forces him to keep moving in order to survive, like a shark that needs to swim all the time.
"I'll accompany you." Zhao Mai said to Logan. He didn't give money but he could contribute. Maybe this money-making job will last for a long time, maybe a lifetime, but for Zhao Mai who needs to kill time more, it is a win-win choice. "We'll share the money half with each other. But we can't accept any job, it's best to have something more meaningful."
"That's good, I agree." Logan smiled.
