I Have A Game Clone

268 First Arrival at Yuan City (2)

The people here did not seem to fear death or life.

To describe it in one word, it was “reckless”!

This was the spiritual quality that allowed the savages to survive in the wilderness.

Because there were not many people, the savages could not build a sound industrial system. They could not produce mechas.

However, in order to survive, they took a different path and focused on developing mechanical technology. They used mechanical weapons and mechanical limbs to survive in the wild.

They also built their own city.

Without this reckless spirit, who would dare to modify their own bodies?

With a little thought, one would know that it was impossible to succeed in modifying mechanical limbs. The price of failure was often physical disability.

Ning Shi admired the spirit of these people, but he was unwilling to go crazy with them. He quickly walked to the balcony with Tong Qingqing.

The bald uncle moved very quickly. In less than a minute, a simple folding wooden table and two small stools were placed on the narrow balcony.

“This is my special seat,” Tong Qingqing said proudly. “If it weren’t for me, you would have to queue for a long time to eat here.”

Ning Shi looked at the little girl’s expression that said, “Come and praise me.” He didn’t tease her and said directly, “Tong Tong, you’re so amazing. I’ve benefited from you!”

Hearing Ning Shi’s agreement, Tong Qingqing’s eyes narrowed, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up. She was extremely happy.

“Of course. Let me tell you, the dishes in this restaurant are especially delicious, especially the spicy beef hooves. The hooves of the thick-hoofed cow, a Level 3 radioactive creature, are used. It is marinated with a secret spicy sauce and roasted in the oven for two hours.

“The hooves are very thick. After being roasted, the taste is fragrant and soft. Sigh! I can’t say it anymore. If I say it again, I can’t stop drooling!

“No, I haven’t finished introducing them to you. There are two other dishes, beef tongue, and beef tripe…”

Tong Qingqing really regarded Ning Shi as a lone savage in her dreams. She was especially close to Ning Shi and talked a lot without stopping.

Ning Shi listened with a smile and responded to Tong Qingqing from time to time. At the same time, he also paid attention to the conversations of the surrounding customers and collected some scattered information about Yuan City.

The spicy beef hooves in the restaurant were roasted in advance, so the dishes were served very quickly. Ten minutes later, the beef hooves, beef tongue, and beef tripe were served on the table.

Ning Shi was also a foodie. He grabbed a foot-long beef hoof that weighed more than five pounds and started to chew on it.

The skin of the beef hoof was roasted until it was charred and fragrant. It was filled with collagen, soft and sticky. After chewing a few times, the spicy taste exploded in his mouth, leaving an endless aftertaste.

With just one bite, a sense of happiness and satisfaction rose from the bottom of his heart.

It was indeed a rare delicacy.

The two of them didn’t say anything and focused on tasting the food in front of them.

Tong Qingqing rubbed her belly and said, “This meal is too satisfying. It doesn’t matter if my wallet is empty!”

The ingredients of the beef hooves came from a Level 3 radioactive creature, so the price was definitely not cheap.

“Is Yuan City using digital currency too?” Ning Shi asked.

“Yes,” Tong nodded lightly. “We use Yuan City’s own digital currency. It’s not compatible with the Norse Republic’s digital currency.

“However, I heard from my father that the purchasing power of the two currencies is about the same.”

There was an electronic screen in the restaurant with the menu and prices on it. Ning Shi glanced at it and saw that a grilled beef hoof cost 50,000 Yuan coins. The total cost of this meal was about 200,000 Yuan coins.

For anyone, the expenses here were not cheap, let alone for a ten-year-old girl like Tong Qingqing.

It could be seen that Tong Qingqing really wanted to be a host and treat Ning Shi to a good meal. For this, she did not hesitate to spend the pocket money that she had saved for a long time.

Ning Shi was not stingy. He took out a box from his backpack when Tong Qingqing was not paying attention and handed it to her.

“According to the customs of my hometown, when a friend invites me to dinner, we usually have to give a greeting gift. I came in a hurry today and didn’t bring anything else, so I can only give you this jelly meat.”

Inside the box was the jelly meat of a Level 2 radioactive creature, the green-eyed wolf. It weighed 10 pounds and was worth about 500,000 origin coins in the Norse Republic. It should not be cheap in Yuan City either.

No matter where it was, the jelly meat of radioactive creatures was a hard currency.

Tong Qingqing did not reject Ning Shi’s kindness. She took the box excitedly and said happily, “Ning, I really like this gift. Thank you!”

At this moment, the mechanical dog that had been lying next to Tong Qingqing suddenly began to transform into a humanoid robot about 1.8 meters tall.

The robot’s mouth opened and closed as it began to speak.

“Tong Tong, I’m very happy that you finally have a friend of your own. If you don’t mind, you can ask your friend to come to our house. Dad wants to meet him.”

Tong Qingqing’s face instantly turned pale. She said with a sad face, “Father, Ning is just my friend. I only play with him on my rest days.

“I won’t leave you. I won’t betray you. Father, please believe me!

“Don’t harm…”

The robot interrupted Tong Qingqing and said coldly, “Don’t worry, Tong Tong. I’m only interested in your friend. I promise you that I won’t hurt him.

“Now, please bring him here. Don’t try to escape. You know the consequences.”

After saying this, the robot turned back into a mechanical dog. Tong Qingqing’s father had already left.

Tong Qingqing looked at Ning Shi with tears in her eyes. Her fair face was filled with regret.

“Ning, I shouldn’t have brought you here. It’s all my fault. I thought that nothing would happen, so I was lucky.

“Father usually conducts experiments all day and all night. Each experiment lasts at least a month.

“Although I have a mechanical dog by my side, it usually doesn’t pay too much attention to me.

“Who knew that it would be such a coincidence?”

Tong Qingqing’s perception was extremely sharp. She sensed that Ning Shi had no ill intentions toward her and sincerely treated her as a friend.

She had no friends since she was young and cherished Ning Shi very much. In addition, Ning Shi’s behavior was very much in line with the image of a lone savage in her heart.

Therefore, she could not help but invite Ning Shi to Yuan City, wanting to share what she thought was the best with her good friend.

However, she did not expect things to be so coincidental that her father discovered Ning Shi.

Tong Qingqing gritted her teeth and said firmly, “My father has great power in Yuan City. We can’t escape. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to ensure your safety.”

Ning Shi smiled. He knew that there was no coincidence. Tong Qingqing’s father’s men must be in this restaurant.

This person was most likely the bald uncle. It was he who informed Tong Qingqing’s father, who ended the experiment and noticed the situation here.

Ning Shi also wanted to meet Tong Qingqing’s father. He would definitely want to get to know a person who could create a helium-powered heart.

As for the danger, Ning Shi had his own confidence.

With Ning Shi’s current physique, coupled with his cultivation technique and skills, even if he encountered Old Li, he could still escape if he could not win.

Within three steps, he was invincible.

Even though Tong Qingqing’s father was a mecha master, Ning Shi was not afraid of him before he boarded the mecha.

“Let’s go, Tong Tong,” Ning Shi said to Tong gently. “I’m also very interested in your father. As for my safety, you don’t have to worry about it. After all, I’m a powerful lone savage.”
