Chapter 17
Zhou Song is a border soldier who has been fighting on the front lines until recently when he was forced by his superiors to take a rest.
The reason for resting is nothing else but a problem of mental strength.
His mental breakdown value has reached 60. If the value does not drop during the rest period, he will be forced to exile to other planets and will never be able to meet his relatives and friends again.
If it were someone else, they might frantically try to find ways to lower their own values during this period, or find some healing psychics to help them clear their minds, but Zhou Song did nothing.
He was an orphan since childhood, with no relatives and few friends. He grew up on a desolate planet, so exile was not a bad thing for him.
If he had not been supported along the way, and now had brothers in the army who were willing to risk their lives for him and superiors who admired him very much, perhaps he would not have appeared here at the border at all.
At least he was very grateful to his partners and superiors.
As for his crash value, there is actually nothing that can be done about it.
Except for healing psychics, the higher the level of the psychic, the easier it is for the collapse value to increase.
He is an S-class psychic. According to past examples, basically no S-class psychic can live beyond the age of 40, and they are usually exiled at around the age of 30.
He is 29 years old now and it is almost time for him to go into exile.
He could accept exile, but he could not accept continuing to live in this way.
He had originally planned well, and even planned to use this opportunity to self-destruct on the battlefield, so as not to waste the Federation's resources and avoid the pain of a mental breakdown.
Because in the army, he had seen many of his comrades, who he had been with day and night, break down.
He had lost all his rationality, his eyes were red, like a mad beast, and when he looked at his familiar companions, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
He didn't want to become such a beast. At least for him, when he died, he wanted to die as a human being.
Unfortunately, his thoughts were seen through by his superiors.
Knowing that he had a tendency to self-destruct, his superior who had always admired him beat him up very roughly, threw him back into the confinement room, and gave him a virtual warehouse.
"I'll give you one month. Hurry and go into the park to lower your stats. Don't even think about self-destruction. If you do, you'll only make those of us who care about you sad."
The superior left after making some harsh remarks, leaving him alone.
Zhou Song knew that his superiors were doing this for his own good, so he didn't resist at all. He just lowered his head helplessly, his eyes red.
Who would want to die if they can live?
If he had any way, this wouldn't have happened.
After calming down for a while, he turned his head and looked at the virtual warehouse.
Remembering what his superior said, he hesitated for a moment and finally lay down in the virtual warehouse.
He began to enter different paradises for treatment. Compared with other people who considered many factors when choosing a paradise, he only considered the healing value when choosing a paradise.
He will go to the park with the highest healing value.
But even so, he could feel that these paradises did not have any significant effect, or in other words, the speed at which they decreased in value was not as fast as the speed at which it increased.
He began to feel something was wrong with his body.
His head was hurting more and more, and his temper was particularly explosive. As time went on, he felt that he was on the verge of losing control.
Feeling powerless, he went from being positive at the beginning to being discouraged.
Just when he was really desperate, he accidentally clicked on the official newcomer event and saw the name of China Paradise on the promotional list.
The two words "Huaxia" attracted him deeply.
He knew about Chinese civilization, because this fake civilization was once popular all over the planet, and even now, there are still many black fans who slander this civilization.
He once thought that this civilization was fictional, but after joining the army, he keenly discovered that his superiors were quite vague about it.
No matter what, the uniqueness of this civilization made him remember the word "Huaxia" deeply in his mind.
Now when he saw the Chinese Paradise again, he couldn't help but pay more attention to it, and even had the urge to explore. When he came to his senses, he found himself standing at the entrance of the paradise.
Then he saw the statue of Nuwa, accepted the blessing buff of the Phoenix, and even lay leisurely on the slope, looking at the blue sky, the warm sunshine shining on him, everything was very comfortable.
He fell asleep unknowingly and had a beautiful dream. When he woke up, he found that the park had already closed. He had been lying in the virtual warehouse all night.
When he measured the value again, he found that it had dropped by 1 point.
Seeing that the number was 62.1 the day before and had become 61.1 today, he felt deeply shocked.
A new paradise with such a high healing value!
For him, it was like a long drought finally ending in rain. He stood there stupidly for half an hour, confirmed it over and over again, looked at the changing values carefully, and laughed happily.
With full gratitude, he clicked on the homepage of China Paradise, and then gave a reward of 10,000 star coins without hesitation. He also left a message with his own account, hoping that there would be a hotel in the paradise so that he could stay there for 24 hours, and lower his value as soon as possible and return to the battlefield as soon as possible.
He didn't think much about it when he left the message, but to his surprise, the owner of the park actually replied to him.
A few days later, when he came into the park again, he saw the hotel. He was so excited that he immediately paid for a single room for 7 days and became the first guest of the hotel.
He originally thought that all the hotels in the park were the same, but he didn't expect that when he just went in to sleep, the portraits on the wall emitted a strange light.
This time his sleep was even deeper than the one on the slope. When he woke up again, he felt like he had slept a lot. His body felt comfortable and he was full of energy.
He suddenly felt that the money he spent on this hotel was not wasted.
I guess his value will drop further after leaving the hotel.
The joy he felt was beyond words. In order not to waste every second in the park, he packed up and prepared to go out and play while there was still some time before the park closed.
As a result, when he just came down, he met the receptionist, and the girl warmly invited him in for dinner.
Zhou Song was a little confused.
It is a very common phenomenon to see food in theme parks. Among the theme parks he has visited before, some sold nutrient solutions right in the park, and some parks directly replicated some strange and bizarre plants on the planet in the park, allowing tourists to enjoy the taste of plants from other planets without leaving home.
Although the taste is hard to describe, it is welcomed by many people. Some people even go to the park out of curiosity just to taste the strange plants.
Zhou Song didn't have this habit, but being stared at by the girl like that, he thought about it and decided to go in anyway.
He wanted to see just how weird the food in this paradise was.
Entering the dining area, he looked around and finally followed the instructions to the window, where he found a lot of food he had never seen before.
Each plate filled with food had a label on it, and he looked at them one by one.
Steamed buns, dumplings, fried dough sticks, soy milk, black rice porridge...
They were all food names he had never heard of before, and he was a little at a loss.
Just then, a voice came from behind.
"Each dish has a price and a plate next to it. You can put the food on the plate first, then choose the food you like and pay at the end."
He turned his head and saw that the person coming was Song Yuxing who had just returned.
The girl explained very carefully and Zhou Song understood it immediately. He picked up the plate beside him and looked at the food in confusion.
Song Yuxing came to his side and took the initiative to recommend: "For dinner, I suggest you get a bowl of knife-cut noodles. If you are thirsty, you can also get a cup of soy milk. However, soy milk and fried dough sticks are usually eaten together in the morning. If you can eat it, I suggest you get the fried dough sticks as well."
After hearing her talk about the three foods, Zhou Song quietly took them and found a seat to sit down.
Because it was freshly placed, all the food was hot.
Zhou Song stared at the bowl of knife-cut noodles in front of him. The hot steam and the aroma of the food rushed into his nose. It was difficult to describe the taste because he had never encountered such food before.
He picked up the chopsticks next to him clumsily, and after a while of getting used to it, he reluctantly picked up one and put it carefully into his mouth.
The next second, his eyes widened.
The rich flavor of the sauce spreads from the tip of the tongue to the entire mouth. The noodles are long and wide, and very chewy when chewed. Each noodle is soaked in the flavor of the soup base. Chopped green onions are occasionally sprinkled on the noodles, and you can taste the fresh green onion flavor when you eat it.
The knife-cut noodles, which are made from a combination of various flavors, taste simply amazing.
Zhou Song was stunned when he ate knife-cut noodles for the first time.
He felt as if he had opened the door to a new world, and it was as if fireworks were exploding in his mouth, and his sense of taste reached its peak at this moment.
How come it’s so delicious? ! ! !
He kept eating, one snack after another. Song Yuxing watched him from the side and felt that he was so hungry that his eyes were glowing green.
Thinking of the taste of the nutrient solution, she looked at him with an expression of pity and sympathy.
Poor child, he must have eaten so many disgusting things before.
Look how hungry the child is, what a poor thing.
Ancestor Song thought silently in his heart.
And somehow, when she watched him eat, she felt hungry too.
Why not go out for another meal?
Song Yuxing fell into deep thought.
But she didn't have time to think about it, because other people in the hotel began to come to the dining area one after another.
The second person to discover this place was Lu Zefeng.
Because he wasn't live streaming, he looked a little unkempt, and walked over with a messy hair.
He saw the food on Zhou Song's plate and looked confused.
"What's this?"
"Food, what else?" Song Yuxing said with a smile.
Lu Zefeng exclaimed "Ah" and pointed at the bowl of strange-looking thing that Zhou Song was eating.
He couldn't believe it and said, "Is this food? Is this a newly developed nutrient solution?"
He was as curious as a child, and Song Yuxing was rarely speechless.
"How do you know this is nutrient solution? It's called knife-cut noodles, okay? The food is over there at the window. If you want to eat, go get your plate and take the food. Just remember to pay after you take it."
Lu Zefeng immediately ran to the window, and the dazzling array of food made him exclaim "Wow".
He also took three servings of food. In addition to the staple food of knife-cut noodles, the other two were steamed buns and black rice porridge.
Song Yuxing reminded: "If you can't finish the food, you will be fined. Don't waste food."
Although this thing was built by her, the people of Hua couldn't bear to see food being wasted, so she posted a rule on the wall early in the morning that wasting food would result in a fine.
Lu Zefeng snorted lightly, "It's not a big portion, don't worry, I will definitely finish it."
After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, then showed the same expression as Zhou Song.
Holy shit, this is so damn delicious.
His hands seemed to have their own consciousness, constantly picking up food. He hadn't finished eating the food in his mouth in the previous second, and the next second his mouth was close to the chopsticks to continue stuffing food.
Not only these two people, but also the people who came later repeated the same expressions and actions.
The dining area was gradually filled with people. Some people couldn't even find a seat, but they were unwilling to give up the delicious food and simply bought food and ate it standing up.
Occasionally, various exclamations were heard from the crowd.
"Fuck, this bun is so delicious! Look, there's something inside."
"Tsk, I think black rice porridge is the best. It tastes sweet."
"I think knife-cut noodles are the most delicious. These are noodles, right? They're so chewy, and every strand is soaked in soup. I feel warm all over after eating them."
"You guys are arguing about which food is the best. I think Huaxia Paradise is amazing. They can come up with all these foods. I like every single one of them. I feel like after eating all the food here, I might never be able to eat nutrient solution again."
"Compared to the food here, the nutrient solution is just a bunch of shit."
"Stop talking. I'm already doubting what I ate before."
…
Listening to the praises coming from all directions, Song Yuxing smiled with her eyes curved.
It seems that everyone is very accepting of delicious food.
As expected, as a descendant of a flower-growing family, her love for food is in her blood, otherwise how could they eat so much that they can't even lift their heads up.
“It’s delicious.”
Zhou Song, who finished eating first, put down his chopsticks. Although he still had a blank expression, a look of satisfaction was revealed in his eyes.
Zhou Song felt more and more that he had made the right decision to come to this paradise. He coughed lightly and suddenly looked up at Song Yuxing.
"Excuse me, this person..."
Zhou Song, who didn't know the name of the girl in front of him, was suddenly stuck.
He changed his approach, "Excuse me, young lady, how many times a day are these foods provided?"
Song Yuxing thought for a moment and said, "For guests in single and double rooms, this meal is only served once a day, between 7:30 and 8:30 in the morning. As for guests in deluxe rooms, this meal is served three times a day."
After she finished speaking, Zhou Song immediately said, "Then can I pay to upgrade the room I'm staying in to a deluxe room?"
When he said this, Lu Zefeng, who was still eating next to him, also quickly raised his hand.
"Yeah, I want that too." He said vaguely with food still in his mouth.
"Of course." Song Yuxing agreed with a smile.
She reminded them, "But you have to think carefully. There are three tickets for the deluxe room, and all three are valid on the same day. I suggest you find two more people to play with you, otherwise the tickets will be wasted."
Judging from her tone, she seemed to welcome others to the park.
Zhou Song pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Can I ask if those two tickets can be given as gifts?"
Song Yuxing nodded, "Of course."
Zhou Song nodded slightly, and several names flashed through his mind quickly. After a while, he met the girl's eyes.
"Could you please transfer my tickets to two other people?"
He revealed the two people's IDs on StarNet. Since they were not their real names, there was no requirement for confidentiality.
Song Yuxing pulled out the main panel of the park, and two tickets appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Zhou Song looked at her in surprise.
Song Yuxing didn't see it. She lowered her head and filled in the two people's IDs on the ticket. After filling it in, the two tickets disappeared in an instant.
Then Lu Zefeng also mentioned two IDs.
After finishing it, Song Yuxing clapped his hands and smiled as if he had accomplished something.
She looked at the time and it was already late.
Feeling sleepy, she yawned and stood up to say goodbye.
"I have to go now. See you next time."
"Thank you." Zhou Song paused for a moment, then said word by word: "Ms. 007."
