Chapter 61 Dispute
When Rong Yuan woke up, he was back on Earth. He rubbed his eyes, stretched his shoulders which were a little sore from his sleeping position, and asked Wandou, "What time is it?"
As he spoke, he looked out the window. The sky was full of red clouds, as bright as fire. In the distance, there was a hint of crimson, with the edges dotted with gold.
The pea standing on the operating table said, "Sugar Country time, February 3, 18:23:06 p.m., May I remind you that you have not eaten for seventy hours, and the last time you drank water was thirty-seven hours ago."
"I know." Rong Yuan also felt very hungry. When he was on the moon, he had always ignored his own physiological needs, resulting in his body constantly communicating the need to replenish energy and water. He looked at the outline of the tall buildings below the aircraft and asked, "Where are we now?"
"We are currently above City S. Should we land?" said Pea.
But Rong Yuan shook his head and rejected it, saying: "No, not here. Let's go back to City A and find a suitable place for us to go down." The so-called "suitable place" is a place where there is no one around and no surveillance cameras, and at the same time, no one would find it strange if Rong Yuan appeared there.
"But don't you still need to continue training in City S?" Pea was a little confused. City A had no unfinished business. After returning, it would take time and effort to go back to City S. Isn't it a waste of time? Although it felt strange, it immediately controlled the shuttle to fly back to City A.
Rong Yuan said, "Have you forgotten? I once went back to City A to look for Parasa Brut. The Railway Department has a record of me buying a ticket to go there, but if there is no record of me coming back, then wouldn't it be very suspicious that I appeared in City S?"
Wandou immediately volunteered: "But I can delete the record of your ticket purchase."
"You can delete the electronic records, but can you delete the memories of all the passengers and station staff who have seen me?" Rong Yuan said, "There is no need to risk being noticed by someone in the future just to save a little trouble. You have to pay attention to these things for me in the future."
"yes."
Not long after, Yusuo landed on the roof of a tall building in City A. Rong Yuan put the space suit he had changed into in the storage compartment inside the aircraft, jumped off the lift with Wandou, and ordered Yusuo to rise to the synchronous orbit, then temporarily shut down the power and fly around the earth, waiting for the next instruction.
Rong Yuan watched Yu Shuttle rise into the sky after it became invisible again. The surging air current blew his hair into a mess. In the western sky, a crescent moon like an eyebrow hung obliquely.
Craters, cracks, caves full of gems, ice chambers, mysterious ancients who died on the moon... The past two days were just like a dream. This time, the preparations were not sufficient, the trip was rushed, and there were not many places to explore. The next time he went to the moon, he must explore the place thoroughly.
Rong Yuan went down through the emergency passage of the building. Pea turned back into headphones and whispered to Rong Yuan about the place where they landed.
City A is a modern metropolis with a large population. It is not easy to find a suitable landing location in such a city. The building where Rong Yuan is now is a comprehensive shopping mall. All the shops below the tenth floor are rented out. Above the tenth floor, there are various cram schools, beauty salons, escape game rooms, indoor children's playgrounds, fitness centers, etc., and there is also a movie theater. The composition of the people coming and going is complex and the flow of people is large. It can be said that anyone can appear here.
Nowadays, people generally prefer to wait for half an hour in front of the elevator door rather than take the stairs, so Rong Yuan was the only one in the emergency passage. Although the building was 28 stories high, his physical strength was much different from before, and he easily got down to the first floor in a very short time.
Stepping out of the dimly lit doorway, the hustle and bustle hit him, and he felt like he had suddenly entered a different world. Rong Yuan looked around, and there were always many food stores near places like this. He put on his glasses and quickly spotted a small restaurant with excellent hygiene and few customers.
This shop is really small, probably a family-run shop, with a string of wind chimes hanging on the door. Rong Yuan pushed the door open and entered, and saw only six small dining tables on both sides, all polished, the floor was mirror-clear, the walls were painted white, and there were several mouth-watering pictures of vegetables and fruits hanging on the walls. The overall cleanliness, simplicity and elegance gave people a very good feeling. But in the whole shop, except for Rong Yuan who had just entered, there was only a young couple who were obviously tourists from other places and a little girl of four or five years old eating.
Hearing the sound of wind chimes, a middle-aged woman in a light pink apron came over hurriedly, with a forced smile on her face, and asked, "Hello, what would you like to eat?"
Rong Yuan glanced at the menu on the table and said, "A bowl of wonton soup."
"Okay, wait a moment, it will be right up." The middle-aged woman announced the menu to the kitchen, then took a transparent glass from the disinfection cabinet and placed it on Rong Yuan's table, and then brought a kettle to pour him a cup of tea. Rong Yuan scanned it and found that the cup and tea were very clean, without any detergent residue or any unnecessary additives.
Rong Yuan was a little curious. You know, it was lunchtime, and the restaurants nearby were almost full. Some restaurants even had many people waiting in line. This restaurant had a great location, good service, and good hygiene. Judging from the family eating there, the food should taste good, but it was so quiet. It really shouldn't be like this.
But after all, it had nothing to do with him, so he was only curious for a moment and then didn't take it to heart.
Rong Yuan picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. It was red date tea, with a faint sweet aroma of dates. The water flowed into his mouth, moistening his dry throat and stomach. His body had been dehydrated for a long time. Although he was very thirsty, he restrained himself from drinking in big gulps. Instead, he took a sip, held it in his mouth for a while, and then swallowed it slowly in several times, so that the thirsty body cells could fully absorb the water.
The wontons he ordered were served quickly, a big bowl full of food, emitting an alluring aroma. Rong Yuan scooped up a wonton with a white porcelain spoon, blew it cool and took a bite. The fresh flavors of fresh meat, seaweed, cabbage, coriander and dried shrimp mixed together, the color, aroma and taste were all good, and he finished most of the bowl without even noticing it. The couple over there finally finished their meal while feeding their child and were ready to pay the bill and leave.
The wind chimes at the door suddenly rang, and five or six teenagers, who were wearing their clothes askew, shirts outside their sweaters, and silver-black skulls around their necks, walked in. Rong Yuan took a look and turned back to continue eating.
The middle-aged woman who was about to come out to greet the guests after hearing the noise suddenly changed her expression when she saw the person coming. She shouted in a trembling voice, "His father, his father."
"What's wrong?" A short fat man holding a spatula came out. Seeing the group of people at the door, his face turned ugly and he asked, "We already gave you the money last time. What are you doing here again?"
"Don't be so fierce, people who don't know will think we are bullying you, uncle~" the leading boy with three or four gold rings on his ears said in a long voice with a playful smile. Ever since the TV series from the neighboring Kimchi country became popular in the Sugar Country, the title of "uncle" has inexplicably become popular.
The man's hand holding the spatula trembled, and he looked like he wanted to hit the teenagers on the head with it, but he held back and asked through gritted teeth: "What do you want to do?"
"Let's eat." The group of teenagers swaggered and sat down at a few tables. The boy with the golden ring leaned back in his chair and said in a deliberately uncouth tone, "Uncle, you run a restaurant, and we are guests who come to eat. Why, it's not okay?"
"You are not welcome in my shop, get out!" the man roared in a low voice.
"Oh, I'm so scared! It's so scary! This store is bullying customers!" The boy with the golden ring shouted loudly. A boy with green hair next to him immediately covered his stomach and lay on the table, shouting in a fake voice: "Ah... My stomach hurts... My stomach hurts so much..."
The people around immediately started talking at once: "Oh, you may have gotten food poisoning from eating here last time, but you haven't recovered yet? Why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
The short and fat man's expression became increasingly unsightly, and he watched their performance with flaming eyes.
After the green-haired boy cried out "Ouch, ouch" for a while, the boy with the golden ring said, "Uncle, you haven't forgotten, have you? He got sick because he ate something dirty in your store. We don't want you to pay for it, but you should pay for him to go to the hospital for a checkup, right?"
The middle-aged
"That's it? Okay! I'm fine!" The boy with the golden ring patted the green-haired boy's shoulder and said, "But my brother's body says it's not okay. It hurts here and there... As consumers who have been hurt both physically and mentally, it is our legitimate right to claim compensation from a black-hearted store like yours!"
"You...how could you do this?" The middle-aged woman was so angry that her face turned pale and she trembled all over as she said, "You are just talking nonsense. You are blackmailing me like this...be careful or we will call the police. It won't do you any good!"
"Oh, you're threatening me, you think I was scared!" The boy with the golden ring tilted his neck and said, "Call the police! Call the police! Let the police decide who's right and who's wrong! The evidence that you used expired meat to cook is still in Skynet! Everyone in City A knows it."
——Skynet?
Rong Yuan, who was stuffing the last dumpling into his mouth, was stunned when he heard this. Could it be... his "Skynet"?
The shop owner and his wife seemed to have been hit in the foot and were speechless. The tourist couple looked at them suspiciously, picked up their daughter and looked at her worriedly, then put the money for the food on the table and left in a hurry, whispering that they would take their daughter to the hospital for a check-up before leaving.
The shop owner and his wife had bitter looks on their faces, and all their previous anger was released like a punctured balloon.
At this time, Rong Yuan, who was still drinking soup, stood out.
The short fat man came over and said, "Little brother, we have something to do. We won't take your money . Please leave now."
"Whether they leave or not is my business. We are open for business. Do you still want to chase customers away?" Rong Yuan asked back.
"Wow, you're quite brave! Hey, boy, do you know who I am?" The young man with the golden ring was very indignant. He felt that his authority was challenged, so he walked over to let the man know his methods.
Rong Yuan put down the bowl and turned around. The young man with the golden ring staggered: "Rong, Rong Yuan?!" His expression showed more fear than shock.
Rong Yuan was surprised: "Do you know me?"
