Chapter 11 A Little Relaxation

  After a battle, although the final result was an embarrassing retreat, fortunately there was no loss. The strategy for the underground research institute needs to be postponed until the strength of the divine domain is complete.

  After working at a high intensity for many days, Xu Yi also wanted to go out and relax a little.

  After saying hello to Zheng Guihao in the Divine Realm Cabin, Xu Yi reserved an unmanned flying car through his mind and prepared to go out.

  The Blue Star Holy City uses a three-dimensional transportation network, relying on magnetic catapult shafts on the ground or on the roof of a building to flexibly change the number of floors that the flying car travels.

  Intersections with hundreds of lanes and real-time control by AI make rational use of high-altitude space, making it possible to bear the traffic pressure in this city with a population of 100 million.

  Xu Yi boarded the four-seater flying car from the parking spot on the 255th floor. He sat in the back seat, and the interior lights slowly lit up. In a slight airflow, the flying car started and sped forward. During the entire acceleration process, he did not even feel the slightest backward tilt.

  Driving into a circle of blue light, the magnetic ejection well suddenly launched the flying car into the predetermined flight track. With the excellent shock absorption effect of the flying car, Xu Yi, who was well prepared, only felt a little pressure on his eardrums. He swallowed his saliva, and the discomfort almost disappeared.

  Relying on the driving route calculated by AI, the flying car passed through the gap reserved between the building and the track and arrived at a square composed of low buildings on the east side of the Holy City. This is also one of the few places in the Holy City where you can directly see the sky even if the floors are less than 100.

  It is moored on the second floor of a high-rise building, and you can directly enter the building through the glass-top mooring passage.

  Outside the glass roof, one can also see the flying cars flashing by in the three-dimensional transportation network, as well as the transparent cylindrical magnetic catapult rail cars hovering between the high-rise buildings. Looking at it, Xu Yi can vaguely compare it to the public transportation called "light rail" before crossing.

  After walking through the passage, they arrived at the restaurant opened by Lao He. At this moment, Zheng Guihao, who had received a greeting from Xu Yi in the Divine Realm, was already sitting there enjoying a plate of fried shrimps.

  "Did you order the usual 4 taels of fried shrimp?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

  Zheng Guihao didn't even raise his head, chewing the fried shrimps one by one, making a "crunching" sound, enjoying the meal. The good thing about this shrimp dish is that you can eat it with the shell.

  "It's still four ounces, but it looks like a lot more than last time." Xu Yi sat down, took out a pair of wooden chopsticks that were rare in this era from the chopstick cage, picked up one and started eating.

  "That's because the shrimps are smaller this time, and the quality of Lao He's ingredients has also dropped." Zheng Guihao raised his fleshy hand, picked up the shrimp shell stuck between his teeth and said casually.

  Just then, Lao He brought a plate of fried eel shreds and tapped the little fat boy's head with his index finger in dissatisfaction:

  "What do you know, little brat? Fried shrimps should be eaten small."

  Zheng Guihao looked up at Lao He with dissatisfaction, but did not refute. Although the fried shrimps were small, it did not affect the taste. The shrimp shells were still as crispy and the taste was still as sweet. It was still the same delicacy that you could never eat anywhere else.

  "I just ordered these two, you can order more if you want."

  Without even looking at the menu, Xu Yi casually tapped his fingernails on the round table and named two dishes: "Crystal Braised Pork Hoof, Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs, I want them cold. I know you have two sweet and sour spare ribs, but the hot ones are not as delicious as the cold ones, and the flour is too thick."

  After writing down two fancy words on a piece of paper that only he could understand, the old man glanced at Xu Yi from the side, which made Xu Yi's smile unable to be suppressed and turned into an awkward smile.

  Lao He was also a demigod on the front line of the middle ring of the star ring. When the outer ring was broken, the high-level officials of Blue Star almost risked their lives to fight their way up. Lao He's divine domain was recruited, and he fought until the divine domain was destroyed and the core of the divine domain dissipated.

  After returning to the Holy City, he chose the commercial housing item from the military's compensation, which led to the restaurant he runs now.

  He is the sole manager of the restaurant, including the chefs and waiters. Most of the people who know this place are old diners who have been here for more than ten years. Xu Yi has been a regular customer of this restaurant since he was a child, following his parents to eat out. This is how he became so familiar with Lao He.

  After saying a lot of nice things, Lao He was finally appeased because he was angry that the noodles were too thick. Fortunately, they came at a time when it was not meal time, and there were no other guests in the restaurant except their table.

  The dishes were quickly served, and the two chatted casually over the food. When talking about the recent situation in the Divine Realm, Xu Yi complained with a hint of depression:

  "I lost a lot in the recent battle."

  "What's wrong?" The fat man stopped cutting meat with chopsticks and looked over.

  "Alas, I didn't pay attention at first. The fight was too noisy and attracted seven third-level creatures."

  "Damn, 7 third-level creatures, brother, how did you survive?" Zheng Guihao was a little confused, but after years of friendship, he had no doubts about Xu Yi's words.

  "We killed one, and the others retreated."

  "That's awesome." Zheng Guihao couldn't help but think about what would happen if he encountered this scene with a group of harpies, and then said sincerely.

  "Destroying more than 20,000 believers is a bit damaging." Xu Yi smiled bitterly.

  "It's a small matter. I can recover before the end of the semester. In which time domain did your divine realm descend?"

  "24:1 time domain." Xu Yi picked up a piece of shredded eel with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It was so tender with a hint of sweetness that he couldn't help but praise it.

  "Don't panic. There is still more than a week until the end of the semester, which means you still have half a year to prepare when you enter the Divine Realm. Not bad, I heard that Du Yuanfei is also in the 24:1 time domain. Maybe you two are neighbors." Zheng Guihao showed an ambiguous look.

  "Come on." Xu Yi had a helpless look on his face. The environment around his divine domain was full of dangers. He still remembered the small black forest that he first noticed when he first arrived in the divine domain. The threat he felt was much greater than the ugly giant he caught a glimpse of at the last moment.

  "However, this final exam is a joint exam, and it is much more difficult than in the past. We really need to prepare well." Seeing that Xu Yi did not respond, the fat man quickly changed the subject and dropped a "breaking news".

  The joint examination is a unified examination among the six middle schools in Wuhu District where Xu Yi and Zheng Guihao are located. Wuhu No. 2 Middle School ranks in the middle among them, while No. 1 Middle School and No. 3 Middle School are the strongest.

  The final exam of the second year of high school is a hurdle that cannot be avoided, commonly known as the "final exam". The third year of high school is the time to make a full sprint to develop the divine realm. The ranking of the final exam also affects the supply of school resources that can be obtained in the third year of high school.

  The four dishes were quickly swept away by the two of them. There are not many places where you can enjoy such a handmade meal these days.

  After the meal, a free fruit plate was served, which only contained four orange slices cut for them as a symbolic gesture.

  "Tsk, Lao He is getting more and more stingy, and he won't let me speak." The little fat boy muttered.

  Xu Yi suddenly seemed to remember something:

  "Would you lend me 80,000 faith points?"

  Zheng Guihao was stunned: "What are you going to do?"

  "I... used it to top up 648..."

  Zheng Guihao: "…"

  …
