Chapter 596
by Noor01Chapter 596: Let Me Show You Something
After returning to Mirror City and settling the various beastman tribes.
Matters related to rewards had actually become easier and easier for Luo Ji.
The internal commerce of the Myriad Worlds Civilization was now extremely prosperous.
So in many cases, he only needed to directly reward people with money.
Of course, while the elephantmen and the wolfmen received monetary rewards, they were also given further opportunities to develop their tribal settlements.
The elephantmen would expand the scale of their tribal camp.
As for the wolfmen, they were now able to directly build a city.
In short, all these matters were first put onto the agenda.
Without a doubt, the construction department of the Myriad Worlds Civilization, which had not even finished its previous projects, suddenly had 2 new ones added.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Walking along the streets of Mirror City, Hu Jie looked strangely at the pedestrians coming and going.
These people were completely different from the humans in his memories.
In his impression, humans were weak and fragile.
Just standing there was enough to make a large group of humans tremble in fear.
And the looks those humans gave him were always filled with terror.
But now, these people neither avoided him nor feared him.
Although they kept looking at him, their eyes were filled only with curiosity.
This feeling was far too strange.
Hu Jie had to admit that during this period of time, his worldview had been constantly overturned by this so-called “Myriad Worlds Civilization.”
Before this, he had never imagined calmly walking side by side with a human on a street full of people.
“Why are they not afraid of me?”
Filled with confusion, Hu Jie finally asked the question.
Hearing this, Luo Yong, walking beside him, tilted his head.
Then he sized Hu Jie up from head to toe.
“Why should they be afraid of someone whose entire body is wrapped in bandages?”
“……”
In fact, Hu Jie was currently wrapped layer upon layer in bandages, almost like a mummy.
It looked as if he had been run over by a carriage 3 or 4 times.
There was really a lack of intimidation.
Of course, it was not that he was completely not scary.
It was just that the people of the Myriad Worlds Civilization had already grown used to the presence of beastmen.
If someone made a big fuss just from seeing a beastman on the street.
Others would instead think that person was strange.
“You should get used to it earlier. Under His Majesty’s rule, humans, goblins, and beastmen in the Myriad Worlds Civilization have always coexisted.”
“Goblins?”
“They are those short green-skinned ones.”
As he spoke, Luo Yong pointed in a certain direction.
“Those.”
There were now quite a lot of goblins within Mirror City.
They could basically be seen everywhere.
While Luo Yong was speaking, several goblins drove horse-drawn carts past them.
At a glance, Hu Jie quickly recalled those little figures.
But his feelings became even more complicated.
Everything before him was beyond his imagination and beyond his understanding.
“Then what about this? What is this used for?”
As he asked, Hu Jie shook the stack of paper in his hand.
After glancing at it, Luo Yong said.
“That is called money notes. They are used to buy things.”
These money notes were rewards Luo Ji had given him.
After all, Hu Jie had indeed earned merit in subduing the tigermen.
However, upon hearing this, Hu Jie looked completely confused.
Alright.
This guy did not even have the concept of buying things yet.
Luo Yong had never been someone particularly good with words.
Just explaining it verbally, he felt he could not make it clear.
So he simply asked instead.
“Is there anything you want right now?”
“Something I want?”
Hearing this question, Hu Jie froze for a moment.
At that exact moment, a very pleasant smell drifted over.
Following his beastman instincts, Hu Jie subconsciously sniffed.
Then his stomach growled loudly.
He was hungry.
“I want food.”
Hearing this, Luo Yong turned his head and glanced at the roadside.
They were passing by Kaifeng Fried Chicken.
He could also smell the fried chicken aroma coming from the shop.
“Follow me.”
Without hesitation, he directly led Hu Jie inside.
They were lucky.
The time was afternoon, not a meal hour.
Otherwise, there would almost certainly have been a line.
People’s enthusiasm for fried chicken had still not faded.
No one knew how many poultry farm owners and workers were supported by the fried chicken and burgers sold here every day.
“Ten deluxe burgers.”
After saying that, Luo Yong gestured for Hu Jie to hand over a money note.
The 10 burgers were quickly prepared.
Pointing at the stacked burgers, Luo Yong turned to Hu Jie behind him.
“See. This is how you buy food.”
After speaking, Luo Yong picked one up, unwrapped the greasy paper, and took a big bite.
Then he spoke while eating.
“You paid for it. Eat too.”
Already tempted by the aroma, Hu Jie was naturally not going to be polite.
Opening his mouth, a burger that took Luo Yong 3 or 4 bites to finish was stuffed entirely into Hu Jie’s mouth in a single bite.
After chewing a few times, Hu Jie’s eyes immediately lit up.
“This. This…”
“Burger.”
Luo Yong reminded him casually while eating.
“Yes. This burger is delicious! Better than roasted meat!”
As he spoke, Hu Jie stuffed another burger into his mouth.
“Better than roasted meat? That just means you have no experience.”
While speaking, Luo Yong finished his burger and wiped the corner of his mouth.
“The stuff you ate before does not count as real roasted meat. Come on. I will show you the barbecue of our Myriad Worlds Civilization.”
Luo Yong was not wandering around eating and drinking with Hu Jie for no reason.
Luo Ji had instructed him to help Hu Jie adapt to life in the Myriad Worlds Civilization.
As for how to adapt, he started with food.
First, Hu Jie needed to understand how to buy food.
That way, he would not starve.
As long as he was not starving, he would be less likely to cause trouble.
Other things could be learned slowly.
At this moment, Hu Jie clearly did not believe that barbecue could be better than burgers.
Before leaving, he bought another 15 burgers to eat along the way.
As a result, a strange scene was born.
A tigerman wrapped head to toe in bandages, holding a pile of burgers enough for an ordinary person to eat for several days, eating one by one while walking down the street.
This was far more eye-catching than before.
It could practically be called a spectacle.
After that, a wide variety of barbecue left Hu Jie with a mouth full of grease.
At the same time, it once again refreshed his worldview.
Everything about this Myriad Worlds Civilization was too strange for him to understand.
But at least the food was truly delicious.
Just based on that alone, he had already started to like this place a little.
