'I became a team leader just like that, what's the urgency...' Zhou Chen said inwardly.
Time passed quickly. They returned to the exploration team building in the city.
As soon as they returned, Teresa gave him a small black card.
"This is an access card from our Paradise City. It has many uses, such as identification, shopping, communication, and so on. Your Paradise dollars are inside as well."
"Okay." Zhou Chen took the small card and rubbed it with his fingers. He felt that although the surface of the card was small, it was quite dense. The internal structure should be quite complex.
This city was called Paradise City and its currency was called Paradise dollars. The money could only be used to buy things here and was not recognized in other settlement areas.
This was the current situation of this world. The people were divided into factions and did not have a common currency. They usually exchanged items for items.
With this access card, Zhou Chen could be said to have obtained the recognition of Teresa and other natives of this city.
"Time to eat." At this moment, Teresa had already left to deal with other matters. Since Zhou Chen did not have anything urgent to do, he planned to replenish his energy.
He could actually rely on the sunlight to solve the food problem, but it was not as fast or satisfying as eating food.
After passing through a corridor and turning a corner, he pulled open a curtain and arrived at the cafeteria.
He then said to a young waiter standing in the cafeteria counter, "Five steaks and three plates of vegetable salads."
However, the young waiter did not go to the back to get the dishes like last time. Instead, he replied to Zhou Chen with a slightly apologetic tone, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry. There's not enough steak in the canteen at the moment. I can only provide you with three portions, and only two plates of vegetable salads are left."
"Oh?" Zhou Chen couldn't help but frown slightly. Soon, through this person's uneasy expression, he determined that it was not that this person was unwilling to give him food, but that the food supply was really insufficient.
"Alright, bring them here."
Zhou Chen once again realized that this world was a wasteland that had experienced a disaster. Although the technology here seemed to be quite advanced, there were problems with food production. He could not even have his fill.
After waiting in the cafeteria for a while, the waiter came with the fragrant steaks. While Zhou Chen was enjoying the food, a cute blonde girl walked over to his table.
Or more accurately, it was a cute female robot with short blond hair.
"Commander, Lucy reports, " the intelligent robot, who did not look much different from a human girl, bowed slightly and said with a smile.
"Lucy, you are fixed already? Congratulations!"
Zhou Chen had been engrossed in eating and had thought that it was an unfamiliar robot based on his perception. Now that he looked up, he realized that it was the robot girl he had rescued from the trash.
She was no longer in the sorry state she had been in when they first met. Her body was intact and beautiful. She was wearing a combat suit that gave her a heroic spirit. She looked both beautiful and strong.
"Sit, do you want to eat something?" Zhou Chen invited her to sit down and made a joke.
"I've brought food." However, Lucy did not think that he was joking. She took out a few battery-like things from her pocket and threw them into her mouth before swallowing them.
"..." Zhou Chen was speechless. He felt that this blonde robot was ruining her good image.
"Commander, I came here to return to the team and become your exploration team member, " after Lucy quickly replenished her energy, she said to Zhou Chen.
"Alright, you're very welcome to join my team." Zhou Chen was not surprised because Teresa had mentioned this before. After Lucy was repaired, she would become his team member.
"Lucy, can you tell me about your previous encounter?" Zhou Chen was somewhat interested in this. He wanted to know what had happened to her team.
"Sorry, Commander, there's a problem with Lucy's memory module. My memory of that time has basically been lost." However, a blank look flashed across Lucy's eyes, and she was unable to answer Zhou Chen's question.
"Is that so? Forget it." Zhou Chen knew that those memories were definitely not pleasant. Since Lucy said that she had forgotten, he did not probe further."By the way, you should call me Captain in the future. It's not appropriate to call me Commander."
Even the two robots did not call Teresa Commander. Just hearing Lucy call him that made him have some strange thoughts.
"Yes, Commander! No... Captain!" Lucy answered immediately.
'She really is like a human, even making such a mistake. ' Zhou Chen could not help but feel amused. He then asked Lucy, "Did Teresa tell you about our next mission?"
He had to schedule his plans according to the time of the mission.
"Captain, the head captain didn't mention the details of the next mission. She asked you to take a day off."
'Hmm, then it's a temporary holiday. ' Zhou Chen thought for a moment. 'I will use this time to train... I can also take care of the cultivation of the Card Creator...'
Zhou Chen's current ways to increase his strength was not only limited to killing monsters and obtaining new passive skills. Training martial arts and Card Creator cultivation were also very important to him, especially training martial arts. He was determined to walk this path to the end and try to reach the Martial Dao Human Immortal realm.
"Lucy, I plan to find a place to train in the wasteland. Do you want to come with me?" Zhou Chen felt that this girl was quite interesting and made a polite remark.
"Training? Great! Captain, Lucy wants to train too!" Unexpectedly, Lucy did not understand Zhou Chen's intention. Instead, she excitedly expressed her desire to follow him.
'This girl doesn't seem to have a high IQ, ' Zhou Chen said inwardly.
"Alright, my training is very boring. You have to be prepared."
Zhou Chen did not care that this girl was going to watch him train because he was the only one who understood the concept of cultivation methods in this world. Moreover, the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art he cultivated was not something that could be learned just by looking at someone training in it.
The true core of the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art was in the jade slip. It was a complete set of complicated and profound cultivation methods. No matter how talented someone was, they would never be able to even initiate into it just by watching Zhou Chen meditate and train its moves..
