Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 94: Chapter 39 Special Free-of-Charge Promotion (Seeking Investment and Followers)

It turned out that Lin Su’s worries were indeed superfluous.

The strategic class transport aircraft they took this time was far superior in terms of safety compared to the civil aviation class aircraft they took before, and not only that, the speed of the two was worlds apart.

District 11 and District 1 might have only been 10 numbers apart, but the straight-line distance between the two safe zones was a full two thousand kilometers.

Such a distance was easily covered in half an hour by the strategic class transport aircraft, with its near ten times the speed of sound.

That even included the time for boarding.

The seat hadn’t even gotten warm yet when Lin Su surprisingly discovered that he had arrived.

“How’s that? I told you there was nothing to worry about,” Qin Nan said with a smile, patting Lin Su on the back as they walked out of the boarding gate.

“Hmm…” Lin Su nodded absently, his eyes wide as he looked at the bustling sights of District 1.

In his mind, District 11 was already a very prosperous safe zone, but the District 1 before him was far more bustling, with hundred-meter tall buildings rising one after another, numerous floating cars moving orderly above the skyscrapers, neon lights and various holographic projections of advertisements flashing between the building facades, and countless people streaming through the streets.

“Sister Nan, where are we heading now?”

“Someone’s coming to pick us up,” yawned Qin Nan, pointing to a group of young people not far ahead holding a sign with “Mountain City University” written on it. “There they are, just follow them. Don’t worry, the organizers will take care of our accommodation during the competition days.”

“So we start the breeding results competition tomorrow. Are there any activities today?”

Qin Nan walked quickly towards the youths with the sign, looked back at Lin Su with an expectant look, and chuckled, “Don’t worry, there’s nothing on today. You’re visiting District 1 for the first time, right? Once we put our luggage away at the hotel, you can go out and have fun on your own.”

“Great!” Lin Su nodded vigorously, he had been waiting for Qin Nan to say that!

It was not every day he got to visit such a bustling safe zone, and he had to tour around.

…

“Phew! I’m exhausted.” Lin Su put down his numerous packages, sat on a bench by the street, casually accepted a disposable cup of water handed to him by a service robot, and after thanking it, he drank the water in one gulp.

“Mew! (｡òωó｡)” (I want some too!)

“Alright, alright.” After drinking a cup of water, Lin Su was somewhat revitalized. He petted Qiuqiu, who was resting on his head, and asked the service robot for another cup of water which he placed next to the bench.

Qiuqiu daintily landed on the bench, lapped up the water with small sips, looking quite content.

After leaving his luggage at the hotel, Lin Su headed out to stroll around the streets.

Perhaps deliberately arranged by the organizers, the area where the hotel was situated happened to be the busiest shopping district in District 1. Lin Su bought quite a few things he wanted, such as Xue Henqing themed T-shirts, Xue Henqing figurines, and so on, his arms full with bags as he came back quite satisfied.

“Qiuqiu, let’s go have a big meal!” Lin Su looked at Qiuqiu, who had finished drinking, stacked the two empty cups and handed them to a service robot that approached, and giggled, “It’s a celebration for taking first place in the Spirit Handler competition.”

“Mew!” (Big meal!)

“Let me check…” Lin Su pulled out his communicator to search the nearby food forums while Qiuqiu hopped into his arms, big ice-blue eyes staring at the screen.

“Mew!” (I want to go to this one!)

Suddenly, Qiuqiu tapped the screen with a paw, and quickly the details of a restaurant came into view for both of them.

“Cold Food Restaurant…” Lin Su blinked, “The name is quite interesting.”

He remembered that “Cold Food” was a traditional festival from the ancient days before the catastrophe. It was unexpected to see someone use it as a restaurant name.

After quickly browsing through the restaurant’s menu, Lin Su couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, feeling… the food looked so tempting!

Although the price was a bit steep, considering it was to celebrate the victory in the Spirit Handler competition and Qiuqiu could evolve in the Nirvana Pool, Lin Su decided to splurge.

“You little rascal sure know how to choose,” Lin Su turned off the communicator, petting Qiuqiu’s head, “Let’s go then, we’ll eat at that place!”

“Mew! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ” (Yay!)

…

The Cold Food Restaurant was not far from where they were, and soon after arriving, with the waiter’s help, Lin Su temporarily left his bags in the cloakroom, then picked up the menu on the table to discuss what to order with Qiuqiu.

“How about this crispy pork belly? It smells so good!”

“Mew!” (Want to eat!)

“And this… garlic butter shrimp, gosh these shrimps are as big as my forearm! Let’s try it.”

“Mew… (￣ω￣)” (Don’t want to eat with the shell…)

“No worries, I’ll peel it for you. Oh, they also have milk from the Blossom Cow, shall we get one each?”

“Mew!” (Yes!)

“This looks good too…”

They hunched over the menu together, and before long, they had ordered a fair bit of food. It didn’t take long for their rumbling stomachs to be appeased as the dishes arrived one after another.

Lin Su and Qiuqiu, now sitting opposite each other with a cute apron tied around its neck, looked at each other and began to savor the delicious meal.
