Last Totem Novel - Chapter 122

Chapter 122 Canteen
After sorting out his thoughts, Tie Zhan Bai opened his communicator and read through the materials of the academy. He looked at it for a long time and felt that there were too many materials. There were all sorts of things, and he would not be able to figure it out for a while. Thus, he contacted Alice and asked her to analyze the situation first before picking out the key points for him to see.

Not long after, Alice picked out some important information and sent it over the academy’s wireless network.

The academy has five locations to focus on: Cold Lake, Babylon Garden Avenue, Ares Hall, Ancient Arena, and the chaser apron.

Leng Hu was located on the south side of the academy and was the residence of the nobles. The houses there were all private properties with many guards. There were people patrolling 24 hours a day. Don’t go there if you don’t have anything to do.

The Garden Street of Babylon, located on the outskirts of Lake Cold, is home to the children of nobles, rich merchants and academics. Most of the houses there were rental, but Tie Zha was not familiar with them and did not understand the rules of Silver City. He did not go there as far as possible to reduce the possibility of conflict.

Ares Hall, also known as the Temple of Ares, is an ancient Greek-style beam-column building located in the center of the academy. It is the place where the academy issues missions and exchanges weapons. This is the key to future income. Alice suggests that the iron slag go there as soon as possible in order to understand the specific situation.

The Ancient Arena was located on the west side of Ares Hall. It was a large stadium. It could accommodate 70,000 people at the same time, with 62,000 permanent seats and 8,000 temporary seats. It was the place where the academy held various ceremonies, competitions, and performances.

Alice suggested that Tie Zha take a stroll sometime to familiarize herself with the environment. After all, there would be a school opening ceremony next Monday. However, according to what Alice had learned on the Internet, the academy had about 90,000 students, while the gymnasium could only accommodate 70,000. Apart from the teachers and staff, it was estimated that 30,000 students could not attend the opening ceremony.

Alice regretfully analyzed that the iron slag should be one of them. Tie Zha coldly snorted in response, indicating that he didn’t want it.

The chaser apron is the exclusive transportation hub of the academy. On assignment, students can rent aircraft to travel around the world.

After reading the information, it was already midnight. Tie Zha took a shower and fell asleep.

The next morning, he was woken up by the “beep” of the communicator. He opened it and saw that it was a broadcast message from the academy.

[Notice: Central Silver City Military Academy’s 3712 Year Opening Ceremony; Date: Dr3712-09-02; Location: Ancient Arena]

[Note: Students who have not received admission tickets, please stay in the public classroom to watch the live broadcast]

[Little Secretary of the Military Academy prompt: Admission tickets can be exchanged by credits ~ 1 point for the back seat, 2 points for the middle seat, 3 points for the front seat, 10 points for the VIP seat, there are 498 seats left ~ Hurry up and come!] ]

After reading the message, he scratched his hair, felt a little hungry, and got up. After some grooming, he changed into the clothes of the students and left the dormitory.

Not long after, he followed the communication device and found the canteen on Bamboo Cage Street. Yesterday, Qin Ke’er said that this dining hall was the biggest and cheapest dining hall in the academy.

The entrance of the dining hall was very small, but it was very big inside. It was tens of thousands of square meters, and there were long tables and benches made of stainless steel. At this moment, there were only a few scattered students eating in the dining hall. Tie Zha came to a row of food windows and looked at them one by one.

There are roughly three flavors of food here, representing the different dietary cultures of the three continents. The people of the Western Continent liked wheat bread, fried meat, cheese, cakes, and other foods; People in the Central Continent like to eat macaroni sticks, scones, smoked meat and sauces made from various fruits; Although the Far East Continent was barren, the people there were the most skilled in handling food. They liked to eat rice and all kinds of pasta. There were also more than twenty ways to cook food. There were the most varieties of dishes.

The Northern Wilderness Continent, where the iron slag was located, basically did not have its own food culture. Because there were very few ingredients produced locally, many of them were shipped from the outer continent, so the people of Northern Wilderness basically ate whatever they had and didn’t pay much attention to it. Iron slag grew up in the Northern Wilderness and was also a garbage collector, so he naturally ate everything.

After walking around, Tie Zha decided to try the Far East food first. He picked up a large stainless steel plate from the staff of the dining hall, made some rice, and went to the dining window. The one in charge of distributing the meals was a big-waisted 40-50-year-old aunt. She wore a white apron and a white work hat. She held a large spoon in her hand and stared at the iron slag with her arms crossed, as if the iron slag would take advantage of her carelessness to steal at any time.

“Young man, what do you want to eat?” The dining hall’s aunt asked in a rough voice.

After looking at it for a while, Tie Zha handed the plate to the meal window and said that he wanted oilseed vegetables and potato ribs. The dining hall’s aunt took the plate with one hand and raised the big spoon with the other. She scooped it up and scooped it up in one go! In an instant, a pile of green vegetables arrived on the plate.

Tie Zha couldn’t help but widen his eyes and sigh inwardly that his skill was truly perfect. In the next moment, the dining hall’s aunt waved her spoon again and picked up a large spoonful of braised pork ribs with potatoes. Looking at the large chunks of pork ribs, Tie Zha thought that the dining hall was not bad, and the three copper coins of meat dishes were not bad. Right at this moment, Auntie’s spoon lightly trembled and placed the potato ribs on the plate.

Tie Zha took the plate, swiped the magnetic card and paid for the meal with five copper coins. After paying, when he looked at the plate again, he discovered that there were only potatoes inside, and there was no trace of pork ribs at all!

This …

Just now, he had clearly seen a large spoonful of pork ribs, but why had they disappeared? He felt somewhat puzzled and turned around to take a look. The dining hall’s aunt stood with her hands crossed over her chest and her legs parted, her face indifferent. He looked at the food on the plate, then at his aunt, and decided not to ask.

Then, with a frown, he walked to the nearest long table and sat down. Until now, he still didn’t understand what had just happened. Why did a spoonful of pork ribs disappear in the blink of an eye?

After many days, he finally realized that the hand that Aunt Dining Hall had just revealed was called “Shaking Spoon”. With a slight tremble, the vegetarian food in the spoon can be left behind, and the meat food will naturally slide down …

If he didn’t understand, then he wouldn’t. This was his usual style. He quickly forgot about the episode and picked up the metal spoon to eat. Like most Northern Desolate people, Tie Zha did not require much food, as long as they could eat enough. It was precisely because of this that he ate compressed biscuits for several months without vomiting.

After lunch, Tie Zha put down the spoon, habitually wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then got up to leave.

At this moment, a male student with small glasses, fair skin, and a slightly plump figure stopped him and chattered a bunch of words.

“Hey, Bordeaux, Yuma Shibi, Teco Prett, vomiting to the point of watching the court.”

Tie Zha spread out his hands and shrugged, indicating that he did not understand. At this moment, although he appeared relaxed and casual on the surface, he was shocked in his heart. He didn’t understand this language, but he could tell from the other party’s pronunciation that this was a language unique to Silver City nobles! He had just arrived at school and didn’t know much about the rules, but he didn’t want to interact with these nobles.

“Yes, Horseback, Teco, yo, Prett, spit it out, Watch the court, Priscilla.” Eyeglasses tugged at the duck’s throat and said word for word.

“I don’t understand.” Tie Zha waved his hand. He looked at the white-skinned, somewhat foolish male student in front of him. He suddenly remembered how poor the Silver City nobles had to be to eat in the cafeteria of Bamboo Cage Street. When he thought of this, he immediately didn’t have any worries and turned around to leave.

“You have to put the plates in the cutlery collection box at the door before you can leave.” Seeing that Tie Zha was leaving, Eyeglasses hurriedly said in World/Common Language.

Tie Zha grinned and walked away without looking back. Little Glasses was so angry that she immediately shouted from behind.

“Deflated lid! Deflated lid!”

When they returned to the dormitory, the door was open and Tie Zha walked in. “Hello, my name is Huang Yu. Please take care of me when we meet for the first time,” said a skinny young man with brown hair and student clothes.

Tie Zha held the other party’s hand and introduced himself briefly, “My name is Zhang Tie. I’m from the War Bear Temple.” With Qin Ke’er’s lesson, this time he would not mention that he was from the Northern Desolate Continent, so as not to be looked down upon.

“Wow! The survivors of the War Bear Temple are amazing!” Huang Yu exclaimed.

“I just came from that side. I’m not familiar with the environment, so I need to talk more about it in the future.” Tie Zha said modestly.

‘”It’s fine. In the future, I’ll keep it on me. I’m a local. I don’t have any other abilities. I can familiarize myself with the environment. Where is the food cheap and delicious? Where is the girl beautiful and foamy? I know all of this.” Huang Yu patted his chest and said.

“Then …” Tie Zha cupped his fists and said, “Thank you first.”

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” As he spoke, Huang Yu naturally put his arm around Tie Zha’s shoulder to show his intimacy.

Tie Zha wasn’t used to people touching his body, but he didn’t move. After all, this wasn’t Northern Wilderness, so it wasn’t that dangerous. If it was in the past, he would have punched him long ago. In the Northern Wilderness, hugging a person’s shoulder and stabbing a knife are dangerous acts of the same nature. Moreover, the former might be more dangerous, because the knife might not be able to stab a person to death, but it was almost certain that he would die if he stuck his neck.

Then, the two of them continued to communicate for a while. Huang Yu was very talkative. Huang Yu said that his family had moved from the Far East and lived in the lower city’s staff area. His parents were the management of the power plant. Tie Zha listened quietly, rarely interrupting or asking questions.

Huang Yu was in bed number three, and their lockers and desks were next to each other. After chatting for a while, Huang Yu took out a laptop from his backpack and placed it on his desk. After opening, he landed on the map of the academy and briefly introduced the various places of the academy.

“This is Cold Lake, the most beautiful place in our academy.” Huang Yu pointed at the pale blue color on the map and said in an intensified tone, “At the same time, it’s also the place we can’t go in.”

“Why?” Tie Zha frowned and asked.
