The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 41 Stranger

After nearly an hour of research, Hao Ren finally determined one thing: there was no major problem with the data terminal he had in hand, but there were many minor problems. Even if he was a layman who was new to such high-tech gadgets, he could still see what was inside this small device. There is something wrong with the system. Many functions seemed incomprehensible, and a lot of information had nothing to do with him. He even specifically asked the AI ​​of the data terminal, but it turned out that even the AI ​​didn't know what these things were intended for - anyway, Raven 12345 installed it. It's all installed.

That's right, Raven 12345 ordered it to be installed, not the system itself. Every data terminal issued from the headquarters of the Space-Time Administration has actually been initialized. Logically speaking, they should all be the same after being sent to the grassroots level. However, managers in grassroots areas have the right to add some special features to these data terminals based on local conditions. Programs for various purposes, such as encyclopedias of local creatures, local interstellar route maps, and guides for protecting the fetus and calming the nerves specially prepared for female prosecutors. Anyway, no matter how strange things are, they can be found in the Xiling Empire's database. Therefore, the programs that can be installed on the data terminal are endless - and here's the problem. Hao Ren's local governor is a woman (goddess?) with a bad brain. She obviously knows nothing about technological things, but she doesn't know. She applied for more mysterious equipment, but she still likes to get involved with everything she encounters. After Hao Ren's data terminal was sent here, he first let Raven 12345 play with it for a long time...

Now Hao Ren and Vivian were in a daze while looking at the vast number of "PT-385 Universe Encyclopedia Series" (a set of two thousand volumes) on the data terminal. He found that this overwhelming thing could not be deleted. , in fact, all the messy things installed by Raven 12345 on the data terminal cannot be deleted, and are locked by high-level permissions...

"This machine recommends that you make do with it," a line of text appeared on the data terminal. "The functions of this machine are still complete. There are everything you need. You just need to suppress your obsessive-compulsive disorder and adapt to your portable... It’s okay if there is a lot of junk information in the device. Because if you ask the Raven 12345 manager to change the device, she will only give you a situation worse than the current situation. This is what this machine found after checking the local network guestbook—— Everyone who has dealt with Chief Raven 12345 has complained about similar incidents, and the rate of repeated complaints is 100%. She is a person who is very good at breaking things."

"That's all," Hao Ren quickly waved his hand. He was just depressed for a while, and then his optimistic spirit took over and put the matter aside, "Anyway, you are the one who manages the system data. What do I need at that time?" I just ask you to help me find them. Those messy things are out of sight and out of mind, so why don’t I just pretend they don’t exist? Is that okay?”

A line of coaxing words immediately popped up on the data terminal: "This machine has excellent performance and powerful query functions, so users don't have to worry."

In the near future, Hao Ren will definitely realize what a right decision he made today.

"Let's go down to eat too." Hao Ren put the data terminal back in his pocket and completely forgot about this matter. Then he looked up at the handsome ancient clock in the corner, "Lily has been down for an hour, why are you still here?" No movement, maybe lost or something."

"That big dog is a loser. There is a buffet here in the morning. She must eat until she comes out holding the wall." Vivian pouted, "Without education, that's all she can do."

Hao Ren shrugged wordlessly, led Vivian out of the room, and soon arrived at the restaurant on the first floor.

Britain is a slow-paced country. On many occasions, there is a slightly lazy and unhurried atmosphere here. The locals' day generally starts at nine in the morning, including their breakfast - Hao Ren is obviously still Unable to adapt to this kind of schedule, he had not yet recovered from jet lag. First, he was greeted by an unprecedentedly deserted breakfast: there were only a few people in the huge cafeteria, so he and Vivian could easily see the breakfast in the center of the restaurant. Lily, the werewolf girl has an extremely high sense of presence. She occupies a large table by herself and eats like a tiger sitting on a dragon's plate. There are already three or four clean trays in front of her...

Hao Ren blinked: "They say Britain is the base of the dark culinary world. Judging from Lily's eating habits...it doesn't seem to be as serious as the legend says?"

Vivian was very disdainful: "She is just an omnivore. She is not a picky eater by nature."

Hao Ren carried the dinner plate and walked around the long food table. Fortunately, he found that not all British dishes were as exotic as unknown substances. Of course, this may also have something to do with the nature of the buffet. In short, he was successful in some He collected what he dared to eat from the strangely colored food, and then came to Lily's side with a plate: "Aren't you full yet?"

"Hmm," Lily's mouth was full, and she swallowed hard while trying to speak clearly, "The vegetable salad here is delicious! The fruit is delicious too! I just don't like the barbecue here, it's not as delicious as at home... "

Hao Ren looked into Lily's eyes and whispered, "As a werewolf, aren't you ashamed of your recipe?"

Lily said confidently: "Who told us not to sell big bones here!"

Hao Ren felt that he could no longer communicate with this werewolf.

Then he turned his head and saw Vivian sitting on the other side, and couldn't help but say a few words: "I just said that she has no future, where do you think your future is?"

The dinner plate in front of Vivian can almost be described as a moving hill. Some things that Hao Ren thought could be described as mysterious food were picked out by her. The vampire girl who was used to poverty came here. As expected, the cafeteria where you don't have to pay the bill yourself still couldn't suppress the restlessness deep in my heart. Just now, I complained about Lily's lack of future. If she turned around, she was more of a bumpkin than anyone else!

"I have never experienced such a good life before!" The vampire girl quickly filled her mouth with a lot of things, and the second half of her sentence was vague like ventriloquism, "If you don't eat quickly today, you may not know when you will have it in the future. What a chance to have another meal like this..."

Hao Ren was extremely lucky now. Fortunately, most people here in the UK started their daily life around nine o'clock, and there were only a dozen or so people in the entire restaurant including the service staff. Otherwise, he would lead these two starving ghosts, You really can’t afford to lose this person!

While the three of them were busy with breakfast, a tall and thin man came over at some point carrying his own food. Hao Ren only heard a very gentle voice coming from the side: "Can I Sit here?"

Hao Ren looked up and found an unknown man. He was wearing a thin white shirt and black trousers. He was tall and thin, clean and tidy, with a head of short black hair. His appearance was not very handsome, but With a very capable and reliable feeling. Of course, the most noticeable thing about the other party was the oriental face shape. Hao Ren only took one look and was almost sure that the other party was Chinese.

"Oh, there's no one here, you can do whatever you want." Hao Ren found that there was an empty seat across from his table and nodded. However, he also found that there were empty tables everywhere in the restaurant. There was no need for the tall and thin man in front of him to come to his place. While "sharing a table", I subconsciously became curious and wary of the strangers in front of me.

He still remembers his "top secret mission", and his vigilance is much higher than before.

When an outsider suddenly appeared, Vivian finally remembered the fact that she was a high-level vampire, so she quickly slowed down her eating speed and tried to pretend to be a cultivated aristocratic temperament with a straight face - if she could wipe it off The oil on your face is even more convincing.

"It's not easy to meet fellow villagers here." The tall and thin man sat down and spoke very cordially. It was not as difficult to communicate with him as he had given Hao Ren at first, "Are you here for a trip?"

"Fellow?" Hao Ren really didn't expect that he guessed correctly. Because of the existence of the translation program, he could no longer tell whether the other party was speaking Chinese or something else. Only when he heard the other party calling himself a fellow did he finally dare to be sure. My own guess, "Are you from China too?"

"A genuine Chinese, but he often travels around the world," the tall and thin man smiled cheerfully, "I finally met my fellow countrymen here. Come and have a table like this... I didn't cause any trouble to you, right?"

Hao Ren quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay."

"That's good," the tall and thin man nodded, and then said casually, "Are you looking for a place called Jofold?"
