Chapter 83: Three Thousand Restaurant

Opening his eyes, Ji Ye found himself in a large suite with a classical style.

Jade bronze mirrors, landscape paintings, carved railings, and scrolls…

However, the decorations and items inside were a hundred times more exquisite than the simple and crude Twin Dragon Mount.

“This is the City of Humans?”

Lu Zhishen appeared beside him with a curious look.

“This is the City of Humans. Welcome to the number one human city!”

“I’m a staff member of this Three Thousand Restaurant. According to the types of settlements you two have, you can call me a waiter!”

A voice sounded in the room. Standing in the room was a blue-clothed youth dressed as a manservant. He was smiling at the two of them.

“Three thousand? That’s an extraordinary name.”

“The Buddhists say that there are three thousand flower worlds, while the Daoists’ three thousand have endless meanings… How dare a restaurant like yours have such a name?”

Lu Zhishen looked around and said to the blue-clothed man who called himself a waiter.

“Master, you are well-versed at Buddhism! In our Three Thousand Restaurant, there are a total of three thousand rooms. And it exists in the projection of countless number-one cities of the human race. Therefore, this name is not an exaggeration.”

The waiter smiled and answered.

“The number one human city has countless projections?”

Ji Ye grasped a piece of information from this conversation.

“That’s right. The number one human city is condensed from the power of providence. At the same time, it has received all the guests from the human settlements who fulfill the requirements. It’s naturally impossible to say that just one city is enough.”

“Of course, ‘countless’ is merely a saying. After each activation, the exact number of projections in the City of Humans will be determined by the number of people who enter!”

The waiter nodded.

“In that case, we should be able to meet other human civilizations here?”

Ji Ye asked a question that all Earthlings wanted to know.

The human race on Earth alone only had a few hundred thousand settlements in the Land of Inheritance. A portion had already been destroyed by aliens and the remaining portion had to be upgraded to Rank-2 before they could enter. The number of settlements that could fulfill the requirements definitely wasn’t many. It did not need to have “countless” projections to accommodate them.

“Of course. We humans are a large race. We are far from distributed across just one or two worlds and planes.”

“However, the guests of different human civilizations will be in different projections from the beginning. Even if they come from the same civilization, they will appear in different projections due to the distance or because they come from different settlements.

“However, because different projections will also converge, there’s indeed a chance to directly meet the people of the other civilizations, but it requires a certain chance.”

The waiter’s answer undoubtedly proved this.

“There are other humans…”

Ji Ye’s mood was somewhat indescribable.

He was a little excited, but he also felt his body lighten for some reason.

This was because this undoubtedly meant that the people on Earth were not alone in the Land of Inheritance. There was no need to rely on a small planet and an elementary civilization that had yet to step foot into the universe to face the unknown number of aliens from advanced civilizations.

Even though other humans might be different from Earthlings in terms of civilization, the appearance of a City of Humans meant that everyone was definitely not on the “hostile” side of the Land of Inheritance.

As for what other universes and dimensions would have humans? What relationship did they have with the humans on Earth? Was Darwin’s theory of evolution wrong, and that humans came from outer space…

These questions should be the concern of those “experts” on Earth!

“Can different civilizations communicate in this City of Humans?”

However, there was a problem that Ji Ye was rather interested in.

He was sure that it was impossible for people to speak Chidragon in different universes and civilizations. However, the words spoken by this “waiter” sounded like Chidragonese to him, and it even sounded like a southwest province dialect.

“Of course!”

“Just like how I understand your language, you can also understand what I’m saying.”

“This isn’t because I speak the same language as the two of you, but because in the City of Humans, the communication process is actually a direct expression of one’s thoughts! Therefore, there’s no need to worry about civilizations from different settlements having difficulty communicating. Of course, if the other party’s intelligence isn’t high enough, there might be some obstacles to understanding.”

The waiter answered.

“This… is really an eye-opener for me.”

Lu Zhishen sighed.

“Then, are the two of you willing to choose the Three Thousand Restaurant as your exclusive spawning spot in the City of Humans?”

The waiter smiled at the two of them.

“What does setting it as an exclusive spawning point imply?” Ji Ye asked.

“If you do so, you will also appear in our Three Thousand Restaurant’s rooms the next time and enjoy the best service here. Furthermore, those who come from the same settlement as you will also appear in the Three Thousand Restaurant on their entry with you. You don’t have to worry about being separated!”

“You can check your City of Humans Card to verify my words,” the waiter explained.

Alright, clearly he was trying to “solicit business”.

After all, since the restaurant was set up, its goal was definitely to do business.

“Sure.”

They communicated with the Golden Card in their minds.

However, he realized that the card that did not have any attributes had appeared in his hand. The words on it indeed validated the waiter’s words.

“Ah, both of you are honored guests with Golden Cards!”

When he saw the color of the cards in their hands, the waiter’s originally calm smile turned into surprise.

“Boss has already instructed that during the opening of the City of Humans, guests with Golden Cards can enjoy a free board and lodging.”

“Also, Boss wants me to be in charge of the two of you. I’ll handle your requests while you are in the City of Humans!”

Then, as if communicating with someone, his attitude immediately became rather respectful.

“Is there a difference between Golden and Silver Cards?” Lu Zhishen asked in confusion.

“I don’t know the details, but it’s said to be related to the contribution points one makes to the settlement and the abilities they show. The VIPs with the Golden Cards represent the human beings with the highest potential at this stage. Naturally, they deserve the best treatment!” the waiter answered respectfully.

“I see…”

“This human city was built mainly for transactions. Then, where should we transact?”

Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen looked at each other, unsurprised.

After all, one of the two was a hero with a Perfect evaluation, while the other even had an “Inheritance” talent.

“In the Three Thousand Restaurant, there are specialized trading areas. In addition, you can also privately trade in your rooms!”

“By the way, because the two of you have already determined this place to be your spawning point, the rooms that are designated will be protected by the light from providence from your settlements. You don’t have to worry about being spied on or disturbed during transactions!

“In addition, the style of the room can also be adjusted according to your preferences. For Golden VIPs, this service is also free,” the waiter said.

The City of Humans had fused countless settlements, so naturally, they were not solely classical styles. Instead, they had interstellar cruises, cultivation caves, palaces, latrines, and many other styles to choose from!

“Yes, Chief Lu. Let’s head to the trading area to take a look!”

Ji Ye nodded and said to Lu Zhishen.

“Alright!”

Lu Zhishen did not mind.

“Eh? You are… Brother Ji!”

As Ji Ye followed the waiter out of the room, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the side.
