A line of people filed out one by one, following behind a young man.
After leaving the eastern part of the villa district, the team did not head outside the city walls but walked through the space between two villa districts, passing a gigantic building reportedly a training camp, and continued inward.
Soon, a three-story building appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the cafeteria," said the guide, "if you pass the assessnt, this will be your future workplace."
The group walked into the cafeteria.
Inside, just like most cafeterias, at first glance, it was filled with tables and chairs. After a mont of daily amazent, they did not linger and went straight to the cafeteria's kitchen.
"It's so complete..."
"And everything is new."
Lin Deyun was shocked as he looked at the kitchen's equipnt.
Initially, he had guessed the cafeteria would be located next to the central plaza in the hotel, which was virtually the only place in the entire resort with relatively complete facilities.
Nevertheless, issues such as electricity and gas were still problematic, but, of course, one could simplify everything by relying on burning coal or firewood.
After seeing the beautiful adventurer guild, Lin Deyun thought otherwise, and it turned out Director Tang had indeed used his capabilities to set up a cafeteria.
Yet, he had not expected the kitchen equipnt to be so complete.
It was more comprehensive than the five-star hotels he had worked at before, and there were even so devices whose purposes he couldn't decipher and needed to study.
The worries about electricity and gas he originally had did not exist here; it seed that there was so special ans of providing energy.
After a brief inspection, Lin Deyun's gaze fell on a person in the kitchen.
Chen Haiping, one of the high-ranking officials in the Sanctuary and often seen in public, was nearly recognized by every survivor.
Chen Haiping clapped his hands, and after everyone quieted down, he said, "The cafeteria will recruit two chefs, a head chef and a sous-chef. The assessnt is quite simple, each person will cook a few of their best dishes, and basically all the ingredients are available here."
Chen Haiping pointed to the side where various foods were displayed.
Many eyes lit up, and breaths beca heavier.
Lin Deyun was no exception; since the apocalypse, this was the first ti he had seen so many ingredients.
Green Shadow Sanctuary was not the first shelter he had been in. In fact, he had stayed in another small-scale shelter before, which later collapsed due to a lack of food, and he and several companions left the shelter to survive on their own. Luckily, he encountered Green Shadow's Patrol Team and was rescued and brought here.
Other Sanctuaries lacked food, but Green Shadow not only provided enough food, but also had all sorts of ingredients, including necessary seasonings.
He couldn't imagine how Green Shadow Sanctuary managed to gather such complete items.
But beyond the shock, he was also excited.
This line of work was his passion, and it was only in this field that he could make real contributions.
...
After handing over various matters of the cafeteria to Chen Haiping, Tang Yu wasn't idle, and went to the research institute.
Dressed in a white lab coat and wearing an analysis-capable augnted reality glasses, he found himself beginning to like this place.
Though a scholar, he always had the heart of a top student.
Tang Yu accessed the data bank and browsed through the directory.
The cafeteria was already built, and recruiting chefs... for the many survivors in the Sanctuary, even if there were no real chefs, finding a few people who knew how to cook wouldn't be a problem.
However, there was still one major issue for the cafeteria to start operating.
Can a cafeteria without al cards truly be called a cafeteria?
The answer was no.
The current survivors and the Patrol Team all used work points or contribution points for transactions, and typically, when survivors wanted to exchange items, they would go to the forr employnt center where the staff was responsible for logging the changes in their work points.
The issue of settling accounts was very troubleso.
If they wanted to open a cafeteria, they couldn't have soone recording data for each dish ordered by the survivors, unless they offered free als to them. However, Tang Yu was not that generous.
Providing free als was out of the question; he would rather spend more to produce actual al cards.
He ca here to the research institute.
Through the research institute, Tang Yu had already improved many blueprints; here he could also infer blueprints or formulas. He had already derived the formula for the Awakening Potion and even made so improvents. Once he gathered the materials and produced it, the effects should be sowhat better than those produced in Lindong.
Similarly, blueprints could also be developed here.
Theoretically, any blueprint could be developed... that was the explanation of the research institute, which Tang Yu glanced at and ignored. Theoretically speaking, a jinx could still pull an SS rank, but was that possible?
After tinkering around for a while, Tang Yu finally understood the developnt rules of the research institute.
There were three main ones.
Basic data, the amount of Source Crystals, and the direction of developnt.
He was now browsing through the data in the database, most of which were downloaded from the Lindong Sanctuary, many of them being the scientific fruits of humanity before the apocalypse; although not very advanced, they were all basic. The research institute did not co with its materials, and without these, Tang Yu's developnt work would have probably been aborted before it even started.
Data is the foundation, and Source Crystals are key.
Without Source Crystals, without research funds, even a great expert could only rely on imagination.
The last one was the direction of developnt.
This was random. After key data or blueprints were put into developnt, different results would be generated randomly.
In short, whether one could develop the desired results depended on luck!
Tang Yu felt that this was just a way to sink Source Crystals.
Apart from basic data, there were so more advanced ones, like Source Power basics, which Tang Yu had recorded.
He then took out two other hardcover books, which were books he had acquired from the market yesterday.
One on basic Rune Studies knowledge.
One on basic Pharmacy knowledge.
Both were areas he was extrely lacking in; as long as he learned these and integrated his knowledge, calling himself "Tang the Study King" would be no issue.
[Choose to input data: Basic Rune Studies, Source Power Basics, Electronic Integration Technology, Logic, Material Science…]
"Developnt requires an investnt of 500 units of Source Crystals, yes/no?"
Depending on the amount and complexity of data entered, different amounts of Source Crystals needed to be invested in developnt; although he had entered a lot of data, they all belonged to the basic category, so the cost was still not too high.
Well, 500 each ti wasn't too much. Any more expensive and even Lord Tang wouldn't be able to afford to play.
Choose to develop.
[Developnt successful, congratulations on developing "Rune Encryption Technology."]
That wasn't what he wanted.
Continue, he had plenty of Source Crystals!
[Developnt successful, congratulations on developing "Automatic Recognition Door Plate (blueprint)."]
…
[Developnt successful, congratulations on developing "Vile's Password Shirt (blueprint)."]
Tang Yu's face darkened. What on earth was that?!
…
Tap the screen, develop, skip, tap the screen, develop…
Tang Yu stared at the screen, probably because he had input too much data, there were especially, especially, especially many directions for developnt, so of which he didn't even know what they were.
Fortunately, Lord Tang, if nothing else, still had so Source Crystals!
Finally,
[Developnt successful, congratulations on developing "Identity Card (blueprint)."]
Tang Yu's eyes lit up.
Good thing he didn't give up, finally here you are!
