Chapter 738: Chapter 5 Being an ‘Audience mber
It was like the chi that signaled the serving of a al in a sit-down restaurant.
Crisp and pleasing to the ear.
Then, a slot about 40 centiters in length but no taller than 5 centiters appeared on one side of the apartnt wall, and a plate was pushed out, which then gently fell to the ground, supported by a connecting shaft.
Jason glanced at the slot on the wall.
Clearly, it had been designed to prevent people living here from escaping.
Judging by the support bearing, the walls of the apartnt were probably filled with extrely precise machinery.
...
The purpose of which was, of course, not rely to prevent the residents from escaping.
There must be others!
For instance—
To kill the people living in it!
"Double insurance, huh?”
Jason thought to himself, his gaze returning to the plate before him.
Neatly arranged on it were blocks of black, rectangular food.
At first glance, it looked a bit like chocolate.
But there was no scent of chocolate.
After taking a sniff, Jason picked up one and put it in his mouth, chewing briefly before his brow furrowed completely.
No taste!
Neither sweet nor salty.
And lacking any other flavors.
The texture was more like chewing on a piece of soap.
After just one bite, Jason had trouble swallowing it.
But it was nutritious!
Similarly, after a single bite, Jason could discern its nutritional content.
The piece he held in his hand was enough for an adult man’s daily needs.
And there were 10 such pieces on the plate before him.
A powerful body required more nutrition.
Without doubt, the ‘ga’ organizers knew this well.
Therefore, they had arranged it this way.
But the ‘ga’ organizers were not kind-hearted; Jason casually opened the ‘paid nu’ on his handheld computer, and imdiately, over two hundred dishes from today’s nu appeared on the screen.
Each dish was accompanied by an image and description.
They detailed the cooking process, the origin of the ingredients, and even included chef’s comnts.
Instantly, Jason’s saliva began to flow.
Especially when he saw the prices of each dish, the flow beca even more vigorous.
A roast whole cow, such a hefty dish, required 1 Point.
It even ca with a free side dish and roasted bread.
Whereas sothing like a beef, tuna, and at least five eggs mixed 3kg vegetable salad typically cost around 0.01 Points and had a note that said you could take five portions.
"The lowest amount of Points is 0.01.”
"Points are more valuable than I imagined.”
Jason thought as he swallowed the free al in his hand.
It was difficult to eat, but that didn’t an he couldn’t eat it.
One piece was enough for an adult’s daily nutritional needs.
That was a considerable attraction for Jason.
Regular food usually only served to increase satiation because it lacked enough nutrition.
Previously, when training with Aras in Ang City, the abundance of protein energy bars had given him a full feeling.
And now?
It was a similar situation.
If he ate enough of these nutritious als, he could achieve satiation.
Perhaps it was minimal.
Perhaps it was tasteless.
But it was free!
For Jason, that was enough.
"Taste is primary, and enduring now is just for a better experience later on,” Jason silently hyped himself up.
Then, grabbing the nutritional als, he tossed them into his mouth one by one, before placing another order.
Ding!
At the sound of the bell, as Jason waited for his order, he opened up the virtual ‘lifestyle’ button on his handheld computer besides ‘food.’
100-inch Live Network Television: 1 Point (it’s already connected to several free channels and will remain available until damaged)
A lady (carbon-based lifeform): 1-30 Points (an ordinary woman filtered according to your choice, only for overnight, not for month-long stays, and violence is not tolerated)
A lady (semi-chanical lifeform): 1-30 Points (she will offer you more choices, only for overnight, not for month-long stays, with a surcharge for violent treatnt)
A pet dog: 1-3 Points (price varies with the breed, cos with a year’s supply of dog food)
A pet cat: 1-3 Points (price varies with the breed, cat food to be chosen separately, extra charges apply)
A pet bird: 1-3 Points (price varies with the breed, feed included)
A special pet: 10-100 Points (based on your requirents, this can include but is not limited to crocodiles, giraffes, elephants, or humans, etc.)
A set of fitness equipnt: 1-10 Points (customized to your specifications)
A set of special fitness equipnt: 10-100 Points (options available include gravity room, cryo recovery, Swift healing, and more)
…
Jason’s eyes swept down the list from top to bottom.
"Semi-chanical lifeform?”
"What does that look like?”
Curious, Jason clicked on it.
Unfortunately, what appeared was only a paynt button, with no detailed explanation or image-laden descriptions like those for the food.
Thumbs down!
At least the food seed more genuine.
As for pets?
Jason silently passed over those.
Even though he had no clue why the cat’s food had to be specially chosen and ca with extra charges,
He knew he wasn’t suited for keeping pets.
Neither ordinary nor special ones were appropriate.
He did have so interest in fitness equipnt.
However, before committing to a real purchase, Jason tapped the paynt option for the television.
He needed to understand the information about this world.
Network-connected television was just the right fit.
Points: 60-1.

After this prompt appeared on the computer screen, one side of the wall flipped around, revealing a 100-inch television.
The remote was on the stand.
Jason picked up the remote and turned on the TV.
