The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1141 A Feast for the Senses
Central city-state.

Inside a rooftop restaurant.

On stage, a group of people dressed in extremely revealing clothes were dancing passionately, while below the stage, cheers nearly lifted the roof off, and illusory gold coins were being thrown around like rain.

The gold coins glittered in the air, fell onto the dancers, and disappeared directly into their bodies.

The next moment, the dancer's radiance shone even brighter, her decorations became more ornate and elaborate, and her clothing became even more revealing.

This sparked wave after wave of celebration.

Liu Hongyi frowned slightly, "Is this money real?"

"Of course it's true."

Aston Mist-Cutting sat to the side, drinking his wine, with an "Echo" cigarette between his fingers.

A data cable extended from the back of his head, connecting to a small pleasure enhancement port on the edge of his seat. His pupils, fixed on the stage, dilated and emitted an unnatural, shimmering light, clearly indicating that he was in a state of extreme excitement.

Most of the people around were like that.

They are far less "clear-headed" than he is.

The air was filled with the smells of alcohol, "echoes," stimulants, nutrient solutions, perfume, and the evaporation of bodily fluids, sticky like maltose that you couldn't shake off.

It seems that the despair of Advent Day does not exist here.

"Thankfully, the StarNet is back online now, otherwise this whole fun would have been ruined," Aston added with a laugh. "These gold coins still need to be transferred in real time to work."

"So you invited us to dinner just for this?"

Liu Sheng crossed his arms and spoke in a cold tone.

She wasn't interested in that kind of scene.

The reason she crossed her arms was because a dancer with a cool and aloof appearance kept lingering around her, occasionally brushing her face away with her long hair, and then lightly brushing her thigh with the hem of her skirt, while her eyes were filled with an electric charm, trying to seduce Liu Sheng's heart.

It was clearly just a phantom, yet it possessed an almost real tactile quality, and you could even smell the fragrance of its hair.

It smells somewhat familiar, faintly like the fragrance of orchids...

Liu Sheng was unconsciously smelling the fragrance when she noticed a flower had quietly moved closer to her.

So the flavor comes from Zhang Lan?
No wonder...it looks familiar.

Aston quickly smiled apologetically, "Lord Liu, you've misunderstood. I'm just sincerely celebrating the founding of your family!"

"For such an important occasion, we must have a good meal! This is Yotean Steakhouse—a five-star restaurant in Belle. The taste is absolutely superb. I can guarantee that you won't find another place like it on the entire planet Banlan."

Liu Sheng was skeptical about this.

Who comes here just for the food?

However, upon entering, she did see a row of gleaming five-star plaques hanging on the wall. This certification standard was said to come from Bell Labs' spaceship factory, hence the name "Bell Five-Star Restaurant".

Whether this is objective or not is hard to say.

But the price is really expensive.

Liu Sheng glanced at the menu and was astonished by the spending power of the aristocrats here.

Fortunately, Aston treated us.

As for why he was so enthusiastic, it certainly wasn't because of pure hospitality or a feeling of instant connection.

It was nothing more than an attempt to curry favor with Liu Sheng, this "unknowable one".

Moreover, in his mind, Liu Sheng was someone his superior had specially taken care of.

Although I don't know why a family would be established at this juncture, my superior is from the upper echelons of Bell Labs, so he might know some inside information.

"These dancers are also digital life forms, aren't they?" The Taibai Sword Immortal was already quite drunk, but he still noticed something.

It's obvious that after watching for a while, you'll find that these dancers' movements are a bit too perfect, as if every movement has been calibrated, both precise and beautiful, and they can also just the right amount of arouse the audience's desire.

This is not something an ordinary person can do.

“You could say that,” Aston explained with a smile, “but they’re definitely not like Brother Ozer, the kind of ‘Pro’ believers. They may look similar, but in reality, all that’s left are programmed thoughts and actions.” “Of course, for the sake of fun, they’ve retained their original personalities.”

These words left everyone with a strange feeling.

original.

In other words, these virtual dancers were originally human.

But no one around seemed to think there was anything wrong with it.

People laughed, joked, and raised their glasses as usual. Some even complained that the dancers on stage weren't being uninhibited enough and threw more gold coin phantoms at the dancers.

And the dancers continued to dance with the most beautiful posture.

They seem to never tire, dancing with all their might for those "tips" that may have become meaningless to them.

At this moment, a smartly dressed waiter walked over carrying several floating silver trays, with a meticulous and standard smile on his face.

Aston snapped his fingers. "The food's served. Let's eat."

The appetizer was thin, almost transparent slices of raw marinated meat, laid on a kind of dark blue gel. It was cool and tender when you put it in your mouth, and then a hot and fresh aroma would burn down your tongue.

Next comes a whole crustacean, its shell reflecting a mother-of-pearl-like luster, while the flesh inside is soft, smooth, and almost like cream. When eaten together with shell-shaped pasta, the taste is rich and mellow, with the umami flavor almost melting between your teeth.

There was another hot dish that looked like the breast of some kind of poultry, but when you cut it open, a pale golden juice flowed out, and the aroma was so rich that it made your mouth water.

And of course, you can't miss their signature tomahawk steak.

It was ridiculously large, even bigger than the face of the Taibai Sword Immortal, and when it was served, its surface was still burning with a layer of flickering flames.

As the knife fell, bright red juices slowly seeped out, the outer layer was charred and fragrant, the inside tender and juicy, cooked to perfection.

Liu Sheng tried them all.

It's really delicious.

The seasonings didn't overpower the flavors; they just perfectly brought out the natural taste of the ingredients. Compared to this meal, the one at Palm Garden could only be considered a decent home-cooked meal at best.

The Taibai Sword Immortal was thoroughly enjoying his meal.

He also mumbled a few lines of sentimental poetry.

Aston noticed that Liu Sheng's expression had softened, and quickly pressed his advantage:
"See? I wasn't lying to you, was I? This really is delicious. If my partner hadn't been the manager here, I wouldn't have been able to make a reservation so quickly!"

"It's really delicious." Liu Sheng looked around. "And it's certainly crowded. No wonder it's hard to make a reservation."

With meat in his mouth, the Taibai Sword Immortal commented, "The taste is good, but this place is too noisy, and the people upstairs are twisting and turning, making it hard to see."

“Old man, this is already considered good.” Aston laughed. “If you go to a place that specializes in dancing, it won’t be this bland. You’ll be turning on all your senses and the whole atmosphere will be at its peak. That’s what you call exciting.”

Liu Hongyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Isn't this just letting emotions get the better of you?"

"What's the big deal?" Aston shrugged. "Isn't being happy enough?"

"But this happiness is driven by external stimuli, not from the heart!"

Ariel didn't understand either.

Aston chuckled and patted Ariel on the shoulder.

“Young man, you are not a nobleman yet, so you don’t understand. Once your master, Lord Liu, leads you all to become nobles, you will know what noble life is and what true enjoyment is.”

"Once we leave the Spectral Star, I've heard that the Federal Empire has even more exciting activities to offer. We'll have to experience them then."

Aston looked on with longing.

The group exchanged glances.

For some reason, Aston was so confident that he could leave the planet Variegated, as if it were as simple as moving house.

Getting carried away, Aston patted his chest and said, "Where do you want to go next? Just tell me! It's on me today!"

"Speaking of which... there is indeed a place we'd like to go."

Liu Sheng spoke slowly.
