It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 356 [005] Sweet Meal Uninvited Guests

The so-called "top viewing platform of the central tower" is actually only located at a height of about 700 meters, which is still some distance from the real top. The remaining 300 meters is the Mingguang sky curtain launch unit.

The Yunxian Building, where Qin Jiandan led the nine ninjas to fight their way up, is 600 meters high and has 101 floors. It is the second tallest skyscraper after the Central Tower.

The Central Tower does not have so many floors, but the height of each floor is very exaggerated. Qin Jiandan and Mu Yue walked from the 7th floor to the 20th floor, and took the vertical elevator to skip classes on the remaining 21st to 42nd floors.

Qin Jiandan looked around behind the transparent glass of the elevator, letting the camera in his chest pocket take as many photos of the interior as possible:
"All the places above the 20th floor are not open to the general public..."

After leaving the gallery maze, Mu Yue no longer allowed Qin Jiandan to hold her hand. At this moment, she was using her free hand to adjust the golden tassel ribbon on her chest. She always felt that the ribbon was a little crooked:

“The 21st to 42nd floors are the middle section of the tower, which is responsible for regulating the light, temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide concentration of the vertical farm. There are fewer areas open to the public, and secondary security checks are required when visiting.”

"Forget it then." Qin Jiandan said, "If my camera is discovered, all my efforts will be wasted."

Although I really wanted to go inside the vertical farm to investigate, Dr. Li said that vertical farms are basically all planted and harvested by robots to prevent pests and diseases. It is difficult for non-staff to enter.

The elevator finally reached the top observation deck, which was high enough to overlook the dazzling night view of the entire city. The neon lights of the inner city and the glittering lights of the high-rise buildings complemented each other, like a microcosm of the future world.

The promotional airship that was nearby was playing the company's promotional information on a large screen. Fortunately, Qin Jiandan was wearing sunglasses so he was not afraid of being blinded by the glare.

The sky restaurant on the observation deck was only a few steps away. After Mu Yue walked out of the elevator, she was still adjusting the position of the golden ribbon, as if she wanted to make the ribbon get rid of the attraction of her breast curves.

Qin Jiandan nodded to the female receptionist who was bowing beside the red carpet, and then said to Mu Yue:

"You can't adjust it without looking in the mirror, why don't I help you adjust it?"

Compared to the ribbon, the curve is obviously more attractive to Qin Jiandan.

Mu Yue's gaze shot out like a sharp arrow, and Qin Jiandan cooperated by making a dodging gesture.

"Next time you say such rude words, I will help you adjust our marriage relationship."

Some say that the sky restaurant is a miracle woven of metal, glass and light.

The walls of the restaurant are decorated with flowing light strips, which change colors with the rhythm of the music, creating a dreamy atmosphere. On the ceiling of the dome, a huge holographic projection brings the starry sky very close, as if you can reach out and touch those distant stars.

Under the illumination of the holographic starry sky, every corner of the restaurant is dotted with a layer of mysterious silver light. The light bounces on the smooth table, reflecting the stars, making people almost forget that they are in a dictatorial city with strict rules.

A school of holographic digital fish swam to Mu Yue's side. They were virtual creatures generated by advanced algorithms. Against the backdrop of the flashing fish, Mu Yue looked like a mermaid who had just left the sea and gained legs. Qin Jiandan wanted to hug her waist and dance with her on the spot.

"You two, please come this way. The restaurant has reserved the best viewing position for you."

The human waiters in the sky restaurant are also a sight to behold. They all wear custom-made suits made of memory fabric with smooth lines, well-cut designs, and perfect fit. Their bow ties are made of smart fibers that change color according to the light and shadow changes in the restaurant, blending in harmony with the surrounding environment.

The man who provided service to Qin Jiandan and Mu Yue was androgynous, with a very neutral face. His gloves could call out a holographic projection touch screen, which was convenient for receiving customers' needs and feedback in real time.

As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Han family is the weakest among the three major families, Mu Yue still enjoys some preferential treatment. After entering the central tower, she was automatically included in the reservation list of the sky restaurant.

Qin Jiandan had just arrived, so he left the task of ordering dishes to his wife. Mu Yue was familiar with the place, and she clicked on the holographic menu projected on the table, her technique as skillful as if she was playing the piano.

"My mother often brought me here before." Mu Yue explained, "She would stare at the city below for a long time, and sometimes she couldn't hear my father's questions."

Qin Jiandan sat on a circular sofa made of nano self-cleaning fabric, two body lengths away from Mu Yue who was sitting across the table. He kept the camera recording and felt the sadness in Mu Yue's words.

It was dinner time, and the restaurant was about 80% full. Judging from whether the guests were wearing the Ring of Confinement, the majority of the people here were Class A residents.

Qin Jiandan took off his sunglasses and looked out the viewing window. He could see countless patrol drones flying low in the night. Was that what his mother-in-law was staring at back then?
The waiter quickly returned with the dishes. His expression was gentle and professional, and every movement was elegant and precise. Every pouring of wine, plating and serving was like a carefully choreographed dance, pleasing to the eye.

However, Qin Jiandan noticed that there was a small metal electrode implant at the corner of the other party's eyebrow, which every waiter had.

It seems that they, like Wangyou, have undergone brain surgery! On the one hand, the brain is removed and placed in a robot to make a "brain machine", and on the other hand, the human identity is retained but the brain is modified. I really don't know which side is more excessive.

"I don't like these digital fish schools very much." Mu Yue drove away the flashing fish that came over without permission. "The company's hardware computing power is insufficient. When it comes to advanced algorithms, most of the time they are completed by connecting brains and computers in series."

Seeing Qin Jiandan frowning, Mu Yue's eyes flashed with a hint of apology:
"Did it affect your appetite? I'm sorry, I just remembered that my mother often talked about brain computers here. Once, she made the guests at the next table who were eating monkey brains vomit." Coincidentally, there really was a nouveau riche-looking man eating monkey brains at the next table. He wanted to curse at him, but found out that the other party was the sheriff of District 12 and the young master of the Night Dragon Society, so he had to call the waiter and change seats.

Although the sky restaurant is large and has many customers, it remains relatively quiet overall. The walls are made of sound-absorbing materials, and the soles of the waiters' shoes are equipped with micro-suspension devices. Combined with the special material floor, they can automatically adjust according to each person's gait and weight, ensuring that they can maintain elegance even during long hours of work and make almost no sound when walking.

The first thing that was placed on the table was a glass of lemon mint cold drink, which tasted similar to the lemon soda that Mu Yue often drank. The drink that Mu Yue ordered for Qin Jiandan was sugar cane and pear water.

"It's alcohol-free and can help reduce your temper. It's perfect for you."

Qin Jiandan picked up the crystal goblet and took a sip. It was not as good as beer, and he always felt that Mu Yue was secretly saying that he "needed to relieve his sexual desire."

The remaining dishes include strawberry spinach salad, grilled salmon, purple sweet potato grilled chicken breast, and cheese and mushroom steak. All the ingredients come from vertical farms, and the fish, chicken, and beef are freshly slaughtered.

Mu Yue was afraid that Qin Jiandan was not used to Western food, so she cut a few pieces of steak and chicken fillet for him, put them on a small plate and handed them to him - she did not let the waiter do it for him.

"Actually, the taste is pretty average." Mu Yue only ate two bites of salad and didn't touch the meat.

The food in the sky restaurant is made from ingredients from vertical farms, but people criticize the taste. If it were someone else, they would definitely say "wild boars can't eat fine bran." But Mu Yue has seen and eaten it before. She has a low appetite and other desires, so gourmet food is not her favorite.

Qin Jiandan ate the steak and chicken cuts that Mu Yue had prepared. They were chewier and more natural than animal mud products, but he was not going to cry like some worthless people and kneel down and shout, "It's so delicious!"

Food is food. No matter how delicious the food is, you won't want to eat it if you're not hungry. Mu Yue looked calm, but Qin Jiandan didn't want to embarrass the people from the outside city.

The two chatted casually about their respective experiences. Qin Jiandan noticed that Mu Yue looked up at the electronic clock high up in the restaurant from time to time.

"Do you have any mission tonight?"

"No." Mu Yue seemed to be hiding something. She gradually lost interest in eating and even started blowing bubbles in the lemon mint water with a straw.

This childish action lasted for 2 or 3 seconds before Mu Yue realized what she was doing. She was startled and her lips immediately moved away from the straw.

Qin Jiandan smiled and said, "I think this is very cute."

"Not cute at all!" Mu Yue blushed, "I just, I just don't like the lack of carbon dioxide in this lemonade, so I want to add some in!"

Qin Jiandan knew that Mu Yue liked to drink lemon-flavored iced carbonated soda and even hoarded it. If it weren't for the prosthetic right eye that continuously consumed sugar, Mu Yue would get fat just by drinking soda.

Qin Jiandan pushed his glass of sugar cane and pear water over, with 3/4 of it still left:

"There's no carbonation in my drink, could you add some for me?"

"I don't provide that kind of service. You can call a waiter."

Qin Jiandan knew that this was a life-threatening question. No matter whether the waiter in charge of this table was a man or a woman, if she dared to ask the other party to come over and blow bubbles and add carbonation, Mu Yue's drink would immediately turn into acetic acid.

Changing the subject is a necessary skill for being someone's husband (or boyfriend). Qin Jiandan asked with a smile:
"You are the sheriff of District 12. You don't like the lemon mint water in the sky restaurant, but prefer the cheap lemon soda in bulk?"

The policewoman retorted, "As the young master of the Night Dragon Society, don't you also eat junk food like fried chicken every day?"

Damn it! Don't say Lao Wang's fried chicken is rubbish! If you were not my wife, I would definitely make you apologize to 100% chicken cell animal mud and the human master!

Mu Yue held the cup of lemon mint water and felt the cool sensation with her palm.

"You don't understand. Bottled soda tastes good. The moment you open the bottle, it makes a "pop" sound, and then the moisture with the smell of carbon dioxide gushes out, dispelling the heat. You feel happy before you even drink it."

Qin Jiandan didn't understand why opening a bottle of soda was such a pleasant experience, and Mu Yue didn't understand why the biological mud fried chicken that Qin Jiandan ate had to have fake chicken bones. But this didn't stop them from ending the meal after having ice cream dessert.

Linlin has been wanted by the company for hacking, so Qin Jiandan's idea of ​​bringing her to the inner city for dinner is just a daydream. It seems that he has to wait until the Border City Ecological Tower is completed and use his own "sky restaurant" to entertain his sister.

Just as I was thinking about these things, I heard a brutal voice coming from the entrance of the restaurant. Two burly bodyguards in black suits led the way and shouted at the other people in the restaurant:
"Get out of the way! The Patriarch of the Ding family and Miss Ding Yuyunxian are coming to have dinner. If you know what's best for you, get out of the way and don't block their way!"
