Chapter 101 What's it like to take your friends to [eat scavenged food]? (Bonus chapter for AD 1)

After seeing off two friends who had plans for the evening at the entrance of Qihang Building, Tang Yiping and the other six strolled through the software park where cattle and horses congregated.

Since starting his internship, Tang Yiping hadn't had this feeling of aimlessly strolling around with his friends for a long time.

Every day before that was like a battle, racing against time.

Today, Tang Yiping's FOEW-core was released, the logistics scheduling module signed with the company was delivered, the bug that had plagued the company for so many days was temporarily sealed, he received his bonus, and he also has the money for his next dose of Nusinersen sodium.

Although there were still many unresolved issues, Tang Yiping just wanted to clear his mind and enjoy this peaceful afternoon.

Actually, they weren't entirely aimless; they were looking for a suitable milk tea shop.

"We can grab coupons for this place! Let's each grab one!"

"This one is cheaper!"

"Buy this one..."

"Wait a minute, this place seems cheaper for delivery? Should we order from here?"

As they walked, several people were looking for coupons on their phones.

This is how poor people drink milk tea.

If you don't take full advantage of all the discounts and deals, you won't be able to stop yourself even when you wake up in the middle of the night.

Tang Yiping listened to their various comparisons while experiencing the city.

A city that feels unfamiliar, yet not entirely unfamiliar.

Every place has a sense of familiarity, as if just standing at the edge of a street, you can know what awaits you after turning the corner.

And if you close your eyes, you can almost hear the heartbeat of the city.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

There seemed to be some sounds drifting from afar, like indistinct whispers.

Then Tang Yiping opened his eyes:
"Let's go to this bubble tea shop."

"Huh? This place doesn't offer many discounts, does it?"

"It's my treat," Tang Yiping said, bending down and reaching into the green belt to pull out an old cell phone.

The old phone looks like a very outdated model, probably left here for years. It's not a full-screen phone, and it's been soaked in water for ages, with mold even growing in the screen's crevices.

Why is there an old cell phone here?

"It's been around for years, it can't be used anymore..."

Everyone was a little confused when Tang Yiping took out his phone.

Tang Yiping removed the phone case, revealing a slightly worn 100-yuan bill.

The interns: "???"

"Damn! What incredible luck! Kill him!"

"Hit me? Why would you hit me? This is our hundred yuan!" Tang Yiping said, "It's for milk tea!"

You bastards who can't tell friend from foe!
"Oh, right." Everyone realized, "If it's 100 yuan, that's 16.6 yuan per person. With some discounts, that's enough!"

But there's still a sense of imbalance inside:
"Hirako is so incredibly lucky!"

"Exactly, I've lost a hundred yuan before. Ah, just thinking about that hundred yuan makes my heart ache!"

"I once lost 200 yuan, and it hurt so much I couldn't breathe! Since then, I've only kept 50 yuan in my phone case."

"Why wasn't it me who found it?!"

"If you found it, are you going to keep it all for yourself without sharing?"

"Can that feeling be the same?"

"right!"

"As expected, we still have to kill Hirako!"

"Are you still going to drink or not?" Tang Yiping looked at the group of cattle and horses that had become ugly because of jealousy.

"Of course I'm going to drink it! The thought that the hundred yuan I lost might have been exchanged for someone else's milk tea makes me unable to forgive myself. Today I'm going to drown in milk tea!"

"On the bright side, this might be the sharing economy."

As he casually tossed his waterlogged and moldy old cell phone into the trash can, Tang Yiping waved red banknotes and said, "Let's go, let's go!"

"Ouch!"

Two cows and horses lagged behind, silently opened their phone cases, checked their phones, and found the money was still there, finally feeling relieved.

This is a fairly large milk tea shop. Two people were sent to take orders, while the others found a seat, enjoyed the air conditioning, and browsed their phones. Then the milk tea was brought over.

"Wait, if we have six cups of milk tea... what about Lola and Lux?" a friend suddenly remembered this question.

"Oh right." Tang Yiping suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that he was supposed to go find Lola and Lux. He reached into the booth next to him and rummaged around.

I managed to scrape together 50 yuan.

other people:"???"

What is this operation?
What incredible luck!

How can I kill him? Yes, get rid of him! Throw the body into the sea!

Tang Yiping: "???"

50? That's more than I expected.

It seems like there should be just enough flowers.

Could it be that my senses are malfunctioning because I haven't eaten carrion for several days?
Just as Tang Yiping was thinking, the curtain clicked open, and a familiar figure walked in: "Two jasmine milk teas, one with ice and one without. I'll take them to go, thank you!"

Then he faced Tang Yiping, who was waving 50 yuan.

No wonder it felt just right.

"You've come at the perfect time. I was just about to treat you, and your jasmine milk tea is just right."

"This money is..."

"Do not ask."

"Oh!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Do not ask."

"Hmm? This money of mine is actually..."

"No, no, no, no!" Zhao Xinyi lowered his voice: "We've found a clue! My master and I are following the clue, and I really can't say any more."

After saying that, he became arrogant again and said, "I have a feeling that we are about to have a major breakthrough."

"Really? According to your progress..." Tang Yiping said, "Is it Zhou Beichuan?"

"???" Zhao Xinyi's eyes widened. "Two jasmine milk teas, one with ice and one without," the young lady at the counter called out.

Zhao Xinyi quickly turned around and took the milk tea. She wanted to say something, but in the end she pointed at Tang Yiping and said, "Don't do anything reckless! Be careful."

Then they left in a hurry.

Seeing Zhao Xinyi gave Tang Yiping a strange sense of peace.

I have comrades-in-arms; I am not fighting alone.

However, someone at Zhou Beichuan's level seems to have access to the power to truly "steal." That puts the police officers in a bit of danger. Should I start trying to win over Zhou Beichuan too? Hmm, it's time to come up with a plan…

After the group had finished drinking and resting, they left the milk tea shop, carrying half-full cups of milk tea and the milk tea they had bought for Lola and Lux.

Where should we eat tonight?

"If we're with Lola and Lux, we can't eat out for a late-night snack, can we?"

"We'll be surrounded by onlookers...that's scary."

"Now it's full of all kinds of online celebrities coming to check in."

Several people have been watching videos every day lately, and they keep seeing Lola and Lux, whether they're watching intentionally or unintentionally. These two have become the most popular celebrities in the entire Hailing City.

As young people of the new era, they are well aware of the terrifying power of internet traffic.

As everyone was discussing, Tang Yiping suddenly caught a whiff of something.

He sniffed, bent down, and started digging into the green belt again.

Everyone:"???"

After digging for a while, Tang Yiping pulled a card out of the green belt, wiped it with his hand, and asked, "How's this?"

It was something that looked like a membership card.

The matte gray color looks like titanium alloy, with a relief of "Tantai Yunju" and a landscape pattern on it. The member number is in the corner, which is only three digits.

The card number is NO.015.

On the back is a phone number that looks exactly like the kind used for selling houses, all 8s.

"Tantai Yunju... Tantai Yunju?" The only local stared wide-eyed. "Holy crap, this is a Tantai Yunju membership card?"

"Is it that impressive?" Tang Yiping asked.

"My dad went there once with their boss, and he bragged about it for half a year afterward. Apparently, the lowest price for a customer is 8888!"

"Holy crap, are they eating gold?"

"What can be 8888?!"

"8888 can keep me alive for a year!"

The group of poor people were shocked.

"So expensive?" Tang Yiping thought better of it; he couldn't afford it!

Just ten minutes ago, they were comparing prices at different stores for milk tea priced at 16.6 yuan and whether they could get a 10% discount! Now they're suddenly considering a high-end private banquet costing 8888 yuan per guest?

This world is so magical.

But then he sniffed it again, and the card seemed to tell him: "You can afford it! Come on! This offer won't last!"

Even a poor wretch wants to have some meat!

Maybe we can brag about it to Master Tang for half a year?

Moreover, he always felt that something else was attracting him, making him feel restless.

"Or...shall we go take a look?" Tang Yiping asked.

"They'll go bankrupt!"

"Here's what we'll do: if we can't pay, Pingzi, you lie down on the ground and say you have food poisoning, then we'll all run away!"

You two are such good friends!
Tang Yiping thought for a moment and said, "There's a phone in the back, why don't we call and ask?"

……

Hailing City has mountains along the coast and several mountains in the urban area, most of which have been developed into mountain parks.

There are also some high-end villa areas and supporting facilities.

The closest place to the software park is Tantai Mountain, a small, round mountain. "Tantai Yunju" is located halfway up Tantai Mountain.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a lake in Hailing City, and on this mountain there was a stone platform from which one could see the shimmering water, hence the name Tantai (澹台).

Later, due to urban changes, the lake disappeared, but its name remained.

At this moment, in the parking lot opposite Tantai Yunju, Li Tieqiang and his apprentice were eating boxed lunches in a dilapidated car.

“Master, there’s no use in us staying here. Why don’t we apply for some funding from the bureau and go in too?”

"Funding?" Li Tieqiang glared at Zhao Xinyi. "The price of a single meal here is more than our entire team's travel expenses for a month! You're going to approve it? Huh? You're going to approve it!"

As he spoke, he started hitting Zhao Xinyi on the head.

The banging was loud.

"Once I become the bureau chief, I'll approve it for you," Zhao Xinyi said, shaking his head. "You want to see what it's like, don't you?"

"You're dreaming!" Li Tieqiang said to Zhao Xinyi, "Want to see for yourself? Come on, open the window, smell the odor wafting out, and eat your boxed lunch!"

As soon as Zhao Xinyi opened the window, he saw three black chauffeured cars pull up, and the drivers, wearing white gloves, got out to open the doors for the passengers.

Another car was an SUV, and the driver took a wheelchair out of the trunk and put it away.

Then several young people got out of the car, making a ruckus.

Upon seeing one of the figures, Zhao Xinyi's eyes widened in surprise.

Before he could speak, Li Tieqiang slapped him against the car window.

Did you say something to Tang?

"No, Master!" Zhao Xinyi cried out, "I didn't say anything! This is slander!"

“You didn’t say, you didn’t say why he was here! And…and he even went in to eat?” Li Tieqiang admitted that he was jealous.
