596: Being able to eat is a blessing

Hello, this is the Sixth Trading Department of the Galaxy Sector, Kenda star branch. How may I help you?

At the top of a skyscraper, a holographic image of a beautiful figure appeared before Tang Ku. Clearly, this Kenda star female's appearance was very much in line with human aesthetics: a melon-seed face, a small mouth, and blinking eyes. She looked very beautiful and lovely. Moreover, she was wearing a uniform that looked like a suit skirt, and she had a slender figure. It could be said that she was enough to satisfy the fantasies of all men.

I need to purchase the latest star map!

The woman's image chuckled and said, "You can call me Mili. I am the chief executive of the Ska Tower. The star map you want is on the top floor, but it is quite expensive. Do you have enough currency?"

Tang Ku rolled his eyes and said, "Do I look like the type of character who would come begging without money?"

Mili then looked Tang Ku up and down for a long while before suddenly exclaiming, "Oh, I'm so sorry. So you are from the Human Race... Um, please wait a moment, I will come to receive you personally!"

The holographic image disappeared. Suddenly, a beautiful aircraft appeared in mid-air. This aircraft looked like a small flying platform. A great beauty stood on the platform, appearing before Tang Ku with a smile on her face.

I am very sorry, sir. This is our tower's senior membership card. We didn't know you were from the Human Race; this was our work error. As long as you select a star map, we will give you a 40% discount... Um, damn it, Moen, where the hell did you go? Quickly take the guest to the VIP room to rest first, I will go get the star map myself... Damn it, I should just deduct all of your wages. Laziness is a mortal sin, a mortal sin, understand?

Mili yelled at the people behind her. Immediately after, two Kenda star males with slightly blue skin, dressed like hotel bellboys, appeared behind her with depressed expressions, stepping on aircraft that looked like bicycles. One of them complained, "Big Sister, you've already been promoted to this level, so there's no need to target the meager wages of us poor people! Back when we were hanging out on the streets, our brothers helped you out quite a bit. You're feeding our kindness to the Simolo beasts!"

Less nonsense. The person in front of us is our God of Wealth. You must serve him well, and there will be no shortage of benefits for you two later, understand?

The woman lectured her two subordinates right in front of Tang Ku, making Tang Ku look quite embarrassed.

Well, that's enough, I'm just here to simply buy a star map!

Before Tang Ku's laughter had even ended, the two "bellboys" over there suddenly flew over diligently on their aircraft, bowing and scraping to Tang Ku: "Of course, of course. Our brothers haven't served a big shot like you in a long time. Please come with me; I will arrange the best waiting environment for you, and of course, the dining environment and rest area as well..."

Is buying a star map that troublesome?

Tang Ku couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hehe, if you wanted an ordinary star map, I have one on hand right now and could send it to you directly. But since you want the latest star map, I have to go find it in the database, because the situation in the Universe is changing rapidly in reality, and we have to update it in real-time!

Mili chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we won't let you wait in vain. We provide free food and lodging... Hmm, from the time the star map is prepared until you receive it, it will take at least six stellar hours..."

In Tang Ku's mind, Zun Zun said: "That's about six days... probably a dozen or so hours more than on Earth... This is worth waiting for!"

Hmm, in that case, I'll leave it to you...

Tang Ku couldn't help but nod, then helplessly followed the two attendants away.

Sigh, it seems there are workhorses on every planet... With such advanced technology, has it still not given rise to the communism that was envisioned?

Tang Ku looked at the sky and said helplessly, "Sure enough, ideology is the decisive factor!"

Indeed, this tower was worthy of being called the trading branch of a planet. This place was no different from a star-rated hotel, and all kinds of facilities were as comfortable as could be. After checking in, Tang Ku's first lunch on this planet arrived.

A table full of dazzling dishes was laid out, and the various exquisite delicacies looked appetizing. Although Tang Ku couldn't even name many of the ingredients, this didn't affect his eating. In fact, being a bit gluttonous, he was really interested in these alien foods.

"Sweeping away the clouds" was barely enough to describe his style. A table full of food was actually swept clean by him, and he still seemed to want more.

The two bellboys were dumbfounded watching him eat. On their planet, besides the Tiegelang beasts in the northwest wilderness, only those long-term training Esper warriors had this kind of appetite. The human in front of them was obviously not a Tiegelang beast, so there was only one explanation: his physical consumption was huge, almost comparable to an ordinary Esper warrior.

This human in front of them, who seemed thin and small, actually possessed physical strength comparable to an Esper warrior?

How could this be possible?

The two suddenly thought of a legend and immediately began to serve Tang Ku even more diligently, making this former ascetic monk feel quite embarrassed.

After finishing his meal, Tang Ku greeted the two of them and went out to purchase other necessities, such as drinking water and food, as well as some things specifically to replenish energy for Zun Zun.

The two originally wanted to follow and serve him, but were sternly refused by Tang Ku, who told them to just wait in the hotel.

Are the people on this planet always so enthusiastic?

Tang Ku followed Zun Zun's guidance and walked all the way to the drinking water purchasing point.

"Their enthusiasm is only directed at the Human Race, and besides... your appetite is too astonishing..." Zun Zun explained, "The Kenda star people are a nation that admires strength. On this planet, the more one can eat, the stronger their physical power is... Your appetite is even much greater than their Esper warriors, so they will be even more respectful to you!"

"In a sense, the more one can eat, the stronger one is, which isn't wrong, but this only refers to the biological physical ability itself, not involving any Cultivate Domain!"

Tang Ku chuckled and said, "Hmm... Boss, how do you sell drinking water here?"

"Pure fresh water is 7,000 per ten thousand hao, with nutrient solution it's 9,000, and with energy blocks it's 10,000. Do you want... uh, you are from the Human Race?"

This busy boss was actually a young man. When he saw that Tang Ku was of the Human Race, he was taken aback and immediately said, "If it's the Human Race, I can give you a discount. You probably need pure fresh water, right? Just give me 5,000 per ten thousand hao!"

"What unit is ten thousand hao?" Tang Ku asked Zun Zun in his mind.

"It's equivalent to a little over six tons. We don't know how long our voyage will be, so it's always good to buy more!" Zun Zun said.

Tang Ku nodded and immediately said to the boss: "I want one hundred thousand hao of pure fresh water, just keep the price as is... Hmm, but you have to tell me, where can I buy alcohol on this planet!"
