Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 919 Maintenance
"So now the problem is back to you." At dinner, Phaethon brought back employee meals from McDonald's.

Life returned to its previous state in a short period of time, and it seemed that nothing had changed, but everything was about to change.

"Yeah," Shangluo nodded while eating a hamburger.

"Any news from New Antioch?"

"Those automatons are still making bread. But it seems that there is still some time before the number of toasters explodes exponentially. We still have a chance to clean up the internal problems first."

"Is this considered a PVE novice tutorial mode?"

"Maybe." Shang Luo shook his head. "However, I guess the chef doesn't have any bad intentions, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted the interview with Jin Yiwei. Although he couldn't say anything except 'I want to make bread', he didn't seem to do anything else. However, I won't let my guard down. Before I came back for dinner, I asked Jin Yiwei to bring back an automatic machine."

"'Bring' one?" asked Phaethon.

"Just kidnap one. Capture one and bring him back. I want to find out what's going on and see if we should be more conservative or more radical."

"I guess what's the conservative solution? 'I think you're being too conservative.' So what's the conservative solution?"

"Blast it again."

"Then you should reconsider it! It's not easy for New Antioch to survive! After Pompey and Alexander the Great, one-sixth of Rome is gone. If you destroy it again, you won't be able to rebuild it."

"I know, I know. That's why I sent out spies first. This person is very conservative - the radical kind of conservative. Sometimes I feel that I am so conservative that I am like an antique, because there are many people in the court who want to destroy everything at any time."

"I say, the reason why I asked you to take over this position temporarily is because you are a good person?"

"That's right! Compared to many of the ministers, I am a very kind person, extremely kind."

"You are quite steady." Although he didn't want to admit it, Shangluo was the only one who could speak for both sides, because he was not on either side, but was a guest, but the nature of the guests was different. In Rome, he was a guest, and in Daming, he was a child staying with distant relatives.

Although Shangluo would definitely stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty, Victoria did not regard Shangluo as an outsider.

This delicate relationship between inside and outside allows him to sit firmly in this position with the right identity.

This delicate identity is just right for maintaining this delicate relationship. For example, whether to drop bombs on Xin'antiaoke again, if someone else in the court was in charge, they would probably just drop bombs when Zhu Xianxun was not around. But Shangluo can see that Xin'antiaoke has the potential to become a helper, and it may come in handy in the future.

"Eat more." Phaethon handed Shangluo another hamburger.

"Oh, that's fine. I can't eat any more. They're just burgers anyway."

"Eat another one. I'm afraid you'll get hungry and throw bombs at New Antioch. Now that you have the hammer in your hand, you may see other things as nails."

"Okay." Shangluo shook his head and ate the hamburger that Phaethon handed over. He wasn't very hungry until lunch the next day.

"Eh? Shangluo, you don't seem to have much appetite today?" Qi Yuan asked him while tidying up the books on the table.

"Ah, I'm full."

Qi Yuan lowered his voice and asked, "Is it related to cultivation? I also found that after I broke through to become a true Qigong practitioner, I always felt that my appetite began to decrease. But when I eat spiritual roots, I don't feel as full as before."

"That's true." Shang Luo nodded. "As far as I know, this happens to many Qigong practitioners. Because as their realms break through, their reliance on material things becomes less and less. Until they reach the Golden Core stage, they can completely rely on the Small Circulation to function without the need for the Big Circulation. At that time, they really only need to drink the northwest wind and collect a wisp of purple air between heaven and earth."

"Wow, wouldn't that be boring?"

"It's not that you can't eat. Immortals are free and unrestrained, so eating or not is just a choice. As far as I know, let alone the Golden Core Stage, some people start to regulate their appetites when they reach the Foundation Establishment Stage - while some people start to eat excessively after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"Are you talking about General Bai Feng? I've heard that he often eats for free and often treats people. It seems that he can eat eight meals a day. By the way, is he also practicing confrontation with the court now? Has the court found a good solution?"

"Not yet." Shangluo shook his head.

Suddenly, he remembered something -

"Oh, by the way, squad leader. Don't we have to rush to the cafeteria to grab food now? Why are you still sitting here?"

"Don't worry, the cafeteria has been restructured. There is now a lunch ticket vending machine in front of the cafeteria. After buying the ticket in advance, just go to the corresponding window to get your meal. The meal is now automatically served, fast and accurate, and your hands don't shake when you serve the food. If you say 2 taels of sweet corn, it's exactly right, with an error of 3 grains of corn."

"Oh, no wonder everyone is not in a hurry. Now we can eat it as long as we go there, right? Then we can choose the lunch coupons, right? Don't we have to fight for the delicious set meals?"

"It's strange, it's like the cafeteria knows what each of us likes to eat. There are 5 kinds of set meals, but they always sell out all 5, so everyone can basically have what they want. This is amazing, I feel like the cafeteria knows me better than I know myself. How does it know what I want to eat today?"

[It's data analysis. It seems that the supply system of your school cafeteria has been automated. If I'm not mistaken, it may be that a lot of Tianyi Guiren are used. ]

“Is the effect so good?”

[Northern Zhili uses this system for central planning, which can achieve the best balance between demand and supply. Solving the lunch problem for a group of students is not a small matter - although the problem itself is very complicated, because "what do you want to eat today" is completely metaphysical. But the Tianyi nobles are also the product of metaphysics, and using metaphysics to solve metaphysical problems is quite wonderful. ]

"This is a good thing. When everyone ascends to heaven, everyone can be free and easy. As for cooking in the cafeteria, if you want to cook, then do it. If no one likes it, just let Doudou do it. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

[However, there are also problems that Doudou cannot solve. 】
