Chapter 5 The Cultural Man
Ordinary people can quickly improve their strength by using prosthetics, thereby increasing their competitiveness and obtaining more positions, such as interstellar security guards.
Therefore, prosthetic body modification used to be very popular among the poor, and it can be regarded as a way to change their destiny.
Unfortunately, with the promulgation of a bill, the status of these people plummeted.
The muscular man in front of me probably just completed some dangerous mission and wanted to come to the club to relax, but he was turned away.
How miserable...
Lu Li saw that his face kept changing, from green to red, and finally turned pale.
"I understand. Please refund the membership fee. You don't have to double it. Just compensate the original price."
This is Brother Muscle’s last stubbornness.
The female manager bowed to thank the customer for their understanding and presented her bank card with both hands.
Although it is unclear how many credits are stored in it, looking at this posture, it is obvious that ATOM Club has been prepared for a long time and is waiting for customers to come to draw a clear line with them.
"You can go elsewhere. The ban only applies to high-end entertainment venues." The female manager said sweetly as she watched the guests leave.
The remnants of the old era cannot find a ship that can carry them in the new era...
The moment he turned around, Roger felt a similar emotion in his heart. In fact, he had just finished an interstellar voyage that lasted for half a year, and when he returned to his home star, he found that everything had changed.
"This gentleman, can you give me your contact information?"
Lu Li suddenly spoke because he found that Muscle Brother Gui had a spaceship tattooed on his arm, and he must be engaged in work related to it.
Can't be a captain?
Give someone a job at the head office.
After recognizing the reality, Lu Li became pragmatic and felt that working on a ship during the summer vacation was an option and completely acceptable.
Name: Lu Li
Occupation:student
Body modification: None
Criminal record: None
Roger raised his mechanical eyes and scanned the handsome boy next to him. He thought to himself: Original human beings, how envious they are. From now on, they will have unlimited possibilities.
Thinking of this, he raised his brass-colored metal cheeks and let out a long sigh.
"Interstellar Security, Roger, affiliated with Terry Cargo Company."
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant hand was handed over to him.
"Lu Li, a student who is about to graduate, is very interested in the stars."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Roger's face. He noticed the last sentence and took out a metal business card from his pocket, "We will have a chance to talk more in the future."
Lu Li immediately made a gesture to make a phone call and watched Roger leave with a smile.
"Mr. Lu."
After being the backdrop for so long, Masami Shitaya didn't have any complaints in her heart. After seeing Lu Li finish socializing, she took the initiative to step forward and hold his arm: "We have been waiting for you."
What does it mean to feel at home?
This is.
It was obviously the first time for me to come here. From the young and beautiful female manager to the receptionist, they all acted as if they were welcoming regular customers.
"Come this way." Miss Yamei's graceful figure swayed, leading the guests towards the VIP room.
It was a heavy metal door. Standing outside, you could vaguely hear the lively singing and dancing, screaming, and the sound of women laughing inside.
Lu Li was not stage frightened, but asked with a smile: "Don't you need to apply for a membership card?"
Miss Yamei was stunned for a moment and said frankly: "Our new rules are that all guests who have not undergone prosthetic transformation will receive the highest standards of courtesy."
"Of course, the drink fee cannot be waived, and the maximum discount is 30% off."
Having said this, Miss Yamei opened the door of the VIP room, and the neon light flowed out, turning her eyes into colored pupils.
In addition, the expected erotic scene did not appear, there was a corridor inside:
There is a small bar and a long dining table. The guests wear glasses and sit quietly on the sofa, showing silly smiles from time to time.
Hmm... I don't know what the specific content is, but it can't be Ultraman.
"VR experience area, some guests with limited budget will choose to spend money here."
Miss Yamei seemed to be hinting at something.
However, Lu Li still had some ambition despite being poor. He had 5,000 credits in his card, which was enough to go in and experience life.
Seeing that the young guest in front of him didn't show any expression, Shimaya Masami said no more and continued walking inside.
The end of the corridor is shrouded in pale pink light.
After turning in, the space became spacious. At this moment, a woman was dancing on the stage. Beside her, two silhouettes projected by cutting-edge technology imitated her movements in real time.
Wearing a short skirt, black socks, and high heels, she was far more beautiful than the waitress standing at the door to greet her.
In addition, ancient paintings are carved on the walls.
"The fan shooting at Yashima is based on "The Tale of the Heike". It tells the story of the fourth year of Shounaga. The two sides, Minamoto and Taira, fought on Yashima for a whole day. The war ended at sunset, and the Heike family sailed their warships offshore to rest."
Sensing that Lu Li was very interested in this, Miss Masami continued to explain in a gentle voice: "In order to provoke the Genji clan, the Taira family sent a small boat with a beautiful woman on board, and rowed it to a place forty yards offshore. A long pole was set up on the bow of the boat, and the top of the boat was
Pick a golden sun fan with a red background and wave to Minamoto Yoshitsune on the shore.
Minamoto no Yoshitsune didn't want to be plotted, and he couldn't refuse to fight, so he asked the sharpshooter Nasu Yuichi to shoot the fan. Nasu Yuichi rode his horse into the water, said Namu Hachiman Bodhisattva's blessing, and shot down the fan with one arrow."
The neon lights here are bright and there are young girls showing off their figures everywhere, but these classical murals are chosen as the decoration style.
To increase cultural heritage?
What are entertainment venues so particular about?
However, this was Lu Li's first time coming into contact with something related to the earth. He couldn't help but ask, "Then do you know which country this story takes place in?"
Shimaya Masami was stunned again. In the past, after introducing a story to the guests, they would express their feelings, either praising the club for its rich knowledge or praising her for her knowledge and ability to remember.
The only exception is the guest I met today. He seems to know a lot of ancient knowledge.
"The guest knows?" Yami asked.
Seeing this, Lu Li couldn't help but feel disappointed. He finally saw that the female manager had only memorized some allusions in advance and didn't know anything else.
"At first, this country was called Japanese by the heavenly kingdom. Later, the Japanese sent an envoy to congratulate Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty for pacifying Goguryeo. Because he knew some Chinese, he felt that the word "Japanese" was not elegant, so he changed the country's name to Japan. The envoy called himself Japan.
The country is named after the place near where the sun rises.”
Lu Li gave the future illiterate some history lessons.
In fact, he only knew this allusion because Abe, also known as Chao Heng, said it himself when he went on vacation in the Tang Dynasty last time.
At this time, Miss Yamei blinked and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Celestial dynasty, Japanese country, sugar cake rice dumplings?
And what about the Land of the Rising Sun?
Never heard of any of them.
It is year 6597 in the cosmic calendar.
