Boss Yuan glanced at her and said, "Pay."
A virtual dialog box appeared in front of Lin Xue, prompting her to pay 88 RMB.
After paying, Lin Xue felt something was wrong. The price … seemed to be too high, right??
The price of the food in the Matrix game cabin was 90% lower than the price in the real world. In other words, this dish of Boss Yuan's would cost 688 RMB in the real world??
It was merely a dish, yet it was so expensive?
Lin Xue stood beside the counter and watched Boss Yuan cook.
Boss Yuan calmly took out a prepared duck and smeared the seasonings all over its body. Then, he steamed it on the steamer, letting the fat of the duck overflow. Next, he removed the broth and duck fat, let it cool for a while, and then used a clean dry cloth to absorb the moisture on the duck.
Finally, he fried the duck until it was golden brown. Then, he took it out at the right time and put it on the chopping board. Next, he used a sharp kitchen knife to cut it into small pieces. However, he didn't completely cut it off, keeping the shape of the duck and putting it on a plate. Then, he took out a small plate and filled it with salt, pepper, and various dipping sauces.
Boss Yuan put the duck on the counter and said, "Your Pot Roast Duck is ready."
Lin Xue held up the Pot Roast Duck in astonishment and put it on an empty table beside her. Then, she went to get the plate and tableware filled with the dipping sauces.
The appearance was impeccable.
Lin Xue tried to pick up a small piece of Pot Roast Duck with her chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and then put it into her mouth.
A wonderful taste instantly occupied Lin Xue's taste buds. She even forgot to chew and her expression froze.
The duck meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The duck meat inside was extremely delicate, soft, and fragrant. It didn't have the dry and dry taste of other roast ducks.
When the two tastes were mixed together, together with the taste of the sauce and dipping sauces, Lin Xue felt an unprecedented delicacy.
Obviously, the process of making this Pot Roast Duck was complicated, but each step had its own reason. By steaming the duck and skimming off the duck oil, the excessive oil in the duck could be removed and the greasy taste of many roast ducks could be avoided. After a series of procedures, the Pot Roast Duck could have the crispness of the roast duck and the freshness of the meat. It could be said that every piece of meat on the duck could give Lin Xue a different taste.
"I … I think I understand why those people are crying …"
Lin Xue forcefully suppressed the urge to gorge herself. She savored the food piece by piece, hoping that the delicious feeling would linger in her mouth for a moment longer.
If it was any other restaurant, they could just order another one after finishing one. However, this nameless restaurant only served 100 people, and each person could only order one dish randomly. If they finished the Stewed Roast Duck today, they didn't know when they would be able to eat it again.
Lin Xue still wanted more after eating the Braised Duck.
Mm, I'm not full yet!
Actually, it was normal that the players weren't full. If the players were full, they wouldn't be spending anymore. Wouldn't Salent suffer a huge loss?
Ahem, it was mainly to allow the players to eat to their heart's content without so many restrictions.
The Players still needed some time to get used to this feeling because no matter how much they ate, they were always in a state where they weren't full or hungry. This was a severe contradiction to the habits that the Players had in the real world for decades, and they would feel uncomfortable at first.
"That's great. Come back tomorrow."
Lin Xue reluctantly left the nameless restaurant and continued to stroll around.
Along the way, Lin Xue bought a lot of desserts and drinks such as champagne, cider, maté tea, tequila, bubble tea, Gin Tonic, and so on. She would drink whatever she liked. Since the prices were so cheap, it was basically free.
With the drinks in hand, she wandered to the movie theater in the Matrix Shopping Center, only to find that it wasn't open yet.
Soon, Lin Xue arrived at the entertainment area of the Matrix Shopping Center.
Because the Matrix Shopping Center was designed to be a realistic experience, the entertainment facilities in the entertainment area were basically the same as those in the real world.
On the first floor of the entertainment area, Lin Xue saw a very tall mushroom swing and a small roller coaster. On the other side, there was a man-made river with a pirate ship, a shooting range, and a pocket-sized water park.
What surprised Lin Xue the most was the aquarium tunnel in the middle.
This huge aquarium was one story high, and there were all kinds of fish inside. The tunnel passed directly through the center of the aquarium, and there was only a thin layer of glass between people and fish.
Because the physical properties of certain materials could be changed at will in the virtual world, this thin layer of glass could be made harder than steel and indestructible. People couldn't even feel the existence of this layer of glass. They could only feel that they were close to the fish.
Lin Xue saw sharks, dolphins, and all kinds of strange fish. Many tourists lingered in this tunnel. Every once in a while, they could see some new fish and get some surprises.
Apart from this, there was also the Huaxia area. The hall was covered with a red carpet, and in the middle stood a big red lantern that was ten meters tall. There were all kinds of complicated patterns on it, and there was also a huge inverted "fu" character. The decorations in this area were also traditional Huaxia style, giving people the illusion that they had traveled through time and space.
Lin Xue walked around for more than an hour and even sat on a roller coaster. She felt like she was going to go in circles.
But speaking of roller coasters, Lin Xue couldn't help but have an idea. Would there be a special amusement park in the future?
Like a skyscraper? Ferris wheel? Pirate ship? Hurricane chair? Roller coaster? Haunted house? Transparent bridge? Glass walkway?
The Matrix Shopping Center was a shopping center. Even if there were some entertainment facilities, the scale would definitely be relatively small. But what if there was a special amusement park? Something like this shouldn't be difficult at all.
But then Lin Xue thought about it again. If there was going to be an amusement park, why would they make it according to an amusement park in real life? It had to be a game version!
How could a skyscraper be as exciting as a leap of faith?
A haunted house would be much worse than Silent Hill, right?
Thinking about it this way, Lin Xue suddenly realized that there were a lot of entertainment projects that could be developed in the Matrix Shopping Center. The Matrix Shopping Center only satisfied the players' appetite, and there would definitely be more and more exciting games waiting for the players.
But by then, these projects wouldn't just feel like VR games.
