After nearly an hour of research, Hao Ren finally confirmed one thing: the MDT in his hand did not have any major problems, but minor ones. Even though he was a layman who came into contact with this high-tech gadget for the first time, he could tell that there was something wrong with the system of this little device. Many of the functions seemed inexplicable, and a lot of information had nothing to do with him. He even asked the AI of the MDT, but even the AI had no idea what these things were for. Anyway, Raven 12345 had asked it to install them, so it installed them.
That's right, Raven 12345 had ordered it to install them, not the system itself. Every MDT from the headquarters of the Space Administration had actually been initialized. Logically speaking, they should all be the same after they were sent to the grassroots. However, the management of the grassroots had the right to add some special programs to these MDT according to the local conditions, such as the local biological encyclopedia, the local interstellar route map, or the pregnancy care guide for female inspectors. Anyway, no matter how strange it was, it could be found in the Master Library of the Xiling Empire. So, the MDT could install an endless number of programs. And here was the problem. Hao Ren's local commander was a crazy woman (goddess?). She obviously knew nothing about technology, but she did not know how to apply for a few more mysterious devices. Unfortunately, she was the kind of person who liked to get involved in everything herself. After Hao Ren's MDT was sent here, the first thing he did was let Raven 12345 play with it for a long time...
Now, Hao Ren and Vivian were staring at the vast "PT-385 Encyclopedia of the Universe Series" (a set of 2,000 books) on the MDT and fell into a daze. He found that he could not delete this headache-inducing thing. In fact, all the messy stuff that Raven 12345 had installed on the MDT could not be deleted. It was locked by high-level permissions...
"I suggest you make do with it," a line of words appeared on the MDT. "My function is still complete. You have everything you need. You just need to suppress your obsessive-compulsive disorder and adapt to the massive amount of junk information in your portable device. Because if you ask Commander Raven 12345 for a replacement, she will only give you a worse situation. This is what I found after checking the local network guestbook. Everyone who has dealt with Commander Raven 12345 has complained about similar incidents, and the complaint rate is 100%. She is a person who is very good at breaking things. "
"Forget it," Hao Ren quickly waved his hand. He was only depressed for a while, and then his optimism took over, and he put the matter aside. "Anyway, you are the one who manages the system data. Out of sight, out of mind, I won't be bothered. I'll just pretend they don't exist. Is that okay?"
A line of words immediately popped up on the MDT. "This machine has excellent performance and powerful query function. Users do not have to worry."
In the near future, Hao Ren would definitely realize that he had made the right decision today.
"Let's go down and eat." Hao Ren put the MDT back in his pocket and completely put the matter at the back of his mind. He then looked up at the elegant antique clock in the corner and said, "Lily has been down there for an hour. Why hasn't she moved? Is she lost or something?"
"That big dog is a glutton. There's a buffet here in the morning. She must eat until she comes out holding the wall." Vivian curled her lips. "She has no manners. That's all she's got."
Hao Ren shrugged wordlessly and led Vivian out of the room. Soon, they arrived at the cafeteria on the first floor.
The United Kingdom was a slow-paced country. On many occasions, the atmosphere here was slightly lazy and unhurried. The locals generally started their day at nine o 'clock in the morning, including their breakfast. Hao Ren was obviously not used to such a schedule. He was still jet-lagged. The first thing he welcomed was an unprecedentedly quiet breakfast: there were only a few people in the cafeteria. So, he and Vivian easily spotted Lily in the middle of the cafeteria. The werewolf maiden's sense of presence was unusually high. She occupied a large table and ate like a tiger crouching on a dragon's plate. There were already three or four clean trays in front of her...
Hao Ren blinked and said, "They say that Britain is the home of the dark culinary world. Looking at Lily's table manners... it doesn't seem to be as serious as the rumors say?"
Vivian was very disdainful. "She's just an omnivore. She's not a picky eater."
Hao Ren took the tray and walked around the long food table. Fortunately, he found out that not all British dishes were like an unknown substance. Of course, this might have something to do with the nature of the buffet. In short, he managed to find something that he dared to eat among the oddly colored dishes. He then took the tray to Lily's side. "Not full yet?"
"Yes, yes," Lily's mouth was full. She swallowed hard and tried to speak clearly. "The vegetable salad here is delicious! The fruit is delicious too! I just don't like the barbecue here. It's not as good as home... "
Hao Ren looked into Lily's eyes and said softly, "As a werewolf, aren't you ashamed of your diet?"
Lily said righteously, "Who told you not to sell big bones here!"
Hao Ren felt that there was no way he could communicate with this werewolf.
He then turned his head and saw Vivian sitting on the other side. He could not help but say, "Didn't you just say that I'm a good-for-nothing? Where do you think you are?"
The tray in front of Vivian could be described as a moving hill. Some of the food that Hao Ren thought was a mystery had been picked out by her. The vampire maiden, who was used to being poor, could not suppress the restlessness in her heart when she came to the buffet. She was just saying that Lily was a good-for-nothing, but the next moment, she was more of a country bumpkin than anyone else!
"I've never experienced such a good life before!" The vampire maiden's mouth was also stuffed with food. She mumbled the second half of her sentence as if she was mumbling ventriloquism. "If I don't eat today, I don't know when I'll get the chance to eat like this again..."
Hao Ren was glad that most people in England started their daily meals at around nine o'clock. There were only a dozen people in the restaurant, including the waiters. Otherwise, he would not have been able to live with the two starving ghosts!
As the three of them were busy with their breakfast, a tall and skinny man walked over with his food. Hao Ren heard a gentle voice coming from the side. "May I sit here?"
Hao Ren looked up and saw that it was a man he did not know. The man was wearing a thin white shirt and black trousers. He was tall and skinny, clean and neat. He had short black hair and was not exactly handsome, but he had a capable and reliable look. Of course, the most eye-catching feature of the man was his Asian face. Hao Ren took a look and was almost certain that the man was Chinese.
"Oh, there's no one here. Make yourself at home." Hao Ren saw that there was an empty seat across from him and nodded. At the same time, he noticed that there were empty tables everywhere in the restaurant. The tall and skinny man in front of him had no reason to "share a table" with him. Therefore, he was curious and wary of the stranger in front of him.
He still remembered his "top secret mission", so he was much more vigilant than before.
The sudden appearance of an outsider reminded Vivian that she was a high-ranking member of the Blood Clan. She quickly slowed down her eating speed and tried to keep a straight face, pretending to be a cultured aristocrat. If she could wipe the oil off her face, it would be more convincing.
"It's not easy to meet someone from the same hometown here." The tall and skinny man sat down and spoke in a friendly manner. He was not as difficult to communicate with as he had given Hao Ren in the beginning. "Are you here for a holiday?"
"Someone from the same hometown?" Hao Ren did not expect his guess to be right. Due to the existence of the translation program, he could not distinguish whether the man was speaking Chinese or some other language. Now that he heard the man said that he was from the same hometown, he could finally confirm his guess. "Are you from China as well?"
"I'm a native of China, but I often travel around the world." The tall and thin man chuckled. "It's not easy to meet a fellow countryman here, so I came over … I hope I didn't cause you any trouble?"
Hao Ren quickly waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
"That's good." The tall and skinny man nodded and then said casually, "Are you looking for a place called Yorkford?"
