That's beside the point, of course.
However, precisely because of this, in addition to its enticing aroma, the fast food also looks very appealing.
After Zhou Qing's Little Gray classmate applied scientific and precise plating techniques that everyone would love, the dish was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
How could the soldiers of the Creek Death Legion, who had never eaten anything good except for military training and major battles, have ever seen such a thing before?
He swallowed hard the moment he opened the lunchbox.
"Gudong..."
It smells so good, it looks so beautiful, like a work of art. I want to eat it but I can't bear to.
The visuals in Chapter 6 gradually became more and more absurd.
Heavy breathing came from beneath the gas mask of the Krieg soldier. His trembling fingers hovered above the mess kit, as if he dared not touch it before some sacred offering.
Although soldiers are supposed to be informal, for some reason this soldier from Krieg felt he shouldn't reach out and touch the food in the mess box.
The food was so exquisite and refined that it was clear at a glance that only nobles could afford it.
He felt that if he were to directly reach out and grab the food, it would be a bit too sacrilege, a desecration of the divine emperor's grace.
Indeed, in his view, being able to eat such delicious food and see such exquisite dishes was undoubtedly a blessing from the God Emperor.
Moreover, he felt that he was actually a sinner and should not be entitled to such a great gift, but this gift was indeed placed in front of him.
Therefore, he must respect it with utmost respect, rather than carelessly desecrate this gift.
Zhou Qing noticed that the other person kept their hand hovering over the lunchbox without actually touching it, so to ease the other person's embarrassment, he pointed to the small button next to the lunchbox.
"Use a spoon," Zhou Qing pointed to the folding cutlery embedded in the edge of the lunchbox, "Press here and it will pop out."
The soldier abruptly took half a step back, his entrenching tool tracing a warning arc in front of him. But when he realized Zhou Qing was simply sitting quietly, he finally cautiously poked the indicated spot with the tip of his tool.
With a soft "click," the silver-white streamlined fork unfolded, and a miniature hologram of the Federal emblem engraved on the handle projected a translucent eagle pattern into the air.
[The tableware disinfection process has been completed] The mechanical AI on the lunchbox announced in High Gothic language.
Zhou Qing specially added this to the lunchbox so that he could give the soldier opposite him a little bit of educational information.
After all, he is not a citizen of the Federation and should not know how to use these things from the Federation.
To be honest, while doing this, Zhou Qing felt that he was really too smart to have come up with such a clever idea.
Little did they know that it was this very remark about the lunchbox that startled the soldier from the Krieg Death Legion so much that he almost knocked it over.
This was the soldier's initial reaction.
Don't expect the soldiers of the Krieg Death Legion to know too much.
For them, combat is everything, so it's normal for him to mistake this thing for a machine spirit.
Because they were unaware of these things, Zhou Qing also discovered a huge loophole in the current laws of the Human Empire.
He even added a basic AI feature to the lunchbox for convenience.
It was precisely because of this seemingly thoughtful gesture that he witnessed a scene he never even dared to imagine.
The soldier from the Krieg Death Legion opposite Zhou Qing actually put down the lunchbox and respectfully placed it on a table that Zhou Qing had prepared for his own convenience.
The soldiers of the Death Legion stood up respectfully and then knelt before the lunchbox.
As a soldier of the Krieg Death Legion who had served for a full year and was already a veteran, he had encountered the priests of the Cult of Mechanics.
During a chance conversation, he remembered a priest telling him that if a machine spirit became displeased, it was essential to apply holy oil to it.
Think carefully about what you just did.
To actually hold the body of the machine spirit in one's own hands, and to prepare to use one's filthy hands to grab the food inside, is simply blasphemy.
The machine spirit must be anointed with holy oil to soothe and bless it.
Zhou Qing stood quietly to the side, watching as the soldier from the Krieg Death Legion opposite him seemed to be searching for something on his body. Then he saw the soldier take out a small bottle.
This small bottle was given to the soldier by a technical priest during his last operation.
Immediately afterward, Zhou Qing saw the other person pour some liquid from the small bottle and then start smearing it around the lunchbox.
Zhou Qing didn't understand the meaning behind this guy's actions, but after all, he was a fellow human being.
There must be a reason why our fellow human beings do this, so Zhou Qing simply stood at a distance and watched their every move.
Human compatriots will also enjoy the citizenship rights of the Human Federation after they arrive, so we should respect them.
This is the basic quality he possessed as a former senior researcher in the Federation, and the basic quality he now possesses as a pioneer in the Federation.
The soldiers of the Death Legion moved with unusual devotion.
He knelt in front of the lunchbox, dipped his calloused fingers in the liquid from the small bottle, and drew a crooked gear symbol on the surface of the lunchbox.
Zhou Qing then noticed that the liquid had a strange blue glow in his psionic vision—it was actually mechanical lubricating oil mixed with promethium!
"May Omnisaya forgive my blasphemy..." the soldier prayed softly, then suddenly bit his finger and dripped blood onto the folded joint of the lunchbox.
The moment the blood touched the metal, the lunchbox suddenly emitted a "humming" vibration, which startled him so much that he immediately banged his head on the ground.
Zhou Qing finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Um... actually, you don't have to do that..."
But it was clear that the soldiers were completely ignoring what Zhou Qing was saying.
He stubbornly continued to smear the mysterious liquid on the lunchbox. To be honest, Zhou Qing couldn't stand watching him do this and smear food like this.
Considering that the other party hadn't responded to his words, Zhou Qing didn't speak up again to remind him.
He wasn't worried that the soldier opposite him would dirty his food.
The lunchbox is also cleaned; his mysterious liquid lunchbox will take care of it.
Moreover, this soldier was at least intelligent enough not to smear that liquid on his food.
In Zhou Qing's opinion, the soldier's intelligence should be considered to be above average; at least he didn't do anything too stupid.
[Liquid contamination detected, cleaning protocol initiated]
The invisible light swept across the surface of the lunchbox, wiping away the soldier's blood and removing all the unknown liquids.
This action made the Krieg soldier even more anxious, so he quickly took out more holy oil and smeared it on the surface of the mess box.
This scene made Zhou Qing's eyelids twitch.
To be honest, he didn't understand at all what kind of custom this was, why they would put this mysterious liquid on their lunchbox before eating.
Is this some kind of bizarre ritual?
In his mind, Zhou Qing defined the behavior of the soldier from the Krieg Death Legion in front of him as, for example, that people from the Human Federation should wash their hands before eating.
Although it seems bizarre no matter how you look at it, I still respect it even if I don't understand it.
That being said, Zhou Qing's eyelids kept twitching as he watched the other party's behavior, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
Although we are all human beings, theoretically we should give our fellow human beings a certain amount of respect and respect their peculiar traditions.
But Zhou Qing really couldn't hold back anymore.
He reached out his hand and, before the Krieg soldier could react, grasped his hand, stopping him from continuing to apply the holy oil.
"What are you doing? Don't you know what that stuff is made of? It's obviously not edible!"
"If you smear this on and accidentally get it into your food, and you eat that meal, I'm 60% sure your fragile body will be instantly killed."
"There are no medical facilities in this desolate place. If something happens to you or you get sick, I won't be able to treat you."
So you'd better just listen to me and let it go, hurry up and eat. As for your outrageous ritual, we'll talk about it after you finish eating.”
Zhou Qing's words were full of consideration for the other party, after all, he had already noticed that the other party was hungry.
But the Krieg soldier didn't think so; he was focused on calming the machine spirit.
Because Zhou Qing's act of handing him food was a blessing from the Divine Emperor, it proved that the Krieg soldiers no longer harbored any resentment towards Zhou Feng.
After all, such exquisite food must be a gift from the God Emperor, and Zhou Qing, who brought him this gift, couldn't possibly be a bad person.
This is the simplest idea of the Krieg soldiers.
However, the fact that the other party once again stopped him from applying holy oil to the mess box surprised the Krieg soldier.
On one side is the person who brought him the Emperor's favor, and on the other side is the machine spirit who is clearly somewhat dissatisfied. What should he do?
Krieg's soldiers had never encountered such a complex problem before, not even as veterans who had served a full year.
Chapter 7 The Blushing Soldier of the Krieg Death Legion
Seeing the other person's conflicted expression, and combining it with the memories he had previously searched out of the other person's brain using his psychic abilities, Zhou Qing still tentatively spoke up, even though it was somewhat difficult to understand.
“Eat, soldier! This is a gift from the God Emperor. The God Emperor wants you to eat, not to comfort the machine spirits here.”
"The Machine Soul is not displeased; it is overjoyed."
Zhou Qing always felt like the head of a pyramid scheme, and his words were full of religious connotations.
This was a solution that his super brain had temporarily put together for him. Although he didn't know who this God Emperor was, he figured it must be some kind of deity.
This was Zhou Qing's only thought.
The Federation of Humankind also has gods.
After all, once the people of the Federation are well-fed and clothed, they sometimes pursue spiritual things.
In this case, the existence of gods becomes necessary.
Some powerful psychics in the Federation of Humanity will be deified by the Federation.
After being deified, they became public servants and received better treatment.
Generally speaking, after being deified, their spiritual energy cultivation speed will be much faster, which is one of the benefits of being deified.
However, they must act in accordance with the provisions of federal law and to the best of their ability when faced with the demands of the people.
If they cannot meet the demands of the underprivileged, even if they are within their power and within the bounds of federal law.
Without a doubt, this god will be eliminated, and if no one believes in him, the Federation will naturally abolish the existence of this god.
The Federation does not impose many restrictions on gods, including gods from other races.
