Aizu City is divided into three areas: Huicheng District, No. 26 Highland, and Katagi District.

Xu Yang ready to meet him, he set out from where he lived which is Huicheng District, to a ramen shop called Jingquanwu in No. 26 Heights.

100 million, he sure got the guts to say that.

I will have to accept it, even if this is just a deception, or I am being exploited and only receive ten thousand. 

After all, people who left the company have to take care of their own interests, not to mention that I can't make ends meet now.

There is a price for freedom.

Xu Yang wore sunglasses and a mask, and with both of his hands in his pockets, he walked through the street in a low-key manner. There were few pedestrians around. A large shuttle flew over the public airway above. Aizu was an underground city. The blue sky above was just a projection projected on an icy screen, simulating an empty blue sky.

Xu Yang took a glance at the ramen shop signboard and  walked into the shop.

Izumiya Ramen is a small-scale independent brand and it has 10 branches in Aizu City.

This store also uses the common network technology, and each device is connected to a network.

The key used by civilians is very simple, after all its level is only 5. There is no security program in it. Xu Yang easily hacked into it.

Xu Yang looked at the list. There were four cameras, two security alarm bells, four electric stoves, an automatic noodle-cooking robot, a card puncher, twenty-six smart dining tables, two floating service robots, and a high-definition wall-mounted TV. ...

Their information and status are clear in Xu Yang's digital mind.

There are not many guests in the Izumiya Ramen shop. It is a very quiet place, with bright yellow light spreading across all directions, giving a warm feeling similar to spring. The dining tables are separated by classical screens and the classical screens were decorated with flying birds and dogs which were painted hazily. The materials of the classical screens are difficult to distinguish.

The TV is playing a show about mutant fighting, showing two winged monsters fighting fiercely. They are created by using biotechnology and transformed from monitor lizards, their appearance resembles flying dragons, and they are monsters recreated from the witch era. They wore armor and have implants in their body.  Their roars and screams are synthesized electronically. One of the creatures was slightly inattentive, and its throat was bitten off, the metal scales peeled off, and the mechanical parts were damaged, while sizzling sounds of electric sparks were heard. Blood and fuel sprayed from the wound, the creature exploded after falling to the ground, and the audience went into a frenzy. 

"Welcome!" A hovering robot quickly rose from behind the counter and came to serve Xu Yang.

Xu Yang's eyes shifted from the TV to the robot. On its screen was a cute cartoonish smiley face, dragging his thoughts from the ethereal ancient times back to reality.

"Take me to table 40." Xu Yang said the agreed location.

"Please follow me!"

Xu Yang passed by several geisha robots lying on the sofa. Their faces were painted white, apparently, makeup was applied to their metal skin. In the middle of the tab, there was a huge glass fish tank, and countless air bubbles sprayed from the air pipe below. In it were 3D projected landscape fish swimming slowly. One of them had a bug, and in the place that was supposed to be the head of the fish became a string of garbled characters.

Table 40 is a cubicle with two rows of cotton sofas and translucent silk door curtains. Two red lanterns with the word "order" hung high above the curtains, and a pleasant fragrance spread in the air.

Xu Yang opened the door curtains, and within seconds of taking his seat, he heard heavy footsteps.

Turning his head, he saw a burly black man walking toward him. The other party was wearing sunglasses. He has thick lips, and a string of gold rings on his ears. He wore a military vest and camouflage pants with high-barrel studded leather shoes. Paired holsters hang from his belt. These days, with the lack of social security and regulations, shootings may break out on the street at any time, so such a manner of dressing is not uncommon.

"Hey." He sat opposite Xu Yang, leaning forward, he took off his sunglasses, smiled, and reached out to Xu Yang.

"The amount you gave," Xu Yang said, "Is it real or not?"

"Let's eat, what do you prefer?" The black man turned to the ordering screen of the smart desktop and randomly selected a few dishes.

"I am not picky."

The black man poked a few times and chose fried chicken, ramen, rice balls, and rice cakes.

"You look very relaxed." Xu Yang said.

"I don't know if you are a frivolous impostor," the black man said, "or a real neuro- hacker."

Xu Yang pulled out the cable from his wrist and plugged it into the port on the side of the table.

This was originally intended to provide charging services for some customers, but now it is used by Xu Yang for data transmission. It is more convenient to control when wired, as controlling remotely is more laborious.

As soon as the black man clicked on the payment interface, he found that the price changed rapidly. The settlement price changed from 260 at the beginning to 250,000, the figure then became astronomical large, before finally becoming 0.

"My words." The black man had to admire, "Only one second?"

"One-tenth of a second."
