"Wow… it's so crowded," said Laras, observing the large number of people passing by in the Teleportation Hub area.
"Yes, sis, there are already many foreigners moving to our island," Nita replied casually. She then continued, "People from the American alliance have been the most frequent newcomers in the past few days."
"I feel like that's not a coincidence," Laras responded. In her opinion, a major alliance like America wouldn't let this happen so easily. But when she recalled Lein's 13 million points, Laras could only stop the conspiracies running through her mind. All would bow to the strong—this was the primary rule of the realm they currently inhabited.
Just like that, the three of them exited the Teleportation Hub and boarded a Flying Bus to head to the campus.
At their level, they could actually use items that allowed them to fly. However, the flying speed depended on the user's basic strength. Except for Lein, Nita, and the ten core members, public transportation was faster and more efficient.
It was still midday, and Lein was on his way to the largest hospital in the city, Pertiwi Hospital.
Lein sat comfortably in the back seat of his luxurious car, gazing out the window while enjoying the view of the city. The midday sunlight shone on the modern buildings with grand architecture, their transparent glass reflecting the sunlight and offering a clear view of the activities inside.
On some buildings, large advertisement screens displayed 3D animations in vibrant colors, giving the scene an even more futuristic feel.
Lein also noticed several police officers guarding street corners. Clad in full uniforms, they watched over various corners of the city. With the crime rate being very low, most of their duties involved guiding foreign visitors, assisting elderly people crossing the street, and monitoring vehicles to ensure they didn't exceed the speed limit.
"Sir, please stop at McD for a moment," Lein said to his driver, pointing at a fast food restaurant not far from their view. The restaurant had a large, well-known golden "M" logo from the Earth's McDonald's.
Lein had been planning to try McDonalds for a long time but never got round to it due to her busy schedule. So, this time he will try it before going to Pertiwi Hospital.
Lein's driver skillfully maneuvered the luxury car, parking it smoothly a few meters from the grand entrance of the McD restaurant. The shiny black car gleamed under the sunlight, catching the attention of several passersby.
Everyone around the restaurant glanced at the car, but none dared to approach. They knew Lein disliked being approached recklessly, and this unspoken rule was followed diligently by the locals.
Once the car stopped perfectly, the driver quickly got out, walking to the side of the car with a respectful demeanor. He opened the door gracefully, bowing slightly as Lein stepped out.
The calmness exuded by Lein made the surrounding atmosphere feel solemn. Those nearby could only watch him respectfully, but none dared to approach. Just seeing Lein from a distance was enough for them.
Lein stood for a moment, observing the restaurant building before him. Even though it was just a fast food restaurant, its design was extraordinarily grand. The building was adorned with elegantly curved reflective glass, reflecting light and shining under the sun.
Above the main entrance was the iconic large McD logo, but here, the restaurant had a more exclusive vibe, more like a five-star restaurant compared to the McD on Earth he once knew. Every detail, from modern pillars to the holographic lights dancing in the air, made the restaurant seem as if it had come straight out of the future.
"McDonald's, true to its name, can adapt so quickly. Even if Earth's situation changes 180 degrees," Lein thought to himself. He couldn't help but admire the intelligence of the mind behind McD.
After enjoying the view for a moment, Lein walked toward the front door. As he approached, the thick glass automatic doors opened smoothly, revealing an even grander interior inside. Without rushing, Lein stepped inside, greeted by cool air that immediately hit his face.
"Welcome, Sir. How may we assist you?" A waiter greeted Lein as he entered.
The waiter spoke with a warm smile, surprising Lein slightly with their politeness. Moreover, the waiter in front of him seemed to be from outside Indonesia.
"It seems the building before me is just a McD branch," Lein murmured to himself.
Lein paused for a moment, his eyes scanning the restaurant's interior, which was vastly different from the McD he knew on Earth. This restaurant looked incredibly grand, with gleaming marble floors, holographic lights dancing in the air displaying various menus, and futuristic technology at every corner.
Holograms displayed images of burgers and fries with almost lifelike visual quality. Lein was truly amazed at this transformation—a once simple restaurant had now evolved into a high-tech dining place.
"So luxurious," Lein murmured softly, still in awe.
"Please order, Sir," the waiter handed him a digital tablet displaying the menu with holographic animations. With light enthusiasm, Lein began selecting his meal.
"I'll have a hamburger, hotdog, and soda," he said briefly.
"Certainly, Sir. We will prepare your order shortly," the waiter responded before leaving.
Lein sat on one of the luxurious chairs near the window, enjoying the bustling yet neatly arranged restaurant atmosphere.
People of various races sat enjoying their meals, some using their personal holographic devices for work or leisure. The restaurant's atmosphere felt comfortable and modern, far from the simple image of fast food restaurants on Earth.
Before long, the waiter arrived with his food. The hamburger and hotdog looked delicious with a tempting aroma, and the soda bubbled in a transparent glass.
Without hesitation, Lein took the first bite of his hamburger, his eyes narrowing slightly at the savory taste that immediately filled his mouth.
"Hmm… it tastes good," Lein said while chewing.
"Fast food is always easy and quick, but it's not something to eat every day." He chuckled softly, recalling health advice about fast food.
