Chapter 3 Amaterasu·Eatertainment
Tianzhao returned to the restaurant, angrily went to the manager of the restaurant and complained: "There is a thief in your restaurant...he stole my robot."
The store manager is very young, probably less than thirty years old, maintaining the politeness required by his profession, he asked, "A robot? How old is it?"
"It's only as big as a palm." Amaterasu raised his two palms up and down, making a gesture of about eight inches in front of his chest.
"Do you have any photos?" The store manager remained calm.
Amaterasu took out his mobile phone and opened the photo of the robot.
The store manager nodded and asked the waiters to come over one by one, and everyone shook their heads.
The store manager asked Amaterasu again: "Where did you miss it?"
"I put the robot on the table, and when I turned my head, it disappeared."
"Miss, our restaurant has a self-service salad bar - you have been there just now - a lot of people are walking around, so we have already reminded everyone -"
He bent over and took a plastic sign with red letters on a white background from the table, "Please take good care of your belongings. If there is any loss, the store will not be responsible."
He reversed the plastic card, with Japanese and Chinese on one side, and English and Korean on the other.
Of course Amaterasu had seen this brand, and put a piece on every table.Even when she was seated, the waiter reminded her to be careful about her belongings.
So, after she sat down, she never left her bag, even when she went to the salad bar; even after she sat down, she put her handbag on her lap instead of on the chair next to her.
Probably because of his extraordinarily cautious, it attracted the attention of sharp-eyed thieves.Originally, after she had finished her lunch and enjoyed dessert, she was going to sit for another hour, sneak away from her busy schedule, and reward herself.
The name of the restaurant is Eatertainment.The person who took this name played with words, put Eat into Entertainment, and told everyone: Eat is entertainment.
Amaterasu likes it.Eating is more than entertainment, it is a great enjoyment in life.
Eat as much as you want, eat recklessly, at most you can exercise after eating.
What she ate was genetically modified food imported from abroad.In the case of food wars and abnormal weather, only this kind of food can adapt to the volatile growing environment and feed more people with a relatively stable harvest.
Organic food is definitely better, but it's also much more expensive and won't make her feast on it.
The sun outside was so fierce that it seemed as if even the buildings were about to melt.The heat on the road gave everything a surreal twist: she wouldn't be surprised if there were giant beasts like brontosaurus, stegosaurus, and mammoth standing in order on the road waiting for the green light.
Surrounded by the air-conditioning, the sun becomes very gentle. When it shines on the body, it is like an invisible touch, which is a great enjoyment in life.
She took the robot with the humanoid software out of her handbag and put it on the table, letting him enjoy the scenery of the human real world.
They stare out the window together, and...
When she was a little absorbed in thinking about something, and her thoughts drifted to nowhere, in the blink of an eye, the robot installed with humanoid software continued Ning Zhijian's soul and life, the most unique in the world... disappeared from the table in three seconds without a trace.It's like the plot of mystery novels that disappear in the secret room.
Amaterasu rushed out of the restaurant, whether it was on the left or right, or across the road, there was a steady stream of people everywhere, as if all the stores across the country were on sale.
No one ran away, no one turned around suddenly, and no one seemed suspicious.
The robot is too small to be seen by outsiders in the bag.
She also couldn't see through the contents of the bag with hacking software like she could in the online world.
Her heart became cold, and she was completely helpless.
— No, there is a clue, in the dining room.
She returned to the restaurant and complained to the store manager. After explaining the incident, "I want to watch the CCTV footage."
The store manager is not yet thirty years old, and his face is slightly red, "I'm sorry, to ensure the privacy of our customers, our CCTV system is controlled by the central. To playback, you must get the approval of the headquarters."
"Then you contact the headquarters!" Amaterasu felt that the other party's eyes flickered, as if deliberately not looking at him.
"When you rushed out the door without paying just now, I have already called someone to contact you, and now I am waiting for the headquarters to reply."
The store manager smiled, showing straight teeth.He started making eye contact with Amaterasu and kept smiling, which is a professional requirement.With a pretty smile and neat uniform, he can almost make him the spokesperson of the restaurant.
Amaterasu thinks he looks good, but there are too many people in Japan who are good-looking or know how to dress up. It seems that with a little packaging, they can move to the stage of models.Models who are really successful and earn a lot of money, if they are not much more beautiful than ordinary people like Takeshi Kurosawa, they will have strange appearances and take an alternative personality line.
Seeing Tianzhao's big clear eyes staring at him, the store manager felt a little uncomfortable, "What kind of robot are you missing?"
"What robot?" Amaterasu didn't expect this question, and panicked, "It's just an ordinary robot."
"It didn't come from outer space!" He said with a serious face.
"What?" Amaterasu was startled, suspecting that the other party meant something else.
"Your robot is not a Transformer! I don't know how many episodes the movie is shooting now, I think it's already been shot."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Amaterasu became more and more confused.
"Your robot actually came from outer space and is responsible for defending the earth. If it disappears, our earth will face a catastrophe." The store manager finally smiled.
"Of course not. I didn't see it. It's just a very ordinary robot, but it has a special meaning to me." Amaterasu felt that the other party was boring and wanted to kick him.
"From your boyfriend?"
"no."
Tianzhao knew that he was trying to test whether she had a boyfriend, she had faced this trick more than one hundred thousand times, and she was used to it.In the future, we may have to face hundreds of thousands of times.The boyfriend in the story will one day be replaced by a husband, or even an ex-husband.Some model friends said that when they stopped hearing similar words one day, they knew that they were no longer attractive.
Amaterasu feels good.She had had enough of pointless strike-ups.I don't know whether the opposite sex really wants to make friends with you, or just wants to trick you into bed.
"Miss, you are very kind, are you a model? I seem to have seen your advertisement recently." He also reported the brand name of the advertisement.
here we go again.To deal with this kind of man, she knew that she could use her beauty as capital to make people do different things.She is very confident in this.
"Yeah! That's me. Can you tell headquarters to hurry up?"
She showed him a charming smile, exactly the same smile as in the advertisement, no, it was a hotter smile than in the advertisement, because the director and photographer could not accept such an excessive expression.
"Will you treat me to dinner after you find it?" He moved his throat a few times.
"Of course!" She slowly approached him.
He lowered his voice and said, "I only told you when you were a friend. Waiting for the headquarters to reply is a waste of time."
"why?"
"Our restaurant's CCTV and other security systems are handled by an outside company. They have to deal with dozens of corporate clients at the same time, and they are extremely busy. Last month, I waited for more than an hour for someone to reply."
"Then I'll call the police." Amaterasu felt that something was wrong.
"It's useless. Even if the police come, they can't speed up. What you have to do is to leave here as soon as possible and go to the checkered shop in Akihabara to find your robot. The thief is likely to go there to release the goods."
"Will he really go? That kind of place is just for consignment, and he can't sell the goods in a short time."
Amaterasu doesn't often go to checkered shops, but he knows something about the ecology of this kind of shop, and magazines also report it from time to time.
"Checkered stores have many business models, consignment is just one of them, and some are sold out, depending on your friendship with the owner, and the most important point: the source of goods." The store manager explained.
Before he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone, "Trust me, I know the market very well. I write columns for several model magazines. I am a model expert, not an ordinary model expert, but the best model expert in Tokyo." Man. I pass you my business card."
He pressed the shortcut key, ready to send the business card to Amaterasu's mobile phone.
Amaterasu took a closer look after receiving it.
The business card of this man named... Ryo Ishino... is as long as a product manual.
This is not a business card at all, but an autobiography.
Two or three... four or five things about this guy:
·Graduated from Musashino Art University.
·When I was in college, I worked as a human body sketch model.
· After graduation, he drove a truck, released records, and drew comics.
·Hundreds of interviews have been done, including major TV stations, radio stations, newspapers and magazines, etc.
·Wrote more than 2,000 model review articles, with a total word count of more than 1.5 million words.
"Amazing! The words I've written in my life don't add up to that much." Amaterasu couldn't help admiring, "I can't tell!"
She never imagined that a restaurant manager would have such a rich life experience, just like a celebrity in the media.Of course she is too, but only in the online world, and can't see the light.
She is just an ordinary model in the real world, far from being popular.
When the store manager exchanged glances with her again, his cheeks flushed and he smiled shyly.
"The model artist is a full-time job with zero income, which allows me to find the joy and satisfaction of life; the store manager is only a part-time job, but it is the source of all income."
Time is running out.
After bidding farewell to the manager of the Eatertainment store, Amaterasu rushed to Shinjuku West Exit, preparing to take the Yamanote Line to Akihabara, feeling anxious.
——I want to get the robot back quickly.Be sure to get it back.I can definitely get it back.
She cheers herself up.
