Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

The woman looked around first, and soon spotted Linlin by the window. She looked at the photo on her phone, and then walked over.

"Hello, are you Teacher Lin?"

"Hello, are you Jian Dan?"

"Um."

They both nodded at the same time and then sat down at the same time.

Perhaps because their movements were so synchronized, Jian Dan laughed first.

"Teacher Lin, your name is quite interesting."

Lin Lin immediately understood what she was talking about, and shrugged:

"My parents insisted on giving me this name back then because they wanted to be fashionable, and I had no choice but to accept it."

Jian Dan covered her mouth and chuckled.

"From now on, you won't need to mention your age when you introduce yourself, which is great."

"Yeah, everyone knows I'm a post-2000s kid now..."

Seeing that the other party didn't mind talking about her name, Jian Dan finally relaxed and laughed so hard that her shoulders shook slightly.

The slightly tense atmosphere in the restaurant relaxed as well.

The service robot projects the menu onto the table, with the origin of each dish labeled.

Vegetables from Blue Star greenhouses, meat dishes from the Terra Plateau, staple foods from the Holy Human race, malt drinks from the Dwarf race, and several kinds of fruits provided by the Elf race.

Jian Dan looked at it for a while, then looked up and asked:

"Are there many tara dishes here?"

"There are significantly more than six months ago, and it's very popular."

"Let's order something Terra-flavored then."

"Okay, see if there's anything you like."

The two ordered a Terra Herb Roasted Meat, two servings of vegetables, and a serving of Elf Magic Fruit.

The dishes were served quickly.

The aroma of the roasted meat was much stronger than that of ordinary seasonings, and after biting into it, there was a faint pine fragrance. Jian Dan took a bite, and her eyes lit up noticeably.

"This scent is from elven herbs, isn't it?"

"This is my first time trying it too, and it tastes pretty good."

"Yes, it's completely different from ours."

Jian Dan picked up a piece of green mushroom with her chopsticks, put it in her bowl, and chewed it slowly.

When I was a child, my family always kept fruit on hand.

"Later, when we entered the underground city, the fruit was distributed on a monthly basis, with only a few extra during holidays."

"Now, things are even more convenient; the market even has Terra products."

"This is arguably the most noticeable change in trade between Great Xia and Terra."

Jian Dan picked up a piece of roasted meat and nodded slightly.

"In the past, it was good enough if you could buy fresh vegetables at the market, but now you can even find meat from Terra and magical fruits from the Elven race."

She took a bite of the green mushroom on the plate, and her eyes lit up slightly.

"This tastes really unique, like mushrooms, and also a bit like the green vegetables we used to eat."

"I heard it was just delivered from our cooperative plantation in Terra," Linlin said with a smile.

"The school cafeteria also has it now, but you have to be quick, otherwise all that's left is the Holy Human race's hard bread."

Jian Dan couldn't help but laugh.

"Then your teachers must have a tough time competing for food."

"There's no way around it, Terra cuisine is just too popular."

Once they started chatting, the initial awkwardness quickly disappeared.

Jian Dan took out a palm-sized silver-gray metal box from her bag, with a pale red crystal embedded in the lid.

"Oh, right, look at the little gadgets I bought last week, hand warmers. You can put things inside to keep them warm."

Linlin took it and looked at it, and found that there was a circle of simple runes engraved on the side of the box.

"This thing must be expensive, right?"

"It was expensive at first, but it's much cheaper now," Jian Dan said.

"I heard that the dwarves are using the Great Xia machine tools, which has greatly increased their production speed. The prices in the shops are getting lower every month, and they only need a small amount of energy crystals to last a long time."

She paused, then continued:

"Also, my aunt used to have a leg injury, and every year when the weather got cold, she would be in so much pain that she couldn't get out of bed."

"The hospital did a check-up for her a while ago, and with the help of healing magic and diluted holy water treatment, she can now go downstairs to buy groceries by herself."

Linlin nodded.

"In the past, these things could only be treated slowly with medicine, but now that the medical system has added magical healing, it is indeed much more convenient."

"Things are changing too fast." Jian Dan gently stroked the constant-temperature box.

"Sometimes I feel like the underground city that was just a year ago, with only rationed food and dormitories, was another world."

Linlin was about to reply when she suddenly noticed the phone screen on the table.

The screen prominently displayed a wallpaper from the game "Star Wars".

"You play this too?"

Jian Dan looked up, her eyes filled with surprise.

"You play too?"

"Sure, I've been playing the Kona Satellite Defense map lately."

"Then you must be better than me." Jian Dan said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I mainly play logistics, repairing robots and delivering supplies. I tend to get flustered when I start firing on the front lines."

"Logistics is more important than firing the guns," Lin Lin said seriously.

"Without supplies, those of us on the front lines won't last long either."

Jian Dan looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"How about we hang out tonight? I'll supply you with supplies, and you can help me with the missions."

"Haha, no problem."

Linlin readily agreed.

The two chatted happily. Since the underground city's housing is now allocated and individuals are not allowed to buy cars, Jian Dan did not ask him to prepare a car, nor did she ask him to put the house in his name, nor did she ask for a dowry. She was very easy to talk to throughout the entire conversation.

In the apocalypse, women have a harder time than men. Jian Dan can see how those women who didn't enter the dungeon are doing through her phone.

Therefore, women's views on marriage and values ​​have returned to normal, and there haven't been any major problems, which is also why the marriage rate has started to rise.

Moreover, once married, the government will allocate a house for the couple, so they don't have to live in a dormitory, and their lives will be better.

After spending time with her, she did have a good impression of Linlin.

This person wasn't particularly eloquent, but he wasn't frivolous, nor did he deliberately put on airs like a teacher or intellectual.

When discussing Terran trade, he could articulate his understanding, and when talking about his future family, he was completely sincere.

At least, she's willing to continue contact with this person.

Linlin glanced at the time and realized it was already past 3 p.m.

"Time flies, we've been chatting for hours without even realizing it."

"yes."

"I have a Chinese class for international students this afternoon, so I have to go back to school first." Linlin then stood up. "Shall we continue our chat next time?"

Jian Dan also got up.

"OK."

As the two reached the restaurant entrance, Jian Dan seemed to suddenly remember something.

"By the way, I saw in the information that you teach Chinese to international students from Terra at Tian Shu University?"

"right."

"Isn't it interesting?" Jian Dan's eyes lit up.

"Won't it lead to a lot of funny situations if people from different ethnic groups in Terra learn to speak Mandarin?"

Just as Lin Lin was about to speak, the digital watch on her wrist vibrated.

There are only forty minutes left before class starts.

He raised his hand helplessly.

Jian Dan understood instantly, and waved her hand with a smile.

"Okay, I won't interfere with Teacher Lin's teaching. You can talk about it slowly next time we meet."

"See you in the game tonight?"

"Okay, see you tonight."
