"Welcome, what service would you like?" As soon as they entered the bar, a beautiful Waitress approached to ask.
"A drink... and a Health Room," Captain Yuming said. "We are forty-seven people."
"Alright, it's all arranged for you. Please proceed to the track," the Waitress replied.
The forty-seven people gradually made their way to the track.
"This..." Ziyu, still at the back, looked around and saw a fat man enter. When a Waitress approached him to ask, he suddenly pulled her in.
The Waitress lost her previous restraint and started giggling.
"Uh... that's a bit much, isn't it?" Lily, standing next to Ziyu, noticed Ziyu looking over and followed his gaze, catching sight of the scene.
Ziyu looked at the beautiful Waitress who was guiding them with a half-smile.
The Waitress suddenly lowered her head, her face slightly flushed.
"I didn't mean that..." Ziyu chuckled awkwardly and turned away, no longer speaking.
However, the Waitress smiled faintly, as if expressing gratitude.
What Ziyu didn't know was that in more developed planets, women in lower positions had even less status. This was because on advanced planets, men's work capabilities were fully displayed; aside from a few women who could rise to high positions, most leaders were men.
Ordinary women could maintain a normal life, while daughters from lower-class families could only work as waitresses or even slaves.
Those who came here to enjoy themselves typically held a decent status, so it was common for them to lightly flirt with service staff. In fact, some service workers enjoyed this because it allowed them to earn extra income beyond their jobs.
This was the trend of cultural development; Ali Star would not prohibit such things.
"Alright, stop looking and let's go," Ziyu tapped Lily on the head as a reminder.
"Really? Even on such an advanced planet, there are these vulgar things?" Lily pouted in discontent.
"You'll get used to it. The brighter it is, the more darkness lies beneath... Our ancient Earth culture has said that yin and yang must be balanced; for every bit of light, there is an equal amount of darkness," Ziyu smiled and shrugged it off.
Once again, in a brief moment of unconsciousness, Ziyu and the others appeared in a private room.
"Heh heh... this is what health means..." Ma Wen rubbed his nose, looking speechless at what lay before him.
Captain Yuming walked in front and naturally sat down, putting on the Simulation Helmet to enter the virtual world.
So the health enjoyment that the captain mentioned was actually referring to this... indulging in fun in the virtual world...
However, the sensations experienced in the virtual world were indeed very real; even after leaving the virtual world, there would be strong memories associated with it.
Here, even if one drank themselves to death, they would still emerge healthy... able to experience without any harm to the body.
Everyone sat in a circle and entered the virtual world.
"Don't we have a virtual system as well? Why do we need to come here?" Ziyu asked in confusion. The others shared the same question.
"Well..." Yuming explained, "Every virtual world has strict requirements when matching with Intelligence. Each system has its own functions; for example, our system cannot simulate entertainment. Only places like this Entertainment Club have systems for enjoyment."
Ziyu suddenly understood.
This was all for economic circulation; otherwise, if one could just buy any kind of simulator at home, these shops outside would seem unnecessary.
"I see many people outside drinking too..." one of the team members said.
"What kind of people are out there? They're all idle folks! We have work to do and absolutely cannot get drunk," Yuming said, though there was no reprimanding tone in his voice.
No matter how one drank in the virtual world, they would return to reality sober. But if one got drunk in reality, they would remain intoxicated wherever they went because both body and soul would be exhausted.
"Alright, everyone drink well. After finishing our drinks, let's explore around! Today is a great start; we need to relax!" Yuming raised his glass and laughed heartily.

Afternoon...
"Ah... I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time..." Ziyu and the group walked down the street, not in a hurry to enter any place through the tracks, but rather moving freely without a specific destination.
"Hey, do you think there's a place here that can construct long-distance wormholes?" Ziyu suddenly thought that if such a thing existed, they could temporarily return to Earth.
"We can't go back..." Yuming heard Ziyu's words and replied.
Ziyu fell silent for a moment and said, "Let's just take a look."
"Well... that's not ruled out... it should be possible," Yuming did not deny it.
Ziyu chuckled and walked over to the nearby track to communicate with the track's Intelligence.
"Is it really there?" Ziyu approached and turned to Yuming, saying, "Captain, I'm going to check it out. Is that okay?"
Yuming waved his hand: "Just come back early."
Ziyu stepped onto the track, followed by Ma Wen, Allen, and Lily.
"Long-distance jump area." Ziyu's consciousness flickered, and when he came back to his senses, he was in another place.
Due to the identity of the Core Group, Ziyu didn't have to spend money here unless he was using something very important... and the currency here was the universal currency of the cosmos.
Ziyu entered a room that was quite spacious; there was a large circle on the ground, and another large circle on the opposite wall.
Depending on personal preference, one could construct a wormhole on either the wall or the ground.
"Sometimes money is useful... I think I need to acquire some currency," Ziyu thought as he entered the coordinates of Mars, which is near Earth, into the Intelligence.
When rescuing Qutian Star Princess Xia Yun, Ziyu learned about the Cosmic Coordinates of nearby planets like Earth and Mars.
Ziyu didn't want the wormhole he constructed to scare Earthlings; he just wanted to send a message.
The space shattered like glass fragments scattering, and then a beautiful planet appeared on the wall.
This is Earth, seen from Mars' orbit.
"Zero, send a message to Earth," Ziyu said, "follow my thoughts."
"Ye Ling, I wonder how you are doing right now..." Ziyu began to formulate in his mind, and Zero encoded it into a Signal.
"I'm doing well here; everything is harmonious. There are always things for me to do every day, and life is pretty good... This is a world with advanced technology, everything is automated..."
Ziyu thought a lot while the other three quietly waited nearby.
"Ye Ling, I miss you." After finishing the last sentence, Zero launched the entire Signal towards the other side of the wormhole.
"You all come on," Ziyu forced a smile and said to the others.
The wormhole quickly dissipated, as if nothing had happened.
Next, Ma Wen, Allen, and Lily each looked at their hometowns, and Lily even cried out.
"We can't do anything right now, but we will have the power in the future..." Ziyu comforted the three by patting their shoulders. "We all have responsibilities..."
