The best way to understand a community or organization is to have a meal there.

Lin Feng still remembers when he was young, following an uncle working at the government office to dine at their unit's cafeteria.

At the food serving window, there were exclusively large dishes.

Braised pig trotters, stir-fried beef, charcoal-grilled lamb chops, Songhua fish, boiled fish fillets, and Lin Feng's favorite iron plate squid.

More than ten meat dishes, and more than ten vegetarian dishes.

No matter how many dishes you took, the meal card would just charge one yuan.

Yet, only a dozen people came for lunch.

Compared to the food there, Lin Feng felt his school's cafeteria was like pig feed.

Lin Feng only later realized that his uncle's unit cafeteria had its supplies directly from the kitchen of the only five-star hotel in their area.

So, the food standard was also five-star.

As for now...

After leaving the Great Cathedral, Lin Feng followed the Female Assistant Priest through rows of streets into a three-story canteen.

The first floor cafeteria was self-service, with not many dishes, but in sufficient quantity, each dish had several pots.

Among them, five or six meat dishes were available, not only horse meat but also fish, which had gone extinct in the scorching Wasteland.

Vegetable varieties were more, Lin Feng saw small green vegetables, water spinach, and carrots.

And his favorite scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

It seemed that aside from the Rock-Horned Horse industry, most crops from Nongzhuang Village were specifically supplied to the Oasis upper-class.

Currently, it was meal time, the bustling cafeteria hall already had most seats occupied by the Upper Class.

Many Upper Class individuals saw Lin Feng with a look of surprise.

Spending their lives in the Upper District of the Oasis, they rarely saw people with golden skin entering the cafeteria.

As for some Upper Servants, who spent years inside the spacecraft, their skin color changed from the previous dark, becoming normal light yellow, and many second and third-generation Upper Servants never set foot on the ground, nor basked in the sunlight much since birth.

Their skin had become slightly pale, except for slightly rougher skin quality, not much different from the Upper Class actually.

The most crucial point was that Upper Servants weren't qualified to enter the Upper District cafeteria.

Here, besides the Upper Class, only Church members could come to dine together.

As for the senior members of the Church, like Lord Priest, late-stage Senior Assistant Priests, and high echelons above the Oasis, they all went to the exclusive cafeteria upstairs.

So someone like Lin Feng, with golden skin, stood out prominently here.

Even though there was a Lord Priest in the Church, sent below the Oasis to bring the Lord's kindness to the Town and Deserters,

that Lord was too busy to ever appear at the Upper District cafeteria.

So, the man in front was the first golden-skinned outsider to step in here in the past ten years.

At this moment, some in the Upper Class also recognized Lin Feng.

Not long ago, they had seen him following Lord Priest heading to the Church District.

Because of the man's handsomeness, he left quite an impression on the crowd watching at that time.

Thus, when Lin Feng was brought into the Upper District cafeteria, it caused quite a sensation. Many Upper Class began whispering, discussing whether this handsome man would join the Oasis and become a newly-entitled Upper Class member.

While they were observing Lin Feng, Lin Feng was also scanning this group of pampered Upper Class.

Without exception, all of them, excluding the underage children, had reached the Tier One evolution level, most being at early Tier One, and only a few progressed to mid-Tier One.

But seeing so many Tier One Evolvers, gathering hundreds of them in one place was...

Lin Feng's first encounter like this.

Indeed, the Upper Class enjoys different treatment, they receive the best resource supply, to become an Evolver was merely a matter of one Evolution Surgery.

Moreover, here at the Upper Class cafeteria, there's a daily supply of plentiful Level 9 Enhanced Meat, alongside the limited Evolutionary Meat offered to each individual daily.

This group appeared calm, in good condition, each full of vitality.

And the greatest difference from the lower permanent residents is that they showed no fluctuation towards food in their eyes, no greed or desire.

They never went hungry.

So, my appearance perhaps might surprise the Upper Class more than an extra share of Evolutionary Meat for dinner today.

"Let's go, there's nothing good today."

Female Assistant Priest Shen Yue looked at the self-service window again and again with a look of regret, then called out to Lin Feng, who was about to pick up a tray:

"Let's eat upstairs."

Lin Feng saw the conspicuous notice board at the staircase entrance, hesitant to ask:

"Isn't it for late-stage Tier One and Tier Two Evolvers only up there?"

Shen Yue revealed a mischievous smile:

"That's right, but aren't you here!"

"Mr. Lin is a distinguished guest of the Church, introduced by Lord Priest. Just finished meeting Lord Bishop, how can you eat in the hall with ordinary Upper Class members!"

Then she took Lin Feng's hand and ran upstairs.

Upon reaching the second floor of the cafeteria, a middle-aged cultivator collecting trays at the entrance frowned and asked:

"What brings you here?"

"The dining opportunity for this Holy Spring Day, you've already used in advance, Shen Yue, it doesn't allow overdrawing the next Holy Spring Day!"

Shen Yue immediately pushed Lin Feng forward and reiterated the reason she convinced him earlier.

Then approached and whispered mysteriously into the middle-aged cultivator's ear:

"Mr. Lin is a distinguished guest of the Church, led personally by Lord Su An, just had a private audience with Lord Bishop."

"Now, Lord Su An wants me to show him the Oasis environment, do you want Mr. Lin to eat crowdedly with those inexperienced Upper Class members?"

Hearing the word "Bishop," the middle-aged cultivator's expression clearly changed, couldn't help but glance at the man behind Shen Yue.

After Shen Yue's reminder, the middle-aged cultivator no longer blocked their way and warmly invited Lin Feng to eat heartily in the cafeteria and let the cook start anew if not enough.

Shen Yue chuckled smugly, then led Lin Feng to the window.

The second floor of the cafeteria had two areas: near the staircase, it was like downstairs, a self-service area, and another area was a direct ordering window with chefs cooking on the spot.

Shen Yue directly took two trays and started adding more food at the self-service window.

Lin Feng picked up a tray and followed forward.

The exclusive cafeteria on this level served much better meals, although not as good as five-star hotels from before, but there were about ten meat dishes.

And some meat Lin Feng hadn't seen before.

Besides regular braised meat, Lin Feng also saw cultivated Desolate Beast-like chicken chops, beef steaks, and fish steaks.

And the limited early-term Evolutionary Horse Meat from the first floor was found in abundance here in the second-floor self-service area!

Yet, thinking about it, being here, at the very least a late-stage Tier One can come, so the unlimited early-term Evolutionary Meat isn't surprising!

But the limited mid-term Evolutionary Meat was also rationed.

One portion per day per person, a portion per person and day.

Seeing Shen Yue gobbling down the food, Lin Feng followed suit, sampling various unknown meats besides a portion of early-stage horse meat to try something new.

With sudden unease, while watching the gluttonous girl Shen Yue, Lin Feng asked:

"Did you already have a portion of the early horse meat?"

Shen Yue nodded, her cheeks stuffed, and mumbled her response:

"Just one portion of early-stage horse meat, they mostly eat it all on Holy Spring Day. I've used up my chances for this occasion in advance, and have been starved for... "

Now transformed into a relentless eating machine, Shen Yue focused on finishing two large plates of horse meat.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a dark jacket, tall and imposing, came up from the staircase to the second floor.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, turned his head, and locked eyes with the man.

The middle-aged man was a powerful Tier Two Evolver, a rare sight here in the Upper District.

Judging by Lin Feng's gaze, the man also glanced around and set his sights directly on the two of them.

Scared, Shen Yue choked on her food at the scene.
