Chapter 196 (1/2)

The problem of racial discrimination had existed for a long time, even in ancient times. But in the new age, the ability to determine is determined by genes and potential, not by skin color and race. This is well-known, but there are still some deep-rooted rotten ideas from the old era to the present.

In other words, the majority of the human race in China is British and American. So it's not surprising that discrimination arises, but the cities that were previously here are in the wilderness. It is difficult to form a sense of belonging in a city because of the large amount of people moving around in the wilderness. But Asgard was different. Ben had a special system of attracting people who lived in the city.

These people had developed a sense of belonging to Asgard and were proud to be the legitimate residents of the city. In such cases, there is little movement of people, and once the majority of a fixed number of people form the same atmosphere, discrimination arises. Because of the special nature of the new era, this phenomenon would often appear in the army.

Veterans despise recruits, and white warriors despise other races of color. These actions, while seemingly illogical, are real.

Just like the three people in front of him, Zero suddenly understood that he would be assigned to this dorm. Perhaps he didn't want him to join the army as soon as possible, or maybe he was considering that he would not necessarily be accepted by the other white warriors.

”Alright, let's not talk about that.” Feng clapped his hands, ”To celebrate the entry of zero, let's go to the tavern to celebrate. Their roasted veal steaks are done pretty well. How about it, I'll treat you to dinner! ”

He strongly patted his chest. Unfortunately, Feng was not a tall and sturdy man. Thus, his appearance was not heroic and was instead somewhat comical.

Su Bai glanced at him and said, ”Do you have that many merit points to spend?”

”Not much. Last time, after dealing with Langley's team, the reward we got was just enough for us to squander a bit.” ”Let's go, let's go!” Feng didn't say anything further and started pushing the black horse outside.

So Zero followed them to a tavern near the camp. The tavern was opened by the Asgard Military Department, and there was one in almost every barracks. In the barracks, soldiers were not allowed to drink or hide alcohol. If he wanted to drink, he could only do so at the military tavern. However, in here, merit points were required to be spent, and it was even twice the cost of the tavern outside.

Such a tavern would provide a place for the soldiers to wear out their excess energy and would also collect the soldiers' merit points. This would stimulate the soldiers to work even harder to complete their tasks. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Naturally, the military tavern wasn't as lively as other taverns. After all, not everyone had a large amount of merit points to spend. Therefore, when Zero and Su Bai walked into this tavern, although it was already night time, the tavern was sparse. It was not as lively as the taverns in the wilderness.

The ceiling fans in the sprinklers were spinning feebly, and the jukebox in the corner was playing sleepy country music. The dim yellow light was mostly concentrated in the center of the hall, so the corners were dark. In the dark corners, there were groups of soldiers eating and drinking. But when the others came in, most of them looked up and gave them unfriendly looks.

Zero naturally wouldn't care about these gazes. Under Feng's lead, he arrived at the bar. Behind the bar, an old white-haired bartender was wiping empty glasses on the bar counter. Maple threw his ID card in front of the bartender and said, ”Hi, Old Henry. Give us a bottle of whiskey and four slices of fried beef. ”

The bartender Henry silently picked up Maple's identity plate, and after passing through a scanner on the bar, he said to him, ”Young man, your merit points do not seem to be enough to pay for this.”
