During meal time, Chai Anping finally walked through the market and came to a shop where he could dine in.
"This should be the place Stephen mentioned, right?"
In any city, there will be places that sell information, especially in a metropolis like Pi City where dragons and snakes are mixed, information dealers are the most indispensable profession.
People like Caitlin also have to work with these agencies from time to time.
Chai Anping was currently in the "Silent Hotel" highly recommended by Stephen, one of Piltover's top intelligence dealers. It was rumored that you could even get some oligarch secrets here, as long as you could afford the high price.
The hotel is not small, and there are two honest robots standing at the door, welcoming the guests who come to eat at this time over and over again.
When Chai Anping entered the store, there were already many diners sitting in the hall, and the food was fragrant.
"Zi...Zi...Hello, sir, please come this way."
An orbiting robot that was close to the ground slid over, the green indicator light on its face flashing, and its metal body bent into an extremely respectful arc.
"With so many robots, you are really rich!"
He touched the outstretched arm of the robot and said the secret code Stephen told him:
“What is the secret of silence?”
"Zi..."
The robot's indicator light immediately became a little darker: "New guests, please go to the second floor. There will be a dedicated robot to serve you."
A thin red light emitted from its head recorded Chai Anping's characteristic information and granted him temporary permission to go upstairs.
"This machine will only temporarily record the guest's information and will automatically delete it after confirming that the guest has left."
"Well……"
Chai Anping, who had already learned the process from Stephen, narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the robot leave.
Ignoring the prying eyes of some people in the lobby, Chai Anping climbed directly to the second floor from the side stairs. It was still the layout of a hotel, but all of them were private rooms.
"B-13 is at your service. Do you accept certain limited information inquiries?"
Soon, another smaller robot appeared in front of Chai Anping. This robot obviously had a more sophisticated machine structure. Chai Anping nodded slightly and followed it into an empty box, and quickly completed the message.
Steps for inquiry (code name).
The box is not big, and the metal screen attached to one wall automatically shrinks and folds, revealing the window behind it.
A slot machine style machine appears behind the window.
"You can use this machine to order food, dear Mr. Forbidden Magic Stone." B-13 said: "Do you need an explanation on how to use it?"
"Well……"
Chai Anping looked at the buttons printed with words on the machine and laughed a few times with interest: "No need for the moment."
The machine does not have high-end things like an LCD touch screen, but is instead filled with colorful buttons, where you can even actually order food.
Or should I say... this is an ordering machine in itself.
B-13 silently retreated to the corner, the signal light went out and entered standby mode.
There are simple instructions for use next to the ordering machine. Chai Anping ordered a few meals for himself and was reminded that it would take nearly half an hour to serve.
"Even if this isn't the base of some intelligence dealer, it's still interesting enough as a hotel."
(If you ignore the high price)
After ordering the meal, Chai Anping then turned his attention to the operation dial on the other side. He could use this ordering machine to post information rewards or directly purchase information from the Silent Hotel.
He came here mainly to issue tasks to these intelligence dealers. The Demacia mission was rich and wealthy, and he was the highest officer, so the expense of collecting intelligence was nothing at all.
"This store is a bit rich beyond imagination. It may not be appropriate to directly collect dirty information about Mi Dalda." After rejecting his original plan, he pressed the button to publish the task.
A groove immediately appeared, and at the same time a small metal card, paper and pen were handed in front of him.
"Dear guest, please record your needs on a piece of paper. We will search our information database within a few minutes. If we cannot provide you with an answer immediately, we will make a corresponding quotation for your needs in the form of a task.
Distributed to all intelligence agents."
Chai Anping finished reading the remaining details, took a pen and paper and started writing his needs.
"If you can't do Milda, then... pick a Hood?!"
Just in case Myrdalda might know about the Demacia mission's hostility towards them, Chai Anping wrote down the real reason why the Hood family targeted the mission on paper, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Myrdalda family.
Then he was really curious about the reason why the Hood family suddenly opposed the Demacia mission.
Put the note into the groove, and soon the message he delivered was sent to the specialist behind him through the pipeline.
"Report to the supervisor immediately, a big fish has arrived!"
"The signature is the Forbidden Demon Stone... Ha, it seems he is the real owner."
The middle-aged man known as the general manager quickly appeared in the room where the intelligence was processed after receiving the news. After checking the note written by Chai Anping, he smiled knowingly and said to himself: "I really fell into a trap..."
"Which robot is serving this box now?"
"Uh...it's B-13!"
"Use my authority to turn on B-13's latent mode, turn on the sensing device in standby mode, and...notify Master Midarda."
Chai Anping never imagined that the secret agent behind Stephen's recommended information would be Myrdalda. Even Caitlin had never known this secret - the Silent Hotel, which had always been a public and mysterious hotel, was actually the work of the Myrdalda family.
"Then this information..." The commissioner was equally happy.
"Do not worry."
The manager smiled and said, "Now that you've entered our hotel, you can't escape."
…
Through the sound transmission pipe, the sound of Chai Anping's box soon appeared clearly in the room.
"Hello, the dishes you ordered have been served. If you have any other needs, please wake up B-13 or press the service bell."
"Well...well, well, it's really rich."
The orbital machinery placed the meals ordered by Chai Anping on the table one by one, causing Chai Anping to be amazed. These robot craftsmanship seemed to him from the perspective of a modern person or a purebred Demacian.
Stunning skills.
He really has unlimited interest in the "engineering magic" that created all of this. Can this kind of mechanical creation and magic play a more effective role than chip diodes?
After sighing, there was a regular sound of chewing. After the sensing device was turned on to the maximum, every sound in the box could be accurately transmitted to the room where the manager was.
"Send him a message and tell him that this information is of extremely high value, and ask him again if he is sure about asking for it." The manager calmly ordered: "Be careful not to reveal our attitude."
"yes!"
"Dudu...dudu..."
The ordering machine next to Chai Anping sounded a prompt, and a metal iron box rose from its operating dial.
"Please confirm the news, Mr. Forbidden Magic Stone."
"Finally here!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Chai Anping's eyes, and he immediately put down the knife and fork in his hand to twist the note in the iron box. He didn't expect that this hotel actually had information about the Hood family!
