Chapter 15: Getting Started (Part I)

After the auction ended, most of the participants left in the teleportation array and waited for the auction to start the next day - with the exception of VIPs like Anna. Anna's seniors and Mikoto Misaka can go to a rather luxurious hotel above the town and get a highest-class room - Zhou Yuan can also go to the hotel, but in a second-class room.

Most importantly, because the hotel has become a relatively safe place and not close to the auction venue, and there is a need to respect customers like Anna's predecessors, there is no surveillance system at all.

"Old man, old man, wake up. It's almost evening, and then it's time for you to act. ”

Zhou Yuan shook Reinhardt lightly a few times, and after waking Reinhardt awake, he followed Reinhardt and Scar to the door to greet Anna's senior.

But then again...... That roommate of mine didn't know where to go. Obviously, when he first entered the door, the guy with black-rimmed glasses was still sitting on the sofa, and Zhou Yuan and Kirito watched anime together and looked up to look around. However, when he was about to leave, the guy actually disappeared like this, and Zhou Yuan didn't even find out when the guy left.

Forget it, what do the bodyguards of the housekeepers do, just try to complete their work well.

After Senior Anna came out, Zhou Yuan followed Mikoto Misaka and walked towards the door according to the normal rules of bodyguards. Naturally, Kirito followed, but kept a little distance behind Mikoto Misaka.

"You call Asuna in a moment, we have a very important meeting here, and it just so happens that you and Asuna are also involved," Zhou Yuan whispered in a voice that only he and Kirito could hear, "Besides, you two also need to find a place to live, right?

"No...... I just snatched their auction invitations, and by the way, borrowed some of their valuables," Kirito replied in a low voice, "and you found out." ”

"Really...... Then you may have to get used to killing. As you know, although these machines are all metals and programs, they also have their own thoughts and emotions, and they are essentially just different from human beings in the way they are made up of their bodies. And then, most of the enemies you'll have to face will probably be these intelligent machines. ”

"What, Lady Olivia, did she offend the leader of some intelligent machine or something?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head: "I'll tell you when the time comes." All in all, we are now at this hotel...... You can contact Asuna to come here, and you can follow Miss Mary in a moment, and I won't go up yet. ”

"Oh...... Good. ”

Zhou Yuan raised his head and glanced at the door of the hotel. The sign reads "New Card Premium Public Hotel", which is only 10 stories tall despite the fact that all the surrounding buildings are towering.

Contrary to the perception of the real society, this just proves the quality of this hotel.

The waiter at the bar on the first floor of the hotel is a humanoid intelligent machine that looks similar to Master Zenyata and wears monk's robes. It can be seen from the clothes and the marks on the mechanical head that this is a master of wisdom who believes in the same thorough wisdom as Master Zenyata.

"Why, the master has time to experience mortal life? Bring me a glass of tequila, with ice. ”

Zhou Yuan leaned on the bar and looked at the intelligent machine in front of him with interest.

Strictly speaking, Master Zenyata is still an outlier among the intelligent machines that believe in the wisdom of the pupil - all the intelligent machines who thoroughly believe in the wisdom of the pupil and wear the clothes of a monk have clearly expressed their absolute neutrality in the battle between Black Claw and Overwatch, and only Master Zenyata openly supports Overwatch...... For this reason, Master Zenyata was also completely removed from the Nepalese Wisdom Pupil Believers.

As for the reason...... Master Chanyata was a warrior monk of Shaolin Temple before the world changed. Don't look at the Zen Yatta Master who is now contemplating Zen words all day long, meditating on healing, if he really goes to the battlefield...... Zhou Yuan wasn't sure if he could beat Master Zen Yatta in close combat.

However, this is also the reason why Master Zenyata can't talk to Chi Hitomi. Zenyata's beliefs are impure – although Buddhism evolved into wisdom after the world changed, strictly speaking, Zenyata believed in Buddhism before the world changed.

"Originally, it was the same in the mortal world or in the monastery. After so many years, there is no intelligent machine that can directly talk to Zhitong, and even only a handful can occasionally hear Zhitong speak...... Sir, you want tequila. ”

"Master, you can see it," Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "As far as I know, only intelligent machines will believe in Zhitong." However, Chitomi does not seem to exclude believers in humanity. ”

"It's true, it's just that it's hard for humans to imagine the existence of Chi Hitomi. We, who are absolutely data-oriented, see more thoroughly," the intelligent machine replied, "but you...... It's okay to put down work and make small talk to me here?"

"Of course it doesn't matter, because I have a master who wants to ask the master," Zhou Yuan's smile narrowed, approached the bar, and lowered his voice, "Did the master see someone enter here with a cage that can hold one person, or a box of about the same size?"

The only people who can afford projection are those in the VIP area.

"So, what is the purpose of asking this?"

The intelligent machine asked rhetorically.

"I know a lot about projection. If I had seen that projection, I might have known a way to stop her berserk...... I can't bear to watch someone like that become a plaything, or just die. ”

The intelligent machine stared at Zhou Yuan's pupils for several seconds, and Zhou Yuan looked at him without nervousness.

"Okay...... It seems that you are not lying, and since it is a purpose that does not contradict the creed of Chi Hitomi, then I can tell you. ”

"Inside a cage...... It was a woman, blindfolded by the cloth, and took the elevator to the sixth floor, but I don't know exactly which room was decided by Blackclaw. The image can't be given to you because it violates the rules here. I can only help you get here, good luck. ”

A smile appeared on Zhou Yuan's face.

"Thank you, Master. ”
