"Who are you… ?"
Taking the metallic black gold card in front of him, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the waiter in front of him.
"I am the bionic robot T237. I will serve as a hotel waiter during the celebration, and I will also provide corresponding assistance to you finalists."
With a perfect smile on his face, the waiter explained softly.
"In the "Mechanical City", money is a very important consumable that is used everywhere. Please be sure to keep your mechanical cards. "
"How much does it cost to stay in this hotel for a day?"
After looking at the balance of 1,200 displayed on the mechanical card, Bai Zhi asked after thinking for a moment.
"500 mechanical coins."
The waiter smiled and spoke.
"At the same time, this hotel is also the only hotel designated to stay during the celebration. If any finalist cannot pay the rent, they will automatically lose their qualifications."
"500... OK, I understand. Where is our room?"
Putting the weapon card into the Ring, Bai Zhi simply nodded.
"Since it is the only designated hotel, then the safety here should be guaranteed, right?"
"Of course, unless it is a confrontation during a specific event, any form of fighting is prohibited in the "Machine City" during non-essential periods. If once detected, the offending party will be disqualified and expelled from the city. Please trust our criminal investigation capabilities. "
While walking in front to lead the way for them, the waiter began to explain.
"At the same time, during non-competition periods, except for some forbidden areas in the city, you can freely move around and spend money in the "Machine City". We do not impose restrictions on this. "
"That's okay."
While observing the surrounding scene, Bai Zhi nodded.
In appearance, this hotel is quite luxurious, even luxurious to the point of luxury, but at the same time it does not lose its artistic beauty, and the layout is quite pleasing to the eye at a glance.
Not only that, the rooms prepared for them by the hotel are also quite suitable for them.
For example, the room like that of Bai Zhi Shanbian Li and his friends is a modern presidential suite, but the room like Piaoyu's room is full of ancient elegance. There is even a clear spring in the room. It can be said that it is extremely attentive.
"If you have any additional needs, you can contact the front desk directly through the intercom system in the room, and we will serve you as soon as possible."
With a gentle smile on his face, the waiter who led them through the adjacent rooms smiled and spoke.
"I hope that during the next period of time, you all can have a pleasant stay here. If nothing happens, then I will go down and continue to entertain guests."
"Well... there's one more thing."
After a moment and pondering, Bai Zhi looked at the waiter in front of him.
"Excuse me, how many days will it take for the so-called finalist stage to end?"
"The qualifying stage lasts for a total of seven days. At the end of the seven days, we will close the city gate."
Still with a smile on his face, the waiter answered his questions quickly.
"It is now the third day of seven days. There are still four days left before the finalist stage competition will end. As for the specific relevant information, you can find relevant information on the hotel's internal network."
"Four days... Okay, I understand, go ahead and do your work, thank you."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi nodded to the waiter,
"It has been an honor to serve you."
Putting his right hand on his left shoulder, the waiter bowed his head slightly and saluted them, then turned around and left gracefully.
"... Come to my room and talk."
After watching the waiter disappear around the corner, Bai Zhi reached out and pressed his forehead, and then spoke to the others.
"There's something I need... uh, do you have anything else?"
Before he finished speaking, Bai Zhi's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at 230 who was following them.
"Speaking of which, are you going to follow us all the time?"
"230 is your tour guide~"
Seemingly not understanding the meaning of Bai Zhi's words, 230 turned around several times in the air quite happily when Bai Zhi asked him.
"230 is more familiar with the "Machine City" than you are. If you have anything to ask, feel free to ask 230~"
Bai Zhi: "..."
"Um... we have to talk about personal matters now, so can you stay out of the way for a while?"
Looking at 230, Phalaenopsis asked carefully.
"If there is a problem, we will come..."
"Oh, private communication, right? 230 knows~"
Before Phalaenopsis had finished speaking, 230 nodded as if he had a sudden realization.
"Don't worry, 230 won't eavesdrop. If that's the case, then 230 will go recharge first~"
"Charging... Well, go ahead and pay attention to safety."
—Bai Zhi waved towards the other party in a slightly subtle mood.
… … … … … … … … …
A few minutes later, Bai Zhi's room.
Although 500 mechanical coins per day is a bit expensive, compared to the environment in the room, it is actually worth the money.
Not to mention anything else, the big bed in Songjiang's room alone is enough to sleep all the lolita...
"For four days, we need to consume 500 mechanical coins every day. We don't have enough money at all. Do we need to go out and make money ourselves?"
Sitting down on the sofa in the room, Phalaenopsis was the first to speak.
"That's about right. Anyway, there are still two days left... We'll know after we investigate then. There's always a way to make money."
Reaching out and pressing his forehead, Bai Zhi looked at Piao Ray.
"How about it? Did you find any of your seniors or classmates who came in early in the live broadcast room?"
"No, I didn't see any."
Inexplicably, Floating Ray looked a little discouraged.
"Maybe they have checked into the hotel in advance. I will look for them in the hotel later."
"What happens after you find it?"
"After? Uh..."
It seemed that he had never thought about this question. When Bai Zhi asked about it, Piaoyu couldn't help but froze there.
"There is only one winner in the end. For things like this, just tell me after you have thought about it."
Shaking his head, Bai Zhi moved his eyes away from the other party's body.
There must be people from the "Millennium Dao Sect" in this hotel. They were the first ones to stay.
This mechanical city itself was transformed from an inherited secret treasure in their "Millennium Dao Sect". Under the current circumstances, they would naturally be more inclined to get this secret treasure back.
In other words, they were not on the same page from the beginning.
Maybe it won't take too long before people from the "Millennium Dao Sect" will come to visit. After all, the live broadcast can be watched at any time, so there is no guarantee that someone will notice the existence of Piao Ray.
"I found [Ouroboros] in the live broadcast room, he is a good helper."
After glancing at the dazed Piaoyu, without any intention of hiding anything, Li, the mountainside man, spoke directly.
"How about it, do you need to wait while I go find him?"
In the current situation, even though the positions of the two countries are different, their overall goals are the same.
One more person means more help.
"Let's get in touch. Anyone who is a player is our natural ally."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi answered.
"As for [Nuliang], I will be responsible."
"Uh... how about I continue flipping through the studio?"
Looking at the other two people looking at him one after another, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Phalaenopsis raised his hand.
"I still recognize some of the more famous players."
"...Okay, let's make this arrangement for the time being."
After a moment of pondering, Bai Zhi nodded.
"As for other things like making money, we will discuss it later."
"That's it, I'm going back to my room first."
Standing up from the sofa, Mountain Man Li stretched slightly.
"When I watched the live broadcast before, [Ouroboros] still had some time to pass the audition, so I went back to my room to watch and wait."
"Whatever, it's still early anyway."
Bai Zhi waved his hand casually.
"Well... then I'll go back to the room first."
Glancing towards the floating ray, Phalaenopsis also stood up from the sofa.
So after a while, only Bai Zhi and the clockwork robot in front of him were left in the room.
"Why, haven't you thought about it yet?"
Looking at the floating ray in front of him, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"... You are here to help us, right?"
The floating ray raised its head blankly.
"If that's the case, I think we should be on the same stand..."
"First of all, I have helped you, and you were the one who was saved by me."
Holding out a finger in front of him and shaking it, Bai Zhi interrupted the other person's words.
"Secondly, your master only asked me to help find out the truth and rescue those in the "Millennium Dao Sect". He never asked me to help you get back this inherited secret treasure. "
"But, but..."
"No buts."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Bai Zhi shook his head.
"Greed is the original sin. You "Millennium Dao Sect" cannot control this thing at all, but you have become the party being controlled. In this case, you should learn the lessons of history instead of being driven by greed in your heart. Also, have you ever thought that since even your master, an immortal in this world, has been controlled, do you think the situation of others will be very good? In other words, there is no possibility for you to get this thing back. "
"… I see."
After a long silence, Floating Ray nodded.
"If they come to me later, I will persuade them."
"That's the best way."
Bai Zhi spread his hands in front of him and shrugged slightly.
"Okay, you should go back and think about it carefully. If someone really comes to see you then, remember to tell me in time... turn around."
Glancing at the loose clockwork behind the other person's back, Bai Zhi stood up.
"Remember not to move, I will help you treat it."
Floating Ray: "..."
… … … … … … … … … …
"Huh... we are finally liberated. One of those two people is a piece of wood and the other has a dead face. It's just..."
Lying on the soft big bed and stretching her waist to her heart's content, a certain red and white miko breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head to look at the girl with a standard black long straight penis sitting on the sofa holding a violin.
"So, Mingqu, you feel the same way, right?"
"It's a sonata."
