Chapter 103 Tracking
Su Ninglong took out a multi-purpose screwdriver from her pocket, quickly disassembled the robot's chest armor, and pulled out the core ball with her bare hands.

A beam of bright light shone directly on Su Ninglong's hand as she committed the crime.

"What are you doing?" the woman in uniform screamed as she rushed over. "This is a service robot that our hotel imported at great expense. We couldn't afford to pay for it even if we sold your whole family. Now, immediately, call your parents over here."

Su Ninglong put down the screwdriver and prepared to contact Yun Fei.

Before the communication request could be sent, Yunfei rushed to the restaurant.

The woman at the front desk didn't stop cursing, chattering away in the local language, her plump face flushed red.

Although he only understood a few swear words, Yun Fei still coldly interrupted the other person, "What's going on?"

“You’ve come at the perfect time.” The woman switched to common language, her index finger, with its nail peeling off, almost poking Su Ninglong’s nose. “This is your wild child, isn’t it? She broke our hotel’s service robot. Don’t say anything, just pay for it.”

Yun Fei did not immediately blame Su Ninglong, nor did he object to the woman's words.

He glanced at the woman; her clothes were yellowed and stained with soy sauce, her collar was askew, and her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows. Clearly, she lacked the professional skills to handle disputes.

Yun Fei sat down calmly and tapped the table with his fingers. "Who is in charge of hotel management? Call the person in charge over, or the boss will also be fine."

The woman choked, glanced down at her clothes, straightened her collar, and coughed.

Clearing his throat, he said defiantly, "Of course I can do it..."

Glancing behind her, Yun Fei's companions, all tall, strong, and formidable, had just arrived. She hurriedly contacted the hotel manager.

After removing the robot's core, Su Ninglong sat on the robot, tossing the metal core into the air and catching it steadily, like a mischievous monkey.

Looking at the girl's composed demeanor, Yun Fei understood that there must be a reason behind everything. Every time this girl tried to justify herself, she maintained a confident and composed attitude.

Yun Fei held out his hand. "Could you give me the core?"

Su Ninglong handed it to him with a smile.

"Little darling, why have you gotten into trouble again?" Yun Fei tugged at her ponytail.

"This robot fed me contaminated and mutated food, and even said it was a gift for me." Su Ninglong was certain that there was something wrong with this robot.

“You’re lying. Our hotel’s robots are not set up to provide complimentary services,” the woman immediately retorted, stating that she had never seen the robots deliver anything without her permission.

Su Ninglong didn't need to explain to her; she simply ignored her and escalated the conflict without asking why. Trying to reason with someone like that was like talking to a brick wall—a complete waste of energy.

Su Ninglong explained to Yun Fei what had happened after she went downstairs, pointing to the food on the table, "Some of the food was contaminated, and the robot kept urging me to eat it, even feeding it to me."

It was only when this was mentioned that Yunfei noticed the steaming dishes on the table.

He twitched his lips. At first glance, it looked like a dinner party with more than ten people. "So many dishes, can you finish them all?"

"I can't finish it, but Ollie and Qirui can. They're not real dogs." They can eat almost anything humans can eat, and they have stomachs of steel.

Almost forgot she had two pets that "eat star coins," Yun Fei twitched his lips, "So you ordered the whole menu."

"I just have a sweet tooth, really!"

The little girl's bloated belly was not convincing at all.

Yun Fei examined the dishes on the table and quickly brought out the fish roe. "Are you saying there's something wrong with this dish?"

"Ah."

Yunfei used a fork to flip the fish roe over to check; there was nothing wrong with it.

I tapped it with a fork; the outer skin was a bit hard. After piercing it with force, fluffy internal tissue flowed out, looking more like a piece of white stone.

When picked up, it is granular and soft.

Yun Fei frowned and took out a portable small detector from his tactical waist pack to scan.

The light waves displayed on the screen were indeed fluctuating abnormally.

"Xiao Song, the shrine."

Song Hu was acting as a spectator when he heard Yun Fei shout, so he quickly took out the items from his backpack.

Yun Fei held the shrine in his hand and opened it towards the fish roe.

The pollutants hidden inside the fish roe immediately began to tremble uncontrollably, and the entire white roe split into countless "slugs" that crawled into the shrine.

This scene terrified the woman. "I... what is this?"

Yun Fei: "Tell me honestly, what is this?"

"I didn't buy the goods, how would I know? I don't know anything." The woman, who had just been arrogantly demanding compensation, quickly shirked responsibility.

“I don’t even know who buys this fish roe, don’t ask me.” The woman crossed her arms and said in a trembling voice, “If you have any doubts, call the police. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, you can’t falsely accuse me.”

Yun Fei said, "Call your chef over."

The woman, outwardly fierce but inwardly weak, immediately nodded and went to find the cook.

To prevent her from possibly fleeing to avoid punishment, the two students voluntarily followed behind her.

Soon, the chef and manager arrived, and the shrine completely collected the fish roe. There were no remaining secret spirits around, so Yun Fei contained it in the Secret Master's Token, then took out the box containing the Secret Master's Token, opened it, put the roe in, and closed it.

Su Ninglong looked on curiously; it was the first time she had ever seen so many Secret Agent Tokens gathered together.

The box is all black, like a 20-inch suitcase, but it also has a trailing tail, which is probably a device to provide insulation for the box.

Su Ninglong really wanted to touch the surface of the box, because strangely enough, she didn't sense any ominous aura.

Before he could even touch her, Yun Fei gently slapped his hand away. "Be good, coming here for a midnight snack without a word, and even dismantling someone else's robot. If you delay the mission, you'll be punished by sweeping the sheep pen for two weeks."

"If I don't want to touch it, I won't." Su Ninglong picked up a skewer of grilled meat and continued eating. A foodie can eat anytime, anywhere.

She ate while feeding the pet beside her.

Thinking about it, Yun Fei brought so many Mystic Tokens, was it for the purpose of carrying out a mission? How many Mystic Spirits would that require? Could these "greenhorns" handle it?

The reason why elites are called elites is that they must be outstanding in their work. Without Yun Fei saying anything more, they took the initiative to assign tasks to investigate the origin of the incident.

At this moment, Yunfei had already started chatting with the manager who had arrived.

Yunfei could tell that the manager had hurriedly changed into a white uniform, and hadn't had time to comb his hair. A few strands of hair stubbornly deviated from the "main group," sticking up in strange directions. The manager tried to suppress them several times, but couldn't, so he simply left them as they were.

"Food contaminated?" Upon hearing about the food contamination incident, the manager's expression turned serious. He had registered the information of these people and knew that they were all distinguished guests from Prosperity Planet.

Although the specifics of their purpose were unclear, the sheer number of people entering the country legally suggested they all had connections, and they couldn't afford to offend them. The manager immediately adopted a professional tone: "This unexpected situation is indeed nerve-wracking. I'm sorry my staff couldn't provide you with a suitable solution..."

"Manager, it was a child who broke the robot," the woman who brought the chef to the restaurant anxiously tried to distance herself. "And something unbelievable just happened..."

Knowing the woman's personality well, the hotel manager interrupted her, saying, "If this gentleman hadn't been reasonable, you wouldn't be standing here unharmed. Please stop talking and let me handle this, okay?"

The chef stood there bewildered, unsure whether to stand or sit, wondering if his cooking had caused the problem.

Yun Fei went straight to the heart of the matter, asking, "What kind of organism do the white seeds belong to, and where were they purchased from?"

"Mr. Yun, right? Shouldn't we first discuss whether contaminated food can cause adverse reactions?" The hotel manager was more concerned about the guests' health.

"Is it vomiting or diarrhea? Have you seen a doctor? Don't worry, if it's our problem, the hotel will take full responsibility."

Yun Fei looked past the manager and at the chef.

The chef quickly tried to prove his innocence.

In response to Yunfei's question, she said, "All the ingredients in the kitchen are supplied by one company. I remember what ingredients I used in the dishes I made tonight, and I'm very sure I didn't use fish roe."

Hearing this, the manager realized something was wrong. "Wait, are you saying you've never made any dishes with fish roe, but fish roe appeared on the customer's table?"

"I've been in the kitchen the whole time and haven't come out." The implication is that he didn't see whether any fish roe was served.

The two turned to look at the woman, who was hesitant to speak. "I was sleeping and didn't know what happened... When I came to the restaurant, I saw that child dismantling the hotel's robots."

The manager and the chef rolled their eyes, their disdain written all over their faces, but they couldn't blame the woman.

This is the boss's relative; you can't fire him, and you can't afford to offend him either.

Su Ninglong was still feeding the lead dog, as if it were none of her business.

In fact, she secretly listened to everything and overheard Yun Fei's conversation with the three of them.

Judging from the reactions of the three people at the hotel, they all seemed to know very little about the Mysterious Spirit incident.

For a hotel of this size, having three or four employees on duty is about right; any more would be a waste.

It's uncertain whether the chef has prepared any dishes featuring fish roe, but as the person in charge of the kitchen, he genuinely doesn't know what ingredients have been brought in.

Yunfei also realized this problem and asked him again, "Where does the fish roe come from?"

"I really don't know. If the hotel has a secret menu, that's the head chef's job. Wait a moment, I can find the inventory list here." After a while, the chef found it. "Gesar fish? What kind of fish is that? I don't recognize it. We might really have to call the head chef to find out."

This has implicated another person.

The hotel manager said, "Mr. Yun, could you please explain what happened before asking these questions?"

The woman interjected, "They've been questioning us the whole time; I think it's best to call the police."

The hotel manager's eyes widened. "Are you crazy?!"
People don't call the police because they don't want to make a big fuss. They can resolve it privately, so why should the police get involved?

Once the police intervene, there will be a police dispatch record. The business owner is not without rivals; what if they are caught red-handed?

Police blocked the entrance, while the enemy arbitrarily posted online that a "murder" or "poisoning incident" had occurred at a certain hotel...

Spread a rumor and break a leg.

We must find a different job for this woman later.

The hotel manager took a deep breath and maintained a professional smile: "You're on night duty, go back and check what the employee code of conduct requires, okay?"

The sarcastic tone actually made the woman obediently shut her mouth.

The Star Alliance students had already gathered the intelligence and presented it to Yun Fei. Su Ninglong quickly darted to his side and stood on tiptoe to look.

Yun Fei pushed her little head away, but Su Ninglong quickly grabbed his metal ear.

"If you misbehave again, I won't take you out next time."

“If you don’t show it to me, a month later I will still tell Assistant Liang that there is nothing there, and that it’s all your fault.”

Yun Fei's head was buzzing; this was a real Achilles' heel!
People really laugh when they are speechless.

In any case, none of the students could suppress their laughter; they had to desperately hold it in to avoid bursting out laughing.

Yun Fei decided to ignore her and quickly browsed through the pages, while Su Ninglong stared intently at the screen.

The ingredients are supplied by a supermarket on Youmuxing. The delivery person clocks in daily, entering through the back door. The supermarket always supplies extra ingredients, probably due to spoilage or some kind of bribery...

The hotel manager and chef looked at Yun Fei uneasily, unsure of his identity. The entire team resembled well-trained soldiers. He could only secretly report the matter to the boss, hoping he would come and handle it personally.

The supermarket is associated with an interstellar transportation company, Magai Interstellar Transportation Co., Ltd., whose trademark is a simple horse design with a pair of raised hooves inside a gear.

The company primarily engages in import and export business. The legal representative is a local resident of Youmuxing. The shareholder composition is currently unknown, and the company has not published specific shareholder information online.

Yun Fei naturally couldn't bypass the Interstellar Industry and Commerce Department to conduct the investigation, so he sent a message to Assistant Liang, asking her to collect information on the company's shareholders and other business matters.

It was serious business. Assistant Liang wouldn't swear. He told Yun Fei that it would take an hour to find out.

Yunfei then wanted to know the origin of the robot.

Just then, a student presented Yun Fei with a sealed bag containing the remaining evidence: "Professor Yun, these are the remaining contaminated ingredients."

“This thing…” the chef suddenly said, “I think I’ve seen it before, I know where it came from.”

"where?"

"The Ghost Cathedral".

As soon as the news broke, every student in the inner courtyard turned to each other in unison; their mission location this time was the Ghost Cathedral.

Can you share your experience?

"Of course I can tell you. Everyone knows... even the locals know that the Haunted Cathedral is closed off, but it's a tourist hotspot, and people always love going to its pink sand beach. I went there two weeks ago, and there was a big fat guy walking towards the Haunted Cathedral. I yelled at him not to go there because it was closed off, but he insisted on going." The chef tried hard to recall what happened two weeks ago, but he couldn't remember most of it.

"I can still remember this thing because that fat guy was really huge. He was heavier than three of me. We played on the beach for another two hours, and when I didn't see him come back, I took my friends and we went to look for him..."

Clearly, the two-hour delay in going to find someone wasn't out of kindness; the silence among the crowd made the chef feel slightly embarrassed. "Well, actually, I'm curious about what's in the Ghost Cathedral..."

“In the courtyard of the Ghost Cathedral, I saw a group of strangely dressed people. They seemed to be performing. I didn’t dare to get close, but there were large clumps of these fish roe at their feet.”

Yun Fei pressed further, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
