The short man didn't let him in directly. Instead, he closed the door first, asked the person deep inside the room, then reopened the door and warned, "Don't mess around. There are armed robots everywhere in the room."
Inside was a small living room, about the size of a typical one-bedroom in Zone 014, yet four armed robots stood within this narrow space. Judging by their appearance, they had been modified, with one robot's chest and abdomen parts exposed directly, the wiring and chips inside seemingly patched up, indicating it wasn't their first modification.
Though these robots looked old-fashioned, they were heavily armed.
The short man pointed to the sofa in the living room, "If you have something to discuss, talk to the teacher via video."
Xu Huo sat down, and a communicator in the corner automatically approached. Once the camera lit up, a business card appeared on the screen.
"State your business first, then we can negotiate the price," the person on the other end said.
