The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

The Iceberg Restaurant, located on Lanxie Street in the South District, is a high-end store in the Cobot Iceberg series of catering industries. It is also a flagship product launched by Gotham Tourism Industry in terms of catering culture.

Since Copot's mother's condition stabilized, he has put a lot of time and energy into business. Copot is a good businessman, and at the same time, he is backed by the big tree of the Falcone family. It can be said that he has eaten up everything. The dividends of the times have caught up with the high-speed train of Gotham's transformation.

One year after the second Iceberg restaurant was running smoothly in the East District, Cobot led a group of followers who came out of the living hell in the East District to launch the Polar Iceberg catering culture concept, integrating the industry into two business lines: Polar and Iceberg.

The polar business is positioned for Gotham locals, with comprehensive entertainment venues built by itself and invested by external parties, including nightclubs, casinos, striptease bars, etc., while the Bingshan business is aimed at tourists and high-end consumers, and is mainly engaged in the catering industry. , the restaurant focuses on Gotham's local fusion cuisine. Each restaurant has a huge iceberg landscape for tourists to take photos and check in.

Gotham's tourism industry is becoming more and more prosperous, and Iceberg Restaurant has gradually appeared on the pages of East Coast food and tourism news media. Copot's value has also increased. As the weather gets hotter and hotter, some local middle-class people have also begun to More inclined to spend at Bingshan Restaurant.

Cobot seized the opportunity. In addition to the huge iceberg landscape, he also placed small iceberg mist landscapes on each dining table. He changed the floor and ceiling into ice crystal-like ice blue, and used dry ice. The white mist creates a cool and cool atmosphere, and the restaurant's business becomes even more popular. Most of the time, it can be said that it is hard to find a restaurant.

But today, the only Bingshan restaurant in the South District informed all diners that the second floor has been fully booked, all private rooms have been sold, and services are temporarily unavailable.

The loyal diners felt a little disappointed, but they knew that this must be the owner of the restaurant, Cobot, who had distinguished guests to entertain. The last time he emptied an entire restaurant floor, it was to entertain all the heads of the twelve families.

But today, the second floor of Bingshan Restaurant was empty, with only two figures sitting at the table by the window. Schiller raised his eyes and looked at the decoration of Bingshan Restaurant, comparing how it was different from the last time he came.

When the Iceberg Restaurant first opened, Schiller and Victor came once, but they did not tell Copot. After all, they were just here for a meal and there was no need to make a big fuss.

Compared to that time, the characteristics of Iceberg Restaurant are more obvious now. Apparently Victor made some suggestions to Cobot after he returned. Now it seems that these suggestions are quite prescient. I am afraid that there is only one restaurant in the world that uses dense ice. As furniture for the dining room.

It’s not that the restaurant is called Iceberg Restaurant because it really uses icebergs to cool down. The reason why the Iceberg Restaurant is cooler is that the air conditioning is turned on. Now this version of dense ice can be placed in a room at room temperature without participating in any heat exchange. What’s more, Like a dense material that looks like ice.

But most people don’t understand the principle. They only think that walking on the ice and eating on a table and tableware made of ice is a very cool thing. Coupled with the white mist of dry ice that can confuse the vision, it’s just a cool thing. It seems that as soon as you enter this restaurant, all the unbearable heat and heat completely disappear.

Schiller looked at the steaming dishes on the dense ice plate and felt a little curious. Cobot adjusted the position of the plate on the table and explained: "This is the dense ice specially developed by Professor Victor." The technology is specifically used to insulate heat and has better material properties than glass in all aspects. Unfortunately, the cost has not been reduced, so unless you take the customized high-end route, it will be difficult to become a rookie in the materials industry."

"Roy has been trying to promote this technology that is unique to Gotham, but the decorative dense ice is not too attractive and special compared to other glass and resin materials, so the sales are average. Currently, Gotham's cold chain industry is the fist. The product is still dense ice for industrial use.”

"It's too early to consider the decorative building materials industry." Schiller shook his head and said, "But it is true that this unique material can be used to decorate urban landscapes, such as making city statues or raw materials for public space art. wait."

"The mayor has already considered this issue, but how to cleverly integrate it with Gotham's greening work is still being discussed by the city government team."

"My garden has been rebuilt again." Schiller shook his head, and then said: "I'm afraid this is something that my housekeeper and I need to consider. I also plan to move an ice sculpture back, but I feel that it doesn't have the same style no matter where I put it. take."

"How about making it a children's playground?" Cobot suggested: "Slides and swings made of ice will definitely be very popular with children. The strength of dense ice is much higher than that of glass and crystal, so there is no need to worry. Security Question."

Schiller showed a thoughtful look, and seemed to be a little tempted. Cobot cut the ham on the plate and said: "I have recently planned to add a children's playground on the third floor of the Polar Shopping Center. After all, it is the only way to get parents from there." After freeing the hands of a group of little devils, they have time to go shopping."

"Tomorrow I will send the purchase order to your mailbox. You can mark the items you are interested in. I will ask the factory to make an extra set and send it to you."

"You opened a shopping mall?" Schiller asked a little surprised: "Where is it?"

"Near the newly opened tourist beach in the East District, not far from Falcone Hotel and New Wayne Hotel."

"That's a great place. How's the business?"

"It wasn't very good before." Cobot gave an answer that Schiller didn't expect. He said: "I misjudged the divergence of tourist crowds. Those who wanted to go to the beach to sunbathe, surf and swim were different from those who wanted to go to the beach. The shopping crowds in the city center are not overlapping, and they rarely book the same hotel. I might as well buy the old shopping mall in the city center and renovate it."

"So is there a loss?" "It can only be said to be flat, so now I plan to transform the new shopping center into a comprehensive entertainment venue related to marine culture, selling and renting swimming equipment, seafood restaurants and seafood specialty catering businesses. , relaxing massage therapy after exercise, as well as seaside cultural center tours and science popularization, family parent-child interaction and other industries, instead of selling jewelry and clothes as before."

"Your business vision is amazing, I think this will be successful." Schiller said sincerely.

After a pause, Schiller brought the topic back to the topic. He said: "The murder case you entrusted me to investigate has some clues. The murderer has not been found yet, but I think the emergence of the murder case may be related to me."

Cobot frowned. He didn't think that Schiller was saying that he killed the person. He immediately speculated sharply: "Is there another person who wanted to attract your attention and killed someone in the city?"

Schiller shook his head and said: "No, no, my club has been very stable recently. They have been discussing topics related to blood diseases recently. No one in the entire east coast has taken action. This time it may be the real enemy."

Cobot immediately became nervous. He stared at Schiller and said, "Are they dangerous? What do they want from you? Do you need to take some defensive measures?"

Schiller opened his eyes slightly in surprise. He really didn't expect that when things got to this point, there would be people who were sincerely worried about him, but he couldn't say that he wasn't touched by it, so he said: "My safety There is no need to worry about the problem, the situation will not develop to such an extreme extent, but the temptation and harassment may continue for a period of time, so I must warn the gang city government and some other important figures in Gotham that they need to be more vigilant during this period."

Cobot frowned and thought for a while before speaking: "Is the other party difficult to deal with?"

"Have you heard of the League of Assassins?"

"It seems to have some impression." Cobot recalled: "I heard Alberto mention it a few times, but it may be a grudge from the old godfather's era. The old godfather and the priest of Gotham Cathedral are very likely to have conflicts with their We had dealings with the boss, but that was decades ago, and Alberto didn’t know much about it.”

"The leader of the Assassin League is called Lei Xiaogu. He is an immortal and may have lived for almost 1000 years. He believes that the existing order of the world must be changed, and what is important is that he changes it."

"Some of my previous actions interfered with the world order. He keenly discovered that in addition to the Assassin League, there are people who have affected the historical direction of the world. They were very dissatisfied with this, so they targeted me after multiple inquiries."

"They regard me as their enemy, but at the same time they want to win over my students." Schiller tapped the tableware lightly with his fingertips and said while thinking: "Lei Xiaogu admires Batman very much, and he wants to make himself His daughter will marry Batman so that Batman can join the League of Assassins. If that doesn’t work, get his genes and get an excellent offspring.”

"But I think his plan is only at the first step. They are still trying to win over Batman, but when they are against me, Lei Xiaogu is likely to want to kill two birds with one stone."

Copper paused while cutting the food, and he said, "He doesn't want to use Batman to deal with you, does he?"

"It's not impossible." Schiller tapped the plate with his fork and said, "From the perspective of a bystander, what is my relationship with Batman?"

Cobot was about to comment on "teachers and students torturing each other," but after thinking about it, he felt that not everyone could understand what Schiller and Batman had been doing in torturing each other these past few years.

In other words, probably only the people of Gotham can understand that mutual torture is actually a necessary process for the development of friendship. In the eyes of normal people, once a confrontational relationship arises, the contradiction will inevitably become deeper and deeper.

"When I took the initiative to accept the FBI's malfeasance investigation, Talia appeared in the FBI. I don't think this is a coincidence." Schiller opened up and brought up another detail, and said: "Maybe Talia did not I don’t know what I am doing, but Lei Xiaogu must be very aware of the hidden meaning behind every order he makes.”

"When I was accused of malfeasance, Lei Xiaogu knew that this was the best opportunity to observe the relationship between me and my students, so Talia appeared there at the right time, seemingly just going through the motions and doing nothing. , but she brought back the best news for Lei Xiaogu."

"Batman is not a respectful student, and I am not a tolerant and loving teacher. He felt that he had found a crack between us that was enough to cause conflict, so Talia came to Gotham."

"Beauty plan?"

"It would be better to say that hormones of the opposite sex are the best fuel for mental manipulation." Schiller lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "Now it just depends on which of the two is better at manipulation."
