Actually, after noticing Hell Ear’s somewhat bewildered expression, Xu Fei naturally realised the other had misunderstood his intentions.
However, Xu Fei had no intention of explaining, or rather, he felt now wasn’t the right time.
Hell Ear carried out Xu Fei’s orders thoroughly, even when he didn’t fully understand them.
Because Hell Ear knew that, as a soldier, obeying orders was his duty, requiring no further justification for his actions.
Yet Hell Ear could never have imagined that he, a world-class super hacker who could breach the most advanced computer systems with a few keystrokes, was now dutifully opening a browser to search for a local old shop as per Xu Fei’s instructions.
Despite his extraordinary skills, Hell Ear, a globally unrivalled hacker, was now using his talents for something so mundane.
Even though it was a case of “when in doubt, ask Baidu,” Hell Ear’s status as a top-tier hacker meant even the website he accessed was unique.
The website was called the Omni Database, a site that purportedly contained detailed information on all known things in the world.
As long as you had a high enough hacker rank, you could access it and search for all sorts of information based on your clearance level.
The key difference between this site and other so-called search engines was that all information appearing on the Omni Database was guaranteed to be absolutely authentic, with no trace of falsehood.
The reason was simple: the founder of the Omni Database originally intended to create a forum-like platform on the internet for exchanging intelligence with others.
Gradually, the site grew larger and larger, eventually forming the vast system it was today.
Since all the information on the Omni Database was meticulously typed and uploaded by hackers, word by word, the data and answers carried a sense of authorship.
Legend had it that the founder behind the Omni Database had a mysterious background and immense influence.
Once, two low-level hackers allegedly sneaked into the site, attempting to trade fabricated information for real intelligence.
The next day, videos surfaced online showing these two individuals being inexplicably eliminated, clearly a deliberate act.
Since then, everyone using the site adhered strictly to its rules, with no one daring to cross the line.
Though using this website to search for a restaurant seemed excessive, for Hell Ear, there were no other viable tools at hand.
Hell Ear’s fingers flew across the keyboard, entering the keywords “Jinmen” and “food” into the search bar.
Soon, the Omni Database displayed information about a historic restaurant called Fengtian Lou, complete with related details.
“Young Master, this is the information I could find!” Hell Ear quickly handed the laptop to Xu Fei, who glanced at it and immediately broke into a highly satisfied smile.
“Well done, lad! It seems you picked up on my hint after all! To think you actually found such a gem of a place. What are you waiting for? Drive!”
After Xu Fei spoke, Hell Ear, though still somewhat confused by the praise, started the engine and headed toward the destination.
On the way, Hell Ear couldn’t hold back any longer and, risking a scolding, finally asked, “Young Master, I didn’t actually understand the hint you mentioned earlier. Could you explain it in more detail?”
This caught Xu Fei, sitting in the passenger seat, completely off guard. He paused, then said,
