Sheruo nodded, and after seeing that all the items were wrapped up, he continued browsing. After buying two more special top-quality island resources, nothing else caught his eye.

He then turned to his supervisor, expressed his gratitude, and inquired about recent developments and intelligence regarding the Second Sea. Places like the Treasure Pavilion often yield information difficult to obtain from the outside world, given the large number of merchants and adventurers who frequent the area, many of whom are well-informed.

After concluding their shopping spree at the Treasure Pavilion, Sheruojia led her guards away to continue their journey deeper into Holy City to search for intelligence organizations.

To his dismay, Jubaoge was unaware of any intelligence organizations in Shengming City, though they did provide a district where, if such an organization truly existed, it was most likely located.

The eastern district of Shengming City is the most chaotic area in the city. Well, it's not the kind of chaos that comes from slums; the eastern district is a hodgepodge, with too many high-ranking officials and nobles running shops there.

You can throw a stone anywhere, and the person it hits is either rich or powerful. As for powerful people, well, no one dares to make a move here. Just kidding, this is Holy City. Only someone looking for death would use force here, so normal people wouldn't dare to wander around here.

Sheruka and the others quickly arrived in the East District. As soon as they entered, they felt like they were in a completely different world from the outside.

The moment Sheruojia and her group stepped into the eastern district of Shengming City, they immediately felt its unique atmosphere. Compared to other areas, the eastern district was permeated with a strong commercial atmosphere and aristocratic charm, as if it were a small world meticulously sculpted by money and power. The streets were wide and clean, lined with shops on both sides, each with a magnificent architectural style that showcased the extraordinary status and unique taste of the shop owners.

The pedestrians were elegantly dressed and graceful, exuding an indescribable air of nobility in every gesture. Whether they were hurrying along or strolling leisurely, they maintained just the right distance and courtesy, as if bound by an unspoken understanding and set of rules.

Sheruojia pondered to himself: The Eastern District not only gathers many wealthy and powerful figures, but also enjoys excellent public security, with armed conflicts almost nonexistent. Beneath this apparent tranquility lies the result of mutual checks and balances among various forces, and is also a manifestation of Holy Cry City's strength and wisdom as the overlord of the second sea area.

He knew that gathering intelligence in such an environment required even greater caution, lest they inadvertently encounter powerful, hidden entities. Therefore, while seemingly browsing and shopping casually among the various shops, they were actually gathering information discreetly, attempting to glean valuable leads from this bustling and complex eastern district.

But after walking for so long, I still haven't seen a single hidden shop? Strange, could it be that there isn't a single intelligence organization in Holy City?

"Hey, Chieftain, look over there, isn't that an intelligence organization?"

Suddenly, the guard beside him spoke to Sheruojia.

Hmm? Upon hearing this, Sheruojia looked over and saw a large flow of people coming and going in front of the door.

I raised my gaze slightly and looked at the sign above the door, which read: "The First Intelligence Headquarters of the Holy Roar Sea!"

(⊙o⊙)…

Sheruojia gazed at the signboard with interest, secretly pondering: The name "First Intelligence Headquarters of the Holy Roar Sea" was indeed unexpectedly high-profile. Generally, intelligence organizations try to maintain a low profile and secrecy to avoid attracting unnecessary attention. However, this place proclaimed itself to the world in such a blatant way—could there be some hidden meaning?

He gestured for his guards to follow, and together they headed towards the seemingly "upright" intelligence headquarters. As they walked, Sheruojia observed his surroundings, noticing that despite the grand facade, the expressions of the people entering varied. They were not as relaxed and casual as those in ordinary shops; instead, they carried a subtle sense of vigilance and mystery.

As he got closer, he paid even closer attention to the eyes and actions of those coming and going, trying to glean some clues. Perhaps this so-called "First Intelligence Headquarters" was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

However, Sheruo quickly dismissed his previous idea, realizing that the "First Intelligence Headquarters of the Holy Sea" was indeed as superficial as it appeared.

Upon entering the lobby of the intelligence headquarters and seeing the gleaming price list for intelligence, Snake; Ruojia couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. It turned out that this seemingly high-profile "First Intelligence Headquarters of the Holy Sea" actually employed an unconventional business model. They made intelligence trading transparent and market-oriented, listing all intelligence like commodities with clearly visible prices.

He browsed with great interest the dazzling array of intelligence content and its corresponding prices, and couldn't help but sigh with admiration. This open model of selling intelligence, while overturning his understanding, also demonstrated a peculiar efficiency and fairness. In such an environment, both the powerful and the ordinary could obtain the information they needed based on their own requirements and ability to pay.

Sheruo decided to test whether this "openly priced" intelligence service was as efficient and reliable as it seemed. He consulted with the staff about several key pieces of intelligence and, after some conversation, learned that the operating mechanism here was indeed rigorous, and the intelligence sold was collected and verified by a professional team to ensure the authenticity and timeliness of the information.

Therefore, after confirming the value of the required information, Sheruka purchased it at the published price, which was much more convenient and avoided a lot of trouble, since the information board even had information about the Holy Sea tickets.

They came all this way just to gather information about the Holy Sea, didn't they? Look, it's all on the forum, it's just a little pricey, but not as expensive as the information about the Holy Ming Dynasty at the very beginning.

Sheruojia was certainly interested in the gossip about the Holy Ming Dynasty, but after looking at the money in his pocket, he decided to give up the idea and instead focus on buying the information he wanted first.

Soon, Sheruojia received a storage bag containing all the necessary intelligence. After glancing at it and confirming that everything was in order, he led everyone away from the "First Intelligence Headquarters of the Holy Sea".

Having achieved its objective, there was no need to linger any longer. Sheruojia immediately notified the dispersed squads to quickly return to the Huoyou, as it was time to go back.

Things went smoothly, and Sheruojia planned to send the contents back one by one after returning to the ship.

The group left the East District in a grand procession and headed towards the port. They quickly returned to the Huoyou and, after paying the docking fee, the Huoyou slowly left the port following the guiding ship.
