Chapter 156: House. plum
House. Li stayed in the box on the upper floor of the tavern, and the bartender walked tremblingly at the front of the stairs, while Li Mu and Li Mu followed behind him.
The leader of the skinners, had been watching them from below.
Li Mu knew that after today, this leader would definitely secretly investigate his details. It's a pity that he has changed his face, and Li Mei is also wearing a gas mask, so they are destined to have no way to track down their news.
On the second floor, the bartender, who was walking in front, pushed open a wooden door and motioned for Li Mu and the two to go in.
A man with short black hair sat in a rocking chair, his skin was whiter than normal, but his eyes were beautiful blue. He was wearing a crisp white shirt with a crisp ironing and a linen suit over it. Li Mu glanced at it and found that the buttons of this suit were hand-polished from expensive tortoiseshell shells all over the body.
The curtains in the room were pulled back, and the sunlight shone in from the outside, making it very bright and spacious. On a small square table beside it, there was a vase of flowers, which were delicate, apparently freshly plucked.
House. Lee had a book spread out on his lap and was flipping through it casually.
"You may be seated."
He closed the book and stretched out his hand to signal Li Mu and the two to sit down.
Li Mu sat on the chair, his eyesight was very good, and he glanced at the book from a long distance. The book was hand-copied in Inglis, and Li Mu recognized it with his limited vocabulary in his previous life, and it was a Bible.
"Do you recognize the English language?"
House. Li Yang raised the book in his hand.
"I don't know, what kind of book is this?"
Li Mu shook his head and hid himself. It's the instinct of every survivor of the wasteland.
House. Li did not think that Li Mu was lying, in the Deccan Plateau. Very few people know Inglis, and few people learn this completely useless language.
"It's a chivalric novel. It's very interesting to write. ”
He looked at Li Mu, raised the book in his hand, and put it in a drawer.
"Thank you for cleaning up the rough barbarians of the Skinners, who have turned this place into a noisy wet market. I wish Redbeard had disposed of the materials he had stolen from the Nanyang Heavy Industries convoy and left Larkin Bede sooner. ”
House. Li showed off his intelligence ability without a trace. He stood up, opened an aluminum can, scooped out a spoonful of coffee beans, put it in the hand-ground coffee machine, and slowly grinded it.
"To thank you. Let me give you a cup of coffee. Both the Zhuxia and the Hindustani don't like coffee, and it's not easy to get these beans. ”
He said, shaking the handle of the coffee maker slowly and evenly, clearly a veteran.
"What is coffee?"
Li Mu looked at the hand-ground coffee machine curiously.
"It's a drink that Westerners like to drink, and it tastes great."
House. Li thought for a moment and tilted his head to explain.
He picks up a jug of purified water, adds it to the coffee pot, closes the lid, and adds the ground coffee. Carefully pulled out a piece of filter paper from the drawer. Cover it, put it on the coffee pot, put it on a delicate stove, and simmer over low heat.
"Okay. We only need to wait for more than 20 minutes before we can drink the mellow coffee. ”
House. Li said, rubbing his hands. sat opposite Li Mu and the two. He propped his hands on the table and looked at Li Mu with blazing eyes.
"Then I would like to ask this gentleman. What information do you want? ”
"I want to know, now in the ruins of the wilderness. The range of those powerful mutated creatures. ”
Li Mu leaned his body back on the back of the chair, and his eyes narrowed. Lee stared at each other.
"Oh, yes."
House. Li De nodded.
"So, how strong does this need to be, is it the fourth energy level, or the third energy level?"
"The third level, but the kind of mutant creature that has just entered the third level."
The lead used in alchemy is the layer of lead film adsorbed under the skin by those mutated creatures. The most precious gold and lead, even if you kill thousands of mutated creatures of the fifth energy level, you can't refine much. It is only in the third level and the subcutaneous part of the second level that it exists in large quantities.
"I don't know how many mutated creatures you need."
"Fifteen."
Li Mu said the number, the gold and lead refined by the five third-level mutant creatures were enough for him to refine the golden pill. But he doubled the number and had more options in the event of an accident.
More critically, he didn't want House. Lee deduced his whereabouts from the intelligence sold to him. and sell this information to the skinners or others. These intelligence traffickers have no ethics to speak of. Although it is unlikely that the skinner will spend expensive intelligence fees for the sake of a fat sheep. But he did it just in case.
What's more, the Demon Hunter Sword is in his hands, and there are several undercurrents surging in the Brotherhood of Freedom, so he must be more cautious.
"Yes, fifteen heads, I will erase the change for you, a total of three hundred and fifty gold coins, and the day after tomorrow, I can give you the information."
House. Lee confidently said that most of the scavengers in Larkin Bede are connected to him, and these people are like his eyes, ears and tentacles, bringing together what is happening in Larkin Bede every moment into his brain.
It didn't take long for the aroma of coffee to fill the room.
House. Li stood up, picked up the brewed coffee, and poured a cup for Li Mu, and when he was about to pour it for Li Mei, Li Mu stopped him.
"This companion of mine has a very sensitive respiratory system, and he can't take off his gas mask, so he won't drink it."
Li Mu could feel that after he said this, Li Mei's original mood suddenly became depressed.
"What a pathetic illness."
House. Li glanced at Li Mei with pity, sat back in his seat, picked up the coffee cup in his hand, took a sip, squinted his eyes and enjoyed the mellow aroma of coffee flowing on the tip of his tongue.
Li Mu picked up the coffee cup, deliberately pretended to be clumsy, wiped his lips, and frowned. This coffee was much more bitter than the instant coffee he had drunk in his previous life, and he shivered bitterly as soon as his tongue touched the coffee.
"The first time I drank it, it did feel a little bitter." House. Li De showed a knowing smile on his face, took out a small packet of white sugar, and pushed it in front of Li Mu. and motioned to Li Mu how to stir the sugar into the coffee.
Li Mu followed his example, tore open the package, poured the whole bag of sugar into the coffee, and stirred it before he felt that the coffee could be eaten.
"If Mr. feels that he is short of manpower when hunting mutant creatures, you can contact me, I know several batches of manpower, very honest and reliable, but the commission is a little high. Of course, I'm going to take a little commission from it. ”
House. Li De had a harmless smile on his face.
"No need, my brother is enough."
Li Mu shook his head, he wouldn't trust any one of Larkin Bedri, let alone this incomprehensible intelligence monger.
In the game, many players buy information from him, but few players who dare to hire the people he recommends will never end well.
Li Mu drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp and stood up.
"In that case, then I'll go, and I'll come over with money the day after tomorrow."
"See you the day after tomorrow" House. Li also stood up, shook hands with Li Mu, and handed the can of coffee to Li Mu by the way: "This can of coffee will be given to you, I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future." ”
Waiting for Li Mu and the two to leave, House. Lee sat back in his seat, took the Bible out of the drawer, and ran his fingers over the hardcover cover.
The air near him fluctuated suddenly, and a man wearing a black leather mask appeared there.
"Do you see anything?"
House. Lee asked.
"It's very strong, I can't tell what level he is, but I can feel that his physical body is very strong." When the man in black said this, he paused: "Stronger than me, and it contains an unknown destructive force, very powerful." ”
"As for the person wearing the mask, his mental power is very keen, and when I observed him, he also stared at me, as if he had discovered me, and it is not easy for a person of the fourth energy level to be able to do this."
House. Lee clasped his fingers on the tabletop.
"I can't see through them, especially the person in charge, who is as smooth as a pebble, so I can't get any valuable information from him, and I always have the inexplicable feeling that he seems to know a lot about me, which makes me feel very uncomfortable."
It's hard for him to describe the strange feeling.
"Add this to the weekly report and report it to the organization."
"The organization asked us to record any valuable information about Markin Bed, and I had a hunch that the winds in Rakin Bed had begun to change. The original powerful Yin Corpse Gang leader is just surviving for a while, and the eight major families are all eyeing the gang leader, and chaos is coming, and our opportunity has come. ”
House. Li said, his whole body trembled with excitement, his hatred for the Yin Corpse Gang was as deep as the sea, which was why he joined the organization. And now seems to be the best chance to destroy the Yin Corpse Gang.
"There seems to be something unusual on the side of the Hindustani, not long ago, they seem to have gathered a lot of strength and went to Xinlinfen. After that, they began martial law, and our spies lurking inside them could no longer spread the word. ”
The man in black said with a frown.
"They must have suffered a little loss at the hands of the Zhuxia people, which is why they are so highly nervous. If the Ouroboros' power is greatly weakened, we will be more confident that we will mobilize the old diehards in the organization to reach out to the Deccan Plateau. ”
House. Li had already put the matter of Li Mu and the others on the back of his mind.
"To strengthen the strength, be sure to pull out the exact information on the loss of the Ouroboros." (To be continued.) )
