Chapter 18: In the depths of the gray market, jingle shops

"Haha, Uncle Hou is joking." Lotte Yu immediately put his arms around Xun Qiu and walked towards a larger building.

"It's a mess here. However, the boss behind the scenes is actually the ...... of the Sishan family" When Lotte Yu said the words "Sishan", he leaned himself into Xun Qiu's ear, and his voice was a few degrees lower, "The person in charge here is a side child of the Sishan family, and outsiders can't find out this relationship." But don't talk about it outside. The people of the Sishan family all eat people and don't spit out bones. I can't afford to mess with it! ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet an absolutely reliable little brother. He'll take care of the card set for us. ”

Walking through several gray and dilapidated low buildings, Xun Qiu found that they had entered a rather mixed market.

The floors are low, the lighting is dim, and the aisles are densely packed with all kinds of shops. Among them, there are many card shops, material stores, and mechanical parts stores for mechas. Even passing by in front of the store, Xun Qiu could also see that the goods here were indeed dazzling. It seems that as long as he wants to get it, there will be it here.

Of course, there is almost nothing completely new here. Second-hand goods are scarce here. Many of the items sold in these vintage shops may be older than the ones they are in.

"This ......" Lotte Yu walked through the alley in front of him.

Xun Qiu has already determined, Lotte Yu must have something to do with this. Because the more you go inside, the more people greet him. And Lotte Yu doesn't seem to be a regular customer here at all, but more like it has some kind of special status here. Many of those who greeted him had a little respect. Even if a person with a bad face is, he must at least pay attention when he sees him.

Xun Qiu has a wonderful feeling that Lotte Yu is the person in charge here. Although it is quite unlikely. Because Lotte Yue is only eighteen years old, and he doesn't have that kind of strength and courage.

Regardless of what Lotte has to do with this place, it's clear that it's his home turf.

Xun Qiu's heart instinctively tightened, his eyes narrowed, and he became vigilant. Of course, this kind of very subtle action will not be discovered by Lotte Yu, who is walking in front of Xun Qiu.

After walking around the market for most of the time, the two finally arrived at their destination.

"This is it!" Lotte Yu pointed to the small shop in front of him and said.

Xun Qiu took a look and found that this shop was almost no different from other shops in the gray market.

A small door enters, and there is a clutter of containers. The various items on it were completely thrown directly on, and there was no categorization. It seems that the owner has his own very principled casualness. You won't find any neat details here. Even on the ground, there are all kinds of groceries scattered around. The careful Xun Qiu found that most of the things in this store were almost all mechanical original parts.

"Come in!" Lotte Yu led the way, carefully dodging the things that looked rotten to the bones under his feet, "Don't look at the chaos here, sometimes you can really find treasures." Tinker Bell has its own set of rules for placing things, and we try not to mess it up. ”

Don't mess around?!

Xun Qiu's mind was full of question marks. With this look, how can you mess it up?

"Tinker Bell?" Xun Qiu asked.

"Yes, that's what everybody calls him. No one knows what his real name is, not even me. After a little explanation, Lotte Yu shouted inside, "Tinker Bell!" ”

Xun Qiu found that although there was only one narrow door in this shop, there were actually three entrances inside. The innermost part is a place that looks like a small workshop. In the small workshop-like room, there was a thin figure on a workbench doing something to himself. If it weren't for the mess in the area, he would have looked like a high-level mechanic with concentration.

"Ah...... Yes! Lele! As soon as he heard Lotte Yu's voice, the figure finally raised his head. Tinker Bell looks like he's just a boy who's about sixteen or seventeen years old. Its height is more than half a head lower than that of Lotte Yu and Xun Qiu. The black shabby hoodie he was wearing clearly didn't fit. In the small dark room, his wheat-colored skin looked even darker, except for a pair of round black pearl-like eyes.

Tinker Bell put down his men and walked over to the two.

"Lele! You're back! How about it, did you successfully become a master? (Lotte smiles and nods.) I knew that at your level, it wasn't a good deal! Tinker Bell touched the ash on her face, her face uncontrollable with excitement.

"Hehe, of course!" Lotte Yu stood very comfortably in the middle of the room, looking around the room full of memories and all kinds of mechanical parts, "It's still the same place here!" An unpleasant smell of motor oil. As he spoke, he raised his hand in disgust.

"Cut, I've only been in the academy for a few years, so I'm not used to this kind of place?" Tinker Bell tilted her mouth, squinted her eyes, and slammed back very unceremoniously. Immediately after discovering the existence of Xun Qiu behind Lotte Yu, he immediately opened Le Tianyu, his pupils shrank, his eyes showed a fierce light, as if he had changed someone, and looked at Xun Qiu very vigilantly, "Who is this?" ”

Xun Qiu and Tinker Bell looked at each other for a moment. found that although Tinker Bell is quite familiar with Lotte Yu, the temperament of the two is completely incompatible. No one could have imagined that the two of them would be such acquaintances. Just after being glanced at by Tinker Bell, Xun Qiu felt that he had been seen through. His gaze seemed to have a terrifying penetrating power to see everything he wanted to see!

"Xun Qiu." Xun Qiu had seen too much of this level of gaze, and he wouldn't feel any discomfort. When I heard Tinker Bell ask, she replied very naturally. His voice was so calm and his tone was so ordinary that even Tinker Bell couldn't help but smile.

"Lele, your friend? It's kind of interesting! From your academy? Seeing that Xun Qiu's correspondence was so bland, Tinker Bell immediately had a good impression of him in his heart. It's a strange attraction. Through this simple question and answer, Tinker Bell felt that the person named Xun Qiu in front of him might be different from the students in the academy who grew up in the greenhouse.

"Well, my friend. Like me, a master who has just graduated. Lotte Yu didn't pay any attention to the brief glance between Tinker Bell and Xun Qiu, he sat down in the place before Tinker Bell and tinkered with the things on the table, "Tinker Bell, you have been researching for so many years, have you achieved any results?" These things, in my opinion, are still a pile of scrap metal! ”

"Cut, you know what?! Get up! Don't mess with my stuff! "Tinker Bell saw Lotte Yu looking around, and he suddenly became energetic, and there was a tendency to blast Lotte Yu out of this room.

After Lotte Yu got up unhurriedly, Tinker Bell turned his gaze to Xun Qiu again, and asked in a still somewhat immature voice:

"Tell me something! It's not as simple as just looking at me. ”

"yes, we've got some goods to sell!" Lotte smiled weirdly.

This smiling dimple may fascinate some ignorant teenage girl. However, for Tinker Bell, who is familiar with Lotte Enjoy, he immediately saw the unusual meaning contained in it.

"Rare?! Big business?! Come on, come on, let's talk outside, it's dirty here, hehe......" Before the words fell, he wanted to pull Xun Qiu to the outside.

But before he could make a move, he was grabbed by Lotte Yu's arm.

"It's hard to see the light." Lotte Yu said lightly, and then gave Xun Qiu a look and motioned for him to take out the set card.

Xun Qiu immediately understood. Although he was 100% sure that this was Lotte Joy's home stadium, after seeing Tinker Bell, his original vigilance was relieved. Tinker Bell can see through him, so why isn't he familiar with someone like Tinker Bell?

If he and Lotte Joy are just simple friends, then the friendship between Lotte Joy and Tinker Bell is obviously much deeper. Lotte Yu was able to bring him to Tinker Bell, which can be described as full of trust. He can still see this.

Without hesitation, he took out Master Zishu's set of stereoscopic projection cards and handed them to Tinker Bell.

The moment he saw that set of cards, Tinker Bell's face flashed with imperceptible greed. Although he immediately realized that Xun Qiu was in front of him, and he returned to normal in an instant, this change in his eyes still couldn't escape Xun Qiu's eyes.

Tinker Bell raised his hand in disbelief to look at Xun Qiu in front of him, and then looked at Lotte Yu, looking at the projection set card while amazed.

"My Seven Seas Holy Ancestor! It's really a first-class rarity! ”

After he finished reading it all, he snapped the card in the palm of his hand, and then the corners of his mouth slanted, and said to Xun Qiu with a smile:

"Aren't you afraid we'll swallow these things? I'm sure you can see that Lele and I wear a pair of pants. Even if you say that this card is yours, it is estimated that no one outside will believe it. ”

"We can even make you disappear here......" Tinker Bell's voice suddenly turned dark and evil. If you are a person with weak heartstrings, it is estimated that in the face of this situation, it is inevitable that your legs will tremble and panic. But......

"Of course not." Xun Qiu said very naturally. There was no fear in his heart, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

"Why?" Tinker Bell asked curiously.

Lotte Yu also felt a little interested, and turned his head to look at Xun Qiu.

"Because although you are a greedy person, since you are a friend of Lotte, then I have no reason to doubt it. Of course, even if you don't have Lotte, with my own vision, I don't think you're a villain who forgets his righteousness. Otherwise, you wouldn't be shackling around in this corner, tinkering with all these worthless gadgets! ”

"Stop!" Tinker Bell's face was visibly displeased, "It's not up to you to decide whether these things are valuable or not!" ”

"......" Xun Qiu was silent, just smiled. The more Tinker Bell nervous about the pile of gadgets, the more it shows that he is the one who is after something. And those who pursue something will never give up their lofty goals for the sake of small interests in front of them.

"I don't have that much money to take your goods, and if I can trust them, I'll go find someone to eat them right away. You and Lele are waiting here. No problem, right? Tinker Bell is also a cheerful person, and he was provoked by Xun Qiu, and he didn't want to go around in circles, so he went straight to the point.

Xun Qiu made a gesture of please, smiling and easy-going.

Tinker Bell nodded, and immediately ran out of the store, disappearing into the dimly lit aisles outside.
