Chapter 17: Jean Grey
Ellis is worried about the new quest released after the pawnshop system is upgraded!
"The guy who knocked on the door, is he blind, obviously there is a sign on the door that is closed, and he is knocking hard!"
After hearing the knock on the door, he was depressed and wanted to get up and beat this uninvited guest to death.
Fortunately, he has not been completely driven crazy by the newly released mission, and when he opened an inn in China in his last life, he developed the principle of being kind to others, and he did not completely change it for a while.
So after taking two deep breaths, blocking all the words displayed in the pawnshop system in his mind, and showing a professional false smile on his face, he used the power of the absolute realm to open the door of the pawnshop.
It's not that he's lazy and doesn't even want to walk a few steps between the sofa and the door, but that he can't use his newfound strength proficiently, and he still walks a little off!
'There's a problem, there's a problem with these two!' ’
When the door of the pawn shop opened, Ellis's eyes lit up when he saw a man and a woman walking in.
The young man among the two should not be very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old, although he kept a straight face and tried his best to make a mature expression, but he still couldn't hide the fledgling immaturity on his face.
The lady next to him looked to be in her twenties, tall, wearing a well-cut red dress, light makeup on her face, and long blond hair tied behind her head.
If Ellis is not mistaken, the clothes worn by the boy are not luxurious, they are just ordinary popular clothing brands, but the skirts on this beauty are worth a lot of money.
In the memory of the owner of the pawn shop in the past, I clearly remember that this dress should have been specially tailored in a handmade tailoring shop in New York that has been inherited for more than 100 years.
Judging from their clothing, these two people don't look like people who will be short of money at all, let alone to the extent that they need to come to the pawn shop and pawn items!
And after the two entered the house, they did not walk directly to Ellis's location, but first looked at the extremely luxurious decoration inside before calmly coming to the reception area.
If the young boy can't judge the value of the decoration in the house, he just treats the decoration of Jiang's pawn shop as a product, so he can maintain a disapproving expression.
The beautiful woman in the handmade dress seemed a little calm, after all, even Freeman's assistant, Samuel, could see the value hidden under the extravagant decoration of the pawn shop.
It doesn't make sense that this beautiful woman in a skirt with good taste can't see it, and she deliberately maintains an indifferent appearance.
Doesn't she wonder why a small pawn shop has all these luxurious decorations?
"Welcome to Jiang's pawn shop, please take a seat!" When the two of them came to the front, Ellis took the initiative to make a gesture of please, and looked at the two men carefully.
"May I ask who you are?" After the two sat down across from him, the beautiful woman in the skirt took Ellis's words and asked him rhetorically.
"Me? I'm the owner of this pawn shop, Ellis Jiang, you can call me Boss Jiang, or Ellis. ”
Although Ellis didn't believe that the two of them would come to pawn items for money because of life, he couldn't guess the specific purpose of the other party's pawnshop for a while.
Because they may have been lured by small advertisements (think too much!). ), but more likely not.
If you open your mouth rashly, ask if you need to pawn your soul and lifespan, and what wishes you want to fulfill.
It would be very embarrassing to be treated as a psychopath by the other party, so after introducing himself, he simply threw the initiative to the other party:
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"We were outside the door, and we saw the recruitment notice you put out, Boss Jiang, so ......" The beauty in the skirt did not directly answer Ellis's words, but mentioned the recruitment hanging outside the door.
Seeing that the beauty of the suit deliberately circled and talked about the recruitment sign hanging in front of the door in the same way as Samuel, Elliston concluded that the two really had another purpose.
If you are really short of money and need to come to the pawn shop, what difficulties will the pawn items go through, where will you care about whether the pawn shop is recruiting?
They only care about what they bring and how much it is worth!
It's just that Ellis wasn't sure if they were here for the magical abilities advertised in the small advertisement, so he simply interrupted the dress beauty and asked her rhetorically: "So, you're here to apply?" ”
"Can't you?" At this time, the young man opposite interjected.
Ellis ignored the boy who showed strong desire, first turned his head and stared meaningfully at the red skirt on the beautiful woman in the skirt, and then said with a smile:
"Of course you can, but you're not short of money, are you? After all, if you can afford to wear a custom skirt from Lao Geer's tailor's shop, you shouldn't be interested in my assistant job in this small shop. So...... You must have come to my pawnshop for some other purpose, right? ”
After being exposed by Ellis, the beauty in the skirt didn't feel embarrassed at all, just pondered for a moment, and said with a normal face: "Then I'll just say it directly, Boss Jiang, we are here because of Lily." ”
"Lily introduced you? Mutants? When the dress beauty said Lily's name, Ellis directly regarded the two as mutant customers that Lily had introduced to him.
At the same time, I also gave Freeman's family a big thumbs up in my heart.
He really didn't expect that for the sake of profit, he made a small pit to Samuel, and he really got it right.
Samuel introduced him to Lily, and Lily introduced him to two new customers today.
If these two go back, introduce him to ......
In that case, I'm afraid that he won't be able to find a mutant who can help him complete the tasks of the first-level pawnshop system within a month?
"Do you really know about mutants?" The two sitting on the sofa opposite each other glanced at each other, and then looked at him in unison.
"Of course I do, don't you?"
Because Ellis regarded the two of them as mutants with incomplete awakening X genes and physical defects, he was very puzzled by their question: "Didn't Lily tell you about my pawn shop?" ”
"Well, I didn't go into much detail on the phone, Lily only said that you can solve our problem here." The suit beauty reacted quickly and immediately picked up his words.
"Really?"
Ellis wondered why Lily hadn't explained the rules of the pawnshop to them, but because of the absolute realm given by the pawnshop system, he could be guaranteed to stay absolutely safe in the pawnshop.
In the subconscious (self-righteous), I didn't think that anyone would run to Tai Sui's head to break ground, so after looking at the two of them suspiciously, he took the initiative to explain to the two potential financiers: "Two, to put it simply, as long as you have pawns of sufficient value, Jiang's pawnshop can satisfy any of your wishes!" ”
"Can you grant any of our wishes?" The young man sitting next to the beautiful woman in the skirt interjected again.
"That's right, including eliminating the defects in your body that you have left behind due to the incomplete awakening of the X gene. Of course, only if you have a pawn item of sufficient value! ”
Speaking of this, Ellis realized that these two people were dressed like ordinary people, and they didn't seem to have any obvious flaws!
However, because of the absolute realm, he still didn't think much about it, after all, there were also some defects in the third-level mutants with powerful abilities, which would not be highlighted until they used their abilities or transformed.
Wolverine, for example, has its Erdman-infused claws (which isn't a flaw, Khan!). ), as well as the beasts with the second awakening (mutation) of the X gene in the body, are typical representatives of this category.
