Chapter 10: A Little Pit

"I'm the owner of Jiang's pawnshop, Ellis Jiang, you can call me Boss Jiang or Ellis!"

Ellis handed Samuel a cup of freshly brewed coffee, sat down on the couch across from him, and introduced himself before asking, "What do you want to pawn, can you show me first?" ”

"I heard that you can fulfill all the wishes of your customers as long as you have a pawn with a high enough value?"

After taking a sip of coffee, Samuel didn't take out the Patek Philippe watch he had prepared earlier, but went straight to the point.

The reason why he did this is also very simple.

It was the job posting hanging in front of the door, which revealed that Ellis, the owner of Jiang's pawn shop, knew many secrets that the public did not know now.

Coupled with Will's confession, after the two corroborations, Jiang's pawnshop seemed a little mysterious, so he changed his strategy and simply went straight to the point to see if Ellis really had some kind of mysterious power.

"Did you see my little ad?"

Ellis didn't think much of Samuel's questioning, thinking that the other party was attracted by those small advertisements he sent out yesterday.

However, when he saw Samuel flustered for a moment, he knew that this was not the case, but he didn't care, and after waving his hand to show that it didn't matter, he continued: "Forget it, none of this matters, what matters is what wishes you want to fulfill, and what do you plan to pawn?" ”

Caught off guard by Ellis's unreasonable questioning, Samuel was still thinking about what little ads he had sent and how he would answer them to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, Ellis took the initiative to skip this question and return to the topic, so he pondered for a moment, and after referring to what Will said, he deliberately made a mistake: "I want to pawn my soul and resurrect my deceased father, I wonder if your store can fulfill this wish of mine?" ”

"Resurrection of the dead?"

After listening to Samuel's request, Ellis was just sluggish, and knew that he either really missed his dad and went crazy, or he had bad intentions, and nine times out of ten he came to find fault!

However, Ellis did not turn his face, let alone make any untimely moves, after all, no matter what Samuel came to trade with him, after all, he was now a prospective customer of the pawnshop.

If he can really pawn something, it is also the God of Wealth who gives himself some profits!

Unfortunately, Ellis used the pawnshop system to check the profile of his father, William Samuel.

Using identification, it was determined that Samuel's soul was just an ordinary F-rank with no increase, and that he had only thirty-one years left to live, and he did not think that he had enough pawns to resurrect his father.

Because to resurrect a person who has long since died, it is necessary to retrieve the soul of the deceased through the pawnshop system and reshape the body to give him life.

But in the world of Marvel, where technology and mythology coexist, after death, people either go to heaven or hell, or dissipate directly, otherwise they are particularly fierce in life, and they can escape the receivers of heaven and hell after death, and cultivate what is called ghost cultivation under the oriental system.

In other words, William, the father who resurrected Samuel, would have to 'retrieve' his soul from heaven or hell, and if William's soul dissipated directly, it would be even more troublesome!

But in either case, Samuel can't do it with a mere 131 percent of profits.

"Mr. Samuel, it is true that our shop can resurrect your father William Samuel, who has been dead for three years, but you don't seem to have enough valuable pawns, so I advise you to change your wish according to the pawns you have!"

"How did you know my name and my father's, and how did you know that my father had been dead for three years?"

When Samuel heard Ellis say his name and that of his father, he got up from the couch and looked at Ellis in surprise and horror as he was pouring himself his coffee.

You know, Samuel's attempt to resurrect his father to test Ellis was also a temporary idea that had just germinated.

And he didn't tell Ellis anything, about his father!

But Ellis actually said his father's name and the time of his death in one mouth, how could such a character not make him afraid and surprised!

"Mr. Samuel, you don't have to be nervous, I have no ill will towards you."

Ellis put down the coffee in his hand and motioned for him to sit down again before explaining, "I took the initiative to find out about your father's situation, just to gauge whether you have a pawn of sufficient value, and I didn't mean to offend you!" ”

Fortunately, Samuel has been with Councillor Freeman for decades, and he has seen a lot of non-human beings, and Ellis has always been smiling and unassuming.

So after listening to Ellis's explanation, he took a deep breath and drank all the coffee in front of him before he calmed down.

Well...... at least the expression on his face calmed down a lot!

"Mr. Samuel, don't you know that you have other wishes besides resurrecting your dead father?" After Samuel's mood calmed down a little, Ellis asked.

After all, Samuel was the first to take the initiative to come to the door to consult a potential customer for the pawnshop business, and Ellis didn't want to let go of the deal easily.

"Boss Jiang, I'm in front of the store, and I see that your recruitment is marked with mutants and non-humans, so I can apply for jobs from you, right?" I didn't know what Samuel was thinking, and waited for a while before he spoke again.

"That's right!" Although it was unclear what Samuel's idea was, Ellis was positive about his problem.

"Do you know the mutant race?"

"Of course!"

"Then can I pawn my soul in exchange for a superpower, but I won't mutate because of it, and still remain human?"

After Ellis's performance just now, Samuel's suspicion of him, although it has not completely dissipated, has been a little shaken, so the request made this time is unconsciously biased towards the aspect that can make him profitable.

"Of course, Mr. Samuel, do you have anything more to ask than to remain human!"

Considering that the value of superpowers is much lower than that of the same soul, Samuel's F-level soul can be exchanged for D-level superpowers at the highest price, so Ellis accepted his request again.

As for Samuel's desire to maintain his human form, that doesn't matter to the pawnshop system!

It's not just mutants in this world who have superpowers, anyway, he didn't make specific requests, as long as he is given a superpower that doesn't have X genes, isn't it ok!

Of course, Ellis couldn't be generous enough to give him a D-class superpower worth 100 points of profit.

Otherwise, Ellis's order would be in vain!

"It's gone!" Samuel thought for a moment before nodding to Ellis.

"Mr. Samuel, if you have no other questions, please sign your name on this contract of pawning souls!"

After making sure that Samuel had no other requirements, Ellis handed a pawn deed that appeared out of thin air in his hand to Samuel, who was sitting across from him and was stunned when he saw this scene.

…………

After Samuel signed the pawn contract and completed the soul pawn, in exchange for an E-class flame superpower, he left the Jiang pawnshop with excitement and incredulity.

Ellis, who was sitting on the couch, watched the profit point at the back of the pawnshop system level become 70/100, and said to himself:

"I don't know what kind of expression Samuel will have when Samuel discovers his ability, in addition to having a certain chance of immunity to ordinary flames, the flames he makes by himself can only be grilled and lit cigarettes, and he will introduce customers to me!"
