Chapter 37: The Mysterious Shop on the Black Market
Ji Xun was surprised for a moment, did she ask herself?
Apparently so.
He was puzzled and alert, but he also responded, "Hmm. Ask casually. ”
Ji Xun confirmed that the two did not intersect.
In the city of innocence, any accosting from a stranger is not to be careless.
This woman's intuition is very sharp, as if she has seen through his thoughts, and she doesn't care at all, there is not even this bit of vigilance in the city of innocence, and the grave grass is already three meters high.
She said directly in an indifferent tone: "If you really need it, you can go to the 'Silver Star Mystery Shop' in the Black Market on Dark Rain Street to have a look." said that it was introduced by Dong Qi. ”
Ah, does she really know?
Ji Xun didn't know why this woman she didn't know was so kind to introduce him.
Purposeless?
It doesn't look like it.
That person from the Cao family?
Neither is it.
If you really want to recognize it, you must just shake people to do it, and there is no need to beat around the bush and make any traps.
Ji Xun didn't understand, and he didn't think it made sense to ask more.
"Thank you."
He responded politely and walked out of the store.
In fact, Ji Xun didn't know that the woman in leather didn't care at all about the casual help just now, and even her eyes didn't look at him much in those photos.
There is no other reason.
When she got out of the car before, she happened to see someone conjure a loaf of bread for a beggar brother and sister on the side of the road.
Not sure why.
But that picture just stayed in my heart.
And what she is doing now is the same, an unintentional act in one sentence is not a good idea at all.
It's rare to meet a guy who is pleasing to the eye.
......
Ji Xun, who walked out of the store, kept thinking about the scene just now.
He couldn't figure out why a stranger he didn't know would give him a hint.
Could it be the childcare of the Silver Star store?
People with that kind of top-notch mechanical equipment don't think so.
As he walked, the thought in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and he still planned to go and see.
What if there is?
"So there's a black market on Dark Rain Street?"
Ji Xun is a little square.
He thought he was visiting the black market in Innocence City.
After all, the whole city is a crime capital, and no market is a serious market.
But listening to the woman's words just now, it seems that there is a special black market in Innocence City?
Ji Xun naturally wanted to take a look.
Can... So where is Dark Rain Street?
......
Two hours later.
Ji Xun came to the intersection of the mud block and the copper building block in Beicheng.
According to the news from the previous inquiry, this should be "Dark Rain Street".
"It's hard to find..."
Ji Xun looked at the dark street in front of him and muttered.
He was not familiar with the city and did not have a map, so he finally tried his best to inquire in many ways and found this place.
There are no large factories near the muddy block, and when there are few people, a large number of ruins are retained, and there is a sense of magical dilapidation.
The street scene in the early morning and afternoon of the dungeon is no different, there are no street lights, and the nearby light is very dim, like dusk approaching night.
There was a pungent smell in the air, the exhaust fumes from the alchemy potion factories, which were usually in sparsely populated areas.
Ji Xun walked over, and the streets were full of rusty iron fences, and even residents rarely chose this kind of neighborhood where they needed to wear gas masks at all times.
Walking into the lighted depths, the streets became narrower and narrower, and the dim lights illuminated the low red brick houses that looked like haunted houses, and the alleys "hissed" white smoke everywhere, which were broken steam pipes... Decadent streetscapes everywhere.
As I walked, I suddenly heard the whistle of "Woo Woo Woo", as if an intercity train passed between the buildings, and a white fog emerged from the ground in front of me.
But there was no sign of the train.
Ji Xun walked over, the train was still twenty meters below, and it turned out that he was still on the covered bridge.
An underground market appeared in front of my eyes.
Various steel buildings have erected small houses, and there are shops.
There are far fewer pedestrians than the Hunter's Place on Gro Street, but far from being deserted, it's mysterious.
Ji Xun listened attentively, and actually heard the sound of rushing water.
If you look closely, there seems to be a raging underground river hidden in the foggy depths next to the market.
"There's a black market."
Ji Xun saw those shops, although the signboards were inconspicuous, like small workshops, but just this atmosphere gave people the feeling that there were good things here.
He looked around for a moment and walked over.
All kinds of card shops, machine shops, material shops, gun shops... It feels like a huge contraband market.
If you take a closer look, the things sold are also much wilder!
Ji Xun just glanced at it casually, and the samples hanging outside those mechanical shops were all kinds of military obsolete equipment that the hunters said were difficult to handle. The windows of those gun shops are casually filled with all kinds of exaggerated heavy firearms!
And what are the [Plague Bombs], [Distortion Bombs], [Annihilation Bombs]... This is not only dangerous to the enemy, but also to itself and the environment.
These are all contraband items that other shops won't sell, but the shops here are actually selling them on the bright side?
There are also apothecaries, all kinds of highly lethal furious potions, psychedelic potions, alchemy poisons...
Ji Xun was really eye-opening.
How to describe this feeling, ordinary shops outside sell goods like grenades, and here they sell missiles!
It turns out that the same is true of the City of Innocence, where the rules are never for everyone, but for ordinary people who are unable to exercise their privileges.
He suddenly had some anticipation.
It seems like you can really find something really good here.
"What a place..."
Ji Xun's eyes were hot, he wanted to buy anything here.
But looking at the price, the scorching heat was instantly poured with a basin of cold water.
Sure enough, it is a good thing, and it also has a shocking price.
.......
Ji Xun walked all the way, observing the surroundings all the way.
It's not just the shops that are special, but the customers who come and go are also mysterious.
Most of them cover their faces with trench coats and hats, or wear cloaks, and in short, few people show their true faces.
Ji Xun also walked on the street wearing a gas mask, inconspicuous.
Soon, he stopped.
When I turned my head, on the wooden board at the entrance of the shop in front of me, I casually wrote "Silver Star Mysterious Material Shop" with black charcoal.
If he hadn't looked closely, he would have almost missed it.
That's it?
It doesn't look too high-end.
Ji Xun glanced at the shop, and walked in with a skeptical attitude.
The house is very small, about a dozen square meters.
In the small shop, a few rows of cabinets occupy most of the room, and even the bones of unknown monsters hang from the ceiling.
But strangely, the store looked full, but it didn't put out almost anything that counted on it.
More like a grocery warehouse.
Behind the counter, a thin middle-aged man with glasses was concentrating on grinding a black powder that he didn't know what it was, ignoring the customer.
Ji Xun opened his mouth and asked, "Hello boss, do you have..."
But before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man directly interrupted him with a tone that rejected people thousands of miles away: "No." ”
Hey... That's not the right start.
Have a business not to do?
Ji Xun didn't know that the black market has the rules of the black market.
Almost every store here has its own secret supply channels and sales network, and the owner will not sell to strangers without acquaintances to guide them.
Ji Xun soon realized that he might not have asked the right way.
But he really didn't know the rules of the black market.
Thinking of the leather-clothed girl he had met before, he said uncertainly, "I am... Dong Qi introduced it. ”
"Dong... Seven? ”
Hearing him say this name directly, the corner of the eye-catching thin middle-aged man with glasses twitched inexplicably.
He put down the grinding mill in his hand and looked the guest up and down carefully.
There aren't many people who can call it by that name.
What is the origin of this man?
At the same time, Ji Xun was also looking at the shopkeeper, looking at the sudden gaze, and nodded: "Hmm." ”
His instincts told him that there might be something wrong with the name.
But he wasn't lying, that's what the man said.
.......
Hearing this, a strange color flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he obviously judged that this was true.
He didn't seem to understand who could call him "Dong Qi", but he also took the initiative to ask: "You... What did you just say? ”
"I want to ask if you have any breathing methods here..."
Seeing the change in the shopkeeper's attitude, Ji Xun also guessed that it might be that "Dong Qi"'s face worked.
Oh.
That's all there is to it.
Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper said very neatly: "The black iron breathing method is 180,000, I'll find you a name, don't pay attention to it." The silver breathing method is 1.5 million, and there are only three kinds of [Storm Breathing Method], [Thunder Secret Cultivation], and [Fire Breathing] in the store for the time being. As for what you want for the rest, you need to make a reservation, depending on the difficulty of obtaining the source, the price is calculated separately, and the delivery will be made within one month. ”
The tone is very casual, as if it is a very ordinary commodity.
“...”
Ji Xungang also suspected that this shop did not look like a serious shop, but at this moment, he was a little confused by the series of breathing names reported by the store.
Black Iron Breathing Method Random Roll Call?
And also
Violent... Storm breathing?
The "Great Sword" Bernie I had only heard in the morning swore that the [Storm Breathing Method] was the secret of their Storm Hunter Regiment. Can you sell it casually?
Is it a duplicate name?
Ji Xun thought about it and felt that it was not.
There are only a few silver breathing methods on the market that can be named, and they should not be the same name.
It turned out that it wasn't that I couldn't buy it, but that I didn't find the right way.
And listening to the guy's second half of the sentence, it seems that other breaths can be booked?
The tone seemed to mean that almost everything the guest wanted, he could get it. And the way to get it is not a formal way to hear it.
, is the road so wild!
What is the origin of this shop?
Sometimes, when the perception is suddenly refreshed, it always makes people feel unreal.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Ji Xun's mind for a moment.
He glanced at the inconspicuous shop again, and a thought instinctively popped up in his heart: Is there some kind of liar painting a big pie in front of him?
Think about the street outside, it's a black market.
Dark shop?
.......
Ji Xun remained silent, thinking that he didn't seem to have anything worth deceiving, and some thoughts popped up in his mind: Or, inspect the goods a priori and see this guy's strength?
The shopkeeper looked at his demeanor and took the initiative to ask: "Nothing you like?" ”
He preconceived that the person who introduced him naturally didn't want any ordinary goods, and said, "If it's a rarer breathing method, it may be a little troublesome." ”
Rarer?
The legendary golden breathing method?
Or is it just... It's a bit of a hassle.
It's not impossible!
Ji Xun listened and refreshed his impression of the shopkeeper in front of him again.
He remained silent and directly said his needs: "Hmm... I needed a breathing technique that could absorb multiple elements at the same time. ”
If it was still a single-element breathing method, not to mention whether he could afford it or not, even if it was a silver secret method, he felt a little chicken.
And if the shopkeeper is really unreliable, he also wants to see what kind of tricks this guy can blow.
“???”
When the shopkeeper heard Ji Xun's demand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately put away his contempt.
Sure enough... He wasn't an ordinary person.
For those who need that kind of secret method, the career sequence must be very special.
He didn't mean to pry into the privacy of the guests, which is taboo in the black market, and after pondering for a moment, he said directly: "The kind of breathing method you said also has..."
When Ji Xun heard this, he looked sideways slightly: Is there really one?
The shopkeeper added, "I happen to have a remnant of the breathing method here, and I don't know what it's called." But this breathing method can absorb at least seven or more elements... It's just that the price is slightly expensive. ”
As he spoke, he pulled out three fingers.
Ji Xun asked tentatively, "Three million?" ”
can make this shopkeeper say that it is slightly expensive, naturally not 30,000, 300,000.
As soon as he heard the price, he instantly felt unreliable.
The silver breathing method is only more than 100, what kind of breathing method do you have more than 300?
Still nameless breathing?
The more mysterious it is, the less credible it is.
The shopkeeper was noncommittal, a flash of brightness flashed in his eyes, and he just said, "The result of the appraiser is that this may be a gold-quality breathing method, and its source is even related to the old demon gods. Although there are only fragments, if you cultivate to six levels of mana, theoretically speaking, the mana value is equivalent to the average person's nine stages. So this price is definitely not high. It's up to the person who introduced you, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it to Ben. ”
“...”
Although Ji Xun was suspicious when he listened, his expression did not change at all.
I can't come up with this huge amount of money, and I'm not ready to believe it so easily.
didn't wait for Ji Xun to suspect that the other party was a liar, but he didn't want the shopkeeper to turn over his hand, and he directly took out a booklet.
He said again: "And don't blame the old man for saying more, the source of this secret method is very sensitive, you should know who it is." So even if someone learns, it's best not to let outsiders know. ”
“...”
Ji Xun knows a fart!
He also guessed that he probably thought that he really knew "Dong Qi", and then he should know some corresponding level of common sense.
But looking at the booklet handed over to me for inspection, I also realized that this store is not joking!
Ji Xun calmly took the booklet and turned the page at random, his pupils shrank slightly.
He was now proficient in the [Great Darkness Breathing Method] and probably knew the principle of the Breathing Method.
He has a high level of understanding, so he can see at a glance that this booklet is definitely not fake!
The breathing cultivation mantra recorded above is most likely a secret method that can absorb multiple elements at the same time to condense mana.
"It's true?"
Ji Xun was really surprised at this time.
He thought that the other party really wanted to make up such a set of breathing methods in order to deceive people, and that liar was definitely a master in the practice of exercises!
Now it's so generous and directly handed it out,
Ji Xun already has ninety percent belief in his heart at this moment.
Thus... Not only now, but what the store just said is true!
At the same time, he gasped in his heart.
Hiss~
What is the origin of this store, so much energy?
Who is this "Dong Qi", with such a big face?
It must be some big man in the City of Innocence.
Ji Xun thought of the leather-clothed girl he met in the classic book shop before, as if he had a good fate for no reason?
I have a bad luck gambler's aura, and I think nine out of ten is a scam, you give me this pie from the sky?
Ji Xun was also puzzled, isn't this store afraid that he will know a name, so he will come to deceive?
He really didn't know that there were some people's names that no one dared to mention on the black market.
Otherwise, the consequences will be severe.
.......
After turning two pages, Ji Xun closed it.
Although he had the ability to remember, if the shopkeeper didn't mind him flipping through it more and couldn't see that little bit of care, he had the cheekiness to read it carefully and maybe be able to write it down.
But Ji Xun didn't want to take advantage of others in this regard at all.
People treat you sincerely, how can there be hypocrisy in return.
Ji Xun can see this secret method, all of which is to save the face of "Dong Qi". If you really be a gentleman on the beam, you will fall behind.
But it's really shy.
At this moment, he did not question the high price of "three million" at all.
On the contrary, he felt that it was lower than the market price!
The [Storm Breathing Method] shopkeeper's price is only 1.5 million, although this is the market price, but it can't be sold, and it should be more expensive in theory.
Looking at it this way, this golden fragment is definitely a human price.
And this breathing method is absolutely priceless for those who are suitable.
Ji Xun can already imagine the N-fold increase in the efficiency of his breathing method...
But he really doesn't have any money.
The only thing he has on him is the previous Blackwater Mercenary Group cards, but he estimated that he would probably be able to sell them for hundreds of thousands.
It's a good thing that [Gambling Dog's Secondary Alienation Heart] is a good thing, but these things will reveal their identities when they are taken out!
Ji Xun was in a dilemma for a while.
The shopkeeper looked at his demeanor, and he couldn't figure out what the customer who introduced him was thinking.
Ji Xun was thinking about how to raise money, or whether to take the risk of selling something, when suddenly his expression changed slightly.
Enlightenment: "Mystic Technique Exemption"
He immediately realized that someone had just used a mystical technique like divination.
I'm being targeted!
