Chapter VIII Markets

"I guess that's it. ā€

William looked understanding: "It's a pity, it's Franks, a big cadre in the Teutonic Cross." I think even this one is dispatched, so they should attach great importance to you, and the conditions offered to you are also very good. If I had such treatment, I would definitely agree to it. ā€

When Li Mochen heard this, he couldn't help but look at this friend with a strange look: "This is a gangster, do you want to join them? In the future, drug trafficking, collecting protection money, forcing good people to become prostitutes, and then being like those guys lying on the ground?"

In the realm of the Primordial Firmament, there are also things similar to heroin and methamphetamine, which make Li Mochen deeply evil.

"But more people have made a fortune. ā€

William shrugged: "If I can get an invitation from the Storm Angel or the Black Prison Skeleton like you, why not? Not every gang will sell drugs, just like the 'Storm Angel', they only make money by running various entertainment venues, sheltering the whole block." The Teutonic Cruciers were similar, they were more involved in the smuggling business. Amo, you should know that people like me who come from downtown China will have a hard time getting a good university if they don't get enough letters of recommendation. Even if we are lucky enough to be accepted into those prestigious schools, it is unlikely that we will get a scholarship. I don't want to be like my father in a repair shop or do odd jobs in a restaurant, tired like a dog every day, and I can't make a lot of money. In short, if I can't make a name for myself in comprehensive cold weapon fighting, and I can't get an offer from a top 50 school, then nine out of ten will go to gangsters in the future. ā€

Li Mochen couldn't help but be silent, he knew that this was a common situation in American society.

"Sometimes I really envy you, not only do you have good grades in all subjects, but you are also a sixteen-year-old third-level demonic martial artist. There aren't many schools like you, and I guess you'll be able to get into the Ivy League in the future, and there's really no need to be gangsters. ā€

William's expression was envious: "By the way, your family still has that house." If you sell it, it's also a lot of money. ā€

The house where Li Mochen lived before was taken back by the bank. But Li Mo's parents bought it many years ago, and most of the loan must have been repaid. The surplus of the loan repayment after the auction will still be returned to Li Mochen.

"There is no need to think about this, the court has failed to sell for the second time, and they have lowered the starting price again. ā€

Li Mochen shook his head: "Even if it is successfully sold, the small company run by my parents still has a large amount of debts to be repaid." And don't forget, I also have a sister. ā€

"How can this be?" William's face was full of disappointment that he couldn't hide,

Li Mochen didn't bother to mess with him, he suddenly quickened his pace and walked into a grocery store next to him

※※※※

Li Mochen is to prepare food, fruits, etc. for the next few days, and replenish some daily necessities by the way.

Where he lives now, not only is there no storage in the refrigerator, but there is not much toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap and so on.

This feeling of returning to life made him very novel, in the past, he could not eat for a year or two in the realm of the original firmament, and only relied on absorbing the heaven and earth primordial spirit to maintain the needs of his body, which is what the immortal family called 'food qi'. Then the body is clean and natural, even if it is contaminated, it can be burned with samadhi fire. But after borrowing and being reborn, he couldn't help but worry about his five internal organs.

The grocery store that Li Mochen entered was about fifty items in size, with shelves inside and on both sides, separated by a circle of counters outside.

But the goods inside seem to be dazzling, but in fact, the variety is limited. In addition to some daily necessities, Li Mochen only bought snacks such as biscuits and potato chips.

Then they walked more than 50 meters to the bakery and bought bread, cheese and butter and so on.

After that, there are fruit shops and fresh food stores, and fruits and vegetables are also indispensable.

By the time all these things were purchased, it was already half an hour later. Not only did Li Mochen hold a bunch of them in his hand, but William next to him also helped him carry a lot.

The latter sighed: "It's really not easy to live alone. ā€

He longs for independence from his home and has a place to live of his own, but looking at Li Mochen's appearance, he feels that this is very cumbersome.

Li Mochen looked helpless and said, "William, is there really no grocery store or bakery in our neighborhood?

"How could there be? If there was one in our neighborhood, you shouldn't have seen it a long time ago?"

William shrugged his shoulders, but then he thought that Li Mochen had been in their neighborhood for less than four months, and he usually either went to school or worked, so he explained: "Just think about it, who will open a shop there? It will be robbed by those poor and crazy homeless people, a magic weapon or a pistol, it is easy to get it." Even if you have a gun to defend yourself, you will be bankrupted by the gangs in your community. There are only blood fangs, and there is a possibility of black prison skeletons, but how can they have the heart to do this? Even if they open such a shop, they may be smashed by the enemy at any time. There are people who do some retail business in the community, but they only sell to acquaintances. Amo, did you live in the neighborhood where you used to live?"

He knew that Carlil Street, where Li Jian used to live, was a real rich neighborhood. There are a lot of patrols over there, a lot of powerful people, and even two former senators, so the law and order is very good, and no gang dares to make trouble there.

"There's—"

Li Mochen intently retrieved the memory of the original owner: "But it's still inconvenient, the grocery store over there is on the street, and the fruit store is at the end of the street, so it's better to go to this market street and buy it all at once." It would be nice to be able to buy all these things in one place. ā€

When he said this, his heart suddenly moved slightly, and he fell into contemplation.

When he was in the Primordial Dome Realm, the proudest thing in Li Mochen's life was not his achievements in cultivation, but his own talent and sense of smell in business.

Since he took over the Shenxiao Sect, the sect's income has increased year by year, tripling.

Although because of this, he was ridiculed by many cultivators in the Primordial Dome Realm as 'the immortal king who drilled into the eyes of money'. However, the scale of the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect has increased by a full fifty percent in these years. Then every core disciple went out, often carrying a large bag of talismans and pills, etc., and there was no need to worry about lack of materials. It has greatly reduced the casualties of Shenxiao Sect in slaying demons and demons in the past forty years, and has accumulated enough foundation to deal with the demon calamity.

William was puzzled: "Gather the things you want to buy together? Isn't that what Market Street looks like? There's no need, right?"

"But if it's not concentrated on one street, it's in a storefront? you can buy everything in one storefront, and it's located near our block, William, will you go and buy it?"

Li Mochen smiled and said, "Super Market! ā€
