Cataclysm King

Chapter 37 The Mysterious Store in the Black Market

Ji Xun was surprised for a moment, was she asking herself?
Apparently it is.

He was very puzzled and alert, but he also responded: "Well, just ask casually."

Ji Xun confirmed that the two did not meet.

In the city of innocence, any approach from a stranger should not be taken lightly.

This woman had a keen intuition, as if she had seen through his thoughts, and she didn't care at all.

In the city of innocence, there is no such vigilance, and the grass on the grave has already been three meters high.

She said directly with an indifferent tone: "If you really need it, you can go to the 'Silver Star Mysterious Shop' in the black market on Dark Rain Street. Let me just say it was introduced by Dong Qi."

Ah, does she really know?
Ji Xun didn't know why this unknown woman would introduce him so kindly.

Have a purpose?

It doesn't look like it.

The fourth young master of the Cao family?

Nor is it.

If you really want to recognize it, you must directly shake people's hands, and there is no need to beat around the bush and set up some traps.

Ji Xun couldn't figure it out, and didn't think it was meaningful to ask more.

"Thank you."

He responded politely and walked out of the shop directly.

The woman in leather didn't care at all, and didn't even look up at the photos in those ancient books.

Ji Xun, who walked out of the shop, kept thinking about the scene just now.

He still couldn't figure out why a stranger would give him a hint.

Could it be the babysitter of the Silver Star store?

People with that kind of top-level mechanical equipment can't do it.

As he walked, the thought in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he still planned to take a look.

What if?
"So why is there a black market in Dark Rain Street?"

Ji Xun is a bit square.

He thought he was shopping in the black market of Innocence City.

After all, the whole city is a crime capital, and any market is not a serious market.

But from what the woman said just now, there seems to be a special black market in Innocence City?

Ji Xun naturally wanted to go and see.

But, where is Dark Rain Street?

two hours later.

Ji Xun came to the intersection of Lanni Street and Tonglou Street in Beicheng.

According to the information I inquired before, this place should be "Dark Rain Street".

“It's really hard to find”

Looking at the dark street in front of him, Ji Xun muttered.

He is not familiar with the city and has no map, so he finally found this place after trying his best to inquire about it.

There are no large factories near Mud Street. When there are few people, the original appearance of a large number of ruins is preserved, with a sense of magical dilapidation.

There is no difference between the morning and afternoon street scenes in the dungeon. There are no street lights, and the surrounding light is very dark, like dusk approaching night.

There is a pungent smell in the air. It is the exhaust gas from the alchemy factory. This kind of heavily polluting factory is usually located in a place with few people.

Ji Xun walked over, and there were rusty iron fences everywhere on the street, and even the residents rarely chose this kind of neighborhood where they needed to wear gas masks all the time.

Walking all the way to the depths with lights, the streets become narrower and narrower, and the dim lights illuminate low red brick houses that look like haunted houses. White smoke is "hissing" everywhere in the alleys. It's the broken steam pipes and the decadent streetscape everywhere.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard the whistle of "Woo, woo, woo", as if an intercity train passed between the buildings, and a white mist emerged from the ground in front of my eyes.

But did not see the shadow of the train.

Ji Xun walked over, and the train was still 20 meters below, so he was still on the covered bridge.

There is an underground market in front of you.

A variety of steel structure buildings have erected small houses, where there are shops.

The number of pedestrians here is much less than that of Hunter Square on Gro Street, but instead of making people feel deserted, it is full of mystery.

Ji Xun listened attentively, and he heard the sound of rushing water.

If you look closely, there seems to be a raging underground river hidden in the dense fog beside the market.

"There really is a black market."

When Ji Xun saw those shops, although the signs were inconspicuous, like small workshops, the atmosphere alone gave people a feeling that there were good things here.

He looked around and walked over.

All kinds of card shops, machinery shops, material shops, and gun shops give people the feeling that this is a huge contraband market.

Take a closer look, the things sold are much wilder!
Ji Xun just glanced at it casually, and the samples hanging outside those machine shops were all kinds of obsolete military equipment that the hunters said were difficult to obtain.Those displayed in the window of the gun shop are all kinds of heavy guns with exaggerated shapes!
There are also things like [Plague Bomb], [Distortion Bomb], and [Annihilation Bomb]. These are not only dangerous to the enemy, but also highly polluting banned ammunition to themselves and the environment.

These are contraband items that other shops will not sell, but this shop here sells them on the bright side?

There are also all kinds of highly deadly violent potions, psychedelic potions, and alchemy poisons in the potion shop.
Ji Xun really opened his eyes.

How can I describe this feeling? The goods sold in ordinary shops outside are like grenades, but missiles are sold here!

It turns out that the same is true for Innocence City. The rules are never for everyone, but for ordinary people who cannot exercise their privileges.

He suddenly looked forward to it.

Seems like there's really good stuff to be found here.

"Good place."

Ji Xun looked eagerly, he wanted to get anything here.

But looking at the price, the scorching heat was instantly splashed with cold water.

Sure enough, good things also have a shocking price.

Ji Xun walked all the way, observing the surroundings all the way.

Not only is the store very special, but the customers coming and going are also very mysterious.

Most of them were covered with windbreakers and hats, or wore cloaks. In short, few people showed their true colors.

Ji Xun also walked on the street wearing a gas mask, inconspicuous.

Soon, he stopped.

Turning his head, he saw a small shop with "Silver Star Mysterious Material Shop" written on the wooden board at the door of the shop in front of him in black charcoal.

If he hadn't looked carefully, he would have almost missed it.

That's it?

It doesn't look like it's too high-end.

Ji Xun took a look at the shop and walked in suspiciously.

The room is very small, about a dozen square meters.

In the already small shop, several rows of cabinets took up most of the room, and even the bones of unknown monsters hung from the ceiling.

But the strange thing is that the store looks full, but there is almost nothing on display that counts as merchandise.

More like a grocery warehouse.

And behind the counter, a thin middle-aged man wearing glasses was concentrating on grinding an unknown black powder, ignoring the customer who came to the store at all.

Ji Xun asked: "Hi boss, may I ask if you have any?"

But before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man interrupted him with a tone of refusal: "No."

Huh. This is the wrong beginning.

Do you have business?
Ji Xun didn't know that the black market had rules.

Almost every store here has its own secret supply channels and sales network. Without acquaintances to guide the way, the owner will never sell products to strangers.

Ji Xun soon realized that he might not have asked the right question.

But he really didn't know the rules of the black market.

Thinking of the leather-clothed woman he had met before, he said uncertainly, "I was introduced by Dong Qi."

"Dong Qi?"

Hearing him say the name directly, the eyes of the skinny middle-aged man with glasses twitched inexplicably.

He put down the grinding mill in his hand, and carefully looked up and down the guest in front of him.

There are not many people who can call this name directly.

What's the origin of this man?
At the same time, Ji Xun was also looking at the shopkeeper, seeing the sudden gaze, nodded: "Yes."

Intuition told him that there might be something wrong with the name.

But he wasn't lying, that's what the man said.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes flashed a strange look, and he obviously judged that the words were true.

He didn't seem to understand who could call "Dong Qi" directly, but he also took the initiative to ask: "What did you say you want?"

"I want to ask if you have breathing techniques here"

Seeing the shopkeeper's change of attitude, Ji Xun also guessed that the face of "Dong Qi" might have helped.

Oh.

That's what happened.

Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper said very neatly: "Black Iron Breathing Method is 18 yuan. I'll find it for you if you name it. It doesn't matter. Silver Breathing Method is 150 million yuan. For the time being, there are only [Storm Breathing Method], [Thunder Breathing Method] and [Thunder Breathing Method]. There are three types: Secret Cultivation] and [Breath of Fire]. As for the other ones you want, you need to make a reservation, depending on the difficulty of obtaining the goods, the price will be calculated separately, and the delivery will be within one month."

The tone is very casual, as if it is a very common commodity.

"."

Ji Xungang also suspected that this shop was not a serious shop, but at the moment he was a little confused by the series of breathing method names reported by the shopkeeper.

The black iron breathing method casually rolls names?
and also,

Storm. Storm breathing method?
The "Big Sword" Bernie I just heard in the morning said swearingly that [Storm Breathing Method] is the secret of their Storm Hunters.Can it be sold at your place?
Is it the same name?
Ji Xun thinks about it and thinks not.

There are only a few named silver breathing methods on the market, and it 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 last half sentence, it seems that other breaths can be scheduled?
The tone seemed to be that whatever the guest wanted, he could almost have the means to get it.And the way to get it, it sounds like it is not a formal way.

Damn, is the way so wild!

What is the origin of this shop?
Sometimes, cognition is suddenly refreshed, which always makes people feel unreal.

Various thoughts flashed through Ji Xun's mind for a moment.

He looked at this unremarkable shop again from the corner of his eye, and a thought came to him instinctively: Is there some kind of liar in front of him?
Think about a street outside, this is a black market.

Black shop?

Ji Xun remained calm, thinking that he didn't seem to have anything to lie to, and some thoughts came to his mind: How about inspecting the product first to see how strong this guy is?

Seeing his demeanor, the shopkeeper took the initiative to ask: "No one you like?"

He preconceived that the person who introduced him naturally didn't want any ordinary goods, and said, "If it is a rarer breathing method, it may be a little troublesome."

rarer?

The legendary golden breathing method?
It's just...a bit of a hassle.

It's not impossible!
It sounds like Ji Xun has refreshed his impression of the shopkeeper in front of him again.

He remained calm and directly stated his needs: "Well, I need a breathing method that can absorb multiple elements at the same time."

If it is still a single-element breathing method, not to mention whether it is affordable or not, even if it is the silver secret method, he still thinks it is a bit tasteless.

And if this shopkeeper is really unreliable, he also wants to see what kind of tricks this guy can play.

"???"

When the owner heard Ji Xun's request, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately put away his contempt.

Sure enough. The person who introduced me is not an ordinary person.

Those who need that kind of secret method must have a special occupation sequence.

He didn't mean to pry into the privacy of the guests, which is a big taboo in the black market. After a moment of contemplation, he said directly: "The breathing method you mentioned also exists."

When Ji Xun heard it, he looked slightly sideways: Really?

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 elements. It's just a little expensive."

As he spoke, he took out three fingers.

Ji Xun tentatively asked, "300 million?"

Even the owner of the shop can say that it is a little expensive, so it's not 30, [-].

Hearing the price, he instantly felt unreliable.

The breathing method of silver is only more than 100, what kind of breathing method is more than 300?
Also nameless breathing method?

The more mysterious it is, the lower its credibility.

The shopkeeper was noncommittal, with a look of ruthlessness flashing across 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 god. Although there are only fragments , but after cultivating to the sixth stage of mana power, theoretically speaking, the value of mana power is equivalent to that of ordinary people at the ninth stage. So the price is definitely not high. This is still for the sake of the person who introduced you, otherwise I will not mention it at all. "

"."

Although Ji Xun was suspicious, his expression didn't change.

I couldn't afford this huge sum of money, and I wasn't prepared to believe it so easily.

Before Ji Xun suspected that the other party was a liar, the shopkeeper turned his hand over and took out a booklet.

He added: "And don't blame the old man for talking too much. The source of this secret method is very sensitive. You should know who it is. So even if someone learns it, it's best not to let outsiders know."

"."

Ji Xun knows what a fart!

He also guessed that he probably thought that he really knew "Dong Qi", and then he should know some common sense of the corresponding level.

But looking at the brochure handed over to me for inspection, I realized that this store is not joking!

Ji Xun took the booklet calmly, flipped a page at random, his pupils shrank slightly.

He is now proficient in [Darkness Breathing Method], and probably knows the principle of breathing method.

He has a high level of comprehension, so he can tell at a glance that this booklet is absolutely true!

The breathing practice formula recorded above is most likely to be a secret method that can absorb multiple elements at the same time to condense mana power.

"It turned out to be true?"

Ji Xun was really surprised at this moment.

He thought that the other party really wanted to make up such a set of breathing methods to deceive people, that liar is definitely a master in the practice of exercises!

Now it is so magnanimous to hand it out directly,

At this moment, Ji Xun already has [-]% confidence in his heart.

It can be seen that not only now, but also what the store said just now is true!

At the same time, he took a deep breath.

hiss~
What is the origin of this shop, so powerful?
Who is this "Dong Qi" with such a big face?
It must be someone important in Innocence City.

Ji Xun thought of the leather-clothed woman he met in the classic book shop before, as if he had a good fate for no reason?
I'm such an unlucky gambler, I thought [-]% of it was a scam, you give me this pie from heaven?
At the same time, Ji Xun was also very puzzled. Isn't this store afraid that he knows the name, so he comes to bluff?
He really didn't know that no one dared to mention some people's names on the black market.

Otherwise, the consequences will be serious.

After turning two pages of the booklet, Ji Xun closed it.

Although he has the ability of photographic memory, if the store owner doesn't mind him looking through it more, and he can't see the little thought, he has the cheek to read it carefully, and maybe he can write it down.

But Ji Xun didn't want to take advantage of others in this regard.

People treat you sincerely, how can there be hypocrisy in return.

Ji Xun was able to see this secret method because of the face of "Dong Qi".If you are really a gentleman, you will fall behind.

But really cash-strapped.

At this moment, he did not doubt that the price of "300 million" was too high.

On the contrary, he felt that it was lower than the market price!

The [Storm Breathing Method] shopkeeper's asking price is only 150 million. Although this is the market price, if it cannot be sold, 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 fit it.

Ji Xun can already imagine that the efficiency of his breathing method has increased by N times.
But he really has no money.

The only valuable thing on his body is the previous Blackwater Mercenary Group card, but he estimated that it can probably be sold for hundreds of thousands.

On the contrary, [Gambling Dog's Secondary Alienated Heart] is a good thing, but taking these things out will reveal your identity!
Ji Xun was in a dilemma for a while.

The storekeeper looked at his expression, and couldn't figure out what the person who introduced the guest was thinking.

When Ji Xun was thinking about how to raise money, or whether to risk selling some things, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

Enlightenment reveals: "Mysterious spell immunity"

He immediately realized that someone had just used a mysterious technique like divination.

You are being watched!
