About the brave man who became a thousand-year-old potato and ended up destroying the world

"Yes, yes," Yayin was not ambiguous and nodded directly in agreement.

After all, they really don't care about the ticket price now.

After receiving Yayin's promise, the man was overjoyed for a moment, quickly greeted the two of them, and walked towards the alley and depths.

The two of them took a long detour between tall buildings and low houses.

The further you go in, the more ancient and primitive the surrounding scenery becomes. Various low adobe houses are scattered everywhere, and clothes are hung crookedly on the clotheslines that have been pulled up randomly.

On both sides of the road, among the houses, you can vaguely see hungry and thin residents struggling to survive.

All of this is in sharp contrast to the prosperous area before.

The contrast was so great that Liu Ji immediately thought of a word.

Cyberpunk.

Especially the cyberpunk Metropolis plot.

He suddenly realized that this city might not be as simple as he had imagined when he first arrived.

After following the thin man through the doors of dozens of dilapidated stone houses, the man finally stopped in front of the door of a stone house that looked like some kind of sealed warehouse.

The man signaled Liu Ji and the others to wait, and then knocked on the door rhythmically six times.

After a while, the door opened.

A bearded dwarf opened the door.

As soon as he saw the face of the man standing at the door, his expression visibly changed from calm to angry.

"Good boy! How dare you come here on your own!?" the dwarf yelled, "It seems that my brothers are not afraid of being beaten by you, are they?"

"Ah no no no! Brother Hao! That's not the case! I came here with money this time!" The man quickly waved his hand to deny.

"Bringing money? That's bullshit! You kid doesn't do anything all day long, where do you get the spare money!" The dwarf still didn't seem to believe every word the man said.

When he said this, the corner of his eye finally glanced at Liu Ji and others waiting behind.

"Wait? Why did you bring so many foreigners here!?" The dwarf frowned.

"Ah, him, they said they were coming to find you, so I brought them here," the man defended, "and they don't look like people from the military...

The dwarf looked at the man, sighed briefly, pushed him aside, and said, "I'll settle the score with you later."

After that, he walked straight to Yuan and asked: "Hello, foreign guests, I wonder if you came to my place to buy something?"

160. Three-in-one good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost, and the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant.

Liu Ji felt a little embarrassed. It was clear that among the three people present, only Yayin could speak Common Language and could communicate with the people here. But looking at the dwarf's eyes, he always wondered whether Liu Ji and Yuan looked down on him, so they sent such a little man. The girl came out and spoke to him.

But after seeing what Ya Yin took out, his expression changed.

It was a bag of gold, not an alloy like gold coins, but pure pure gold.

The dwarf and the skinny man standing aside looked straight in the eye.

"How much does that guy owe you?" Ya Yin asked.

"Ah...ah! Not much, only three thousand kaga," the dwarf immediately put on a bright smile, "Well, if converted into gold, it's only about ten grams?"

"Nonsense, five grams at most. How can the price of gold be so low now..." the man on the side muttered.

The dwarf immediately glared and clenched his right fist fiercely, making the man shrink back in fear.

"Okay, it doesn't matter whether you have five or ten grams." Yayin casually grabbed a small amount of gold particles and put them on the table. "Here are these for you. Pay off his debt, and the rest will be used as a meeting gift."

"Hey! Okay! Okay!" The dwarf's eyes lit up, he quickly found a small wooden box, took out a knife, carefully put the handful of gold particles on the knife, and then poured it into the wooden box.

This handful of gold grains probably weighed more than ten or twenty grams, which was a lot of money.

This "meeting gift" alone was enough to keep him from opening for several days.

While he was enjoying himself, the man on the side came up and said flatteringly: "Well, Brother Hao, look at the fact that I have brought you such a large number of customers. Are you..."

The dwarf raised his eyebrows and was about to curse the man, but after taking a look at Liu Ji and the others, he held back.

Although these bosses didn't seem to care much about this boy, it was this boy who brought them here after all. If they showed off to this boy, it would seem somewhat disrespectful to the distinguished guests.

"Wait," he poked the man in the chest, turned around and entered the house.

Not long after, he took out a pack of red crystals and walked out, throwing them to the man.

When the latter saw this, he was immediately happy. After thanking him repeatedly, he turned around, smiled at Liu Ji and others, said hello, and ran away.

Looking at his leaving figure, Liu Ji frowned slightly.

It seems to be a really poisonous insect.

But looking at the environment of this place, it’s not surprising.

The more this kind of place is extremely divided between rich and poor, the more prosperous this thing is.

And if, as Ya Yin said, the military is involved behind the black market, there is no guarantee that there will be high-level participation in this business.

After sending the man away, the dwarf looked at everyone again, rubbed his hands, put on a flattering face of the same style, and asked with a smile: "Well, bosses, I don't know why you found me through this guy. Woolen cloth?"

"We want to go to the black market," Yayin folded her arms and said calmly, "Since you have that kind of goods, you should know the way around it, right?"

"Ah, that's it," the dwarf nodded, "But, what should I say? Did the distinguished guests come from other places before?"

"Well," Yayin nodded slightly, "What? Is there anything against the rules?"

"No, no, that's it," the dwarf explained, "The black market here, which is said to be a black market, actually does not have a clear location and circle. The black goods we get are distributed layer by layer by the big guys above. Those who came down, I know some people in our circle, and some small gatherings of people in the circle can be regarded as markets for the time being, but if the bosses want to find a black market base like other cities, we don't have it here."

"This type, that's fine," Yayin shrugged indifferently, "We are here to do business anyway, we don't care what your market is like."

"Ah, that's easy to say," the dwarf rubbed his hands, "Well, I wonder what kind of business your distinguished guests want to do."

"I want to know what kind of business we do. Are you sure you can afford it?" Yayin asked calmly.

"Well, although I may not be able to eat it, we are not afraid of trouble," the dwarf said with a smile, "Just tell me that you can't eat it, and we will naturally take you to find someone who can."

"You are quite courageous. I hope you can eat as much as you said," Ya Yin said, waving her hand at Liu Ji.

Liu Ji understood, took the long wooden box he was carrying on his back and put it on the table.

"What is this?" asked the dwarf.

"If you dare to interfere, just open it and take a look," Yayin said.

"It's better not to do our business if you're timid," the dwarf grinned and opened the box without hesitation.

Then after seeing the content inside, he was stunned for a moment.

"Sword?" He blinked, "This is just a heavy sword? It seems to be quite high-end, but is there anything special about it?"

"Well, I don't know you, that's good," Yayin nodded, "In this case, it also proves that you are not suitable to get involved in this matter. If you don't know me, you can just pretend that you haven't seen it, or Take me to meet the person above you."

The dwarf looked at the sword and then at Ya Yin. He hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and asked, "Well, can you give me some tips?"

"I said, I don't recommend that you continue to interfere," Yayin frowned, "Don't ask too much about things you shouldn't know. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

The dwarf opened his mouth and looked at the heavy sword again.

He saw Yayin's generous spending, and his intuition told him that this was a very big deal.

He doesn't want to let go.

Nobody wants to.

There is no one in their circle who regards wealth as life.

He is not stupid, he can see that this heavy sword means something very important, and even as long as he sees it, he should understand what this business represents.

But he had no clue at all.

He doesn't know now whether this means that he really has no ability to get involved in this matter. After all, in the eyes of the other party, he should be the lowest-end businessman, but in fact this is not the case. He is responsible for all the business in this area. The direct reports above are already in contact with the big brother at this level.

There are only a handful of businesses that people at his level dare not take part in, and most big businesses of that level will be rumored before they appear.

As for the business in front of him, he had not received any information before. It did not look like a huge business, but it was more likely that he had not received relevant information.

Seeing the dwarf staring at the heavy sword without saying a word for a long time, Yayin sighed.

Although most people who have had certain experiences know that the military and the black market have always been related, it does not mean that they will admit it openly.

After all, in order to maintain the ruling order, they must have a confrontational relationship with these underground industries.

Their business is destined to be transferred to the hands of the military. If the person handling it does not have enough status, there is a high possibility that he will get involved and eventually be silenced by the military.

But it's hard to persuade the devil with good words. Some people are like this. If you don't slap the southern wall on their forehead, they don't know what it means to retreat in spite of difficulties.

"Okay, let me give you some tips," Yayin said, "You should know that there is a war going on up there, right?"

Upon hearing this, the dwarf was immediately startled and asked in astonishment: "This... you got this from the military? This is during war? Are you willing to die?"

"No, on the contrary," Yayin raised her eyes and said, "This was obtained from another party."

The dwarf immediately choked for breath. He looked at Yayin in surprise and did not say a word for a long time.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the sword comes from the military or from the opposite side.

As long as it involves military armament, he already understands how big the business is.

but……

"Shouldn't you sell this kind of thing to the military?" the dwarf asked.

"Yes, that's right," Yayin said calmly, "What we are looking for is the military."

The dwarf was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something. His eyes suddenly widened, and he closed the wooden box with a snap.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and the empty room only echoed with the rapid heartbeat of the dwarf.

After a long silence, he pushed the box back, sighed, and said: "Okay, I didn't see anything. I will introduce your business to the people above me, but I need some time and Contact me above, can you leave me your contact information?”

"It would have been better this way," Yayin said, putting a piece of crystal on the table. "When you're ready, crush it the night before. We'll come here to find you the next morning."

"Well, okay, I understand," the dwarf agreed and took the crystal.

Yayin nodded, turned around and greeted Liu Ji, then turned and left.

"Hey, how was the conversation?" Liu Ji asked curiously as they walked on the road.

He didn't understand Common Language, and he didn't understand a word of what Ya Yin and the boss were talking about just now.

"It's not bad. He promised to help us find someone," Yayin said. "If we dig along this line, we will be able to contact people from the military sooner or later."

"Yes," Liu Ji touched his chin, "But what did his last reaction mean? There's nothing scary about this, right? He seemed very panicked..."

"Business involving the military is too hot for people in the lower circles of the black market," Yayin said casually.

"That's right," Liu Ji nodded, "Then he won't let us go because he's afraid, right?"

“If he wants to ensure his absolute safety, the best way would be for us to find other people at the same level as him to lead the way,” Yayin said. “If he doesn’t do this, it means he hasn’t given up completely. "

"Sounds like this guy is quite brave?" Liu Ji muttered, "He's really not afraid of getting into trouble."

"You can't get along on the road if you don't have the courage," Yayin sighed, "Everything in the world is unpredictable, and his own choices have nothing to do with us."

"Yes," Liu Ji shrugged slightly, "Then what are we going to do next? Go back first?"

"No, there is one more thing," Yain said, "Ossa said that Snow is most likely in the dungeon, so it's time to find where he is. I think, with his previous personality, it shouldn't be too difficult. Just look for it.”

underground.

Aosa broke off two wooden branches and threw them into the fire in front of him.

There was a large pot on the fire, and some meat and vegetables were simmering in it.

The six potato boys sat neatly beside the pot, looking longingly at the pieces of meat tumbling in the pot.

Ao Sa looked at these cubs and felt a little emotional.

Looking at them at this time, they look just like they did when they were little.

It's just that he was beaten up by Yuan for no reason before, and Ao Sa gave him a beating. Now he is a little frightened when he sees Yuan.
