In the afternoon, Chen Xing returned to Orchid Town. As soon as he came back, he went to the middle-aged doctor and spent 1 gold and 5 silver to get medicine again. Most of the wounds have scabbed over and are slowly recovering.
[Gold held: 1 silver 3 copper (cash), 1 gold 6 silver 2 copper 6 cents (bank)]
Then, he arrived at Aaliyah's shop. On the cabinet, place three items in a row. The latter raised his black watch and scanned it. Rows of bright green, scrolling data reflected in the ruby-like pupils.
[Toxin & Energy Crystal (Leader of the Living Dead), about 11 grams]
[Market price estimate: 11~12 gold coins (World Bank)]
[Gold brooch, made by craftsmanship before the Cataclysm, about 45 grams, purity unknown]
[Market price estimate: 9~12 gold coins (Orchid Town), 10~13 gold coins (Dragonstone Town)]
[Diamond ring, made by craftsmanship before the Cataclysm, about 15 grams of platinum, about half a carat of diamonds, purity unknown]
[Market price estimate: 29~36 gold coins (Orchid Town), 30~38 gold coins (Dragonstone Town)]
"How much?" Aaliyah looked away and asked in a calm tone.
"Pack it up, fifty-five." Chen Xing said.
"Oh?" Aaliyah seemed a little surprised. With a suspicious look on his face, he glanced at him a few times and asked, "Are there any additional conditions?"
Chen Xing immediately smiled. His quotation this time was indeed lower than last time, and the purpose was to raise other conditions.
"I want a loan." Chen Xing said.
"Hmph~" Aaliyah wrinkled her little nose, shook her hand, and said coldly, "You'd better go find someone else."
"I think I have fully proven my ability. You see..." Chen Xing spread his hands and said, "I am back intact..." Then he looked at the jewelry and crystal cores on the cabinet and reminded, "And it also brought a lot of gains, and..." His tone became meaningful, "This is still under the premise that the equipment is not so ideal and has some minor problems."
"You said..." He smiled slightly and asked Aaliyah, "Really?"
Aaliyah looked at him, her red eyes seemed to burst out of fire. Chen Xing still looked calm and composed. Although he was very panicked, there was nothing he could do. He urgently needed money to buy evolution potion. At present, the one who is most likely to lend him money, or in other words, the most likely to be coerced and induced by him, is Aaliyah.
In this Orchid Town, he has no friends and his eyesight is dark. If he doesn't attack her, who else can he attack? If you want to blame her, just blame her for cheating her predecessor, only to let him take possession of her again.
The king level is indeed very powerful, and he is indeed scared, but if he can't live until then, what's the point? After thinking about this, he decided to get more benefits from Aaliyah. Anyway, they are all offended. There is no essential difference if there is one more piece and one less piece.
"How much?" Aaliyah asked coldly.
Chen Xing gestured, "Eighty."
"Eighty!" Aaliyah's eyes widened, as if she was looking at a monster.
"Do you think I am a bank?" She raised her voice, her tone full of anger, and then threatened, "Don't think girls are easy to bully." As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes, flashing a light golden shimmer.
Although it was only for a moment, Chen Xing felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, as if he had been glanced at by an ancient ferocious beast. It felt like an ant facing the giant golden pupils that slowly opened in the sky. At that moment, the pressure as vast as the sea almost crushed his consciousness into pieces.
But he still bit the bullet and insisted, "I can give you double the interest. As long as I can come back alive, you will have considerable income." He looked into her eyes and said sincerely, "Why, no How about giving it a try?”
After a long silence, Aaliya snorted and said through gritted teeth, "The last time."
When he came out of the gun shop, Chen Xing felt that he had just experienced a life-and-death disaster, which was even more terrifying than the insect-turned-wolf pack he encountered that day. Plucking the demon girl's hair was like snatching food from a tiger's mouth, which really made him a little scared. Cold sweat had already soaked my back, and it was as cold as if I had just been fished out of the water.
After borrowing the money, he bought twenty more gold coins of ammunition, including Uzi submachine guns, Black Star pistols, and a few grenades.
[Gold held: 1 silver 3 copper (cash), 116 gold 6 silver 2 copper 6 cents (bank)]
[Arrearage 1 (Dog king): 5 gold and 5 silver, repayment date: Dr2612-6-16]
[Amount owed 2 (Aaliyah): 100 gold, repayment date: Dr2612-6-20]
Aaliyah's monthly interest rate went directly to 20%. Although the price is frightening, given his current situation, it would be good to be able to borrow money. After all, in the wilderness, death is the norm. Even a powerful person at the lord level may become angry on the spot if he is negligent.
Afterwards, he gathered his mood and came to the pharmacy opened by the mayor.
Although the prices here are more than 30% more expensive than those in the back alleys, the medicine is directly injected into the blood, so you would not dare to buy it from a place with a bad reputation. Otherwise, if you go down a tube, it will be full of poison, and you won't even have a chance to reason.
If he had partners and a team, others would still be wary. But he was alone, so he was cheated, and there was no one to seek justice afterward.
"I want a primary evolution potion." Chen Xing said to a good-looking female saleswoman.
"A total of one hundred gold coins, thank you for your patronage." After the transaction was completed, the saleswoman bowed and said.
Chen Xing returned to the hotel where he had stayed before and booked a room. Lock the door, pull out the needle, and start the IV.
The bright yellow liquid flows into the blood, then pumped into the atrium, and flows to the limbs and bones. Chen Xing felt extremely comfortable all over, as if he was in warm water.
Gradually, he completely relaxed his body, and his consciousness drifted between dreams and reality. My mind was blank, no thoughts, no thoughts. He was so immersed in it that he didn't realize the passage of time. After an unknown amount of time, there was a "boom" in his mind, as if something had been broken, and his mind gradually returned to clarity.
The gaze he looked out the window became more profound. Suddenly, consciousness turned into a tangible and viscous liquid, like the tentacles of an octopus, constantly extending outward and touching.
The world in the sea of consciousness turned gray-white, quiet and peaceful, without a trace of movement.
After a long time, his consciousness shrank back like an ebbing tide.
Chen Xing moved his body. stood up. At this time, his natural ability - danger perception, has been successfully activated. Currently at the first level, the sensing range is fifteen meters.
By continuing to inject the medicine, you can reach the highest level 3, and the range increases to thirty-five meters. After that, "intermediate evolution potion" and "advanced evolution potion" are needed. The advanced ability of danger perception is "Extraordinary Perception", and the second advanced ability is "God's Eye".
Whether you can advance successfully depends on talent, luck, and the number of injections. Those who lack talent can make up for it with quantity. If you use a hundred evolution potions, as long as you don't die, no matter how new you are, you can successfully advance.
However, the gold coins required for one hundred intermediate and high-level evolution potions are an astronomical figure for ordinary people. Furthermore, even big nobles and big businessmen who can afford this money will feel that the gains outweigh the losses.
