Ji Xun was surprised for a moment, was she asking herself?
Apparently so.
He was very confused and alert, but he also responded: "Yeah. Just ask."
Ji Xun confirmed that the two had no intersection.
In Innocence City, any approach from a stranger should not be taken carelessly.
This woman's intuition was very keen, as if she had seen through his thoughts, and she didn't care at all. There was no such thing as wariness in Sinless City, and the grass on the graves was already three meters high.
She said directly with an indifferent tone: "If you really need it, you can go to the 'Silver Star Mystery Shop' in the dark rain street black market. Let's just say that Dong Qi introduced me."
Ah, does she really know?
Ji Xun didn't know why this unknown woman would be so kind to introduce her to him.
Any other purpose?
It doesn't look like it.
That person from the fourth young master of the Cao family?
Neither.
If you really want to recognize him, you must directly attack him, there is no need to beat around the bush and create any traps.
Ji Xun didn't understand, and didn't think it was meaningful to ask more.
"Thanks."
He responded politely and walked out of the store.
In fact, Ji Xun didn't know that the woman in leather clothes didn't care at all about the small favor she had just done casually. She even kept her eyes on those photos without giving him a second glance.
There is no other reason.
When she got out of the car, she happened to watch someone conjure a loaf of bread for the beggar sister and brother on the roadside.
do not know why.
But that picture stayed in my heart.
And what she is doing now is the same. It is an unintentional act and cannot be regarded as an intention at all.
It's rare to meet a guy you like.
...
Ji Xun walked out of the store and was thinking about the scene just now.
He still couldn't figure out why a complete stranger would give him a hint.
Could it be that the shill from some Silver Star store?
People with that kind of top-notch mechanical equipment would not be like that.
As he walked, the idea in his mind became stronger and stronger, and he decided to go and have a look.
What if there really is?
"So why is there a black market in Anyu Street?"
Ji Xun has some tips.
He thought he was visiting the black market in Innocence City.
After all, the entire city is a crime capital, and any market is not a serious market.
But according to what the woman just said, there seems to be a special black market in Innocence City?
Ji Xun naturally wanted to take a look.
But... where is the Dark Rain Street?
...
Two hours later.
Ji Xun came to the intersection of Lanni District and Tonglou District in Beicheng.
According to the information I heard before, this should be "Dark Rain Street".
"It's really hard to find..."
Ji Xun looked at the dark street in front of him and muttered.
He wasn't familiar with the city and didn't have a map. Finally, he tried his best to inquire about it and found this place.
There are no large factories nearby in the muddy neighborhood. With only a few people around, the area retains its original appearance, giving it a sense of magical decay.
There is no difference between the early morning and afternoon street scenes in the underground city. There are no street lights, and the light nearby is very dark, like dusk approaching darkness.
There is a pungent smell in the air, which is the exhaust gas discharged from the alchemical potion factory. Such heavily polluting factories are usually located in places with few people.
Ji Xun walked over and saw rusty iron fences everywhere on the street. Even residents rarely chose this kind of neighborhood where gas masks are required at all times.
As we walked deeper into the lights, the streets became narrower and narrower. The dim lights illuminated the low red-brick houses that looked like haunted houses. White smoke hissed everywhere in the alley. It's broken steam pipes... there's a rundown streetscape everywhere.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard the sound of a whistle, as if an intercity train was passing between the buildings, and a white mist emerged from the ground in front of me.
But there was no sign of the train.
Ji Xun walked over and saw that the train was still twenty meters below. It turned out that he was still on the covered bridge.
An underground market appeared before my eyes.
Various steel-structured buildings have erected small houses, and there are shops there.
There are far fewer pedestrians here than Hunters Place on Grotto Street, but instead of making people feel deserted, it is full of mystery.
Ji Xun listened carefully and heard the sound of rushing water.
If you look closely, there seems to be a raging underground river hidden in the thick fog-filled depths next to the market.
"There really is a black market."
Ji Xun saw those shops. Although the signs were inconspicuous, like small workshops, the atmosphere alone gave people the feeling that there was good stuff here.
He looked around and walked over.
Various card shops, machine shops, material shops, gun shops... It feels like this is a huge contraband market.
If you look closely, the items for sale are much wilder!
Ji Xun just glanced at it casually. The samples hanging outside the machine shops were all kinds of obsolete military equipment that the hunters said were difficult to obtain. Those displayed in the windows of gun shops are all kinds of heavy firearms with exaggerated shapes!
There are also things like [plague bombs], [distortion bombs], [annihilation bombs]... 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 the shop here actually sells them openly?
There are also various highly lethal violent potions, psychedelic potions, alchemical poisons in the potion shop...
Ji Xun was really eye-opening.
How can I describe this feeling? The products sold in ordinary shops outside are like grenades, but missiles are sold here!
It turns out that the same is true in Innocence City. The rules are never for everyone, but for ordinary people who cannot exercise their privileges.
He was suddenly looking forward to it.
It seems like the real good stuff can be found here.
“What a great place...”
Ji Xun looked at it with hot eyes, he wanted to buy anything here.
But looking at the price, that scorching heat was instantly poured cold water on.
Sure enough, it’s a good thing, but it also comes with a frightening price.
.......
Ji Xun walked, observing his surroundings.
Not only is the shop special here, but the customers coming and going are also mysterious.
Most of them wore windbreakers and hats to cover their faces, or wore cloaks. In short, few people showed their true faces.
Ji Xun also wore a gas mask and walked on the street inconspicuously.
Soon, he stopped.
Turning his head to look, he saw the words "Silver Star Mysterious Materials Shop" written casually in black charcoal on the wooden board at the door of the shop in front of him.
If he hadn't looked carefully, he would have almost missed it.
That's it?
It doesn't look too high-end.
Ji Xun took a look at the shop and walked in with a skeptical attitude.
The house is very small, only about ten 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 that can be considered a commodity.
More like a grocery warehouse.
Behind the counter, a skinny middle-aged man wearing glasses was concentrating on grinding an unknown black powder, paying no attention to the customer who came to the store.
Ji Xun asked: "Hello, boss, may I ask if you have..."
But before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man interrupted him with a tone that was far away: "No."
Hey...this isn't the right beginning.
No business to do?
Ji Xun didn't know that the black market had black market rules.
Almost every store here has its own secret supply channel and sales network. Without acquaintances to guide them, store owners will not sell goods to strangers.
Ji Xun soon realized that he might not be asking the right question.
But he really doesn't know the rules of the black market.
Thinking of the leather-clad woman he met before, he said uncertainly: "I was... introduced by Dong Qi."
"Dong...Qi?"
Hearing him say this name directly, the eyes of the thin middle-aged man wearing glasses twitched inexplicably.
He put down the grinder in his hand and looked at the guest in front of him carefully.
Not many people can call him by this name.
What is this man's background?
At the same time, Ji Xun was also sizing up the shop owner. Looking at the sudden gaze, he nodded: "Yes."
His intuition told him that there might be something wrong with this name.
But he didn't tell lies, that's what the man said.
.......
Hearing this, a strange look flashed across the shopkeeper's eyes, and he obviously judged that this was true.
He didn't seem to understand who could call "Dong Qi" directly, but he took the initiative to ask: "You... just said you wanted something?"
"I want to ask if you have any breathing techniques here..."
Seeing the change in the shop owner's attitude, Ji Xun also guessed that "Dong Qi"'s face might have worked.
oh.
It turns out that's all.
Before he could finish speaking, the shop owner said neatly: "Black Iron Breathing Technique costs 180,000 yuan. Just tell me a name and I'll find it for you. It doesn't matter. Silver Breathing Technique costs 1.5 million. The store currently only has [Storm Breathing Technique] and [Thunder Breathing Technique]." Secret Cultivation] and [Breath of Fire]. As for the other ones you want, you need to make a reservation. It depends on the difficulty of obtaining the supply. The price will be calculated separately and will be delivered within one month."
The tone was very casual, as if it was just an ordinary product.
"..."
Ji Xungang still 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 method names reported by the store.
Black Iron Breathing Technique Randomly named?
besides,
Storm...storm breathing method?
Bernie, the "Big Sword" I just heard in the morning, swore that [Storm Breathing Technique] is the secret of their Storm Hunters. Can you just sell it here?
Is it the same name?
Ji Xun thought about it and thought it was not the case.
There are only a few silver breathing methods with recognizable names on the market, and they probably don’t have the same name.
It turns out that it’s not that I can’t buy it, but that I didn’t find the right way.
And listening to the last half of the guy's words, it seems that other breaths can be booked?
The tone seemed to be that whatever the guests wanted, they had the means to get it. And the way to get it is not a formal way at first glance.
Damn it, the road is so wild!
What is the origin of this shop?
Sometimes, when one's knowledge is suddenly refreshed, it always makes people feel unreal.
Various thoughts flashed through Ji Xun's mind for a moment.
He looked at the humble shop again out of the corner of his eye, and an instinctive thought came to his mind: Was he some liar trying to make a big deal?
Think about a street outside. This is a black market.
Black shop?
.......
Ji Xun remained calm, thinking that he had nothing worth deceiving, and some thoughts came to his mind: How about inspecting the goods first to see how strong this guy is?
Seeing his expression, the shop owner took the initiative and asked, "Didn't you like anything?"
He had a preconceived idea that the person who introduced him naturally didn't want anything ordinary, so he added, "If it's a rarer breathing method, it might be a bit troublesome."
Rare?
The legendary golden breathing method?
It's just... a little troublesome.
It’s not impossible!
Ji Xun's impression of the shop owner in front of him had been refreshed once again.
He remained calm and stated his needs directly: "Well... I need a breathing method that can absorb multiple elements at the same time."
If it was a single-element breathing method, regardless of whether it was affordable or not, even if it was a silver secret method, he felt it was a bit useless.
And if this shop owner is really unreliable, he also wants to see what tricks this guy can come up with.
"???"
When the shop owner heard Ji Xun's request, his eyes narrowed slightly and he immediately put away his contempt.
Sure enough... the person who introduced me was not an ordinary person.
People who need that kind of secret technique must have a very special career sequence.
He had no intention of inquiring into the privacy of his guests, which was a taboo in the black market. After a moment of reflection, he said directly: "The breathing method you mentioned also has..."
When Ji Xun heard this, he looked slightly sideways: Is it really true?
The shop owner added: "I happen to have a collection of fragments of the breathing method here. I don't know what it's called. But this breathing method can absorb at least seven kinds of elements... but the price is a little expensive."
As he spoke, he took out three fingers.
Ji Xun asked tentatively: "Three million?"
The shop owner said it was a bit expensive, so it was naturally not 30,000, but 300,000.
When he heard the price, he immediately felt unreliable.
Bai Yin's breathing method is only over 100, what breathing method of yours is more than 300?
And the nameless breathing method?
The more mysterious it is, the lower its credibility becomes.
The shopkeeper was noncommittal, a flash of wisdom flashed across his eyes, and he just added: "The result of the appraiser is that this may be a gold-quality breathing method, and its origin is even related to the old demon. Although there are only fragments , but after cultivating to the sixth level of magic power, theoretically speaking, the magic power value is equivalent to the ninth level of ordinary people. So the price is definitely not high. This is still for the sake of the one who introduced you, otherwise I would not mention it to you. ."
"..."
Although Ji Xun was suspicious, his expression did not change.
I couldn't afford this huge sum of money, and I wasn't prepared to believe it so easily.
Before Ji Xun could suspect that the other party was a liar, the shop owner turned over his hand and took out a brochure.
He added: "And don't blame the old man for being too talkative. The source of this secret method is very sensitive. You should know who it is. So even if someone learns it, it is best not to let outsiders know."
"..."
Ji Xun knows nothing!
He also guessed that he probably thought that he really knew "Dong Qi" and should know some common sense at the corresponding level.
But looking at the booklet handed to me for inspection, I realized that this store was not joking!
Ji Xun calmly took the booklet and turned a page at random, his pupils shrinking slightly.
He is now proficient in the [Great Dark Breathing Technique] and roughly knows the principles of the breathing technique.
He is very perceptive, so he can see at a glance that this booklet is absolutely genuine!
The breathing practice formula recorded above is most likely a secret method that can absorb multiple elements at the same time to condense the power of the spell.
"It's actually true?"
Ji Xun was really surprised at this time.
He thought that if the other party really made up such a set of breathing techniques just to deceive people, the liar would definitely be a master in the practice of Kung Fu!
Now he handed it over so generously,
At this moment, Ji Xun already had 90% confidence in his heart.
It can be seen that... not only now, but what this store just said all the time is true!
At the same time, he also took a deep breath.
Hiss~
What is the origin of this store and its energy is so great?
Who is this "Dong Qi"? He has such a big reputation?
It must be some big shot in Innocence City.
Ji Xun thought of the leather-clad woman he met at the classics shop before. It seemed that he had a good destiny for no reason?
I have the aura of a bad luck gambler, and I thought that 90% of it was a scam. You want me to get this pie from the sky?
Ji Xun was also confused at the same time. Isn't this shop owner afraid that he would just know the name and come to deceive him?
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 book, Ji Xun closed it.
Although he has a photographic memory, if the store doesn't mind him flipping through it a little more and not being able to see the little details, and he shamelessly reads it carefully, he might be able to memorize it.
But Ji Xun had no intention of taking advantage of others in this regard.
If people treat you sincerely, there is no hypocrisy in return.
Ji Xun was able to see this secret method because of the favor of "Dong Qi". If you really want to be a gentleman, you will fall into a lower class.
But I am really short of money.
At this moment, he had no doubt that the price of "three million" was too high.
On the contrary, he thought it was lower than the market price!
The owner of the [Storm Breathing Technique] only asked for 1.5 million. Although this is the market price, if it cannot be sold, it should theoretically be more expensive.
Looking at it this way, this golden fragment is definitely worth the price of a favor.
And this breathing method is absolutely priceless for those who agree with it.
Ji Xun can already imagine the efficiency of his breathing method increasing by N times...
But he really has no money.
The only valuable cards he had with him were the cards from the Blackwater Mercenary Group, but he estimated that they could probably be sold for hundreds of thousands.
The [Second Alienated Heart of Gambling Dog] is a good thing, but taking these things out will reveal your identity!
Ji Xun was in a dilemma for a while.
Looking at his expression, the store owner couldn't figure out what the introduced customer was thinking.
When Ji Xun was thinking about how to raise money, or whether to risk selling some things, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
Inspiration Display: "Mystic Spell Saving Throw"
He immediately realized that someone had just used a mysterious technique like divination.
I'm being targeted!
