Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 172

After Su Lun left, Maggie Tan was relieved in the VIP room.

He was slumped on the sofa, gasping for a few breaths, and only then did he feel the cold sweat on his back.

Several bodyguards and two stewards are old guys who have been doing business with him for many years. They have never seen their boss like this, and they have no idea what happened. Even the manager who discovered the abnormality of the goods just thought that there was something strange in the goods.

Now as soon as the outsiders leave, they immediately ask questions.

"Hey boss, your face is not very good, is there something wrong with this batch of goods?"

"You don't press down the price? I think that kid is hiding his head and showing his tail. The source of the supply must be wrong. If we press down, maybe we can earn a few percent more profit."

"."

Hearing a few old buddies ask, Magitan's face was very complicated.

Only he knew what a dangerous transaction process he had just experienced.

Fortunately, the other party didn't come with the purpose of eating black, otherwise, if it were the SS wanted criminal he guessed, they would not have left alive today.

After pondering for a long time, he sighed and said, "It's more than a problem, the person who just traded with us is"

However, half of the words were just swallowed in his mouth.

Magitan rolled his eyes and told him intuitively, but this matter must not be made public.

A manager was puzzled and asked, "Boss, do you know that person?"

Magitan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, you don't need to worry about this."

Several people looked at the boss saying this, nodded and started to count the goods.

The crisis was no longer there, and Magitan felt that his mind had come alive.

He thought of the conversation just now, and pondered in his heart: "If you want to request the purchase of puppet occupation books, there is a high probability that it is the one. However, isn't the eldest young master of the Oliver family offering a reward?"

The wanted criminals also need to supply and sell stolen goods, and the black market is their best channel.

This is also the main reason why black market bosses make huge profits in this business. They can often get stolen goods at low prices and sell them at high prices.

Usually the right merchants don't do the slaughtering and selling the wanted criminals either.

But it also depends on the situation.

If the bounty is too much, Magitan doesn't mind selling the information.

Now the bounty for "SS Wanted Su Lun" has already skyrocketed, and the private additional bounty offered by the Oliver family's Dan Ze, is even more profitable than this batch of goods.

Thinking of this, Magitan immediately became tempted, and said to the other guys: "Don't sell this batch of goods, wait until I get back!"

Thinking about it, he took out a few storage rings from the box as "evidence" and went out immediately.

Su Lun left the tavern, quickly removed his disguise like magic, and appeared on the street again swaggeringly.

He watched "Iron Cripple" Magitan leave in a hurry, and without guessing, he knew where the guy went.

Su Lun didn't pay any attention to the guy, the bait had already been cast, and the purpose had been achieved.

Even if the other party guesses that this is a trap, they have to bite the hook.

As long as you wait a few days, the secret recipe for [Puppet Profound Truth: Puppet Theater] will probably be available.

He thought, this time, not only to get professional cheats, but also to really play a big wave!

after all

According to the information on the wanted list, he Su is still a first-order professional.

But in fact, he is no longer the little wanted criminal who can be chased by a few second-order professionals.

This time, I will probably catch a few big fish.

on the street,

Su Lun was dressed in an expensive white exquisite suit, holding a cane and wearing a hat, like a wealthy businessman who went out for a walk.

He now realizes more and more the benefits of accepting Sabina as a maid.

The intelligence is in his own hands, he knows almost everything in the camp, and he has the confidence to do anything.

This gave him too much convenience.

Su Lun left the Black Jazz Tavern, went to the Wild Hunt Guild again, and scanned the new quests and information posted on the screen.

I didn't find what I wanted,

Then went to Fangshi again.

Today, the size of the Wilderness Hunter Square in the Dawn Camp has been several times the size of the original, and the number of stalls has increased more than ten times.

However, due to the limitation of the camp area, Fangshi still only planned one street.

This did not deter the hunters.

They added steel outer brackets to the small buildings on both sides of the street, and then erected various jagged steel partitions. Once connected with iron stairs, the square city was immediately transformed from a plane into a three-dimensional block, and the area increased several times.

Su Lun was wandering around in the market, naturally to see if he could pick up the leaks and find some things he needed.

After all, the ruins have produced a large number of ancient relics, and there are countless good things in the first-hand source of goods.

Because Su Lun has already advanced to the second level, there is no need for any professional materials.

It is also impossible for third-order materials to appear on the stalls.

Because of this, he can give up most of the stalls, and the speed of shopping along the way is quite fast.

Su Lun would often stop by the stalls selling ancient books and scrolls to flip through them.

Compared with material booths, book booths are more likely to pick up leaks.

Because most of the ancient alchemy books are encrypted, and most of them are written in Gurney, it takes a lot of effort to translate them.

Ordinary hunting groups basically do not have the ability to translate, so it is easier to mix "good things".

Su Lun can read it without hindrance, and he can roughly know what it is at a glance.

Even if there is encrypted information, if you authenticate it, you will probably know where it came from.

The more complex the encryption method, the more important the content of the classics.

So for Su Lun, the more things others can't understand, the better.

But even in ancient times when alchemy was prosperous, the books that recorded the knowledge of alchemy were rare items. Most of the waste hunters' stalls are filled with idle books such as literary biographies.

Check it out, and occasionally you can find something good.

No, Su Lun found a book of "Secret Drawings of Second-Order Runes" on the street stall.

He just needed to supplement the knowledge of runes, and he bought it after spending tens of thousands of dollars.

As for those incomprehensible spell scrolls, although they were rare, he didn't touch them.

Now he has a few scrolls of space magic given by Mr. Hei. It is estimated that it will take a year and a half to study, and greed has no effect.

Along the way, I visited hundreds of stalls.

After picking up a few ancient books, and picking up some cheap materials suitable for making puppets, I have gained a lot.

While walking, Su Lun's eyes were suddenly drawn to a booth surrounded by many people.

There were a lot of curse materials on the booth, as well as some finished alchemy plant equipment that looked like they were obtained from murder, inaugural materials and equipment.

The stall owner was a ruthless man dressed as an assassin. Although he wore a hood to cover his eyes, he could clearly see the indifference and festering skin at the corners of his mouth.

When someone asked for a price, he would quote a price in a low, hoarse voice that sounded like rubbing against sandpaper.

If someone bargains, he will ignore it.

Su Lun had no interest in the materials on the booth at first, but when he saw the face, he felt a little familiar and walked over.

Taking a closer look, his pupils shrank slightly, "Kay?"

There are a lot of things on the booth, all occupations have it, the price is fair, and there are many people buying it.

But there are also people who are interested in this strange-tempered stall owner, whispering something to each other.

"Which group's booth is this, there are a lot of good things. It's just that the owner of this stall doesn't seem to have a good temper, and he's not afraid of not being able to sell things."

"Hey, this stall owner is not from the famine hunting group, but a loose person."

"Loose people? How is it possible, so many materials, don't tell me that he got it alone?!"

"If you knew who he was, it probably wouldn't feel impossible."

"This guy has a big background?"

"Don't you look familiar to the robotic arms he sells at his booth? Hehe, "One-Eyed" Max's mechanical spray gun, what do you think?"

"He is the "hyena" who slaughtered more than 40 people in the 'Steel Cannon Hunting Group' three days ago? "

"."

Su Lun listened to the whispers of these people, and his face was slightly strange.

Kai was the first friend who had an appetite he had come across to this world.

The two have also experienced many times of suffering together, and they can be regarded as life and death.

pity

That escort was an accident.

If guessed correctly, Kai's current identity should be a member of the inner city umbrella organization.

Otherwise he couldn't be alive.

But why is he here?

Kai rolled a coin on his fingers, landed between his fingers and bounced it with his thumb. A pleasant metallic sound of "Keng~" sounded, landed in his hand, and played again.

Su Lun's eyes twitched slightly as he looked at the small movements that seemed to be practicing agility between his fingers.

That's what he taught Kay.

This used to be the secret code of everyone on Green Street: If there is a danger that is inconvenient to say, do this action to remind teammates.

Seeing this action, Su Lun felt that a familiar and unfamiliar term flashed in his mind.

Green Street?

Obviously it's not long, but it seems to be a term that has been around for a long time.

Green Street was destroyed in the gang fire and the Cross Squad is long gone. Even the former members, except for him and Kai, have changed several times.

In the end there were only two people left.

Only the two of them knew this secret code.

"I remember that 'One-Eyed' Max is a second-tier profession, right? "

"Yeah, that's why the news is so fierce! In the wild hunting operation three days ago, this person in front of him has gained a lot. I heard that he has also found a valuable ancient treasure." 'One of the captains wanted to pay attention to him when he saw that he was alone. As a result, they didn't talk nonsense at all and killed the captain with one knife. Then "One-Eyed" Max went to take revenge on the strength of the crowd. But that guy is not cowardly at all, and he doesn't care that Max is a second-order professional, and he hardened the entire team by himself. In the end, for some reason, the 'Steel Cannon Regiment' instead persuaded and wanted to retreat."

"This is too outrageous, isn't it? A person killed a medium-sized hunting group led by a second-order professional and fled?"

"You think it's over? It's just outrageous later!"

"what?"

"The Steel Cannon Regiment admits it, but that guy didn't plan to just let it go. With a never-ending attitude, he dragged the wounds all over his body, and he just chased and killed dozens of people in the Steel Cannon Regiment in the ruins. I heard that they were ambushed by the fog in the ruins, and they successfully killed Max. In the end, the steel cannon group collapsed, leaving only a few shrimps to escape the ruins alive”

"Hey~ what a fucking monster."

"I've heard of him too. This guy is a famous tiger. He kills and kills monsters ruthlessly. He's also ruthless to himself. He's cold-blooded like a monster. It feels like he treats every battle as the last. He will work hard when he encounters an enemy. But also because he is not afraid of death, he will reap the rewards every time. People who know him now say that he is like a 'hyena'. Playing with your life, you will never die. Few people dare to provoke them."

"."

Su Lun frowned slightly as he listened to what others said.

He was not sure what happened to Kai, but the cold-blooded assassin in front of him was completely different from the gang leader who had a bright smile on his face all day long.

Su Lun looked around, didn't go up to say hello, turned around and left.

It's good news that an old friend isn't dead.

In the evening, Su Lun went to Sabina's room to stay for half the night, and got some news from her.

Kai is a member of the Umbrella Organization's inner city establishment, not Sabina's subordinate, so there is not much information.

But it is said that Kai will appear here, and it is also directly related to Su Lun.

To hunt down "SS-level wanted criminals", the umbrella organization will mobilize all resources and monitor all social relations of the target. He would appear suddenly at dawn with only one purpose, to attract Su Lun to take the bait.

After all, the social relationship that Su Lun can trace back, Kai is the most crucial acquaintance.

In the next few days, Su Lun was not in a hurry to contact the black market merchant.

After all, you have to give the enemy a little preparation time to catch a big fish.

His routine became very regular.

Go to the Wild Hunting Union early in the morning, and then go around the market to shop for goods.

At noon, he would stay in the hotel to practice space secrets and puppet arts.

Occasionally spend a few hours at Sabina's at night to hear the latest developments in the Oliver family.

This day, at ten o'clock in the evening, in the noisy and noisy Black Jazz Tavern.

"Iron Cripple" Magitan is negotiating a deal in the tavern.

Suddenly, he was tapped on the shoulder.

Looking back, it was indeed a man with a large windbreaker covering his face.

Su Lun said directly: "Boss Magitan, is there any news on the goods I want?"

Hearing this, Magitan immediately realized who was coming.

There was a flash of nervousness in his eyes, but his face was calm: "Yes. I contacted a channel to get puppet professional books, and even Master Lloyd's unique mystery [Puppet Theater]. But the price is not cheap. It will take at least two days to get this number.”

Su Lun looked at the five fingers he had compared, and didn't care about the price at all.

He wasn't at all surprised that this guy said it would take time.

After all, ambush takes time.

He directly handed out a bag of large-value cash, and responded: "Okay, this is the deposit. Four days later, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the transaction will be conducted at the 'white broken wall' outside the southern city of the ruins."

"that."

Magitan's eyes fell on the purse on the wine table, and he was about to say something when he looked up and found that Su Lun had disappeared into the crowded crowd in the tavern.

And at this time, a few sneaky guys in the tavern approached.

After searching everywhere, I couldn't find any trace of Su Lun.

"Really alert."

"SS wanted criminals should be so vigilant."

"Transaction confirmation address?"

"Um."

"Let's arrange it, this time we must not let that guy run away."
