Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 171: Old friend

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

Slumped on the sofa, he took a few deep breaths and felt that cold sweat had soaked his back.

The bodyguards and the two stewards were all old guys who had been doing business with him for many years. They had never seen their boss like this before, and they had no idea what was going on. Even the steward who discovered the abnormality in the cargo before just thought there was something strange in the cargo.

As soon as the outsiders left, they immediately asked.

"Hey boss, you don't look good. Is there something wrong with this batch of goods?"

"You don't want to lower the price? I think that guy is hiding his head and tail. The source of the goods must be wrong. If we lower the price, maybe we can earn a few percent more profit."

""

After hearing the questions from some old guys, Magitan looked very complicated.

Only he knew what a dangerous transaction he had just gone through.

Fortunately, the other party did not come here with the purpose of taking advantage of others. Otherwise, if it were the SS wanted criminal he guessed, they would not be able to leave alive today.

After pondering for a long time, he sighed: "It's not just that there is a problem, the person we traded with just now is"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he swallowed it in his mouth.

Magitan rolled her eyes, and her intuition told him that this matter must not be made public.

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

Magitan pondered for a moment, shook her head and said: "Forget it, you don't have to worry about this matter."

Seeing the boss say this, several people nodded and began to count the goods.

The crisis was no longer there, and Magitan felt that her mind had become more active.

He thought about the conversation just now and thought over and over in his mind: "If you want to ask for the puppet profession classics, there is a high probability that it will be that person. However, isn't the eldest son of the Oliver family offering a reward?"

Wanted criminals also have needs for supply and sale of 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, suitable businessmen will not kill the goose to obtain the eggs and sell out wanted criminals.

But it depends on the situation.

If the bounty given by the party is too much, Magitan would also mind reselling the information.

Now the reward for "SS wanted criminal Suellen" has reached the sky, and the reward privately added by Mr. Danzig of the Oliver family is even higher than the profit of this batch of goods

Thinking of this, Magitan was immediately tempted and said to the shop assistants: "Don't sell this batch of goods until I come back!"

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

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

He watched "Iron Cripple" Magitan leave in a hurry, and he knew where the guy had gone without having to guess.

Su Lun didn't pay attention to that guy. The bait had been put out and the purpose had been achieved.

Even if you guess it's a trap, you still have to bite the hook.

As long as you wait a few days, the secret code of [Puppet Secrets: Puppet Theater] will probably be available.

He thought, this time, not only would he get career secrets, but he would also have to play a big game!

After all

According to the information on the wanted poster, Su is still a first-level professional.

But in fact, he is no longer the little wanted criminal who was chased by a few second-level professionals in a panic.

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. He looked like a wealthy businessman going out for a walk and shopping.

Now he is more and more aware of the overflow of taking Sabina as a maid.

With the intelligence 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 Blackadder Tavern and went to the Hunting Guild again, scanning the new missions and information posted on the light screen.

Didn’t find what I wanted,

Then we went to Fangshi.

Nowadays, the size of the Hunter Market in Dawn Camp has been several times that 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.

But there are no hunters.

They installed steel external supports on the small buildings on both sides of the street, and then built various uneven steel plate partitions. Once connected with iron stairs, the city immediately changed from a flat surface to a three-dimensional block, and the area increased several times.

Su Lun was wandering around the market, so naturally he came to see if he could find something he needed.

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

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

Level 3 materials are also impossible to appear on street stalls.

Because of this, he could give up most of the stalls and walk around very quickly.

Sulun would often stop at stalls selling ancient books and scrolls to browse.

Compared with materials stalls, there is a greater possibility of picking up items at bookstalls.

Because most of the contents of ancient alchemy books are encrypted and most of them are written in ancient Nepalese, 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 in "good stuff".

Su Lun is easy to read and can roughly tell what the content is at a glance.

Even if there is encrypted information, you can probably know the origin after identification.

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

So for Su Lun, the less things others can understand, the better.

But even in ancient times when alchemy was prosperous, books recording alchemical knowledge were rare items. Most of the items on the hunter's stall were leisure books such as literature and biographies.

Look around and occasionally you can find good stuff.

No, Su Lun found a book of "Secret Painting Explanation of Second-Level Runes" on the street stall.

He just needed to supplement his knowledge of runes, so he bought it for tens of thousands of yuan.

As for the various incomprehensible spell scrolls, although they were rare, he did not touch them.

Now he has several space magic scrolls given by Mr. Hei in his hand. It is estimated that it will take him a year and a half to learn them. There is no use in being greedy for more.

Walking along the way, I visited hundreds of stalls.

I picked up a few ancient books and selected some cheap materials suitable for making puppets. It was a fruitful harvest.

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

There were a lot of cursed materials on the stall, as well as some alchemy plant products, inauguration materials and equipment that looked like they were obtained from murder.

The stall owner is a cold man dressed as an assassin. Although he wears a hood to cover his eyes, people can still see the indifference at the corners of his mouth and the ulcerated skin.

When someone asked for a price, he would quote a price in his hoarse voice, as low as sandpaper.

If someone negotiates the price, he will ignore it.

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

Looking carefully, his pupils shrank slightly, "Kay?"

There are many things on the stall, from all professions, the prices are reasonable, and many people buy them.

But there were also people who were interested in this weird-tempered stall owner and whispered something to each other.

"Which group's stall is this? There are a lot of good things. Even though the stall owner seems to have a bad temper, he is not afraid of not being able to sell anything."

"Hey, this stall owner is not from the hunting group, but an individual."

"Sanren? How is it possible? With so much material, don't tell me that he got it all by himself?!"

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

"Is this guy a big deal?"

“Don’t you see that the robotic arm sold at his stall looks familiar? Haha, what do you think of “One-Eyed” Max’s mechanical spray gun?”

"He is the "hyena" who killed more than 40 people of the "Steel Cannon Hunting Group" three days ago? ”

""

Su Lun was listening to these people whispering, with a slightly strange look on his face.

Kayi is the first friend he met after traveling through this world and having an appetite.

The two of them have experienced shared hardships several times, and can be regarded as life-or-death friends.

What a pity

There was an accident during the escort.

If I guessed correctly, Kai's current identity should be a member of the Inner City Umbrella Organization.

Otherwise he wouldn't be alive.

But why is he here?

Kayi rolled a coin on his fingers. He dropped it between his fingers and flicked it up with his thumb. A pleasant metallic sound sounded. He dropped it in his hand and played with it again.

Su Lun looked at this small movement that seemed to be practicing the dexterity of his fingers, and his eyes were slightly stern.

This is what he taught Kai.

This used to be the secret code of everyone on Green Street: if there is danger and it is inconvenient to speak out, just do this to remind your teammates.

Seeing this action, Su Lun felt a familiar yet unfamiliar noun flash through his mind.

Green Street?

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

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

In the end, only two people were left.

Only the two of them know this secret code

"I remember that "One-Eyed" Max is a second-level profession, right? ”

"Yes, that's why this news is so serious! During the wilderness hunting operation three days ago, the man in front of me gained a lot. I heard that he also found a valuable ancient treasure." Steel Cannon When a captain of the hunting group saw that he was alone, he wanted to catch his attention. In the end, he didn't talk nonsense at all and killed the captain with a knife. Then "One-Eyed" Max took advantage of the strength of the people to take revenge. But that guy wasn't timid at all, and he didn't care that Max was a second-level professional. He defeated the entire team by himself. In the end, for some reason, the ‘Steel Cannon Regiment’ became intimidated and wanted to retreat.”

"This is too outrageous, isn't it? Can one person kill a medium-sized hunting group led by a second-level professional and give up and escape?"

"You think it's over? What happens next is outrageous!"

"Huh?"

"The Steel Cannon Corps gave in, but that guy had no intention of just letting it go. With a relentless attitude, he just dragged his injuries and chased down dozens of people from the Steel Cannon Corps. I heard it was They used the fog in the ruins to set up an ambush and successfully killed Max! In the end, only a few shrimps from the Steel Cannon Regiment escaped from the ruins alive."

"Hi~ What a **** monster."

"I've heard of him too. This guy is famous for being a tiger. He is ruthless in killing monsters and killing people. He is as cold-blooded as a monster. It feels like he treats every battle as if it is his last. When fighting, he would rush up and bite the enemy when he encountered them, often getting himself covered in wounds. But because of his fearless energy, he always reaped huge rewards. People who know him now say that he is like a 'hyena'. Whoever provokes you, no matter if it is you, a tiger or a lion, they will fight for their lives against you until death. Very few people dare to provoke you."

""

Su Lun frowned slightly as he listened to the stories told by others.

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

Su Lun looked around, did not go up to say hello, turned around and left

It is good news that an old friend is not dead.

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

Kayi is a member of the Umbrella Organization's inner city establishment, not Sabina's subordinate, and does not have much information.

But speaking of Kai appearing here, 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 relationships of the target. He would appear suddenly at dawn with only one purpose, which was to attract Suellen to take the bait.

After all, among the social relationships Su Lun could trace, Kai was considered the most critical acquaintance.

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

After all, you have to give the enemy some preparation time before you can catch the big fish.

His schedule became very regular.

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

At noon, I will stay in the hotel to contact the secrets of space and puppetry.

I occasionally go to Sabina’s place for a few hours in the evening to hear about the latest developments in the Oliver family

On this day, at ten o'clock in the evening, in the noisy Blackadder Tavern.

"Iron Cripple" Magitan is discussing a business deal in the tavern.

Suddenly, he was tapped on the shoulder.

Looking back, I saw that it was a man with a big trench coat covering his face.

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

Hearing this, Magitan immediately realized who the person was.

A flash of nervousness flashed in his eyes, but his face was calm: "Yes. I have contacted a channel to get the puppet professional's classics, and even Master Lloyd's unique secret [Puppet Theater]. But the price is not high. Cheap. To get it, you have to wait at least two days for this amount."

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

He was not surprised at all that this guy said it would take time.

After all, ambush takes time.

He directly handed over a bag of large-denomination cash and agreed: "Okay, here is the deposit. Four days later, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the transaction will be done at the 'White Broken Wall' outside the south city of the ruins."

"That"

Magitan's eyes fell on the money bag on the wine table. She was about to say something when she looked up and realized that Su Lun had disappeared into the crowd of people in the tavern.

At this time, a few sneaky guys in the tavern came closer.

After searching around, no trace of Su Lun was found.

"You're really alert"

"It is natural for SS wanted criminals to be so vigilant."

"Has the transaction confirmed the address?"

"Yeah."

"Let's arrange it. We must not let that guy escape this time."
