Chapter 51: Chapter 37 Mysterious Shop in the Black Market!
Translator: 549690339
But a look at the price instantly doused his excitement.
As expected, good things always come at a price that makes your heart skip a beat.
Leonard Churchill walked around, observing his surroundings.
Not only the shops here are special, the customers coming and going are also very mysterious.
Most of them were hidden behind hats, windbreak coats, or wearing cloaks. In short, few people showed their true faces.
Leonard also blended into the crowd, wearing a gas mask and walking casually down the street.
Soon, he stopped walking.
Turning his head to look, he saw a small shop with “Silver Star Mysterious Material Shop” hand-written on a wooden board with charcoal at the entrance.
If he hadn’t paid attention, he would have almost missed it.
This is it?
It doesn’t look high-end at all.
Leonard eyed the shop once, with a skeptical attitude, and walked in.
The shop was very small, around ten square meters or so.
In this small shop, several rows of cabinets occupied more than half of the room, and there were even unknown creature bones hanging on the ceiling.
But what was strange was that the shop seemed to be full, but there were hardly any goods displayed.
It looked more like a storeroom of miscellaneous goods.
Behind the counter, a thin middle-aged person wearing glasses was engrossed in grinding some black powder, completely ignoring the customer that had just entered.
Leonard began, “Hello boss, do you have…”
But before he could finish, the middle-aged man interrupted him with a dismissive tone: “No.”
Huh… that’s not a good start.
Is he refusing business?
But Leonard did not know that the Black Market had its own rules.
Almost every shop here has its secret supply channels and sales network. Without an introduction from a familiar person, the shop owner will not sell goods to unfamiliar customers.
Leonard quickly realized that he might not have asked the right question.
But he really didn’t know the rules of the Black Market.
Remembering the woman in the leather jacket he had met before, he hesitantly said: “I was introduced by… Seven Brown.”
“Seven… Brown?”
Upon hearing him say the name directly, the middle-aged man wearing glasses twitched imperceptibly at the corner of his eyes.
He put down the tool he was using to grind, and carefully looked at the customer in front of him.
Not many people could call out this name.
Who is this person?
While Leonard was also observing the shop owner, seeing the sudden gaze, he nodded: “Yes.”
His intuition told him that there might be a problem with this name.
But he didn’t lie, that’s what the man said.
Hearing this, a hint of surprise passed under the eyes of the shop owner, seemingly convinced of Leonard’s words.
It was as if he hadn’t figured out who could call “Seven Brown” directly, but he still took the initiative to ask: “What… what were you asking for just now?”
“I would like to know if you have any Breathing Method…”
Seeing the change in the shop owner’s attitude, Leonard guessed that it might be because the “Seven Brown” had some weight.
Oh.
So it’s just that.
Before he could finish, the shop owner said straightforwardly: “Black Iron Breathing Method is 180,000, just name it and I’ll get it for you, no bargaining. Silver Breathing Method is 1.5 million, there are only the Storm Breathing Method, Thunder Secret Cultivation, and Fire Breathing Method available in the shop for now. For others, you need to make a reservation. The price depends on the difficulty of obtaining the product, to be delivered within a month.”
His tone was very casual, as if it was just an ordinary commodity.
Leonard was still skeptical about this store, but the list of Breathing Methods the store owner just mentioned left him a bit dumbfounded.
Black Iron Breathing Method available on demand?
And,
Storm… Storm Breathing Method?
The ‘Great Sword’ Bernie told me this morning firmly that the Storm Breathing Method is the secret of their Storm Hunter Group. And here, you can sell it casually?
Could it be a duplicate name?
Leonard thought about it and felt that it wasn’t.
There were not many known Silver Breathing Methods in the market, it should not be duplicate.
It turns out that it was not that I couldn’t buy it, but I hadn’t found the right path.
And listening to the shopkeeper’s half-sentence, it seems other Breathing Methods can be preordered?
His tone seemed to suggest that he has means to get whatever the customer wants. And the way he gets it, doesn’t sound like anything legal.
Holy crap, is this how wild it gets here?
What’s the background of this shop?
Sometimes, when cognitions are suddenly being updated, people will always feel a sense of unreality.
Various thoughts flashed in Leonard’s mind in an instant.
He took another look at this unassuming shop from the corner of his eye, and an instinctive thought rose in his heart: Is this some scammer who draws a big cake?
Looking at the street outside, this is the black market.
A scam shop?
Leonard didn’t show any emotion, thought about it, and felt like he didn’t have anything worth scamming. An idea emerged in his mind: Why not, first verify the goods, to see the capability of this guy?
Seeing his demeanor, the shop owner took the initiative to ask again: “Nothing to your liking?”
He jumped to the conclusion that the one who was introduced was naturally not for any common merchandise and continued, “If it’s a rarer Breathing Method, it might be a bit troublesome.”
Rarer?
The legendary Gold Breathing Method?
And it’s just… a bit troublesome.
So it’s not impossible to get!
Upon hearing this, Leonard once again refreshed his impression of the shop owner in front of him.
He didn’t show any emotion, and directly stated his needs: “Well… I need a Breathing Method that can absorb multiple elements at the same time.”
If it’s still a single-element Breathing Method, he would find it somewhat tasteless even if it were a Silver Secret Skill, not to mention whether he could afford it or not..
