Chapter 121 Old Jack, do you want to cooperate?
Brilliant City, Langay Street, Old Jack's shop.
Some time has passed, but Old Jack still looked at Li Si who just walked in with a dead fish eye.
He was surprised that this guy was obviously a nobleman, but why he always came to his shop.
Obviously, normal nobles avoid Lange Street?
And this time, he didn't bring the golden warrior guard with him. Instead, he had a white bat on his head.
This is the first time that Old Jack has seen such a maverick nobleman.
Li Si didn't care about Old Jack's weird look. Anyway, this guy looked disgusted at everyone.
When Li Si came over just now, he clearly felt that Lange Street was much deserted than before.
It's not that all the shops here are closed, there are very few shops open on the whole street.
There are a lot fewer homeless people lying under the eaves and people snooping in the dark.
I don't know if they all disappeared as the intelligence said, or if they were afraid and ran away to other places.
These are not something Li Si can take care of right now, and he doesn't have the leisure to do so.
Li Si rummaged through the merchandise piled aside by Old Jack, taking out some special materials and putting them aside from time to time.
Although in the First Magic Workshop, the academy and the kingdom will provide a lot of magic materials, Li Si can also use some of them, but some unpopular ones need to be prepared by Li Si himself.
Instead of going to the Chamber of Commerce to entrust the purchase, it is better to come to Old Jack to look for it.
After all, Old Jack's goods come from a wide range of sources, including all kinds of weird materials. Many of them are black goods and the prices are quite cheap.
While Li Si was collecting various precious materials, Ashley gently opened the door and walked in.
Seeing Li Si's eyes looking at her, Ashley said hello obediently:
“Hello, Brother Li Si!”
“Hello, Ashley.”
Seeing this little east egg, Li Si also smiled and said hello.
However, Li Si soon noticed the difference in Ashley. Her aura was more condensed than last time, and even had a faint edge.
Is it true that you have just become a professional and you still can't control your breath well?
Speaking of which, why did old Jack start training Ashley so early?
Li Si remembered that after the player appeared in the previous life, Ashley was still an ordinary little girl.
"snort!"
Old Jack saw that Li Si seemed to have noticed something, snorted coldly, and pulled Ashley aside.
Putting on an expression as if he wanted to drive people away, Old Jack said impatiently:
“Are you done? You're procrastinating, don't waste my time.”
Li Si didn't care and put some special materials he selected on the table in front of Old Jack.
They are all magic gems, potion materials and precious metals.
“I took a lot, I'll give you a thousand gold coins!”
Old Jack was a little surprised. This was already a big deal for him.
Although Li Si felt a little sore, he still took out bags of gold coins from the storage ring and handed them to Old Jack.
There is no way, these are all necessary materials for research, and he has already saved a lot.
If purchased normally, the price is estimated to be about 1,500 gold coins.
Had it not been for the emergency investment he received recently, Li Si wouldn't have been able to buy so much.
With the materials in hand, Li Si was not in a hurry to leave and asked with a smile:
“Old Jack, it seems that Lange Street is not very peaceful recently?”
“So what.”
Old Jack replied impatiently, but as he was still counting the gold coins, he couldn't just chase Li Si away.
“Aren't I worried about little Ashley's safety?”
Lee Si smiled and nodded towards Ashley.
“You don't have to worry about it!”
Old Jack put down the gold coins. At this moment, he no longer planned to continue counting. Just use less. The most important thing was to get rid of this annoying guy in front of him.
“It's not easy to say, after all, you are old.”
Li Si said with a chuckle.
"You're old? Do you think you're better than me?" Old Jack smiled angrily. How dare this silver-level boy dare to challenge himself like this?
You don't know my strength?
Or, is it just based on the courage given to him by the gold-level warrior who is not here?
Old Jack is going to teach this kid a lesson, and don't stick to his apprentice's side for nothing.
“I advise you not to do anything.”
Li Si seemed to see that Old Jack was about to make a move, and reminded:
“Although you are a gold-level assassin, I still have some confidence.”
Old Jack calmed down immediately after hearing what Li Si said.
This guy knows his own strength, but he is still so calm?
Bluffing me?
No, he could have taken the golden warrior with him, but he didn't.
So, he is very confident now and thinks I can't hurt him?
Are there any life-saving tools?
Old Jack looked at Li Si, with thousands of thoughts going through his mind, and said calmly:
“Boy, if you have any questions, just tell me, otherwise you won't be welcome here.”
“Nothing special, I just want to discuss cooperation with you, Old Jack.”
Li Si said with a smile.
This was what he had planned before. By cooperating with Old Jack, he could get the materials and magic props he needed.
On the other hand, it can be used as a means to attract players.
You must know that in the previous life, Old Jack's shop was very well-known among the players.
Players don't care if what Old Jack sells is illegal, as long as it's cheap and easy to use
Of course, Li Si only intends to cooperate, not directly drag Old Jack into the Chamber of Commerce.
The most important thing about this small shop is actually Old Jack himself.
Old Jack can be said to have many connections, and being able to get so many black goods of unknown origin fully demonstrates his ability and connections.
The chamber of commerce established by Li Si cannot sell these things openly, so it is better to cooperate with Old Jack to expand the influence of the chamber of commerce among the player group.
However, Li Si's idea was very good, but Old Jack's rejection was more straightforward.
“I don't need any cooperation.”
Li Si nodded carelessly. He didn't think he would obediently agree if he just talked about Old Jack. This time he just bought a foreshadowing. Anyway, there was still time.
“Whenever you change your mind, you can come to me at No. 36 Face Street.”
“You too, Ashley, just come to me if you need anything!”
Li Si reached out to touch Ashley's cute little head, but Old Jack slapped her away.
“Okay, okay, you can go.”
Old Jack didn't think he would ask Li Si for anything.
After all, he was well-informed, but he could not remember any great nobleman named Kane.
Ashley on the side quietly nodded to Li Si, indicating that she understood.
Ashley has a good impression of this big brother who has always been gentle.
Nobles are not necessarily bad people!
When Li Si saw this, Ashley waved her hand, put all the purchased materials into the ring, and left Old Jack's shop.
After Li Si left, Old Jack thought more and more wrongly, always feeling that he had forgotten something.
With Ashley's curious eyes, she took out a pile of written notes from the wooden cabinet behind her and looked at them carefully.
This is the news that Old Jack regularly buys from the gangsters in Bright Light City. Most of them are of little use, but some of them are helpful to Old Jack's "business".
Suddenly, he picked up a relatively new piece of paper in his hand, his movements froze in mid-air, and his expression was a little uncertain.
Ashley stood up on tiptoes and took a look curiously. Under Old Jack's careful instruction, she could basically recognize the words written on the note.
“According to intelligence, the court viscount Lis Kane is likely to be accepted as a disciple by the legendary mage [Flame of Judgment] Fran Stephens.”
Please give me a monthly pass, dear readers!
Thanks(ω)
