Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 29 Black Market

Captain Kay is a nice guy. He was probably afraid that Su Lun would make a detour, so he explained in detail.

However, Kai didn't know that Su Lun's awakened talent was not the D-level [Hawkeye], but the S-level dual talent; he also didn't know that he didn't want to advance to an ordinary job, but already had a very good fit. High gold employment materials [rune puppet], you need to find a rare job "Puppet Master".

Therefore, the job-hunting advice that applies to ordinary people is not suitable for Su Lun.

Indeed, as Kay said, choosing alchemy cultivation equipment requires a high degree of fit between one's profession and talent, so that the combat effectiveness can reach the effect of 1+1\u003e2.

The melee system chooses the growth equipment that enhances the physical body, the assassin system chooses the agility enhancement, and the magic system is all kinds of ways to improve the efficiency of spellcasting.

But Su Lun was originally following the career route of skill + agility double growth, and the cultivation equipment was quite applicable, but it was difficult to get a high degree of fit.

From the current point of view, except for the silver-ranked [Thousand Killing Wings] breeding equipment, which has a relatively high degree of fit, the other black iron breeding equipment that can be touched are somewhat "wasted" of their own attributes.

But he thought, what if there is something more suitable?

Su Lun didn't worry too much about this issue.

There is no need to worry about the blueprints for alchemy cultivation, because that is something that you will only face after you become a professional.

First of all, he had to make some preparations for his "inauguration".

Inaugural "professionals" not only need exclusive inauguration materials, but also need some things to arrange transformation formations. Such as magic crystal, star antimony, mercury salt. There are also various powdered metal media such as copper and gold.

After tossing all night, the hustle and bustle of Green Street gradually dissipated.

As the most lively night market block in Nancheng District, the morning when the city wakes up is the night here.

It is worth mentioning that there is no sun and moon in the dungeon, and the signs that distinguish day from night are the fog and lights in the city.

At night, fog will fill the entire city, and the lighthouses installed by the municipal office will also be turned off to save energy. During the day, the fog clears and lights illuminate the streets.

6:55 am.

The members of the Cross Society on Green Street are still in Wenrou Township, but Su Lun has already gone out.

Because there are a large number of steam boilers in operation in the city's factories, the smoke generated by the burning of coal mines makes the fog appear light gray, and there is a strong smell in the air.

At this moment, there are still five minutes before the departure of the city train, and there are not many pedestrians on the street.

Su Lun changed into a big black windbreaker, and the bowler hat he wore covered most of his face, and he was also squeezed into the waiting queue. The breeze poured into the collar, and there was a slight coolness.

"Jinglingling~"

Not long after, after a crisp copper bell, the steam locomotive "wowed" came.

Like taking the bus in the previous life, Su Lun also squeezed on it.

Arrive at the station and get off.

The Byrd block in Beicheng District is the intersection of the four urban districts. The X-shaped intersection where the two blocks intersect is also the boundary line of the three gangs. This place does not belong to the territory of the three major gangs, and the North City Public Security Department cannot reach out. It belongs to a "three no matter" zone, and various forces are intertwined.

And under the crossroads, there is an inconspicuous alley leading to the ground - "Shadow Alley".

There is a professional black market named after this alley in the underground.

There are underground pipes extending in all directions, connected to the complex sewer system of Old Lyndon. Even if it is besieged by a large army, the people inside can still escape from the underground tunnel.

Therefore, due to the special geographical environment, the largest underground black market in the outer city has gradually formed here.

"Shadow Alley" is the favorite place for deserters and explorers to get together. They will bring back the wilderness hunting harvest from outside the city to sell here, such as cursed materials, alchemy scrolls, ores, rare cursed objects, and many strange ancient alchemy products.

This is also the extraordinary market that professionals in the outer city like to visit most, because there are many products that are not commonly seen in the market, or even unavailable.

Here, as long as you have money, those black market shopkeepers can always satisfy you.

Many hidden good things, such as black goods sold by thieves and stolen goods stolen by murderers, can be seen in some small shops in Shadow Alley.

Famous guns, swords, advanced potions, alchemy bullets, steam machinery, alchemy blueprints, and even military-modified prosthetics from the inner city, advanced alchemy materials and top-secret information that nobles can only enjoy.

It's all here.

Things that cannot be seen are always hidden in dark corners.

There is only a dim gas lamp ten meters away, and the light is dim.

Su Lun walked through a long underground passage, walked about one or two hundred meters underground, and finally came to a huge underground gap.

This "Shadow Alley" is not a flat block, but a three-dimensional building complex.

The ancient sewer pipes are neatly arranged on the rock wall, and the end of the pipes leads to the endless darkness deep underground. People relied on pipes to build some small shops with steel skeletons. Just like the "Hanging Temple" in Su Lun's previous life, it is accessible by various crude steel structure stairs and bridges.

Su Lun stood at the intersection of entering the block, looking at the dark and endless abyss in front of him, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.

Without much delay, he went straight to the shopping street.

There was a bang bang bang sound when the foot stepped on the steel plate road.

Probably because it was still early, there were not many customers in Shadow Alley, which had just opened.

Su Lun looked over.

Most of these shops are only a few square meters, and there are some materials hanging on the door, announcing what the shop sells. Occasionally, a few of them will write a small sign with charcoal and hang it at the door, "Black Witch's Alchemy Material Shop", "Starry Bookstore", "Giant Machinery Shop".

Interestingly, Su Lun actually saw his "missing notice" on the bulletin board in the street.

No, it's exactly the original owner's.

Although it was not a wanted warrant, the photo said that if you provide clues, you can get 100,000 lisos. This is already the reward price for a B-rank wanted criminal.

Very tempting.

This is a bulletin board for posting information on purchasing materials. Half of the space is filled with information on various purchasing materials, and a code for the transaction address is also left.

Only those who often hang out in the black market know what those codes represent.

On the other side, there is a page where information merchants exchange information. It's like a small advertisement section in a newspaper, densely filled with various "missing notices", bounty rewards, and transaction codes.

And the A-level wanted criminal "Scorpion" Albuquerque who died in the fighting field yesterday was also at the forefront. But on his photo, a red cross has already been drawn at this moment.

Su Lun only glanced at it, but didn't look further.

The most wanted man on the list is the brown-haired teenager Fick Regardy, so what's the matter with Su Lun, who is bald?

The appearance was born from the heart, and the skin of a soul was changed. No matter the temperament or the facial features, they are more and more different from the original owner.

He didn't think the bounty hunters would find him based on this photo alone.

In addition to the fixed shops in "Shadow Alley", there are also some antique dealers who claim to be wild hunters on both sides of the narrow road.

They randomly tore out a piece of rag and put a few things on it, saying that they were ancient treasures recovered from a certain ruin.

This made Su Lun feel like visiting the Panjiayuan Antique Market in the previous life. All kinds of strange and weird gadgets look intimidating, but when the pupil of omniscience sees them, they are all "fakes"!

Although there is the "Pupil of Omniscience", Su Lun didn't think he could pick up the leaks, and he didn't waste time to identify those fakes one by one.

Extraordinary items have very special energy fluctuations, especially like cursed materials, even a layman can feel that things are not simple.

Moreover, alchemist is also a very knowledgeable profession. It can be said that almost every hunting team has "appraisers" who are proficient in archaeology and mysticism.

It is possible for one person to miss it, but for everyone to miss it, the possibility is almost zero.

There are good things on the black market, but you definitely have to pay for them. You don’t need to pick up the leaks yourself, if you want to buy it sincerely, just ask the store owner, and he will mysteriously bring out the good things that are not on the counter.

After all, his arrest warrant was still hanging on the wall, and Su Lun had no intention of wandering around the market.

The purpose of his coming to the black market this time is to buy some formation materials for "employment".

Kai had told him before that "Rosen's Alchemy Shop" had a good reputation and the items were of high quality.

After walking for a few minutes, he found the unremarkable shop in a corner of the market.

There is a quaint brass bell hanging at the door of the shop, and you have to bump into it no matter how you walk in through the narrow shop door.

With the sound of a jingle, the owner knows that a guest has arrived.

The store is small, with glass counters on three sides, and dense small lattice closets on the walls, and many display material samples are hung with ropes in the air.

When the bell rang, an old man with glasses who was arranging materials appeared behind the counter, "Guest, what materials do you need to buy?"

Su Lun glanced at him, without further ado, took out the list of materials, and said, "I want six white crystals, thirty grams."

But just at the beginning, the old man looked surprised, as if he heard it wrong: "You want white crystal?"

Su Lun: "Why, don't you have any in your store?"

The old man explained: "No, distinguished guest, I don't mean anything else. I mean, advanced 'professionals' don't need high-purity crystals at all, ordinary citrine is enough."

The shop owner sells alchemy materials, so he naturally knows that most of the crystals he buys are for the purpose of setting up the alchemy conversion matrix for his job.

He sells dozens of crystals a month, and more than 95% of the people buy citrine with impurities, and a few of them buy blue crystals with higher purity.

As for high-purity white crystal? No one in the outer city can use that kind of high-end stuff.

Not only is the price expensive, it is a waste to use this kind of high-grade material to arrange the ordinary inauguration transition array.

So he preconceived that the guest in front of him had made a "slip of the tongue".

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I'm sure what I need are six white crystals."

Su Lun said in a deep voice.

It's not that he is ignorant, but that he already knows a lot about alchemy and knows that he needs this kind of material.

For an ordinary inauguration ceremony, citrine with impurities is indeed enough.

But the [Rune Doll] in his hand has reached the gold-level inauguration material quality, so it needs the same high-level materials to arrange the conversion array to succeed in inauguration.

"Oh, that's how it is"

The old man glanced at him and said nothing more.

He took out something from his personal storage ring, and introduced: "It happened that I received a few yuan from a group of wild hunters yesterday. It was originally intended to be sold to the big chamber of commerce in the inner city. If you want it, you can sell it." Here it is. However, the price is not cheap. Six dollars is twelve thousand lisos."

Su Lun looked at the six palm-sized crystals on the tray and nodded in satisfaction.

Although he doesn't have the ability to judge the purity, the pupil of omniscience shows that the name of this thing is [high-purity white crystal].

The old man asked again: "What else do you need?"

"Fifteen grams of antimony from Snowflake Star, 80 milliliters of mercury salt liquid above grade IV, eight parts of refined red copper powder, two hundred grams of lizard powder aged at least 30 years, and green awn crystal"

Su Lun didn't hide anything, and directly reported the list of materials he needed.

He knew very well that there was no need to hide his purpose at all.

These material merchants sold too many materials and were extremely shrewd. As soon as you opened your mouth, he actually guessed something.

If you really want to disperse the various stores to buy, the possibility of being targeted is even greater.

"They are all very high-end materials. If you go to other stores, you may not be able to get them all at once. It happens that my store still has some stock."

The old man muttered, obviously guessing that the guest in front of him planned to arrange a very advanced conversion formation.

However, professional businessmen will not inquire about the secrets of customers, this is the rule of the black market.

He didn't hesitate, took out various materials one by one, weighed them on the scale, and quoted the price: "A total of 42,000 lisos."

Su Lun listened to the quotation, took out the bonus that was not warmed up expressionlessly, and said, "This is money, you order it."

A few hours ago, Kai told him that when he took office, he spent eight thousand lisuo on the purchase of formation materials.

Now, Su Lun has spent five times more.

The good news, though, is that everything is now ready for employment.
