Chapter 45 Chen Lun, the ancestor of tomb robbers
It really is a mysterious book! ?
Chen Lun was surprised.
At the same time, he had already made up his mind to get this book.
Although I currently do not have the mysterious material of the [Earth Faction], I cannot copy this mysterious knowledge of the extraordinary sequence path.
But this does not prevent him from "stocking up".
When the materials are ready in the future, they can be transcribed.
"Mr. Taut, is this book really not for sale?"
"I've said it many times, I won't sell it."
The old man became a little impatient and stretched out his hand to signal Chen Lun to return the book to him.
"Give me the money back."
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows, unwilling to be outdone.
The old man was a little angry, blowing his beard and staring at the young man.
"We agreed that we would only take a look!
By the way, you guys must have taken a fancy to a cemetery in Amber City and want to rob it? ”
The old man looked at Chen Lun with suspicion.
"Mr. Taut, although you are older than me, you cannot use this to insult my character."
Chen Lun looked contemptuous.
"You should be able to see that I am not so poor that I need to rely on tomb robbing to make a living."
The old man didn't take his words to heart at all. He held up his glasses and said slyly:
"It's hard to say. Maybe you are just a psychopath and simply want to satisfy your own desires by digging other people's graves."
"..."
Chen Lun finally figured it out. I'm afraid the old man wasn't worried about him doing bad things, but simply didn't want to sell it to him.
"Mr. Taut, tell me directly, what do you need to do before you are willing to sell me the book."
Chen Lun said bluntly.
Until the end, he was unwilling to use extraordinary means to make a profit. Although this old man is hateful, he is not willing to bully the weak and rob him of his belongings.
Mr. Taut chuckled twice.
"I heard that your kid has been dining at Caroline's place? Well... I kind of want to try her cooking."
Immediately his expression straightened.
"You guys should understand what I'm saying, right!?"
"Got it."
Chen Lun nodded, turned around and walked out of the bookstore.
Just as the old man began to imagine the scene of having dinner with Miss Caroline, the door of the bookstore opened again.
Chen Lun is back.
But this time, he was followed by Mrs. Caroline.
"Oh, Mr. Taote, I heard that you want to eat the afternoon tea I made?"
Mrs. Caroline was holding a plate in her hand, which contained a few leftover baked biscuits and some scraps.
"But it's a pity that this is all that's left."
Mr. Taut's face immediately stiffened.
But he quickly regained his appearance as an old gentleman, stroked his reading glasses, showed an elegant smile, and took the plate from Mrs. Caroline's hand.
"Oh, beautiful Miss Caroline, yes, I...I'm very hungry."
Turn around again.
The boy had taken his book and disappeared without a trace.
Even the gold coin on the table was inexplicably missing.
……
Chen Lun was in a good mood.
In his hand, he held Mr. Taote's "Future Home Selection Guide."
I don’t know why, but I can always imagine a picture in my mind——
A group of players carrying shovels posted on the forum to gather, and soon they appeared in small groups in the cemetery late at night.
While digging in the soil, they talked about topics such as "making a fortune", "making the list" and "Wuhu taking off".
There is a cheerful atmosphere among the tombs.
The nobles were anxious, the police officers were under great pressure, and the Historical and Ritual Society was confused.
Where did this group of unscrupulous rats come from? ?
"I can't control this..."
Chen Lun whistled and put away the "Mausoleum Art Appreciation Collection" properly.
This book can represent the ticket to an extraordinary sequence, and with his sub-job of [Recorder], he is a hen that can lay golden eggs!
When he went up to the third floor, he suddenly heard the quarrel between Connie and her father, Mr. Hood, again.
"I need more 'fruit nectar'! Can't you buy it for me quickly!?"
came a weak but irritable voice.
“Dad, you really can’t eat that thing anymore!
I've looked into it and people who have used that drug have had bad outcomes. ”
Connie retorted.
"What do you know? It's because they didn't continue taking it. You can't stop taking 'Fruit Nectar'!"
"But the family has no money, Dad."
Connie's tone seemed a little helpless.
"If you don't have money, just make money! Do you still expect me to go out and make money now!?"
"Oh God, how could you do this to me..."
Connie ran out of the house sadly again.
She bumped into Chen Lun in the corridor, looking a little embarrassed.
Chen Lun handed her a handkerchief.
"...Thank you."
Connie took it and lowered her head to wipe the corners of her eyes.
"Connie, use this money to buy medicine for your father."
Chen Lun handed over a gold pound.
"Did you hear everything, Mr. Jack...?"
Connie shook her head and refused, gritted her teeth and said:
"I won't give Dad those Red Apple Church medicines anymore."
Chen Lun sighed secretly.
Her father's condition was probably not too long.
Not to mention that I have been deeply poisoned by "Fruit Honey", and I am afraid that if I suddenly withdraw from it, I will die suddenly in a short time.
But this was Connie's family matter, and he couldn't say much as an outsider.
"Sorry, Mr. Jack, I...I want to go for a walk."
Connie felt a little disappointed.
Chen Lun stepped aside and Connie walked out in silence.
Watching her back disappear from sight, he shook his head slightly, returned to the fourth floor and opened the door.
Seeing him coming back, Floy got up from the sofa and handed over a letter.
"This is?"
Chen Lun took the letter and was a little confused.
"Mrs. Caroline sent it, saying it was given to you by a strange man."
Floy explained.
Chen Lun had already vaguely guessed that it was probably sent by a boy from the Iron Fist Gang.
He returned to his room with the letter, sat at the table and opened it.
"——Dear Sir, there is a message from Butler Federman that he will come again tonight.
If you need it, you can be there in person and I will cooperate with all your actions. ——Your humble follower, Gary”
Chen Lun crumpled the letter into a ball, rubbed it in his palms, and turned it into paper scraps and sprinkled them in the trash can.
He pondered for a moment.
Since this Federman is Congressman Daniel's butler, he should have a lot of information. If you can control him, you may be able to get more inside information.
If we learn about Representative Daniel’s purpose through him, we might be able to use these clues to find “Big Eater” Dolly...
Chen Lun wasted no more time.
He said hello to Floy and went out again.
Taking advantage of the gradually darkening sky, Chen Lun hid his figure and quickly headed towards the beach.
Not long after, he came to the door of Flower and Bird Tavern again.
Push the door open and enter.
The boss lady with heavy makeup changed her face when she saw Chen Lun. Immediately, he thought of something again, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
She walked over with a forced smile.
"Your Excellency... Boss Gary is waiting for you in the inner courtyard."
Chen Lun noticed the retro walkie-talkie in her hand and showed a polite but strange smile.
"Why don't you inform him? Don't worry, no mice will come to cause trouble this time."
The landlady's eyes suddenly widened. (End of chapter)
