Chapter 256 Secret Venue (please vote for me!)
Chen Lun spent another day in the basement making wine.
So far, there are fifteen bottles of finished wine stored in the Blood Poetry Ring, all of which are of "fine quality" level.
All the unused extraordinary materials were given to Floy.
Including the finished products I got from her this time, I now have more than thirty "defective" items in my inventory, all of which are of average effectiveness and high cost.
These monsters are all D-level and come in all kinds of shapes.
In Chen Lun's view, their usable value is not high, so they are referred to as "lese".
Just wait until you have time, and then use the vest of Silver Pot Knight Fulun to put them in jars and sell them to players.
Can something that benefits players be called blind box clearance?
Only by passing on losses can we have more capital to purchase raw materials and produce more high-quality products.
This creates a virtuous cycle of eating more fish.
In the end, it’s not the players who benefit.
Doing business with conscience has always been Mr. Jack’s life creed.
I don’t know who Fulun is.
Of course, among the weird things produced by Floy, there are also a few that are pretty good.
Two of them were specially taken out by Chen Lun and placed together with the [D-level magic object-Surge Medal] and [D-level magic object-Spear of Order] that he had eliminated.
He plans to distribute them to team members to increase everyone's combat effectiveness.
Those two things are respectively [D-level magic object-Flame Tattoo Needle] and [D-level magic object-Paul's Friday].
The former can give the user a tattoo, increase fixed attribute values, and store the power of fire. The latter is a retro-style long-barreled flintlock gun with an ammunition capacity of five rounds. The gun itself can add the power of the moon to the bullets, which is quite powerful.
Chen Lun completed all the trivial matters at the manor and asked Connie to seize the time and complete the finishing work as soon as possible. After notifying Floy, he entered the spirit world.
A buzzing sound.
A pale blue blur covers the present world.
The address of the "secret venue" that Rosa left in the letter also included the spiritual world coordinates of Huangtie City. Chen Lun can pass through this anchor point and directly use the spirit world to travel there, saving time.
If we take the train, it will take several days, and we might even miss the venue.
After just a few minutes.
Yellow Iron City.
The buildings in this city are generally not high and have a short architectural style.
In a remote alley among the pale yellow city clusters.
A figure emerged out of thin air and walked out of the "air".
It was Chen Lun who had finished traveling through the spiritual world and returned to the living world.
‘This is Huangtie City...’
Chen Lun walked out of the alley and looked at the carriages and pedestrians on the street.
He has been to this city before, but he only took the players through here in order to conquer the three Red Apple Church town branches near Huangtie City.
So for Chen Lun, this city is still very unfamiliar.
He walked to the right along the street and after walking for some distance, he hailed a carriage.
With the sound of a bell, the bell hanging in front of the carriage swayed, and the carriage stopped in front of Chen Lun.
"Good day, sir."
After the coachman greeted Chen Lun, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his sweat.
This is a slightly fat man wearing a cheap suit and a top hat.
Chen Lun noticed that the handkerchief the other party used to wipe his sweat was sewn with patches and printed with cute cartoon flowers. He couldn't help secretly guessing that it might have been given to him by the coachman's daughter.
"Good day."
Chen Lun responded with a smile and then boarded the carriage.
The driver turned slightly sideways and asked respectfully through the window of the carriage:
"Where are you going, sir?"
"Sea Pines Department Store."
Chen Lun named a location.
"Okay sir, please sit tight. This journey will take about twenty minutes."
The slightly fat coachman said.
Immediately, he shouted and gently shook the reins.
The windlass......
The two horses snorted and started running.
During the whole process, the coachman was extremely careful with Chen Lun. Ordinary people like him who transport passengers around all day long have very accurate eyesight.
I saw that the young man who got on the bus this time was wearing a high-end black dress and holding a silver cane that was as exquisite as a work of art. His words and deeds were confident and elegant, unlike ordinary people, so he was naturally respectful and did not dare to offend.
Chen Lun didn't think too much and just leaned against the inner wall of the carriage, observing the scenery and people along the way outside the window.
The entire journey was silent.
The carriage arrived at its destination smoothly.
Stopped at the entrance of a shopping mall where people were coming and going. The place looked very lively.
"Sir, Haisong Department Store has arrived."
"Thank you."
Chen Lun opened the carriage door and got out of the car holding his hat.
After handing the fare to the coachman, he turned and left.
"Hey sir, you gave me too much!"
The fat coachman wanted to get out of the car and catch up, but saw the young gentleman waving his hands without looking back, as if he didn't care much.
The coachman looked down at the two silver coins in his hands. They were several times the fare.
"What a kind gentleman, thank you, may the sun shine on your future."
The fat coachman silently made a sun prayer gesture and expressed his gratitude to the gentleman.
Chen Lun held his silver cane and walked towards the department store while observing his surroundings.
The department store in front of you only has three floors. The decoration is simple and not luxurious.
The pedestrians passing by did not look very wealthy, and some were even poorly dressed and had patched hats.
Chen Lun guessed that this department store was dealing with middle and lower-class civilians in the city. Products should be of high quality and low price, otherwise they will not attract so many ordinary people.
‘The secret venue held by the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce is on the top floor of the department store, in a corner room. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
'It starts at two o'clock in the afternoon. ’
Just flip through it.
A card appeared between his fingers, it was an "Ace of Clubs".
"It's one o'clock in the afternoon, is there another hour?"
Chen Lun murmured.
Since mastering divination, he rarely uses timing tools. Although there is always a pocket watch in the blood poem ring, he prefers to use extraordinary means to integrate them into daily life.
It can also be said to be a way to increase proficiency.
This is different from directly adding points to upgrade skills, but another way to combine skills with instinct.
Go into the mall.
Chen Lun didn't stay too long, nor did he visit the shops.
After going straight to the third floor, he saw a secret symbol the size of a fingernail in a corner.
This is a secret code.
Then, following the code, he stopped at the door of the third shop from the bottom.
It seemed to be a small grocery store, but it looked closed. The door was tightly closed, and there was a transfer notice posted on the door.
Tuk...tuk...tuk!
Chen Lun began to knock on the door, knocking at a rhythm of two slow and two fast.
Then he knocked back and forth several times with three fast and two slow rhythms.
Wait a while.
The door opened a crack. Chen Lun held on to his hat, pushed the door open and walked in.
Two young men who looked like waiters were standing by the door.
Chen Lun showed them the silver ring coin.
"Dear guest, please come with me."
The two of them caressed their chests and saluted, and one of them took Chen Lun in as he spoke.
It's a little dark in here, and there isn't much light.
But after passing through a narrow passage, Chen Lun came to a spacious room, about the size of a university lecture hall.
There are three large and bright chandeliers on the ceiling here, and the host on the stage is communicating in a low voice with several staff members of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.
There are not many chairs under the stage, only about twenty.
It was a bit early now, and the guests who were already seated were in groups of twos and threes, each silent and not communicating with each other.
Chen Lun found a chair at random and sat on it.
Time passes.
Senior members attending this secret meeting arrived one after another.
Start on time at two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Dear guests, welcome to this secret meeting. I am the host Yuri."
The host, who is in his thirties, is wearing a crisp white suit and talking on the stage.
“Without further ado, let’s start today’s transaction directly…”
The first item up for auction was not an extraordinary object, but an antique vase from the early Fifth Age, which was an object from the time when the Trisuul Empire was first established.
It also has a history of thousands of years.
Chen Lun was not interested, and glanced at the far left corner.
There, there were two familiar figures.
Viscount Pompeii and Mr. Siebert, one on the left and one on the right, sat next to an old white-haired man.
‘Why did they come here together? ’
Chen Lun was a little confused.
It had been a long time since he had been to Pompeii Manor, and he knew very little about the current situation of Rebecca's family. The impression of Mr. Siebert still remains on the orchid statue left by Mr. Byers when he went to the foil fighting club.
It was just that Mr. Siebert was drunk at that time and uttered the name of Viscount Pompeii.
‘Do they really know each other? But who is that old man...? Viscount Pompeii and Mr. Siebert treated him with great respect. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
There were many people interested in the antique vase. After several biddings, it was finally bought by a thin middle-aged man for 860 gold pounds.
The second and third items were also rare treasures, but Chen Lun had seen many such things in the Viscount Pompeii's collection room and had no interest in them.
It was not until the fourth item that something extraordinary finally appeared.
"This is a mysterious book that contains profound knowledge. It has been confirmed by the appraisers of our Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce. After reading and understanding the knowledge in the book, it is very likely to enter a deeper extraordinary realm."
Host Yuri said.
Two staff members behind him wore white gloves and lifted an ancient tome.
"This book is called "Keyhole". It can be preliminarily judged that it is a mysterious book of the conspiracy faction. Interested guests can take a photo and study it slowly.
According to the request of the client, the starting price is five hundred gold pounds, and each increase in price shall not be less than ten gold pounds. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a man held up a sign.
"Five hundred and twenty gold pounds!"
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
He looked at the man and activated Peeping Life. As expected, he was a [Sequence 9-thief].
‘For an extraordinary person, it is easy to tell that that book contains extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 8-Locksmith]. It just so happens that Golov and Barton's promotion knowledge has not yet been obtained, so let's take this opportunity to get it. ’
Chen Lun secretly said.
The extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 8] in my hands now is only the moon, stars, flesh and blood, nature and destiny.
It’s not a bad thing to put the “puzzle” of the conspiracy in front of you.
"Five hundred and fifty gold pounds."
Chen Lun held up the sign.
The man bidding turned his head and looked at Chen Lun.
He seemed to see that Chen Lun was also an extraordinary person, and his eyes were full of vigilance.
At the same time, Viscount Pompeii and Mr. Siebert heard the familiar voice and cast their eyes at Chen Lun, showing surprised expressions in unison.
"Mr. Jack?!"
Viscount Pompeii said in surprise.
Siebert frowned and asked Pompeii:
"Pompei, do you also know Mr. Jack?"
Viscount Pompeii glanced at him and said coldly:
"None of your business, Siebert."
Immediately, he showed a surprised smile again and said to the old man in the middle:
"Mr. Maledice, that Mr. Jack is the young man I recommended to you before. He is very capable and knowledgeable. He can definitely help you solve your problems and get rid of the illness in little Rui!" (End of Chapter)
