Chapter 55 The Mysterious Apothecary

Su Lun didn't intend to be a bad person, nor did he intend to be grateful from anyone.

He left the bakery, but he didn't expect that the tomboy from before would chase him out after taking a few steps with the bread in his arms.

"Sir, please wait..."

Su Lun stopped when he heard someone calling him from behind.

Probably because people who belong to gangs have an aggressive aura, the tomboy looked at the expressionless Su Lun and instinctively took a half step back.

She said: "Sir, thank you for your generosity. I...we really need this food."

"Um."

Su Lun glanced at her and nodded, accepting the verbal thank you.

He could naturally see that this sallow-looking tomboy needed food, no, to be precise, everyone in the slums needed food.

Su Lun originally had no intention of staying longer, but at this time, the tomboy spoke up, appearing a little incoherent because of his panic: "Well, sir... we didn't follow you on purpose, we just watched you rent a house before...

"

Su Lun frowned as he heard this.

The tomboy also seemed to be shocked, and quickly explained: "You were deceived by that Grandet! He definitely didn't tell you that anyone died in that building. It was a haunted house and could not be rented out. Two

A few months ago, there was a blind man who went in and never came out, and there was also a blind man in the first half of the year..."

As she said this, she was like a frightened rabbit, and ran away without waiting for Suellen to ask.

It turns out that you chased me out because you wanted to tell yourself the news?

A piece of bread in exchange for a message.

Su Lun looked thoughtful as he listened.

Someone had died in the house, so the news didn't surprise him much. If he were an ordinary person, something would definitely happen if he lived in such a high-distortion environment.

Otherwise the rent wouldn't be so cheap.

But what the little girl means is that more than one person died in that house?

From this point of view, the landlord is still an unscrupulous profiteer.

The landlord did deliberately conceal part of the truth, but for Su Lun, if it was just due to the strong dark spiritual power, it wouldn't be too troublesome.

But maybe the person who died was not an ordinary person, but a professional?

After all, it is rare to find such a suitable property, and Su Lun will not give up just because someone has died.

He also felt that before moving in next time, he might have to use his omniscient eyes to take a closer look at what was weird about that house.

.......

The agreed time for the transaction is twelve noon.

Su Lun went to the hotel and changed into a windbreaker suit that went to the black market.

The trading location was an abandoned warehouse on Ginkgo Street. He had gone there for a walk when he was wandering around before. It was sparsely populated, so it was indeed suitable for some shady transactions.

The mysterious stall owner was obviously very cautious. He chose a place with complex buildings, making it easy to escape in case of emergencies.

At 11:55, Su Lun arrived outside the warehouse on time.

As a gang member, he didn't feel much pressure to come to these remote places. On the contrary, he felt a little surprised when he saw the few young men pretending to be gang members.

These guys were wearing old windbreakers that obviously didn't fit, and black hats. They had their hands on their chests and looked like they were about to pull out a gun. They almost didn't have the words "We are gangsters" plastered on their foreheads.

It seems like they want to overwhelm Su Lun, a real gang member?

"The people I'm trading with are actually a bunch of young men?"

Su Lun's eyesight allowed him to easily catch a total of six people coming into the abandoned factory.

In addition to the potion stall owner who was still wearing a black cloak, there were five other thugs who seemed to be from the town. The clothes they wore seemed to have been stolen somewhere, and they were obviously one size too big.

But the cold expression, the silent aura, and the action of touching the gun are very much like the scene of a gangster transaction in a TV series.

Of course, without the details of the trembling feet, Su Lun felt that these people really looked like that.

But he felt that the action of these guys pulling out guns was probably scary, and most likely they wouldn't be able to pull out guns from their trench coats.

Although firearms are everywhere in Old Town, for the people in the slums, it is better to exchange for a piece of bread with such an iron lump on their backs.

Of course, even if there is a gun, there is no threat at all in front of a firearms expert.

And after Su Lun observed it, he was surprised to find that the world is really small.

If you look closely, aren't the two men in trench coats the same two thieves in the bakery that morning?

"..."

Su Lun suddenly felt that the mysterious atmosphere of the transaction was gone.

If he hadn't known that the stall owner really had a top-notch potion, he would have definitely thought it was a prank.

.......

Su Lun also obviously looked at the other party's movements of relief when they found out that they were coming alone.

The man in black robe said solemnly: "Did you bring the money?"

After Su Lun guessed the other party's identity, he wanted to take him seriously, but he felt that he couldn't be serious anymore.

Although his face was covered, when he saw it with his true eyes, he was indeed the [semi-distorted human being] from the black market.

"Bring it."

Su Lun didn't see the goods, but he also took out the bag containing 200,000 cash and handed it over directly.

He was sure that the other party would not play any tricks. Of course, he was also confident that he would get his money back with a single headshot before the other party took advantage of him.

The man in black robe took the money bag with a happy face.

He asked: "What potion do you need?"

"I am very interested in your potions. You have also seen my sincerity. We think we can cooperate for a long time. I have channels to sell goods..."

Su Lun said straight to the point that what he wanted was not a few potions, but an opportunity to make money through long-term cooperation.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the cloaked man interrupted him with a very decisive tone: "No, if there is no situation, I will not sell my potion. Our transaction is limited to this one time.

.”

"..."

When Su Lun heard this, he frowned slightly.

A one-time sale?

The thoughts in his mind started spinning instantly.

He is now more certain that these potions were made by this cloaked man. This means that this guy is at least at the level of a "senior pharmacist". And this kind of technical talent, even in the inner city, is an elite class that is not short of money.

.

You don’t want to rely on potions to compete, but perhaps the more important reason is that you are afraid that selling potions will attract others’ attention?

Really a wanted criminal?

It is normal for gangsters to be wanted, but it is intriguing that pharmacists are wanted.

What's the crime?

Illegal manufacturing of controlled drugs, causing medical malpractice, or something else?

Su Lun probably guessed that the other party might have a shady background like himself.

He didn't say much.

After all, since he recognized two of the children as thieves in this neighborhood, there was no need to worry at all.

There will be plenty of opportunities to get in touch slowly in the future.

Su Lun said: "Okay! Then I need the same amount of medicine..."

Suddenly, he thought about the group that was going to the cave in three days, and said: "I plan to go to the city cave to hunt aberrant monsters. Do you have any good medicine combinations to recommend?"

When buying medicine, it is better to ask the pharmacist directly than to prepare it yourself.

"Cave?"

But after hearing this, the cloaked man's tone suddenly became solemn, and he said casually: "The aberrant monsters in the sewers were affected by the environment and violently mutated in uncontrollable directions. Now the city sewers have become very dangerous. I suggest you best

Don’t go. If you really want to go...you must have at least a team of second-level professionals or above to ensure basic safety."

"Huh..."

Su Lun thought that the other party would introduce the potion to him, but he did not expect to hear these words.

He captured many key words keenly.

The fact that monsters mutated in the sewers has not spread among ordinary people. Even the top leaders of the Cross Society only know that there are many new monsters in the sewers and have no idea what caused this abnormal situation.

This guy actually knows that the monster in the sewer has mutated, and he also knows that the mutation is caused by environmental factors?

"Of course, I'm just guessing."

Obviously, the man in the cloak had just spoken, and he probably knew that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said, and his tone was slightly flustered.

He quickly remedied: "If you really want to go, I suggest you bring at least an intermediate-level 'antidote'. I have two high-level agents, AB, for neurotoxins and septic toxins. The sewers are in short supply.

There are all kinds of poisons, and these two potions are enough to deal with most poisoning situations. Of course, there are also necessary healing potions, paralysis-relieving potions... Adrenaline and hot-blood potions are also necessary for combat... If you have extra, sir

If you have a budget, I suggest you buy some [Abnormal Monster Aversion Agent]. This powder is very expensive, costing one hundred thousand liso, but it may be able to save your life when you are in danger..."

"oh?"

Listening to a series of professional terms, Su Lun once again confirmed that this guy was very professional in pharmacy.

Moreover, he seems to know the situation of underground monsters very well.

However, Su Lun also heard from his words that this guy had a good heart.

If a shrewd professional businessman heard that you were going hunting, he would definitely recommend his own medicine; but he first warned himself of the dangers in the cave.

Su Lun asked directly: "How much do these potions you mentioned cost in total?"

The cloaked man thought for a while and said: "These potions will be very expensive in the market, but I will only charge you two hundred and fifty thousand liso. However, you have to agree to a condition, and promise not to tell any third party about our transaction."

Listen to me personally.”

Su Lun was not surprised that he would say this, and agreed immediately: "Okay!"

You know, the average low-quality medicine commonly used by hunters only costs three to five hundred li each. This batch of medicine costs more than two hundred thousand, which is definitely a luxury that ordinary people can't even imagine.

As long as it is to save his own life, Su Lun spends money without hesitation.

If he remembered correctly, the names of the potions mentioned by the cloaked man just now were all truly high-end products. Just a few of the names he had heard of had a total market price of more than three hundred thousand. Not to mention a few of them.

A special potion that I have heard of.

Two hundred and fifty thousand is definitely a bargain price.

With that said, Su Lun took out 50,000 in cash without hesitation.

Although this mission did not seem to be dangerous, he also felt that he was well prepared.

After getting the money, the cloaked man continued: "I only brought part of the potion with me. If you can trust me with the rest, I will send someone to the Three Musketeers Tavern later. If you can't trust me..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Lun said: "No problem, I believe you."

After a pause, he continued: "If I need some medicine later, how should I contact you?"

The cloaked man originally wanted to say that he would never trade again. But when he looked at the customer in front of him who had given him enough trust, he couldn't refuse.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "You can leave a note and leave it in the mailbox at the door of Bellman's Bakery, No. 14 Ginkgo Street. After I get the news, I will contact you in the old way. But you have to know that I have

There are very few medicines here, so it is impossible to provide them on a large scale..."

Su Lun agreed without hesitation: "Yes!"

The cloaked man probably only has a simple small pharmacy workshop, and he doesn't expect to get a large amount of pharmaceuticals. But as long as this road is not blocked, he will consider other things in the future.

.......

The transaction was successfully completed and Su Lun left the scrap warehouse.

The few teenagers who had received the money carefully walked through the ruins of the building, and after going through many twists and turns, they got into an underground shabby house.

In the dark room, they lit candles and counted the bulging bags of cash. They were all very excited.

"Ah, Susan's mother is finally saved!"

"Yes, with this money, Brother Danny can buy expensive materials and prepare distortion-suppressing medicine..."

"..."

.......

In the afternoon, Su Lun got the potion at the tavern.

Two days later, the trial group from the "Black Tower Alchemy Academy" in the inner city finally arrived.

One day earlier than planned.
