Su Lun felt that the money spent was worth it, so he rode his scooter to Bird Street in Beicheng District, which saved more than half an hour than taking the intercity train.
He parked his motorcycle in a parking lot guarded by a local gang, and then went to the underground Shadow Alley.
The black market in Shadow Alley not only sells all kinds of shady alchemy materials, but is also an intelligence gathering center in the outer city.
Here you can find a lot of relevant information about professionals, and you can also find some professional masters who have great backgrounds but dare not show up.
Because he had been here many times, Su Lun was familiar with the route and went directly to the intelligence shop that issued the employment commission.
...
When passing by the notice board, Su Lun glanced at it.
The "missing person notice" of the original owner is still hanging on it, and the amount has increased, and the number of clues provided has become 200,000 liso.
Ever since he learned from Reina that there was no original owner of the "Rega Land" family in the inner city, he always felt something strange when looking at this wanted notice.
Who is looking for the original owner?
Su Lun looked at the method of receiving remuneration and pointed to the tavern of a professional news merchant.
Although he could probably figure out who was offering the reward by following this clue, it was not necessary.
You don’t have to think about it, if you touch this vine, there will be big fish after the small fish, and sharks after the big fish. It will eventually hit a mine, and a huge organization (family) will be discovered, which will arouse the vigilance of the person behind the bounty.
If he were not implicated by the wanted order, Su Lun would not have any interest in the past of the original owner.
What he has to do now is to keep a low profile as possible, so that the people behind the scenes think that the original owner is dead and the wanted order can just fall into dust.
Su Lun didn't look at his wanted poster, but looked up at the familiar red notice at the top of the list.
She is still the same woman who offered a reward of one million, but now her reward has increased to two million.
"She hasn't been caught yet. This woman is really powerful. What on earth did she commit..."
Su Lun's eyes looked slightly strange, thinking about something in his mind.
After the auction last month, he happened to witness with his own eyes the scene where this mysterious woman was hunted down by a group of people from the Umbrella Organization.
It's really surprising that he managed to escape under such circumstances.
After all, in the eyes of people in the outer city, especially gangsters, the "umbrella organization" in the inner city is a mysterious organization that is impossible to resist. Legend has it that this organization has an intelligence network all over Old Town, countless high-level professionals, and the most powerful people.
Top-notch technological equipment...maybe even someone around you is their external temporary worker.
Being targeted by them will lead to death.
Su Lun felt that this organization was a bit like the CIA, Kberg, etc. in his previous life.
It'll be fine in the future, it's best not to get involved in the relationship.
.......
Not long after, Su Lun walked out of the intelligence shop, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Master craftsmen" who can handle dark gold materials are not easy to find in the outer city. The information dealer also gave a vague reply, saying that he was asking first and would contact him if he had any news.
After all, that kind of person can get a good position in the inner city based on his skills and will not be short of money. Unless there are special circumstances, no master will come to the outer city to make a living.
However, Su Lun couldn't wait any longer.
Being a gangster, there is no guarantee of accidents or who will come first tomorrow. He urgently needs to refine the [Eight-Armed Spider Spear] as soon as possible.
"Do we really have to go to the inner city to look for him?"
Before, Su Lun really had no choice but to wait. He was a gangster and couldn't go to the inner city at all. But it's different now. He has met Lena and Fat Charlie and has a small friendship, and maybe he can find a matchmaker.
A master craftsman.
However, he didn't want to use this method unless it was absolutely necessary.
Not to mention that the applicable professions of the [Eight-Armed Spider Divine Spear] are inherently picky. The body containment value required for the implant made of dark gold materials must be extremely high. How can an ordinary gang member from an outer city be able to equip it?
The best way for gangsters is to go to the black market. Although there are still risks, it is definitely better than being exposed to the sun.
After thinking about it, Su Lun came to "Rosen's Alchemy Shop" again. The old man wearing glasses was cleaning up his small and crowded shop.
Refining plant equipment requires some other materials. Now that you have the money, you can just collect the other materials first.
The old man heard the bell ringing at the door, raised his head and greeted the guest who came in, "This distinguished guest, what do you need?"
Although Su Lun took out the list of materials and read it over: "I need thirty milliliters of 'Qianmanlan's Juice', three kilograms of 'Water Ghost Copper', and two hundred grams of 'Stone Heart Ghost's Heart Powder',"
Colorless solvent'...."
The little old man looked at the list, raised his gray eyebrows, and said with a hint of surprise: "Oh, these are all very high-end materials. It's not easy to get them all at once... I've calculated that these materials will probably take a lot of skills.
Three hundred thousand liso. The need is very urgent, so the quote may be twenty thousand more."
After a pause, he said: "With a deposit of fifty thousand, you can get these materials in five days at the latest."
Su Lun: "No problem."
It doesn't matter if the craftsman doesn't find it, it doesn't matter if the material is delayed for a few days.
Although he had lowered the brim of his hat, he felt that the old man must have recognized him. After all, he had come here many times to buy materials, and these shrewd bosses always judged people very accurately.
At this time, Su Lun thought of something and asked casually: "Excuse me, do you know where I can contact a master craftsman?"
The bosses of the black market are very wild, and they might be able to get some useful information.
"Are you looking for a master craftsman?"
The old man didn't seem too surprised. He glanced at him and pondered for a moment: "Well... this is a bit difficult to handle in the outer city."
Hearing this, Su Lun was startled and realized that the tone of the old man's words was not quite right.
"A bit difficult" is not impossible!
The strange color on Su Lun's face disappeared and he asked again: "If you can provide valuable information, according to the rules, I can pay corresponding compensation for my questions."
The old man glanced at him and didn't answer. He asked instead: "Do you have very high-end equipment that needs to be forged?"
Apparently, it's not just about money.
"Yes."
When Su Lun heard this, he knew there was something going on and didn't show any unpleasant doubts.
After hearing this, the old man said: "I do have a frequent customer in my shop. He is at least proficient in 'expert-level' forging technology. I can ask for you, but you have to tell me what you want to forge first.
.I can also tell you if that gentleman is interested in accepting the forging commission."
At least an "expert"?
Then it is very likely that he is a "master"!
Black market shop owners rarely make mistakes, so it is absolutely reliable to have him say this.
Su Lun felt happy when he heard this, but he didn't expect that he would actually get useful clues by asking casually.
He did not mention the commission directly, but asked cautiously: "Is the 'sir' you mentioned...reliable?"
The old man said with certainty: "Of course. That gentleman has a deep relationship with the organizer of the black market. If you have negotiated an entrustment transaction before, I can even guarantee him."
"good!"
After hearing the old man's words, Su Lun no longer had any worries.
He said directly: "I have the golden blueprint [Eight-Armed Spider Divine Spear] and a pair of dark gold-level main materials in my hand, so I need a master craftsman who can guarantee the success of the refining."
This was where he took the drawings last time. The old man recognized him and must have known that he had the drawings. There was no need to hide them. Besides, the old man dared to say that he guaranteed it, so the matter was settled. Once it was fixed The black market owner of the shop guarantees that the portion is not low.
"Oh...dark gold material? No wonder it requires a master craftsman..."
When the little old man heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
It seems that it's not that I haven't seen good materials, but I am curious about where a semi-professional who needs to forge a first-level plant equipment can get such high-level cursed materials.
But he obeyed the rules and didn't ask any more questions, and added: "Let me ask you. That gentleman always comes to the shop several times a month to buy materials, but I'm not sure when I will get the news."
Su Lun nodded: "Thank you, I will come here often in the near future. If that gentleman is really confident about forging this plant equipment, please be sure to ask him to set out the conditions for the commission. Even if it is slightly higher than the market price, it can be considered."
It is not easy to find a master craftsman in the outer city. Even if he is killed, he will only admit it.
Fortunately, now that I have money, I have the confidence to say this.
Little old man: "I can't guarantee that. That gentleman has a very weird temperament. He only forges alchemical items that he is interested in..."
Su Lun wisely took out a stack of medium-thick banknotes and pushed them on the table: "Please."
The little old man looked at the money and didn't say much, "I'll do my best."
.......
But after Su Lun left the black market, not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a windbreaker happened to visit "Gerson's Alchemy Shop".
The old man looked at the middle-aged man, recognized him, and greeted him warmly: "Mr. Hei, what materials do you need today?"
"Get a copy of all the materials on the list."
The man in windbreaker handed over the list and said calmly: "By the way, has the shop received any rare cursed materials recently?"
"I received some. I'll show them to you right now."
Every month this gentleman comes to buy some materials. The old man doesn't hesitate and takes out some rare materials collected from hunters and colleagues from the storage ring. These materials are very high-end and are not in the shop. Among the elementary materials, there are second-level, or even third-level... high-end goods.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Mr. Hei. There is something that may interest you. A customer needs to forge a pair of dark gold plant equipment and entrusts me to find a craftsman who can refine it..."
