"Sure enough, for such an excellent me, someone finally noticed me!" Shen Ming's expression suddenly became melancholy, and his whole person inadvertently exuded a feeling of depression.
This is going to put Duanmu Fang out of control. Why were they having a good conversation just now? Shen Ming suddenly became decadent. Did he say something that irritated the other person?
"Brother Shen, did I do something wrong?" Duanmu Fang stood up from his seat anxiously and came to Shen Ming's side.
Looking at the anxious Duanmu Fang, Shen Ming tilted his head slightly, rolled his eyes, and seemed to have a plan.
"I'm not too hungry, why don't we go out for a walk?" Shen Ming looked at Duanmu Fang with somewhat sad eyes.
As an upright boy, Duanmu Fang felt extremely guilty. He didn't even refute or question Shen Ming's simple request, he just agreed.
…
three hours later
Shen Ming was completely exhausted. Looking at Duanmu Fang who didn't feel tired at all, he felt that he had made a stupid decision.
"If I had known that this guy couldn't notice anything strange, why would I have pretended to be walking!" Shen Ming secretly complained in his heart.
"Brother Shen Ming, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Duanmu Fang was very concerned about Shen Ming's condition.
This guy mistakenly thought that he said something to make Shen Ming sad, and his heart was filled with guilt.
"It's okay, continue... walking!"
…
Finally, the two finally came to the largest grocery market in the Magic City, Sanli Street. The reason why it is called groceries is because it has everything from daily necessities to magic equipment materials. It is even called the national market. The simplest hybrid exchange.
There are only things you can't think of here, and there is nothing you can't buy.
"Duanmu, I suddenly have something to deal with. Can you go in and help me buy some things?" Shen Ming looked at Duanmu Fang pretending to be pitiful again.
Duanmu Fang blinked his innocent big eyes and agreed without saying a word.
"I don't know what Brother Shen wants to buy. I know a little bit about Sanli Street. It can't be said to have everything here, but it is also a place where all kinds of strange things can be found."
"Well... a river job, that's right. I want to buy a river job and bring it back, so I'll bother you..." Shen Ming made up a random name, and after saying that, he pretended to be very anxious and wanted to leave.
"Wait...Brother Shen!"
"I knew the name was too nonsense!" Shen Ming murmured secretly in his heart.
"Brother Shen, I will definitely buy it back!"
"...Well, come on!"
…
Sanli Street's foot traffic is the second in the city, but no one dares to be the first. It's a real mixed bag, with everyone here.
Who are you telling me about the rumor that Sanli Street supports 70% of the thieves in the Magic City?
Duanmu Fang shuttled among the crowd, constantly moving between stalls, asking about the non-existent river life.
As for Shen Ming, he had been quietly following Duanmu Fang, observing his every move.
"Duanmu, you don't look like a stupid person!" Shen Ming sighed secretly.
His understanding of Duanmu Fang has reached a new level. Although this guy is usually a bit upright, he is definitely not stupid. After all, the Duanmu family is a family of the Tribunal, and it is impossible for a fool to be the successor of the Duanmu family.
But as far as those few operations were concerned, Duanmu Fang was simply stupid. In other words, he was too stubborn about his actions.
Shen Ming only pretended to be a little bit, but Duanmu Fang immediately felt that he had said something he shouldn't have said. Subconsciously, he felt that he had done something wrong.
This does not mean that Duanmufang does not even have basic judgment ability, but it means that this guy has complete trust in the people he recognizes.
This kind of person must be a trustworthy friend, but he is not a qualified member of the Tribunal.
Is there really anyone in this world who can be completely trusted? Shen Ming shook his head contemptuously.
At the moment of life and death, in the face of interests, Shen Ming only believed in himself.
Duanmu Fang's character may be caused by his family's long-term education on right and wrong. In his eyes, right is right and wrong is wrong. Often this view of right and wrong is too extreme. If someone really approaches Duanmu Fang deliberately
, gain trust.
So with the status of the Duanmu family, if that person has any evil intentions, not only he can do whatever he wants in the Magic City, but also it can be said that no one dares to provoke him.
Today, just because of the word Duanmu, all families with dirty foundations are afraid.
When the time comes, this innocent family that has existed for who knows how many years may really be destroyed in the hands of a few villains.
…
"Stop it, thief!"
Duanmu Fang grabbed the wretched man who put his hand into someone else's pocket in front of him, and pushed him to the ground without saying a word.
"It hurts..." The thief was just an ordinary person who could withstand Duanmu Fang's strength and quickly begged for mercy.
Duanmu Fang's courageous act of justice did not receive applause from the victims and the masses. It was not that they were not grateful, but that this kind of thing was too common in Sanli Street.
This is a paradise for thieves. Even if someone is stolen, they don’t dare to say anything, because offending a thief here is equivalent to offending a theft group.
It was obvious that the man who had just been stolen was very scared, and even glanced at Duanmu Fang angrily, and then rushed out of Sanli Street in a hurry.
"Weird man!" Duanmu Fang didn't know why the man glared at him when he left, but he didn't care. After all, he didn't subdue the thief just for applause and flowers.
…
"Young man, let's have a good experience!" Shen Ming followed not far away, holding an ice cream in his hand and looking calm and relaxed.
Why did Shen Ming bring Duanmu Fang to a place like this?
With Duanmu Fang's character, he comes to Sanli Street and is still not excited? There are thieves everywhere, and this guy can't catch them all.
What is Shen Ming's purpose? Perhaps only Shen Ming himself knows at this moment.
Shen Ming still approves of Duanmu Fang, and some small help is okay. The flaws in the other party's character are not a big deal. If it were placed on an ordinary person, he would even be praised as excellent. But after all, Duanmu Fang is
Maybe his grandfather was secretly anxious about becoming the head of the family.
Just when Shen Ming was about to continue watching the show, he suddenly spotted a strange-looking magic stone on a stall nearby.
Shen Ming knew at a glance that the magic stone was fake, because there was no magic fluctuation on it, which also meant that the stone had no magic power at all and could only deceive ordinary people.
The stall owner on the side seemed to notice that Shen Ming seemed to be very interested in his weird magic stone, and immediately stood up with a smile on his face.
"After waiting for a long time, someone who knows the goods finally came! Boss, do you want to know about the powerful magic stone?" The stall owner looked like an old man and smiled at Shen Ming and said.
"Powerful magic stone?" Shen Ming was slightly surprised and couldn't help but take another look at the strange magic stone on the ground.
"It's just a fake."
Although Shen Ming has never seen a real powerful magic stone, this stone has no magic power at all and it is definitely a fake.
The stall owner didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, he smiled as expected and said: "The boss is indeed an expert. Do I dare to show that this kind of thing is genuine? I won't be robbed to death! Although this
The gadgets are allowed to be sold, but there are too few entering the market now. Everyone is treated as a treasure! Naturally, I have to be careful!"
"If the boss is really interested, I have some inventory over there. The price... we can easily discuss."
If he were an ordinary person, the stall owner in front of him would never say a word more. After working in a place like Sanli Street for so many years, the stall owner has developed his sharp eyesight.
Although he couldn't see Shen Ming's true identity, he could tell that he was unusual. At the very least, he was a pretty good magician. And he was still a young man. He might be a child of a big family.
This kind of person is not short of money!
Shen Ming hesitated slightly. Strictly speaking, the powerful magic stone flowed out of his hand. And so far, Shen Ming didn't even know what the powerful mode looked like, which was a bit cheating.
Shen Ming looked at Duanmu Fang, who was not far away and was still asking about the whereabouts of "River Living", and casually made a magic mark.
"Lead the way!"
…
Sanli Street is divided into inner street and outer street. Compared with the mixed crowd of people on the outer street, the inner street is sparsely populated, and there are not even a few vendors setting up stalls.
Obviously, business in this inner street is not easy!
"It looks like this is the boss's first time coming to Sanli Street, right? It's really helpless that this inner street has become so desolate. In the last century, this was one of the most prosperous streets in the entire Magic City! But now, in addition to suffering,
All of them, except for the few that were sticking around, have moved to the outer streets." The stall owner introduced as he walked, with a tone that seemed a little regretful.
"That's strange. Why can't they be merged? Can't we also expand the space? If we add a few more shops, we can make more money, right?" Shen Ming became a little curious. The outer street of Sanli Street
Although it is quite big, compared to such a huge number of people, the traffic is still very crowded. Why does the boss behind Sanli Street not want to merge the two streets?
"The boss is confused. This Sanli Street is not decided by one person or several people. The history of Sanli Street can even be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. The water here... my family has been here for generations.
To make a living. Although the inner streets are now in decline, compared to the outer streets, there are all kinds of people. In the inner streets, as long as they don’t want to die, no one dares to cause trouble! This is an iron rule! It doesn’t matter who comes!”
The stall owner said with some pride. Obviously, the reason why he brought Shen Ming to the inner street was to prove that his base camp was also in the inner street, so he was naturally a little proud.
"Sanli Street, since there are three, is there a third street?" Shen Ming also felt that walking in this empty inner street was very boring, so he asked casually.
As soon as he finished speaking, the stall owner who was leading the way suddenly stopped. Coupled with the slightly empty inner street, Shen Ming inexplicably felt that the other person's back was a bit alarming.
