“We need something, a real transcendent item!”
Su Lu smiled, the sparkle in his eyes deepened, a faint spirit oppression landed on the clerk.
To buy a real transcendent item in such a store, one naturally needs to reveal their ‘specialty’ first!
“So you two are… guests!”
The clerk bowed, behaving more respectfully than before: “Please follow me!”
He glanced at the four men and women, hesitated for a moment and walked towards the stairs.
The few students looked at each other and followed him.
The girl who threatened at the beginning leaned in, curiously looking at Su Lu and Rod: “Gentlemen… are you… people from that world?”
It was easy to see that she was the kind who had heard a bit of news, but had no channels to contact real professionals, thus she appeared very enthusiastic.
This attitude reminded Su Lu of the people like Diana in Lore city, he couldn’t help but smile.
“I… My name is Anfi! They are my friends, sir… may I have your contact information?”
Seeing this as an encouragement, Anfi quickly asked.
“Sorry….”
Su Lu shrugged, and continued up the stairs on his own.
“Haha… honey, my brother here is a man of few words, give me an address…”
Rod’s eyes rolled, he laughed loudly, took the address and quickly caught up with Su Lu: “Hey… my brother, I found that you have a big issue, you never relax, do you? Don’t tell me you’re not interested in girls?”
“Honestly…I have a psychological shadow.”
Su Lu answered with a dour look on his face.
“Anfi… those two guys were too much, why did you have to stick to them?”
Anfi’s friends grumbled indignantly.
“You don’t understand!”
Anfi’s eyes sparkled: “Having the store clerk be so respectful on their first visit, they certainly aren’t ordinary people!”
She was determined to become a transcendent!
That not only represents all kinds of unimaginable abilities, but it can also secure her position in the future world.
Before the White Eagle Federation intentionally introduced the Duke Act, many pieces of news had already begun to spread from the upper-class society to the middle and lower classes.
Anfi knew very well that only by becoming a transcendent could she have a chance to change her own fate!
The second floor of the shop was not very big, an old man with white beard wearing reading glasses sat in a recliner, behind him was a row of shelves.
Seeing the clerk bringing people up, he lazily stood up: “Honored guests, hello, my name is Bock, I am the owner of this shop. What can I do for you?”
“A potion that permanently increases body constitution, both the finished product and the formula are fine!”
Su Lu’s voice was deep.
“Permanent?”
Old man Bock’s smile froze: “Our shop only has a ‘Barbarian Bull Potion’, which can temporarily increase defense and strength…”
This small shop at most sells some ordinary materials, a potion that permanently increases one’s constitution is a very precious item even in the mysterious side of things, he indeed does not have it.
“Then… where can I find it on this street? I will pay a certain reward for information.”
Ignoring the glow in the eyes of the men and women behind him, Su Lu asked again.
“I’m afraid… only at night, in the real ‘Mysterious Fair’, it may occasionally appear… If it’s convenient for you, you could also wait until the exchange conference begins.”
Old man Bock glanced at Anfi with resentment, but still answered.
“Two black market entry certifications!”
Su Lu shrugged, while Rod next to him slammed two gold coins on the table.
Most of the shops here also shoulder the duty of a ‘guide’, and of course, they can also earn corresponding rewards by providing certain services.
“No problem!”
Old man Bock immediately took out a slip of paper from the cupboard: “The time and place are all on it, as well as the badge representing the qualification.”
Rod took a look and nodded to Su Lu: “Let’s go!”
He winked at Anfi, and left with Su Lu.
Just now he and Su Lu, both intentionally revealed these bits of information in front of each other.
For ordinary people, this is an opportunity!
Under the premise of not spoiling the atmosphere, they both didn’t mind giving ordinary people a hand.
“Boss… we want it too!”
Sure enough, Anfi stared at old man Bock with sparkling eyes: “We want four, the qualification to enter the ‘Mysterious Fair’!”
“Forty Golden Dragons!”
Old man Bock rolled his eyes.
“Why?”
The boy who was with Anfi couldn’t help but ask: “Why is it ten times more expensive for us?”
“Just because you’re just ordinary people! If you keep babbling, it will be four hundred Golden Dragons!”
Old man Bock laid back down, not caring at all.
“Okay!”
Anfi clenched her teeth and put on a pitiful look: “But can we pay by installment? We didn’t bring that much money…”
Night arrived.
Su Lu and Rod, wearing masks, entered the ‘Mysterious Fair’ through the underground passage of a certain secretive shop.
This was a secret realm similar to the black market of Charles City, with a vast range, looking like a real ‘world of the mysterious’, with most of the people coming and going being professionals, and of course, also a small amount of ordinary people.
“We each need to replenish some materials, let’s split up here first…”
After agreeing on a meeting place, Su Lu and Rod immediately split up at the entrance.
He needed to replenish some common materials like wormwood, rosemary powder, specially made candles and so on for making trick cards and performing rituals.
And Rod needed to replenish materials related to demon creatures for his [Demon Hunting Expert] profession.
‘The dream warned me of danger, it’s better to restock my supplies, and prepare constitution potion before the exchange conference… no matter what happens then, I will have room to move.’
He walked into a shop clearly run by a witch, and said to the beautiful shopkeeper, “I need a potion to permanently increase my constitution…”
“Sorry, out of stock!”
The witch, who was applying lipstick in front of a small mirror, answered without even looking up.
“I’m sorry to have bothered you…”
Su Lu simply and efficiently exited the shop, and switched to another store.
“It seems, any potion related to permanent constitution enhancement is rare… Maybe only those big forces have them in their collection?”
After going around most of the circle, Su Lu was nearly speechless.
But thinking that his ‘Cat’s Elegance’ potion came from the Green Tree Castle inner circle exchange, and ‘Holy Blood’ came from the Church of the Goddess of Light, he felt somewhat relieved.
He entered another shop, his brow knit with displeasure.
This store was in a reclusive spot, the interior was dimly lit, most of the goods on the shelves were things like skulls and other creature materials, giving off a rather evil feeling.
Unlike the shops on the daytime street, most of the items displayed here were real!
