ꨡ[6B a~oNx0: Chapter 0820: Black Market (Request for Monthly Tickets at the End of the Month) Chapter 820: Chapter 0820: Black Market (Request for Monthly Tickets at the End of the Month) “I had no choice…”
Jenny touched her third eye and could only give a bitter smile.
“At least, once you beco a first-tier Apostle, you can conceal this eye…
as long as you don’t intentionally show it off in front of the Nature Guardians, there shouldn’t be any problems.”
“But what about before that?
I still need to go ho, I still need to go to school…”
Jenny was on the verge of tears.
“No need to worry about that for now, you can disguise yourself for the ti being.”
Su Lu smiled, pulling out a rounded black felt hat.
“It’s called ‘Deceiver,’ a Marvel that can change a person’s face.
You could try it on.”
Jenny took it, sowhat skeptically.
...
After putting it on, she closed her eyes, and the third eye on her forehead also shut, leaving not even a trace behind.
“It’s incredible…”
After checking herself several tis in front of the mirror, she excitedly spun around a few tis.
“This is just a Marvel I casually created; it has a singular function, it’s nothing much…
Although it consus very little from ordinary people, the consumption is still there, so…
beco a Transcendent as soon as possible, or else the headaches will always accompany you…” Su Lu reminded her.
“I understand, ‘Spider Saint Marks,’ right?”
Jenny clenched her fist.
“I will try my best to track it down.”
“In fact…
I have mastered it!” Su Lu coughed, unsurprised to see Jenny’s mouth form an ‘O’ shape.
“After all, I am also a Transcendent.
Of course, I only possess the most basic first-tier integration formula; as for the rest, you’ll have to figure out the thod on your own.”
Su Lu casually pointed.
Click!
Above the desk, a fountain pen levitated, swiftly writing on the white paper: “Ingredients: pure water, hemolytic herb, mouseberry plum, spider silk, mistletoe leaves, Black Demon Spider’s active blood…
manufacturing thods…
application thods…”
“Many of these things can be collected from everyday life, a few might be troubleso…
especially the Black Demon Spider’s active blood, however, it also has applications in other Mysterious fields…”
Su Lu rolled up the paper and stuffed it into Jenny’s hands.
“I know a black market where you might find what you need.
Hmm…
Let’s go there at nine o’clock Thursday night.”
“Thank you…
ntor.”
Jenny sincerely thanked him, touching her hat.
If going to the black market, a hat that could change appearances would undoubtedly co in very handy.
“Also…
don’t forget your design howork, I have already promised the dean that it will win an award…”
Su Lu added with a smile.
…
Thursday night.
After dressing up, Jenny arrived at the dock area, a place she would not easily visit.
Now, dressed in a simple factory girl’s outfit, her nose bridge high, her skin and eye color subtly adjusted, she looked like a completely different person.
‘This place really is terrible, full of drunkards, contraband, and all sorts of odd things…’
‘Dad warned before not to co here…
It’s full of thugs, very troubleso.’
‘But I didn’t expect that under the cover of black market trades, there would be transactions of Transcendent items.’
Jenny looked around nervously, anxiously waiting.
Her appearance clearly made her look like a novice, attracting the gaze of hungry wolves.
A few vagrants had already approached, grinning, their dark yellow teeth showing.
“Little girl…
wanna have so fun at the bar?”
“Sorry…
she’s taken.”
Su Lu ca over dressed in a black trench coat, smiling as he lifted a corner of his coat to reveal a black gun holster.
Seeing this, the holess people promptly shut their mouths and returned to their respective places.
“Let’s go!”
Su Lu approached Jenny, smiling as he spoke.
“Teacher…
how did you know…”
Jenny asked, sowhat bewildered.
She had clearly changed her face already.
“You’ll understand once you beco an ‘Apostle’!”
Su Lu took the lead, signaling Jenny to follow.
After traversing a narrow passage, a dark alley appeared before Jenny.
Both sides were filled with various makeshift shacks that encroached upon the street, crowded with people mostly wearing gray and black robes, their faces hidden by hoods.
‘I didn’t even know…
there was an alley hidden here…’
Jenny mumbled to herself.
Soon after, she saw an old woman, akin to a witch, approaching.
The woman had barely any white hair on her head, opened a pitch-black bag, and with a bone-chilling laugh said, “Beautiful one…
care to take a look…
the eggs of an ancient toad and Fish People’s ointnt…
I assure you, it’s genuine, can keep your skin moist continuously…”
Jenny curiously glanced inside the bag and saw what seed to be several eyeballs staring straight at her, making her shiver.
Su Lu, uninterested, parted the crowd and entered a shop.
“Isn’t this our ‘ntor’ Mr.
Su!”
The lighting inside the shop was dim, crowded with all sorts of oddly shaped props, with two axes crossed and mounted on the wall.
Behind the counter stood a young gentleman dressed very neatly and refined, yet out of place amidst the filthy, cramped street.
His complexion was pale, and his eyes blood-red, greeting Su Lu as if eting an old friend.
“This is Geno, the vampire rchant.
His reputation on this street is barely acceptable…”
Su Lu told Jenny, “He is also a referrer for the private gatherings of the Transcendents, attended by the Apostles…”
“No, there are so of The Fallen too, although they are not in great ntal condition, they indeed have so good things…” Geno corrected with a sly smile, looking at Jenny, “Beautiful miss, what is your code na?”
“Steam!”
Jenny’s eyes twinkled, “Please call Lady Steam!”
“Of course, Lady Steam, what may I assist you with this ti?” Geno bowed, “Our store’s Marvel items are high quality and reasonably priced, very suitable for beginners!”
“Cough cough…
don’t bring out those counterfeit items devoid of any ‘Spirit’ just to embarrass yourself.”
Su Lu gestured to Jenny to take out the shopping list, “How about it?
Can you gather everything?”
“Black Demon Spider blood, this is extrely rare material, but our store still has three portions preserved, all maintained viable through rituals…”
Geno, unfazed, flashed a rchant’s smile, “Just for 100 Gold Coins, or an equivalent item…”
“Done.”
Su Lu threw out a red gemstone.
Geno appraised it briefly, quickly accepted it, and went to the back closet to take out various materials, placing them into a black briefcase.
“Teacher…”
Jenny whispered, “I will definitely pay back what I owe…”
She felt slightly embarrassed, but she really couldn’t afford this amount of money on her own.
“No worries, I believe in your repaynt abilities!” Su Lu responded with a smile.
