Chapter 849: Solomon

Clang.

A blade flash broke through the air. Sweat dripped from Su Xiao's chin. He was wearing a heavy black vest that weighed at least 900 catties.

Wearing this while practicing blade techniques consumed a lot of stamina, but Su Xiao planned to increase the weight during his practice in the near future. After all, his Strength, Agility, and Stamina attributes had improved significantly recently. Although weighted practice had a negligible effect on improving blade techniques, it could temper his will.

Covered in sweat, Su Xiao took off the metal vest. With a clatter, the metal vest hit the ground, and he felt a sense of relief throughout his body.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

The communicator in the room rang. Su Xiao opened it; it was Xiang Yanchen.

"The buyer is set. Meet at Luo Bu Street."

"Mm."

Hanging up, Su Xiao casually put on some casual clothes. Just as he was about to leave the exclusive room, he found Ignoring Bubu Wang lying on the already ruined bed.

Su Xiao traded 2,460 Paradise Coins to Ignoring Bubu Wang. He had 100,000 Paradise Coins left, just enough to give the remainder to Ignoring Bubu Wang.

"Pocket money. Also, go get a bed."

The bleary-eyed Ignoring Bubu Wang let out a grumble, its front paws twitching.

"Lose some weight. You're almost unable to run."

"Grrr~"

Ignoring Bubu Wang replied and continued to sleep.

"Forget it. If we encounter any exotic species in the derived world in the future, I'll let you have a taste."

"Awooo!!"

Ignoring Bubu Wang let out a miserable howl. It remembered its past experiences; whether it was eating Zerg or the Cyclops, none of them were pleasant experiences.

Su Xiao ignored Ignoring Bubu Wang and left the exclusive room, heading toward Luo Bu Street.

So-called Luo Bu Street was actually the "black market" of the Reincarnation Paradise. The items sold on Luo Bu Street couldn't even be described as illicit; most of the things sold here were strange and cheap.

They say cheap goods aren't good, but on Luo Bu Street, you could buy good goods cheaply. However, these good goods were very dangerous—they might be the signature equipment of a member of a large adventure group, or items that hundreds of Qiyuezhe had fought over before "mysteriously" disappearing.

These items had one common characteristic: they could cause trouble, or even bring about a fatal disaster.

Luo Bu Street belonged to one faction: the Brigade within the Reincarnation Paradise. The usage and rental rights for all shops on Luo Bu Street were held by members of the Brigade.

Therefore, this place became a gathering place for lunatics and weirdos. Most staff members wouldn't come here because the Qiyuezhe wandering around here all had terrifying auras; heaven knows if they would suddenly fly into a rage over some trivial matter.

Su Xiao didn't go to Luo Bu Street often; after all, he had killed members of the Brigade and had old grudges with the Revolver Man and Gulu, two members of the Brigade.

Xiang Yanchen choosing Luo Bu Street as the trading point this time was the Magic Master's idea. It was said that the Magic Master had some dealings with the Brigade and had even moved his exclusive room to the vicinity of Luo Bu Street.

Su Xiao walked into Luo Bu Street. The structure here was simple: one street with various shops on both sides. The names of the shops were bizarre, such as Old Story House (intelligence organization), Incineration Shop (can hire powerful Qiyuezhe to kill), and Ear (intelligence relay station).

There weren't many Qiyuezhe on the street, but every Qiyuezhe passing by had a strong aura, and their behavior was not exactly normal.

"Over here."

Xiang Yanchen stood in the middle section of Luo Bu Street, in front of a restaurant. This was one of the few normal shops on Luo Bu Street.

Su Xiao stepped forward, and Xiang Yanchen signaled for him to sit inside. The two ordered some things and sat opposite each other at a round table.

"Where is the person?"

Su Xiao picked up a glass of watermelon juice and drank it in one gulp. The high-intensity blade practice had caused his body to lose a lot of water, and now, with the icy watermelon juice in his stomach, he felt exceptionally refreshed.

"We have to wait a while. That guy is called Solomon, and he hates waiting. Although we are the sellers, he is one of the few buyers, so we have to be a bit early. For the sake of Paradise Coins, you won't mind this bit of patience, right?"

Xiang Yanchen mentioned the Magic Master, looking somewhat troubled.

"Is he a Dark-type mage?"

Su Xiao suddenly spoke.

"How did you know? Have you met him?"

Xiang Yanchen was quite surprised.

"Not really, he's here."

Su Xiao perceived a mass of darkness approaching. This mass of darkness was gloomy and oppressive, seemingly swallowing the surrounding light.

A man wearing a black pointed hat and a black robe, with his collar covering most of his face and only his eyes exposed, pushed open the restaurant door and walked in.

The man's eyes were pitch black, with no distinction between whites and pupils. The moment he walked into the restaurant, frost appeared on the surface of all glass products, forming beads of water.

"Manager, the air conditioning is set too low."

A diner shouted. The manager, leaning against the bar, lowered his eyelids.

"Even if this were a volcanic crater, the temperature would be the same. Newcomers looking for excitement."

The restaurant manager looked at the man in the black robe.

"Solomon, put away your 'pet'."

Being able to open a shop on Luo Bu Street, the manager was certainly no ordinary person.

"Active period, cannot."

The man in the black robe, Solomon, only said five words. The general meaning was that his servant was in an active period and could not be put away.

"Simply a walking air conditioner. Just don't let your 'pet' scare the guests."

The manager exhaled a breath of cold air and shook his head.

"Okay."

Solomon tightened his collar and stepped into the restaurant. At the same time, several diners stood up and left.

Su Xiao examined Solomon. He didn't feel the slightest human aura from the other party. The other party seemed to have merged with the darkness. This wasn't some bloodline or skill, but rather that his body was filled with Dark-type magic energy.

Solomon's gaze swept across the restaurant. When he saw Xiang Yanchen, he stepped forward. When he was ten meters away from Su Xiao and Xiang Yanchen, his footsteps stopped, and those pure black eyes stared at Su Xiao.

"Natural enemy."

As soon as Solomon finished speaking, a pitch-black venomous snake crawled out from his collar. The snake's head was triangular, its scales were fine, and it flicked its tongue. This was a mutant Black Mamba.

After hesitating for a moment, Solomon stepped forward and sat opposite Su Xiao, closer to Xiang Yanchen.

"Item."

Solomon could only be described as a man of few words; a sentence rarely exceeded five words.

Xiang Yanchen signaled Su Xiao to take it out. It appeared in Su Xiao's hand, and he placed it on the round table.

"What is your offer?"

As a Shadow of Extinguishing Law, Su Xiao was more sensitive to Solomon's temperament. This guy was different from any mage he had ever fought. He had a feeling that even if he got close to Solomon, the other party wouldn't be as pathetic as other mages.

"300,000."

Solomon took out a Paradise Coin savings card with a face value of exactly 300,000.

"Solomon, although I am the intermediary for both of you, this price is a bit low."

Xiang Yanchen could collect a commission from this transaction, so there was no need for Su Xiao to negotiate the price.

"Budget is tight."

After Solomon said these four words, no matter what Xiang Yanchen said, he just kept his mouth shut.

After Xiang Yanchen spent a full 5 minutes driving up the price, his chest heaved slightly. The reason was that Solomon sat there like a statue, motionless and silent.

"You... said 'natural enemy' earlier, right?"

Su Xiao spoke. Solomon, who had been looking straight ahead, showed a slight fluctuation in his emotions.

"350,000. Not selling? Forget it. Natural enemy."

Solomon made a move to leave, seemingly not wanting to stay here for too long, and he had been referring to Su Xiao as his natural enemy all along. ===== CHAPTER 850 =====
