Chapter 623: Fig Company’s Compass?

Chapter 623: Fig Company’s compass?

Except for seeing a masked Lionheart warrior outside the gate of Black Lion City, those tall figures are rarely seen in the city, and more are some wretched-looking foreigners.

As the Lion-Hearted King Oro said, Xia Fei entered the city wearing a black windbreaker with his head lowered and was not blocked at all. All he received was nothing more than blank looks from everyone. It can be seen that humans are not particularly rare in the Black Lion City, but their status is relatively low. .

"Serious businessmen rarely come to border cities like this. Most of the people who come here are engaged in shady jobs. There are thieves, killers, drug dealers, slave traders, etc. Black goods are traded on the border. Nature."

"Forgotten ethnic groups often appear in Black Lion City. As long as they do not interfere with public security, the city defense army will not care about them. Generally speaking, it is a free trade distribution center." Oro explained.

Xia Fei nodded. He did not have a good impression of the forgotten nation. The shepherds who tried to disrupt the examination room during the Longteng Martial Arts School examination had brought Xia Fei a lot of trouble. Their sinister and cruel methods could not be forgotten to this day.

Black Lion City is well built, even quite luxurious for a border city. The wide roads are full of people, and even during the day, the tavern is still bustling with people.

A proud warrior walked across from him. His head was covered with tentacles with suckers on them. His mouth was as small as a nectarine, and his face was dark red, like a walking squid.

"The Squid tribe is one of the main ethnic groups in the border area. Legend has it that their ancestors were some kind of mollusk due to a genetic mutation. They have a violent personality and don't like to talk."

Every time he met some unfamiliar high-level intelligent life, Lionheart King Oro would introduce it to Xia Fei. Xia Fei was dazzled by the sight. The prosperity of the demon clan was no less than that of the god clan, and the racial composition was even more peculiar. There are all kinds of weird and intelligent creatures.

Xia Fei followed the instructions of Lion-Hearted King Oro and turned into a narrow street. After walking for more than ten steps, he suddenly found that it was a dead end! There is no way out!

"No, I remember this should be the location of the largest trading house in Black Lion City. Why is it gone?" Auro complained somewhat depressedly.

Xia Fei sighed and said, "When was the last time you came to Black Lion City?"

"When I was young, I worked as a city defense chief for a few days..." As soon as Auro said this, he realized something was wrong. He was an immortal strong man and had lived for countless years. When he was young, it was tens of thousands of years ago!

Although the layout of Black Lion City is still the original layout, these buildings have been renovated countless times. It is impossible to find them based on the memory of Lionheart King Oro.

Xia Fei shrugged and retreated to the street. Oro murmured: "Things seem to be different from people, things seem to be different from people..."

There was a rather large restaurant on the street. The five-story building was luxuriously decorated. Xia Fei raised his tui and walked inside.

"You are hungry?"

"Not hungry."

"Then why did you go into the restaurant? You should go to the store to buy a space compass." Auro complained.

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "What we want is not an ordinary compass, but a super-grade product that can travel tens of billions of light years without being tracked! I don't expect any shop to be able to provide tens of thousands of fourth-level source crystals. The goods, so the first step is to inquire, and in this strange city, no one is more informed than the restaurant. "

After all, Lionheart King Oro is a figure from the past. He can lead Xia Fei to the Black Lion City but cannot help him find the space compass he needs, so Xia Fei plans to use his own method.

The reason why the restaurant exists is not just for eating, it also has the function of exchanging information. Didn't you see that most of the murderous activities were brewed in that dark tavern? Now that Xia Fei needs a super-level If you want high-end goods, you naturally have to go to the most luxurious restaurants to find out.

There were more than a dozen waiters standing at the door of the restaurant. Seeing that Xia Fei was a human being, none of them greeted him. What's more, some of them raised their heads as if they looked down on Xia Fei.

Xia Fei felt depressed for a while. This restaurant was quite powerful. Seeing that he was not dressed well, even the waiters didn't bother to talk to him. He was really looking down on others.

There were long tables for four on the first floor, and the more luxurious private rooms and private seats were all above the second floor. Xia Fei picked up a seat by the window and sat down, looking around the restaurant.

The restaurant's business was very good, with customers coming in and out from time to time. Within a few minutes, no one even talked to Xia Fei, which was in stark contrast to the customers who were greeted and sent away by the servants.

"Human? Do you want to come up and entertain me?"

"Looking at his poor appearance, what's there to entertain him? We are getting kickbacks. We might as well wait for those dignitaries if we have the time."

The conversation between the two waiters reached Xia Fei's ears. The salary for working as a waiter in a restaurant was meager, so he relied on the customers to order some expensive dishes to get a commission, or to survive from the tips given by the customers, so Xia Fei was not very successful. The guests were naturally ignored by the servants, while those with a big belly were greeted and sent away by more than a dozen servants, which was very disrespectful.

Just when Xia Fei was feeling embarrassed, a fat boy hurriedly came down from the second floor. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with one hand, and his fat and red face looked particularly honest.

Seeing Xia Fei in the corner with no one to greet him, the fat boy walked over naturally and brought the teapot, hot towel and menu from the counter.

"It's this idiot again. A few days ago, he invited a beggar in as a guest, which made the boss furious."

"Isn't that right? You have to be very discerning in our business. You can tell at a glance which customers are generous and which ones are poor. People like him will never be able to save enough money to marry a wife in their lifetime."

The fat man's behavior aroused ridicule from his colleagues, but he remained indifferent and came to Xia Fei's side with a smile on his face. He poured tea respectfully and wiped Xia Fei's face with a hot towel.

Xia Fei raised his eyebrows and pushed back the menu handed over by the fat man, "I won't read the menu. I'm not very hungry. Just have some local specialties and a bowl of rice."

The boys behind him were still laughing, "I'm just saying, you're a poor guy."

The fat man thought for a while and said: "The local salsa is very delicious. It matures very slowly when it grows in the desert. It takes ten years to germinate. It takes ten salsa to make a dish. Now is a good time to eat salsa. Why don’t you try this dish? It’s delicious and cheap. ”

Generally speaking, the waiters in restaurants will recommend more expensive dishes to customers. The more expensive the order, the higher the commission they will take. However, this fat man recommended some delicious and inexpensive dishes to Xia Fei, which shows that his character is quite kind.

Xia Fei nodded, "Then let's have a plate of bamboo shoots. I also want to ask you something."

"Guest, please tell me."

"I came here to buy a space compass, the best one. I don't know where to go?" Xia Fei asked.

The fat boy thought for a long time and said: "There are three largest shops in Black Lion City, Hewei, Jinshi, and Saloman. This is generally recognized in the city, but the items in Hewei and Jinshi are sold according to customers. It’s very expensive, so I suggest you go to Saloman Bank first, and if not, go to the other two.”

Not to mention, he was afraid that Xia Fei couldn't find the address, so he babbled through the locations of the three shops, and finally drew a simple map.

In this way, a lot of time was wasted and many opportunities to make money were missed. Fatty had no complaints about this, and Xia Fei was very grateful.

As the fat man said, the salsa is indeed delicious, with a faint fragrance like lily, crystal clear, and completely snow-white. Xia Fei was not hungry at first, but after seeing this dish, he couldn't help but work up his appetite and ate three bowls of rice in succession. All the salad bamboo shoots on the plate were eaten up. Although Xia Fei was not short of money nowadays, waste was still not his habit.

Seeing Xia Fei eating his plate all over the plate, the servants looked down on Xia Fei even more, thinking that this was a characteristic of poverty.

Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei called the fat boy to his side, touched his finger on the space ring, and handed him three third-order origin crystal stones, "Check out."

bass!

More than a dozen scorching gazes were cast towards him, and everyone could not believe that such a simple Xia Fei was so generous in his actions!

"No need, not even one. Just a second-grade one is enough. Salad bamboo shoots are very cheap." The fat man stammered.

With a slight smile, Xia Fei said: "I know, the rest is a reward for you."

Reward!

These boys only earn so much in a year, so Xia Fei gave him a tip equivalent to a year's salary!

envy, jealousy, hate.

The boys who were gloating just now are so excited that their eyes are almost falling!

What does it mean that a real person is not truthful? They must be quite aware of it at this moment.

…

Follow the map and find Saloman Store. This well-known shop in Black Lion City is not difficult to find. It occupies eight shops along the street. The shop uses the local specialty Salix wood to make a huge plaque that can be seen from two miles away. arrive.

Xia Fei walked into the shop and casually looked at the items on the counter. As the fat boy said, this shop has a variety of goods, including many high-end treasures, and the prices are not too outrageous. It should be the most powerful merchant in the city.

There are tables and chairs in the shop for customers to sit down and discuss business.

"Store, I'm looking for your boss." Xia Fei said in a deep voice after sitting down.

This shop is obviously good at doing business. Although the clerk was a little doubtful, he still respectfully invited a tall old man out. This man was from the Lionheart tribe, but he was not as tall as Oro, only about 2.5 meters. With his golden hair, one cannot tell his age.

It was completely different from what Xia Fei thought. Xia Fei was very cautious in explaining his purpose. After all, an unregistered space compass was illegal and could not be seen in the light. Moreover, what he wanted was top-quality goods, which were not allowed to be traded in the legal world. Super black stuff.

But the boss Rich didn't care at all, as if it was natural to trade these black goods in the Black Lion City.

A holographic projection appeared in front of Xia Fei, showing a black compass.

"The compass you want is expensive. It is stored in the vault and cannot be easily shown to anyone. I'd like to ask you to take a look at the diagram first. If you decide you want it, I will ask someone to take it out from the vault." Rich said politely.

The resolution of the holographic projection is extremely high. Apart from the lack of texture, it is no different from actually holding it in your hand. The screen can be flipped so that no details are missed.

Xia Fei became more and more suspicious as he looked at it, and asked in a deep voice: "How come this compass comes from the Clan of Gods? Or is it produced by the Fig Company?" ro x-on:.
