The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

Blue Jay is reporting earnings this time around.

For about 20 days in a row, Lu Lin, besides preparing his arsenal, spent the rest of his time refining intermediate magic stones.

After all, it is an intermediate formula, and its earning power is far greater than that of the elementary formula. After considering the cost, this batch of intermediate magic stones finally earned about six gold coins.

Lan Jie spent two gold coins to purchase the items Lu Lin needed. The two gold coins were used to repay the money Lu Lin had borrowed from Lan Jie before, and the remaining two gold coins went into Lu Lin's pocket.

Lu Lin's wallet finally received its first cash after a long period of dryness.

To be honest, two gold coins are really not a small amount. For an ordinary person to save two gold coins, he would have to work hard for at least a whole year.

You know, a year in this place is much longer than the world Lu Lin used to live in.

But what to say...

After all, they were going to Oga City soon. This small amount of money made Lu Lin feel a little uneasy. In addition, Lu Lin always felt that Lan Jie's savings in the small vault were probably more than ten times his. This wave of people were so eager to borrow money. His money was taken back, which made him feel a little bit strange.

Seeing Lu Lin holding two gold coins at the dinner table, Lan Jie inexplicably felt a sense of crisis pointing toward his wallet.

After thinking about it, Lan Jie decided to change the topic proactively to prevent his wallet from being attacked.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat, "Um, boss, didn't you analyze those fruits before? Did you come to any conclusion?"

After hearing Lan Jie's words, Lu Lin's hand playing with gold coins suddenly stopped and his brows wrinkled.

"Well, that's weird," Lu Lin said with a slight frown, "Most of this thing is water, and the rest is some plant fiber and sugar. Judging from the ingredients detected so far, this thing is different from ordinary There really isn’t much difference between the persimmons…”

Chapter 88 Your soul is very valuable

When completing the composition analysis of the fruit, Lu Linzhen once suspected that Lan Jie had been deceived by the locals and took a bunch of good-looking persimmons and sold them to him as the fruit.

No hypnotic effects, no neurotoxins, no stimulants, no hallucinogenic effects, no addictive ingredients, no spells, not even magic.

No matter how you analyze it, the conclusion is that this is just a fruit with a very high sugar water content.

But if that was the case, why would Tanuki have such a big reaction to it?

In the end, Lu Lin had no choice but to conclude that there was some mysterious ingredient in this thing that Lu Lin could not detect with his current ability.

It was definitely inedible, and analysis couldn’t figure out the reason, so Lu Lin finally decided to go to the city to have a look.

Lu Lin wanted to leave Dilong, so Li Mi naturally chose to follow him as always.

Lu Lin was actually a little worried about this. After all, according to Lan Jie, there were shops selling Xishi fruit everywhere in the city. Li Mi was so resistant to this thing, and he didn't know what his reaction would be.

Therefore, Lu Lin had been cautious before entering the city, fearing that Li Mi would have an overreaction.

But the result was somewhat beyond Lu Lin's expectation.

When they came to the gate of the city, they saw at a glance that almost every store on both sides of the street had a wooden box in front of the store, containing yellow and orange fruits.

Upon seeing this scene, Lu Lin could clearly feel that Li Mi was stunned on the spot.

However, after a brief daze, she still followed Lu Lin's footsteps, but she followed more closely than before.

Before, he was still following behind, but now he was walking directly beside Lu Lin.

"Huh? This reaction doesn't look like he is afraid of this thing, nor does he have any signs of losing control." Lu Lin looked at Li Mi and thought in his mind, "Then this reaction is simply disgust or dislike of that kind of thing? "

Ok……

do not understand.

But in short, it would be great if Tanuki doesn't have a stress reaction. This girl is inseparable from him now. If he loses control because of this fruit, he won't know how to enter Oga City.

After entering the city, Lu Lin did not rush to inquire about information. He pretended to be wandering around and observed the people who bought these fruits to see if they had any common characteristics.

The result can be...

Except that none of these people looked particularly poor, Lu Lin didn't sum up any decent common characteristics.

This is very strange.

If this thing is really as addictive as Lan Jie said in the legend, it should be the people who eat it and become poor who buy more.

The current customer group looks like this is a relatively expensive fruit. Even the poor will not buy it, but those who have the conditions may watch and consume some.

In fact, five copper coins each, purely as a fruit, the price is indeed not low...

But it’s such an ordinary fruit, why can’t it be bought elsewhere?

Regarding this point, Lu Lin tried to ask some passers-by casually, and the answers he got were also very ordinary.

That is, this thing is only produced in Oga City. Its skin is thin and watery, making it difficult to transport. Once a large number of vehicles are loaded with bumps and bumps, the loss rate is very scary, so it is difficult to see it in other places.

Lu Lin also investigated the relevant legends everywhere, and the information he obtained was the same as what Lan Jie said. People here only regarded it as a joke, saying that the rumors outside were too exaggerated.

Everything is so prosperous, everything is so ordinary.

It was as if Lu Lin's worries were just unnecessary jokes.

Is that true?

Lu Lin still remembered that Lan Jie said that those who had their property emptied by Xishi and Oga City would eventually leave here and go to make money elsewhere, and then come back after making enough.

People who have been emptied of their wealth...

Lu Lin turned his attention away from the stalls and pedestrians and turned to those begging on the streets.

With just one glance, Lu Lin saw the problem.

The first is quantity.

The number of beggars is a bit too much. At a glance, there are more than a dozen beggars scattered on a street. Although the number of beggars in this world's cities is not too small, this number is also the same as in other cities Lu Lin has seen. More than two or three times.

The second is clothing.

Although the clothes on these beggars are dirty and messy, many of them are not particularly shabby, and it can be seen that the material and workmanship are not too bad.

In other words, they are not the kind of people who beg in a city all year round, but more like people who have just fallen into this situation.

Perhaps Lu Lin can get some information from them...

At least that's what Lu Lin thought at first.

But when Lu Lin actually went to chat with these people, he was shocked to find that these people were either gambling dogs who lost like this in the Oga City Casino, or they were fools who spent all their money in drinking and drinking there. It really doesn't matter much.

After a whole day of investigation, nothing was found, which made Lu Lin almost doubt his life.

Is that legend true or false?

Is it really just a pure legend?

He is a little hard to accept.

But so far, apart from Tanuki's resistance to this fruit, he really hasn't found any unusual clues.

until……

"Thank you for talking to me about this," Lu Lin said, putting three copper coins into a beggar's broken bowl.

"Thank you, a good man will have a safe life..." The beggar accepted the coins and bowed to Lu Lin to thank him.

Lu Lin smiled and stood up.

It was getting late, although since nothing could be found, it seemed like he should leave.

However, just when Lu Lin had taken two steps, he heard a sigh from behind him.

That was the voice of the beggar just now.

"Sigh... I have collected more than a dozen copper coins this day. When will this day end..."

"If I had known better, I should have agreed to their conditions from the beginning... Alas, it's a pity that I want to go back now, but I can't even raise the travel expenses."

Hearing this, Lu Lin stopped.

What do “their conditions” mean?

Are the conditions imposed by the casino?

Well, most likely.

but……

Lu Lin turned around and asked, "What do you mean by the conditions you just mentioned? Who do they refer to?"

Hearing Lu Lin's question, the beggar was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Oh, it's nothing, I'm just talking to myself."

Lu Lin was silent for a moment, turned around, knelt down in front of him again, and said, "Don't say that, tell me in detail, and I can get you a few more copper coins."

"Really?" The beggar's eyes lit up when he heard this, "How much can you give me?"

"Then it depends on whether what you are talking about is interesting," Lu Lin said. "If it is interesting... it wouldn't be a bad idea to give you two silver coins?"

Upon hearing this, the beggar's eyes widened immediately.

Two silver coins don't sound like much, but if you exchange them for food and travel expenses, it's enough to leave here.

Even if it's just another place to beg, it's still better than this place where a lot of peers are competing for business.

After thinking for a while, the beggar spoke.

"It's like this. Didn't I lose everything in the casino in Oga City?" he said. "Actually, when I left the casino, the people there gave me a proposal. As long as I agreed, they could give me enough. The travel expenses back home can even provide me with some capital for business, but as a condition, after I take the money, I cannot return to Oga City within a year."

Hearing this, Lu Lin's brows jumped.

coming!

This is it!

Isn't this the same situation as the businessman Lan Jie mentioned?

After asking for a day, he finally found a clue.

"Then..." Lu Lin suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to ask slowly, "What is the proposal they gave you?"

"This... I actually don't know very well," the beggar swallowed and said, "They only said that I need to give a little bit of my soul..."

Chapter 89 If you work as a security guard here, you will have to take 50 years of detours?

"casino?"

Lan Jie seemed a little surprised when he heard what Lu Lin said.

"Yes, that's what the beggar said," Lu Lin said. "As for these fruits, I really didn't know the reason. If it weren't for the fact that Li Mi was so resistant to them, I would have thought they were just a bunch of fruits. It looks like a loquat persimmon."

"Hmm... Could it be that the rumor is really wrong?" Lan Jie scratched his head, "But we still don't know what those people say about taking away the soul. Are we going to pretend to be bankrupt on purpose? Are you a gambler?"

"Ah? No, of course not," Lu Lin said with a strange expression, "Why should we check? We are going to find the beautiful forest. What secrets are there in Oga City? What does it have to do with us?"

"Uh... It seems right," Lan Jie nodded, "But I always feel that it's all about the same place. Maybe there is some connection behind it."

"It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but we can only wait and see before we know," Lu Lin said, "Have a good rest today, and we will set off to Oga City early tomorrow morning."

----

----

After all, Kuojia City is a satellite city of Ojia City, and the distance between the two can be said to be quite close.

If traveling by carriage, it would only take two days to arrive.

If it is an earth dragon, it will start in the morning and arrive in the evening.

Early the next morning, Lu Lin and others set off on the Earth Dragon.

We were walking on the main road, and along the way, the number of vehicles and earth dragons in front and behind us was probably the most that Lu Lin had ever encountered since he went out.

Although it is unlikely to be as crowded as in his previous life, it is still the road with the largest traffic volume that Lu Lin has seen since he came to this world.

You know, this is not a road in the city, but a suburban road connecting two cities.

Lu Lin originally thought about trying his alchemy staff when no one was around on the road, but seeing this, he gave up and spent another whole day huddled in his alchemy room.

It wasn't until evening that Lan Jie finally knocked on the door of Lu Lin's alchemy room.

"Huh? What? Are you there?" Lu Lin opened the door and asked.

"We're here, boss, come and take a look. Although I know this city is extraordinary, this is really beyond my imagination..." Lan Jie said.

"Beyond imagination? What do you mean?" Lu Lin was confused.

"Boss, you'll know after you come and see," Lan Jie said and went downstairs.
