Chapter 664: A Grand Entrance, Boss Su! (3k)
“Ding ding!!”
The doorbell rang. Su Jiu put down the “fishing rod” in his hand, put on a coat, and went to open the door. Standing opposite was a girl with a duck-billed cap wearing a black express delivery uniform. The girl sized up Su Jiu and then peeked into the room, seeming to ask with some confusion:
“Excuse me… is Lord Jiu here?”
“I am, you are…”
Sizing up the girl’s attire, Su Jiu had some impression. Weren’t these the special delivery people he encountered in the Yue Nan region back then?
Most of them were around Intermediate Battle General level. The girl in front of him was a bit higher, already faintly approaching Half-King Level.
“You are Lord Jiu?”
The girl was a little surprised, but she quickly reacted, picked up her phone, and scanned Su Jiu’s left eye’s iris. After confirmation, she respectfully handed over a box:
“Li Qiyi, SF Express temporary employee. This is your package.”
She then handed over the black license on her body. The golden eye logo could be faintly seen on it, clearly indicating her mainland identity.
“Which Night Watcher are you from?”
Casually glancing at her black license, Su Jiu smiled and asked softly. He felt the vitality of youth from the girl.
Slightly startled, Li Qiyi swallowed and lowered her head, not daring to meet Su Jiu’s gaze. She could only steal a glance and whisper:
“Reporting to Lord, I am a Night Watcher from Huainan. Six months ago, I worshipped your deeds and wanted to become a great hero like you, so I secretly took on this delivery mission.”
Could the girl in front of him be one of the most active walkers in his ears?
She was this person’s number one fan. She had heard too many stories about him, from guarding Aers to the Battle of Thirteen Cities in Bear Country, each of which was inspiring.
“Huainan?”
Su Jiu blinked and looked at the girl in front of him again. He felt that he had never met her before, but he rarely stayed in Huainan, so it was normal not to have seen her.
Taking the box, he then opened the half-closed door completely and chuckled, “Would you like to come in for a sit?”
“No… no need.”
Still lowering her head, Li Qiyi seemed to be suppressing something. After holding it in front of Su Jiu for a while, she finally spoke in a barely audible voice, “Lord Jiu, I want to ask you what was your thought process in defending the hospital in Aers.”
“Thought process? Probably to earn merit points?”
Su Jiu remembered that he went to earn merit points and praise to exchange for things. To be honest, it was just a humanitarian rescue that he did incidentally.
Su Jiu’s words made Li Qiyi suddenly look up, a look of disbelief in her eyes. She stammered, “How… how is that possible? Didn’t you… go alone to specifically rescue those refugees?”
“No, I’ve never been a hero.”
Su Jiu paused for a moment and then slowly shook his head. Looking at the girl with the black duck-billed cap in front of him, he was a little confused. How did this Dark Night organization get such an innocent girl?
“But the people of Aers all regard you as an international hero, and even people from Bear Country do…” Li Qiyi came back to her senses and quickly said, wanting to express her thoughts to him.
However, Su Jiu interrupted her with a wave of his hand. He looked at her face seriously for a moment, then said softly:
“We are Night Watchers, not heroes. Heroes die very quickly. All you need to do is do your duty.”
“But… aren’t Night Watchers heroes who protect the people?”
Listening to the words of the elder she had always admired, Li Qiyi always felt unspeakably sad. She still spoke up, “We all joined because of this!”
Meeting the girl’s dark eyes, he caught a glimpse of her seriousness. Su Jiu smiled helplessly, raised his hand to pat her head, and turned into the house, leaving behind a faint sentence:
“Just do your own thing. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.”
“Bang!”
Closing the door as he went, Su Jiu didn’t want to discuss such matters too much. He was originally a villain, and this little fan still regarded him as an omnipotent hero, which was too ridiculous.
He really should let the old man teach her a lesson about the Dark Night organization.
After the small interlude, Su Jiu opened the small box. Inside lay several bags of energy instant noodles, and on the other side were Magic Crystals. However, these Magic Crystals looked particularly standardized, all with a uniform prismatic shape.
These were Magic Crystals cultivated by the country using special mindless monsters – prisms. Not only could the prism’s outer shell be used as city walls, but it could also breed two Magic Crystals through hybridization. It was a type of livestock product cultivated to avoid the mass hunting of monsters.
Su Jiu took out the standardized Magic Crystals and tossed them a couple of times. He then released General Feng and immediately started feeding him, instructing:
“These Magic Crystals were exchanged by me specifically. No matter how much is consumed, you must reach War God Level.”
Looking at the Magic Crystals in front of him, General Feng was not polite. With Su Jiu’s order, he grabbed the Magic Crystals in his hand and absorbed them. His level was the same as his original subordinates, which was a bit inappropriate.
An hour passed unconsciously. Three to four High-Grade Magic Crystals were gone, making Su Jiu heartache. But he quickly became numb. Feng had used all the exchanged High-Grade Magic Crystals, and it seemed they weren’t enough, so he asked Su Jiu for three Intermediate Magic Crystals.
However, the top-grade Magic Crystal was not used for a long time, as if it had another miraculous use.
“Gourd… is there an anomaly?” Yin Ling Qiyi Si Wu Jiu (Four) Jiu Feng Ba
As Feng absorbed the Magic Crystals, Su Jiu suddenly noticed something and picked up the gourd to examine it. Scanning the faintly glowing cherry blossom petals on it, he suddenly found a few maple leaves falling from the wine gourd…
Immediately after, the only top-grade Magic Crystal Su Jiu bought completely fused into General Feng’s chest. An extremely sharp blade aura erupted from his body, and then the blade aura slowly dissipated.
“Boss, I have successfully advanced. A total of one top-grade Magic Crystal, eight High-Grade Magic Crystals, and three Intermediate Magic Crystals were consumed.”
After retracting his aura, General Feng slowly stood up and half-knelt towards Su Jiu. As he moved, maple leaves seemed to fall from the room.
“Well done. In the future, I will try my best to upgrade your subordinates to Demigod Level for carrying out missions.”
Looking at his clearly strengthened aura, Su Jiu nodded. For some reason, he had a feeling that General Feng was very different from when he first met him.
Was it because the malevolent aura lingering on the blade turned into maple leaves?
“Thank you, Boss.”
General Feng cupped his fists slightly, still in a half-kneeling posture, but the flames in his eyes seemed to ripple inadvertently, giving him more of a human touch.
…
The next day, as soon as the eastern horizon turned like a flipped fish belly, Su Jiu got up quickly. After washing up, he started organizing the alchemical items to be sold that day.
“I only have two Intermediate Magic Crystals left. If I don’t replenish them in time, let alone my Shadow subordinates dying and having no money to revive them, even daily food and lodging will be a problem.”
Including what he snatched from Redbeard and what he carried himself, there were about seven Intermediate Battle King Level items, fifteen Initial Stage Battle King Level items, and over thirty War General Level alchemical items.
Oh, and one Little Blue Flower.
Those Shadow Death Warriors all depended on these items for support.
After putting these items into 8 different storage bags according to their level and whether they were classified as accessories, Su Jiu took out his blue-striped academic gown from his ring and put it on.
This academic discussion required a certain degree of formal wear, which he would comply with, after all, he, Su Jiu, was a good student.
As for all this, Su Jiu glanced at the other doors that were still quiet, and tiptoed out. How could he sell good things?
Of course, it was to go there in advance and sell the second-rate goods to the first batch of people. After the martial arts exchange, and after the first batch of people won, he would “carelessly” take out better goods, and then with a slight sigh, say – these are not many.
Hailing a taxi, Su Jiu arrived near the Tai Yi Dao Gymnasium within half an hour. Glancing at the sky that hadn’t fully brightened yet, he silently walked towards the main gate and spread out his “stall” with a white bedsheet.
On the upper left and right corners of the white bedsheet, wooden signs were erected, both written in Chinese and general English:
[War General Level Alchemical Items for Cheap Sale]—
[Honest Dealing, No Deception, No Small Jingjing Jun Yang Liu Ling Er Wo San Shi Ba Zha Si]
After doing this, Su Jiu then slowly put on the fox mask, appearing like a reclusive master.
He just had to wait for the first batch of leeks to appear. These War General Level alchemical items were definitely real, and he wasn’t truly scamming them. He could only say he was taking advantage of their desire to win.
“War General Level Alchemical Items Big Sale? What does this mean? Are there big sales for alchemical items?”
Within a few minutes, a voice speaking English with an accent sounded. The person looked at these goods with some confusion, as if thinking he hadn’t woken up.
Following the voice, Su Jiu saw a girl with thick glasses wearing South Asian traditional attire. The girl looked here with suspicious eyes, then pointed to the sign in front and said softly:
“Of course, there is a sale. If I’m lying, look at the sign on the right.”
The attire on the person should be the academic gown of some university in South Asia. See, this is the customer.
The girl with glasses looked at the “poisonous oath” on the sign, then looked at Su Jiu’s waist-length green silk, and her mouth twitched. She also noticed Su Jiu’s attire and narrowed her eyes, asking:
“You should also be a student preparing for the exchange, right? With these treasures, why don’t you keep them for yourself?”
Su Jiu chuckled and said, “I have better ones.”
The girl with thick glasses was stunned and couldn’t help but pout. She glanced at the price tags on the alchemical items again and muttered to herself:
“The cheapest War General Level Power Belt is only fifteen Initial Stage Magic Crystals, and the effect is to increase strength by 20% at the same level or lower, which can completely compensate for my disadvantage when being approached.”
They would have the first exchange with the Great Stick Country team. The teachers themselves were slightly weaker, let alone the students. If there were no accidents, they might even lose badly…
Su Jiu still had a smiling expression.
Looking at Su Jiu’s appearance, the girl with glasses felt something was wrong, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint it. But after all, she wasn’t stupid, so naturally, she had to try out these alchemical items. She immediately asked:
“Boss, can I try them?”
Su Jiu didn’t agree immediately but smiled mysteriously and leaned closer to the girl’s face, whispering, “Yes, you can, but you have to promise me something…”
“A requirement?”
Smelling the alcohol on her breath, the girl with glasses blushed and hurriedly took two steps back, staring nervously at Su Jiu’s fox mask. Would she make any strange demands?
Seeing her reaction, Su Jiu grinned like a little fox, nodded, and said with a smile, “I’ll give you a 20% discount, but you have to ask other students from your school to come and buy them.”
