Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 382: Star Gold Framed and Imprisoned (30)

It was not yet time to get off work, and there were few people in the corridor outside the room.

From time to time, the groan of metal fatigue could be heard in the corridor.

A fat man suddenly walked out of the next room. He had rented this house earlier than the original owner. The two had been neighbors for a long time but had never spoken a word to each other.

The man just glanced at Xing Lu, then looked away without interest.

The residents here have evolved pale, frost-resistant skin and enlarged black pupils due to the long-term polar night.

Xing Lu looked at him and saw indifference and numbness in his dark pupils.

The planet is too far away from the sun. Some people living on Samuel will never feel the warmth of the sun in their entire lives, and the people here are generally cold and not very friendly.

Even the landlord who seemed enthusiastic just now, in fact, the original owner had spoken to him no more than a few times.

The main industry on the planet Samuel is the mining of special minerals in the earth's core. People living in slums on the edge of the city account for half of the city's population, and most of them work as miners.

Xing Lu relied on her memory and took two suspended buses before arriving at the black market hidden at the junction of the slums and the upper city.

The black market sells all kinds of things, and the people who come and go are all different.

Xing Lu walked on the narrow black market. She first went to an inconspicuous small shop to get a fake identity, and then went to a pawnshop to sell the warden's laptop.

The warden's computer is a high-end product on Samuel Star. When Xing Lu took it out, she obviously felt that the merchant's eyes lit up, and she finally sold it for a lot of money.

Coming out of the pawn shop, I passed by a tavern with a sign that had a picture of a liquor called "Dark Frost."

This is fermented by a special yeast, and the user will temporarily gain infrared vision ability.

This liquor sold very well in the area and was often visited by miners living nearby.

Xing Lu observed that the miners were infected with a bioluminescent substance called geocentric worms, which are said to emit a final burst of intense light before dying.

Xing Lu walked into the tavern and glanced at the light tablet in her hand on the counter: "Give me a glass of Dark Frost."

Just a few seconds after he opened his mouth, a glass the size of draft beer was placed on the table with a "bang".

True speed.

Xing Lu took a sip and tasted a strong fermented flavor.

Unlike the wheat aroma of beer, the taste is extremely strong and strange. The first sip is very strong and the aftertaste is long.

Xing Lu was a little sleepy at first, but she woke up instantly after taking a sip.

Such a strong flavor must not be added with water, no wonder this pub is doing so much business.

On the resource-scarce planet of Samuel, this kind of strange-tasting liquor is an extremely rare drink.

After drinking half a glass of wine, Xing Lu clenched her fist and tapped the table lightly:

"I want to ask you something."

...

After coming out of the tavern, Xing Lu really felt that her vision had become much brighter.

She went straight to the place the bartender had just mentioned, and sure enough, she found a small shop in an inconspicuous place in an alley.

There isn't even a house number. If you don't pay close attention, you might not even notice there's a shop here.

Xing Lu walked in and found that there was no one inside.

Some common protective products are placed on the counter.

Xing Lu knocked on the counter glass: "Any special items?"

The shop was silent.

After three breaths, Xing Lu waved her hand: "I have money."

In the darkness, an old man with a thick beard walked out.

"Rustwater or candy?"

"Is there a 'cooler'?"

The old man stared at Xing Lu, then turned around with drooping eyelids and said, "Follow me."

This is a common term in black market transactions.

Bilge water represents low-quality fuel or some spacecraft parts of unknown origin.

Candy refers to hallucinogens or some psychoactive drugs.

Cold weapons refer to smuggled weapons.

The old man took Xing Lu through a long corridor and into a dark room.

There is a cave inside.

The dim blue xenon lights shone on rows of weapons of various styles, reflecting a dangerous cold light.

"Those who changed jobs are all here. See which one you want."

Xing Lu understood that these were all unregistered weapons that had bypassed customs inspection and were smuggled through wormholes.

Hot weapons are easy to detect, so Xing Lu directly bypassed them and went to the cabinet of cold weapons.

"What's this."

Xing Lu picked up something that looked like a knife handle but no blade.

"Void Long Sword."

The old man said, "Injecting spiritual power can condense it into a solid blade. This can pass any security check."

Xing Lu tried to hold the hilt of the knife and injected mental power into it. Sure enough, a long white light knife condensed from bottom to top at the blade edge.

The style is a bit like a katana, with a long and slightly curved blade.

Xing Lu turned her wrist and swung it, and the sharp blade made a sound as it cut through the air.

It is really easy to use.

"Okay, I'll take this one. Do you have a signal jammer?"

"Have."

The old man didn't expect that the customer would be so straightforward and even gave him some real candies after the transaction.

On Samuel Planet, candies are rare.

After leaving the black market, Xing Lu took a hover bus with her bag on her back and returned to where the spaceship was parked before.

Just as she was about to take out the pass to activate the hatch, someone suddenly approached Xing Lu from behind.

"Hey young lady, hello."

Xing Lu turned around and saw a young man wearing a faux glossy cloak.

After seeing Xing Lu's face, the man showed a hint of disappointment, and then quickly smiled.

"Is this spaceship yours?"

Xing Lu nodded.

"Oh, this spaceship is so beautiful! I've never seen anything like it. Where did you get it?"

Xing Lu asked, "What's the matter?"

The man gave what he thought was a very friendly smile. "Okay, ma'am, I'm asking if you can sell me this spaceship? You name the price."

Xing Lu looked him up and down, with a half-smile on her face: "How much can you afford? I'll give you 10 million interstellar coins."

"Ten million!?!"

The man was shocked: "You are robbing me!"

Xing Lu raised her eyebrows, as if questioning what he had just said, saying that he could name his own price.

The man was a little embarrassed: "The most expensive high-defense mecha on the market is only over five million."

Xing Lu shrugged. "This is a new type of transport aircraft that hasn't even become popular on the main planet yet. Space jumps can save half the energy compared to ordinary ones. I only got it because of my connections."

Xing Lu raised her hand to look at the laptop as if in a hurry, not giving the other party time to think: "You don't have money to buy it, right? Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Seeing this, the man quickly reached out: "Hey, hey, I didn't say no! I'll buy it!"

Xing Lu curled her lips and reluctantly took out the laptop to scan it for him.

"Hey, before you leave, help me set up the permissions."

After all the systems were set up, Xing Lu looked at the man standing happily in the cabin, turned around and left with a smile.
