Chapter 13, Black Street, Investment, Blackmail
In the dark alley, well, not really, the bright and clean streets, the bright environment, and the surging divine power fluctuations in the shops make people feel normal and regulated at first glance.
But who would have thought that the alley in front of him was actually a black street where all the black industries and smuggling in Yuanwang City gathered.
Of course, this street can be so blatantly displayed and even close to the inner city, becoming something that is well-known but not mentioned. The most important thing is that it comes from the approval of the city lord.
As for the reason, Yuanwang City is a newly developed city, a frontier land, a city facing the disasters of the local gods and various divine creatures in the Chaos Sea.
Or it is simply that the emperor is far away and no one else can control it.
But these have nothing to do with Du Yuan, with a bitter expression.
What good expression can there be when being forced to borrow money.
Those guys are really vampires. If there is a way, he doesn't want to deal with them at all.
In the middle of the black street.
Pausing in front of the most magnificent shop, pushing open the door, an evil and unusual black and red eye pattern came into view.
Du Yuan was not unfamiliar with this shop. It was a shop opened by the Eye of Truth, the most powerful force on the black street.
Of course, there has always been a rumor that the notorious Evil God Chamber of Commerce is behind this Truth Pavilion.
If you ask Du Yuan whether he believes this rumor, he definitely believes it. The black and red eye logo is the style of the Evil God.
And the manager of this shop is also an old acquaintance of Du Yuan.
As soon as he entered the shop, an old man with wrinkles on his face and no hair on his head, who looked like a big toad, appeared in front of Du Yuan.
He is the manager of this shop, an old acquaintance of Du Yuan, a greedy old vampire.
Of course, he thought so in his heart, but the expression on his face still had to be in place. He wore a bright smile on his face and took the initiative to say hello.
"Long time no see, old Zhang!"
Old Zhang glanced at Du Yuan.
There was a playful look in his eyes.
Du Yuan and him were old acquaintances. Old Zhang was not a big shot. He was a demigod who had not been promoted. He was just an old toad who was tempted by the big shot behind him to do things.
The city lord was also on guard. Although the various black and gray forces in the black street changed their appearance and became legitimate businesses, they set rules that the demigods and true gods in these forces were not allowed to enter the city.
So a group of white gloves were born, but how could a dog stop eating shit? Even if they started legitimate businesses, these black and gray forces did not forget their old business, lending, donating classes, selling intelligence and a series of messy businesses.
Before entering school, Du Yuan had joined the intelligence section of the power behind the Pavilion of Truth, and worked as a spy under Old Zhang. Of course, it was just an outsourcing among outsourcing. What he had to do every day was to hang around in the city with a group of young boys to collect information and sort out the useful ones and hand them over to Old Zhang to earn money for food.
Because Du Yuan was particularly smart, he also became the leader of the children under Old Zhang. He did quite well and there was a tendency for him to be promoted from an external to an internal staff.
Until Du Yuan's divine core was perfected before the age of sixteen.
Although the sacred contract stipulates that everyone can become a god, not everyone is qualified to enter the God Academy.
The divine core must be perfected before the age of sixteen, otherwise it will be regarded as a defective product by the God Academy. Although not being able to enter the God Academy does not mean that the road to becoming a god is cut off.
Strengthening oneself, embarking on the path of transcendence, advancing to demigod, and breaking into the sea of chaos to find a world to preach, this is also a way.
Or it is to join some black and gray forces.
Some evil ways can ripen the divine core by just gambling on luck and life, so the evil god forces never lack people to join.
Du Yuan was originally planning to join the forces behind Old Zhang, but Du Yuan's divine core was perfected before he was sixteen years old.
He kicked Old Zhang away, the toad, without any nostalgia.
Until now, it was somewhat awkward to meet again.
Things change.
He remembered that when he enrolled in the God Academy, this old guy also looked at him with a half-smile expression, as if he was sure that he would come back to find him.
Well, Du Yuan is really back. .
He sat in front of Old Zhang.
"Long time no see, Old Zhang!"
The old toad was not in a hurry, and even poured himself a cup of tea.
"Boy, private matters are private, public matters are public, are you ready?"
The expression on Du Yuan's face suddenly fell.
Not long after, Du Yuan angrily slammed the table.
"A magic card? Old Zhang, why are you so confused? One magic card is not enough!"
"Why is it not enough? You are going backwards. You found a group of rat people as your followers and you want to come to me to attract investment?"
Old Zhang had a calm expression.
Du Yuan smacked his lips, stopped being angry, and sat back in his seat.
"As expected of a cold-blooded old toad, you can only see moving things in your eyes. You called me Xiao Du at the beginning, but now you have become your boy, and you have no feelings at all."
He said faintly while shaking his head.
Facing Du Yuan's faint words.
Old Zhang's face did not change at all, and he still had that calm expression.
"You called me Grandpa Zhang at the beginning, don't do these empty words."
He also glanced at Du Yuan, with an expression that said you are still young.
Suddenly.
Du Yuan reported a place name.
"Rose Mansion!"
The atmosphere on the field was paused, and the expression on Old Zhang's face seemed to have not changed, but the sharp-eyed Du Yuan clearly saw his eyebrows raised.
"August 21st, Ms. Rose's Prayer Day."
As time came out of Du Yuan's mouth, the old toad could not sit still.
"How do you know, you little brat!"
The situation was reversed, and Du Yuan hugged his chest with a calm look.
"You didn't expect that everyone would know that not only did your old tree bloom, but the one that bloomed was that old lady! You are so lucky, so lucky."
Speaking of which, this old toad is really capable. It is so old and ugly, but it can bloom, and the one that bloomed is the mother of the executive of Yuanwang City.
The old lady is also an apprentice god, not a demigod, but her son is quite extraordinary.
All of a sudden, there was a trace of panic on the face of Old Zhang, and then there was the anger and gnashing of teeth after he reacted.
"Good boy, I didn't expect you to have a trick up your sleeve. Okay, I'll make the decision. I can vote for you two god cards!"
Du Yuan looked at the old toad in front of him and shook his head.
"Not enough!"
"Greedy boy! Do you think you can control me? Now the condition is back to one card!"
After saying that, the old toad snorted coldly, and there was a bit of danger in his eyes when he looked at Du Yuan.
This news is certainly not enough to control this old toad, not because of anything else, but because this kind of guy knows the price of being controlled.
And this news is not enough to control the old toad. Does the archon of the true god level really not know what his mother is doing?
It is surprising that the old toad is really willing to pay a god card for this news. This old guy is interesting. He is really sincere.
He still looks calm and composed.
