Chapter 262 The Strength of Gold
Moro was familiar with the antique miscellaneous industry and quickly found a reliable shipping channel. After some negotiations, he took the initiative to sell millions of gold coins and quickly sold the treasures that the team had found in only two or three hours.
After deducting costs, the final net profit was almost 90 million ghini.
This amount of money may not be saved in a lifetime for ordinary people.
However, Moreau and the others easily obtained it in just a few hours, during which they did not need to take risks or expend too much energy.
In a sense, the power of reading can indeed allow ordinary people to easily achieve class crossing.
After Morrow completed the transaction, he left the store that specializes in antique miscellaneous business, and then took Kurapika and Menchi to the next free trading market without stopping.
Although the income of 90 million denis came easily, it was not enough for them.
A few days later.
The evening of September 4th.
Morrow walked out of the antique shop. He sold the antiques and miscellaneous items he picked up today and made a net profit of 240 million guineas.
In the past few days, the three of them have visited almost all the medium and large free trading markets in Youkesin.
Including today's income, the total income is close to 1 billion.
This kind of money-making speed is already very fast.
But there is still a shortfall of 4 billion·
"There is a free market nearby, near the Sky Fountain Square. The stalls close there at nine o'clock in the evening. While there is still some time, you two will sweep the place. I will go to the street to try my luck."
After Moro calculated the profits, he took out a city map of Youkesin.
There are many red circles drawn on the map,
Each red circle represents a free trading market that has been swept by them, and there are not many places left to go.
Morrow simply asked Kurapika and Menchi to sweep away the nearby free trade market. As for himself, he planned to try his luck in a street specializing in antiques and miscellaneous items.
"Okay, I'll call you via mobile phone then."
Hearing Moreau's arrangement, Menqi agreed, put his hand on his cheek, and made a mobile phone gesture.
Kurapika nodded towards Moro.
Hence, Menchi and Kurapika headed towards the Sky Fountain Square.
Morrow watched the two people leave, then turned around and headed towards the street in the other direction.
There is still one day left.
Although there are many possibilities to get rich overnight in Youkesin City's antique and miscellaneous market, it is basically impossible to make a profit of 4 billion in one day.
Morrow was mentally prepared to borrow money from his friends again.
But before the auction starts tomorrow, of course, you can make as much as you can.
On the way to Skyline Fountain Square.
Menqi tilted his head and glanced at Kurapika's side face, and suddenly said:
"Two days ago, I heard from friends in the association that a new person got the license, and in less than a year, he won a one-star title for destroying the Phantom Troupe. I didn't expect that person to be you."
Kurapika heard this, looked at Menqi silently, and did not answer.
The street lights on the street ahead were on at this moment.
Menqi looked at the flashing street lights in front of him and said to himself:
"After I got my hunter's license, I planned to get a one-star title before I reached adulthood. Now it seems there is no chance, so I envy you, Kurapika."
"The annihilation of the Phantom Troupe is basically Moro's credit and has little to do with me."
Kurapika lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Besides, I have no interest in star rating. I just want to get back the eyes of my tribe."
"Gee, it seems you really don't care about this "one-star" title. 》
Menqi turned his head and glanced at Kurapika again.
She knew that Kurapika, as a one-star hunter in Xinpu, had already received the official notification from the association.
But after getting along with him these days, she noticed that Kurapika behaved calmly, as if this incident had never happened.
Even for Kurapika, finding a big item in the free trade market is more joyful than this.
Thinking of this, Menqi curled his lips.
She confirmed that Kurapika did not care about the one-star title, but she felt it was still necessary to remind Kurapika that the so-called one-star title was not just a false name.
It represents more authority and convenience, and can also obtain more benefits by virtue of the reputation of the title itself.
If you really want to get back all the flaming eyes, you should take advantage of the one-star title.
Just when Men Qi was about to speak, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and noticed a faint killing intent.
"Kurapika, someone is—"
"Hmm."
Without Menchi's reminder, Kurapika also felt the killing intent coming from the darkness.
His contract chains will remain in a materialized state most of the time.
On the one hand, you can mislead the enemy depending on the situation.
On the other hand, the soul-chasing chain has hostile perception, which allows him to detect the existence and movements of the enemy immediately.
So in theory, as long as Kurapika keeps the chain materialized, he can avoid any form of sneak attack from the enemy in advance.
Even if it detects hostility and the enemy's attack has already arrived, Soul Chasing Chain will immediately defend itself against the enemy and help Kurapika block the attack.
This is where the ability of Soul Chasing Chain is the most powerful.
However, under the mechanism of oath and restriction, the Soul Chasing Chain is actually the same as the Starlight Convergence. Although it has extremely strong defensive and interception capabilities, it also has a fatal shortcoming.
It’s just that in the first confrontation under normal conditions, this fatal flaw is not easy to be noticed by the opponent.
This can be regarded as a side reflection of the importance of intelligence in battles with telekinesis.
Relying on the reminder of the Soul Chasing Chain, Kurapika confirmed the existence of the enemy and immediately observed the surrounding environment calmly.
He and Menqi were already near the Tianji Fountain Square.
In addition to the relatively lively free trade market near the square, there is also a fee-based Skyline Botanical Garden.
Kurapika's eyes slowly swept across the pedestrians on the walking path. After thinking for a moment, he walked in the direction of the Skyline Botanical Garden.
When Men Qi saw this, he understood immediately.
Compared with the flow of people in Fountain Square and the Free Market, at this time, the commercial Skyline Botanical Garden is almost closed, so the flow of people will be relatively small.
In order to avoid affecting passers-by, it would be a better choice to lure enemies in the dark to the Skyline Botanical Garden.
Kurapika and Menchi turned to the Skyrim Botanical Garden, but their pace remained natural.
Among the crowds coming and going in the distance.
Three figures shuttled among the crowd, looking at each other through the gaps in the crowd.
Soon, while keeping moving forward, they gradually gathered in one place.
"We have been discovered."
Among the three, a young man wearing a black sportswear and black-rimmed glasses looked at Kurapika and Menchi in the distance with cold eyes.
Another bald man with scars on his face, with fierce eyes, asked in a low voice.
The remaining person did not speak, just looked at the young man with black-rimmed glasses.
"Those two people want to lead us to the Skyline Botanical Garden - just in time, that place is more suitable for doing it."
The young man with black-rimmed glasses said coldly.
The three of them were all born in Meteor Street.
But they also have another layer of identity as gang members under Shi Laotou Mo.
Happy years ago, the gangs led by the ten old men would deliver supplies such as firearms to Meteor Street in the name of dumping garbage.
In exchange, Meteor Street will provide useful talents to the gang forces.
The three gang members who are eyeing Kurapika are the elite talents that Meteor Street once provided to the gangs.
However, the attack on Kurapika was not an instruction from the gang, but an unauthorized decision by the three of them.
As for the motive, it is simply to avenge the Phantom Troupe.
In fact, many people in Meteor Street admire the Phantom Troupe.
Leave them alone, even among the gangs, there are some members who regard the Phantom Troupe as their idols.
Hence, when these three gang members from Meteor Street learned about the demise of the Phantom Troupe, they were not only shocked, but also filled with uncontrollable anger and hatred.
Many Meteor Street people who admired the Phantom Troupe had thoughts of revenge.
This style can be regarded as an old tradition of Meteor Street.
After these three gang members figured out the identity of the murderer, it happened to be the right time for Kurapika to come to Yu Kexin.
Hence, these three gang members, who were supposed to be responsible for maintaining the order of the underground auction, followed their conscience and left their posts without permission, just to come and hunt down Kurapika.
Let's go.
The young man with black-framed glasses has cold murderous intent in his eyes.
Skyline Botanical Garden.
After nightfall, the staff of the Botanical Garden began to clear the place.
Soon, as the closing time came, only the staff who were about to leave after get off work were left in the entire botanical garden.
Kurapika and Menqi arrived outside the botanical garden. From the blind spot of the security guard at the entrance, they ducked into the botanical garden with only a few lights.
A small number of luminous lamps are distributed on the lawn in the botanical garden and hung on hanging ropes above the walking path.
Kurapika entered the depths of the botanical garden alone, and finally stopped on the grass in front of a big tree.
The branches of the big tree are wrapped with many vines, like willows, hanging down to the ground below.
Kurapika stood among the many hanging vines, looking calmly in the direction he came from.
Under the weak light, three figures were revealed one by one.
It was the three gang members who had followed us all the way.
"Where is the other woman?"
The bald man frowned when he saw that there was only Kurapika.
The young man with black-rimmed glasses did not speak, but quickly scanned the surrounding environment. All he could see were lush plants of all kinds.
This kind of environment is most suitable for Tibetans.
But it is not that easy to hold your breath perfectly.
But the young man with black-rimmed glasses looked around and found nothing.
The other two people also took out silenced pistols immediately.
The next moment.
The three of them pulled the triggers at the same time as their thoughts agitated.
In an instant, bullets carrying heat shot towards Kurapika like rain.
Faced with the hail of bullets coming from the front, Kurapika's expression showed no signs of wavering. The soul-chasing chain in his hand automatically danced, forming an airtight line of defense in front of him.
Many bullets passed through the hanging vines, but were eventually blocked by the soul-chasing chain.
Dang Dang Dang Dang...!
As the vines fluttered, sparks splashed in and out.
Each spark represents the failure of a bullet.
The three gang members, led by a young man with black-rimmed glasses, naturally did not think that Kurapika could be defeated with ordinary firearms alone.
The bald man and another companion with thick dark circles all gathered more mental energy in the right hand holding the gun, but directly transferred the mental energy into the pistol.
The bullets shot out from the flames of the muzzle were actually mixed with diamond-shaped teleportation bullets, which increased the firepower by several levels in an instant by changing the rhythm.
However, even if the firepower suddenly increased dramatically, the defense line formed by the soul-chasing chains showed no signs of weakening, and blocked every thought bullet accurately and tightly.
"Can this be prevented?!"
The bald man and the dark-rimmed Xiu Ran were shocked.
They have been in gangs for many years and have long been accustomed to using firearms to fight.
In previous firefights, the firepower of the two of them was comparable to that of a team of fifty people.
But he didn’t expect to be blocked by a chain.
The young man with black-rimmed glasses was approaching Kurapika from the side. Seeing his companion's variable firepower being blocked so easily,
h was also secretly frightened.
At this moment in the darkness, a figure quietly passed by the bald man and the dark-eyed man who was continuing to fire.
That figure is none other than Menqi.
Having spent many years in the deep mountains and forests, she has developed the ability to attack and kill prey at high speeds.
The method is very simple, which is to use the superb "Absolute" to hide the aura, and then seize the opportunity to take action and take action as quickly as possible.
It is said to be simple, but also efficient.
Before the bald man and the dark-eyed man could react, a blood arrow suddenly shot out from the carotid artery.
The two men fell to the ground calmly, and the crisp gunshots stopped.
Without the suppression of firepower, Kurapika slanted towards the young man with black-rimmed glasses who had pressed over him. The soul-chasing chain in his hand was bowed like a snake, hanging still in front of him.
The face of the young man with black-rimmed glasses changed, and now he had to shoot the arrow.
His body quickly hit the hanging vines, but was hit hard the next second, and his chest was stained with a large amount of blood.
"What, what——!"
The figure of the young man with black-rimmed glasses suddenly stopped, and then he looked at the other chain that pierced his chest, and it was actually mixed in with the hanging vines.
This guy can control two chains at the same time.
From the very beginning -
He has thought up countermeasures and killer moves.
The young man with black-rimmed glasses fell to the ground and died.
Kurapika retracted the chain calmly,
"A defensive and interceptive ability that can accurately block attacks - a very powerful ability."
Suddenly, a voice came from the grass not far away.
Kurapika and Menqi were shocked when they heard the sound.
The reason was that the owner of the voice was very close to them, but they didn't even notice it at all.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not the same as them."
The person who spoke slowly walked out of the grass.
The visitor was walking past in well-dressed clothes, with a slovenly face and a thin beard. A stained scarf was casually wrapped around his head, and many hair strands were exposed from the gaps in the scarf.
The man dressed like this is none other than Jin Fulis.
Facing the wary glances of Kurapika and Menqi, Jin raised his fingers and raised his cheeks, expressing his intention: "Actually, my 'target' is Moro. "
Hhis voice had just finished,
Kurapika Shuran raised his hand and threw out the soul-chasing chain.
With a sharp sound piercing the air, the soul-chasing chain flew towards Jin like a snake.
Jin looked at the incoming soul-chasing chain with interest, but Feng Qingyun calmly moved his body sideways, allowing the soul-chasing chain to fly past him.
At the same time,
As he strode towards Kurapika, he casually raised his index and middle fingers and pressed on one of the locks of the Soul Chasing Chain.
Just listen to a soft sound.
The straight soul-chasing chain seemed to have been hit by a huge force, and the whole chain suddenly fell to the ground.
The power acting on the chain was then transmitted to Kurapika.
br/> There is no defensive reaction?
Jin seemed to see through Kurapika's mood swings and said seriously: "Is your chain a defense based on the opponent's hostility?"
Speaking of this,
Jin squinted at the soul-chasing chain that had fallen heavily to the ground.
"In other words, as long as I suppress my hostility or the idea of taking action against you, I can make it lose its due ability mechanism."
"!!!"
Kurapika's eyes changed dramatically, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
