Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter Extra 53. Stranger (1)

[Extra 53. Stranger (1)]

“It’s really strange…why am I afraid of this stranger? He is obviously not tall and has a slim figure like a woman. He doesn’t seem to be anything special.”

The vendor muttered, shaking his head and continuing to pretend .

water.

After careful questioning, Joyner was lucky enough to find out the location of this butcher shop. This place was not in the market, but in a “rich area” with a better environment.

The “rich residents” in the city are quite exaggerated. Most of the buildings in each house are complete. The three- or four-story structures are made of large pieces of sandstone. I don’t know if they were demolished from other buildings or from other buildings. Where was it shipped?

Although signs of damage can be seen in some places, they have all been renovated, giving it the feel of a pre-civilization villa.

Various plants are planted in front of some houses. The shops are at the end of a street market and are more neatly repaired than other places. But what Joyner cannot ignore is that across the street is a large slum with dirty water flowing across it.

It seems that there is only one street between hell and heaven.

Joyner found the place, looked up at the name of the store, and found some obvious gang signs on the exterior wall of the store.

She pulled up her cloak to cover her red hair, then carried her pocket and walked straight into the butcher shop with Harris.

The light in the shop is surprisingly dim, and the old leaves are slowly rotating on the wall. Joyner saw a thin man wearing a greasy apron, chopping meat with a machete.

Behind the counter on the other side sat a tall man with unshaven beard and smoking a pipe. He had eight large gold rings on his ten fingers. In front of the counter were two neatly dressed customers paying their bills.

After the customer left, Joyner, who was waiting patiently, turned around and moved slowly.

In fact, the waiter had noticed Joyner and Harris a long time ago, but he secretly looked at Joyner with sideways eyes for a long time and did not come forward to say hello.

It wasn’t until the butcher shop owner’s eyes prompted him to stop what he was doing, and reluctantly came to Joyner to ask.

“Excuse me, what can I do for you?”

In fact, the disgusted waiter wanted to say to Joyner: We don’t accept beggars here.

But his boss was obviously more discerning than him, because he saw the rare snakeskin pocket on Joyner’s shoulder, which was lightly reflective, and he didn’t know what kind of valuables were inside.

“Pah!”

Joyner walked directly to the counter without saying a word and threw her snakeskin bag on it.

“Oh, what are you…?”

The man looked confused. He looked at the snakeskin pocket and then at Joyner’s face hidden in the shadows. He was confused.

“How much do you think these things are worth?” Joyner said calmly.

When the snakeskin bag was opened, the man’s eyes gradually widened and glowed.

I saw a bag of roasted meat in front of me. It was white and the meat was crystal clear. Although it was overcooked in some places and turned slightly black, the alluring aroma of the meat could not be concealed. Seeing this, even the butcher shop owner couldn’t help but crane his neck.

“You, you want to sell these game meats?” The waiter was stunned for a while, then raised his head after a long time and asked knowingly, “What kind of meat is this?”

Joyner did not answer, but looked at the tall man behind the counter quietly. .

The boy’s expression was unusual and exaggerated at first. Although he quickly pretended to be calm, Joyner had already noticed it.

“Excuse me, do you want to sell this meat?” The boss immediately changed his face and asked.

With a smile on his face, he rubbed his hands and walked out from behind the counter respectfully. When passing by the waiter, he raised his chin and secretly showed a fierce expression, as if to signal the other person to get away.

In the eyes of the butcher shop owner, this is a rare guest!

He knew very well that such a large piece of mutated snake meat brought by Joyner was really rare and could be called the best. It has always been on the market in Hidden Sand Castle and was priceless. The rich people here would rush to buy it when they saw it.

If you can buy it and sell it, you will definitely make a fortune.

“Yes, I want to sell them all.”

“Oh, sell them all?” the boss said in surprise.

“Yes, I heard that your place is the largest butcher shop. I would be very grateful if you could buy it.”

“No, no, no, we should thank you. This is the meat of a mutated snake. Right? The size of this meat is really amazing. How big is this snake?” The boss looked at his pocket and his eyes widened. “As far as I know, things like this are rare now. I remember it when I was a kid. Often…”

The boss wanted to say something more, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Joyner’s sad eyes under the shadow of her cloak, and half of the words got stuck in his throat.

“I’m just asking you, are you interested in purchasing these things? I want cash.” Joyner doesn’t accept flattery at all.

“Uh, of course, of course! That’s necessary.” The boss quickly avoided Joyner’s gaze and carefully examined the snake meat.

“It’s thicker than a tree trunk. It’s top quality. It’s so rare… Tsk, tsk!” The boss couldn’t stop praising it, and the more he looked at it, the more he was amazed.

After a simple weighing, the boss made an estimate with his fingers. His brows gradually wrinkled and beads of sweat seemed to appear on his forehead. The reason is simple. If we calculate it based on the market price of the best snake meat, he simply can’t afford that much money.

“Have you seen enough?”

“Well… based on this, it’s a bit excessive…”

The boss didn’t want to lose this big deal, so he racked his brains to think of a solution, with a hard-to-give-up expression on his face.

“What’s wrong, haven’t you calculated the price yet?” Joyner crossed her arms and urged again. She wanted to complete the deal as soon as possible, and the longer it took, the more danger she felt would come.

“Ah, no, it’s not. This matter is a bit…how should I put it.” The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead and tried to give a reasonable explanation.

“Are all the snake bones gone?” The boss suddenly raised his head and asked.

“Yes, I threw it away.”

“Ah, tsk tsk, that’s such a pity. If it still had the bones, it should be more valuable. Now… oh, it’s a pity, it’s a pity…” The boss shook his head, thinking How to keep prices down.

Joyner said coldly, “It doesn’t matter, just calculate the boneless price.”

“Of course, of course.”

In order to ease the embarrassment, the boss also tried his best. He was thinking in his mind while complimenting, “I believe that you must have many and touching experiences to get such prey, right?”

“That’s none of your business. If you want to buy these goods, just put in your price.”

Qiao Ina had already seen the other party’s little thoughts. After saying this, she had already put one hand on the snakeskin pocket, trying to take it away.

“Hey no! Wait a minute, I’m just afraid that I made a mistake. I just re-estimated it. These game meats are probably worth this price,” the boss gestured with eight fingers, and the gold ring sparkled. But he continued, “But I don’t have that much cash on hand now. Can you give me two days’ grace?”

“Eight hundred?”

“Yes, eight hundred rupees.” The boss replied while observing his words.
