"Getting things sooner means we can make better plans, right?"
The walnut box was pushed aside.
The black market boss suddenly lowered his voice and said slyly, "Actually, I also offer loan services here, with very low interest rates. Would you like to consider it?"
"I can pay back the money slowly later, but I can't keep holding onto a grudge and slowly settle it, that would be too painful."
Lin Che: "......"
You're really good at sales.
And you could tell from my mask that I was really short of money.
Maybe it's better to forget about taking out a loan to buy a gun...?
Wait a minute.
Lin Che stared at the black market boss for a couple of seconds.
It doesn't seem to work either.
I can get a loan now through my own ability, and of course I can also choose not to repay it later.
You black market dealer can't possibly call the police to arrest me, can you?
As for threats from the Yakuza... he doesn't seem too afraid.
"Okay, lend me $2500 first, and I'll take this gun with me."
"No problem, please provide your real identity information, boss."
"Then I won't take out the loan."
Lin Che grabbed the bullet and turned to leave.
Unofficial loans are even demanding real identity information.
Pooh!
What a heartless bastard.
Before the black market boss could even react, Lin Che had already walked seven or eight meters away.
Watching Lin Che's retreating figure, the boss clicked his tongue and silently added him to the list of people to be closely monitored.
After wandering around the black market for a while, Lin Che finally found an antique dealer.
However......
"I really can't accept this." The antique dealer put his hands on his lower abdomen, his face full of difficulty.
Lin Che frowned. "The Mud Ginseng Association doesn't have time to deal with this right now. I'll give you a 99% discount. Hurry up and take it, okay?"
"this......"
The antique dealer's pianist-style gray hair was already messy, but seeing that Lin Che seemed to be planning to force a sale, it became even more disheveled.
His small eyes darted around quickly. "I don't really have the ability to accept it, but I can point you in the right direction."
Lin Che raised an eyebrow. "Speak."
The antique dealer, like a guide, pulled out a small piece of paper from somewhere and handed it over.
“This guy’s business is much bigger than mine. Most of the goods we collect end up being handed over to him.”
"The price is fair, and the items are easy to handle. You can contact him directly."
Lin Che wasn't surprised; it's normal for people in the antique business to have layers of intermediaries.
"What's this person's name?"
"Qian Jiang Yi".
Next, we had somewhere else to go.
First, find this boss, Qianjiang, to sell the vase, and then come back to buy the M70.
"Forget it, I won't buy from that shady merchant. I'll just look around some more."
After the business was finished,
Lin Che stretched and yawned on the spot.
Now it's time to carefully pick up the items.
He just checked with [Detective Instinct] and there are quite a few highlighted items in this area that can be picked up.
It wasn't just the items in the nooks and crannies; many of the items on the vendors' tables were also highlighted.
But you can guess.
Anyone who dares to touch anything on the table will be immediately wanted on the black market.
There are always "security guards" in the black market to keep things in check, and Lin Che wouldn't take anything unless it was particularly eye-catching.
After a few minutes of exploration and collecting, Lin Che's backpack contained quite a few more items.
You can find not only Japanese yen, but also US dollars here.
The quantity is not large; it costs 56,000 Japanese yen or 20 US dollars.
However, this place "produces" a very important new item: gun parts!
Lin Che found gun parts of varying quality here. According to the item descriptions, they could be used to repair or upgrade the corresponding guns.
This game really does have a crafting system!
However, he doesn't even know where the businessman is right now.
Even if it's found, it will probably only be used to repair the weapon's durability.
Crafting legendary quality firearms... without even thinking about it, the materials required would be so plentiful it would hurt your liver.
Lin Che wandered around in all sorts of nooks and crannies without anyone bothering him. After making sure he had taken everything he could, he returned to the main road in the middle.
But a single glance from his eyes stopped him in his tracks as he was about to leave.
On the gun dealer's table
That exquisite walnut box that has not yet been returned to the warehouse,
It is now shimmering with a faint, collectable light.
Why am I starting to feel a little tempted?
The bullets are already in storage, two hundred rounds.
That should be enough to break through from here.
Lin Che quickly scanned the area and could see eight security guards, all of whom were armed.
We can definitely win.
However, we still need to consider the possibility of further reinforcements from the black market.
Forget it.
After much deliberation, Lin Che decided to back down.
He's like the protagonist of games like Halo or Titanfall.
If you run out of health, you can restore health by breathing.
Even if you get shot, you will still suffer damage, and once you reach the threshold, you will probably still die.
Lin Che didn't want to risk his life to test whether he could start over after death.
So try to play it as if you can only complete it in one life.
We'll come back for beef once we've improved our strength.
Let's go find Inui Shoichi first.
Lin Che left the black market quickly without any obstacles.
However, instead of contacting Inui immediately, he first looked for a public phone booth.
The game's current timeline is still in 1999, and the phone booth is too convenient for someone like him.
The call was answered quickly.
However, the person who answered the phone was not Inui Shoichi, but the other party's secretary.
Lin Che quickly explained his purpose.
Upon learning that he wanted to sell the Romanov vases, the secretary became noticeably more serious, stating that he needed to consult with his boss before providing a time and place for the meeting.
Then wait.
While waiting, Lin Che took another good look at the fine M1935 in his backpack.
That gun is pretty cool.
The brand-new factory version is so bright it's dazzling.
The gun has a robust and imposing presence; it's clearly a great companion for tough guys.
After he finished appraising his beloved gun, Inui called back.
"The underground parking lot of Beika Bank? No problem."
This should also be considered a popular spot for taking photos, since this is the very bank that Akemi Miyano robbed.
Although he had just picked up some money on the black market, it was still a bit tight for taking a taxi, so Lin Che had no choice but to continue traveling by foot and bus.
Nearly two hours later, Lin Che finally arrived at the underground parking lot of Beihu Bank.
no way.
Even with a map, he still couldn't figure out the bus routes.
I missed my stop several times, and the route changed several times as well.
"You're Blood Wolf?"
The lighting in the underground parking lot is destined to be poor, and the lights that come on from time to time actually create a tense atmosphere.
Inui Shoichi's secretary, Nakamura Tetsuya, pushed up his cool glasses and fixed his gaze on Lin Che's mask.
Blood Wolf, a nickname given to him temporarily.
After he leaves here, he will no longer call himself Blood Wolf, even if he calls himself Husky.
"It's me." Lin Che stepped closer. "Will you make the deal here?"
Tetsuya Nakamura shook his head. "Let's go somewhere else. My boss wants to see you. He needs to inspect the goods and also wants to talk to you about something."
"Don't worry, my boss is a businessman."
"Businessmen have their own way of talking; there's not so much thrill and excitement involved."
really?
But I think businessmen often use dirty tricks, especially when there's no need for a financial war to break out.
Not only dirty,
It is also filled with simple and direct bloody violence.
Chapter 17 Whose Business Is It?
However, after thinking about it, Lin Che agreed.
This broken vase can't be kept in my hands forever; I'll have to sell it eventually.
"Let's go then, my time is quite precious."
"it is good."
Tetsuya Nakamura's car was actually parked right next to him, which was really open and aboveboard.
Lin Che naturally sat in the boss's seat.
Next, it's time to close your eyes and rest.
Tetsuya Nakamura's serious expression made him seem like an old-fashioned stern man, completely eliminating any desire for small talk and creating a sense of unease.
