Chapter 36  : Solved The Case

Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows. “Doesn’t it cost 1.1 million dollars?”

“That’s right. This Wall Breaking Pill is indeed worth 1.1 million. If there’s a mistake, you can ruin my reputation.”

The boss was neither servile nor overbearing as he replied calmly.

“Then why is there an additional 50,000 dollars?” Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes.

“Oh, you’re talking about this?” The boss was enlightened. “The additional 50,000 dollars is the price of the box. This small box is made of special materials. The pill can effectively retain its medicinal effects when put inside. There won’t be any problems for at least ten years.

“If you don’t need the box, 1.1 million is enough.”

“…Alright.” Su Jingxing’s eyes were bright. He didn’t waste any more time talking and brought out the suitcase containing the cash. Opening it, he let the boss count the money.

The latter took out a bill counting machine. In front of Su Jingxing, he took his time to make stacks of Great Yu notes, and counted them one by one.

When he took out 1.15 million Great Yu dollars, there were only a few lonely notes left in a corner of the box.

“Farewell.”

Su Jingxing took back his suitcase, opened the small box, and checked the Wall Breaking Pill inside. After confirming that it was as described on the Internet, he put away the box and left the shop.

,000 dollars for a box was indeed expensive, but it was worth it.

It could store a pill for ten years without it losing its medicinal properties and resulting in a deterioration.

Such a box could be considered a treasure case.

Even if not the Wall Breaking Pill, he could store other pills in it in the future.

Of course, the most important thing was that Su Jingxing didn’t feel heartache spending this sum of money.

It was equivalent to picking up a Wall Breaking Pill and a treasure case for free.

In addition, they were unlikely to be counterfeit products.

Firstly, the black market severely cracks down on counterfeit goods. Once discovered, not only would the merchants be fined, they would also be beaten up. They could lose their limbs or, even worse, their cultivation.

Therefore, few dared to sell counterfeit products.

Secondly, the Wall Breaking Pill was from a shop, not a temporary stall.

The shops in the black market were all operated over the long term. They were more trustworthy than the regular shops outside.

Therefore, Su Jingxing was not worried about buying counterfeit goods.

Besides, after the increase in his soul power, his perception had become increasingly exceptional. He could clearly sense a special energy contained within the Wall Breaking Pill.

This energy was very similar to internal force!

Su Jingxing resisted the urge to swallow it at once.

Opening one’s dantian was not something that could be done in one go.

Most of the time, one would only consume the Wall Breaking Pill after having a certain level of confidence from several attempts to succeed in one try.

Su Jingxing was not in a hurry.

Since it was a rare visit to the black market, Su Jingxing did not leave immediately.

Carrying the suitcase, he strolled leisurely on the street.

Suddenly, a stall caught his gaze.

No, more accurately, it had attracted his attention.

In that split second earlier, Su Jingxing overheard an unexpected piece of news.

While stunned, he strode over.

“Everyone, everyone, I’m not lying. Really. Do you think I would dare to lie about something like this?”

At the stall, a short and fat man wearing a mask tried his best to explain to the crowd in front of the stall. “Such advanced technology has never been leaked before. If not for the annihilation of the Dagger Gang and a Black Tiger Gang branch, the people outside wouldn’t have known that the technology that we’ve never valued has developed to this extent.

“If this continues, perhaps one day, even a first-grade powerhouse will be helpless against the might of technology!”

“I believe what you said. All kinds of scientific weapons are improving every day. One day, they will surpass a first-grade expert or even leave a first-grade expert helpless. But, it’s too early to say all that now. What has that got to do with the silencers you are selling?” A tall and burly man with a rough voice said from among the crowd.

“That’s right. You claim that these little toys at your stall are the reason why people outside heard nothing when the Dagger Gang and Black Tiger Gang branch were destroyed. This really isn’t credible, unless…”

“Unless what?” the pudgy man pressed.

“Unless you prove it to us!” the person who spoke said firmly.

“Yes, let’s test it out and we’ll know if it’s the truth.”

“Boss, no matter how extravagant you make it sound, not many people will buy it unless they see it with their own eyes.”

“…”

The others agreed.

Su Jingxing blended into the crowd and remained silent.

Even though he realized that the short and fat man who owned this stall was the person who bought the Essence Energy Pills from him last time.

The short and fat man was very cautious. Not only did he change his mask, he also roughened his voice.

But Su Jingxing still recognized him.

For a very simple reason. There was a special aura coming from this fellow.

Su Jingxing remembered it after smelling it once.

Moreover he had the same figure, so it basically confirmed for him that it was the customer from last time.

The previous time, the short and fat man was still a customer. He bought Su Jingxing’s Essence Energy Pills. This time, he had become a seller and was selling high-tech silencers. His identity was ever-changing.

Of course, what led the crowd to gather in front of the stall and collectively confront the short and fat man was the silencers that he sold. The function seemed a little exaggerated.

The short and fat man actually claimed that the people outside could not hear anything when the Dagger Gang and Black Tiger Gang branch were destroyed because the murderer had placed such special silencers at the scene!

They would be more accurately known as silencing devices.

Unlike the long-barreled silencers on pistols, the silencing devices sold by the pudgy man looked like a box, palm-sized and round.

He priced them at two hundred thousand Great Yu dollars per piece, so naturally no one was convinced.

Facing the growing crowd, the pudgy man could only ‘helplessly’ agree.

He picked up a silencing device and pressed it gently on the center and sides.

In the next second, everyone present heard a peculiar sound wave spreading out from the stall.

In less than ten seconds, they could no longer hear anything from ten meters away.

The external sound was actually blocked out!

“Good stuff!”

“How was that achieved? What’s the principle behind this?”

“It should be the fluctuation theory. Tone is a type of sound wave. As long as the transmission of waves is cut off, it is naturally impossible to hear them.”

“…”

The crowd started discussing animatedly.

Su Jingxing was also surprised by the whole process.

Such a small but effective silencing device was indeed exquisite.

There was no need to mention the large version, it was available long ago.

But it was the first time that Su Jingxing had seen one so young and powerful.

If there were more than ten such silencing devices placed at the scene when the Dagger Gang and Black Tiger Gang branch were wiped out, then there was nothing puzzling about why battle cries at that time could not be heard outside.

In other words, this doubtful point was cleared up!

It made sense.

Even the barbarian sent out by the mastermind was equipped with high-tech mechanical battle armor .

It was reasonable for them to own such exquisite silencing devices.

In comparison, Su Jingxing was more curious about where the short and fat man learned that such a silencing device was placed at the scene of the massacre.
