Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

Xi Sui'an had already changed her appearance. She took on the appearance of the deer-horned boy she had seen before. She looked pure and innocent, totally unlike a mortal girl.

With the furry antlers on her head, the gate guards couldn't help but let down their guard when they saw her, and she sneaked into Aurora City very easily.

The system was speechless, feeling that her host was using her mimicry ability to develop some weird hobby.

Xi Sui'an pulled a handful of the antlers on his head. It felt really good, but he didn't know how much the simulated feel would differ from the real thing.

She left the city gate satisfied.

"The mermaids act very quickly. They posted my search warrant so quickly. What a powerful network they have." Seeing such a quick reaction, she sighed and felt very alone.

Xi Sui'an looked around Aurora City. The architecture was like the Steam Age. Gothic buildings that stretched from the human world were lined up one after another. The street lamps on the roadside emitted soft light. The metal decorations on the streets made her feel as if she had crossed time and arrived in the past.

People of all races came and went on the street, most of them showing the characteristics of the sea people. On the benches sat casually dressed bards, singing slowly.

A witch set up a fortune-telling stall with a sign saying "No free money allowed", and it looked quite lively.

The sheriff, wearing a black single-breasted shirt and a stand-up collar cloak, was patrolling the street. He walked over slowly and said something to the witch, who looked as if she had lost her parents.

He glanced over calmly and could see that the other person had a gun belt on his waist.

She fell into a slight silence: "Why do I feel like I have arrived in the Steam Age?"

The system understood the host's reaction very well and laughed out loud: "The culture of foreign lands originates from the human world. Many races with long life spans have a favorite era style. It's just a personal hobby.

For example, the previous lord of Aurora was a human alchemist from the Victorian era in the mortal world. He deliberately transformed Aurora, probably hoping that he could live forever in that time period. "

The passage of time would not change it, but he could recreate what he considered his homeland.

Xi Sui'an fell silent.

If she becomes stronger and lives longer one day, will she also use this method to retain something?

"Host, you have to get used to it. After all, there are old monsters from all periods in the foreign land." The system was very calm.

Xi Sui'an looked around, saw an alchemy shop, and walked over.

"Can their guns kill demons and monsters?" She felt that bullets posed too little threat to aliens.

"That's a magic-forbidden bullet. Once it's injected into the body, it can instantly seal the power of the origin, making it impossible to call upon the origin. Most people will just be able to surrender."

Huh? Good stuff!

Xi Sui'an's eyes lit up: "Is this thing sold on the black market?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid you, host, can't afford it for the time being." The system said with pity.

"..."

Xi Sui'an walked into the shop called "Wanxiang", pushed the door open, and the pleasant sound of wind chimes rang out.

The various alchemical materials and ores in the display cabinets in the store showed their silent presence to her in an orderly manner, and her eyes became slightly warm.

All the most suitable array materials for her directional sea creature summoning technique are available here, but she just can't afford them.

The main material is high-quality space boundary stone, which costs 71,000 yuan a carat, and she needs five grams.

High-quality alexandrite from the Isolde Mountains, 31,000 per carat, she needed 20 grams.

The Abyssal Fire Crystal at the bottom of the Lost Sea costs fifty thousand per carat, and she needs thirteen grams.

A Naga scale costs 90,000 yuan, and she needs five.

One specimen of Leaf-petaled Algae Dragon, 150,000.

The crystal coins in Xi Sui'an's mind clattered—8.6 million!!

These are the five main materials, not even including the money for other base metals and ores!

We also need to hire an excellent alchemist to make the array!

Preliminary calculations put it at over 10 million!

Xi Sui'an was petrified in this shop.

After a long while, her consciousness drifted away and she said, "System, this array plate costs 8.6 million... It is more expensive than the artifact, the Vast Sea Conch..."

The system was silent for a moment, then stammered guiltily, "This can be refined once and used forever... What's more... What's more, after several epochs... prices must have changed..."

Very good, where can I earn tens of millions of crystal coins?

Her current net worth is only a few million.

With only 90,000 yuan in his pocket, Xi Sui'an fell into serious thought.

A dwarf with pointed ears and a big beard looked at the strange guest carefully and said, "What do you want to buy, guest?"

Xi Sui'an came back to his senses from his thoughts and remembered his original purpose: "Oh, boss, I want a map of an alien land."

"The detailed version is 40,000, and the simplified version is 20,000. Which one do you want?" The dwarf boss was familiar with it and introduced it skillfully.

"... a detailed version."

Xi Sui'an reluctantly swiped her card, and the boss took out a cowhide roll from the shelf and handed it to her: "Here, take it."

"By the way, Boss, I heard that Aurora City has the largest black market in the foreign land, right?" she asked curiously.

The dwarf blinked his watery eyes at the antler boy in front of him and paused: "That is not suitable for a rookie like you to go."

Xi Sui'an shook his head: "Just going to meet him. How can you travel here and not broaden your horizons?"

The dwarf boss felt sympathetic and said, "You Linlu children are really adventurous. Never mind. Aurora's black market is no secret anyway."

He waved his hand and said, "Just go to Pudding Alley in the east of the city at midnight, but be careful to conceal yourself. Once you are recognized, you will be in a lot of trouble."

"thank you boss."

"You're welcome." The dwarf paused, "You'd better go to the black market to buy a mask. I also sell them here. Do you want one?"

Xi Sui'an twitched his lips and said, "I want the cheapest one."

"Here, this basic one." The dwarf walked to the other side of the shelf filled with various masks, rummaged through the bottom layer, and finally found a pure black half-face mask without any frills.

"Ten crystal coins of sincerity."

Coming out of the Vientiane store, Xi Sui'an looked up at the sky and said, "It feels like the time is almost up, let's go to Pudding Alley now."

Pudding Alley was very easy to recognize. When we arrived at the East District, we saw groups of people wearing cloaks walking in one direction. Xi Sui'an changed his mimicry again, transforming his racial characteristics into the most popular sea creatures in coastal cities. Then he put on a mask and quietly blended into the crowd.

The black mottled stones on both sides of the alley looked quite ancient, and the few scattered shops were all closed, with their wooden doors locked. As expected, they only do business during the day.

She was about to follow the black-robed man in front of her when she caught a glimpse of a shop that was still open. She saw that the shop was filled with basic black masks with a price tag next to them: Five Crystal Coins.

Xi Sui settled down and sighed silently. Her boss had made a profit of five dollars from the price difference.

She only had forty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety dollars.

"Forty thousand dollars, we can only hope to find some bargains and then sell them at the auction house to see if we can make the difference. System, you have to be a little more reliable from now on."

"No problem!" the system vowed.

Xi Sui'an stepped into the narrow wooden door in front with great worry.
