The black market is not just shops that sell special materials and items. In fact, it also has some restaurants, dessert shops and so on.

But compared to the ordinary shops outside, these shops in the black market use more special materials and provide more attentive services.

Of course, the price will be correspondingly much higher.

For example, the shop where Li Jiu brought Sophie and the others to, Black Forest Songs, is a shop that specializes in sweets. Its signature product is a Black Forest cake, which is said to be entirely made of black grass.

Black grass is a special fungus that grows under many large islands. It can effectively protect the island from being eroded by sea water and some special sea creatures. It is a guarantee for the long-term existence of the island. Therefore, collecting black grass is prohibited on most islands.

, the kingdom has even enacted strict laws, those who collect black grass will be sentenced to more than ten years in prison, and some islands will even strangle collectors directly.

But black grass has an extremely strong fragrance and sweetness, so it has transformed into an extremely high-end banned ingredient that cannot be eaten in ordinary places.

Therefore, Black Forest Song's Black Forest Cake sells for 50 gold pounds each.

Li Jiu bought two in one go, one for Sophie and the others to eat, and one to share with Old John.

It's expensive, but the taste is really good. The taste feedback of black grass is unprecedented.

Eating cake, Li Jiu started a new round of simulation.

"Simulating loading..."

"On the 21st of the Storm Moon (September), 1637 AD, you found Old Tangson, the boss of Dodo's Nest, and asked him to help treat Talina's mental disorder.

Under the treatment of Old Tang Sen, Talina returned to a certain degree of normality, but she was still sensitive to the content of the adventure, her memory was broken, and she easily lost control.

That day, you spent a lot of money to hire the bounty hunter "Billion Light Years".

On the 22nd, the Gu Ruide arrived belatedly.

You sent a large amount of money to your subordinates, allowing them to buy the best medicines and equipment to arm themselves, but you did not tell any information about the red hat.

That night, you received a reply from Loyintech, stating that Arthur Royer will arrive in Nassau on the 25th.

On the 25th, you turned on the destiny temporary interference device on the ship.

You disguised yourself as a lightless fish to meet Arthur Royer, and at the same time guided him to cooperate with yourself. You and Arthur Royer reached a cooperation.

On the 26th, you bought the news on the black market that Red Hat will sail on the pirate merchant ship Blackbird tomorrow.

On the 27th, you continued to use the destiny short-term interference device while tracking the Blackbird out to sea.

In the early morning of the 28th, you launched an attack on the Blackbird an hour in advance. Deep Diver Matt took the lead in infiltrating the Blackbird, but found no trace of the Red Hat.

You captured the Blackbird easily. According to Arthur Royer's judgment, Red Hat probably used rapid astral movement and escaped as soon as he sensed danger. However, the moving distance of rapid astral movement is very short.

He can perform reverse tracking.

Through reverse tracking, you came to a sea area. In the center of the sea area is a small piece of land with a coconut tree on it.

Arthur Royer sensed that Red Hat was under the sea and that he might have entered some strange subspace.

You are ready to enter."

Gone.

Still unable to kill the red hat, Li Jiu made another correction. He launched a surprise attack an hour in advance just to avoid Blackbeard's arrival.

As a result, Red Hat's danger perception must have been activated, and he ran away early. His danger perception was really annoying. From another perspective, it also showed that the Extraordinary of the Astrologer class was really too difficult to kill.

But this was not the biggest headache for Li Jiu. What troubled him the most was the subsequent development, which really... caught him completely off guard.

This expansion...

too……

Li Jiu really didn't expect that the red hat would actually run into the sea area where the shipwreck was.

Moreover, there is actually a subspace under that sea area?

His thoughts were a little confused.

In fact, according to this simulation, the plan against Red Hat is already half successful, because it has forced him into a complete desperate situation.

The subspace beneath the sunken ship was obviously extremely dangerous.

Regardless of whether it was the expedition team of the Governor's Mansion, Talina's expedition team, or the team that the Sunless Fish mingled with, they all had a narrow escape in that subspace. Even if they could escape by chance, they would still be insane and completely crazy.

To a certain extent, forcing the red hats into that subspace seems to be a very feasible tactic.

But I'm afraid that he didn't die, he escaped, and he still had some sense to take revenge on Li Jiu.

That would be very troublesome.

After pondering, the system prompted Li Jiu to renew his subscription and continue the simulation.

He refused. He only had one last simulation opportunity left, and he couldn't just waste it.

He thought he could do a deduction on the plan of forcing the Red Hat into subspace.

As Li Jiu refused to renew, the simulated rewards also came:

"The simulation is over. A random reward will be generated for this simulation. The reward item is: Mind Stabilizing Potion Formula."

Mind stabilizing potion?

What is it again?

Li Jiu looked at it with his insightful eyes:

"Item Name: Mind Stabilizing Potion Formula

Type: Recipe

Rarity: Excellent

Material: Parchment paper

Evaluation: This is a recipe for a mysterious drug called Mind Stabilizing Potion. It is a drug specially developed by the Lance military for the "Coconut Project", which can allow people to restrain their reactions to all changes in the outside world to the greatest extent.

It can achieve absolute calmness for a long time without any signs of confusion or madness. It is a miracle drug for special operations. Although the 'Coconut Tree Project' was stranded, this drug has become an important equipment of Lance's special army."

This medicine sounds like it might be useful, especially for Talina?

But it probably won't work now. Talina is completely insane now, but if Old Tang Sen treats her and takes this medicine, she might be able to tell what she went through in that subspace.

.

"It's almost done. Let's go and let the boss check on her condition." Li Jiu's simulation ended, and Sophie and Talina over there were almost finished eating.

Sophie ate a little unsatisfied, licking her lips constantly and looking at the empty cake plate.

"We'll eat again later." Li Jiu looked amused and said.

Sophie couldn't help but nodded, but she was a little worried: "Do you really want that person to treat you..."

"Believe me." Li Jiu didn't use his ability, he just said with a smile.

Sophie no longer hesitated, nodded and said: "Okay."

Li Jiu is really trustworthy.
