Chapter 8 Market

"I guess that's it."

William looked clear: "What a pity, that's Franks, a big cadre in the Teutonic Cross. I think even this person is dispatched, so they should attach great importance to you and the conditions offered to you are also very good. If I had such treatment, I would definitely agree."

When Li Mochen heard this, he couldn't help but look at the friend with a strange look: "This is a gangster. Do you want to join them? In the future, drug trafficking, protection fees, forced good people to become prostitutes, and then like those guys lying on the ground?"

In the realm of Yuanqiu, there are also things similar to heroin and methamphetamine, which make Li Mochen deeply understand the evil.

"But more people have made a fortune."

William shrugged: "If I could get the invitation from Storm Angels or Black Prison Skeletons like you, why not? Not every gang will sell drugs, just like the 'Storm Angels', they make money by running various entertainment venues and protecting the entire neighborhood. The Teutonic Cross is similar, they are more engaged in smuggling business. Amo, you should know that people like me who come out of the Lower City District will not be able to get enough recommendation letters. Even if we are lucky enough to be admitted to those prestigious schools, we are unlikely to get scholarships. I don't want to be a repair shop like my father, or do odd jobs in restaurants, and are tired like a dog every day, and can't make a lot of money. In short, if I can't make a name for myself in the comprehensive cold weapon fighting and can't get an offer from the top 50 schools, then 99% will go to gangs in the future."

Li Mochen couldn't help but be silent. He knew that this was a common situation in Amerika society.

"Sometimes I really envy you. Not only are you very good at each subject, but you are also a sixteen-year-old third-level magic warrior. There are not many people like you in the whole school. I guess you will definitely be able to enter Ivy in the future. There is indeed no need to be a gangster."

William looked envious: "By the way, your family still has that house. If it is sold, it will be a lot of money."

Although the house Li Mochen lived in before was taken back by the bank, it was bought by Li Mo's parents many years ago, and most of the loan was probably paid back. After the auction, they will still be returned to Li Mochen.

"No need to think about this. The court has failed to sell for the second time, and they have lowered the starting price."

Li Mochen shook his head: "Even if I successfully sold it, the small company my parents run still has a lot of debts to pay. In addition, don't forget that I have a sister."

"How could this happen?" William's face was full of disappointment that could not be concealed.

Li Mochen was too lazy to talk to him, so he suddenly accelerated his pace and walked into a grocery store next to him.

※※※※

Li Mochen is preparing food, fruits, etc. for the next few days, and supplementing some daily necessities.

The place where he lives now is not only no storage in the refrigerator, but also not much toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, etc.

This feeling of returning to life made him very novel. In the past, he could not eat for a long time in the realm of the Yuantian, but only rely on absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to maintain his body's needs, which is what the immortals call "food energy". Then his body is also clean and natural. Even if it is contaminated with dirt, it can be burned with Samadhi True Fire. But after being reborn from his body, he had to worry about his five internal organs.

The grocery store that Li Mochen entered was about fifty in size, with shelves on both sides, separated by a circle of counters outside.

But the goods inside look dazzling, but in fact there are limited types. In addition to some daily chemicals, Li Mochen only bought some snacks such as biscuits and potato chips.

Then they walked over fifty meters away from the bakery and bought bread, cheese and butter, etc.

Then there are fruit shops and fresh food shops, and fruits, fresh vegetables and so on are also indispensable.

After buying all these things, it was already half an hour later. Not only did Li Mochen take a bunch of them, but William next to him also helped him carry a lot of them.

The latter was deeply moved: "It is really not easy to live alone."

He yearns for being independent from his home and having a place of his own, but looking at Li Mochen's appearance, he feels it is very complicated.

Li Mochen said helplessly: "William, are there really no grocery stores or bakeries in our neighborhood? You must come here to buy it from afar?"

"How could it be? If there were any in our neighborhood, wouldn't you see it long ago?"

William shrugged, but then he thought that Li Mochen had been in their neighborhood for less than four months and was either going to school or working, so he explained: "Just think about it, who would open a store there? He would be robbed of all the poor and crazy homeless people. A magic weapon or a pistol can be easily found. Even if you have a gun to defend yourself, you will be bankrupt by the gang in the community. There are only blood teeth and black prison skeletons, but they have no intention of doing this? Even if you open such a store, you may be smashed by enemies at any time. Some people do some retail business in the community, but they only sell it to acquaintances. A Mo, does the neighborhood you used to live in?"

He knew that Carrier Street, where Li Jian used to live, was a truly wealthy neighborhood. There were many patrolmen there, many powerful people living in it, and even two former senators of Congress, so the security was very good, and no gangster dared to make trouble there.

“It really is”

Li Mochen focused on searching the original owner's memory: "But it's still inconvenient. The grocery store over there is on the street and the fruit store over the street. It's better to buy all of them at this market street at one time. It would be great if you could gather the things you want to buy together."

When he said this, his mind suddenly moved slightly and fell into meditation.

When he was in the realm of Yuanqiong, what Li Mochen was most proud of in his life was not his achievements in his practice, but his own talent and sense of smell in business.

Since he took over the Shenxiao Sect, the sect's annual entry has increased year by year, increasing by a full triple.

Although this happened, he was ridiculed by many cultivators in the Yuanqiu Realm as an "Immortal King who got into the eyes of money". However, the scale of disciples of the Shenxiao Sect has increased by 50% over the years. Then, every core disciple often brought a large bag of talismans and elixirs, etc., and there was no worry about lack of materials. The deaths and injuries of the Shenxiao Sect in the past forty years have been greatly reduced, and thus accumulated enough foundation to deal with the demon calamity.

William was puzzled: "Buy what you want to buy together? Isn't that what Market Street is like? There's no need?"

"But if it wasn't concentrated in one street, but in a store? You can buy everything in one store, and the location is close to our neighborhood. Will you go buy it?"
