The First Evolution

Chapter 176: Greed

Chapter 176: Greed

As Dunland spoke, he stood up, walked into the sun with this wallet and slowly tilted the angle.

Fang Linyan immediately discovered that the leather surface of the black wallet actually began to turn light. As the angle changed, it turned into a mysterious light purple. When the angle turned a little more, the purple became dark blue again. The changing between 3 colors was really eye-opening. Not to mention seeing it, no one had ever heard of it before!

Dunland sighed and said,

“33 years ago, when I was an apprentice, Master Jack once encountered leather goods with changing three colors. He specifically asked us to come and watch it. Unfortunately, the leather goods stored in the store were stolen that night. In order to give the customer an explanation, Master Jack insisted on chasing for a mile before being stabbed and he died on the roadside in the end.”

“At the time, I still remember Master Jack’s pale face with a distorted and unwilling expression. I didn’t expect that 33 years later, I would see this kind of leather with special effect…”

Having said that, there were already some fluctuations in his eyes. After a slight pause, he looked at Fang Linyan sincerely,

“If you are willing to sell, then I can pay a good price, definitely not the price of the pawnshop! It is the price of an old guy’s love for memories!”

Fang Linyan nodded slightly, neither saying to sell or not to sell, but he said thoughtfully,

“From your experience, it can be said that you have seen thousands of leather goods every year, but you only see this kind leather goods with changing 3 colors after 33 years. It must be extremely rare then?”

Dunland said,

“Yes, because it left a deep impression on me, I have also learned more about it. Although I have not learned about the crafting method of 3 colors leather goods, I know some similar methods for making 2 colors leather goods. It can be said that the process is very complicated. You must prepare special dyes first, then paint the bottom with light color dyes, spray the surface into a darker color, wipe it off according to special needs or rub it with a cloth wheel to produce a beautiful 2 colors effect. “

“Not only that, this kind of leather goods also has very high requirements for leather processing. The original raw hides must be soaked in a mixture of lion urine, elephant penis, quicklime and salt. The specific formula of the soaking liquid is even a top secret in the local. After soaking, you need to rub the pigeon dung powder to soften it, so that the dyed color will last forever. Although this unique formula sounds disgusting, it is a must to make 2 colors leather goods.”

Fang Linyan nodded after listening,

“Then sir, surely such unique processing skills are not everywhere, right? Where is its birthplace?”

Dunland said,

“Istanbul, Manuya area.”

Hearing this news, what can Fang Linyan do? He could only sigh, then said,

“Thank you very much for your message.”

After speaking, he picked up the black wallet and was about to leave. Just after his hand was pressed on the black wallet, Dunland’s hand pressed hard on the back of Fang Linyan’s hand and said seriously:

“Boy, I hope you will seriously consider my proposal. I can offer a good price for this wallet.”

Fang Linyan smiled and took away his hand,

“No, you can not.”

Fang Linyan turned around and walked out.

Seeing him leaving, Dunland’s face suddenly became gloomy. He was so furious that his facial muscles twitched nonstop. After a while, he rang the bell.

The polite staff came with a smile immediately,

“How can I help you?”

Dunland said word by word,

“Follow the kid just now, then find a chance to snatch the black wallet from him!”

The staff shrugged and smiled bitterly,

“Sir, this is against the rules.”

Dunland said anxiously,

“Then you can at least send someone to keep an eye on him right! I’ll find Tommy for the rest!”

The waiter said,

“Okay.”

Then he pressed his earphone, whispered a few words into the microphone on his chest, and sent someone to follow him, asking them not to lose track of Fang Linyan.

As a result, 3 minutes later, he said to Dunland,

“You can rest assured, sir. This man didn’t go far. He went straight to Lishen Pawnshop 300 meters away. I sent Zanji. He is our best man.”

Dunland breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, then he immediately frowned. Because he knew very well that the appraiser Howard was also experienced. This guy could probably see the effect of changing 3 colors of the wallet. If he gets it ahead of me… Thinking of this, his heart felt as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat.

So Dunland couldn’t help but stand up and dial the phone,

“Hello! Boss, I have something for you to help…”

***

After Fang Linyan went to 3 pawnshops in a row, he got almost the same information.

Strictly speaking, the news that Dunlant revealed was still the most, but as far as the current news was concerned, the information collected was still not much.

He frowned and analyzed the chaotic information, trying to find something useful from it. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. For ordinary people, the 9 points of perception was very sensitive. He continued moving forward as usual. His peripheral vision had caught the reflection from the shopwindow beside him, and he immediately locked on the person who was following him.

Fang Linyan sneered in his mind. His body was digitalized after all. He had an overwhelming advantage against ordinary people with 10 strengths and Basic Melee LV2. He wasn’t really afraid if there were 2 to 3 people.

However, because the equipment obtained in Noah Space couldn’t be brought into the real world, Fang Linyan was still very afraid of firearms. With just a mere 50HP, so what if his body was digitalized? Without armor, he would be dead in a few shots.

Thinking of this, he already had a plan in his mind. He continued to walk for 300 meters, then he looked around and walked toward the public toilet in the central park, looking like he was going to the toilet.

Now it was 5pm, and the number of people in the Guanship District would only slowly increase after 7pm. It would reach the peak after 10pm.

So at this time, there was not a single person in the central park, let alone the public toilet.

Zanji, who was following Fang Linyan, was overjoyed to see this. He secretly thought: This guy is really too cooperative. I was still wondering how to do it in plain sight, and this guy goes to a secluded public toilet.

So Zanji, the leader, waved his hand immediately, letting his subordinates surround the public toilet, then he would go in and beat up the kid. He would first snatch the black wallet, as for the cash, watch, phone and other valuables, they would be their overtime charge today.

However, as soon as Zanji and the rest showed up and walked toward the public toilet, they were surprised to find that a group of people also walked out from the valley beside. They were Ah Biao’s gang from the Lishen Pawnshop. They had had conflicts before. When they got closer, Zanji felt something immediately. He pointed at Ah Biao who was wearing a black waistcoat and said angrily,

“Hey, what do you bastards want to do?”

Ah Biao glanced at the public toilet, then at Zanji, and he said arrogantly,

“Of course, I’m going to the public toilet to shit! You want my shit?”

Zanji gritted his teeth and said,

“I don’t want to talk nonsense with you. Our boss gave us a task, saying that the kid stole our stuff. I’m going to take it back! Give me 5 minutes, then you can shit in it for a day! “

Ah Biao looked up to the sky and laughed,

“What a coincidence, that kid inside also stole from our shop. My boss told me to take it back. Why don’t you give me 2 minutes, I will let you enjoy my shit for a day?”

Zanji was not a good man, but he knew that Ah Biao was good at fighting, so he was quite afraid of him…

But Ah Biao was directly shaming him in front of his subordinates!

Zanji was also a person of dignity. He drew the knife without a word, but he still restrained himself to use the back of the knife… so a big melee started.

Why did Fang Linyan hide in a seemingly dead-end like a public toilet? Because he didn’t want to run at all. He just wanted to use the terrain of the public toilet to create a 1vs1 situation. He had already noticed that there were 4 people behind him. Such a ragtag team, he could make a surprise move to subdue 1, then take down another one…

Usually at this time, they should be defeated if the casualties exceed 50%. at least they would be frightened and demoralized, then he would take them down one by one.

As a result, Fang Linyan endured the unpleasant smell in the toilet and waited patiently, but the gangsters didn’t come in at all. He walked out in suspicion. When he reached the door, the guy tracking him ran in like a dog. He was bleeding all over, looking extremely miserable.

It was Zanji who was beaten so embarrassedly.

Immediately afterward, Ah Biao came in with a watermelon knife and kicked on his stomach, then he bashed him up badly, making him moan in pain.

Fortunately, Ah Biao still knew how to hold back. He used the back of the watermelon knife. Even so, the bashes quickly let Zanji lose his resistance.

TL: Easy fight for him, right?
