155: Chapter 155 Although you're very good at talking, unfortunately... it's not my area of ​​expertise.

Qian Mo was bewildered.

Yesterday, he suddenly received a notice from the shop manager, saying that he had snatched a good job for him, and the work location was right at his Masked Coffee House.

Let me mention first, Ming is his direct superior and boss in the Dark Pavilion, and he is also considered his guide, holding the status of half a Master.

This coffee shop is actually just an external front, an excuse to provide them with an alibi during investigations by the Security Bureau after a mission occurs. It is located at No. 28 Old Street, in an extremely remote location, also to avoid the flow of people...

Back to the main point.

Qian Mo naturally accepted the task the manager snatched for him. Anyway, it was just a nursing task, and with the manager on the side, he didn't need to take action. It was a job where he would get paid for doing nothing, so why not take it.

But now, because of his hand injury, even though he was very careful, he still couldn't hold the tray steady.

And in the eyes of Ming, who is also a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, this is absolutely not allowed.

So after feeling the manager's gloomy gaze, he had no choice but to resign himself to his fate.

But inexplicably, he felt a bit nostalgic.

Although this old man looks very rigid, he treats people very well, which is quite like his Master in his previous life...

And when he retreated to the side and was finally able to carefully observe the two parties in the transaction.

His eyes were glued to the back of the young girl wearing a mask.

White hair is not uncommon in Kyoto, but this familiar high ponytail style is not common. And even though she deliberately changed her voice a little, he could still hear a familiar flavor.

Coupled with her physique, temperament, and those subconscious actions...

Hiss~ It can't be that coincidental, right...

Thinking of this, he glanced at the small bottle containing the star marrow on the table.

[Ding! Detected 'High-imitation star marrow', this item is made by some unscrupulous merchants, it can be said that all kinds of evil have been done.]

[Just like when you buy a small disc and go home, happily pull the curtains to start appreciating it, only to find that the content is actually the previous news broadcast!]

[Please host, pay attention to discrimination.]

"..."

Looking at the gentleman who was talking eloquently about how he got this bottle of star marrow, and then looking at the young girl who was staring at the star marrow on the table with a serious face, Qian Mo's body moved slightly.

And in the next moment, he felt a dangerous aura instantly lock onto him.

That was Ming's warning.

Indeed, as the cleaners and notaries of the Dark Pavilion, they cannot interfere with the normal progress of the transaction, as this concerns their professional reputation.

"System... help me find star marrow in the System store."

[Ding! star marrow: 1,000 System coins per catty, do you want to buy it?]

Qian Mo glanced at the System coin section in his personal panel, which displayed a big "0".

Alright... almost forgot that he had spent all the System coins on the random lucky potion earlier...

[Ding! Tip: One hundred spirit crystals can be exchanged for one System coin.]

Sigh... No way...

Qian Mo sighed helplessly again. His Star Body is a big black hole that absorbs spirit crystals, so he needs spirit crystals very much now and cannot take them out to exchange.

He immediately flipped through the System space again, wanting to see if there was anything he could pawn.

This was the first time he had checked the System space so carefully after such a long time. Once he saw it, he was amazed to find that there were so many items in it.

Phantom Star Liquid, two specialized daggers, spirit crystals, The Lost Star Soul, upgrade card...

Hmm? Wait!

Qian Mo stared fixedly at the Soul-like object floating in the System space, and that card flashing with golden light.

"The Lost Star Soul and an upgrade card?! When did I get these..."

A flash of electricity flashed in his mind. He remembered that when he accepted the System task "True Hero" before, he didn't seem to listen to the so-called task rewards. These should be the so-called rewards.

The upgrade card is easy to understand, but what is The Lost Star Soul used for?

So, with curiosity, he clicked on the item introduction, and there were only these two short words on it:

Feeding.

...

Why does he recognize both characters, but it's so hard to understand when put together?

Feeding? Feeding who?

And just when he was puzzled...

"Bang!"

A loud noise instantly pulled him back to reality.

He looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was the sound of the young girl suddenly slapping the table.

"Moss... 10 million? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"Hey hey, Young Miss, don't be anxious. Isn't this to give you room to bargain... Look at my bottle of star marrow, the quality is the best of the best, with a purity as high as 99.99%!"

Moss pushed the star marrow to the young girl, letting her check it herself, and even took out a very professional detection gun, letting the young girl check it herself, not worried at all that the item would be swapped, looking like he had a clear conscience.

Xing Yaoyan did not take the detection gun, but silently picked up the bottle, her dark golden eyes staring fixedly at the liquid in the bottle.

From Moss's perspective, the young girl's eyes looked dreamlike in the star marrow, as if a starry sky was hidden inside.

"Hehe..."

Suddenly, the young girl laughed. Although she was wearing a mask, he could feel that her smile must be very beautiful.

"Miss Xing, your eyes are beautiful."

"Thanks, but... I'm only offering 1,000 spirit crystals!"

"What!"

Moss couldn't keep his composure.

I asked for 10 million, and you cut it directly to 1,000? Are you using a Dragon-slaying blade!

"Miss Xing, you really know how to joke. I'll lower it a bit, you increase it a bit, let's make friends. 5 million spirit crystals, look, I've cut it in half, it's very sincere."

Moss spread his hands, his eyes were sincere.

But Xing Yaoyan could only sneer at this.

At first, she couldn't tell, but when she really observed the star marrow up close. She almost immediately found the problem—because she had no feeling for it at all.

That's right, as a Star Beast, a professional foodie, she has a natural craving for all items with energy fluctuations, especially things that can directly improve strength.

When she first saw star crystals, wasn't there an unprecedented desire for them in her heart?

It was even more amazing when she stole spirit crystals at the Youfeng City Security Bureau; she didn't even see the spirit crystals, but was attracted by them just by feeling.

So... although you, Moss, are really good at bullshitting, unfortunately... I am a professional in this field.
