Lu Kuan ignored the chef's self-talk, and immediately looked down to check the system prompt.

'Don't be nervous, it's just slightly spicy'

”

It turned out to be a fortified formula? Ha ha~

Lu Kuan couldn't help laughing: It's very good~ It's very good~

This thing is extremely versatile, for example, if you put a serving of this kind of thing in a charcoal-grilled crab, the buff effect will increase the hit rate from the original 1% to 1.5%.

Moreover, because it is a percentage increase in effect, the growth of this thing is very considerable, and in the future, with better recipes, the income of this recipe will also increase.

It's a pity that Lu Kuan's cooking skills are not enough now, and there is no way to see the actual effect for the time being, so Lu Kuan immediately set off to the bank, preparing to save the recipe first, and by the way, take some cooking materials to practice his skills.

There are many winding alleys on both sides of the road, which seem a bit mysterious and terrifying under the cover of night.

"Friend, do you want something exciting?"

"Absolutely rare magical items, brave adventurers, you really don't come in and have a look?"

……

At night, there are several dark figures hidden in almost every alley, muffling their voices and peddling their "precious goods" to passing players.

Most of these people are black-hearted NPC vendors, selling contraband, such as stolen goods, alchemical products involving dark magic, and many other items that are forbidden to be sold in Lava Keep.

Since they don't dare to walk the road during the day, it becomes a paradise for black market merchants at night, and many players are happy to try their luck here and exchange some good things.

Although most of the time, players will be tricked by savvy merchants.

Right now, the hand of one of the human merchants almost reached Lu Kuan's face, and the shiny jewel hanging on his finger shone brightly under the illumination of the magic torch on the street.

Lu Kuan had to stop, looked at the gem in the other party's hand, and said with a smile: "Such a big deep-water sapphire is enough to buy half of the lava castle~"

The other party heard the teasing tone in Lu Kuan's words, and knew that it had been exposed, but he didn't look embarrassed at all, but smiled: "Hey, I see that you are an expert, I have other good things here......"

"No need~"

Lu Kuan directly interrupted the other party's words, walked directly past the other party and walked forward, while muttering to himself: "If it is Menggo's goods, you can still take a look at ......"

When the human merchant heard Lu Kuan's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but pout, and said in a disdainful tone: "I'm afraid that Mr. will be disappointed~ because you won't see Mongo anymore~"

"Huh?"

Lu Kuan stopped when he heard this, turned around and frowned and stared at the human merchant: "What do you mean?" Do you know the whereabouts of Mongo? ”

The human merchant just smiled treacherously and didn't talk, Lu Kuan walked back and looked at the other party seriously.

This man is not tall, and the whole person is hiding in a black wide overcoat, which is also the usual dress of most black market merchants, and the other party also looks at Lu Kuan, and his eyes show a sly look from time to time.

Lu Kuan knew these NPCs too well, and smiled when he saw this: "What's your name?" ”

"Just call me Black Fox." The human merchant looked cautious and replied in a low voice.

"Black Fox...... Hehe, knowing is fate, this is for you,"

As he spoke, Lu Kuan took out a small bag of silver coins, threw it to the other party, and then smiled: "Tell me the information about Mongo, and if I am sure that what you said is the truth afterwards, I will give you double the reward." ”

The black fox reached out and grabbed the cloth bag, picked out a silver coin and tossed it in his hand, put it in his mouth and bit it hard, and his eyes immediately became excited: it was a genuine silver coin!

"Sir, you are really generous~ May the smiling lady always favor you~" The cunning look on the black fox's face was immediately replaced with a flattering smile, and he said respectfully to Lu Kuan.

Ms. Smiling was referring to the goddess of luck in the game, Taimora, Lu Kuan ignored the other party's sycophants, and said directly: "......What is the matter of Mongo?" ”

"Yes, yes, look at my brain......" The black fox patted his head and explained to Lu Kuan with a smile.

It turned out that just last night, Mongo, who had disappeared for a few months, suddenly appeared on the black market, and claimed that he had obtained several priceless treasures and wanted to sell them with a few big customers.

Black Fox, who is also a black market merchant, is very curious, and at the same time secretly covets the treasure in Menggo's hands, so in the middle of the night, he and a few companions find the place where Menggo is hiding.

But before they could make a move, a team of well-equipped guards suddenly appeared, captured Mongo from the room with lightning speed, and turned the place where Mongo was hiding upside down.

The Black Fox and his companions witnessed this scene and were quite frightened, and when the guards left, several people hurriedly searched Mongo's hideout, and found nothing, and then left quickly.

Lu Kuan listened quietly to the black fox's narration, frowned and pondered, and then asked, "Do you see what those guards are wearing?" ”

The Black Fox thought for a moment and replied, "They are well-equipped, but they don't look like the guards of the Lava Castle, the armor is dark gray, and there is a red triangular insignia on the shoulder guards, but the light was too dark at the time to see very clearly......"

Lu Kuan thought quickly in his mind: the red triangle emblem...... Army emblem, or family crest?

"Thank you."

Lu Kuan nodded at the black fox, turned around and wanted to leave, but the black fox hurriedly said when he saw this: "Hey, sir, if you want to find me in the future, just go to a black market and ask about the black fox......"

At this time, Lu Kuan had already walked out quickly, waved his hand without looking back, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

In the middle of the night, other people's voices came from the alley: "Black fox, look, people are just teasing you, how can they come back and give you money~"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter in the alley, obviously there were many people in the alley, and they all heard the conversation between Lu Kuan and the black fox just now.

Hearing this, the black fox sneered, ignored his peers behind him, shrunk his body into a wide black robe, and waited patiently for the next customer.
