Chapter 309
This gambling den is crowded and noisy; it's not a good place to talk.
Lu Li exchanged a meaningful glance with the guy who called himself "57" without showing any emotion.
Then, he quietly sent a message in the "Meet at the Summit" group chat.
Lu Li: [57? @Jiang Yi]
Someone quickly replied below—
Yuan Bin: [Hey? It's not 8:30 yet? Lu Shen and Jiang Shen have already started dating? [Envious].jpg]
Dong Cang: [I heard the Black Market Festival is quite lively, with all sorts of activities. If I didn't lack a pass, I'd love to go and see what it's like. [weak, pitiful, and helpless].jpg]
Zhao Xihou: [Two world-class giants have joined forces. We weaklings are doomed! o(╥﹏╥)o [self-hugging and crying].jpg]
Shirong: [Xi Niangniang, don't cry, your tough guy persona is ruined!]
Zhao Xihou: [...]
[Wait a minute! When did this weakling ever try to portray himself as a tough guy?? Slander! Pure slander!]
[I'm such a whiny person, waaaaah~~~]
【…】
However, among the scattered group chat messages, Jiang Yi's reply was the only one that Lu Li had specifically tagged!
Lu Li's gaze at "Five-Seven" became increasingly meaningful.
Jiang Yi vaguely guessed that Lu Li must have checked with the group.
But the problem is...
He's now wearing two layers of skin!
The first layer is the "Muki" identity fabricated by the "Muki Face".
One layer is the identity card used to forge the identity of "Zhang San".
In front of so many people, it wouldn't be appropriate to switch back to Jiang Yi to reply to the message.
He originally thought that since both sides had already exchanged "secret signals," there was little chance of mistaking one another for the other.
But he didn't expect...
In this black market, another "Jiang Yi" might suddenly appear out of nowhere!
Looking at Lu Li Lao through the ghost mask, his eyes grew increasingly suspicious and wary.
Jiang Yi felt that his innocent gaze must be filled with—
No, boss, let me explain!
After hesitating for a long time, he finally found an excuse and explained in a low voice:
"This matter is a bit complicated..."
"You should be able to tell that I'm wearing a disguise, boss."
"Let's use this disguise. It makes it temporarily inconvenient for me to reply to messages in our group..."
As soon as these words came out.
Lu Li's suspicions lessened slightly.
After all, this "57" knew that they had a group chat, not just private chats between friends.
but……
Nothing is absolute.
Because of the existence of another "Jiang Yi".
Lu Li remained skeptical of this "57" in front of him.
Jiang Yi knew this too.
Humans are a special case, and they do need to be more cautious when they go out.
This is a good thing.
He didn't argue further, and lowered his voice again:
“I know you may still have doubts about my identity, which is understandable…”
"But boss, you wouldn't be stupid enough to meet up with someone who doesn't match the code again, would you?"
He was worried that Lu Li would go to District 1 to meet up with that "Jiang Yi".
That would be a very serious matter!
After all, Jiang Yi didn't know what kind of thing this "Jiang Yi" who was using his name was.
However, Lu Li himself is not stupid.
He looked deeply at Jiang Yi through the dark eyes of the ghost mask.
Then he nodded slowly: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Just then, the long line of people betting on pills finally reached Lu Lijiang and his group.
Their teams are divided into groups of five.
The group of five people in front entered the area where they were buying pills.
The group of five behind them were greeted in advance by the receptionist, who explained some of the rules of the gambling activity.
The gambling activity is actually very simple.
These are longevity pills of different grades. Generally speaking, the amplification effect is between 1 and 9 units.
Of course, the "unit" here can be years, decades, centuries, millennia, ten thousand years, etc., depending on the grade of the Longevity Pill.
Ordinary customers typically spend 5 units when purchasing the Longevity Pill, and they bear the profit or loss themselves.
But today's Black Market Grand Sale offers a 40% discount, requiring only 3 units, making it even more likely for buyers to profit.
"In addition, if you take the pill on the spot in the store, you may also have a chance to receive rewards based on the amount of lifespan you gain—"
