I seem to be an evil god

"Not for sale."

The middle-aged store manager was not interested in Liu Dao's proposal. He sat in the dark with his eyes closed, seemingly immersed in his own meditation.

"Don't refuse in a hurry."

Liu Dao smiled and leaned against the counter, listening to the breathing rate of the middle-aged store manager.

"Store manager, I see you also practice breathing techniques, right? I have a fragment of a master-level breathing technique in my hand, what do you think? Are you interested in exchanging it?"

What Liu Dao mentioned was his current main practice: "Deep Rainbow Breathing".

This skill came from the Lion City, but the process of Liu Dao obtaining it can be said to be a fluke. It is still a mystery as to how this skill appeared in the cavalry deputy captain who was just a professional.

Although Liu Dao majored in "Deep Rainbow Breathing", in fact, because of the Art of Returning All Transformations to One, Liu Dao did not need to practice inner breath step by step to increase energy.

Therefore, Liu Dao only knows less than 1/3 of the main content of this book.

Therefore, the only thing that can be exchanged with the store manager is a fragment of the master's technique.

According to the value ratio between the two parties, Liu Dao thought that the price he had given was already very high. However, what he did not expect was that the answer given by the middle-aged store manager was still rejection.

"Decide what you want, and tell me when you've decided."

Regarding Liu Dao's bargaining, the store manager with his eyes closed only gave this answer.

Liu Dao was rejected, and then thought of another valuable item on his body.

"Store manager, I wonder if you are interested in your bloodline power?"

This time, in response to Liu Dao's harassment, the middle-aged store manager responded more simply. He closed his eyes and said nothing, pretending that Liu Dao was not in front of him.

Liu Dao smiled awkwardly, and then sighed softly.

As the saying goes, the end justifies the means. Since the middle-aged store manager refuses to take hard and soft measures, he also needs to make some other preparations.

Although the attempt may be in vain in the end, Liu Dao can at least tell himself that he has done everything he can.

Looking back at the counter, Liu Dao randomly picked the cheapest wildebeest. The store manager stretched out his hand to hold the model that Liu Dao brought over. He traced the outline with his left hand and finally tapped it lightly on the model.

"Take it away. Inject enough inner energy when using it. It needs to be recharged every 8 hours of use. It can be used for up to half a month."

Liu Dao took the model. Compared with the one he just took out from the counter, the changes were not obvious.

If I have to make a comparison, I can only say that there is a slight difference in feel.

Liu Dao put the model in place. From the store manager's technique just now, he could basically determine that it was a summoning technique that changed the method.

Liu Dao didn't know the specific limitations of the technique, but judging from the long-term retention and miniaturization, this technique was enough to make him excited.

"Store manager, please continue."

Liu Dao took out another wildebeest, and the middle-aged store manager opened a gap in his closed eyes, glanced at Liu Dao coldly, and continued to repeat the action just now.

Liu Dao secretly kept the store manager's technique in mind, but because the internal energy flow occurs more inside the human body, and the place where the internal energy circulates is also the meridians of the human body that cannot be observed with normal vision.

Although Liu Dao looked at many specious gestures, the final result was still nothing.

Putting away the second wildebeest, Liu Dao repeated the action five more times. At first, the middle-aged store manager would give him a cold look, but in the end, he had no unnecessary expression at all.

Liu Dao observed the technique 7 times and gained some insights. However, compared to the method of delayed preservation, Liu Dao prefers the method of shrinking the summoned object.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to steal a teacher.

Although the wildebeest position on the counter was completely empty, the middle-aged store manager had no intention of adding anything. Liu Dao lingered in the store for a while, but the middle-aged store manager obviously did not intend to demonstrate in front of him.

With a faint sigh, Liu Dao asked with some disappointment: "How much do these seven wildebeests cost?"

"280 gold."

The middle-aged store manager said coldly, Liu Dao weighed his wallet and put 300 gold coins on the counter.

"This is my tuition, don't mind."

After speaking, Liu Dao turned around and left without giving the middle-aged store manager any chance to refute.

Although there was no shouting from behind, Liu Dao had already made up his mind that the 300 gold coins could never be taken back.

As a professional who abides by the rules, buying and selling are the legitimate means.

After walking around the store, Liu Dao silently kept the surrounding situation in mind. It was not the time to take action yet. He still lacked some necessary materials.

After leaving the shop, Liu Dao continued to wander around the black market. This time, his wandering had a purpose, focusing on observing the shops on both sides of the black market.

The reason why Liu Dao wanted to observe the store was mainly to determine the methods of the operators behind this black market and the specific business plan.

Generally speaking, this underground black market operates in two situations.

One is that the land here is completely owned by the black market operators, and the black market is open around the clock, but only traders are allowed to enter and exit most of the time, and only during special periods are all buyers allowed to enter.

The other is that the land where the black market is opened is not owned by the organizer. The black market itself is developed secretly, and it has to change places every time it is held.

In the second case, it is almost impossible for a store to exist, so the black market Liu Dao is currently in should be the first one, and this location is fixed.

There are also two types of the first black market, which is also the focus of Liu Dao's observation.

One is that the black market has been open for a long time and has a guaranteed reputation. The shop owners who cooperate with it will leave the goods in the black market, and even live in the area where the black market is located, and only occasionally leave.

The other is that the land is owned by the owners of the black market, and the shops are only leased to vendors. After the black market ends, the vendors must leave after the customers and are not allowed to live in the black market for a long time.

After Liu Dao's observation, he finally found a temporarily closed shop. Judging from the luggage carried by the merchant when he left, it can be determined that the black market here is the second situation.

Although the second type of black market also provides item storage services, due to various considerations, most vendors will not store their items in a black market that does not allow long-term residence.

In other words, after tonight's transaction ends, the middle-aged store manager must leave here.

Although the way vendors leave is definitely different from the way ordinary customers like Liu Dao enter, this at least gives Liu Dao hope.

Because the local black market operator has a master-level spiritual direction professional, Liu Dao can't let go of his hands in the black market, and it is possible that his five senses are affected unknowingly, which ultimately leads to some consequences that may make him infamous.

It's different after leaving the black market. The middle-aged store manager is at most a high-level summoning professional. For Liu Dao, he is someone who can be rubbed and crushed at will.

After deciding on the main plan of action, Liu Dao stopped in front of a small vendor.

"What to do with these bugs?"
