Richard soon arrived at the underground market, walked to the door of the Forbidden Bookstore with ease, and walked inside.
As expected, a pair of furry arms appeared, and a strong black man stood outside the door to stop him.
Looking over, the strong black man shouted to Richard: "Hey, you mysteriously dressed guy, this is not a place you can enter casually. I'm warning you..."
Before the black man could finish speaking, Richard stretched out a hand from under his black robe, showed a silver nameplate in his hand to the black man, and said, "I have this, I should be able to go in, right?" ?”
"Um..." The black man's eyes flashed and he said in a low voice, "So you were recommended by an official guest. According to the regulations, you are indeed qualified to come in. But I want to tell you, there are rules here. You are the first Once, it should be unclear, so just remember it. First... "
Richard interrupted the black man and said quickly in a hoarse voice: "First, you are not allowed to pick up all the books unless you are ready to buy them. Second, if you want to buy books, you must prepare enough money. , because you can’t negotiate the price. Third, leave after buying the book. Fourth, you are not allowed to violate any of the above. These are the rules, right? Am I right? "
"You..." Heizhuang Han was speechless and stared at Richard angrily several times before saying, "Okay, everything you said is right. It seems that you did a lot of homework before coming here."
Richard said nothing and just walked in.
Approaching the bookstore and taking a brief glance at the situation in the bookstore, Richard found that it was no different from the last time he came there. There were no new books. He looked directly at the black man and said, "I want to enter your bookstore."
"Huh?" The strong black man raised his eyebrows, looked at Richard carefully up and down several times, and then flatly refused, "No!"
"Why?" Richard asked.
"Because according to the rules, if you want to enter our bookstore, you must purchase at least one book from our bookstore and become our official customer."
"Is that so?" Richard said, stretching out his hand, pointing at the books on the shelf next to him, and asking aloud, "What's the price of this book?"
"120 low-grade crystal coins."
"I bought it," said Richard. When he turned his hand, he found an extra high-grade crystal coin and two medium-grade crystal coins.
The burly black man was stunned. It had been a long time since he had seen such a straightforward customer as Richard. He didn't even read the contents of the book and wanted to buy it. This was... too much money to spend
With this thought in his mind, the strong black man would not refuse the business that came to his door. He stretched out his hand, quickly accepted Richard's money, and then said to Richard: "Wait here for a moment, I'll get something for you..."
"Take the book off the bookshelf for me, right?" Richard asked the strong black man, then shook his head, "No, I gave this book to your store."
"Um?"
"I have heard of your store's reputation a long time ago, but for some reasons I have never been able to come here. I finally came this time, and I am going to give you a small gift to show my respect - a book is my little gift. , I hope you won’t dislike it.
Therefore, your store can take my money, but the books can still be kept here and sold to other people. As for your store, just give me the status of an official guest so that I can enter your store. "
"Uh... Is that so..." The strong black man looked at Richard with strange eyes, and he was already sure in his heart that Richard really had too much money and nowhere to spend it. In this case, he is happy for Richard to do this.
The next moment, a hand reached into his sleeve, took out a golden nameplate, and handed it to Richard. The strong black man said: "Okay, from now on, you are considered an official guest of our bookstore, and Your previous silver nameplate can also be used to give it to another person, so that he can become your recommended person and gain the qualification to enter our bookstore."
Richard nodded.
"Besides..." the black man continued, "besides... you should have heard of the rules for us to enter the house, right? In addition to becoming official guests, we also need to... "
"You still have to pass the test to prove your strength, right?"
"Well, it seems that you do know a lot. In that case, that's good." The strong black man said, "Are you ready for the test now?"
"What exactly is the test?"
"This depends on the person. We have different testing methods, allowing you to choose freely." The black man explained, "The first one is to defeat me. The second one..."
"I choose the first option." Before the strong black man could finish speaking, Richard made his decision directly.
"Huh?!" The black man's eyes widened. He was obviously angry when he was interrupted again and again by Richard. In addition, Richard's choice seemed to be a bit contemptuous of him. He couldn't help but snorted. , "Why, you think I am weak, so you choose the test method of defeating me without hesitation
Huh, I'm afraid you made the wrong calculation! Although I don't know what you are afraid of by being so mysterious and even refusing to show your face, I am not afraid of you. Let me tell you, I am not an ordinary person. I can blow your head off with one fist! When you choose to defeat me, you choose the most difficult test method! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the strong black man stared and punched hard, but he did not attack Richard, but stopped in front of Richard like a demonstration. As the black man punched out, the air surged and a violent punching wind blew off the hood on Richard's head, revealing Richard's disguised, somewhat weathered face.
Facing the strong black man's fist, Richard blinked his eyes without much fear on his expression. He looked at the strong black man and asked hoarsely: "Does your attack mean that the test has begun?"
"If you want, you can start. I will let you take the first shot. As long as you can defeat me, you will be qualified to enter our bookstore." The black man said, "However, I think this possibility is very high. Low. For a person like you who deliberately pretends to be mysterious, the most likely outcome is that you will be beaten until you are looking for teeth and kneeling down to beg for mercy."
As he spoke, a powerful aura slowly released from the strong black man's body.
Richard felt it and could clearly tell that it was not a fluctuation of mana, but the unique aura of the bloodline seeds. Just like the Tuotie he met in the gladiatorial arena of the Kingdom of Pu Egypt and Kailuo City - a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but the black man was stronger than Tuotie.
In this case, what the strong black man said was really not arrogance, but confidence. Normally, with the strength of the strong black man, it is really difficult to defeat the opponent just by relying on physical strength.
In this case…
The energy elements in the source of energy in Richard's body quickly surged out and circulated...
The spell began to be prepared. Richard planned to use the spell to take down the strong black man in one encounter. Using spells and not using spells are two different concepts. Since he is disguising his identity, he has nothing to fear. He can attack with all his strength and reduce unnecessary trouble. .
With this thought in mind, Richard had already prepared the spell and was about to attack when suddenly his eyes flashed and a black shadow stood between him and the strong black man.
The black shadow said: "Stop!"
Um? !
