The Fruit of the Pirate's Mission

Chapter 331 The Mysterious Old Man
The exploration plan of East and Chris was not satisfactory, after that plan came to an end.

East mentioned another task, which was the issue of the mysterious liquid test materials he had taken. He and Chris just needed to go out, so there was no need for Dougter to make a special trip, and Dougert acted alone East is also a little worried about some dangers. The water on Virgil Island is very muddy now.

Fortunately, Easter's handy task went smoothly.

The place where he went to refill, as Docter said, was open late, and the lights were still on when he and Chris arrived.They went straight into the shop there. There was only one old man in the shop, and the old man was busy at the counter.

"Hello, old man, we need these materials. I wonder if you have them here?" East came to purchase materials, and he didn't have any other purpose. Naturally, he got straight to the point.

The old man stopped what he was doing, and ended up with the paper that East handed over, which naturally contained the materials that Docter needed.

After saving the paper, the old man checked it out, but East accidentally discovered the abnormality of the other party, and the old man's expression clearly changed for a moment.

"How is it? Old man, if you don't get the materials here, we will go to other places to find them." Although East discovered the other party's abnormality, East did not show it, and he still used the previous The tone asked the old man.

"Haha, of course we have all these materials here, and they are not rare and precious materials, but I am a little curious about the use of these materials. You must know that I have been engaged in this industry for decades. Before that, I never Have you ever met a customer who needs these materials? Uh, sorry, as a store owner, I shouldn't ask these questions." The old man laughed and seemed very kind, and said that he was a little embarrassed at the end and apologized.

But East was still aware of the other party's intentions, and the other party's words were obviously hidden.And the other party also meant to observe his side's reaction, and the other party's attention to his side's reaction was the most obvious evidence.

"Haha, there's nothing special about these materials. It's just because we have a lot of uses, so it looks a bit messy." East pressed the verification button and didn't move, and made an excuse indiscriminately.

"Oh, so that's what happened. Guests, wait a moment, and I'll prepare these materials for you." The old man promised and turned around to start preparing.

And when the old man turned around and began to prepare some materials, Chris pulled East, and then looked at Chris's expression, it turned out that Chris had also noticed the abnormality of the other party, and this was to remind East.

East gave Chris a reassuring expression, signaling her to wait and see what happened.

"Hey, the sleep quality of this person becomes very poor when he gets old, otherwise my place may be closed when you come here." The old man who was preparing the materials was not idle, and seemed to be chatting with East .

"Well, I heard that some medicinal materials have the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep. If you drink it in water, it should help insomnia. The various materials here are so comprehensive, do you think there are any medicinal materials?" The other party was testing East, why didn't East want to test the other party, so he also asked the other party questions.

Here is an explanation. The shop provided by Docter can be regarded as an enhanced version of the medicinal material store. It not only has various medicinal materials, but also has reserves of some strange materials.

What?Docter said that those strange materials are also special medicinal materials?No way, although the captain doesn't care much about medicinal materials, he can still distinguish between those things that can be eaten and those things that can't be eaten, right?

"The guest also has some research on medicinal materials?" The old man who prepared the materials did not directly answer East's question.

"There is no research, it's just a doctor friend, and this time I prepared some materials for him." East did not hide it, he came here to buy materials, and many of the materials are medicinal materials. How to hide this?

"Haha, in this way, your friend is very special. Why does he need these materials? From my experience, many of these materials have opposite effects." The old man laughed and prepared the materials. It's not slow, and a lot of materials have been prepared.

"Haha, that's not clear. I don't know much about medicinal materials or medical skills." East also said with a smile.

"Hey, that's a pity. Maybe I'm going to lose sleep tonight. Who made me so curious?" the old man said with a sigh.

"Uh, if this business makes the store lose sleep, we will always feel a little embarrassed here." Facing the old man's words, East was not good at answering, and he answered indiscriminately, so that he would not tell the other party Doug As for Te's intention, even if the other party would guess, he would not continue to disclose relevant information.

"Haha, you don't have to be embarrassed. Opening a shop for business, how can you refuse when you come to the door. Besides, it's also because of my side. Of course, you don't need to be sorry." The old man explained as if he didn't care.

"It's good if you look at it here. We also thank you for having enough materials here. Otherwise, we don't know how many material stores we have to go to, and not all material stores will open at night." Since the old man also accepted Yes, East will be polite.

"Haha, that friend of yours is really strange, why do you need those materials at night?" The old man pretended to ask casually.

"Haha, of course it's not that my friend needs those materials at night, it's just because I was delayed by something before, and I only found time to purchase materials at night."

"So that's the case. That guy is lucky to have a friend like you. Some so-called friends are just talking." The old man said with a sigh.

For the old man's words about friends, East didn't know how to reply for a while, and then said after a pause: "Friends, of course I won't refuse what I can do."

"That's why I said that your doctor is lucky." The old man still sighed.

East also thought of the possible situation of the other party here, such as the other party being betrayed by a friend?

"Uh, the procurement of materials is just a small matter, and I can't say it's lucky or not. Besides, he helped me a lot in normal times. He took care of several injuries. I'm actually very grateful to him." Although East has guessed, he is also a calm person.
