Global Apocalypse: Awakening the Soul-Swallowing Talent at the Beginning.

"I'm already here."

There was a creaking sound on the wooden stairs.

An old man in brocade robe walked down the stairs.

The movements were slow yet fast, and a smile appeared in the tiger's eyes.

At first glance, it doesn't look like a human being's happiness, but rather like a tiger's happy face.

He took two steps at a time and walked to Lu Li, looking him up and down, with a polite tone:

"Merchant Zhu Houcai, nice to meet you, my distinguished guest."

"I don't know how my inn could have failed to provide such a good service to the distinguished guest."

Lu Li looked at the old man in front of him, and a trace of barely perceptible fear flashed across his pupils.

How come the owner of the branch of Outer City Fenghuo Yeguan is this smiling tiger? !

Shouldn't he be the head shop owner in Storm Star Region?

How could it appear in the Neptune region?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Li felt that it might be a matter of time.

After all, when he first met Zhu Houcai in his previous life, two and a half years had passed since the Earth's full recovery.

At that time, he tried to escape from the control of the Lu family, crossed tens of millions of light years, and accidentally came to the Storm Star Region.

I originally planned to purchase a few teleportation jade tokens from Fenghuo Yeguan and continue my exile journey.

However, his identity was discovered by Zhu Houcai and exposed to the Lu family.

Later, he fell into despair and died, which was partly due to this person.

The rage of hatred smoldered in his chest.

Lu Li raised his halberd and pointed it at the clerk not far away, expressionless:

"I just asked him what the store's signature items were and how much they cost."

"But he thought I was having fun and asked me not to waste his time."

"You guys at Fenghuoyeguan opened your shop for business, is this how you treat your customers?"

“So that’s how it is.” Zhu Houcai’s smile faded and his expression suddenly became terrifying.

He turned to look at the clerk and asked calmly:

"Are what this distinguished guest said true?"

The clerk's eyes were filled with fear, and beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

He kept retreating, stammering:

"No, that's not the store manager. He looks like a newbie with little money. It would be a waste of time to introduce our signature products to him..."

"A waste of words?" Zhu Houcai murmured again:

"Then you really treasure your tongue and saliva..."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the clerk to argue, two slender ghost figures suddenly jumped out from behind Zhu Houcai!

One of them clasped his hands together and suddenly grabbed the clerk's neck.

Meanwhile, the other ghost took advantage of the clerk's reflexive sticking out of his tongue, and with his five fingers like hooks, he grabbed the red meat and pulled it out!

In an instant, blood gushed out!

Zhu Houcai took the half tongue handed to him by the ghost, turned to Lu Li, and smiled again on his scary face:

"My clerk was not a good host, so I pulled out his tongue as a punishment."

"Dear guest, are you satisfied with this way of handling the matter?"

Lu Li frowned slightly as he looked at the clerk who was struggling and twisting on the ground, wailing.

Chang Wei and You Wei both swallowed their saliva and pressed their backs against the wall.

Although I have heard that the top executives of Fenghuoyeguan are all cruel and ruthless.

But now that I see him, I still feel that I had imagined him to be too friendly.

Pulling out the shop assistant's tongue just because he neglected a customer?!

The level of cruelty is comparable to that of Khorne!

You have to know that no matter how useless this clerk is, he is still a player with platinum-grade talent and ability!

Just making a small mistake resulted in such punishment.

Then Lu Li smashed the display cabinet in the store without any explanation, didn't he...

Chang Wei and You Wei both looked at the young man with a slightly thin figure.

I saw the other party nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his indifferent and expressionless face?

"Just give it a try."

Barely?

Chang Wei and You Wei were almost dumbfounded.

Can't this brother feel the murderous intent in the air that is about to solidify into substance?

Or is he simply so stupid that he doesn't understand what he is about to face?

"It's just that he has lost his tongue now, so he can't introduce me."

"How about you come and tell me what are the signature items in your store and how much are they sold for?"

Lu Li shifted his gaze away from the unconscious clerk and scanned the display cabinets again.

During the whole process, he didn't even look at Zhu Houcai.

It was as if the tongue-pulling scene had never happened.

Zhu Houcai in front of him was just an ordinary clerk who came to take over the job.

"Okay!" Zhu Houcai suddenly raised his voice and threw the bloody tongue in his hand casually.

Under the incredulous gazes of Chang Wei and You Wei, the cruel branch owner actually began to introduce to Lu Li in detail the features and prices of various teleportation jade tokens.

What shocked them even more was that

Lu Li actually bought it!

have to say,

This 'bumpkin' from a remote place is really fucking rich!

Not only did he buy dozens of sets of teleportation jade tokens that could be used to move freely in various star regions,

He also purchased twenty large teleportation orders that could be used to build an inter-star teleportation array on the spot!

Lu Li even bought more than ten magic cards that allow him to directly reach the magic eyes in the deep space!

At this moment, Chang Wei and You Wei's minds went blank.

There is only one word left to describe Lu Li——

Spend money like water!

Could it be that this kid’s hometown is really a mining planet rich in gold mines?

After this trip, I basically bought everything in the store!

Compared with Lu Li's huge purchasing volume, the compensation for the damaged display cabinet is basically not enough.

Under normal circumstances, Chang Wei and Youwei had never seen such a scene.

Only the Chen family's annual large-scale purchases can barely be compared with it.

The smile on Zhu Houcai's face became more sincere because of Lu Li's shopping spree.

Throughout the process, the introduction became more and more detailed.

When passing by the unconscious clerk, he would deliberately kick him twice as if to vent his anger for Lu Li.

All in all, everything is very harmonious.

Until it's time to pay.

"My dear guest, what do you mean by this?"

When Zhu Houcai saw Lu Li take out a small brick-like thing from the space ring, his eyes suddenly turned gloomy.

"Of course it's to pay the bill." Lu Li raised his eyebrows, as if it was a matter of course:

"Why, a store as big as yours, Fenghuoyeguan, can't use perfect quality props as payment?"

Zhu Houcai's eyes became darker, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied:

"Of course it's possible."

"But the quantity of goods you purchased is huge. One perfect quality item is far from enough."

"And for special teleportation items like the [Magic Card of the Path] and the [Star Domain Great Shift Order], according to the rules of our store, we usually want customers to pay with fine gold."

"No problem!" Lu Li looked natural, without any panic.

Instead, he showed a smug expression of "I knew you would say that":

"Then use the item to settle the Teleportation Jade Card, and use refined gold to settle the [Magic Card of the Path] and [Star Domain Great Shift Order]."

"But you also know that wealth should not be shown off."

"I was traveling alone, and I didn't have that much gold on me."

"So, I plan to use this perfect quality item, [Stamina Power Bank], as collateral with you first."

"When I finish the work at hand, I will go back and get the payment for you, and settle it all at once!"

"What do you think?"
