"I guess that's it."
William had a look of understanding. "It's a pity. That's Franks we're talking about. He's a high-ranking member of the Teutonic Crusades. I think they must value you a lot if they're willing to send him. The conditions they're offering you are pretty good. If I had such treatment, I would definitely agree. "
Hearing this, Li Mochen couldn't help but look at his good friend with a strange expression, "This is a gang, do you want to join them? Do you want to sell drugs, collect protection fees, force girls into prostitution, and become like those guys lying on the ground? "
In the Original Sky Realm, there were also things similar to heroin and crystal meth, which made Li Mochen feel extremely disgusted.
"But there are even more people who have made a fortune."
William shrugged. "If I can be like you and get an invitation from the Storm Angel or the Hell Skeleton, why not? Not every gang knows how to sell drugs. For example, the 'Storm Angel' only relies on running various entertainment venues to earn money and protect the entire street. The Teutonic Crusades are similar. They're more of a smuggling business. Ammo, you should know that for people like me who come from downtown, if I don't get enough recommendation letters, it'll be hard for me to get into a good university. Even if we're lucky enough to be accepted by those famous universities, it's unlikely that we'll get a scholarship. I don't want to be like my father and be a mechanic in a repair shop or do odd jobs in a restaurant. I work like a dog every day and don't earn much. In short, if I can't make a name for myself in integrated cold weapon combat and get an offer from one of the top 50 universities, then I'll most likely join a gang. "
Li Mochen was speechless. He knew that this was a common situation in America.
"Sometimes I really envy you. Not only do you have good grades in all subjects, you're also a 16-year-old level 3 magical warrior. There aren't many people like you in the whole school. I'm guessing that you'll definitely be able to enter Ivy League in the future. There's really no need for you to join a gang. "
William's expression was envious. "Oh right, you still have that house. If you sell it, it'll be a huge sum of money. "
The house that Li Mochen lived in before was taken back by the bank. But Li Mo's parents had bought it many years ago, and the loan must have been more than half paid off. After the auction, the surplus of the loan would still be returned to Li Mochen.
"There's no need to think about that. The court has already rejected the auction for the second time. They've lowered the starting price again."
Li Mochen shook his head. "Even if I successfully sell it, the small company that my parents run still has a large debt to pay. Besides, don't forget, I have a sister. "
"How could this be?" William's face was filled with disappointment.
Li Mochen was too lazy to talk to him. He suddenly quickened his pace and walked into a grocery store on the side.
…
Li Mochen was preparing food, fruits, and other necessities for the next few days.
Not only was there no food in the fridge where he lived now, but there was also not much toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrush, and soap left.
This feeling of returning to life was very novel to him. In the past, in the Original Dome Realm, he could go for a year or two without eating, relying only on absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirit to maintain his body's needs. This was what the Immortals called "eating Qi." His body was also clean and natural. Even if he was contaminated, he could use the Samadhi True Fire to burn it. But after borrowing a body to be reborn, he couldn't help but worry about his internal organs.
The grocery store that Li Mochen entered was about 50 products in size. There were shelves on both sides of the store, separated by a circle of counters.
Although the goods inside looked dazzling, they were actually limited in variety. Apart from some daily necessities, Li Mochen only bought some snacks such as biscuits and potato chips.
Then, they walked to a bakery about 50 meters away and bought bread, cheese, and butter.
After that, they went to a fruit store and a fresh food store. Fresh fruits and vegetables were also indispensable.
By the time they finished buying everything, half an hour had passed. Not only did Li Mochen carry a pile of things, but William, who was beside him, also helped him carry a lot.
The latter sighed. "It's really not easy to live alone."
He yearned to be independent from his family and have his own place to live. But looking at Li Mochen's appearance, he felt that it was very cumbersome.
Li Mochen looked helpless. "William, are there really no grocery stores or bakeries in our neighborhood? Do we have to come all the way here to buy them? "
"How is that possible? If there were, wouldn't you have seen them long ago? "
William shrugged. But then he remembered that Li Mochen had only been in their neighborhood for less than four months. Usually, he was either going to school or working. So he explained, "Just think about it. Who would open a store there? They would be robbed by the homeless who were so poor that they would go crazy. A magical weapon or a pistol could be easily obtained. "Even if you had a gun to defend yourself, you would be bankrupted by the gangs in the community. "Only Blood Fang and the Dark Hell Skeleton could do that. But how could they have the time to do that? Even if they opened a store like that, it could be destroyed by their enemies at any time. "There are some people who do retail businesses in the community, but they only sell to acquaintances. "Ammo, is there one in the neighborhood where you used to live?"
He knew that the Carril Street where Li Jian used to live was a real neighborhood for the rich. There were many police officers there, and many dignitaries lived there. There were even two former senators, so it was very safe. No gangs dared to cause trouble there.
"There really is —"
Li Mochen focused on searching through the memories of the original body. "But it's still inconvenient. The grocery store there is on the street, and the fruit store is at the end of the street. It's better to buy everything in one go at the market. "It would be good if I could buy all the things I need to buy at the same time."
When he said this, he suddenly thought of something and fell into deep thought.
Back in the Origin Sky Realm, Li Mochen was not most proud of his achievements in cultivation. Instead, he was most proud of his talent in doing business and his keen sense of smell.
Ever since he had taken over the Divine Firmament Sect, the sect's annual income had increased by three times.
Because of this, many cultivators in the Original Sky Realm had mocked him as an "Immortal King who only cares about money". But the number of disciples in the Divine Firmament Sect had increased by 50% in the past few years. Every core disciple would carry a large bag of talismans and elixirs when they went out. There was no need to worry about the lack of resources. As a result, the Divine Firmament Sect's casualties in the past 40 years had been greatly reduced, and they had accumulated enough resources to deal with the Demonic Calamity.
William looked puzzled. "Buy all the things I need to buy at the same time? Isn't that like the market street? There's no need for that, right? "
"But what if I don't buy them at the same street, but at the same store? You can buy everything in one store, and the location is good. It's just near our street. Will you go there, William? "
Li Mochen smiled. "Super Market! Super Market! "
