Undead Mage from a Cell

After killing Li Quanyong, Gu Xi immediately withdrew his hand and turned to look at the Thunderbird’s corpse.

The matter was settled, the enemies marked red were already dead.

Acting again now would be an affront to the Black Market.

The final outcome would likely mirror that of Li Quanyong.

Even if Gu Xi had the confidence to escape unscathed.

It would surely offend the people of Qianfang City.

Gu Xi came to the real world, not just for a brief visit.

He still has to go to Netherworld University to study.

He also plans to tour other cities.

He doesn’t want to just visit Qianfang City once and immediately return to the dreary Ancestor City.

If he offends the Black Market, Gu Xi won’t even be able to buy a train ticket.

He wouldn’t be able to leave Qianfang City at all.

With Gu Xi’s sharp mind, he quickly discerned the consequences.

So he had no intention to mess with the Black Market.

After Li Quanyong was killed, Gu Xi withdrew and stood aside.

Waiting for Li Gu to take the lead.

At this moment, Ma Su also stood up and walked over to Li Quanyong’s corpse to check on Li Quanyong’s condition.

Then he slammed the token in his hand onto Li Quanyong’s face.

That slam effectively sealed the case, deeming it Li Quanyong’s self-destructive actions, unrelated to others.

After handling the matter, Ma Su approached Gu Xi.

"Sorry to have let you witness this."

"Not at all, it’s that guy who disrupted the Black Market’s rules."

Upon hearing this, Ma Su’s mood improved significantly.

At least Gu Xi’s words offered him a face-saving way to recover some dignity.

So Ma Su said to Gu Xi, "Well said, the Black Market won’t let your help go unrewarded. Guest, if there’s anything you desire, just ask, and we will try our best to find it for you.

You want corpses, don’t you?

Come back the day after tomorrow, I’ll have all the corpses delivered then reserved for you."

Ma Su spoke while feigning difficulty.

After all, the corpses at the Black Market had their destinations, many people in Qianfang City were waiting for those good things.

Letting Gu Xi take them all would leave those people in Qianfang City with nothing to eat.

Three days was Ma Su’s utmost limit.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xi shook his head, "Ma, as customer service, I want a few things, I’d like your help to find them."

"Sure, the Black Market has everything, just ask, and I can help find them."

Gu Xi smiled and said, "Well, I have a good plot of land and I want a small architectural design plan for a city gate, not too tall, just the size of a normal door so I can freely come and go."

"That’s a bit tricky, city gates are generally designed larger.

Or they’ll have some unique style.

Such small gates I haven’t heard of.

But I’ll keep this in mind and find it for you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi’s heart stirred.

"Right, since I’m already looking for architectural design plans for city gates, how about looking for some unique designs? Like underground ones.

By the water, or with ventilation ducts.

I hope you can help find them."

"No problem, there are actually plenty of unique city gates, they’ll be easy to find when I have free time.

Guest, about the matter I mentioned earlier."

"Ah, is there anything specific?

I still need to help Brother Li Gu clear a dungeon.

Later I might need to hurry to Netherworld University to enroll.

I really don’t have much time."

Gu Xi thought for a moment and suddenly recalled Ma Su’s previous request.

He immediately stated his thoughts.

To be honest, Gu Xi didn’t have much time.

While in Qianfang City, they primarily follow the Wind Element route, occasionally strengthened by Thunder Element.

There are quite a few archers here.

Undead Mages are rare here.

Qianfang City is also quite far from where Gu Xi wishes to go, the Netherworld University in Yin City.

Gu Xi will need some time on the road.

He truly didn’t have the time to stay and do some tasks.

Gu Xi thought clearly that this kind of thing entrusted by others is endless.

Moreover, if Ma Su had gained any advantage, he wouldn’t want to let go.

The final situation would still lead to a conflict between Gu Xi and the Black Market.

If so, it’d be better to refuse now.

Instead, Li Gu’s matter is simple, just finish the task and leave.

Li Gu wouldn’t hold Gu Xi back.

His mind turned on this, Gu Xi knew what he wanted and how to communicate with Ma Su.

Ma Su hadn’t thought about the implications, he thought helping Gu Xi with a few tasks was a good thing.

Listening to Gu Xi’s words, Ma Su’s face turned a little unpleasant.

In his perspective, Gu Xi was somewhat ungrateful.

Just then, several men in black robes came in from outside.

These men in black robes wore masks.

Clearly, they, like Ma Su, were Black Market customer service, but from their actions, it was obvious their status was much higher than Ma Su’s.

They first glanced at Ma Su, then had him hand over the token for inspection.

Meanwhile, they also checked Ma Su’s face and the corpse of Li Quanyong on the ground.

The butcher handling the Thunderbird didn’t mind these people, continuing his work.

It was evident that no matter how chaotic the Black Market was, the butcher remained steady.

Finally, one man in black came before Gu Xi.

"Hello, honored guest, I am Level A customer service, Ma Yinglong.

I’ve looked into what just happened.

I’m here to represent the Black Market to express gratitude to you.

If it weren’t for you, our customer service here would’ve been beaten to death."

"It’s nothing, Ma Su works diligently, and that guy was just too violent. If something happened to the Black Market, we wouldn’t escape either."

As Gu Xi finished speaking, the butcher tossed the last feather onto the ground.

"Kid, just talk, don’t involve me, pieces of trash like this are meaningless to me."

Gu Xi turned to see the butcher had cleaned his knife already and was having his two attendants tidy the feather fragments off his body.

Gu Xi took note that the electricity from the Thunderbird feathers left only faint white marks on the butcher.

Gu Xi hadn’t noticed this before, yet now he realized this butcher, even without a Combat Aura, was the strongest presence in the room.

Gu Xi had a feeling, this person might be nearing Level 40, the limit.
