The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1252

(Unedited)

…

Getting some money to spend is the first thing that he needed to do so that he could learn more about the new place that he is in. What he has is just a vague idea of this place from Shen Wand Song. The first thing he needed to do after getting some money is to find a place to search for information.

He began to follow the two men in secret, but because his clothes are very noticeable, people still would look at him with weird gazes.

Some even began to distance themselves from him.

"Hey, is he an awakened Shen?"

"Oh, no we have to run away from that guy or we will get into trouble."

"He should be walking in the street wearing his armor, right?"

"The authorities should stop him from walking around just like that…"

The voices of the people who saw him made Xin Ja feel helpless. He wanted to change his clothes but this is the only style he has inside his ring and even in his black orb. If he takes out those other clothes then he would surely stand out more.

But he decided to not mind the people and instead follow the rest until he was able to arrive in an alley where there is a line of people standing.

He looks at the place and curiously stands in line.

"Ey… Are you going to the wilderness to hunt? I guess you lack the cash after buying that fancy armor, right?" a person standing behind Xin Ja asked.

Xin Ja nodded his head.

"Yeah, I… I… was not able to buy a… a weapon." Xin Ja staggered a bit but was able to form an idea in his mind.

"By the way, how much is that kind of robe? And what are its effects…" the man asked.

The others also craned their neck to listen. Xin Ja suddenly felt awkward. Although it has been a long time since he feels such a feeling, it is still uncomfortable.

Suddenly, an idea dawned on him.

"Well, how much do you think this cost?" Xin Ja asked trying to pique their curiosity.

"Hmm… I guess around 2,000 Sumar?" the man tried to guess.

He looks uncertain as he frowned while looking at Xin Ja's robe.

"Well, it looks old and a bit worn-out, so I'm guessing 2,000…" he added.

Xin Ja did not say anything and just smiled which made the man frown deeply.

Soon, the line moved and Xin Ja could already hear the discussion between the one pawning his item and the pawnshop personnel.

From that alone, he could already tell that 2,000 Sumar is actually already a big amount. It is like 2,000 Jimal gold.

As he drew near, he secretly picks one of the pieces of jewelry from his ring. The jewelry looks ordinary but it is imbued with Ki. It was one of his practice jewelry when engraving micro rune arrays.

So the function of the jewelry can cause the wound of the person wearing it to heal faster 3 times faster. It is not that much and he considered it as a prototype of its kind before, so he is sure that it would not cause any trouble.

Soon it was already his turn. Xin Ja takes out the necklace and then puts it on the small tray. He just followed what those people were doing.

When the man saw the necklace, he showed nonchalance on his face. However, after he scanned it with blue light, his expression suddenly changes.

"This… this necklace… Where did you get it?" the man suddenly asked in agitation.

"It… it was my… my father's…" Xin Ja created an excuse.

Well, the necklace was bought by his father and was given to him for his practice, so literally, he did not lie.

"Are you… are you sure that you are selling this?" the man confirmed.

Xin Ja now noticed the agitation in the man's reaction. He knew that the necklace hold some value to the guy. With this in mind, he could already tell that this guy would surely do something.

And true to his conjecture the guy really did… something.

He stood up and then called Xin Ja to enter the pawnshop.

Then he politely gestured for him to enter a small office room.

This made the people in the line feel confused.

"How may I address you, young man?" a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and tie asked.

Xin Ja looks at the guy with curiosity. The man looks stylish, but he also looks uncomfortable in such clothing. He has already used to wearing robes which are more comfortable, so seeing a suit made him frown a bit.

"I am just someone who wanted to sell his ware…" Xin Ja replied with a polite smile.

"Oh, I see… Well, your ware… it is quite… unique…" he showed a mysterious smile.

"I know… but I have never discovered how important it is… so…" Xin Ja did not even flinch when he lied.

"Hmm… Alright… Are you pawning it or selling it? If you sell it, I will offer you 100,000 Sumar for the necklace… but if not, then I can only give you around 40 thousand." He offered.

Xin Ja thought for a bit, but in truth, he has already agreed with the price.

"I… I will… I will sell it…" Xin Ja showed an excited expression.

When the man saw Xin Ja's expression, a pleased smile appear on his face.

"Alright… get your money on the counter. And you should leave through the backdoor…" the man suggested.

After getting his money, Xin Ja directly walked out of the alley and then arrive on the main street. He could see many people walking and many are still looking at him weirdly.

But he did not mind such gazes. His goal is to get to a place to change his clothing so that he could blend with the people. It would still take long before the bar in his Unique Vision reach 100%, so he would just stroll around the city after changing his clothes.

He began to walk and soon found a small store. As he enters he saw the woman behind the counter looking at him weirdly.

"Umm… I need to buy some clothes… Can you recommend something for me?" Xin Ja asked.

He already has money inside his ring, so he is not afraid to spend it.

The woman's eyes look a bit hesitant, but he quickly picks a pair of dark blue jeans and a blue and white shirt, and then a pair of brown sneakers.

She did not know why but she thought that the young man would look handsome in those clothes.

Xin Ja was led inside the dressing room of the shop, and he quickly changes his clothing.

After he walked out of the dressing room, the eyes of the woman behind the counter glowed.

"Wow!… You… You look really handsome!…" she exclaimed.

She could not help but admire the handsome young man before her.

Xin Ja, quickly paid for his clothes and the woman just showed a love-struck expression even after he walks out.

As Xin Ja walks out of the shop, he breathed in and felt a bit excited to explore the new place where he just found himself.

Now that he could blend with the crowd, he wanted to explore to his heart's content before the portal number is completed.

And so he began walking down the walkway and looking at the cars passing by. He just could not help but scoff a bit as the cars are too noisy and slow. Plus, they are not that efficient and produce black smoke.

"I guess this world is just like Earth… because of the suppression of the Shen's power, the people adapted and lived like mortals…" he muttered.

Xin Ja found himself walking in a large building with large letters on display.

"Ae City mall…" he muttered after reading the words.

He is just glad that the same language is used in this place, just like in the kingdom of Jimal.

As he was about to walk toward the building, he suddenly noticed a strong Ki aura disturbance in the area.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback as his eyes quickly darted all over the place.

Then he saw the Ki energy gathering in a vacant space where many of the cars are parked.

The people in that area are already panicking and many are already running for their lives.

He then saw the Ki energy gathering in one place, and then the very fabric of space was slowly torn apart.

"What is happening in here? This… is… this is not supposed to be, right?" Xin Ja muttered as a deep frown appears on his face.

He has his doubts and his suspicion, but unless he sees them with his eyes, he could not draw a conclusion.

A dark void suddenly appears before his eyes. This was followed by several small hands coming out of the void. The hands look dark green with patches of red. And the tips of their fingers are sharp claws.

As the being from the void emerges from inside, he could almost immediately tell what those things are.

As he studied the record of Shin Jiao in his Unique Vision, he has learned of such creatures.

They are called… demons.
