Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 5 Greedy Pixis

The leader, Quinn, and several high-level officials made inquiries to no avail. After leaving, a doctor in a white coat walked in with no expression on his face.

With a goatee and a complexion like bacon, he looked very gloomy.

Ren recognized this guy.

This vulture old man is the chief doctor of the Weasel Phantom Thieves, Qizi Pixis.

Although this guy is only a second-order awakened advanced person, his combat effectiveness is very average. But in the Phantom Thieves, his status is very high, even the leader Quinn is very polite when he sees him.

Because, he also has a very noble status, a two-star potion master certified by the potion masters union!

Almost all the extraordinary advanced potions of the entire Phantom Thieves came from him

Of course, there is also the chronic poison [zombie potion] that controls newcomers, which is his unique formula.

If Ren wanted to get the antidote, he had to make an idea from this old thing.

Pixis walked into the medical room, his eyes fell on Ren, and he said lightly, You're awake.

Ren quickly got up, made a respectful gesture as a newcomer, bowed and thanked: Thank you, Mr. Pixis, and only you can bring me back from the brink of hell.

Ah

Pixis snorted noncommittally, and a gleam suddenly flashed across those muddy eyes, looking as aggressive as a poisonous snake.

He stared at Ren, and then said meaningfully: There is no one else here now, can you tell me what happened in the sewer at that time?

It was a very common question, but the tone sounded eerie, giving one a creepy feeling.

It seems that if you tell a lie, you will be swallowed by a poisonous snake.

ah?

Renn was surprised, but he shouted in his heart: Sure enough, it's here.

There was an unnatural look on his face, and he said, I told the leaders just now that I was in a coma and don't remember anything.

Oh? Yeah.

Pixis sneered, with a weird smile on his face that this little trick of yours can't fool me.

After a pause, there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he said: They sent you here before, and I took a sample of your blood. But the strange thing is that besides analyzing the unknown deadly toxin, there is also an antidote. If I You guessed it right, you survived because of the timely injection of the interpretation potion.

Hearing this, Ren's expression was startled.

In the eyes of others, this is a pretense of calmness.

Pixis keenly caught the strange expression on Ren's face, his eyes lit up, and he felt that he had guessed right.

Immediately, he asked in a threatening and gloomy tone: Then, can you explain, who injected you with that interpretation potion?

Ah this.

Responding to this sudden question, Ren's eyes trembled for a moment, showing the panic of a normal person after his secret was discovered.

But before he fell into a coma, he had already expected that he had left a weakness that could not be eliminated.

After the antidote is injected, it will remain in the body for several days.

This weakness can be hidden from others, but it can't be hidden from this Pixis who is proficient in pharmacy!

Quinn's high-level inquiries did not mention this situation, which means that Pixis did not report this information to them.

The purpose is also obvious. This greedy old guy really wants to monopolize Baron Morin's treasure!

But this is also exactly what I want.

Because, this is also the situation that Rennes most wants to see!

When the leader Quinn asked the question before, he found that those guys didn't mention the antidote. Ren guessed that he was right.

This guy who the old people in the regiment privately called arrogant Pixis really made a greedy choice.

Of course, whoever knows how much wealth Baron Morin has left behind would probably want to take it all for himself!

And Lei Meng also knew very well that although this guy was enshrined by the Phantom Thieves, he, the noble Potion Master, never looked down on these dirty thieves and disdained to be with them.

As long as Pixis has selfish intentions, Ren can use chips in exchange for more benefits, antidote... and freedom!

Of course, even if Pugh had no selfish intentions and told the leader about the situation, Renn had already figured out how to deal with it.

Now, Rennes has complete control over the matter.

After all, no one would think that those disappearing things are hiding in him at this moment.

However, he also knew very well that if he dealt with an old and cunning guy like Pixis, if he handed over his bargaining chip, his value would be lost!

Since this old bastard intends to monopolize the treasure, but after getting what he wants, how can he keep his mouth alive?

that.

After pretending to struggle for a while, Ren seemed to have figured something out, and no longer concealed it, he asked directly, Mr. Pixis, what can you give me if I tell you?

Oh, you're not going to argue?

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Pixis' eyes.

This kid really knows about those lost treasures!

What kind of treasure would make such a big thief like Quinn so nervous?

The old guy was overjoyed, but his face was extremely gloomy, and he said coldly: Hehe. You should know the rules in the regiment. If Quinn finds out that you concealed the truth, nine lives are not enough to kill you.

snort!

Hearing this, Ren also had a broken expression, and said with a stern look: I can't awaken the extraordinary, and there is no antidote. Anyway, if I die in training or in a mission, what's the difference?

The life of a thief who licks blood at the edge of a knife can live for a few years.

The chances of a newcomer with a crane tail surviving are really slim.

It's perfectly normal to have this reaction.

Little ghost, you are a little clever.

Hearing this, Pixis was not surprised, but a look of expectation flashed in his eyes.

Greed is human nature.

Of course, originally he didn't intend to use Quinn's ability to bluff this newcomer who he thought was a little smart.

He didn't talk too much, and asked directly: So, what do you want from me?

Ren said directly: I want the antidote for [Zombie Potion]!

That's it?

Hearing this, Pixis raised his eyebrows, as expected.

But after a short pause, he listened to Ren and said again: Also... I hope Mr. Pixis will accept me as an official disciple!

Yo?

When Pixis heard this, an imperceptible gleam flashed across his eyes, and he said with a half-smile, You're smart.

Under normal circumstances, this is the choice to maximize profits.

Becoming his disciple of Pixis, he suddenly became a doctor or an apprentice potion master. Then Li's status in the Phantom Thieves will rise in a straight line, and he will no longer have to participate in death training and dangerous tasks, and his life safety will naturally be guaranteed.

After all, in this cruel world, no matter whether it is a potion master or a doctor, the status is extremely high.

It is not easy for a boy of fifteen or sixteen to have such a scheming mind.

Moreover, only by becoming his own disciple and handing over the secret, maybe he would not have to die.

If it's normal, with such a clever handyman apprentice, it's not impossible to control it with some means.

But now this Weasel Phantom Thieves is about to be destroyed

He has no intention of accepting any disciples.

Anyway, it was a blank check, and Pixis, who had been murderous for a long time, naturally agreed: Yes! I can give you the antidote, and I will also tell Quinn that I will accept you as my disciple.

Hearing this, Ren pretended to be flattered and said, Mr. Pixis, have you really agreed to accept me as a disciple?

Um.

Having said that, the old guy looked at Ren with a kind face, and asked, So... now you can tell me what happened in the sewer of Molin Manor?

Hearing this, Ren also smiled knowingly, and started his own performance: I was in the sewer at that time.
