A rough knock on the door made Li Ran subconsciously frown in the antique shop.

He turned his head and the first thing he smelled was the pungent smell of alcohol.

"Are you the owner of this store?"

Immediately afterwards, he saw a woman wearing a hoodie and messy hair staggering in, carrying a wine bottle.

"It's me, that's right."

Li Ran looked up and down at the woman in front of him. She looked thin, but her brows were always furrowed, as if she was irritable.

"Help me see how much this thing is worth."

As she spoke, the woman took out a ring from her pocket and threw it on the table in front of Li Ran. Then she nonchalantly raised the bottle and took a sip, acting like a drunkard.

Li Ran raised his eyebrows and picked up the ring that jumped in front of him. He looked around for clues, then raised his head and glanced at the drunk opposite, and then replied: "A hundred at most."

Clang——

"One hundred, hiccup~"

After letting out a big wine burp, when the woman heard the price given by Li Ran, she immediately put down the wine bottle in her hand with some dissatisfaction. The bottom of the bottle collided with the table and made a loud sound. The woman then stretched out her hand and pulled it across from her.

Li Ran pulled him in front of him and asked with a drunken look on his face: "You guys, did you see that I was drunk, so you wanted to take advantage of me and deliberately lied to me!"

Li Ran turned his head to avoid the pungent smell that hit his face. He moved his body and struggled, but found that the woman's strength was unexpectedly great and he couldn't get rid of it easily. This made him look at him.

Ning Ning, began to face the sudden guest in front of him.

"The quality of this ring is not good, and there are obvious scratches on it. One hundred is already the most reasonable price I can give."

Although he was surprised by the woman's strength, which was different from her thin appearance, Li Ran did not show too much panic, but calmly gave the results of his appraisal.

“If you feel you are not satisfied with the price, you can go and look elsewhere, but I think there won’t be much difference.”

The woman opened her drunken eyes and looked at Li Ran silently. Then she curled her lips with an impatient expression and let go of her hand. She grabbed her messy hair and continued to drink wine:

"F****K, okay, it's a hundred for a hundred, that damn guy actually dared to use this kind of stuff to deceive me, don't let me touch him again!"

After cursing for a while, the woman took the banknote handed over by Li Ran and put it into her pocket.

Then she looked at the layout of the antique store with her drunken eyes. When she walked in before, she just saw the shops on the roadside and didn't think much about it. Now she looked again and realized that this antique

There are actually quite a lot of things in the store.

Although, most of them are fakes.

With the keenness of a private detective, the woman could tell at a glance that most of the items in the store were just so-called fake goods.

Scanning her eyes around the antique store, the woman quickly lost interest. She touched the one hundred dollars she just got in her pocket, which was the only one hundred dollars she had left, and then turned to look at the items in the shop.

Li Ran hesitated for a moment and then said: "Boss, are you interested in cooperating with me?"

"Cooperation?" Li Ran raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him.

"That's right." After taking the last sip of wine from the bottle, the woman threw the bottle away: "My name is Jessica Jones, and I am a private detective stationed in Hell's Kitchen.

My job is to resolve some disputes between men and women, such as whose wife has cheated on her or whose husband has a lover outside..."

Jessica Jones, a private detective, and the extraordinary strength he had just shown on his body, Li Ran finally remembered the identity of the other party when he heard the name reported by the woman.

One of the members of the Future Defenders, a female superhero with a tragic past.

Of course, none of this is important. The most important thing is that for Li Ran, the emergence of Jessica Jones undoubtedly represents a new goal of obtaining legendary status.

Moreover, it is the kind that is delivered to your doorstep.

"...It seems that I talked too much." After nagging for a while, Jessica Jones seemed to realize that she had become a bit too nagging under the influence of alcohol, and she rubbed herself

With a vaguely swollen forehead, he immediately continued: "Actually, my purpose is very simple. If there is another reward like a ring in the future, boss, you can help me change it into banknotes like you did today."

Because of her own experience and personality, Jessica Jones' work as a private detective was not smooth. Occasionally she received a job, but her final reward was often discounted due to excessive performance.

"If you can bring the things, I won't have any problems at all."

Considering Jessica's identity and the legend she could bring to him in the future, Li Ran had no chance of refusing.

"Then it's settled, boss!" After successfully identifying a way to exchange money, Jessica Jones' frown couldn't help but relax a little, and she took the initiative to reach out and shake Li Ran's hand, and then burped again.

I took a plate off the shelf of the antique store, looked back and forth a few times, and said, "This is a good thing, so I took it away as a symbol of the beginning of our happy cooperation."

"This plate is not cheap..."

Seeing Jessica Jones taking things from his store so openly, Li Ran subconsciously opened his mouth to say something, but saw the other person running out the door without looking back.

"...It cost me a full dollar."

Looking at the back of Jessica Jones leaving in a hurry, Li Ran silently said the second half of his words.

As mentioned before, most of the items in Li Ran's antique store, no, it should be said that 99% of them are wholesale goods from Chinatown, which naturally includes the items in the hands of Jessica Jones.

Go to that plate.

…

Withdraw your eyes from Jessica Jones's back.

Although he has recognized the identity of the other party, he knows that in the future he will become a poor version of the Avengers, a member of the Defenders.

But Li Ran didn't have the luxury of expecting to gain legendary status from Jessica Jones as soon as they met.

There are many ways to obtain legendary status, the simplest of which is naturally to fight directly like the previous battle against the Hulk. Although Jessica Jones’s superpowers are good, there is still a big gap compared with the Hulk.

Therefore, if Li Ran makes up his mind, he can obviously gain a lot of legend from her.

However, at first sight, this reckless approach was obviously not in line with Li Ran's plan.

Secondly, he is very satisfied with his current identity as an antique shop owner and does not want to be exposed so soon.

So, shaking his head, Li Ran turned around and picked up the empty wine bottle that Jessica Jones threw in the store and was about to dispose of it.

Just heard a jingle.
