Chapter 3: Black Market Taobao(1/3)
"The other is the black market for the sale of spiritual weapon materials. The materials there are of mixed quality. There are rare treasures that are rare in thousands of years, and there are also fakes that look similar but are not real. It mainly depends on the customer's eyesight. At the same time, the goods traded in the black market
, prices fluctuate greatly, and although some are of high quality and low price, most of them are one or two percent more expensive than those sold by the consortium."
The boy's words made **** a little surprised. At the same time, he was also glad that he had caught the right man. He directly ordered the boy without thinking: "Go to the black market."
For ****, as long as he can choose a suitable material, money is not an issue at all. Anyway, the million-crystal coin card he robbed before and the 2,000 amethyst coins are still placed in his storage card
With.
The nearest black market was less than ten kilometers away from them. At the speed of the boy's skateboard, it only took him a quarter of an hour to get there. This was after the flyboard carried two people, which greatly affected the flight speed. A single flyboard
, carried the two of them, and they attracted the attention of countless people along the way.
The boy kept talking along the way, and his level of nagging was close to that of Park Nanzi. Under the boy's constant nagging, **** knew his name, Conan. Is it possible that there is a person with the word "nan" in his name?
They are all quite verbose, **** thought with some helplessness.
There are three black markets in Guiren District, all of which are similar in scale. Before going there, **** thought that the so-called black markets were either established in the dark underground or in a secluded corner with other businesses.
The plaque was a cover-up, but in fact when he actually arrived at the black market, he was shocked by the building in front of him.
The entire black market is in the shape of a pyramid, covering an area of no less than 50,000 square meters and about 50 meters high. Compared with the surrounding buildings, it looks like a towering giant. At the front of the building, there are two luminous lights the size of a bungalow.
The font is clearly the word "black market". It can be said that it is rare in the world to be so arrogant in the black market.
"Well, it's surprising. It's actually said to be a black market, but in fact the three major black markets in Guiren District are all opened by three of the eight major families in Qinglong Free City. Because they are private properties of the three families, they don't have to pay the daily quota.
Taxes, that’s why it’s called the black market, but in fact the transactions here are completely legal.”
As Conan said that, he parked the flying board in the empty square in front of the black market. When both of them got off the flying board, Conan waved to the flying board. The flying board made a clicking sound and finally turned into
A three-inch long and one-inch wide metal sheet flew into his hand, and Conan casually inserted the metal sheet into the wrist wheel.
**** was slightly stunned when he saw it. The equipment development in Qinglong Free City was stronger than he imagined. There were no guards in front of the black market. There was an inch-long hole in the closed metal door. Conan skillfully
He walked up and dropped ten crystal coins into the hole, and the metal door slid open to the left and right silently.
"Come in quickly, don't be stunned. Every ten crystal coins can only open the door for thirty seconds. If you don't come in, the door will be closed." After Conan stepped into the door, he waved to **** and said.
, looking at his excitement, he showed no sign of being held hostage.
The entire black market is divided into fourteen floors. The higher you go up, the less and more precious the trading materials you have. Anyone below the seventh floor can visit and buy. From the eighth to tenth floors, you must show proof of financial resources. Only those carrying an amount of more than ten
You can only go up to the 11th to 13th floors with 500,000 crystal coins. You need to bring at least 500,000 crystal coins to enter. The last 14th floor, according to the black market regulations, only accepts spiritual weapon masters who have reached the junior level or above.
The first floor of the black market feels like a big supermarket. Rows of shelves are filled with items in different categories. The unit prices of the items are written below for people to choose and trade. Each item is only displayed the same.
There is the serial number of the goods below. If the customer likes the item, he will write down the serial number. When leaving, he will give the quantity he wants to buy and the serial number to the service staff at the door to settle the goods.
Looking at the dense crowd on the first floor, with at least several thousand customers, **** finally couldn't help being surprised and asked: "Are there so many spiritual weapon masters in Liberty City? Why are there so many people buying spiritual weapons?"
Material."
"Brother, I really don't know that you popped up in that corner. Don't you know that the so-called tool-making materials of the spiritual weapon masters are the materials for making weapons in the hands of the weapon masters? Although there are few spiritual weapon masters in the Free City,
, but there are many equipment masters, especially those basic equipment masters and junior equipment masters. Their total number is at least 100,000, and the various primary materials they consume every day are even more huge." Conan rolled his eyes.
, said in a weird accent.
Imagining everything I saw in the noble area, it became clearer. Without such a large base of equipment masters, the development of Qinglong Free City would not have been so rapid. Those basic materials in the storage cards
There are many more. What he needs are those treasures. Under the leadership of Conan, **** stepped on the spiral staircase to the second floor.
The first to third floors of the black market are all in the form of stores. However, as the floors increase, the quality level of the items sold also increases. Above the fourth floor, there are various classified stalls, where some stall owners sell.
The items sold are considered good in the eyes of the equipment master, but they are far from being as good as the ordinary items in the **** storage card. I want to choose one or two exquisite items among thousands of stalls and millions of materials, ***
* He thought he didn’t have the perseverance, so he went straight to the entrance of the eighth floor in one breath.
There were two black market staff standing at the entrance from the seventh floor to the eighth floor. They politely asked **** to show proof of financial resources. **** took out the card he had stolen from the eldest lady of the Phoenix clan from the storage card.
The crystal coin card, with a series of zeros displayed on it, made the two reception staff bend down even lower. In the elite area, financial resources are the proof of identity.
Conan was so surprised that a crystal coin card that **** took out at random contained one million yuan, and his eyes almost popped out of his head. Originally, he wanted to see ****'s joke, but he didn't expect that in his mind
How could such a country bumpkin come up with so much money? You must know that although his father's group's total output value was assessed at 17 million, the total amount of cash it could actually put out was only around 1 million.
, until this moment he believed that what his father often said about people should not be judged by their appearance was indeed very reasonable.
There are only a few dozen counters on the eighth floor, and there are only a dozen or so customers. Each one follows the rules carefully, with a scholar's unique concentration on his face, and picks up his favorite materials at each counter to review. From these
No one could feel the energy fluctuations of the spiritual weapon on their bodies. It was obvious that these people were high-level weapon masters.
The materials that can be seen on the eighth floor are obviously different from those below. For example, the centuries-old green cotyledon leaves that **** worked hard to obtain in Tang's Academy are also sold here, and the price is less than one-tenth of the price in Chunshui Empire.
, as well as Seven Star Night Flower Grass, Chen Bone... What surprised **** the most was that he saw a piece of gold. The owner who sold the gold obviously didn't know the goods and marked it with a yellow and copper label.
The price is just one thousand crystal coins.
There are thousands of different types of metals on the Mother Emperor Continent, and among these metals, only six metals are not minerals and are included in the category of living things. Jinjin is one of the only six metals.
The reason why gold can be classified into the category of living things is mainly because of its ability to grow.
A piece of gold that is the size of a dust speck will expand thousands of times when poured with pomelo juice, and will shrink back when it encounters tung tree oil. It is said that the ingredients of gold are left in the spring water battleships of the Chun Shui Empire, ***
*The piece of quenched gold that I saw in front of me was at least the size of a human head. It was a rare thing, and its value could no longer be measured in terms of money.
**** Before seeing an instrument master reaching for the piece of quenched gold, he, Larrick, rushed over with lightning speed, snatched the piece of quenched gold from the stall, and at the same time put a
He took out an amethyst coin from the storage card, threw it on the stall of the owner, and said at the same time: "I want this item!"
Most of the equipment master's energy is used to study the creation of equipment, and very few of them will devote themselves to practicing physical skills. Generally speaking, there are few physical skills above level three, especially the equipment master who is also interested in gold extinguishing.
He was not even at the first level. He was staggered several steps by the strong wind brought by the **** when he came out. If it hadn't been for the support of an eighth-floor staff member, he would have sat down on the ground.
"Damn it, where did you come from, to be so rude? Mr. Fei is a senior equipment master. If he falls, it will be a loss for the entire Qinglong Free City. What are you still doing there?
Come over and apologize if you don't hurry up." Several nearby guests who had been wandering around quickly gathered around, and one of them pointed at the **** with a sly look and said angrily.
"Ahem, no need. This little brother is unintentional. I just think that piece of yellow copper is a bit special and I want to take a closer look at it. Since this little brother buys it first, I'm just curious.
Huang'an copper is not a very precious material, so why does the little brother seem so nervous?" The equipment master, known as Mr. Fei, waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then asked.
"Mr. Fei, do you even need to ask? Looking at this guy's clothes and his temperament, he doesn't look like a machine master. Even if he is a machine master, he is at the basic level at most. You, old man, look very ordinary.
The material must be a rare thing in his mind, and he doesn't know what the staff here think, allowing such a person to sneak in." The oily-faced guy said disapprovingly after hearing what Mr. Fei said.
.
Mr. Fei glanced at the fat man with an oily face and shook his head secretly. He looked so smart. Why was he so stupid? How could this young man take out an amethyst coin calmly and casually? How could he be a simple person?
Role, amethyst coins are a status symbol in the upper class, and ordinary people will not own them at all.
**** ignored the fat man who looked like a fool at first glance, and instead focused his attention on the senior weapon master named Fei Lao. Although the upgrade of the weapon master is not as difficult as that of the spiritual weapon master, it is still very difficult for anyone who can reach the advanced level from the basics.
None of them. Judging from the number of weapon masters in Qinglong Free City, there will be no more than ten senior weapon masters in Free City. In terms of status, this Fei Lao is half a step ahead of the average basic spiritual weapon master.
"That piece of copper is not gold and copper at all. If it falls into your hands, it will be a waste of money." **** looked at Mr. Fei and said slowly.
After saying this sentence, the expressions of everyone in the audience changed. Fei Lao is a senior equipment master. Although he looks only 40 or 50 years old, his actual age is more than 200 years old. He relies entirely on various genetic medicines to continue his life.
Yes, I have dealt with countless materials in my life. Now, a young boy in his twenties pointed out that he was mistaking them and said that the things in his hands were a waste of resources. This is simply the most incredible thing this year.
.
"Huangkou kid, do you know who you are talking to? You actually said that the respected Mr. Fei can even miss a piece of copper. If you don't kowtow to Mr. Fei to apologize, don't even think about leaving the black market today.
"The fat man bared his teeth and said with a ferocious look. Those who didn't know thought he was the one who was questioning!"
It's a pity that the fat man acted in the wrong way. After hearing what **** said, Mr. Fei not only didn't get angry, but instead smiled at **** and said: "I also feel that this piece of Huang'an copper is not like ordinary copper.
, that’s why I wanted to use it to study it. Judging from my friend’s words, you must know what this is. I wonder if you can explain it to me so that I can answer my doubts.”
As expected of a senior equipment master, he naturally has his magnanimity. What Mr. Fei said was extremely kind, but he didn’t expect that after listening to his words, **** just frowned slightly and said: "The things are already there."
What is in my hands has nothing to do with you, and there is no need to explain it to you." After saying this, **** ignored everyone and went up to the ninth floor, leaving everyone looking at each other.
"Awesome, brother, you are so awesome. A senior equipment master has been humbled by you like this. Idol, my admiration for you is like a torrential river..." Conan followed behind **** with bright eyes and kept chattering.
said.
"Mr. Fei, given your status, you are not ashamed to ask this question. This boy is not grateful. Don't worry, I have already ordered people to prepare. As long as this boy leaves the black market, I will give him a show of strength." The fat man was still hunched over.
The person beside Mr. Fei said to please.
"For your sake as well as mine, let me give you a piece of advice. This young man is not a simple character. People with such arrogance must have their own reasons. It is a taboo for those who are superior to set up an enemy they don't understand for no reason.
." After saying this, Mr. Fei ignored the fat man and walked upstairs. Although he hit a snag, Mr. Fei became very interested in ****.
In fact, **** didn't hate Mr. Fei. On the contrary, the scholar's demeanor and shameless attitude of asking questions also made him feel happy. However, he really couldn't explain to him that he was coming, and he knew very well that he was pregnant.
The principle of Bi's sin is that if such a large piece of dead gold falls into the eyes of someone who understands its value, it will definitely cause trouble.
The items on the ninth and tenth floors are similar to those on the eighth floor, except that the quality of the materials is higher. **** went around twice and found no precious materials like gold, although several of the materials were*
*** needed it, but he already knew that in the black market, the materials on each higher floor were better than those on the next floor, so he naturally planned to go upstairs to take a look first.
There were also guards between the tenth and eleventh floors, but they did not stop the **** this time and just let him go. Apparently, the staff from the company downstairs had no idea how to get the ****.
The wealth he carried was reported to the superiors. As for Conan, who had been following ****, he was automatically defined as a minion by the staff.
After seeing **** going up to the eleventh floor, Mr. Fei followed him upstairs without hesitation. Even the heads of the eight major Qinglong families would be very polite to senior equipment masters like Mr. Fei when they saw him.
Of course the staff did not dare to stop him, and they all bowed and sent Mr. Fei up with smiling faces.
