"Boy urine! Fresh and still hot boy urine, made by the store himself! The best boy born in 38 years, 0 matings and 0 masturbations! One bottle for 1 order!" shouted a fat man with a beard.
"Secret vampire bat wings! Original imported from Africa! Great for refining talismans, making poison, and making soup. 2 pairs at 1 point, buy 10 and get 5 free, members also enjoy a 20% discount!" A witch-like old woman shouted.
"Ms. Chen's corpse collection specialty store has been engaged in corpse recycling business for a long time. No matter where you die, you can recover the remaining parts. It only costs 5 points, the price is fair, and you don't have to be bullied." A little girl shouted to the outside.
Welcome to Black Eden, which is the only dark commodity trading market in the country. The 30-meter-high empty market is filled with large and small stalls, just like a sugar and wine exhibition held somewhere.
Every stall is shouting as hard as they can, and the hostess walking in the aisle will give you a bag for free, and then fill it with various brochures that you can't understand. And the products they promote, even Baidu Google 360
I couldn't find any relevant information even after searching together.
It’s no wonder, because 30 years ago, the vendors here still lived in seclusion in various villages and towns, or even in the mountains and forests, with various dark items passed down from ancestors or privately developed. They were only spread in small circles, and both the output and the buyers were extremely high.
Scarce, many are even on the verge of being lost.
It is not surprising that practitioners in the past would travel all over the world to get some good stuff.
In order to solve the procurement problem, the Underworld Bureau began to vigorously integrate traditional folk dark props, introduce modern craftsmanship to traditional supernatural objects, increase product quality and output, and provide them with a marketing platform - Black Eden, allowing merchants to obtain huge profits.
At the same time, it reduces the difficulty for investigators within the bureau when purchasing personalized props.
Just imagine, the east family buys Buddhist beads, the west family buys charms, the north family buys dog blood, and the south family collects corpses. Special products and special services that are hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart can now be purchased just a few steps away.
Merchants even provide door-to-door delivery services. All special goods are delivered by the dedicated logistics company "emsb" and can be delivered nationwide within 3 days, with cash on delivery.
In order to increase the management of Black Eden's merchants, the Underworld Bureau has established a special currency for its market, which is the performance point of all investigators.
Each investigator can obtain corresponding performance points after completing corresponding tasks. In the past, these points were only used for regular examinations or upgrade examinations.
Now, this kind of points can be used to directly purchase various commodities in Black Eden. After obtaining the investigators' performance points, the merchants will go to the Logistics Department of the Underworld Bureau for accounting on a quarterly basis. One point can be exchanged for 50,000 cash.
.
The Underworld Bureau is also responsible for providing formal industrial and commercial invoices to these enterprises or individuals and collecting various value-added business taxes to ensure that the market created by itself will not disrupt the outside world's social economy.
A total of 500,000 Underworld Bureau investigators support the Black Eden Market, which covers an area of more than 60,000 square meters. About 300 companies make a living here.
Among the many shops, the largest "Jinxiu Pavilion" has established an official cooperative relationship with the Bureau of Underworld Affairs, and has almost monopolized the sales of Black Eden's most high-end fighting props. The annual profit from performance points exchange is as high as 1 billion. How?
Can it not make people jealous?
However, Jinxiu Pavilion is also responsible for the onboarding of new members of the Underworld Bureau, which can be regarded as serving the people while eating official meals.
"Listen, I will only say the next words once." Along the bright red carpet, Thirteen said as he walked towards Jinxiu Pavilion, "For us, performance points are more important than money, because you can use it in
Purchasing various high-level props and weapons in Black Eden is the second most important guarantee for the investigator's survival besides his integrity.
The regular exam at the end of the year requires 100 points of performance, so just make sure you have 100 points in your account balance by the end of the year, and the rest should be maximized for consumption here."
"How many performance points can you generally get for completing a task?" Lin Xi asked in a low voice, following closely behind Thirteen. She frowned and looked at everything around her. The disgusting gadgets placed on various stalls challenged her lower limit.
"If you are a full-time investigator, the tasks you perform are strictly carried out in accordance with the hierarchical distribution model, and your performance is fixed, just like salary.
The only advantage of temporary workers like us is that we can perform tasks beyond the hierarchy. In addition to doing some tasks assigned by superiors, we can also hunt freely without notification. However, the investigators call this kind of free hunting the "death privilege".
"Thirteen chewed the White Rabbit toffee in his mouth, and turned slightly to look at his partner behind him, "For you, in fact, all tasks are seeking death."
Lin Xi is very lucky. As a specially approved temporary worker, she has 5 points of reward performance, worth up to 250,000 yuan. In modern society, this is enough for her to buy a good car. But here, it is just enough to buy a 5-liter car.
It's just child urine.
Thirteen didn't understand why the bureau took special care of this girl. When he entered the industry, he only received the words "Do a good job, the country needs your life."
No matter what kind of conspiracy there was, Thirteen was the one who led Lin Xi to the path of no return. They arrived at the door of the "Jinxiu Pavilion" in the center of Black Eden.
I saw the three-story store standing in the central area. The retro style makes it like a work of art in itself. The official kiln red brick walls, colorful glazed tiles, carved peach wood doors, and blue steel stone floors seem to be there at every corner.
Different stories can be told to people.
The most eye-catching thing is the signboard with the three big characters "Jinxiu Pavilion" printed in gold, which is particularly grand.
All investigators’ careers start here. Everyone knows that in Black Eden, the peripheral shops will always sell mid-range or large quantities of gadgets, while the most high-end things can only be found in Jinxiu Pavilion.
They can only buy it. This is like state-owned enterprises in the real estate industry. They use their strong financial resources to first acquire the best land in the market, and then develop and sell it.
Don't complain, for the precarious investigators, they are too accustomed to this feeling of the jungle.
Thirteen and Lin Xi pushed open the door and walked in. Employees in Tang suits and long skirts immediately greeted them with smiles. The lotus strolling manner did not look like a store selling things. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a daughter of some family.
.
"Is the store manager here?" the thirteen-year-old asked familiarly.
Suddenly, a white figure rushed out from the inner room of the store at the speed of a cheetah. Without waiting for Shisan to react, he jumped up and hugged Shisan's neck tightly.
"Brother! You promised to come today, but you only came now, so Alei has been waiting since the morning!" The girl was wearing a white lace dress, black and white striped stockings wrapping her slender legs, and her hair was golden.
Her wavy hair and cute big eyes are like a doll made by skilled craftsmen. Her clothes and appearance are in sharp contrast to the surrounding environment.
"It's not that my brother wants to be late, it's because I have work to do today." Thirteen turned his head and pointed at Lin Xi behind him, showing a helpless expression, "She is a specially approved temporary worker, and the princess asked me to bring her to join her.
, she is also my new partner."
"Temporary workers? Isn't the bureau no longer recruiting temporary workers?" A Lei said and jumped to the floor. She was only 150 centimeters tall and looked like she was only 13 or 4 years old at most. At this age, even thirteen is still in school.
Time has passed, but Alei has become the store manager of Jinxiu Pavilion.
In fact, not many people in the Underworld Bureau knew her true age. Thirteen could only remember that when he came to apply for employment, Alei was already this petite. As a result, 8 years later, she couldn't even reach 1 millimeter.
It didn’t last long. Legend has it that a curious investigator once went to check Alei’s background, and then the investigator never appeared again.
"The legs are so long...have you been taking calcium tablets since you were born?" A Lei frowned and stared at Lin Xi's long legs, which made Lin Xi feel a little embarrassed.
"Hello, my name is Lin Xi. I haven't asked for advice yet." Li Duoduo was not surprised. Lin Xi reached out to A Lei Sheng, who could only be regarded as his little sister.
"Ale, there's no need to tell you that Ale's name is Ale, because you don't have the smell of a cultivator or a strange person. Ale doesn't know if the director has a problem in his head and asked you to become a temporary worker, and specifically asked his brother to be you
Partner, but Alei knows that the chance of us meeting again is less than 10%." Alei glanced at Lin Xi, pouting her little mouth in a way that was not so much arrogance as being too cute to extricate herself, making it difficult for you.
Get rid of the hate in your heart.
"I'm sorry, I may have caused you trouble by breaking into your world, but I will try my best to do my job well." Lin Xi maintained the gesture of reaching out and smiled.
"Stubborn women are the most annoying..." Even though Alei said this, she still took Lin Xi's hand and pulled her towards the inner room, "Let's go, Alei will take you to apply for employment, brother.
Please wait for Ale for a moment."
"Go get busy." Thirteen said, sitting on the outside seat, taking out the chocolate beans he brought with him and stuffing them into his mouth.
There are very few people in Jinxiu Pavilion today, and there are not many guests in Black Eden, not even half of the usual number.
After asking the clerk who brought the tea, I found out that tomb robbers had unearthed the real tomb of Cao Cao in Henan, and had awakened thousands of his Yin soldiers to protect him. The news had been blocked, and the local investigators of the Underworld Bureau were seriously short of manpower. From the Imperial Capital
A large number of investigators were deployed to provide reinforcements.
This kind of overseas reinforcement work is generally rare. Even if it does exist, it has little to do with Shisan, an informal employee. The only benefit to him is probably that it makes the usually noisy Black Eden quiet, right?
On the other side, Lin Xi was brought into a small room like an infirmary by A Lei, and was even arranged to sit on a hospital bed.
"Here you go, drink it." A Lei poured a glass of boiled water and handed it to Lin Xi.
"Thank you." Lin Xi was really thirsty. He raised the cup and drank it before passing it back to A Lei, "What kind of water is this? It's quite sweet."
"It's nothing. Alei put some soul-eating dung beetle eggs in it. The taste is good, but when they hatch in your stomach, it will be very painful." Alei said as usual.
