Although Aoki was wearing a loose black robe, the receptionist did not show anything strange. This is the Golden City, and any kind of people may appear. Aoki dressed like this is not an exception.
Aoki did not speak, but took out a Team Rocket identity card assigned on the trial island from his pocket. When he left the island, Kage had already changed his identity from a trialist to a "glorious" Team Rocket.
Soldier.
Seeing the ID card with the Rockets logo that Aoki took out, the receptionist's face changed slightly, and he immediately led Aoki into a dark room.
Without saying a word, he took Aoki's ID card and swiped it on a computer. After seeing the information on the computer screen, he handed the card back to Aoki with a sigh of relief.
Then he pressed a button under the table, and a hidden secret door opened on the ground.
"Go in, no trouble or fighting is allowed inside," the receptionist said expressionlessly.
After saying that, he turned around and left the room.
Aoki has been here countless times in his previous life, so he is still very familiar with this process. Without hesitation, he walked directly to the steps of the secret door and walked down step by step.
After he fully entered, the secret door closed automatically, leaving no trace.
Following the footsteps, weak lights lit up one by one, allowing people to barely see the steps.
Aoki walked along the steps for nearly five minutes before finally reaching the bottom. The originally narrow corridor now became very spacious and he reached a hall.
There are many corridors in the hall that are exactly like the one Aoki just walked out of, leading to various regions and spreading all over Golden City.
There are as many as ten centralized halls like this in the entire black market, and each hall also has ten passages.
Although the Golden City is very large, through these passages, most places in the Golden City can be directly connected to the black market. The Aoki passage is only guarded by Team Rocket.
Stepping out of the only door of the hall, you saw a wide road, full of all kinds of people with expressionless faces and stern expressions.
There are also some people like Aoki, who are wrapped in black robes, and there are not a few such people, so Aoki's arrival does not attract much attention.
This is the largest underground trading market in the Kanto region, a huge underground city, the golden and black market!
Walking on the streets, there are countless large and small roads here. Aoki saw many Rockets members who did not hide their identities and walked arrogantly in the middle of the road. Others did not have any objection to their behavior.
It means that even everyone passing by will stay a little further away.
Obviously, as the largest force in this underground black market, people with Team Rocket status have a high status here.
However, Aoki has no idea of revealing his identity. Although members of Team Rocket have considerable privileges here, it does not mean that everyone is afraid of you.
If you show a value that is inconsistent with your strength, those desperadoes with sharp noses like maned dogs will not care about your identity. When you leave this dungeon, you will probably die.
"Come out, Murkrow!"
Aoki directly released Dark Crow from the elf ball, and then let him stand on his shoulders.
Although Dark Crow's weight has increased again now, Aoki's growing body has also been greatly improved, so it is not unbearable for Dark Crow to stand on Aoki's shoulders now.
But this is a necessary behavior. If you want to avoid being targeted in the black market, some means of showing muscles and strength are still necessary.
After Aoki released the Dark Crow, those originally cryptic eyes gradually left him.
Obviously, the fierce aura and faint smell of blood in the Dark Crow that came out of the Trial Island made those desperadoes who have been licking blood all year round feel some threat.
Although this is Aoki's first time here, he is very familiar with where and what items are sold. In the unchanging black market, different items are sold in each area.
Without the slightest pause, Aoki walked straight to the elf props sales area.
The main ones in the black market are some shops, but there are also some special streets, which are places for trainers to sell their own things. These places are often the most mixed, with some very precious things in them, and some that seem very rare.
Precious fakes, as for what you can buy, it all depends on personal taste.
Aoki didn't go to those places. The most important thing for him now is to earn some alliance coins first, and then buy energy cube making tools. These things are basically not available at small vendors, and can only be found in larger stores.
For sale.
We walked directly into the largest store in the elf props sales area. This store was opened by Team Rocket, so it enjoyed the best resources and was in the best location.
Different from the store that serves as a cover at the entrance, this store has a dazzling array of things, and it is almost full of people, both selling and buying things.
Aoki was very familiar with it and walked to a counter that had just been vacated. On this counter was a sign that read "Appraisal".
There are a dozen appraisal counters like this in the store. Behind each counter is a staff member with a Rockets medal on his chest, expressionless, mechanically appraising every item put in front of them. The appraisal is completed.
Afterwards, a purchase price was quoted, and regardless of whether the seller wanted to sell the item, he would need to pay a fee of 500 alliance coins.
There are many people who appraise items, but very few people actually sell them, because the acquisition price of the Rockets is indeed not high.
However, it is very formulaic, and you won’t want to be greedy just because the thing you are selling is very precious, so many people will go here to estimate the price of unknown items.
Because of this, the Rockets' reputation in the black market is still very good.
After most people have completed the appraisal, they will rent a small stall on the street where the stalls are set up, and then place their own items on it, because this way they can sell it at a higher price, and the time required is relatively small.
It's much longer.
Most people would do this if they didn't need money urgently.
Aoki sat down on the chair in front of the counter and without saying anything, he took out a glass bottle from Team Rocket's storage belt, containing some milky white liquid, which glowed faintly under the light.
This is exactly what Aoki used in exchange for money, and it is also the most suitable thing in his possession to exchange for alliance coins, Earth Core Milk.
Before Aoki came to the black market, he used a relatively small bottle and poured a full bottle, which accounted for almost one-twentieth of his total amount, which was half of his original bottle.
