Chapter 450: Light and Darkness 5, the black quotient of the explosion of efficiency
A mage is born with a safe area called the Mage Network Library, and may be teleported back at any time. If he really wants to disappear, there are only two reasons: First, he is imprisoned by some kind of spell or magic weapon. Second, he is isolated by a certain natural environment. Unless he himself
You cannot contact Mage.com, otherwise Mage.com will definitely be able to bring you back.
Another point.
Yao Ji's friends are also unable to contact her, which is more troublesome than expected.
Most likely, she is isolated in a special natural area.
This matter was very difficult, and Tang Shidao thought that he would not be able to find any clues for a while. After all, the experts from the Mage Network had been working hard for a long time, but they could not find it. It would definitely not be that easy for him. After asking Long Gang in detail, Tang Shidao
I found that I was thinking too much. The shadow area also has a 'market model' similar to the Kingdom of God, but it is a hundred times more efficient.
"Hello, Tang Shengzhe, I am a black businessman. These friends of mine are called black businessmen. We are a group that specializes in serving rich people."
Long Gang introduced a group of people.
All of them have the same name: Black Trader!
This group of people is special, they sell everything.
"I don't know much about your team, could you introduce yourself?" Tang Shidao gestured.
"The information fee is 1 gold." The leader of the black businessman extended his hand.
"Oh..." At this moment, Tang Shidao had the feeling of seeing a scarecrow, even though the man in front of him was weak and scumbag.
Lan Ji smiled and handed over an arcane gold coin.
She is also a second-generation god, so she naturally understands the black business community.
"We Black Merchant are an alliance, and all of us use the code name 'Black Merchant'. In addition to the shadow area, we also have activities in the Kingdom of God, but we cannot compete with ordinary merchants in the Kingdom of God. We also have our own strongholds throughout the void.
, it can be said that it is everywhere. Well, 1 gold is only worth so much." The black merchant stopped mid-sentence.
Lan Ji handed out another one, no more, no less, just one.
"We have our own intelligence group, and we also have cooperative intelligence groups, so we almost 'know everything'. Similarly, we have our own armed forces group, and we also have cooperative independent groups, mercenary groups, legions, divine forces, etc.
Whether it's intelligence or war, we'll take on all the missions we can be sure of." The black merchant stopped here.
Lan Ji handed over another one.
Tang Shidao was funny: "Can't you give him a bag?"
Lan Ji smiled and said: "No, Brother Tang, even if I give him a handful of holy crystals, they black businessmen can still tell me the equivalent information. If you want to deal with black businessmen, you'd better get to know them a little bit first."
Tang Shidao was slightly surprised and nodded.
At this time.
"Our fees are very high. We charge at least 2 gold for the same job that can be done by someone else for 1 gold. This is the minimum, it's more than 2 times. In addition to high fees, we don't accept all tasks and sell all information. It can be said that,
We, the black merchants, are a very 'bully' group of customers. For example, if you ask Saint Tang about the Seven Heroes of the Anti-Mage, we will definitely not sell secret information."
"So you know some of the secrets of the Seven Heroes of the Anti-Mage?" Tang Shidao asked.
"This 'whether' also costs money." The black businessman felt like he was possessed by a scarecrow.
Lan Ji didn't give it, just looked at it with a smile.
Then.
The black businessman added: "We charge high fees and have restrictions on selling information, which is very deceptive. But we have a guarantee: if we think a task can be done and take it on, we will definitely complete it. If it cannot be completed in the end, no matter what the reason,
We will refund at least 100 times the compensation to the customer. If the customer is not satisfied, they can continue to make claims. In short, if we are unable to complete the process, the customer can turn to us."
Tang Shidao thought that there is a reason why your charges are so high.
Lan Ji threw another gold coin.
"Enough talk. This number is not enough, too little."
Lan Ji was stunned and threw nine more.
"not enough."
Another ninety pieces.
"Five times more." The black merchant asked.
Lan Ji didn't care and gave it directly.
The information must be worth so much. If it is not worth it, it means that the black merchant has not completed the task. You can claim a hundred times the amount in return.
"Not long ago, we took over a task: to assassinate one of the members of your core team. After discussion, we targeted the ten wolves with the least background and weakest strength. But after Miss Meimo's 'Cloud God' appeared,
We gave up the mission and paid 150 times the deposit. So as soon as Commander Long Gang wanted to introduce you, we immediately agreed. After losing so much, we must make it back from you."
"This is not worth 600 gold." Lan Ji said with a smile.
"It's worth it. We black merchants only rip off customers, never defraud them." The black merchants said calmly.
The ten wolves next to him listened, thought for a while and said: "My enemy is not one person, but a group of people. Maybe there is one here."
Everyone nodded and didn't take it to heart after knowing it.
There is only one thing left after asking, the information Tang Shidao wants to know. Except for Bai Shengnan, no one knows who Tang Shidao is looking for. They only know that it is a female mage. In principle, it is normal for a mage to help his colleagues on the Mage Network. Everyone
Not surprising. But they didn't know that Tang Shidao couldn't disclose Yao Ji's identity. If everyone knew that the missing person was one of the three resurrection masters in the Forbidden Demon Land, it would be a huge change.
"I'm looking for someone, a female mage, the female mage who disappeared here."
"Tang Shengzhe, this is not a business deal."
"Make an offer."
"There are many people missing in this shadow area alone, thousands of them every day. If they are mage identities, it will be even harder to find. If you can return to the Mage Network, your inability must be due to the special confinement... Well, there is
It’s impossible not to do business. Let’s do this. A person’s message requires at least 10 Saint Crystals, and there’s no upper limit. If it exceeds 5 times, we’ll both terminate it on our own initiative. If you don’t pay, we won’t accept it.”
"You don't dare to do it if you have more than 50 holy crystals?" Tang Shidao smiled.
"The news is worth so much, I really don't dare. We can't afford some delicacies. We are greedy but we are not brainless." Hei Shang said with a smile.
"Okay." Tang Shidao agreed.
The last word.
Just the word 'good'.
Half a day later, when Tang Shidao returned from participating in Long Gang's victory celebration, the leader of the black businessmen came to visit again. Fourteen large and small wars broke out in the nearby area, affecting five residential stars and one hundred and forty-seven wild stars.
There are twenty-three saint-level mercenaries, and more than 2,000 strong men are seriously injured and slightly injured. According to the ratio of Blue Dragon Star, about three-fifths of the mercenaries and strong men seeking opportunities are involved.
The final result.
The leader of the black businessman laid out four reports of missing female mage, the earliest one was more than 7,000 years old, and the latest one was more than ten years ago.
"The reward is 127 Saint Crystals." The black merchant shouted a strange number.
Four pieces of information.
The lowest value is 40 coins, and he actually called out such a number.
"Okay. If I let you sell the information for free and I get the exclusive, how much do you need to pay?"
"That's it..." The black merchant thought for a while and then said: "The reward is 280 Saint Crystals. Of course, the intelligence fee is not worth so much, but we can help you get rid of some insiders and completely cut off the information. 280 Saint Crystals are
The risk and the cost of mercenaries are also deposits. Only we know the information. If it spreads to the outside world, you can ask us for compensation."
"Aren't you afraid that I will release it on purpose and then ask you to compensate me?" Tang Shidao stretched out his hand to pay.
"Tang Sage is joking. Your name as the number one saint is not so worthless." The black merchant laughed, thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, we don't need to retaliate against you. We just need to find some rich people.
God, tell them: We have information about the fall of the First Saint, and we can sell one share for 10,000 Saint Crystals. Then, we can easily make the money back."
Tang Shidao also laughed.
Not long after, Long Gang sent someone to deliver a message. There were some 'riots' happening around. Some black-handed mercenaries and criminal groups were crushed, not even a single person was left. Their intelligence and information were all wiped clean.
It's as if it never existed at all.
Another half day.
"Tang Shengzhe, we are here to deliver a report." The black merchant handed over some records and said that you can check them.
"No, I believe you won't destroy your own sign."
"That's good, happy cooperation." The black businessman smiled.
"Collaboration is pleasant, but money is not. I thought I was quite rich earlier. Unexpectedly, after two businesses, my wallet was reduced by less than half. I still have several thousand Saint Crystals, but I don't seem to be able to squander it here.
Get up. Mr. Black Businessman, is there any way to make money?"
"I thought Tang Sage would ask about the Black Moon Palace."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to pay."
"Indeed. If Mr. Long hadn't made a fuss, this mission wouldn't be worth it. Now, if the intelligence fee is less than a thousand holy crystals, don't ask for it. Well, Tang Sage, there are so many ways to make money, I don't know how you would choose.
.If you want to get money as quickly as possible, killing people is the fastest way to be a thug. If you want to train your team members, being a reinforcement to deal with the void beasts is the best way."
"Let's start talking business."
"We are listening." The black businessmen became excited upon hearing this.
"First, I want information about Black Moon Palace."
"No counter-offer for 1,000 Saint Crystals."
"Of course. Second, I want you black merchants to contact the most appropriate support operations and let all my team members participate in the alien beast war."
"This is quite cheap, 2 Holy Crystals each time, the maximum is only 10."
"Okay. Third, I want you to find a mentor who knows the most about battlefield training. I'm not interested in making money with them, I just need them to grow. Rapid improvement is not necessarily a good thing. I need a mentor who knows how to train and control. You guys
The cost, including him, is quoted as a total price.”
The black merchant was stunned when he heard this.
The second-generation gods next to them were also stunned. They didn't expect that the first saint would actually spend money to train themselves.
"Is Tang Shengzhe testing the abilities of our black merchants?"
"Will you answer it or not?"
"Twelve thousand holy crystals, we took them. The person we asked for help was the principal of a super magic academy. For some reason, all his students died. He is not the second mad god, but he is definitely worthy of education.
The word principal."
“What should I do if I don’t have enough money now?”
"Pay off 13,000 coins within ten years, and pay off 26,000 coins within a hundred years."
Tang Shidao was about to agree, but Lan Ji summoned two star iron boxes: "Here are 20,000 pieces, three missions, you can take them yourself, and then return them to me after you finish the calculation."
"Happy cooperation, there will be a war mission tomorrow at the latest." The black merchants took two boxes and left.
At this time, everyone was waiting for Tang Shidao to speak.
Calm down for a while.
Tang Shidao made a decision: "Yi Hui, please take everyone to the battlefield for training. I need some time to deal with things. Mei Mo, Lan Ji, Wu Yue'er, the three of you will do a task together. Four pieces of information, two
It's no use, Bai Shengnan and I are looking for the one who disappeared last, and you guys are looking for the other one. Don't take risks when you encounter strange things, just send me a message first."
"good."
Everyone was fine with it. The shadow area was originally a battlefield. Quests, treasure hunting, learning skills, vendettas, wars, training, making money, weapon refining, medicine, and making friends were all normal here...it was abnormal to be lazy.
