Chapter 59 The black market in the corner
Wan Yi has started inspecting the black market these days.
The main thing is to observe the details of the black market to avoid making any low-level mistakes.
As for why he came by himself instead of his clones, it was of course because the clones had been busy piecing together the pieces recently, resulting in a large-scale "strike".
What a bunch of ungrateful people!
Don't you know that only when Wan Yi leads a good life can they follow suit?
Anyway, there is currently no clone who wants to do the preparatory work for the black market, so Wan Yi can only do it by himself.
Because the first attempt is only going to be a small pilot, the scale does not need to be too large.
Wan Yi's current daily income from fragments is large compared to an individual, but compared with the daily turnover of a vast black market, it is still a bit inadequate.
Wan Yi spent some time and asked a boss who had been selling things on the black market for many years, and found out that the black markets were not in peace with each other.
After the underground black market in the refugee area was unified by a black market owner, that mysterious black market owner controlled more than 40% of the entire city's underground channels, and the benefits therein made countless people jealous.
However, after several attempts, it was discovered that the opponent's true identity could not even be traced. Some people gradually opened up the situation and started fighting in other urban areas one after another to occupy the cake underground in the city.
Those people moved very quickly, and because the black market was already chaotic, they followed the trend so that even the city officials were a little slow to react.
As of today, the black market structure of 014 Island City is basically stable.
The southern district, which is the refugee district, and the black market in the eastern district are all controlled by a mysterious black market owner, who can be said to be the dark emperor of 014 Sky Island.
The remaining North District and West District each have one person, forming a tripartite force.
It was said that there were three pillars of conflict, but Wan Yi always felt that it was because the emperor brother was afraid of causing stress in the city after swallowing the other two brothers, so he did not take action.
Of course, this is just a guess.
What? You ask about the central area? There is no black market demand in that place, so where is the black market?
At most, it was just a fantasy to sell some gadgets to attract the ignorant young people in the city. This kind of business is not big at all. If you are discovered, you may be beaten to death by the urban management bureau.
Wan Yi almost understood it and began to arrange for the clones to choose a suitable place to start their business.
The brainstorm begins.
"Please select your starting location."
"They have all been divided up. If other small black markets with a certain size form a group, they will be attacked and absorbed. In other words, according to our plan, they will inevitably compete with other black market leaders."
"Avoid the Refugee District and the East District? The black markets in these two places are the most developed. We were completely uncompetitive in the past, and we would be directly exposed to the eyes of that emperor brother."
"Actually, that's not the case. We have also visited the North and West districts. The black markets there are actually deviating in the direction of the underworld, and the methods are more ruthless. If you go there, you may be in trouble soon. But the black markets in the two southeast districts are The owner is very relaxed about other small black markets."
"On the one hand, it's easy to get started, but the ceiling is high. On the other hand, it's difficult to get started, and the future is unclear."
"Isn't the answer obvious?"
"Okay, come on! If it's a big deal, let's meet that emperor brother!"
Everyone made a decision quickly, and Wan Yi said: "There are enough clones. Let's follow the black market plan and start infiltrating people into the East District."
"okay!"
After the decision was made, some people who were wandering the streets left the homeless area.
At the same time, in the boundary space and time, a group of people also left one after another and spread out after crossing the city gate.
And all this is very normal, no one notices.
…
An Shengyun is an ordinary refugee. It has been almost a year since he came to this world. Seeing that the refugee wave is coming in the second half of this year, his stay in the Southern District is about to expire.
When a new batch of refugees comes in, he will be kicked out, and then he will have to work harder to find a way to make a living.
In one year, he achieved a second qualitative transformation and possessed a magical seed of power.
But he has already felt the limitations of being a refugee.
He can't collect higher-level rare fragments, and he can't touch powerful magic spells.
Because of his good luck in the two qualitative changes, his strength is pretty good among the same batch of refugees.
The first qualitative change is "excitation". After it is activated, the mental and physical abilities will be significantly enhanced, and even the special energy in the body will become stronger, just like injecting yourself with a stimulant that has no time limit.
It looks very strong, and it is indeed very strong, but it takes a lot of toll on the body. In a sense, it is a life-burning skill.
Because of too much use of this qualitative change, An Shengyun, who was originally a handsome young man, now looks like a drug addict.
He had to spend resources to make up for this part of his body's consumption, which seriously slowed down his development.
Over the past year, from the high-spiritedness when he first got excited to the decadence now, An Shengyun felt that he had seen through the world of mortals, and there was no longer any joy or sorrow in his heart.
Today is another fruitless day.
He went to a world where Dou Qi was the mainstream and wanted to find out if there was any alchemist who could help. However, after entering, he didn’t know where he was. He walked around for a long time without seeing anyone, and he was almost killed by a monster, which caused him great harm. Another shot of excitement saved the day.
I just hope that if I get the fragments of that monster today, I can exchange them for some remedial things.
He was on his way to the big black market in the East End.
Suddenly, he saw three people huddled at the entrance of an alley and talking.
He glanced over and saw that two of them were ordinary-looking, and the last one... I'll go! So damn ugly!
An Shengyun even thought it was a monster coming out of the boundary.
He was about to pass by quickly when he heard a few words as he approached.
"Real or fake? Is there such a black market?"
"Really, it seems to have popped up recently. You can reach it from this alley. It should be a newly opened small black market, but it has already attracted a lot of people."
"Is there anything good in this?"
"There are a lot of things for sale. Although they are miscellaneous, I heard that there are a lot of good things. A few days ago, there was a seller here who put out pieces of arms that were almost as good as wholesale ones!"
"I'll go, it's awesome, but I recently want to keep fit and increase my energy and blood. I still don't have enough weapons, so I'd better go to the big black market."
"There are some there too. There is a seller who is just like robbing a medicine shop in a fantasy novel. You might be able to find what you want!"
"I'll go! Is it really fake! Is it so good?!"
"You'll know just by taking a look. It's not big, so it won't waste much time."
"Yes, let's go!"
The three of them made their decision and walked into the alley.
After hearing this, An Shengyun immediately didn't believe it: "Wholesale arms? Medicine shop? Oh, I'm looking for a scam! Why would you sell it on the black market if there are so many things?"
After he finished talking to himself, he still stood at the entrance of the alley without moving.
Without him, if there really was a medicine shop, then he might actually have what he wanted.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to take a look.
Anyway, the black market opened here is not that big, so it shouldn’t take much time to check it out.
An Shengyun walked into the alley, which was winding and winding like a horror movie set, but soon, the sound of lively people gradually appeared in front of him.
The area in front is the confluence of many surrounding alleys and streets. Shops and stalls are spread out along the streets. They are not large in scale, but they use the terrain to create the atmosphere of a big black market.
There are indeed a lot of people coming and going. A casual glance at the surrounding stalls reveals that the goods are packed with goods, and many people can be seen excitedly negotiating prices with the sellers.
This is very rare, because many people go to the black market to set up stalls, basically just put the day's harvest on the ground, so that passers-by can clearly see it.
But most of the stalls here are just like roadside stalls, and you can’t finish them all at once.
"Hey! Be careful with your feet!" A somewhat sharp voice suddenly said.
An Shengyun quickly stepped back and saw that a stall next to him was filled with dazzling debris. Although they were all common debris, the amount...
"Watch carefully when you walk, will you pay if I step on it?" The seller seemed to have a bad temper, but An Shengyun had seen many such people and did not intend to get into trouble.
But just as he was about to leave, something among the many fragments suddenly caught his attention.
"Boss, how do you sell these?!" He quickly squatted down and reached out to pick up the fragments.
"I remember what kind of monster these fragments are." The boss rubbed his chin, and what he said made An Shengyun's face darken.
You can forget about the pieces you knocked down, right? Which normal refugee does not cherish the fragments of his daily harvest?
The boss couldn't remember it after thinking for a while, and finally quoted a price with a somewhat evil smile.
When An Shengyun heard this, he knew he was going to be killed. He just acted too eagerly, and this person saw it!
He did recognize what kind of magical beast these fragments came from. He had several secret recipes for restoring blood and strengthening the body. The medicinal materials were difficult to find, but if they could be prepared, the consumption problem of hyperactivity could be compensated to a large extent.
What is lacking now is this rare Warcraft material!
"You don't know what kind of monster this is and yet you sell it for so much money!"
"Just tell me if you want it or not!" the boss said with a shaky smile.
An Shengyun was not very good at bargaining. After thinking for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and took out his belongings and the only monster fragments he harvested today and said: "These are enough!"
When the boss saw this, he grinned: "Deal."
An Shengyun picked up these fragments, looked at them carefully, confirmed them repeatedly, and then carefully put them away.
The hope of turning over is here!
No matter how much he was cheated, he just wanted to go back and find someone to prepare the medicine.
But before leaving, he looked back and took note of the black market.
I was in a hurry today and didn't have time to take a closer look, but there are really a lot of good things in this black market. It should be that some refugees who have accumulated harvests all year round are preparing to ship in large quantities. This period is not to be missed.
After An Shengyun left, the originally bustling black market suddenly stopped.
Pedestrians and stall sellers turned to look at his back at the same time. If he turned back now, he might see this somewhat terrifying scene.
Watching his figure disappear around the corner, a "pedestrian" said: "The efficiency is too slow, hurry up and get more Amway people!"
"Paddle in the doggy group! Hurry up!"
"I'm pulling it, I'm pulling it. Don't let your seller team behave badly. What should I do if my attitude is so bad and I can't sell it!"
"There will definitely be a demand for good goods, it doesn't matter whether he wants them or not."
"Don't let the atmosphere team show off, continue to be lively and have fun!"
In this way, the black market became noisy and lively here, waiting for new visitors.
I overslept today in the afternoon, so I’ll add an update if I’m late ()
