The large cemetery on the outskirts of the city is now a temporary hunting camp, with tens of thousands of people gathered there.
Parked next to the railway were all kinds of magically modified locomotives, heavy armed trucks, and even various supply stores.
The bonfire was roaring and the atmosphere was lively.
In addition to professional hunters, there are also intelligence dealers and people from major gangs in the city, a mixed crowd.
In contrast, there were not many people in the Governor's Mansion, and some bright lights that coincided with the layout of the battle formation could be seen on the high ground in the distance.
On the one hand, there is chaos and on the other hand, there is rigor, and the forces of the two parties are clearly distinct.
There was no result before, and both sides were able to exercise restraint before.
Now that the exit of the maze has reappeared, no one from the Governor's Mansion has been seen coming out. Everyone understands that the Governor and his team have been destroyed.
The entire camp exploded in an instant.
The hunters swarmed away.
.......
The situation was better than expected, and the corpse recovery suit was not used.
Ji Xun and the two changed into adventurous attire, pretending to be new hunters, and inquired from the camp intelligence dealer.
Someone did leave the space eight hours ago.
But without making any noise, he disappeared.
After receiving this news, Ji Xun and Nan Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don’t know where Chujiu went after he came out, it’s probably the best case scenario that he wasn’t intercepted on the spot.
In this wilderness, as long as you are not trapped, you are mostly safe.
Ji Xun didn't plan to stay longer at the cemetery camp, so he spent some money to hitchhike back to Innocence City.
Nan Jing did not return to the city together. After saying goodbye, she disappeared into the darkness.
Ji Xun knew that she was worried about Chujiu, so he didn't try to persuade her to say anything.
What's more, this psychic lady is a first-level spell card master herself. Although she is often confused, her fighting ability is not weak.
Worry about her rather than worry about yourself.
Moreover, Ji Xun even guessed that the power behind Chujiu and the others was quite large, and their stronghold was probably not in Sinless City.
...
Not long after, Ji Xun returned to Sinless City.
I looked at the time, it was still early.
Ji Xun's first idea was to check out the black market on Anyu Street.
With so much loot in his hand, he wanted to convert it into combat power as much as possible and buy some equipment.
Ji Xun was cautious all the way and took the intercity train to the Anyu Street black market in Beicheng.
Last time when the black market on Anyu Street was bustling, almost all the hidden piles of the Cao family in Xiacheng were cleared.
Now that Governor Cao Sihai is dead again, the fourth young master of the Cao family probably won't have time to cause trouble for him in a short time.
Ji Xun wasn't careless either. Now he puts on a clown mask whenever he goes to crowded places.
Only then did we enter the dim street.
He needed good things that were difficult to find on the ordinary market, and the loot in his hands was very sensitive, so he could only find a way to sell it on the black market.
The reason why the black market is called a black market is because it is niche, high-end, and invisible.
However, this time I came, I didn’t expect that the black market had changed drastically.
.......
The last time I came here, the whole street looked like a ghost street.
The lights in the shop are dim, and pedestrians hide their heads and tail.
However, this time, when Ji Xungang entered the street, he suddenly thought that he had gone wrong.
What the hell is this neon sign that blinds people so quickly?
Looking again, those small shops with mysterious shanty style were overshadowed.
Instead, more than a dozen new stores were added, newly renovated and with eye-catching signs.
"what's the situation?"
Ji Xun stood on the covered bridge overlooking Anyu Street.
I wanted to observe the environment, but I was suddenly confused.
In the past, the shops on the black market were each more mysterious than the last. A wooden board with a random name written on it was considered a signboard, and each one was more hidden than the last. Like an assassin with a hood covering his face, he seemed afraid that stranger customers would guess what he was selling.
However...
Are there any of them with eye-catching neon lights like the dozen or so new shops in front of me?
What about "Bermuda Chamber of Commerce Branch", "Martin Military Machinery Shop", "Red Witch Pharmacy Shop", "Lawson Premium Card House"...
These names suggest that they are not some small workshops.
Instead, it gives people the feeling of a large chain supermarket.
Ji Xun's eyes twitched as he looked at the surging crowd on the street like they were going to a market.
Is this still a black market?
If you haven’t been here before, those familiar shabby shops are still there.
Ji Xun thought the black market had moved somewhere.
After all, they are here to buy things. Whatever the black market becomes, as long as the shops are still open, it doesn't make any difference to Ji Xun.
"Is it possible that the black market on Anyu Street still has the term 'going to the market'?"
With such doubts in mind, he walked into the crowd.
After walking for a while and listening to the exchanges between passers-by, it suddenly dawned on me.
It turns out that this is directly related to the maze of the cemetery he just came out of.
...
The Cao family had previously been appointed as the governor of Innocence City, so according to federal law, the noble lords had all the power to govern and operate Innocence City.
Therefore, the chambers of commerce and financial groups that came to Innocence City before were all on good terms with the Cao family.
In order to ensure the monopoly of interests, not only the number of chambers of commerce was small, but also because Cao Jiaxin was too eager to control the Nugget Terminal leading to the Old World, which resulted in a stalemate with the major gangs in the lower city.
This resulted in the major gangs in the lower city being unanimously xenophobic.
Almost any outside businessman would come to open a store, and either the transport truck would be robbed, the warehouse would be stolen, or the store would be smashed up.
No one can drive it anyway.
This has also resulted in the innocence city’s black market maintaining its most primitive chaotic style of gangsters eating gangsters and blacks exchanging blacks.
However, just seven days ago, the situation suddenly changed.
The news of Governor Cao Sihai's attack spread like wings throughout Innocence City, and also reached other lords in the rich ore layer.
The Cao family used some political means to obtain the territory of Innocence City, but they have not been able to control the Nugget Pier for such a long time, which has caused some criticism from other members of the Federation.
Now that Cao Sihai can't even save his own life, naturally no one believes that he has the ability to control Innocence City.
After the parliament re-voted, the Longcheng Cao family could not withstand the pressure and opened up the exclusive rights to operate Innocence City.
But after the debate, no one got the exclusive rights.
Simply open to everyone.
As soon as this law came out, the big business associations and consortiums in the rich ore layer were like hunting dogs that smelled blood, and they swarmed in one by one.
Today's Innocence City is like a terra incognita, and everyone wants a piece of the pie.
After all, this place is connected to the treasure land known as "gold everywhere" in the Old World.
When big business groups enter new markets, their favorite thing is naturally discounts and promotions!
I heard that the market over the Hunter's Guild on Gro Street is more lively, with hundreds of large new stores opening.
Even in the black market on Anyu Street, there are several powerful consortiums taking a dip.
The black market is deep,
The wind and waves are strong,
does not matter.
The louder the waves, the more expensive the fish.
...
"I heard that the 'Da Yiwan Secret Treasure Shop', which has only been open for two days, is offering a 20% discount on the entire store! If you purchase more than 100,000 yuan, you will also receive a lucky draw, at least you can win prizes worth tens of thousands of dollars. I heard that there is a lucky guy , and won a copy of the Silver Breathing Method worth millions."
"Not to mention these new shops, they have all the goods and the prices are cheap."
"Not only are they sold cheaply, but the goods received are also kind. We have a dedicated appraiser to estimate the value, so we are not afraid of being cheated."
"But, these are all shops opened by the big chaebols in the rich ore layer. Is there any conspiracy..."
"Hey, what the hell, isn't this a good thing for us hunters? If we buy and sell, we can get at least 30% more profit. I would rather open more of these shops."
"..."
The street is very lively with people.
After all, it is a discount promotion and it is not a chat address. People who want to buy come all at once.
There are naturally more people on the street.
The people in Guilty City are hostile to federal nobles, but not to merchants.
Especially there are no businessmen who do not have official backgrounds.
After all, businessmen control the vast majority of social resources, including factories, farms, transportation, etc.
They brought cheaper medicine, food, daily necessities, and a lot of sophisticated equipment.
This is a great thing for hunters.
Moreover, large commercial banks have a good reputation, so they don’t have to worry about being hacked or being forced to buy or sell.
Don't look at gangsters and criminals...they are all ruthless people who kill without blinking an eye.
But often it is this kind of people who care most about interests.
Although the order of Innocence City is controlled by a few major gangs, they can't force everyone to buy high-priced items, right?
For a time, the newly opened shop became extremely popular.
...
After Ji Xun walked on Anyu Street for a while, he already understood everything.
After seeing myself trapped in the maze for a few days, such a big change had taken place in Innocence City.
He also thought of something else.
Ji Xun had been wondering before that who was so bold as to ambush Governor Cao Sihai.
Normally.
Governor Cao is dead, whoever benefits the most will be the most suspect.
In other words, the major gangs in the lower city of Innocence City all have motives. After all, those are the people who are now hostile to the Governor's Mansion.
But now looking at this posture, I really can’t tell.
It seems that the political opponents of the Cao family are the ones who stand to gain the most?
But it seems the results are no different.
The person who planned the ambush of Cao Sihai never showed up from beginning to end.
It's not the gangsters doing it now, either.
...
"It's getting more and more interesting..."
Ji Xun thought of this.
It didn't matter to him whoever was the lord.
Just lively.
He also followed the direction of the crowd and wanted to see the newly opened shops.
He also earned his money through hard work, so buying things is naturally cheaper and better.
He also likes to see new store opening promotions.
It didn't take long before I walked to a newly opened shop.
There are already hundreds of people gathered here.
In the past, there wouldn't have been so many customers on one street.
Ji Xun was in the crowd. After observing the surroundings and finding nothing unusual, he then looked at the shop windows. There were indeed many good things on display.
And the melon-eating crowd watching the opening obviously knew better.
"Hiss... What is the origin of this 'Big Ivan Secret Treasure Shop'? It sells the latest federal military machinery and equipment? And the price is 20% cheaper than the market. How much money will you lose this day?"
"Losing money? Not necessarily. Didn't you see that they took out all the ancient relics? It can be traded without leaking treasures in the whole process, and many people who have black goods in their hands came to sell it. They got a lot of good stuff today. thing."
"I heard that this is a branch of the 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce', and the boss is very energetic. It is said that many treasures were transferred from the Chamber of Commerce headquarters for the opening, such as black iron and silver breathing techniques, many of which are secret techniques of the noble corps. Also There are only skill training cards that can occasionally be seen in the auction house, and there are even various treasures of gold quality..."
"..."
Ji Xun chuckled in his heart as he listened to others chatting about the newly opened shop.
The shills are indeed shills, but the news is also true.
He has also heard of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce.
It made its fortune in coal mining hundreds of years ago. Now its business scope covers all walks of life. This is one of the true top chaebols in the Federation.
People in this world are not very familiar with business routines.
Ji Xun was not surprised at all.
In previous lives, those with deep pockets entered new markets and burned hundreds of millions to occupy the market and kill all their competitors.
Then one family becomes the only one.
The plutocrats know this.
Looking at this move, Ji Xun knew that the "small workshops" in Innocence City were about to undergo a major reshuffle.
Can a canteen compare with a large supermarket?
I have what others don’t have, I have excellence when others have it, and I am honest when others have excellence.
Originally, there was one biggest difference between the black market and the ordinary market, that is, the boss of the black market dared to accept some goods that others did not dare to accept, and also dared to sell some goods that others did not dare to sell.
After all, there is a basis of trust. For some ruthless gangsters and plunderers who specialize in killing people and selling goods, the black market is a stable sales channel.
Ji Xun came here this time to see if he could sell the hot goods he had.
This kind of shady business is destined not to be big, nor can it be made public.
However,
This "Big Ivan" shop breaks this point.
Because there is an ancient relic placed at its door.
It was a mechanical lucky cat that looked like it was made of brass.
Ji Xun took a look and found that this was actually an ancient relic.
【Gold Swallowing Lucky Cat】
Detailed explanation: Level II ancient relics; after providing reference samples, they can be used to identify the value of items. The more reference samples, the more accurate the identification data will be; using this relic requires feeding precious metals;
...
Ji Xun came to this world and saw a lot of strange things, and when he saw this Lucky Cat, he didn't feel strange at all.
"This relic goes well with the black market..."
As soon as he saw the effect of the relic displayed by Enlightenment, he immediately knew why there were so many people in this shop.
Because if you want to sell those shady goods in the black market, you must find a trustworthy store, otherwise the probability of being hacked is extremely high.
Still need to be identified.
The price is whatever the appraiser says.
When stolen goods are collected on the black market, the prices are usually very low and there is a risk of exposure.
But this relic in front of me completely dispelled all worries.
The whole process is done without anyone’s eyes, and you can identify it without revealing the treasure!
While Ji Xun was watching, a mysterious guy wearing a gas mask took a few unknown cards and placed them on the tray of the mechanical Lucky Cat.
Hearing the gears creaking, the Lucky Cat swallowed the cards in the tray into its big mouth.
As if there was some magical operation, before waiting for a moment, the light screen above the Lucky Cat's head showed: Value 350,000.
The shop steward on the side had a bright and friendly smile on his face and asked: "Is this customer satisfied with the price of the appraisal? If not, you can choose to terminate the transaction and return the goods."
Seeing this number, the hunter who took out the card obviously couldn't hide his joy and said repeatedly: "Satisfied! Satisfied!"
These items need to be sold to other stores on the black market. Because of their sensitive origins, they can be sold for up to 200,000 yuan.
And this mechanical cat directly evaluated its original market price.
When the deacon heard this, he smiled and said, "The deal is done!"
The hunter got the money in a blink of an eye.
The goods were not shown during the entire process, and the transaction was completed with the help of mechanical cat identification.
Seeing this, Ji Xun's eyes flashed with joy.
This mechanical cat gave him a big surprise.
The most reliable shipping channel he could think of before was the "Silver Star Mystery Shop" introduced by Dong Qi.
But even if there is a transaction, the risk is still very high.
After all, whoever takes out so many Frost Knight trophies now, a fool can guess that they came from the cemetery.
The 407 space has caused enough troubles, and if it involves the murder of the governor of the cemetery, Ji Xun estimates that he will become the number one target of attention in the Innocence City.
Completely black box trading is less risky than going to anyone.
Moreover, this "Big Iwan's Secret Treasure Shop" is new here. It just opened in the black market and there will definitely be no way to ruin the sign.
When Ji Xun saw this, he followed the crowd and walked over.
He wanted to go to the store to see what they were selling.
...
People keep going to Mechanical Cat to sell things.
Ji Xun didn't look much and walked into the store.
As soon as I entered, my eyes were opened by the things displayed in the lockers.
[T3 Heavy Siege Mechanical Cannon] Price: ￥688W
[Thunder Breathing Method·Silver] Price: ￥155W
[Famous Weapon Lot's Thunderstorm Sword] Price: 180 million
[Technique: Wave Fist] Price: ￥2000W
【...】
Ji Xun looked over and saw that there were some samples displayed in the window, involving machinery, cards, equipment, potions... almost all the goods that hunters needed.
The machinery and equipment are all products of a well-known federal military factory, not a small workshop.
Cards, potions, etc. also have anti-counterfeiting stamps from major manufacturers.
All are excellent products.
And the price is also beautiful.
There is nothing in the window that costs less than a million.
Generally, if there is something worth a million dollars on display in a shop, it is considered a treasure. What is going on with this 180-million-dollar famous item?
Ji Xun has been in Sinless City since time travel. He has never seen such extravagant pampering.
Are the chaebols in this world so powerful?
When he saw the [Technique: Wave Fist], he was also very surprised: "Furthermore, this shop actually sells skill cards?"
