Although the two talked a lot, they never talked speculatively, and in the second half of the journey, even if they rode together on a mount, they were silent, and they stiffly maintained their sitting posture with each other, trying to avoid touching each other.

When approaching the black market, Mo Cheng opened his mouth first: "It's coming soon, will you follow me to buy medicinal herbs in a while, or walk around by yourself." ”

"I'll still follow you, the first time I came, I don't know where to go?" Chunyue wanted to resolve the unpleasantness as soon as possible, and also wanted to get out Mu Chen's news as soon as possible, even if it wasn't from the heart, she still chose to walk with her.

"Okay, I'll take you around briefly, and then you can decide when you have a general understanding of the layout of the black market, the main energy of buying things in the black market is bargaining, and you probably won't be interested in joining me after reading it." ”

"yes, I don't know any of this, so I'd better follow you. ”

It didn't take long for the market to appear in front of it, which looked like a large scale from a distance, with tents on the periphery and wooden stalls inside, looking regular and neat. The only thing that stands out is a four-story earthy building, as if the entire market was built around it.

"It's here, come down. After the two came down, they recalled the velvet rabbit and walked into the black market.

"Do you see the tallest building? It's the only inn here that offers room and board. The prison city lives there. Mo Cheng pointed to the tulou and explained to Chunyue.

"I don't think it's a small place, is there only one building?"

"This is a market, not a town, and no one has lived here for a long time, so what's the use of building so many buildings. Except for the nearby villagers, the rest are passers-by, and most of the stall owners are asking for sky-high prices to deceive the people of the wasteland and make ill-gotten gains. ”

"Didn't you just say that there is a supervising market, and they are not responsible for managing it?"

"There are only two things to do in the market, one is to collect taxes and stall fees, and the other is to protect humanity from the use of force by the wastelanders. ”

"I don't understand this, it's clear that it's the wasteland who was deceived, how can I protect the liar?"

"The black market is based on this rule, as long as we reach an agreement, that is, I will get the goods after you pay the money, and this matter will be over, and the rest will be expensive, fake, the quantity is wrong, etc., all of them will not be counted, and you don't want to find anyone to theorize, and no one will call the shots for you. A lot of people in the wasteland don't know the rules of this, and sometimes the practice is too drastic, and the supervisor will come forward to coordinate, but it is just a formality, and the result is direct expulsion. ”

“... And the deceived wasteland man just went away, didn't he resist?"

"Didn't you say when you came, resisting is the same as treating poachers, directly sticking to the avatar, and if it's serious, the market will be stopped, and generally this happens, many experienced wasteland people will go up to dissuade and explain, most of them will not continue, the rules here are like this, you don't know how to be deceived, that's your business, but you play scoundrels because of this, it is absolutely not allowed. ”

"I didn't expect us wastelanders to be so vulnerable here. ”

"It's not just the wastelanders, it's also the human race, no matter where you come from, as long as you can make money, anyone will cheat. Therefore, you must be cautious and cautious when trading, pay more attention, and never show the appearance of a rich person, you will be targeted by many merchants and join forces to deceive you. ”

Mo Cheng took Chunyue around, the market is three long streets horizontally, there are stalls on both sides of the street, you can't see the end at a glance, each street is about ten meters apart, and the open space between the streets is basically full of tents and items for sale, as temporary warehouses. There are also three vertical passages that cross it. In the center is a four-storey tulou, the area is not small, a single floor is four or five hundred square meters. The first floor is a tavern, with a door in the north and south directions, the second and third floors are guest rooms, and the supervisor lives on the fourth floor. The first to third floors are the same size, the fourth floor is slightly smaller, only half the size of the third floor, and a round table and four chairs are placed on the sundeck, and the top is supported by a veil to shade the sun.

"This earthy gray building looks quite imposing up close. Chunyue looked up.

"Isn't it magnificent, compared to these stalls and tents? If you've ever been to Homeland City and seen the residence of our young city lord, these are... Forget it, you don't have a chance anyway, let's buy herbs. ”

"When I find Mu Chen, there will be a chance. Chunyue walked a few steps to keep up with Mo Cheng, thinking to herself.

"I see a lot of weapons and equipment in the wasteland, why are they all sold by humans?"

"The stalls are not rented to the wastelanders, these weapons and equipment are sold by the wastelanders to humans or bartered, and the stall owners then sell them to hired people, earning a high price difference. Because this is the only place where you can buy weapons and equipment from the wasteland, there are many hired people or inland arms dealers who come here, most of them are rich, and the equipment trade is becoming more and more popular on the black market. ”

"Why don't you rent a stall to the people of the wasteland, I'm afraid we won't give money, right?"

"That's not it, it's not convenient to manage, the wasteland people generally don't stay for a long time, although this does not restrict the entry and exit of the wasteland people, but it seems that you have a stricter management over there, and you usually stay for a few days at most and leave, the mobility is too great, unlike the local villagers, the stalls are rented on a monthly basis, which is easy to manage." ”

"Then we have suffered a lot of losses, selling equipment at low prices and buying wine and food at high prices. ”

"Do you see the tents over there? The circle outside the market, it's all you wastelanders. They are aware of this, so they set up their own stalls and wait for customers on the outside. ”

"Isn't that a business robbery, you allow it?"

"Allowed, the market will take 20 percent of the transaction amount as a management fee, and if you dare to conceal it, you will go through the process, portrait, expulsion, and boycott. ”

"Why do I always feel like we wastelanders are being bullied no matter what we do here. ”

"That's it, this is the human black market, although they can buy and sell on their own, but there are basically no customers, come for three or four days, and go back before the customers come to the door, there is no competition with the stall owners here, plus the high management fee, many people are after the completion of the transaction, there are still some excess items to try their luck, sell it as a profit, can not sell it will not be affected, anyway, the main purpose of the black market has been completed. ”

"I didn't expect that our Wasteland Warriors could survive in such a harsh environment, and we would be so fished here. ”

"I'll tell you about the inequality again, the black market is actually the territory of the wasteland. Isn't there a buffer zone of 10 kilometers on both sides of the dividing line between the human continent and the wasteland? This is actually on your side, but the border mountains are too obvious, and everyone takes the mountains as the dividing line, according to the natural geography, plus the boundary map department has been guarding the north side of the mountains, and after a long time, no one pays attention to the location of the actual dividing line. As if sharing a little secret, Mo Cheng deliberately lowered his voice and snickered twice.

"It's... This is too..."Chunyue was surprised on the surface, but she didn't really care about this, she just wanted to ease the relationship between the two of them, and deliberately made a speechless appearance.

"Therefore, living on the human continent cannot rely on force alone, but only by being well-informed and clear-minded can we live and understand. Mo Cheng was visibly proud and began to preach.

"Aren't we going to buy herbs? Have you found a place to sell them?" "Even if Chunyue deliberately cooperated, she didn't want to listen to her, so she quickly reminded her that she still had something to do.

"That's it, how do you sell these leaves?" stopped in front of a stall, holding a handful of yellow leaves twenty centimeters long and five centimeters wide.

"How much do you buy?" The stall owner was an obese middle-aged man, covered in sweat, looking at Mo Cheng with a smile on his face.

"You can tell me how much money I have in my hand first, I don't want it if it's too expensive. ”

"The thirty silver coins you took, of course, can be negotiated as much as you want. ”

"Heh, give you thirty silver coins, and the herbs on the table and the wine brewed behind you will belong to me. ”

"You're kidding, that's not how the price is repaid. The boss straightened up, and the smile disappeared.

"Let me tell you, I'm from Jiayuan City, I live in Shanling Village, and I'm still a pharmacist, so you can sell it or not. Mo Cheng didn't look up at all, and directly began to pack up the herbs on the table, ready to take them away.

"Wait a minute, I said little girl, aren't you a thief?"

"These herbs are not processed by pharmacists, there is no curative effect at all, you use it to make wine is also fooling people, in order to sell at a higher price, the medicinal materials can be collected in the mountains, if I don't have time, I don't bother to talk nonsense with you here." ”

"How do you talk little girl?"

"Listen, if it weren't for the Patriarch and the Young City Lord sending me to treat the villagers, I wouldn't have bothered to visit this place. Today is to rob you, if you have the ability, you go to the prison market, I will see what he can do to me. As soon as he finished speaking, all the herbs on the table were virtualized.

"No... Don't bother to supervise the market, thirty silver coins are thirty silver coins, and today I was lucky to meet some big people. The boss's attitude changed sharply, and he hurriedly took out a jar of wine from behind him and handed it to the table.

Mo Cheng picked up the wine, threw a bag of money, turned around and left. Chunyue was stupid in place, unable to believe what was happening in front of her, looking at Mo Cheng's back, revealing a shocked expression.

"Let's go, what a daze. Murphy called back to her.

Chunyue hurriedly followed, and said in surprise: "You, you are really a robbery, although you are not gentle and cute, but it is not so fierce, how can you negotiate a price be the same as changing a person." ”

"Who do you say is fierce, he is obviously deceiving people, these herbs can be seen everywhere in the mountains, a small handful is thirty silver coins, and he really takes me as a big wrongdoer. ”

"Even if he asks for a price, you don't have to be so fierce. ”

"This is how you have to deal with a profiteer, the more you reason with him, the less he takes you seriously, and he will trap you by changing the law. ”

"But this boss is also interesting, he was scared by you. ”

"What frightened, didn't I mention the Great Patriarch and the Young City Lord, he didn't look at me like nonsense, of course he didn't dare to talk nonsense with me anymore. ”

"Isn't this just using official positions to bully people?"

"You... The herbs I took weren't worth thirty silver coins in total, and he was still profitable. ”

"What an eye-opener for me to be able to trade items like this here, this way..."

"There are a lot of doors in the black market, you can learn slowly. ”

For Junyue, this first human trading scene made her stunned, although it was successfully completed, she didn't know what kind of mental impact the black market would bring her.
