Chapter 689: The Maritime Market Where Counterfeiting is Rampant

The location of the sea market in Waterway 108 is not a particularly hidden place, it is located in a huge abandoned oil tanker in Waterway 108, yes, it is the abandoned cruise ship at sea that can be entered in the game.

Led by the old bird Heiko, Sato Kaede finally arrived at the abandoned cruise ship at sea at around six o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, there were already a lot of people gathered on the abandoned cruise ship, and many of these people were undersea treasure hunters like Heiko, the only difference from Heiko who was empty-handed was that these people had a lot of good things on hand at this time.

Yes, underwater treasure hunters such as Heiko are the cornerstone of this sea market, and the items they find from the bottom of the sea are generally traded through this sea market, and people such as Sato Kaede are the buyers.

In general, this sea market is almost a very simple antique trading market, the only special thing is that it is a first-hand trading market for underwater antique relics.

Because this is a first-hand trading market, there are often a large number of precious antique artifacts here, as long as you have enough eyesight, it is not difficult to make a fortune here.

Of course, like many antique markets, it is also full of fakes that can be faked for real people, and the people who come here to buy things are basically just wronged.

However, there is no shortage of self-righteous people in the world.

Even though it is full of counterfeit goods, in the face of the temptation to get rich overnight, there is still a steady stream of people from all over the world, who are basically very confident in their eyesight.

Sato Kaede is naturally not here to find treasures, his main purpose here is to find members of the Ocean Team, and he now needs a suitable guide and identity to help him successfully infiltrate the base built by the Ocean Team in the 108th waterway.

Since it is almost night, Heiko and the others who came to Waterway 108 with Sato Kaede are not interested in diving for treasure hunting, and like the wild elf habitat on land, the bottom of the sea at night is much more dangerous than during the day, and diving to the bottom of the sea to hunt for treasure at this time is no less than suicide.

As a result, most of the people on the Heiko speedboat were entering the increasingly popular maritime market at this time, just like Kaede Sato.

Sato Kaede blended in with the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the eyes of Heiko and the others who were following him, and then began to look for the marine team members in the sea market, and by the way, he took a look at the antique artifacts here.

"I walked by and took a look at the ancient porcelain that I just fished up from the sea, and look at the glaze and pattern on it, it is definitely genuine, it can't be fake, as long as it is 199998."

"Ancient coin monopoly stalls, there are a large number of ancient coins of different ages for sale, each of which is the best of the best, and one is only sold for 9999."

"Old Pete antique monopoly stall, ten years old stall, reputation guarantee, old Pete I guarantee that every piece of goods here is genuine, fake one pays ten, do what you say."

.......

Just like a normal downtown area, the stall owners in the sea market have their own skills to sell their antiques and artifacts, and some of them even send their own elves to solicit customers.

For example, Sato Kaede, because he was wearing a high-end trainer's outfit at this time, many sharp-eyed stall owners asked their elves to come to him.

Along the way, Sato Kaede was warmly welcomed by the elves such as the fast swimming frog, the little sea lion, and the agate jellyfish, but fortunately, Sato Kaede still had a 100,000-volt hidden dragon on his shoulder, and he may have really been pulled over by these enthusiastic elves.

With the detection ability of the system, Sato Kaede wanted to find something valuable in this first-hand market of antique relics, but when he turned on the detection function of the system, he found that the fake water here was not ordinary deep.

Along the way, more than 95% of the antique cultural relics he has seen are fake, even if some of them look like they were fished from the bottom of the sea not long ago, but they are actually high-imitation fakes.

As for the remaining 5% of genuine goods, in Sato Kaede's opinion, the value of those genuine goods is just like that, not a particularly precious thing, and it can't be sold for a few dollars.

"Is this really a first-hand trading market, why is the counterfeiting trend here more prevalent than those second- and third-hand antique trading markets?"

"These people estimate that in order to fake, they may have really buried some things under the sea for many years, this craft is really amazing, if I don't have a systematic identification function, I came here to send money to these people."

"Anyway, is the manager behind the scenes here really the ocean team, why haven't I seen a single member of the ocean team until now, does it mean that this is a free-range management?"

Sato Kaede very simply refused a hot female stall owner in front of him and a bronze sword with serious oxidation that she had kindly recommended, and then looked at the people around him who were dressed differently, and thought extremely speechlessly.

He had already circled the sea market two or three times in this abandoned cruise ship, and he had released his mental power throughout the whole process, carefully observing every move of the things around him, but there was still no trace of any member of the ocean team.

However, Sato Kaede was not in a hurry, he found that he should have come early, and during the period of his visit to the market, more and more people came to the abandoned cruise ship sea market.

Nowadays, the number of stalls and people in the market is increasing, and if the people of the Ocean Team do not come out to maintain order now, this place will be chaotic sooner or later, after all, this is not a regular order market.

The people who come here are basically not ordinary people, more than 90% of them are quite powerful trainers, even ordinary people, they must also carry many powerful trainer bodyguards around them.

Here, strength is actually a part of money, and sometimes a large part.

Sure enough, because no one has maintained the most basic continuity, the contradictions in the market have begun to intensify, and some ruthless people have also begun to make trouble.

For example, a fierce-looking man fell in love with an antique, but because the capital in his hand was not enough, and the stall owner looked very easy to bully, so the big man threw down 100 alliance coins without saying a word and bought it directly.

The stall owner dares to set up a stall in this kind of illegal place, he is naturally not easy to bully, and when he encounters a commodity like Dahan who wants to buy it at a low price, he also released a level 36 stinger jellyfish without saying a word, and then commanded the stinger jellyfish to attack Dahan.

And Dahan is not a good bird, he saw the stall owner take the initiative to attack him, he immediately smiled hideously, and then commanded the level 39 giant pincer crab next to him to attack head-on.

Suddenly, a battle of wild elves broke out in the sea market without any safety rules.

However, before this sudden battle of wild elves could be fully launched, two thick bolts of lightning suddenly appeared, and then hit the stall owner's stinger jellyfish and the Khan's giant claw crab one after another.

The two water-based elves who were fighting were hit by a powerful electric current, and they both fell to the ground and lost their ability to fight.

Then, a long tentacle suddenly stretched out quickly from the sea, and under the frightened gaze of the big man, it accurately tied the big man with five flowers, and then dragged the big man into the sea.
