Chapter 2 The Year of the 'Broker'

When he was sucked into the painting again, Qin Ran felt as if he had been thrown into a drum washing machine.

Spinning, spinning non-stop!

When Qin Ran came back to his senses, he found that he was already standing in a brightly lit corridor.

Qin Ran shook his head vigorously, and after trying to make the dizziness disappear from him, he looked at it carefully.

The corridor is not long, about ten meters or so.

At the end are two doors, one of which has been opened and secured.

Through the open door, Qin Ran could clearly see the crowds outside, rubbing shoulders, even if he was peeking at the leopard in the tube, Qin Ran could guess that it was very lively there.

Secret City?!

Qin Ran was stunned, and then strode out.

As for the door behind him, which is also painted in the form of an oil painting?

Qin Ran saw it, but subconsciously ignored it.

Drum washing machine or something, the most annoying!

Qin Ran stepped through the open door.

In an instant, it was as if you had arrived in another world.

The noisy and noisy shouting was no worse than the most lively market in Qin Ran's imagination.

Even, it is even more prosperous.

In a small place, there are rows of shops, and the stalls are connected to each other.

Hundreds of people walked through it, either picking, bargaining, or bartering.

The most conspicuous place is a two-meter-high platform, where more precious equipment items appear, and players who are surrounded there compete for bids.

"How?"

The voice of lawlessness came from the side.

"Far better than expected!"

"Except for the way to get here!"

Qin Ran said truthfully.

The 'Secret City' was much better than he had imagined, both in terms of the layout and the number of people who came.

In Qin Ran's original idea, the secret city should be in a hidden room full of guards, and the participants were only a few dozen people.

"You can give that guy advice!"

"However, it will definitely not be adopted!"

"That guy has a lot more stubbornness and ...... than you might think Bad taste! ”

"The first time I went in here, I threw up!"

"And what about that guy? Actually standing in one place hahaha laughing! ”

Lawlessness was obviously also dissatisfied with the arrangement of the 'broker', and when Qin Ran mentioned it slightly, he vomited bitterness.

"That's because there's finally something gagged you!"

"Even if it's the vomit you dig out of your stomach pouch!"

With a slightly youthful voice, a man in a black robe appeared next to Qin Ran and Lawless, although he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, but judging from the voice, the other party was not very old.

Moreover, the moment the other party appeared, Lawless stood in front of Qin Ran, looking at the person with a vigilant gaze.

"Don't look at me like that, my. Sex. Take. Xiang is normal! ”

"What about the craftsmen? Why didn't I show up with you? ”

"Originally, I was looking forward to seeing her again!"

The other party spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, with more teasing in his tone.

"I said it, don't involve anyone else!"

Lawless said in a low voice, word by word.

Qin Ran glanced at Lawlessness in surprise.

Qin Ran could clearly distinguish the lawlessness at this time...... Nervous!

Since he met the other party, this was the first time Qin Ran had seen this state of lawlessness.

Even in the face of the half-dead in their heyday, Lawlessness shows that they don't care.

But when he met the young man in front of him, he behaved as if he was facing a great enemy.

Is the 'broker' Mo Nian?

The identity of the other party is not difficult to guess, and you only need to pay a little attention to the lawless words to know the identity of the other party.

Qin Ran looked at the person in front of him curiously, even if the other party's face couldn't be seen clearly.

β€œ2567οΌŸβ€

When Qin Ran looked at the 'broker' Mo Nian, the 'broker' also looked at Qin Ran and asked in a very friendly tone.

And, without waiting for Qin Ran to answer, he continued.

"My old patron Steinbeck is very appreciative of your performance!"

"I think we can have a long-term relationship!"

The 'broker' was undoubtedly very sure of Qin Ran's identity, and as he spoke, he stretched out his right hand.

Out of etiquette, Qin Ran shook the other party's hand.

Icy cold without the slightest temperature.

It's as if you're holding a piece of ice, not the palm of a human hand.

Subconsciously, Qin Ran frowned.

An extreme sense of danger rose from the bottom of Qin Ran's heart.

Almost after letting go of his palm, Qin Ran distanced himself from the other party without a trace.

"Nice to meet you!"

The 'broker' didn't seem to be able to see Qin Ran's attitude at all, and took a more enthusiastic attitude, until a man who was also wearing a black robe walked up to him and handed over a note, and the 'broker' glanced at it very carefully and covertly, and then smiled apologetically at Qin Ran.

"I suddenly have something to attend to and I have to leave for a while!"

"Nice to meet you 2567!"

"I've already ordered you to go down, and you won't be charged a fee for auctioning any items in the 'Secret City' today!"

After speaking, the 'broker' bowed slightly and disappeared into the crowd quickly.

Qin Ran kept watching the other party's back disappear, and his brows never let go.

The other party was enthusiastic and polite, except for Steinbeck, Qin Ran had never seen this kind of person who maintained his etiquette at any time, but unlike Steinbeck, the other party made him inexplicably disgusted, even if both of them were so personable.

It's not just because of the sense of danger in the bottom of my heart!

There's a lot more that can't be explained.

"How?"

"That guy is a nuisance, isn't it?"

"Be careful, don't get fooled by that guy!"

Lawless stood aside and reminded Qin Ran.

"Well, it's even more ...... than expected"

Qin Ran nodded, but the words after that became inaudible.

"Let's go! Don't let that guy mess with your plans! ”

Lawlessness didn't care at all what Qin Ran said in the end, he just needed to know that Qin Ran was vigilant enough against the 'brokers'.

Next, with a wave of his lawless hand, he took Qin Ran to the secret market.

Just as Qin Ran expected.

The things in the secret city are many times better than the things on the player forums.

Although he didn't see the [Tekken-II] bazooka he once sold, the sniper rifle has a lot of attributes, even if it has no attributes.

Moreover, magic weapons that are absolutely not present in the forum also appeared.

Under the leadership of lawlessness, Qin Ran turned around the shops and stalls in the secret market.

Then, the magic weapon was seen in a stall near the auction stand.

Merely......

[Name: Flame Short Sword]

[Type: Sword Weapon]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Attack: Average]

[Attribute: Every time you attack, you will have a 1-1 fire damage effect]

[Special Effect: None]

[Need: Cold weapons. Stigger (Basic)】

[Note: This is the work of an apprentice, and for an apprentice, this short sword is a success!] 】

……

This [Flame Short Sword] is placed on a sheepskin, and its stats are set to visible, with a price tag of 4500 points and 3 skill points.

Many people stopped to watch, but in the end, they all shook their heads and left.

Obviously, the price does not match the value.

Although Qin Ran didn't know the value of this [Flame Short Sword], judging from the attitudes of the people around him, it was undoubtedly much higher.

"Let's go!"

"There's nothing to see here!"

"No one is a fool, if it's really a high-quality product, it's all taken to the auction table!"

"Whoever wants to pick up leaks here is a fool!"

Lawless pointed to a two-meter-high platform not far away.

Qin Ran nodded, and did not refute the lawless words.

Because, along the way, he had already figured out the general situation of the secret city.

Shops and stalls have good things that are not often found on player forums.

But there is a lack of quality products that are worth selling in the real sense.

It's like lawlessness said, no one is a fool, if it's really a fine product, it's all taken to the auction table!

Qin Ran knew the benefits of auctions, and others knew the same.

Just look at the number of people queuing up at the auction table to register the items for auction to understand this reason.

However, the vast majority of them were denied auction qualifications by the registrant.

Only a small number were allowed to go up for auction.

Those who are allowed to do so are naturally elated.

And those who are rejected are depressed.

However, the latter did not make any drastic moves.

Not because of the quality, but simply because of the guards standing around the auction table - ten robots one size smaller than the 'Jason' guarding the door, the same heavy machine guns with six barrels and two shoulder-fired guns, with unparalleled deterrence.

In addition, patrol teams pass through shops and stalls.

Anyone knows to be disciplined here.

Qin Ran and Lawless stood at the end of the team, moving forward with the team.

It's not slow!

"'Registrant' Zor, one of that guy's right-hand men!"

"It's a pretty good level of assessment!"

"Of course, I'm also proficient in identification!"

"If there's something that has a question mark in the system, this guy is the right guy to come to - but don't forget to have a lot of points ready!"

……

Lawless stood behind Qin Ran, communicating with Qin Ran in a low voice.

Naturally, most of the time, it was lawlessness, Qin Ran listened.

Fortunately, what Lawless said was what Qin Ran needed to know, otherwise Qin Ran in the queue would not even be able to escape.

After twenty minutes, Qin Ran came to the registerer.

Without any more conversation, the auction items were placed on the registrant's tableβ€”two WK-22 light machine guns and four shattered soul crystals.

When the two [WK-22] light machine guns appeared, the registrant did not raise his head and directly quoted.

"[WK-22], strong attack power, excellent quality!"

"Each base price is 3000 points and 2 skill points, and you will be selected!"

However, when the four [Shattered Soul Crystals] appeared, the registrant stood up suddenly.
