Looking at the dark golden [Watch] mecha card in his hand, Xun Qiu wanted to say that he was not excited, it must be fake.

This is different from the training mecha [Blue Stone] in the courtyard, this is a two-star mecha, and it is the highest level of the standard mecha that Azure Academy can handle. The rookie armor division who has just been discharged from the hospital, but there are few people who can directly use the two-star mecha.

took out more than 500 at once, which shows that the hospital and Dean Dong have made a lot of money!

In fact, he didn't know the secrets of the academy involved.

In order to stabilize his position in Azure Academy, after learning that several of the newcomers in this year are outstanding, Bridges, the financial secretary of Azure Academy, immediately approached Dean Dong Hongyu and claimed to voluntarily sponsor this year's rookie competition. Bridges is well aware that the Board of Directors has long been in retirement, but he has not been able to make a decision on his successor. On this great opportunity to curry favor with the dean, how could he let it go? With only 500 [Watch], he won't take it seriously. His family's business has gradually expanded to other seas, and a few months of profit is enough to pay off.

Of course, no matter how Xun Qiu's thoughts flowed, he would never think of going there.

He only knew that if he couldn't scrape together the money to buy a new mecha card for a while, then the card in his hand would not be bad.

"Let's go, Xun Qiu, let's go to the city! Today I'll take you to eat something good! Lotte Yu put his arm around Xun Qiu's shoulders and said happily.

"Delicious?! Better than the college cafeteria? When Xun Qiu heard this, he suddenly became energetic. In terms of interest in eating, in the first class, Lotte Yu can barely be regarded as the second, and the first is none other than him.

"That's it! There are only a few things in the academy that go over and over again. How can there be any fun from those novelty shops outside! Let's go! ”

With the longing for the food that Lotte Yu said, Xun Qiu stepped out of the door of the academy for the first time.

In fact, after coming to this world, Xun Qiu was almost exclusively active in the academy. It's not that he doesn't want to go out to see the world, it's just that in the past few days, in order to brush up on his choices, he went around Lu Gaoqing all day long, and he didn't have the heart to do anything else at all. Now that the dust has finally settled, his heart has been much more relaxed, and he finally has the interest to go outside.

"First of all, let's go to the famous gray market in Tianqing, find a friend of mine, and try to sell that set of cards......" The two walked towards the shuttle station, and Lotte Yu helped arrange the itinerary for the two.

"What is the gray market?"

"It's a place that specializes in that kind of business that doesn't do black and white. The goods traded there are all regular goods, but some of them may come from unknown sources. Ordinary people get some strange treasures, and they also like to take them to the gray market to sell. Because the people there never ask where they come from, they only look at the goods, and they pay the money happily. The only drawback is that it only accepts coin transactions, and the price is quite ruthless. ”

"I see, ......" Xun Qiu felt that the gray market was really a suitable place to set up his own cards. If the price is too ruthless, it depends on whether he is willing or not, "Okay!" Then let's go to the gray market first! …… By the way, are there any mecha cards for sale in the gray market? Will it be cheaper? ”

"Mecha card...... Lotte Yu said with his eyes slightly closed, rubbing his chin, "It's hard to say." It depends on luck. Good things basically can't be kept. You get the idea, right? There is a kind of person who lives by picking treasures in the gray market all year round. Nicknamed, garbage guy. ”

"Here we are, it's the shuttle station." Lotte Yu pointed to a tall building in front of him that looked like a mountain, and said loudly.

Azure Academy, shuttle terminal, has a total of three floors. On the whole, it is majestic and magnificent, but also low-key and deep. In addition to the three levels of above-ground tracks, there are also two levels of underground tracks. The shuttle tracks leading to seven or eight directions are like the rhizomes of giant trees with intertwined roots, connecting all the urban areas, towns, settlements, time and space shuttle stations on the landing island.

In addition to the basic waiting building, there are also a variety of small restaurants, coffee spots, Internet cafes and other dining and entertainment venues nearby. Walking into the bright waiting hall in the waiting building, the rows of simple metal waiting chairs are neat and immaculate, and the light can shine on people.

It was the afternoon, and there were still a lot of people at the station. The scorching sun has weakened a lot, and the cool breeze in the hall is indeed pleasant. The two of them found a corner with few people, sat down and waited.

The shuttle is the only large-scale civilian vehicle in the world except for the shuttle, which is powered by solar energy and energy cards. The shuttle ride is completely free. A shuttle car has about a dozen carriages and can carry hundreds of people at a time. As Li Da warned, places like the college district and the more prosperous key urban areas are all no-fly zones for mechas, so there are almost no mechas. Shuttles have become the best choice for people to travel.

Within a few minutes, the shuttle they had been waiting for came into the station.

Walking into the bright carriage, Xun Qiu's heart was pounding. This was his first time riding a shuttle, and his mood was naturally a little excited. Although the delicate decoration of the interior of the carriage was indeed eye-catching, it was not long before his eyes were drawn to the cityscape outside the window.

Although through the virtual network or memory, he has long understood the world. But unlike the angle of sitting in the academy and watching the sky, the feeling of being there is still very impactful.

Coming from the gloomy wasteland, how could he have ever seen such a scene?

The towering silver-gray buildings cut through the slightly golden sky like a sharp sword. The neon lights of all colors illuminate the whole city in a dazzling array of colors. Giant billboards can be seen everywhere, showing the world's most eye-catching light and shadow images, and the most moving story clips. The singing and laughter that can be seen everywhere in the city symbolizes the peace and tranquility of this world.

For Xun Qiu, these scenes were too shocking. Compared to the wasteland, this place is too unreal to be called a fantasy.

But he knew it in his heart. Such a prosperous scene is just the most central corner of Azure Continent. After all, there are still people whose living conditions are not optimistic, such as "Xunqiu".

As the shuttle continued, they gradually left the college district in the center of the academy and headed towards the West Quarter. It is the main business district of Tianqingzhou. Merchants from all over the world are located here, not only local to Tianqingzhou, but even consortia from other seas have settled in. The scene here is different from the city near the college. The buildings here are taller and the area is larger. There are also many more pedestrians on the road.

And in the far north, as can be seen on the shuttle, the particularly majestic bright blue building, which is the time and space shuttle station of Azure Continent.

Xun Qiu didn't have any concept of this world before. At this time, he realized that his home was quite close to the time shuttle station, and it might be a few blocks in between.

However, Xun Qiu's eyes were quickly drawn to the latest mecha displayed in front of a certain building.

His eyes lit up, and he stared at them for a moment. This is not comparable to the old training mechs in the academy. The clear outer armor, the smooth and beautiful lines, and the brilliant colors in the twilight all made Xun Qiu's eyes reluctant to move for half a moment. Especially the pair of wings, even if they were so far away, Xun Qiu felt that he could see the lines on each feather on the wings.

"Awesome! That is the latest mecha released by Luoheng Group, [Volley V03]. Do you see the pair of wings behind it? It is said that it was jointly developed by Luoheng Group with a huge investment and Qingyu Academy in Yuhai Lake. In terms of its air combat capabilities alone, it has surpassed the five-star mecha in the Feather Sea area! ”

Luoheng Group?

These words evoked Xun Qiu's memory. He thought for a moment before he remembered, isn't this one of the three forces that have gathered the Legend of the Seven Seas World Mecha?

"Guess how much that one costs?" Lotte shook his head happily, "20 million!" We ordinary armor masters, even if we work hard all our lives, we may not be able to earn so much! ”

Xun Qiu's heart was shocked. According to Lotte Yu, it wasn't the highest-star mecha. After all, the mecha that can be placed on the road as a living advertisement must be a mass-produced model. If it was those top-notch mecha that the major forces were extremely hidden, the value was estimated to be unimaginable to Xun Qiu.

"Don't look, we're here!" Lotte Yu's words brought Xun Qiu's deep thoughts back to reality.

He suddenly found that the neighborhood he was in now was so dense that even the light was blocked a lot. Walking under the cover of these metal walls, Xun Qiu felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. The density of buildings here is much higher than that of the college district. All kinds of shops around, the sound of bargaining comes and goes, and the voices of people are boiling, so it is not lively.

But after passing a few side streets between the tall buildings, they turned into a corner that was completely different from the street they had just passed.

He found that many of the people who appeared here were either dusty and weather-washed, or their expressions were gloomy like phantoms. Immature characters like him and Lotte Yu, although there are a few here, they are not common.

"This is the gray market...... "Lotte Yu felt like he had come to his own home, and he naturally waved his hand in front of him.

Sure enough, as the name suggests, this place is neither black nor white, and it is full of gray and dark old buildings. The shops downstairs are not as neat and clean as the buildings I saw on the road just now.

Old facades, old shelves, old people.

In such an environment, Xun Qiu had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

This is arguably the closest corner to his original wasteland. Although the environment is still much better, the overall atmosphere is somewhat similar. The people here are completely different from what you see in the academy and in the neighborhoods outside. Their eyes reveal indifference, greed, ruthlessness and even evil, but there is no innocence.

Xun Qiu stood at the corner of the gray market, as if a switch on his body had been turned on, and his whole temperament changed. Even if he is a tough person who has been in the gray market all the year round, he will not underestimate the young man in front of him with thick eyebrows and big eyes but sharp eyes like knives. His piercing eyes, solemn expression, and steady and vigorous steps all showed that he was not the first time he had come to such a place!

And Lotte Yue beside him seemed to have no reaction at all. The smile on his face was as usual, and the dimples as deep as the abyssal sea seemed to have a kind of magic power, which made the people around him who were not kind in face a little gentler.

After walking into the depths of the gray market for a while, Xun Qiu was surprised to find that many people here would smile and nod their heads to greet him after seeing Lotte Yu.

"Yo, isn't this Lele? Why do you have time to come back today! By the way, it's time for you to finish this year, right? How's the result? When they passed by a small grocery store, an uncle in his fifties saw Lotte Yu and even came up to greet them with a happy eyebrow.

"It's okay! Barely passed! Hey! Lotte Yu was like seeing an elder he hadn't seen for a long time, he didn't have any timidity at all, and naturally pushed Xun Qiu in front of him and said, "This is my friend, he hasn't been here, I took him here today." ”

"Aha! It turned out to be Lele's friend, so welcome! It's like your own home. You're welcome. Just make a noise if you want it, everyone will give Lele face! ”

Give Lele face?!

Xun Qiu looked at Lotte Yu beside him with ghost-like eyes.

He suddenly found that he still knew too little about this "Xun Qiu" good friend.
