Chapter 445: In the Wild Shop
Psychic diagrams.
Hehe, after tossing all night, such a thing came out.
Cat's Eye braved the nasty sun, from his home in the city center all the way west, across hundreds of kilometers, to the black market on the outskirts of the satellite city of Xiacheng, Mangzhong, all of which was the result of Baronan and his latest work.
She hasn't forgotten that she first fell into the pit because of this damn "psychic map", and someone even had the face to let her come out to find out the news! What "involves the black market, Sister Yueyin's side is not easy to disturb", it is obviously revenge, revenge, right! She was also dizzy, why didn't she smash that guy in the face with a picture at that time...... Oh, you can't smash it.
"ungrateful, despicable devil, shameless, and ......obedient when you get cheap" Anyway, Ronan can't hear it, and he doesn't care if he hears the cat's eye, so all kinds of negative adjectives and adjectives, don't pile them up with money, it's best to crush that bastard!
The cat's eye is constantly slandered, and at the same time, he does not forget to memorize all kinds of details on the psychic map, especially about the outline of the cruise ship - Ronan said that he painted blindly by feeling, but this is a "psychic map", with Ronan's current fame, take it out for auction, I am afraid there are a lot of spiritual sides rushing to ask.
"The position of the cruise ship in the picture is too far away, and it is a side silhouette, which feels like a high number of layers, and the top deck has a number of wing-like silhouettes scattered and warped, which may be antennas, bridges, etc., ......"
The busy cat's eye finally stepped into the nomad exchange called "Wild Shop". This cave-like building is arranged in a style that is closer to the "original ecology". During the day, there are fewer customers, and the shopkeeper takes the opportunity to purchase and ship, and this side is like a freight yard with more hotels.
The tavern on the first floor is only open in the corners around the bar, and the light is deliberately dimmed, and the atmosphere of private transactions is out, whether it has practical significance is another matter. At least, for the cat's eye on the spirit side, after entering the tavern, almost the overall layout and details should be changed, and they all came out.
"Hmm, is it too coincidental or too unfortunate?"
Outside the bar, groups of high-backed sofas are scattered, and the seats are almost full, and they are all talking in low voices. The cat's eyes walked in with a grin, and it inevitably attracted everyone's attention.
Most people just lift their eyes and quickly focus on their own business. Only in the innermost part, a little old man of some age, just facing outward, winked at her, bared his teeth in amusement.
Cat's eye also responded with a wink, and pointed to the bar in hand, signaling everyone to do their own thing.
The little old man who looked lazy and spiritless was none other than Mr. Bai, a senior B-level spiritual side of the Xiacheng Branch, and also an expert in soulology.
Everyone is acquaintances and friends, and the more this is the case, the more attention is paid to maintaining each other's privacy. But the one sitting opposite Mr. Bai deliberately turned his head to look at it, and looked at it several times. Maoyan just thought that the guy was familiar, and he didn't remember who it was for a while, so he simply ignored it.
She then sat down in front of the bar: "Blood energy, refill the glass." ”
This is both consumption and a code. Using "blood energy", an expensive drink that costs honor points, means that I need high-end services at the world level, and high-end services such as "wild stores" are generally intelligence.
As for the "refill", it means that I have an account here and a reservation, and the purpose is very strong, don't fool me with those low-end things.
The bartender smiled professionally and quickly took out a sealed cup of "blood energy" drink from the expensive and sturdy safe beside him, and placed it in the tray and handed it over. In addition to "blood energy", there is also a small soft screen in the tray, on which a series of items are listed.
Maoyan opened the empty space of the beverage package, and had already finished scanning the items on the soft screen, and then rolled his eyes: "You're going to go bankrupt here, right?" ”
"Huh?"
"The time to make an appointment in advance is a bit short, and I understand the lack of preparation, but I don't need to fool around with the information from a week ago. In addition, you also count these two small sampans as cruise ships for me, can your cruise ship go into the underground ditch? ”
The bartender's professional smile collapsed a little, and before he could actually react, a figure next to the cat's eye came up, knocked on the countertop, and signaled the bartender to get out: "Don't be embarrassed here, today's salary is the training fee, go and work hard." ”
The bartender was a little confused: "Zong Shao? ”
"Go, go, I'll talk to my friends."
As he spoke, the one who just came up greeted him with a smile: "Oh, kitten, long time no see, you just came out of the hospital, have you received the alimony?" ”
This is the guy who was talking to Mr. Bai just now, and he turned his head to look at her. The cat's eyes lifted her eyelids, her eyes swept around the visitor's face twice, and finally remembered who this round-faced and slightly chubby buddy was, and without speaking, she picked up the drink cup of "blood energy" and splashed it with her backhand.
"I'll rub!" The man turned over suddenly, barely agile, but he was still splashed on the shoulders and the corners of his head by a drink worth two honor points, and he was extremely embarrassed for a while.
Maoyan didn't have a follow-up attack, but said, "Count it in." ”
"Mine mine, count mine." The man took the towel handed by the waitress, wiped it hastily twice, and willingly accepted the punishment.
The person who can talk to Maoyan like this is indeed an acquaintance, and he can barely be regarded as a friend. "Zong Shao" is named Zong Xuan, who is also a registered member of the Xiacheng Branch, and has a good father, who is the only three B-level flesh side of the branch, Mr. Zong Ji, a martial arts master known for his "Circle and Ruyi".
Although it is a family history, Zong Xuan is a prodigal, he has few achievements in martial arts, stumbling and barely crossing the C-level threshold, and has an identity in the association, so he puts all his enthusiasm on the world of flowers, flying all over the world all year round, and has very little time in Xia City.
By the way, this guy also chased Maoyan back then, but once as an "assistant", after personally demonstrating the magic of being "pierced by a flying needle", he stayed away from Maoyan.
"Forgive me for this today, last time, the Righteous Order's Ba Ze went crazy drunk, and with a group of people, he almost washed the blood here, and the familiar hands either died or fled, and we who took over were also helpless."
Cat's eye raised her eyebrows: "You're the ...... here"
"Little boss, little boss, participate in individual stocks to have fun, and it also makes my dad feel at ease."
"Oh, then I wish you a lot of money." The cat's eye swept the relatively simple layout in the cave, and sent an auspicious word without sincerity.
"In the realm of Xia City, playing this is a small business, and there is no future, so I count on old friends to take care of it." Zong Xuan sent two cups of "blood energy" very doggedly, of course, it was free, "If my father hadn't been angry, I wouldn't have invested this money in Xia Cheng." With this idle effort, I went to Hancheng, Ticheng, and Los Angeles to invest in a small store, as long as I could meet the source left and right, maybe I would tremble in two years. But here, thinking about the 'Big Three', thinking about Professor Luo, I am also trembling, my heart is shaking! ”
Cat's eyes lifted the cup and smiled slightly.
It is also a nomad exchange, not mentioning the three typical examples mentioned by Zong Xuan. Let's just say that the previous Spring City, where it can become a "market", but here is a "wild shop", not without reason.
The vast majority of nomad exchanges are profitable, including "wild shops". However, this kind of black market, which wanders on the fringes of multi-layered society, inevitably faces a considerable degree of competition. Its biggest competitor is the internal resource market of world organizations such as the Association of the Competent.
In a large metropolitan area, how much control and power of large organizations such as the Association of the Capable and the Secret Order are developing, you don't need to look at the reports or industries, you just need to look at whether the surrounding homeless exchanges and similar black markets are prosperous. The relationship between the two is clearly inversely proportional. At least at the transcendent level, the more resources that the guild branches and secret orders have exclusive control, and the stronger their control over the city, the smaller the living space of the black market; Conversely, if large organizations are poorly managed or deliberately connived, or if multiple organizations compete to check and balance each other, the black market has the opportunity to expand aggressively.
This is the case with Hanjo, a city of various sects, Te Castle, which is known as a "sea explorer's paradise", and Los Angeles, which is a tax haven.
With the "Big Three" in charge and now with "Professor Luo" born out of thin air, the "wild shop" is destined to only be a single auxiliary function of intelligence sales and transit and supply, and it can only help a limited number of people make a fortune. At the level of interests, once the word "limited" appears, the feet are often painted with white brains......
In recent years, Yedian has changed seven owners, the most recent of which is what Zong Xuan called the "Baze Bloodbath Incident". The time distance is not far away, just at the end of last year, it is closely related to the "Miss Two in a Thousand Incident" that caused the restlessness of the world, and it has a "certain relationship" with Ronan.
Thinking of Ronan, Maoyan also remembered the task on his body, and casually pushed the tray and the soft screen inside in front of Zong Xuan: "It's no problem to take care of business, now I have the opportunity to use you, I have deducted ten points just now, now it's up to you." ”
"It's drip, it's drip, Sister Cat must give me a chance to make up for it." Zong Xuan's businessman attributes exploded, picked up the soft screen and glanced at it a few times, then started to adjust the database, ready to change the intelligence entries.
Maoyan is a particular person, who knows how to come first and come first, and knocked on the bar: "Mr. Bai is still over there!" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just helping Black Heart Salt pass on a word, bring a gift or something. My family is awkward, so I don't make it up anymore. ”
Oh, you can't hear Mr. Bai!
Maoyan also knows that the Bai and Zong families are world friends, and they have their own way of getting along, so it is not her turn to worry about it. He nodded, and raised his glass to Mr. Bai from a distance, which was considered to be a full courtesy.
Mr. Bai smiled and waved his hand in response, and he didn't see the "awkward" appearance at all.
Here, although Zong Xuan has just entered the industry for a long time, his business ability is okay, and he quickly deleted the useless entries on the soft screen, added a lot of them, and handed them back to Maoyan: "Actually, your conditions are a bit vague, you know that the sea is convenient, and there are too many similar activities." I'm going to pick the ones that have a scale and are forced, but as you know, such events are generally limited in terms of qualifications, and you can't go up if you want to. ”
Cat's eyes are mmmmmm
Zong Xuan snapped his fingers again: "This project can't be exempted, but for the sake of old friends, let's give one more free gift, it's a project that a group of us are engaged in." The environment, the force, and the goods are all very good. ”
In the last sentence, Zong Xuan lowered his voice and came closer.
The cat's eye body does not move, and it is necessary to look at Zong Xuan's performance first, and then decide whether to shoot the soft screen on that pretentious face.
