Su Yao's words were slightly vague, but the three words of science and technology made Tang Ling a little excited.

In this era, the upper echelons of the pyramid are definitely not fully represented by the powerful Purple Moon warriors.

In the division of the top, there are many specific branches of occupation, such as technologist, skilled, and so on.

Perhaps, as Su Yao said, the No. 17 security zone is really at the bottom, and even the high-end occupation division in this era is not clear, or it is impossible to produce certain occupations in the No. 17 security zone, so there is no need to list it.

But in any case, the word "technologist" means advanced technology ahead of the times, and there are more than just weapons.

They will provide drawings, find skilled people, and even engineers to produce, but they have priority in the finished product, so there are a lot of good things in the hands of technologists.

With these three words, Tang Ling profoundly felt the need to ask Su Yao clearly and figure out the questions that were pulsating in his heart.

"Uncle, you just said that the black market is graded. The black market controlled by the top brass of Security Zone 17 is a low-level black market, so where is the high-level black market? Tang Ling asked seriously.

"I'm afraid you misunderstood me. As a special force, the black market infiltrates everywhere, and any force organization, including but not limited to the security zone, has many black markets, intertwined. Some black markets will infiltrate influential organizations through business, while others will stay out of the matter and only extend their tentacles to the whole world. ”

"So, how is it possible that there is no high black market in Security Zone 17? It's just that ordinary people can't reach it at all. Just like the 12 entrances that Tony gave you are impossible to lead to the high black market, those 12 entrances can only enter the low black market. ”

"Also, you need to be careful, although it's just my suspicions. According to my observation, the real high-level black market is generally only a bystander to the ups and downs of the outside world. And there is only one organization that can truly be called a high black market. Su Yao frowned and said such a sentence, he did not move in the face of the turmoil, and generally there can only be two explanations.

The first is that they are not interested in fighting for power, but just want to really stay out of the situation.

Second, the plan is very big. After all, the black market is also the largest intelligence network, and when all the intelligence is gathered in one place, what a terrible thing?

But Tang Ling didn't care too much about Su Yao's words, he was only 15 years old, age determined his knowledge, and knowledge limited his thinking.

What was he interested in: what was that organization?

Regarding his question, Su Yao also answered directly: "The name of this organization is called 'Ice Floe', which means that the huge ice floes, the ice floes floating on the sea, maybe the part that emerges from the sea surface is only ten percent of its true volume, or even smaller. ”

"What a great name." Tang Ling sighed with emotion, then scratched his head and asked with great interest: "Then the No. 17 security zone also has a high-level black market formed by ice floes?" ”

There were so many rules and complexities in the black market, Tang Ling was full of interest in the black market, and he himself became a person with too many secrets that he couldn't see, maybe the black market was a more suitable place for him.

"Of course, ice floes are everywhere." Su Yao replied directly.

"So this time, are we trading with ice floes?" Tang Ling was a little excited again.

"What are you thinking? Do you need the resources you need to trade with the ice floes? Moreover, the trading objects of the ice floes are all the leaders of the forces above the first level, or the professions above the third level. Which green onion do you think you count? Su Yao patted Tang Ling's head.

"What is a force above the first level? Uncle, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to see ice floe, right? Tang Ling was patted on the head, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Unsurprisingly, he was kicked to the ground by Su Yao.

**

The dim passage goes straight down, and I don't know how to keep it ventilated?

Moreover, the passage is tortuous and winding, and there are many forks, according to Su Yao, if you don't master the specific rules of walking, you will get lost in it.

However, such a passage is not lonely, just because he and Su Yao will meet one or two people who are also wearing black robes and masks from time to time.

Or go on another path, or follow them along, but soon come to the fore.

The black market, naturally, has many unspoken rules of the black market.

Different roads, keeping a distance, is the most basic principle, after all, trading on the black market is not a very visible thing, the more you go to the high black market, the more so.

On the contrary, the so-called low-level black market leads directly to one road, and there is no need to worry so much.

Tang Ling didn't ask any more questions along the way, although he was really curious, there were so many black markets underground, what form did they take to exist?

Perhaps seeing that he was holding back too hard, Su Yao explained: "If a black market wants to officially enter a force organization, it will circle a good location in the underground of the force organization in advance. This location will maintain two basic principles. ”

"First, it's the Mustai Hall. Yes, you heard it right, all black markets, regardless of size, have a unified black market hall.

The most bizarre sight in the Black Market Hall is that there are more than a dozen doors of different forms.

These doors are works of art, and they are carved with the unique markings of each black market.

This is done first to prevent the wrong black market, and then to restrict. ”

"Well, restricting people who can only enter the low-level black market have strayed into the high-level black market." Tang Ling understands such restrictions very well.

"You talk a lot, these doors have their own special access control. A badge like the one Tony gave you would never open any door except for the lowest black market in Security Zone 17 itself. The premise is that you can enter the mysterious black market hall. Su Yao seemed to be touched by something, and now he was extremely careful when explaining everything to Tang Ling.

"The second principle is that the underground roads of the various black markets can be staggered, but they must not be interconnected. This is a large and complex project, and it is common to hire engineers, one of the professions of architecture, to build and plan. ”

"It's so exciting, it's hard for me to imagine that I'm walking on the ground and there's a gray world underneath. I thought that the only people who lived underground were the people of the settlement. Tang Ling's voice gradually became quieter, he didn't mean to mention some of the past.

Su Yao patted Tang Ling on the shoulder, as if he was deliberately changing the topic, and said, "Do you know the black market hall?" A really interesting place. There, you'll make a lot of friends who you don't know who, you'll find a glimmer of hope when you're desperate, and you'll get all sorts of incredible anecdotes, after all, this world is changing every day after entering the Purple Moon Age. ”

"Also, you can see the craziest auctions."

"Shall we go to the Black Market Hall then?" Tang Ling was really interested.

"No, the black market hall doesn't open every day. In addition, you are not eligible to enter at this time. ”

"Someday, though, you'll qualify. I don't think that day is far away. Su Yao's tone was gentle, and as he spoke, he and Tang Ling had unconsciously walked through the dirt passage with a dim oil lamp on, and came to a relatively delicate passage.

This passage is not long, paved with cyan stone slabs, carved with intricate patterns on the stone slabs, with a typical pre-civilization Goddess Continent style, not so artistic, full of free and rough colors.

And in the center of the pattern is the side face of a woman wearing a veil, and I don't know what this means?

However, there is no need to guess its significance, just because at the end of this passage, you will see a huge, black gate that also carves the woman's side face, and on the gate is written in the lingua franca of Guangming State, 'Welcome to the Black Market of Lady Selena'.

So, the woman with the veil is Lady Selena?

It should be a force from the Goddess Continent, right? The name is also so straightforward.

There is no need to think about the language problem, anyway, the biggest lingua franca of Guangming Prefecture and Goddess Continent is the same language.

The door was very heavy, and Tang Ling tried to push it curiously, but was stopped by Su Yao.

"The Madame Black Market is also one of the very famous black markets. Earlier, I mentioned to you that the high-level black market can even find technologists, and the lady black market also has this ability, because the high-level I mentioned before is a vague concept. If you want to be strict and clear, you can say that the only high-level black market is the ice floe black market. Su Yao seems to have changed very thoroughly, sweeping away the previous style of being able to say clearly one word and never say two words.

It made Tang Ling a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help asking, "Then what?" Is there any direct connection with my push door? ”

"Of course, with this kind of strength of the black market, can its door be opened casually? It even hides a trap that will end badly if you touch it. As he spoke, Su Yao took out a very delicate badge from his pocket.

This badge is simply a work of art compared to the badge that Tony gave Tang Ling.

Cast in gold, rubies, diamonds and sapphires interlaced to form a special pattern, and in the center of the coat of arms, no guess, is still the veiled side face of the lady.

Su Yao pasted the badge on the black gate.

Soon, a glimmer of light flashed through the gate at a rapid speed, and the heavy-looking gate slowly opened a gap for one person to pass through on either side.

In the gap, a strong man wearing a hood but a tuxedo glanced at Su Yao and Tang Ling, and said in a low voice, "Welcome, distinguished guest." Please show your badge, as is customary, we will need to check it again. ”

Su Yao lit a cigarette and casually threw the badge in his hand to the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper took it, and after careful inspection, he returned the badge to Su Yao: "The second-class VIP badge, according to the authority, in addition to the owner of the badge himself, there are also two people who have entered the black market of Mrs. Exactly as required, please. ”

The badge confirmed Su Yao's status, and the gatekeeper spoke in a much more respectful tone, and as he spoke, he moved out of the way and made an inviting gesture.

Su Yao took Tang Ling from the gate and entered the black market of Mrs.

But Tang Ling didn't show much shock as Su Yao thought.

Although the Lady Black Market also looks so shocking, it is surprising that there is such a building underground?

It was huge, as if it had been built in a huge cave, and in the center of the cave was a huge flower bed.

On the walls of the cave on both sides of the cave, according to the pattern of flowers, inlaid with light bulbs of various colors, the whole cave is illuminated.

Under the bright lights, you can see that there are about a hundred people of different shapes walking around in this hall-like cavern.

Like Su Yao and Tang Ling, they wore black cloaks and masks.

But occasionally the mask is slightly raised, revealing the lower part of the face, which is for the convenience of eating and drinking.

Why not eat and drink? Madame Black Market prepared the best feast around the flower bed, a long table covered with white cloth, surrounded the flower bed, and rich wine and meat were placed on the table, Tang Ling even saw boxes piled up, neatly and neatly, the kind of cigarettes that Su Yao smoked.

Anything on the table is at your disposal as long as the cloaked guests wish.

But does Tang Ling need to be shocked? Can there be a more stylish and imposing trading place in the world than a mystery shop?

The key is the black market for trading? Don't worry, they are so conspicuous, just behind the flower bed, directly opposite the person after entering the gate.

The walls of the cave there have been dug into the shape of a staircase, and there are three floors in total.

There are four pavings on the first floor.

There are two paving surfaces on the second floor.

As for the top floor, there is only one shop, maybe it shouldn't be a shop? It doesn't have any signboards, except for the veiled side face of the lady carved on the door, maybe an office or something?

Tang Ling didn't care, what he cared about was another question: "Uncle, the things here are free to eat, right?" ”

"Yes, unfortunately I have no intention of letting you eat and drink here. Do you want to be exposed? With that unique appetite and appetite, you will soon be exposed to your husky boar identity. Su Yao pulled Tang Ling and almost 'hijacked' him in the direction of the shop.

But he himself stuffed packs of cigarettes into his pockets as he passed by the long tables.

Tang Ling's 'fierce' resistance, desperately took five packs of cigarettes, and casually pulled the leg of a beast that I don't know what it was.

It's not big, it's very delicate, Tang Ling lifted the mask slightly, and he stuffed it into his mouth with three times and five divided by two.

Yes, a layer of honey is applied, although it looks a little too sweet.

Su Yao resisted the urge to kill Tang Ling, and directly 'arrested' Tang Ling to the shop on the second order.

When passing by the first-order shop, Tang Ling clearly saw that the four shops were written 'Madame's daily necessities store', 'Madame's weapons shop', 'Madame's armor shop', and 'Madame's science and technology shop'.

The two shops on the second level are 'Madame's Restaurant' and 'Madame's Minerals'.

Although there are only six shops, it can be said that it is all-encompassing.

And Su Yao said to Tang Ling as he walked: "Madame's black market sells all high-quality goods, but the four shops downstairs can take out the high-quality goods, and the black market above the medium can also be taken out." I brought you to the Madame Black Market because its true specialty is that it offers high-quality meat and minerals that are easily unavailable on the Black Market. ”

As soon as he heard about high-grade meat, Tang Ling already understood that Su Yao had really brought him to the most correct place.

But Tang Ling still asked unwillingly: "What about upstairs?" ”

"Do you want to buy intelligence? Or do you have any high-level, big-money deals you'd like to talk about? ”

"I have 120,000 credits." Although he despised Yu and Auston for not having oil and water, Tang Ling still felt that he had a huge amount of money in his heart.

"Hehe, can you not be ashamed? Your little credit in Safe Zone 17 will be ridiculed if you go to the lowest black market. While speaking, Su Yao pulled Tang Ling and directly entered his wife's restaurant.

Here, there is a smell of fried meat steak, and if you look closely, it turns out that the entire huge store, the counter is designed to look like a stove, and it seems that a fat man of the owner is frying meat steak on the stove, no, the counter is frying the steak.

Tang Ling is also a person who has seen second-level and third-level fierce beast meat now, and he can see at a glance that the meat steak that the shopkeeper is frying is a piece of mutant beast meat above the third level, and the small strip of meat that looks like a decoration next to it is a genuine first-level fierce beast meat.

"Guests?" The fat shopkeeper looked very kind, and when he saw Su Yao and Tang Ling walking into the store, he quickly shoveled out the freshly fried meat chops and strips from the frying pan, cut them slightly, and put them into two plates respectively.

"Everyone who enters the store is a customer, try my craft?" As he spoke, the fat man walked towards Su Yao and Tang Ling a little out of breath.

It wasn't until he walked out of the counter that he found that his body behind the counter was much fatter than you might think.

But is it so extravagant?

No, neither Tang Ling nor Su Yao thought it was extravagant, because in this restaurant, except for the counter and a few tables like a restaurant, perhaps for guests, there were no particularly superfluous furnishings.

It doesn't need to be furnished to decorate anything, those shelves hanging from the ceiling, densely packed with neat strips of air-dried meat already speak for themselves.

Because at a glance, the sixth-level mutant beast meat is the lowest grade, and the third-level fierce beast meat is not uncommon, and even the fourth-level or fifth-level fierce beast meat whose muscles have a metallic luster can also be found in these strips of meat.

So, luxury? Such hospitality is not extravagant.

What's more, with such a posture, Tang Ling has every reason to believe that the best goods are definitely not in this open storefront, maybe it is a secret room hidden in the store? VIP room? That's what the old fox quark of the colony did anyway.

But where did quark go? Tang Ling found himself on the verge of forgetting the incident again, but luckily he could still remember the few mysterious numbers that Quark had told him at the end.

Just when Tang Ling was distracted, the fat shopkeeper had already brought the meat to Su Yao and Tang Ling, and then sat beside them with a smile on his face.

"Distinguished guests, what do you need? Tell me now, and I'll get the goods ready for you while you're having a good meal. ”

The service from the owner of the black market was awesome.

Tang Ling didn't care, Su Yao said that the credit points he brought were embarrassing, he might as well eat first, and give the rest to Su Yao.

And Su Yao quietly dialed the small fierce beast meat on Tang Ling's plate to his plate.

After all, with Tang Ling's current strength, the process of eating the meat of the fierce beast and digesting it was not so beautiful.

In this regard, Tang Ling understood that the fat shopkeeper did not pay attention to this detail, but thoughtfully handed over the two half-face masks and turned away.

Tang Ling and Su Yao changed into masks on half of their faces, and they covered them quite well, except for their chins and mouths, nothing was exposed.

Su Yao cut a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, then took out a crystal card and put it on the table.

"All the credits in this are exchanged for meat. But as long as the flesh of the beast. ”

Yes, mutant beast meat is not impossible for Tang Ling today, but the amount required is far greater than the fierce beast meat, which will cause a lot of inconvenience, and the absorption rate will be weaker than that of fierce beast meat.

Since this kid had eaten the meat of the beast luxuriously from the beginning, he tried his best to maintain it.

This is Su Yao's idea.

In the face of Su Yao's heroic actions, the fat shopkeeper did not show much surprise, but picked up Su Yao's crystal card and looked at it carefully.

"It's a bit embarrassing. This card is the Credit Supreme Card in Security Zone 17. Even if the amount in it will not be less than 1 million credits. But according to the rules, these credits cannot be exchanged for beast meat. At most, it can only be exchanged for mutant beast meat between level 7 and level 9 according to a certain matching ratio. ”

"If there is hope, I can exchange it for some beast meat. It can't exceed the third-level fierce beast meat. The fat shopkeeper's smile remained unchanged, and he would not be disappointed because Su Yao took out the credit points of the No. 17 security zone.

He didn't even show pity for him to entertain Su Yao and Tang Ling's meaty expression.

"Well, there are a total of 3.4 million credits in it, so I don't care about the fraction. I mean, I must want to trade it for beast meat. Su Yao took out his badge and placed it on the table.

The fat shopkeeper glanced at Su Yao's badge and showed a different expression for the first time.

A touch of respect, and more embarrassment.

Without waiting for the fat shopkeeper to speak, Su Yao took out two transparent round ones from his arms, like the size of a coin, with green jade inlaid in the center, and placed them on the table.

"Credits aren't going to be the only currency I'm going to pay you, so what's that?" With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Su Yao cut another piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

And the fat shopkeeper suddenly picked up the two small things that Su Yao put on the table, and his eyes, which were squeezed very small by the meat, suddenly lit up.
