Chapter 49: Visiting the Black Market
After the meeting was over, Fu Xin and Xie Yan found that it was already lunch time, so they went directly to the cafeteria.
Because it coincided with the soldiers' lunch break, the seats in the cafeteria were relatively full.
Seeing Fu Xin and Xie Yan holding the plates, looking for a place in the cafeteria, Master Tao's assistant You Xiaopang kindly beckoned to the two, and it happened that he was the only one on the table.
Fu Xin saw You Xiaopang's signal, pulled Xie Yan over, and smiled at You Xiaopang, "Thank you." He sat down.
Thinking of the mental power booster mentioned at the meeting just now, Fu Xin was still a little curious, so he chatted with Xie Cheng while eating: "What do you say that mental power booster is?" ”
"I don't know, it's the first time I've heard of it." Xie Yan shook his head, "But I don't think it would be a good thing for a potion that can have such an obvious effect in a short period of time." ”
"Are you talking about that psychic booster sold on the black market?" Hearing the conversation between the two, You Xiaopang asked curiously.
"Hmm!" Fu Xin nodded, "You know too?" ”
"Of course! All the soil pullers in Okujo know it. You Xiaopang said proudly, "After all, this potion is only available in Aocheng, not anywhere else, and the effect is indeed very obvious." Now that many soil pullers from other places know about it, they have also rushed to the Aocheng black market to buy it, causing the price of mental power surge agents to become higher and higher. ”
"Have you used it?" Fu Xin heard this and asked curiously.
Hearing Fu Xin's question, You Xiaopang's face fell, "No! After all, this medicine is more expensive. Generally, only the Soil Puller who participates in the competition will buy it and use it before the competition, so as to quickly improve his mental power so that he can win the competition. Who usually has the money to buy this thing. ”
After speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and quietly lowered his voice and said, "But I have also heard that there are children of the great family who have used it for a long time, and it is said that it can maintain his spiritual power at an S-level state all the time. ”
"Always maintained at the S-class!" Fu Xin and Xie Yan were surprised at the same time.
Then, Fu Xin smiled: "That's much easier than training." ”
"yes. That's why I thought I'd buy a bottle and try it out when I had the opportunity to participate in major competitions or work on important projects in the future. ”
Looking at You Xiaopang's expectant look, Fu Xin asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of side effects?" ”
"Uh......" Hearing Fu Xin's question, You Xiaopang was stunned, "It shouldn't be, so many people use it, and some people have used it many times, and they haven't found any side effects." ”
"If it's really such a good thing, why doesn't the country study and promote it!" Xie Yan pointed out the problem sharply, "Could it be that the masters of the National Spiritual Power Research Department are not as good as those researchers in Aocheng!" ”
You Xiaopang listened to Xie Yuan's words, felt that it made sense, and nodded suddenly.
Seeing this, Fu Xin asked, "Do you know where to buy mental power boosters?" ”
"Black market." You Xiaopang replied.
"I know it's a black market, where is it?"
"What, do you want to buy it?" You Xiaopang looked at Fu Xin in wonder, "Didn't you say this thing was bad just now?" ”
"We're curious, too." Fu Xin had an expression on his face that you understood, "Can you take us there?" ”
You Xiaopang looked at the two of them with a tangled face, thought for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay!" But we'll have to go quietly, and the night will pass. ”
“OK!” Fu Xin gestured, smiled and turned his head to look at Xie Yuan.
and You Xiaopang made an appointment to go to the black market together in the evening, and Fu Xin and Xie Cheng returned to the research room to continue to create a reinvention of the super mecha warrior.
In fact, in the past two days, Fu Xin and Xie Cheng have been making it, and they have already sent a lot of them to the pregnancy pool. According to the goal set by Admiral Augustine, there are now only more than eighty left.
However, since they promised Admiral Augustine to do his best, the two did not relax, and in the afternoon, two more were made and sent to the pregnancy pool.
After dinner in the evening, Fu Xin and Xie Yan went to the gate of the military base to wait for You Xiaopang as promised.
After a long while, You Xiaopang appeared and walked to the two of them with a bored expression.
"What's wrong?" Fu Xin asked when he saw this.
You Xiaopang smiled bitterly, "Master Tao is going to return to his original post for the time being, and I will go back with him, but unfortunately this project is not over." ”
"Didn't you say a temporary return? Maybe I'll be back in the future. Fu Xin comforted.
Hearing Fu Xin's words, You Xiaopang's face did not ease much.
In fact, he was worried about the same problem as the previous three masters, he was afraid that he would quit the project like this, and he would lose a heavyweight medal on his resume in the future. Although he is not named in the project as an assistant, he participates in it after all, and he can introduce it on his resume, and he can also increase his value a little.
Xie Cheng vaguely understood the rules and made a suggestion: "Why don't we apply to call you over?" ”
When You Xiaopang heard this, he looked at Xie Yan with a look of surprise: "Is it okay?" ”
"Uh......" Xie Cheng paused when he saw this, "As long as Master Tao agrees, it should be fine." ”
"Master Tao, I'll talk about it!" You Xiaopang said excitedly, looking at the two of them happily, "Thank you so much!" ”
Seeing this, Fu Xin also vaguely understood You Xiaopang's problem, and naturally agreed with Xie Yuan's suggestion, after all, they were still counting on You Xiaopang, a local, to take them to the black market to learn about the situation of mental power boosters, and it was better to keep him by his side.
You Xiaopang, who solved his personal problems, was in a good mood, and took Fu Xin and Xie Cheng straight to the black market.
Fu Xin had never been to the black market yet, and she thought that the black market would be built in a remote, dark underground place, and the vendors inside would also be weird people. When I arrived at the black market, it was an ordinary commercial street.
"This is the black market?" Fu Xin looked at the commercial street in front of him in surprise, and asked You Xiaopang uncertainly. Xie Yan next to him also looked skeptical.
"That's right!" You Xiaopang nodded calmly.
Fu Xin and Xie Yan followed behind You Xiaopang, walked all the way, and found that these shops were no different from ordinary shops, selling some everyday things, and they all expressed their deep doubts about You Xiaopang.
You Xiaopang looked at the expressions of the two, shook his head helplessly, and then led them into a shop at random.
"Boss, is there a surger?" You Xiaopang entered the store and went straight to the cash register.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he raised his head and looked at the three of them, as if he felt that the faces of the three were relatively unfamiliar, so he shook his head.
Seeing the boss's reaction, Fu Xin and Xie Yan were even more suspicious of You Xiaopang, and looked at him together.
You Xiaopang was also speechless, thinking that he was unlucky, and the first store he entered was out of stock, so he took them into the second store, and the result was the same result.
Then, the third, the fourth...... All in vain.
"Chubby, did you bring us here on the black market? It's not like the black market, just forget it, it's wrong if you don't have anything to buy. After a few attempts, Fu Xin finally couldn't hold back his patience.
"Really! I've been here with friends before, and that's how they bought it. You Xiaopang was also very depressed, obviously it was easy to see others buying, why was it so difficult for him.
He thought for a moment and said, "There is one more place. I'll take you there! ”
As he spoke, he walked briskly deeper into the alley between the two shops.
Fu Xin and Xie Yan followed him up and down the alley, walking for a while until they came to a narrow path with stalls.
Fu Xin looked at the items on the stall, they were all ordinary things, but it was a bit strange to set up a stall in such a deep alley, after all, ordinary people couldn't walk here.
You Xiaopang walked to the nearest stall and asked about the surger, but the stall owner still denied it.
Fu Xin remembered what the officer had said at the daytime meeting, and then realized that these vendors had seen them with raw faces, and they were all vigilant and did not sell to them.
Thinking that he would eventually return empty-handed, Fu Xin's face was a little dazed. However, she didn't stop You Xiaopang from asking one by one, and just followed quietly behind.
"Yes! How much do you want? Just when You Xiaopang was also losing patience, an old man vendor gave an affirmative answer.
When the three of them heard this, they looked at him in amazement.
The vendor next to the old man was also very surprised, he looked at the old man and reminded: "Old man Liu, they are all fresh faces!" Don't do it. No matter how short of money you are, you can't take any chances! ”
Hearing the vendor's reminder, the old man smiled gratefully, "It's okay, I see that these three children have clear eyes, and they don't seem to have a purpose." ”
After speaking, he turned to the three of them again, "How much do you want?" ”
Xie Yan reacted first, "How many do you have?" ”
When the old man heard this, he looked at Xie Cheng with a somewhat solemn expression. He looked at it for a while before he spoke: "I have a box of 12 sticks, the goods I just took last time." ”
Although I don't understand what the old man means by saying that he just took the goods last time, according to Fu Xin's understanding, it should be relatively fresh goods.
"How much is it?" Xie Yan then asked.
"One is 1 million, and 12 are a total of 12 million." Seeing that Xie Cheng seemed to be really going to buy it, the old man's heart was a little excited.
"Okay, I'll have it all." Xie Yan said calmly.
You Xiaopang on the side looked at Xie Cheng with a shocked face, as a soil maker, although he is still in the middle and lower reaches of the soil industry, he also has an annual salary of almost 5 million, and the salary is far beyond that of other industries. However, for the 1 million spiritual power surger, he also had to struggle for a long time before he made a move, but he didn't expect Xie Cheng to make a move, which really made him feel emotional.
At this time, it was not only You Xiaopang who was surprised, but also the old man and the vendors around him. 1 million booster This is the price of the previous store, because of the remote location of their stalls here, and most of the stall owners are due to lack of money, they take the risk to sell them temporarily, and they can't sell them for a long time, so they can only sell up to 800,000 sticks at most.
Just now, the old man also mentioned this price first, waiting for Xie Cheng to make a counteroffer, but he didn't expect Xie Cheng to agree in one bite, thinking of the 12 million that was about to arrive, he was excited.
"Good! Then you pay first, and then follow me to pick up the goods. The old man said to hold back his excitement.
After all, the mental power booster is a valuable item, and it is impossible for the vendors to carry it with them, in case it is robbed or confiscated, the gain outweighs the loss, so the general rule is that the buyer pays first, and the seller takes him to pick up the goods.
The old man received the transfer, smiled with relief, packed up the things on the stall, and left with Xie Yan and the others in the envious eyes of his peers.
"I knew that I just said that it was sold, isn't it just taking some risks, but wealth is always a risk! 12 sticks, 12 million, you may not be able to sell it for a month in this stall. Seeing them leave, the rest of the vendors regretted it.
