Chapter 185: There is no black market
What does the black mayor of Ceres look like, on the way all the way, Lu An has always been a little curious.
It is a market built on the wilderness like the North Pole of the moon, relying on face-to-face communication between people; Or is it like the black market in the Shanghai-Hangzhou Union on the planet, hidden in the normal human market?
When Lu An followed Su Ruyu and stood in front of the destination of the two, he finally determined.
Looking at this dome building on the Arctic Wasteland of Ceres, Lu An nodded secretly, it seems that this "Sherlock Market" is the place where the black market is hidden.
In this way, the black market in the Arctic Wasteland of Ceres is not like the black market in the Lunar Wasteland, it is a scattered and hidden organizational structure, but a way of existence like the Shanghai-Hangzhou Union City on the earth.
After all, in a sparsely populated and inaccessible place like the North Pole of the moon, perhaps a way of existence like "Bei Ye" is the normal situation; Moreover, Lu An also suspected that there might be a lot of black markets hidden in those domain markets on the moon, under the cover of those bustling markets.
Even if the moon is in the hands of the gendarmerie command, and the entire planet is shrouded in the coercion of the military, as long as you think about the "purple glory" that still survives tenaciously on the moon today, you should know that the black-clad gods of the gendarmerie are not omnipotent.
It's a pity that Lu An has been on the moon for too short, and he doesn't have the opportunity to go deep into the human gathering places on the moon and go to those domain cities to see these things, so he can only be so suspicious and not sure.
What about Ceres? On the contrary, due to the natural limitations of this planet, people are gathered in independent and closed dome buildings, and the existence of the black market can only hide in those markets, not like the black market in the lunar arctic wasteland. Because, although the north pole of the moon is barren and remote, it can meet the basic survival needs of the Manchu people, such as air and gravity.
This is not the case on Ceres, where the domes are not inaccessible at all, but off-limits to human beings, who can only walk outside in a spacesuit. However, customers can do this, and the cost of those black market operators is inevitably too great. Hanging outside in a spacesuit for a long time is not only a risk of being captured, but also a real danger to your life.
Therefore, as soon as Lu An saw the holographic projection signboard in front of the dome building, "Sherlock Market", he understood that the dome building in front of him was the market near here.
It seems that Su Ruyu's destination is here, and I don't know what the person she is looking for is doing here?
Lu An even thought regretfully, "It's a pity that this place is too far away from the earth, otherwise, if you catch a white fish in the big lake, you might be able to sell it here for tens of thousands of dollars." ”
Tens of thousands of dollars, put in the past, enough for the Lu An brothers and sisters to live for a long time.
Entering from the entrance of the "Sherlock Market", the first thing that catches Lu An's eyes is the bustling crowd in this market. The noisy and chaotic sound entered his ears, making Lu An, who had spent nearly three months on the silent asteroid, suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.
Such a lively scene gave him the illusion of returning to the earth, if there was not a gray-white dome above his head but a clear blue sky, he would definitely think that he had returned to the largest Jiangqiao market in the north district of Shanghai-Hangzhou United City.
"Is there a black market on Ceres?"
Lu An looked around with interest, but he soon realized that all his previous guesses were wrong.
"There's no hidden black market here!"
For example, on Lu An's right-hand side, there is a holographic projection signboard with transaction information written in all major common languages, which is a shop dealing in aquatic products.
On the left-hand side of Lu An, there is also a holographic projection signboard, on which transaction information is also written in major common languages, and this is a store dealing in agricultural and sideline products.
Not far ahead, in the immediate vicinity of these two stores, there is a store that does not have a holographic projection sign, and the reason why there is no signboard is because the products sold in the store are clear at a glance, and there is no need for a signboard at all.
Lu An was completely shocked after just looking at these three shops, and he immediately threw his previous guess into space.
"Am I still too young and too shallow? The previous guess was fortunately not asked, otherwise wouldn't the woman next to her laugh off her big teeth? ”
Lu An smiled bitterly and thought so.
What is this hidden black market market? This is clearly a completely undisguised black market!
Such a blatant exposure of the nature of this market at the entrance, if Lu An couldn't react again, he would really be too young and naïve.
The shop on the right has a sign that indicates the price of the seafood it handles. There was nothing wrong with this, but looking at the dense variety of aquatic products on it, anyone with a little common sense will understand the nature of this shop.
The low-key and flamboyant list is filled with all the strictly protected aquatic creatures in the human world, which is simply a list of protected creatures.
If there is a person with a ****** personality who wants to pursue excitement in life and wants to work against "stupid humans", then just follow the list of this store.
When Lu An swept over for the first time, he clearly saw that the Great Lake White Fish in the Thirteenth Region of the Earth was in the eighth row of the second column of the list, and the price marked after it was really the same as Lu An's previous imagination - 35,000 points.
And on this list of prices from low to high, 35,000 points can only be ranked in the second column, which makes the "knowledgeable" Lu An very curious, so what is the list in the tenth column?
Therefore, after scanning the three shops, Lu An immediately looked to the right.
"Tsk! What is the saying? Food, color, sex, too. Are these people willing to spend so much money just to eat? Seventy-seven million? Tut-tut! ”
The one of the seventy-seven million is the only one Lu An knows, or has seen it with his own eyes.
Kunwuyuan Ichthyosaurus, ranked ninth from the bottom of the tenth column, with a price tag of 77 million.
Lu An had seen this kind of artificially created fish with his own eyes, and it was Lin Yongping who showed them when Xia Fat Man was clamoring to open his eyes before. Of course, it's just a holographic projection of the ichthyosaur, but this is already quite rare, you must know that even the people of the Lin family rarely see the face of the ichthyosaur on weekdays, and in the eyes of people in the outside world, this is simply a mysterious creature that exists in the imagination.
"If I had known that, I should have gone when she invited me to Mars. If I could touch one of these things from Kunwu Garden, tsk, I would be able to lie on the couch and sleep well every day. Moreover, didn't she say that there are at least nearly a hundred ichthyosaurs in Kunwu Garden. If you think about it this way, the accumulation of these big families is really a bit terrifying! ”
However, although the ichthyosaurus has some special meaning in the eyes of the Chinese people, at least Lu An still knows its origin, with Lin Yonghuan by his side, these mysterious things that seem mysterious to outsiders are not too mysterious.
However, the list behind the fish dragon made Lu An a little confused, especially the name of the last one in the tenth column, which made Lu An frown.
"Mermaids? Could it be that such mythical creatures really exist in this world? And, what does it mean not to indicate the price? ”
Lu An, who has been in the black market, knows that if he does not indicate the price, it often does not mean that these things are priceless. Because there is never such a thing as a sky-high price on the black market, where is the unspeakable price for a transaction that you are willing to trade?
After all, even the names of those giants can be grandly priced, ranging from billions to tens of billions, what could be more coveted in this world than power? Power has a price, let alone anything else.
If the price is not indicated, it can only mean that these things are priceless. This store can get this "mermaid", but the price is not easy to say, you need to negotiate in person.
"It's kind of interesting to be able to serve as a façade in this unexpected black market!"
Lu An commented on the shop on the right.
He used to be considered a person in this industry, and he was quite knowledgeable, so he took a second look at this store. And although Lu An doesn't know much about the shop on the left, and he hasn't heard of many of the names on those signboards, as long as he compares it to the aquatic shop on the right, what else does he not understand? At the very least, Lu An can still understand the figures with the price indicated.
As for the store without a signboard next to the two stores, Lu An is still very young and too pure, and he doesn't dare to look at the electronic virtual goods that scratch his head.
"Hey, have you seen enough?"
Su Ruyu's voice pulled Lu An's mind back.
"Uh, hehe, it's really lively here, I didn't expect ......"
Lu An smiled, he was indeed a little surprised just now.
"You didn't scream, it was beyond my expectations." Su Ruyu glanced at him, seeming a little disappointed, before saying, "Let's go register first, let's go." ”
"Huh? Check in? ”
It was the first time Lu An had heard that he still had to register to and from the black market. Shouldn't the existence of the black market be low-key and hidden? Why is there such a thing as a registration? Does the black market here still have to register and pay taxes? Hehe!
"This kind of place can exist openly, well, it's not without a price."
As soon as Su Ruyu's words fell, Lu An saw two people turn out next to the shop where he was scratching his head. The dazzling earthy yellow military uniform makes people understand at a glance that this is not the group of fools on Ceres?
Two vigilantes with leisurely expressions appeared in a black market with a bright and bright appearance, and this delicate situation made Lu An seem to understand something.
And then the lazy shouts of the two made Lu An completely understand.
"Hey, two over there, come here and register! Come on! ”
Scold! Did it turn out to be registered with the anti-smuggling team?
At this time, if Lu An didn't understand it anymore, then he would really become a member of this planet where "stupid people" are everywhere.
The anti-smuggling team, which is known as the anti-smuggling team that exists to combat interstellar smuggling, actually operates a black market based on smuggling and selling stolen goods in his base camp, which really makes Lu An not know what to say.
Lu An didn't know much about other things, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense. But just the name in the shop on his right, the one he was most familiar with, if it wasn't smuggled stolen goods, then Lu An should have wondered if he was in a dream and hadn't woken up.
Not to mention that the Taihu Lake white fish appeared in the asteroid belt, it appeared anywhere on the earth except under the surface of Taihu Lake, and it has unmistakably become "smuggled stolen goods".
Ha! No wonder these two shops at the door are so arrogant! is so blatant, just because there is someone behind him.
However, as long as you consider the existence of anti-smuggling squads, which have never been anti-smuggling, all this is logical again.
"Sherlock Market", where is the black market? At the north pole of Ceres, there has never been a black market.
