Su Ruyu walked back from the side of the hall with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong?"

Lu An asked with concern, thinking that something was wrong.

Su Ruyu first shook her head and refused to speak, and then scolded helplessly: "These bastards are now like sucking blood......

Lu An asked carefully and found out that the so-called "docking fee" had actually increased in price, and seeing Su Ruyu's gloomy expression, the price increase must have exceeded her expectations.

"This group of bastards is getting more and more insatiable, and they are getting stupider and stupider every year."

Of course, Su Ruyu was not only angry at the blatant robbery of the anti-smuggling team, but because she didn't bring much money out, this price increase made her suddenly embarrassed. She came to Ceres this time, not only to buy medicine for herself, but also to buy Lu An's brain and those network components.

Now the money is not enough, which makes her very sad, angry and depressed.

Therefore, on the way to the outside of the airport with Lu An, Su Ruyu pursed her lips and said nothing, which made Lu An a little helpless.

The plastic card that Su Ruyu took out from his chest just now, Lu An also searched carefully in his mind before remembering what it was.

In fact, Lu An had seen this thing before, and it was when he was on Earth, but at that time he used it was slightly more advanced than this.

However, thinking about the situation on that asteroid, Lu An was a little relieved, isn't this a normal situation?

When he was on Earth, Lu An could still travel by passenger car, as well as those old facilities such as "Ice and Fire", "Never Signal", etc., no matter how backward they were to the point of needing to be eliminated, they were all the fruits of scientific and technological civilization, and when he was on an asteroid, how did he come and go? Hike.

When he was on Earth, Lu An couldn't imagine how people would survive without the brain and the Internet; On the asteroid, he has a brain but no network, but he still lives well.

So, when Su Ruyu just started to take out the plastic card, Lu An was still very puzzled, what was that? Although he knew that it must be money, how could there be a money point that looked like that?

However, when he searched his memories to no avail, he immediately understood after a little thought.

Isn't this exactly the same as the bearer money points in those transparent chips when he was on the shore of the Great Lake!

It's just that the money points given to him by Da Lao Hei on the edge of the big lake are anonymous money points stored in transparent chips, which can be directly recharged to the personal account on the brain.

The money points in Su Ruyu's card must not be directly recharged to the brain, but Su Ruyu herself does not have a brain, so of course this is not a problem, maybe there is some information stored in the plastic card, which can be read and written, and most of those information are some anonymous money points.

Thinking about the destination that Su Ruyu said before the spacecraft landed, Lu Anxin became more and more sure that the function of the plastic card was similar to the transparent chip that he often came into contact with.

Su Ruyu said before that the destination of her and Lu An's visit to Ceres this time was the North Pole of Ceres, and at that time, Lu An thought of the situation at the North Pole of the Moon, and couldn't help but suspect that there might be some places similar to the "black market".

Now that he has compared it before and after, Lu An has more reason to believe his guess.

If it weren't for the North Pole of Ceres, the possible "black market", Su Ruyu might not have taken out a plastic card that was suspected of being an anonymous money; Being able to take out bearer money points and prepare them for trading is similar to the existence of a black market, even if it is not the so-called "black market".

Just like the black market that Lu An came into contact with through the big old black when he was on the earth, the dependence between the two is very high.

The so-called "black market" may be a dark market that cannot be seen in the literal sense, but this kind of invisible light is not necessarily the literal meaning, the meaning that cannot be seen.

Black market, underground market, illegal market, and many other seemingly similar terms are often compared by people, and in the mouth of many people, these existences or organizations are all the same, and there is no essential difference.

However, after being in the black market for a long time, Lu An can understand the subtle differences.

The black market is not necessarily all illegal transactions, and illegal transactions are not necessarily all illegal markets. Even, in the so-called illegal market, the transactions carried out may all be legitimate transactions.

The same is true of the underground market, many black markets exist openly in people's sight, but most of the underground markets are like the literal meaning of the black market, which is a shady existence.

Even the black market itself is not the same everywhere, depending on the relationship between people and things.

For example, there is a big difference between the black market in Shanghai-Hangzhou Union City, which Lu An is familiar with, and the black market in San Francisco, which he once came into contact with by mistake.

For another example, Lu An also believes that the near-ancient lunar black market that he has been in contact with will inevitably be very different from the Ceres black market that he will go to now.

So what is the black market?

In fact, it's like those black holes in the deep space of the universe, knowing that they exist, but not seeing them. The black of the black market is more like a black box, a black box, although everyone knows about its existence, no one can see the whole picture. Even those who are in it are probably ignorant of the whole outline of this existence.

Take Lu An as an example, he used to be in the black market of Shanghai-Hangzhou United City, and he was completely a part of it, but if he was asked to tell the reason for the black market, he could only be speechless.

The so-called market is just a place where people trade, or it doesn't matter if the place is just the sum of the relationship between people.

For Lu An, the black market in Shanghai-Hangzhou Union City just means that there is a man named Da Lao Hei who is willing to pay for the fish he illegally stolen. Although Lu An also knew that there must be someone else behind the big black who bought this fish, Lu An didn't need to know who it was, and he didn't care who that person was, he only cared about how much money one of his fish could be exchanged for.

From Lu An's point of view, the black market is the big old black, and the big old black is the black market.

Perhaps, for the big old black, the black market is just Lu An's fish and his boss, and the person who finally eats the white fish in the big lake has nothing to do with Lu An at all, and there is an organization called the black market between them. The man knew about the existence of the black market, but he didn't know who Lu An was; Lu An knew about the existence of the black market, but he didn't know who that person was.

The black of the black market may just be black in this kind of relationship between people. No one can know all the people who are connected to them, but only those who are closest to them.

There is only one sustenance for all the transmission of information, and that is those anonymous money points.

The goods delivered in this so-called "black market" are essentially no different from those in the "white market". It's just that the money points on the "white market" are traceable, and even the when, where, and whom, can be accurate to two decimal places of the money point, and can be accurate to the subtle time point of minutes and seconds; What about the black market? Hehe, no one knows this.

Except at both ends of the chain, the people who handle the goods do not know where their goods come from, where they are going, where they are spending their money, and where they are going.

The bearer money that flows through it is like blood flowing in the human body. No one can tell where each of their red blood cells comes from the bone marrow, but it does not prevent people from breathing and moving freely.

Therefore, Lu An became more and more convinced of his guess that the north pole of Ceres was the location of the planet's black market, and the plastic card in Su Ruyu's hand was the storage medium for anonymous money.

No, perhaps, the Arctic may not be a black market in the broad sense, or it may just be Su Ruyu's black market. She went to the north pole of Ceres in search of her own "black man in the black market".

Is this black market on Ceres as hidden and mysterious as it is on the moon? Or is it like the black market in Shanghai-Hangzhou Union on the planet, lively, crowded, and complicated?

The black market in Shanghai-Hangzhou Union City on the earth is actually a mixed place, but it is more like a real market, except that people on the black market are mixed in. For example, some transaction information on the black market is mixed with many normal transaction information, so that those who are dazzled cannot distinguish it, so that it is safely "hidden in the market".

For example, the rewards that used to interest Lu An the most were mixed with the same pile of rental information, when Lu An wanted to sell the villa left by his parents, he glanced at it, and carefully observed it for a long time before he solved those puzzle information, and he also met Da Lao Hei from this. With his help, Lu An sold the villa and moved to the vicinity of the Third Military Academy next to the big lake, and because of this, he entered the "black hole" and became a part of it.

It's a little weird, though!

Lu An shook his head, always feeling a little strange, as if he had subconsciously ignored something.

Walking out of Ceres' hub airport, Lu An looked back at the hall, "What the hell is it?" ”

"What's wrong? Why don't you go? Su Ruyu turned around and asked angrily.

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay."

Lu An smiled awkwardly, lowered his head and continued to walk forward, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

That's right! That's it.

Since Su Ruyu doesn't have a smart brain, she must have paid with that plastic card, so she will complain about the increase in the parking fee when she comes back, and her face is gloomy.

In this way, those bearer money points are being used in this airport.

Moreover, since it is the anti-smuggling team that collects the money, it shows that the anonymous money paid by Su Ruyu was given to these "insatiable fools".

Only then did Lu An understand where the strange feeling he had just come from.

It turns out that this anti-smuggling team is really not an anti-smuggling team at all! Not only did they ignore smuggling, but they even put away this kind of black money, which is similar to counterfeit money, in a bright and open manner.

Lu An turned his head to look back at the airport hall and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This anti-smuggling team is really wonderful!
