The two of them walked along the long passage to the end, and saw a large underground trading market, not to mention the bustling flow of people, and there are also hotels, brothels, dance halls, restaurants and other consumption places, which means that guests will not have a problem staying in the black market even if they want to live for a few years, which is not much different from small and medium-sized cities in the interstellar market.

Wei Xiaoyao patted Li Yi on the shoulder, and then pointed to a tavern and said, "I'll wait for you there, and when you're leaving, go to the tavern to find me." ”

Li Yi nodded, his eyes completely attracted by the bustling black market exchange

In addition to the stalls in the square, there are also luxuriously decorated shops in the vicinity, which seem to have been doing business on the black market for a long time, similar to the specialty stores in other interstellar cities.

A middle-aged man with a sallow face pestered Li Yi and wanted to be a broker for him.

The so-called broker is the meaning of the middleman, taking advantage of Li Yi's unfamiliarity with this black market, making a little money, and taking Li Yi to buy something, it is estimated that he will also have some benefits.

The scale of the black market is much larger than Li Yi imagined, Li Yi thought for a while, and said to the broker: "What is this brother called?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "How old is my eldest brother, just call me Third Brother Huang, I know everything here, not only can save my little brother's time, but also help you figure out what is powerful." ”

Li Yi smiled slightly, "What can be so powerful here?" ”

Third Brother Huang waved his hand and whispered: "The most important thing in black market trading is not to step on other people's ideas, for example, you have something worth 10,000 star yuan that you want to sell, and the big players in the market want to buy it, but they are not willing to pay too high a price." At most, give a 50% discount. ”

"The 10,000 Xingyuan thing is only 5,000 for others, and he is naturally reluctant to sell things, so he will leave this store to find someone else. There will be people secretly following him, this is called bumping into the idea, other merchants look at it, this is the market peers are optimistic about the thing, even 5,000 star yuan will not be out, only 4,000. ”

"The seller didn't see what to do, so I had to go back and find the first merchant. Sell things at a very low price, but in fact, inside and out, these people set up their own sets. Suppose the little brother doesn't understand the power, and people are setting up a trap at a lower price, and you buy it as soon as you see it's cheap, and you will naturally be hated by others. Or even revenge. ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable. But how do you know that I'm not here to sell things, but to buy goods? ”

Third Brother Huang pointed to his pair of little eyes and said: "In this business, you have to have a little eyesight, little brother, look, if I stop at you, other peers will not come, this is called tacit understanding." ”

Li Yi couldn't help but clap his hands, it was really a cat with a cat road. Rats have rat paths, and it seems to be on the black market. It's really a bit troublesome to leave a broker like Huang San, no matter how powerful Coke is, it also relies on the Star Network, and the little guy in this door doesn't understand.

"So be it." Li Yi thought for a while and said, "You take me to see the boat first, if it's really like what you said, having you can help me save money and less trouble, I won't treat you badly." ”

"Okay! Look at the ship here, please. ”

The yellow face Huang Sange led the way in front, took Li Yi out of the lively square, and walked along a very wide passage, there were many people along the way, and it seemed that they were all going to the boat market.

I saw that the scale of this ship market is quite remarkable, as many as more than 500 ships of all kinds are sold here, not including shuttles, there is even a destroyer-class ship with a length of more than 200 meters, and there are many escort-level and various commercial ships.

Broker Huang Sange found a round maglev mobile car, which looked like a circular alloy plate with a diameter of two meters plus handrails, but it was actually a very efficient mobile tool.

After all, the scale of this ship market is really not small, and it will take a long time to see the market in its entirety just by walking.

Swish~

Huang Sange took Li Yi and stood on the hoverboard car and moved lightly, Huang Sange said: "I don't understand the boat, but I understand people, brother, tell me which one you like, the price is written on the hull, let's mark the price clearly." ”

There are two major systems of ships, the combat department and the commercial and civilian department, Li Yi can naturally look at the battleship, but as Coke predicted, the price of the battleship is indeed very expensive, a small frigate with a length of no more than forty meters, or a ship with an unknown number of hands, will also be priced at seven million star yuan, Li Yi frequently shook his head.

This is the cheapest warship in the entire market, and all other warships that are related to warships are all more than 10 million star dollars.

"Master, we don't have much money, or like I said, choose a cheaper industrial ship, which can carry a lot of cargo, and with a little modification, it can also carry passengers, which is more practical." Coke secretly persuaded Li Yidao.

Sighing, Li Yi said to Third Brother Huang: "Forget it, let's go and see the industrial ship, it's cheaper, and the length should not exceed twenty meters." ”

As a medium and large frigate, the Easy has a length of more than 80 meters, of which the length of the cargo hold is 23 meters, and a small cargo ship of no more than 20 meters can just be put down.

Industrial ships were designed from the ground up to transport goods over short distances, with only a small low-speed engine and no thick armor.

Battleships, on the other hand, are for cross-star voyages and for battlefield survival, and there is a fundamental difference in performance between the two.

If Li Yi buys a frigate, he can drive back to the earth by himself, and the industrial ship is not suitable for expeditions, and can only be loaded in the belly of the Xiaoyao, so the length must not exceed the limit of the Xiaoyao's cargo hold, these must be calculated.

Twenty meters in length is also the smallest in the industrial ship, there are not many options, only four ships can be considered, after listening to Coke's opinion, Li Yi selected a good tuna-type industrial ship.

This industrial ship has a wide hull that can carry more cargo, and as for the cockpit and jump engine, it can only be described as pitiful.

"Master, it's only 650,000 star yuan, we have made a lot of money! If the same second-hand ship is on the Starlink network, it will cost as much as 1.5 million, this is really a good place, cheaper than half of it! Moreover, the ship is eighty percent new! Cola said excitedly.

Li Yi nodded, although it was not his favorite battleship, but after all, this was also his first ship, with it, at least he could come and go freely in the Bristol Star Domain.

As Coke said, eighty percent of new tuna-class industrial ships, this price is really not available on Starnet.

"Tell me a name, master." Cola laughed.

Li Yi thought for a while, "The shuttle is called Discovery, and this industrial ship is called Ladybug, you see that it has a flat belly, and it looks like a ladybug." ”

……

The procurement work is intense and busy, and so far, the largest purchase is the HH7 field medical platform, which is priced at 2.2 million star dollars and can provide complex field medical services for seven soldiers at the same time.

Since there will be casualties in battles, many soldiers did not die on the spot, but died from medical delays, after all, the main battlefield is in the Americas, and the main large hospitals are located in Eurasia, half a planet away.

With this field medical platform, it is possible to provide soldiers with all-round medical services at any time, equipped on large transport aircraft, and the medical platform will follow wherever the large army goes.

It is also half the price cheaper than that on the Starlink network, and the merchant also gave away a batch of surgical supplies and high-grade drugs, and made Coke very happy, and even Li Yi began to like trading on the black market, after all, what was saved was real money.

In addition to industrial ships, medical equipment, and dark creatures detectors must also be purchased, dark creatures have cold-blooded characteristics, and often hide underground, and it is difficult for ordinary scanning systems to detect them.

As for weapons, the earth is not particularly in short supply, cola metal has already started production, and by the way, it is necessary to transport some metal catalysts back.

The day of spending money passed quickly, Huang Sange has been conscientiously accompanying Li Yi, and loading all the things he bought on the ship, ready to go, Li Yi took Huang San to find Wei Xiaoyao, busy all day, and didn't even eat a meal.

When I passed by the huge square again, I saw that a temporary platform had been set up on the square, and a fat black man with thick chest hair was shouting loudly on the stage, as if it was an auction, Li Yi took a few random glances.

"Little brother, I'll give you a piece of advice, it's best not to touch the things in this house." Third Brother Huang said in a low voice.

Li Yi didn't think much about it, and Huang San went to the tavern to find Wei Xiaoyao, the three of them asked for a table of delicious food, feasted on it, and gave him the reward that should be given to Huang San by the way, Huang San took the money, naturally thanked him again and again, and his face bloomed with happiness.

The table was next to the window, and I could just see the auction, and unlike the auctions on the earth, the black market auction was very rough, and the big fat man like the black iron tower was shouting on the stage, and the people below followed suit, which was very lively.

At first, a few girls who came from nowhere, soft and weak, kept shedding tears, and were bought by some vulgar guys who ran the black market all year round.

When a guy with saliva directly tore the girl's coat in front of everyone, stretched out a big hand full of calluses and kept kneading, Li Yi and Wei Xiaoyao frowned a little when they saw it.

After the auction of these girls, the big black man used someone to bring up an alloy chain whip, and smoked it on the stage, and said: "This is a good thing!" Blades of antiquity! I'm going to open my eyes to you today! ”

After that, the man put the whip horizontally and showed the handle of the whip in front of everyone, only to see that there was an obvious mark on the handle, which seemed to be a white crane?

Syllable!

Suddenly, Wei Xiaoyao, who had been drunk and hazy, crushed the wine glass in his hand, and his eyes burst out with a cold light, as if he was about to rush directly.

It took a lot of effort for Wei Xiaoyao to regain his composure, but he didn't drink the wine anymore, and his eyes stared straight at the alloy whip in the hand of the big black man on the stage.

Turning his head, Wei Xiaoyao said to Li Yi, "How much money do you have there?" I'd like to borrow it. (To be continued......)
