Chapter 166, Black Market

The Wasteland is another world, so if you want to get to the Wasteland, you have to go through special means - you can't get to it by airship, you can only reach it through a special portal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The portal is a special and high-end space technology, and Chen Qi doesn't know anything about it, but it doesn't prevent him from using it - when he entered and exited the Wind Thunder Earth Fire Palace in the Canglan Martial Arts Courtyard before, he also entered through the portal, so Chen Qi didn't feel unfamiliar.

These portals have a fixed teleportation location, but you don't have to worry about throwing you into an unknown corner after entering, and there are many portals leading to the wasteland Xinkang City in Baokang City, according to Min Zhiyin, in addition to the well-known portal in the adventurer's union, there is also a small portal in the city hall and the Marquis of Baokang's mansion.

However, the cost of teleporting once is really not cheap, it is enough for 50 gold coins per person - it is no wonder that many ordinary adventurers know that the wasteland is full of treasures, but they can't go there - after all, 50 gold coins is only a one-way ticket, this price is by no means affordable for ordinary adventurers.

After the rudimentary identity registration, Chen Qi went to the teleportation hall under the guidance of the staff of the Baokang City Adventurers' Union, and at the same time complained about this kind of snake-filled registration system.

According to federal regulations, anyone who goes to the wasteland through a portal needs to register with their real name, but in fact this rule is nothing more than a decoration.

As long as you have money, the staff in charge of registration will take the initiative to help you come up with a set of identity information and then register. It was as if Chen Qi secretly stuffed the staff with twenty gold coins according to Min Zhiyin's instructions, and the staff took out the information of a person with a full face and a beard named Shi Tiezhu to register, and then passed it......

And there is no so-called security check here in the portal, after all, the people who come and go are adventurers, and the murder weapon will definitely be brought, so there is no point in checking it.

This made Chen Qi can't help but think of the situation of human society before the cataclysm recorded in some books.

It is said that at that time, it was necessary to check and even search the body before taking public transportation, and if someone was found to be carrying "suspicious items", law enforcement agencies would be dispatched.

I can't say that this approach is wrong, it's just that the current federation doesn't need security checks, and there has never been any chaos - here is the Adventurers' Union, the strong are like clouds, and its strength is only better than that of the Canglan Martial Academy, and there are grandmasters at any time 24 hours a day, who dares to be presumptuous here?!

"Do you need a special watch?" the staff whispered while bringing the display utensils over: "The time in the wasteland is different from ours, and newcomers are easy to get lost in the past." There's the equivalent of 33 hours a day in our time, and it's easy to confuse the time when you're there. I have a mechanical watch here that calculates the time in the Wasteland, which is sturdy and durable, and can compare the time difference between the Wasteland and here. 1 gold coin, do you need it?"

Chen Qi threw him a gold coin, and the staff member hurriedly smiled and took out a mechanical watch from his pocket that was still wearing packaging and handed it to him, saying, "The cosmic energy in the wasteland is much higher than ours here, unless it is some special electronic components, many of our electronic products here cannot be used in the wasteland." Therefore, this purely handmade mechanical watch is the most reliable. And this kind of mechanical watch has been set according to the cycle of the wasteland, you wear it on your body, it will be automatically wound when you walk, and 1 gold coin is really not expensive. ā€

Chen Qi took this watch into his hand and looked at it, and the dial on it was also 12 scales, but the speed of the hands was obviously much slower. There is a subdial in the center of the dial, and the speed of the hour hand on it is normal, which corresponds to the current time in the federal world.

The staff patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, we all work here, and the sales can't be of bad quality, otherwise you won't trouble us when you come back from the wasteland!"

Chen Qi smiled, he knew that these local snakes actually knew the situation best, so he threw another gold coin over and said, "Take out any other good things, as long as they are useful, you don't have to worry about money!"

"Ouch!" The staff was overjoyed, and hurriedly invited Chen Qi to a VIP waiting room next to him, made a cup of tea for Chen Qi to wait, and then brought back a lot of things.

There are maps, medicines, guides written by adventurers in the wilderness, flints, condoms, etc., and it is impossible to say that there is any great use, but they are basically easy to carry and can really come in handy.

Chen Qi made a bold move and gave ten gold coins to take down all these things, and the staff couldn't keep their mouths shut.

Sure enough, the staff then began to introduce some precautions in Xinkang City to Chen Qi, such as which store has expensive and black things, and which store is too ruthless when buying things...... These materials did not have any effect on Chen Qi, but he still listened patiently, until the end, the staff lowered their voices and told him sneakily:

"There's a very interesting place in Cannes called the Wanderers Bar. It's not the upper level of the bar, it's just dealing with some ordinary adventurers who have no way out, but it's on the lower level. The code is that you ask the bartender for a 'Fire Queen', and the bartender will say that they don't have this kind of wine there, and then you give him a gold coin and tell him that he must drink it. The bartender takes the money but will be embarrassed to tell you that their bartender can't mix, so you say that you will teach their bartender how to mix. This way, the bartender will take you down the door to the ground. ā€

"Oh?" Chen Qi finally got the news of interest, and said, "Is there any mystery in the basement of this wanderer's bar?"

"There's a black market...... bartender lowered his voice, "before you go down, the bartender will give you a black cloak to change into and completely cover your head and face." It's full of people like that, and there are all kinds of channels for news, as well as all kinds of underground missions and deals. Everything is anonymous, no one knows who you are, and you don't know who they are. There are many news that the Adventurer's Guild can't find out about, and you can buy a lot of good goods that the Adventurer's Guild can't buy. And, if you have something good to sell, you can sell it there. ā€

"Interesting. Chen Qi asked for this news, rewarded the staff with two gold coins, and then went to the portal.

Before he came, Min Zhiyin told him that the most mysterious place in Xinkang City is the underground black market there, because the establishment of Xinkang City is too expensive, so the taxes levied are also very high - the federal tax exemption does not need to be handed over to the federation, but the major families have established the city, and these adventurers who go to the wasteland plan to draw a lot of money, so the black market came into being.

Later, many things that were openly forbidden by the Federation, or some things that came from improper sources, would circulate in the black market.

As a result, gradually, there were more types of goods on the black market than in the adventurers' unions.

However, there are many people who sell garbage as treasures, and it depends on their own eyesight - in the black market, as long as the goods are sold, the buyer is not responsible, which is also a traditional rule.

Chen Qi naturally has his purpose in looking for the black market, firstly, he wants to see if he can gain something in the black market-not to mention anything else, the materials of several medicines recorded in the palace of the Wind Thunder Zongdan King are not available in the Federation, and he is not good at finding them through the Canglan Martial Academy, so he has to take advantage of this opportunity to come to the wasteland to see if there is a way to find it.

Under the leadership of the staff, Chen Qi came to a huge door of light.

Different from the colorful aperture in the Diyuan Pavilion of the Canglan Martial Academy, the light gate here is fixed with a door frame all around, not only is the color pure white, but the area of the light gate is also more than ten times larger than the one in the Canglan Martial Academy.

After the staff helped Chen Qi go through the formalities, he said with a smile: "Sir, I can only bring you here, every time an object passes through the space-time gate, it will consume some energy." So we can't blame us for being expensive, and there's no way around it. Even those of us who work together can't go back and forth between the two worlds at will. ā€

Chen Qi nodded, took a deep breath, and walked into the light gate.

Taking one step, Chen Qi felt that the foot that stepped out was obviously a little strained.

According to some of the things that Min Zhiyin told before, the gravity of the wasteland is 1.2 times that of the Federation World, and a few areas will only be higher.

However, 1.2 times the gravity is nothing for Chen Qi's current strength, he quickly adjusted, and the whole person passed through the light gate, although the scenery in front of him is still an artificially built hall, but the energy contained in the air is obviously much higher than that of the Federation World!

The exit still needs to be registered, Chen Qi handed over the information prepared by the staff for him before, and the people at the exit didn't even look at Chen Qi, so they directly stamped on it.

This made Chen Qi angry and funny.

He didn't like the non-compliance with the rules, but now he was playing the role of the non-compliance and the beneficiary of this practice, so he didn't know what to say.

This place of the Adventurer's Guild is obviously a little dilapidated, many of them have just been repaired, and some of the bloody breath can even be sensed in some corners.

Thinking that this was the beast tide that happened before, Chen Qi sighed in his heart.

A few bear children caused a city to be robbed, and they deserved to be cut by a thousand knives!

After stepping out of the Adventurers' Guild, it was even more of a mess.

There are crumbling buildings everywhere, and if it weren't for the many adventurers coming and going on the streets, bringing the ruined city back to life, it would have been almost a dead city.

He looked up and felt that the sky here seemed to be much higher than that of the Federation Continent, and he didn't know how this feeling came from.

However, the air here is really fresh, Chen Qi took a deep breath, and only felt refreshed and comfortable.

Breathing out the turbid breath from the Federation Continent in his chest, Chen Qi raised his head and said silently in his heart: "Wasteland, I'm here!" (To be continued.) )
