Chapter 53

After stabilizing her mind, Chen Mengmeng began to search for loot.

The spider silk sac was destroyed and lost its value, but the poison sac in the spider's body and the big turtle on the mouth were intact, and the spider legs could also be disassembled and sold for money.

This developing Zerg can bring her about 200 gold crowns, which is equivalent to 200,000 yuan. If the arachnid had been a mature and had an intact silk sac, the price would have been a staggering five million!

It's a pity that with his current unskilled skills, he is still a long way away from killing Azurite without destroying the spider silk sac.

But as long as you keep practicing, it's only a matter of time.

——

Hill Star, a temporary gathering place for humans.

It is located in the right rear of the Silstar Border Army, but it is completely separated from the Silstar Army, which ensures the safety of non-military personnel as much as possible in terms of support distance, and also avoids the instability caused by civilians to the army.

It is said that the temporary gathering place of human beings is actually more like a temporary supply base, and the people in it will not live a 9-to-5 life like the villagers in their normal habitat. Most of them rent a temporary hotel room, go to the market to buy supplies, pack their bags and go to the no-man's land to explore, and wait for ten days and half a month to run out of supplies, and then come back to repair.

So with the exception of the team that originally came here as a team, most of the people who live here are completely strangers to each other, and nodding friends don't need it, because it's likely that the person you nodded to yesterday will die tomorrow.

But there is one exception, and that is the merchant who does business on this border, and this kind of person knows everyone well.

Chen Mengmeng is now strolling around the temporary market stalls of these border merchants, and there are many people coming and going in the market, and there are many people buying things. Chen Mengmeng was thinking about what to buy, and after a week of fighting and wandering outside, many weapons and armor on the mecha needed to be maintained.

"A box of five incendiary bombs 60 silver crowns?! I remember that when I bought this before, it seemed to be only 10 silver kroner, right? ”

"A normal 5.56mm bullet for 5 silver crowns? Shouldn't it be 85 copper crowns? ”

"Five armor-piercing shells, one gold crown?!!" Chen Mengmeng couldn't stand it at all, "You guys are robbing!" Naked robbery! An armor-piercing bullet on the Star Network is only 8 silver crowns! ”

"How can the little girl speak? Starnet is cheap, you go to Starnet to buy? As a war zone, Hill Star has not joined the interstellar Internet of Things, you go and see if anyone sends you to this place where birds don't! Seeing that Chen Mengmeng didn't seem to have the intention of buying, the stall owner's originally enthusiastic face suddenly dispersed, "It's all at this price, do you like to buy it!" Don't buy it, don't get in the way of my business. ”

Chen Mengmeng was very unhappy, and really ran around and asked, sure enough, I don't know if these stall owners ventilated in private, basically at this price.

Damn it! It's also too expensive! This naked seller's market! This is a blatant monopoly on sales!

To buy or not to buy?

Chen Mengmeng fell into a deep entanglement.

Buy it, right? I always feel that I am the wronged leader. Don't buy it, right? Could it be that for the next week she killed insects with her bare hands?

Forget it, she's not Lilo.

Anyway, no matter how much flesh hurts, it's just a flesh pain, or I'll grit my teeth and buy it.

Just as Chen Mengmeng was about to succumb to the capital of all evils, a figure suddenly passed by and stuffed a small note for himself.

Love letter?

Oh, overthinking. - "I have goods cheaper, come with me!" ”

Chen Mengmeng immediately crumpled the note and quickly followed.

The figure in front left the bazaar, turned west past two small inns, walked a few dozen meters to the north, passed a tavern, and then prepared to walk in the southeast direction, seeing that the walk was becoming more and more remote.

Chen Mengmeng was suspicious, stopped her steps, turned around and wanted to leave, but was put on her shoulder by a hand!

Lunges, back falls!

"Oops!" A scream.

"I'm just going to sell something, as for this sin?!" A young man in a golden ponytail and a gray robe was lying on all fours, unable to move for a moment from the dizziness and pain caused by the fall on his back.

"Is it so sneaky to sell things?" Chen Mengmeng snorted lightly.

"I was forced too!" The young man lay on the ground and hummed, "Pull the master!" Otherwise, you don't want to buy cheap ammunition. ”

"If you dare to lie to me, you'll be finished." Chen Mengmeng shook her little fist and pulled the young man up.

"I didn't lie to you, did you see the broken hotel in front of you? You come with me to my room to trade, I can't give you the goods outside, as for the reason, we will talk while walking? The boy bared his teeth and rubbed what felt like he had broken in half.

"No, you say it first, otherwise how can I trust you, in case you have an ambush in the room?" Chen Mengmeng hugged her chest with both hands, with a suspicious expression, "I don't even know who you are, you will let me follow you into the house when you touch your mouth?"

After a "friendly" exchange, Chen Mengmeng finally understood a rough idea.

It turned out that the boy's name was Wen Renchu, and his family had been based on business for generations, and he was once the leader of the γ30 galaxy, with hundreds of billions of assets in his family.

But in the generation of Wenren's grandfather, he was not good at management, coupled with the turmoil on the border, and it quickly fell into decline in just a few hundred years. Wen Renchu's father is an embroidered pillow, in addition to spending money to enjoy, there is no money to make money, but also obsessed with gambling, in order to maintain a luxurious life, his father even secretly sold assets.

When Wen Renchu was young, he had the illusion that he thought that his family was still very rich, until one day his father was disabled by a debt collector in the casino, and Wen Renchu knew that the family was actually sold by his father only the ancestral house of the Wen family and two dilapidated storefronts with almost no business, and even the wages of the servants in the family had not been paid for several months.

As a last resort, Wen Renchu could only grit his teeth and sell the two storefronts at a low price, settle the wages, dismiss the servants, and move out of the luxurious manor with his crippled father and mother and returned to his ancestral house in the countryside.

My father has no labor, my mother's ten fingers don't touch the spring water, and she will only wash her face with tears all day long.

Before coming to Hill Star, he had a very good idea, gritted his teeth, took the rest of the money, and bought some first-aid medicine and nutrient solution to sell on this border line, because these things have a price at the border. After selling to those adventurers, they can buy their loot and resell it to buyers in the mainland. No matter how dangerous Hill Star is, as long as he stays in the temporary habitat of humans and doesn't go out, he should be fine.

However, what he didn't know was that the business on the border had long been monopolized by a few large groups and big families, even in a remote and difficult border like Hill Star, the few merchant groups that were currently dominating could have a distant relationship with the relatives and friends of the side branches of several big families if they dug deep behind them.

And newcomers like him with no background, either they have to go to no man's land to dig herbs or ores by themselves, or they have to join groups to pay them a high "stall fee", and the rest can only be squeezed out, and they can't make money at all!

This is also the reason why the prices that Chen Mengmeng just saw in the market have almost increased tenfold and hundredfold! Because the merchant groups have secretly unified prices behind the scenes, too low profits will affect these groups to charge the so-called "stall fees", which they are not allowed to appear.
