Chapter 101: The Black Market, a Strange Intelligence Dealer
The black market in Shanhai City, located in the west of the cultural market, is on the basement level.
On the surface, this is a place to sell some second-hand life cards, inferior card-making materials, etc., but in fact, it is the largest underground trading market in Shanhai City, and you can find many things that cannot be found in the regular market.
Because it is a black market, the people here are also mixed, doing everything, and there are not a few people who are unwilling to reveal their identities.
Therefore, there are many people like Xia Chen who wrap themselves tightly, and they will not attract any attention, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.
It's twelve o'clock, and it's time for lunch, and the owners of the shops have brought out their own meals, and some are ordered takeaways, and the smell of rice wafts through the market.
At this moment, in the ventilation duct of the black market public toilet, a burst of smoke slowly drifted down, and a pair of huge snake eyes flashed in the smoke, condensing into the appearance of a human figure.
That's right, this person is Xia Chen, he blinded Luo Daoyan's perception of himself through the influence of the Heavenly Court Seal, and then used the [Beetle Snake] to hide his body and sneak out.
Tonight is about to act, so he naturally has to race against time to get information and prepare in advance to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
After tidying up his clothes in the mirror of the toilet, and checking the voice changing card again, after confirming that there was no problem, Xia Chen walked out of the toilet.
Since he needs intelligence, he naturally wants to find an intelligence dealer, but those two guys last time will definitely not be able to use it, and he has to find a new one.
In this black market, the intelligence industry is considered to have a vast market, not only for hunters, but also for all kinds of buying and selling businesses.
Therefore, there are not many people who do intelligence business, but they are also mixed, and it is not easy to find reliable ones.
For this, Xia Chen has his own methods, he has not been in vain for half a year, and naturally has his own set.
I saw that he looked left and right a little, found a direction, and then walked straight into a fixture shop, knocking his knuckles on the glass counter.
Knock knock!
"Boss, buy some fixtures, it's expensive." His voice became deep and hoarse through the conversion of the voice changing card.
“……”
The thin man who was sitting behind the counter to eat glanced up at him, looked up and down for a moment, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks and smiled flatteringly.
"Hey, buy a fixture, right, what kind of one? I have quite a wide range of categories here. The boss rubbed his palms.
"Blank card, the top one, give more, I'll choose it." Xia Chen replied without hesitation.
"Hehe, I see, yes, yes, you wait!" As he spoke, the boss pulled out a few identical empty cards from under the drawer.
"This one is from shop No. 106, this one is from shop No. 073, this one ...... It's from shop No. 189, and it's all top-notch goods! ”
"Number 189?"
Xia Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then asked, "New here?" ”
"Yes, it hasn't been long since I came, but the goods are really good, and I don't have to say anything about the quality!" The boss replied with a smile.
"Okay, then number 189, how much?" When Xia Chen heard this, he thought for a moment before making a choice.
Because he didn't have a choice, and the other two were no longer trustworthy to him, he had to choose this newcomer.
That's right, the exchange between Xia Chen and this boss just now is the "black talk" in this black market, after all, this is not a regular business, and it still has to be concealed.
The card shop on the basement floor is an "intermediary store" that only people who know how to know, and different card shops represent different businesses.
For example, if you want to find human resources such as killers and thugs, you can say that you want to buy "carving knives"; If you want to find scarce resources, you can say that you want to buy "card liquid......
As for the "blank card", it naturally represents the resources of intelligence, as long as you add a sentence "expensive", the boss will naturally be able to understand.
"Hehe, Chenghui is two thousand, bring this card over, you can get a twenty percent discount over there." The boss said, smiling and signing his name on the blank card.
Xia Chen took the card, and then took out the cash from his pocket, and used cash if he could still use it in the black market to prevent his identity from being exposed.
"Walk slowly!"
After walking out of the store, Xia Chen followed the path pointed out by the shopkeeper, shuttled all the way, and walked into a dimly lit passage.
There are also large and small shops on the left and right sides of this passage, but the doors are hung with impermeable black cloths, and only the plaques on the doors inform customers that they are open.
This passage, known as the "Deep Alley" in this black market, belongs to the black market in the black market, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get the shops in it.
But anyone who can open a store in this must have their own skills, and they are not small, such as the shops of the two intelligence dealers that Xia Chen cooperated with before are also among them.
According to the number on the door of the store, Xia Chen quickly came to the depths of the passage, and near the end, he saw the words "No. 189".
However, when he stood still at the door, he did not rush in, but took out two purple cards and held them in his hand in case of accidents.
The reason why he is so cautious is because "No. 189" has only appeared recently, more precisely, after he killed Luo Lao Er.
I have to say that this is a very sensitive time period, and it is precisely because of this that he has to guard against it.
Now that the "Yama" is being rewarded at a high price, and the hunters from the surrounding cities have also entered Shanhai City, it is conceivable that they are using various methods to inquire about their whereabouts.
On the black market, most people know that he has an affair with two other top intelligence dealers, and if he needs information, he will definitely not go to them.
In this way, it is inevitable that some people will make a fuss about this, pretending to be intelligence dealers to sneak around the black market and wait for themselves to come to the door, and these hunters have definitely done it.
But Xia Chen really needs information now, and as long as he doesn't expose himself, it is difficult for others to know that he is "Yama", so he chose "No. 189" without fear.
"The new top intelligence dealer...... Hehe, let me see if the water in the black market has become deeper again. ”
Xia Chen thought in his heart, so he lifted the black cloth and walked into the store, and then saw a tall man in his thirties, sitting behind the counter.
Although he is only in his thirties, this man's face looks very vicissitudes, and he doesn't know what he has experienced......
On his face, there was a long, narrow scar that stretched from the corner of his left eye to the corner of his right mouth, which was supposed to have been wounded by a sharp blade.
"This guy...... It's really not like an ordinary intelligence monger, I'm afraid there is a real problem. Under the mask, Xia Chen's eyes narrowed.
Generally speaking, normal intelligence dealers are very desperate for their lives, and they are also very sleek in dealing with people, but they don't feel it at all in this person, but they reveal a cold and sharp meaning.
This guy ......
Maybe it's a hunter!
This is Xia Chen's first judgment, and he feels that most of them are inseparable.
But he also had doubts in his heart, that is......
This guy is too obvious, isn't it?
Didn't he come for his bounty?
Just as Xia Chen's mind was racing, the man raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
"What do you want?"
Simple and straightforward, it was obvious that the man had already seen that Xia Chen was here to buy intelligence.
"I need information, about Qin Ming, the youngest son of the Qin family, I want to know where he will be tonight." Xia Chen came back to his senses and handed over the blank card given by the intermediary.
"Yes, the intelligence fee is one million, no bargaining." The man quoted the price without thinking about it, and the information about the first family in Shanhai City, this fee was very reasonable.
"Money is not a problem, but I can only pay a deposit first, and only after I confirm the authenticity of the information can I make up the money." Xia Chen said cautiously.
"That's okay, in this case, I can only reveal a little bit of information to you first, and then I can give it all to you when the money is collected." The man responded without concessions.
“……”
Hearing this, Xia Chen was silent for a moment, and the doubts in his heart were slightly reduced, at least on the surface, this guy was indeed in business.
And he just deliberately said something like a foreign thing as a temptation, and he also achieved his goal, at this time, he was pretending to think, and he looked like he was very inward-looking.
Half-night......
"Okay, okay, but make sure your information is true." Xia Chen "gritted his teeth" and said.
"Of course, you can go to the market and inquire, and none of the information that comes out of me is problematic." The man glanced at him, his voice low.
"In that case, when will I get the information?" Xia Chen nodded and asked again.
"Wait a minute."
The man got up, pulled out his phone, and walked into the door behind the counter, as if he was going to call someone.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Chen began to turn his head to look at this shop, which was an old card store, and all kinds of life cards were placed under the counter.
And from the appearance of these cards, it doesn't seem to be second-hand, but brand new, which is not common in this black market shop.
This man is a card master......
There is no doubt about it.
Xia Chen also has reason to believe that these cards are all made by himself.
This can't help but make him guess the identity of the man, as a card master, he is selling intelligence here, and he is really selling, which is really a little incomprehensible.
"This guy is really weird......"
He couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart, and felt a little unbelievable.
But after thinking about it, he felt that this person was like the kind of card master who retired from the card division group due to injury, and he was extremely well-connected, and he ate black and white, which also made sense.
Anyway, he could be sure that his identity was not revealed, because just now, he asked Chen Xingyao to help him look at the stars through the communication card.
The astrological signs show that everything is normal on his side, and there is nothing bad about it, but on the contrary, there is a hidden blessing in it.
At this moment, Xia Chen couldn't help but sigh that it was really lucky to have such a general as Chen Xingyao under his hands.
Like this kind of unpredictable prophetic ability, it can play a huge role at any time, and with Chen Xingyao here, it is almost impossible for him to make any mistakes.
After a few moments, the man seemed to finish the call, pushed the door again, and placed a note on the counter.
"When the information is done, write it on this piece of paper, and when you finish paying, the note will be yours."
The man said, sitting down behind the counter again, and at the same time releasing a spiritual force to lock the note, in case Xia Chen did not pay for it.
Feeling the spiritual power released by the man, Xia Chen's eyes narrowed again, and he found that this guy's strength was really not low, at least it had reached the level of an expert.
Originally, it stands to reason that with Xia Chen's strength as a high-grade nine-star, it is impossible to perceive a card master level higher than his own.
But he is in the position of the Emperor of Heaven and has the personality of the Emperor of Heaven, which is still unusual in this regard, and at present, as long as the opponent's level does not exceed the master level, he can sense it.
"Row ......"
In the next second, Xia Chen nodded, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and then he took out his mobile phone and scanned the payment code on the table and started to transfer.
At the same time, he was even more curious about the identity of this man, as an expert-level card master, his mental power was not as weak as Luo Daoyan before, what drove this person to come to sell intelligence?
Soon, one million was transferred directly from the encrypted account of "Yama", which was an exclusive account provided by the Hunter Union, and no one could trace this account except for the Hunter himself and the senior management of the Hunter Union.
After paying the money, Xia Chen immediately reached out and picked up the note, unfolded it and glanced at it, and his heart suddenly understood.
According to the information on the note, at eight o'clock tonight, Qin Ming will go to the "Baihan Casino" in the north on time to participate in a high-level gambling game.
This is indeed in line with Qin Ming's urine, this guy is a gambler who is addicted to gambling, and his favorite thing is to participate in various gambling games, which is a well-known thing in Shanhai City.
"If there is a problem with the intelligence, you can come to me at any time, and I can return the money to you when the time comes, I have always been here." At this time, the man said suddenly.
"But I want to warn you first, every piece of information I sell is authentic, and I will confirm it myself after the fact, so don't think about getting the money back by lying, it's impossible."
"You can rest assured at this point, I'm not that kind of person, I just need real information." Xia Chen nodded to show that he understood.
"Then since the transaction is completed, I will leave first, if your information this time is okay, then I will continue to support you in the future if necessary."
Now that he has got what he wants, Xia Chen is ready to go back quickly, and now that it is still early, he can make some preparations in advance.
"Well, walk slowly."
The man just responded in a low voice, with no sadness or joy on his face, but he was very calm.
“……”
Before leaving, Xia Chen glanced at the man deeply, and I have to say that he is really interested in this guy.
But now was not the time to get to the bottom of it, so he quickly turned around, lifted the black cloth and left......
