Chapter 28: The Black Market and Auctions

After ordering, Xu Anping stopped the shopkeeper who was about to retire, slapped a piece of broken silver on the table, and said indifferently:

"Xiao Er, I'll inquire about something, if you can provide some useful information, these two pieces of silver will be yours."

The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a bright smile: "Guest officer, please say, the little one must know everything." ”

In this world, the purchasing power of silver is quite strong, one tael of silver is equal to a thousand copper plates, and one copper plate can buy a fresh large meat bag.

Using the price of Xu Anping's previous life, a copper plate is equivalent to about one dollar, and a tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand yuan.

The broken silver in Xu Anping's hand, although it looks like it is only about half a tael, but for the shopkeeper, it is already half a month's salary.

Just ask a few words, and you can get half a month's salary, which is really a good deal.

"I want to buy a book of exercises cheats, what are the general channels?"

"Exercise Cheats ......"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment, and then said: "In several big cities nearby, there are black markets, and there are often people who sell all kinds of items of unknown origin, including many cheats on exercises or martial arts. ”

"Also, in Danfeng City, there is a relatively large auction house, they hold an auction every month, and each time they will auction some precious things, and sometimes there are cheats in it."

"It's just that the goods in the auction are usually relatively high, and if you want to participate, you have to pay a deposit, so if you don't have enough silver, it's hard to get a profit in the auction."

"The black market is much cheaper, but the black market is also very problematic."

"First of all, the origin of the goods in the black market is unknown, and no one can determine whether they are true or fake, especially for goods like cheats, no one knows whether they are really valid, or whether the content has been tampered with, and it all depends on luck if you want to buy real cheats."

"Secondly, there are many fish and dragons in the black market, and once you reveal your wealth, you are likely to be secretly targeted by a group of people, and even if you buy good things, it is difficult to leave safely."

Xu Anping nodded thoughtfully.

Auctions and the black market can buy cheats, but the former is more formal and more likely to buy good things, but the price is very expensive, and the latter is better than the price, but whether it is the authenticity of the goods or personal safety, there is no guarantee.

There are pros and cons to both purchase channels.

In simple terms.

If you have money, go to the auction and feel more at ease.

If you don't have money, you can only try your luck on the black market.

Of course, his current net worth is only a dozen taels of silver looted from the bandit leader, and he must not be able to find anything good in this so-called relatively cheap black market.

You still have to find a way to make money.

From this point of view, there is no way to get the new exercises in a short period of time.

Xu Anping thought in his heart, and casually threw the broken silver on the table into the arms of the shopkeeper, and after the latter took it, he immediately bowed down with joy on his face.

With a wave of his hand, he asked the shopkeeper to step down, Xu Anping had a leisurely dinner, and then took a brief stroll around Lixiang Town.

The area of Lixiang Town is not large, and there are only two or three inns, Xu Anping inquired casually, and found the inn where the Xuanyue Commercial Bank team lived, and met Luo Tianle and others.

"Great, it's good that you come back safely."

"Just now we were still discussing whether we should wait here for a day tomorrow, or go to the mountains to search for your traces, but fortunately you are back."

"By the way, you didn't get hurt, did you?"

After several people welcomed Xu Anping into a spacious room, they enthusiastically expressed their concern.

After all, Xu Anping broke the game and helped everyone, whether they really cared in their hearts or not, at least they had to show appropriate gratitude.

Xu Anping responded one by one, and then took the initiative to talk about what happened after chasing into the forest.

"After I chased the bandit leader all the way into the forest, I suddenly reacted, with my own strength, even if I caught up with the other party, I am afraid that I will not be able to help him, so I am ready to return the same way."

"But who knows, because I chased too deep and didn't pay attention to the route along the way, I got lost in the forest, and I couldn't find the original way for a while, so I could only walk out of the mountains from the other direction, but fortunately I met other passers-by, and after asking the direction of Lixiang Town, I hurried over."

Deacon Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Senior Brother Xu is fine, the leader of the bandits ran away, anyway, it didn't cause us much loss, there is no need to chase after it."

"Now that everyone is here, we can leave tomorrow with peace of mind."

"By the way, tomorrow morning we will pass through the area of Green Willow Mountain, where there may be bandits, everyone has to recuperate tonight, so let's rest early."

After chatting for a while, they dispersed.

Not long after Xu Anping entered the room, he heard a soft knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was Luo Tianle who had just been separated for a while standing outside the door.

"What's wrong?"

"Would you like to go in and talk?"

Luo Tianle said in a low voice.

Xu Anping let go of his body, and after Luo Tianle came in, he closed the door.

The two sat down on either side of the table.

"It's so late, what's the matter with me?" Xu Anping asked straight to the point.

"About the ...... of the Battle in the Afternoon"

Luo Tianle stared at Xu Anping with burning eyes, and asked seriously, "I have some questions for you." ”

"You can quickly break through the siege of the four bandits, and kill each other, and you can also deal with the bandit leader for a while, this kind of performance is really not simple."

"I have fought against the bandit leader for dozens of moves, and I am very clear about his strength, it is impossible for an ordinary formal disciple to block him in three moves and two moves, but you, have been supporting him for a while."

"So, you've been hiding your strength before, right?"

"Hidden strength?"

Xu Anping shook his head with a complacent expression.

"Everyone knows that the better the performance, the better the treatment within the sect, and the better the resources that can be enjoyed."

"What's more, who doesn't want to enjoy the admiring gaze of others? Or find an elder like you to be a teacher, whose status is completely different from that of ordinary disciples, and who is respected wherever he goes. ”

"I really can't figure out what reason I have to hide my strength and talent."

He shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently:

"In that battle, the reason why I suddenly burst out with such strength was mainly because I had an idea, I had more understanding of the Sancai swordsmanship, and I killed a bandit by surprise, so that their siege had a loophole, and then I had a chance to break the game."

"If I do it again, I'm not sure I'll break the siege of four people again."

"As for the bandit leader, I knew that my strength was not as good as his as soon as I looked at his size, so I kept relying on my body to move around, and I didn't fight him, so that I could support him for a while."
