Chapter 399 News about the Black Market in the City and the Bard (6600)
Businessman Jason exclaimed: "This is...this is the egg of a light-feathered chicken!"
"Cao Xing Lord, don’t you have such a magical creature as this light-feathered chicken in your territory?”
Cao Xing nodded, “That’s right”
Currently the number one. The light-feathered chickens have begun to hatch.
Under the 24-hour holy light, these light-feathered chickens grow very quickly.
Soon, the chicken flock in your territory will expand, and you will be able to produce eggs in batches.
The look of surprise on Jace’s face became even stronger.
He said excitedly: "He is indeed Lord Cao Xing!"
"I heard that this kind of magical creature is not only extremely difficult to tame, but also very troublesome to feed."< br>
"I didn't expect that you could even get this kind of creature. It's incredible..."
"If Cao Xing is willing to sell this kind of eggs and establish long-term cooperation with our Woodpecker Chamber of Commerce."
"I make the decision in the name of the vice president, and I will definitely give you the highest purchase price on the market, how about it?"
Cao Xing smiled, "Okay, President Jace's people I still believe in it.”
“But it will take some time for large-scale transactions.”
"I will contact you after a period of time when the number of bare-feathered chickens in my territory reaches a certain scale."
The businessman replied without hesitation: "Of course, no problem!"
"Lord Cao Xing can contact me at any time whenever you need it."
Jace had a bright smile on his face.
For a businessman of his level, one or two million crowns is naturally not looked down upon.
What he values is the mid- to long-term benefits of Cao Xing's territory, as well as the development potential of this territory.
Just like Hilton, these businessmen have good business acumen and long-term vision.
The other businessman from the Moon God Chamber of Commerce that Cao Xing met before did not possess these qualities, so he has been expelled from the Moon God Chamber of Commerce.
If Jess could give himself a satisfactory price, it would be okay for them to purchase the eggs of the bare-feathered chicken in the future.
As mentioned before, if Cao Xing really gets into business, he can quickly open up the market with what he has in hand.
But doing business is not that simple.
Not only do you need to hire someone to manage it, you also need to ensure the safety of the transportation of the goods.
And also have to deal with these merchants and nobles in the city.
These things will consume a lot of Cao Xing's time and energy.
With this time, he can use it to improve his strength and gain more.
When you are strong enough, there will naturally be a lot of people begging to cooperate with you.
Cao Xing continued: "By the way, Mr. Jace, I have one more thing to trouble you with."
Jesse said happily: "Brother Cao Xing, just say it. ."
His name for Cao Xing was changed.
“It’s not a big deal, I just want to see Earl Winston. Is there any way you can do it?”
As an earl and the master of Melind City, he is naturally not something that ordinary people can just meet.
Not only do you need to have sufficient identity background, but you also need to be notified in advance, which is equivalent to making an appointment.
Obviously, none of these Cao Xings have.
However, this time I came to collect the reward.
Even if there is nothing that Jace can do, he can go directly to the Earl's Mansion.
Of course, it would save a lot of trouble if someone could make a recommendation.
After hearing this, Jess thought for a moment, and then said: "Earl Winston basically stays in his Earl's Mansion and doesn't go out much."
"However, if Cao Xing leads If you want to see him, I can help you arrange it."
After hearing this, Cao Xing said happily: "That's great, Sir Jace."
The middle-aged man said. Waving his hand, "It's just a little effort."
Having said this, he seemed to think of something, "By the way, Lord Cao Xing, you have just arrived in Melind City, and you haven't found a place to stay yet, right?"
Cao Xing nodded.
A smile appeared on the businessman's face again.
"In that case, how about you go to the Welsing Tavern for a short break?"
"It is the top three tavern in the entire Melind City, and it is also the property of our Woodpecker Chamber of Commerce."
"It's getting late now. Even if you want to see Earl Winston, you have to wait until tomorrow."
"Furthermore, our Melind City is the most famous there, no, maybe the most famous in the entire Snowstorm Field." Famous, singing is the best The bard will sing in the tavern every night."
"I don't know how many nobles spend a lot of money just to hear her sing."
Jace was talking about the bard. As a poet, his tone was full of pride.
Cao Xing didn’t refuse, as he really needed to find a place to stay.
"Then please excuse me, Mr. Jace."
"No trouble, it's just a trivial matter." Jace had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
Cao Xing is also in a good mood.
As expected, you still have to rely on connections when traveling.
No, if you know someone in Melind City, everything will be much easier.
Jace continued: "Brother Cao Xing, besides the tavern, if you are bored at night and want to find something else to do."
"I can take you to the black market in the city."< br>
“Black market? Is it what I thought?”
A look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes!
Jace smiled and nodded, "Yes, just as you thought."
"There is a black market in Melind City, where you can sell some items that cannot be sold officially."
"As long as you have money and enough eyesight, you can always buy what you like."< br>
Cao Xing also became interested.
Whether it is in games or literary works, the black market is a place with special significance.
I don’t know how many protagonists harvested treasures by picking up leaks in the black market, and then skyrocketed from there.
Of course, Cao Xing had no idea of picking up the slack.
After all, this is the real world. Who can operate in the black market where everyone is mixed up? Who is not an elite in this field?
They already know everything about the goods in their hands.
It would be too difficult to catch the leaks in their hands.
But this does not hinder, there will indeed be some good things in the black market.
Cao Xing said: "I am very interested in this black market."
A smile appeared on Jace's face again.
Through this period of time, I learned about the lords of other worlds.
As soon as they heard about the black market, they were just like hearing the news about the appearance of a peerless beauty somewhere. They tried their best to get into it one by one.
So I expected that Cao Xing would not refuse.
Businessman Jace continued: "Okay, Mr. Cao Xing, but the black market has fixed opening hours."
"It is usually open twice a month."
"You came at the right time. , Tomorrow night is the day when the underground black market opens."
"I can take you there with me then."
Cao Xing immediately replied: "Thank you."
Jace smiled and shook his head before continuing.
"Brother Cao Xing, there are still things waiting for me to deal with at the Chamber of Commerce, so I won't disturb you here."
"My attendant will take you to the Welsing Tavern. "
"Come to me tomorrow after you finish your work, and I will take you to the black market."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Go and do your work, Sir Jace."
The middle-aged man nodded, and then quickly left here with a few attendants.
Only one young man with an immature face, who looked to be in his early sixteen or seventeen years old, was left in the place.
This is the attendant Jace left to entertain them.
"Lord Cao Xing, would you like to go to the tavern now, or go there later?"
"If you want to walk around the city for a while, I can show you the way. ”
This young man has a great attitude.
For him, a person who can be valued so highly by his vice-president is naturally also a big shot.
So it makes sense for him to call you "Sir".
Cao Xing said: "No, just take us to the tavern."
"Okay."
The young man turned around and said, "Master Cao Xing, please come with me."
After saying this, he led Cao Xing and his party towards the front.
Soon, everyone passed through several streets and went straight to the center of Melind City.
At the street intersection ahead, a large building appeared.
It is at least ten meters high and divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower.
The exterior walls of the building are made of dark boulders, which are full of mass, and the spire-shaped roof is covered with black tiles.
There is also a door made of oak in front of you, which looks quite majestic.
And above the gate, there is a plaque with the five characters "Welsing Tavern" on it.
The young man next to him said: "My lord, we are here."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward and opened the oak door for them.
Cao Xing also entered.
A spacious hall suddenly appeared in front of us.
It is completely different from the bustle and bustle of other pubs, this place obviously exudes a unique atmosphere.
The guests inside all seemed very quiet, sitting at their own tables, chatting softly with their companions, or tasting the wine in their glasses alone.
The decoration inside the tavern is not an exaggerated style, on the contrary, it has a low-key sense of luxury.
Exquisite oil paintings hang on the walls, and antique chandeliers hang on the ceiling, emitting a soft light.
On the left side of the hall on the first floor, there is a small stage.
A group of well-dressed people sat around the table, seemingly waiting for something.
Those who can come here are all prominent figures in the city.
So they also maintain their own quality, showing elegance and calmness in every move.
Of course, in Cao Xing's view, these are just a group of polite scum.
You look glamorous in front of others, but behind the scenes you have more fun than anyone else.
At the same time, the young attendant said: "Sir Cao Xing, please wait here for a moment. I will go and give instructions to the staff in the tavern."
Cao Xing Nodding, "Go."
The young man left quickly.
At the same time, a beautiful figure opened the curtain behind the stage and walked out.
Someone shouted, "Miss Gwyneth is coming out."
In an instant, the entire tavern fell silent.
Everyone’s eyes were attracted by the beautiful figure on the stage, dozens of pairs of eyes staring at it.
This woman walked over. She was wearing a set of orange-blue performance clothes. The orange-red top was like a burning flame, bright and eye-catching.
Wearing a red round hat on her head, her golden hair was slightly coiled up, with a few strands of hair hanging down her cheeks.
The slender legs are also wearing two colors of pantyhose. This outfit looks a bit strange.
This is the costume worn by minstrels during performances. The bright and unique colors are to better attract passers-by.
However, no matter how unique her clothes were, they could not hide her beautiful face.
Her beauty is different from the kind of beauty that is carefully dressed, it is the kind of natural beauty.
At this moment, she gracefully came to the stage in the center of the stage, and then slowly sat down.
The right foot hooked the ankle of the left foot and began to adjust the lute in his hand.
"Zhengzheng..."
The strings made a slight vibrato.
While she was debugging, subtle discussions echoed in the tavern.
Some people are talking about this woman's appearance, and some are talking about her singing voice.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, this beautiful woman slowly spoke.
"Old scars, longing for gentle touch, lingering, regardless of the stars and destiny~"
When the first sentence was uttered, the ethereal, heavenly singing voice was like a fairy on the Tianshan Mountains. The sound came suddenly.
The dozens of people in the audience fell silent instantly.
It was as if all the sounds had disappeared, leaving only the beautiful song echoing.
“The torn heart, you mended it with love, these memories intertwined with fate, you and I paid for it together~”
“In the morning light, you escaped from the dreamland, leaving the fragrance of lilac and gooseberry~ "
"..."
In the true sound of nature, it seems that time has stopped turning and the air has frozen.
Everyone in the tavern kept their original movements, fearing that the slightest sound would disturb the woman's singing.
Pedestrians outside the tavern could not help but stop and listen.
In fact, even fifth-level Cao Xing and sixth-level Sarah could not help but be fascinated by her singing.
As the singing gets better and better.
Everyone couldn't help but have a sad expression on their faces. Her singing seemed to let everyone witness a poignant love.
Many people on the field were heard crying.
A few minutes later, the woman on the stage slowly uttered the last sentence.
"In the dream, your black hair was flying like a storm, and your violet eyes were weeping like rain..." The lute stopped playing.
Time begins to pass.
Everyone came back to their senses from the state of being hypnotized.
The civilians outside started their busy lives again.
The woman didn't say a word.
He just bent down slightly and saluted everyone.
In an instant, there was thunderous applause!
Dozens of people in the entire tavern stood up and cheered one after another.
"Ms. Gwyneth, your singing voice is so beautiful!"
"Any gorgeous words will be eclipsed by your singing voice."
"Ms. Gwyneth, please share a drink with me!"
"..."
Below, the noble children frantically expressed their admiration.
Faced with these voices, the woman on the stage just smiled slightly and bowed politely again.
At this time, Sarah next to Cao Xing said with a vigilant look: "Lord, this woman is a bit weird, she even got me into it just now."
Including Elisa She covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Wow! Elisa actually cried just now. This sister's singing voice is so amazing!"
Including Cao Xing, they also nodded, and then looked at this woman deeply. One glance.
Her panel attributes suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
[Bard: Gwyneth]
[Level: Level 23 (Level 3 elite creature)]
[Health: 14260/14260]< br>
[Attack power: 472~513]
[Skills: None]

[Talent: The sound of the heart (her voice) It can make people subconsciously calm down and listen carefully)]
[Status: Black-billed Crow's Poison (a strange toxin with unknown effects, which will occur after 27:13...)]< br>
…
…
“What a good guy, she actually has two master-level life skills!”
“Coupled with her talent for the voice of the heart, she is a woman born to sing.”< br>
Cao Xing was amazed.
You know, even a witch who has lived for hundreds of years has only one master-level skill, but she actually has two.
However, Cao Xing also noticed the information on this woman's [Status] column.
"Is it the poison of the black-billed crow? What is this?"
Cao Xing looked at this woman with a scrutinizing look.
I found that there was nothing unusual about her complexion.
Seemingly noticing Cao Xing’s gaze, the woman named Gwyneth slowly turned her head.
That beautiful face looked at him, and then smiled softly.
Before Cao Xing could react, the young attendant had already walked over with the bartender in the tavern.
The bartender's eyes instantly focused on Cao Xing and the group of wild boar warriors behind him.
With a smile on his face, he said: "Sir, I am the bartender of this tavern. I have heard about it."
"Take a look and see how many rooms are suitable for you. ?”
Cao Xing thought for a moment, and then said: "Let's arrange six rooms."
The wild boar warriors took four prisoners to live in four rooms.
Cao Xing and Sarah can live in two rooms.
The bartender said quickly: "Okay, sir, please follow me."
After saying that, he led Cao Xing and others into the second floor of the tavern.
After they left, the nobles in the tavern hall looked at Cao Xing's back with some curiosity.
“Everyone, who was that person just now? Do you know him?”
“I don’t know, but I can travel with my own soldiers, and the bartender of this tavern is so... He must be a big shot.”
“Is he a big shot from Yongshuang City?”
They all speculated on Cao Xing’s identity.
The bard on the stage didn't pay much attention to Cao Xing.
But not long after the performance, he retreated behind the stage.
…
…
“My lord, this is your room, you can arrange it as you like.”
The bartender said politely.
Cao Xing looked at the six rooms in front of him, and then ordered: "The wild boar warriors are divided into groups of three, each with a room."
"Then take turns guarding the four Guy."
After saying that, he looked at the liars whose hands and feet were tied and their mouths were gagged.
The wild boar warriors immediately said respectfully: "I obey, Lord Lord!"
After saying that, they separated into teams, then pressed the four of them into the room.
Two rooms remain.
Cao Xing said: "Sarah, Renes, Elisa, the three of you will just squeeze in for a while tonight."
There was gentleness on the faces of these three women. With smiles, they nodded one after another.
“No problem, Lord!”
After making these arrangements, everyone returned to their rooms.
Cao Xing also pushed open his room.
As a lord, he also left himself some privileges.
One person occupies a room.
After entering the tavern room, there was a faint aroma. It was not the smell of some kind of perfume, but the smell of wood.
It doesn't smell unpleasant at all.
In addition, there is also a stove burning in the room, which is enough to ensure a normal temperature.
Cao Xing saw at a glance the large wooden bed placed in the middle.
"Oh, this bed is quite big."
It just so happened that he had been traveling all day today and was a little tired.
So, Cao Xing lay down on the big bed without taking off his clothes.
I told Liu Muxue that she was safe and fell asleep directly.
Just when he thought that tonight would be over.
There was a gentle knock on the door of the hotel room.
Dong...dongdong...
"Who is it?" Cao Xing asked doubtfully.
"Lord, it's me..."
Hearing this familiar voice, Cao Xing was stunned for a moment.
"Come in."
After a moment, the room was pushed open, and a dark elf with pointed ears and a blush on his face slowly walked in.
"What's wrong Sarah?" Cao Xing asked.
The dark elf lowered his head, pressed his right arm with his left hand, and stood there awkwardly.
She whispered: "I...I'm not used to being outside. I want to come to the lord's room to rest with you..."
"But...is that okay?"
After hearing this, Cao Xing chuckled and said: "Of course, come in."
After hearing this, Sarah also had a happy smile on her face, and slipped into his quilt.
A soft and slender body lay in his arms.
Not long after the two of them lay down.
There was another knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Cao Xing asked again.
"Lord, I am Renes..."
Cao Xing was stunned, but still said: "You come in first."
At the same time, this Aska Long Archer walked in slowly.
Then she saw Sarah in Cao Xing’s arms at a glance, and was immediately surprised: “It turns out that sister Sarah is here...”
Cao Xing chuckled and said: “It’s okay, Renee. Si, come over.”
"Sarah won't mind."
At this moment, the dark elf huddled in Cao Xing's arms whispered: "Well... there are many people, warm... warmer..."
Renice There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and more shyness.
But he nodded slightly, then came to the big bed and got into the quilt.
At this moment, Renes and Sarah were lying on the left and right sides of Cao Xing, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes.
Then he felt his shoulders being held by a strong hand, and she subconsciously snuggled into his arms.
The two women lay on their sides, just able to see each other's expressions.
We gave each other a sheepish smile.
Just when Cao Xing thought that no one would come over tonight, there was another knock on the door.
Cao Xing was confused.
"Who is it again this time?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Lord, it's me..."
This voice is Elisa.
"Elissa, what's wrong with you?"
"Lord...Sister Renice and Sister Sarah didn't come back after they went out. I was a little bit alone in the room. Scared, woo woo..."
Cao Xing was speechless. This little girl could stay away from home for several days and nights in the ice and snow, and she actually said she was scared to sleep alone.
But he still said: "Then come in."
After hearing the voice outside the door, he pushed the door open and entered.
At this moment, she was wrapped in a wolf fur coat and tightly holding the long bow Cao Xing gave her in her arms. She looked a little petite and pitiful.
At this time, Elisa also noticed the two figures in the bed.
"Wow! Sister Renice and Sister Sarah are actually here!"
"I thought you..."
She seemed extremely surprised, and there was even more expression on her face. A touch of embarrassment.
It was as if he had done something bad and was found out.
"Then...I'd better go back..."
Cao Xing chuckled and said: "Don't go back, come over and squeeze in."
After hearing this, Elisa was stunned for a moment.
"Ah...can I do it too? Lord?"
Cao Xing said speechlessly: "What can I do? I won't do anything to you."
"It's so cold, come here quickly."
Little Elisa stood there, seemingly hesitant.
After some psychological struggle, I also mustered up the courage.
"Then...then I'm coming too..."
Then she carefully got into the bed and lay down next to Renes.
Fortunately, the room that the bartender arranged for Cao Xing was large enough and the bed was also very wide.
Otherwise, there really wouldn’t be room for the four of them to sleep.
At this moment, the four of them were lying quietly on the bed.
But this time, no one knocked on the door at all.
Cao Xing held a beauty in his arms on each side, and also grabbed Elisa's little hand.
I fell asleep directly.
However, for these three women, tonight should be a sleepless night...
…
…
The next day.
The system prompt sounded as the ‘Claws of Dolma’ challenge began.
Cao Xing suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking at the all-wood style building above my head, I felt a little surprised.
After all, this was the first time he woke up in a tavern in this world, and the experience was a bit subtle.
At the same time, Cao Xing straightened up.
At a glance, he saw three beautiful faces lying next to him.
