Chapter 314 Items on the Black Market
Liang Yuan remained calm and walked towards the building with Tu Long and others.
He became interested in the so-called black market here in Sunshine New City.
Human beings have a strong ability to survive.
Even if a huge flood submerges the earth's surface, they will still find various ways to survive.
Compared with other species, humans have a strong advantage.
That is wisdom.
Wisdom gives humans unparalleled creativity.
Even in this flood, they were able to create something eye-catching.
A group of people walked along the plastic platform and into the stairs of the building.
On the other side of the stairs, there were also several strong men standing.
Looking at their vitality and aura, Liang Yuan was keenly aware that these people should be people with super powers.
He was slightly surprised that this small black market could actually allow a few superpowers to guard the door. It seemed that there were quite a few superpowers in Building 87.
The gatekeepers looked at Liang Yuan and the others with superpowers, and seemed to notice that Liang Yuan and the others looked unfamiliar, so they couldn't help but squint their eyes.
One of them suddenly flicked his cigarette butt, and the cigarette butt drew an arc and immediately landed in front of the leader, Liang Yuan.
The sparks from the cigarette butt flew away, Liang Yuan paused, and calmly turned to look at the other person.
The man who threw the cigarette butt was in his thirties, with a shaved head and a beard sticking to his lips. He looked a bit fierce.
He smiled and asked: "New here? I haven't seen you before."
Liang Yuan looked calmly and nodded: "Yes, new here."
"Which building is it?" the middle-aged man looked at it and asked lightly.
Liang Yuan frowned and said, "The man outside has already asked."
"Bah, I'm fucking asking you." The middle-aged man spat immediately and stared at Liang Yuan with a sneer.
Liang Yuan narrowed his eyes and showed a hint of sneer, and his mental power was slightly released in his eyes.
In an instant, an invisible pressure enveloped him.
The expressions of the middle-aged man and the people behind him suddenly changed slightly, and they subconsciously took out daggers and other weapons.
Tu Long immediately said in a deep voice: "Why, you no longer operate a black market but a black shop?"
The eyes of the middle-aged man and the people behind him suddenly flickered.
Then I saw several outsiders walking in from outside.
They calmly took back their weapons, and the middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Just ask, let's go in."
He waved his hand, as if the tense situation just now was an illusion.
Liang Yuan ignored these minions and walked directly upstairs.
Wang Xiaoya, Chang Yan, and Ni Qi followed, while Tu Long walked at the back.
"Brother Wen, these new faces are a bit awkward." A young man whispered to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man sneered: "Go and ask Wu Laosan outside to see which building these people belong to and what kind of goods they bring."
"I know, Brother Wen."
The younger brother ran out in a hurry, and after a while, he came back and said quickly: "Brother Wen, I asked Wu Laosan that these people are from Building 21 and they brought instant noodles."
As he said that, he took out the instant noodles from his arms and said, "Wu Laosan got this from a commission. These newcomers don't know the rules and don't know that the commission was given upstairs."
Brother Wen took the instant noodles and asked doubtfully: "Building 21? How do I remember the name of the boss in Building 21, Brother Yu? He is a spiritual master. That person just now was Brother Yu? He doesn't seem to look like him."
Several other people also shook their heads. There were not many people coming and going in Sunshine New City. They could probably remember the names of the bosses in other buildings, but they didn't quite know what they looked like.
After all, those people don’t come every day.
The younger brother said: "Maybe there was civil unrest in Building 21, and Brother Yu is dead."
"This guy is very powerful. I'm afraid he could kill the boss of Building 21, so I'm here for the first time."
Several people were discussing this, and Liang Yuan and others had already arrived on the second floor.
It's said to be the second floor, but that's relative to the flood level. In fact, it's already the twenty-third floor.
When they got upstairs, someone stopped Liang Yuan and the others again.
"What to trade?"
The person who stopped Liang Yuan was a young man, about thirty years old, wearing a baseball cap.
Liang Yuan asked: "Can I go shopping?"
The young man in the baseball cap sneered: "Yes, you can, but you have to collect the commission first."
Tu Long couldn't help but said: "A commission? Didn't you just collect it when the boat was parked downstairs?"
When the young man in the baseball cap heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
It seems that some new idiots were deceived by Wu Laosan downstairs.
He said calmly: "I don't care about the things downstairs. If I want to trade here, I have to take a commission first."
Tu Long's heart welled up with anger. These people were really evil.
Liang Yuan calmly said: "How to calculate the commission?"
"According to the goods you bring, we will take 20% of them."
Liang Yuan took out instant noodles and said, "There are only four packs left."
"Then give me a pack." The young man in the baseball cap said calmly.
Liang Yuan didn't talk nonsense to him and threw him a bag.
This surprised the young man in the baseball cap. He thought this group of people would cause trouble, but he didn't expect them to be quite well-behaved.
He then stepped aside and said: "My floor is a human trade. In every room, there are various types of beauties. You can play with them first, and then trade them if you think they are suitable."
"If you want to be younger, go upstairs. Both men and women are available."
"On the third floor are food and drink, and above the fourth floor are materials for mutant creatures, weapons and the like."
After baseball cap finished speaking, he sat back on the chair and ignored Liang Yuan and the others.
Liang Yuan's heart moved slightly. He had already expected the population and food trade.
But I didn't expect that there would be trading of mutant materials and weapons above the fourth floor.
He asked: "How do women trade?"
"Look at the quality. The younger you are, the more expensive it is. If you are twenty to thirty years old, you can take away one of these instant noodles."
"For those over sixteen and under twenty, the price is twice as high."
"Those under sixteen are four times taller."
"What about weapons and materials?" Liang Yuan asked.
The young man in the baseball cap said: "Then you go upstairs and ask, usually you can only exchange things for things."
Liang Yuan said immediately: "Let's go take a look at the mutant materials and weapons first."
He took Tu Long and the others directly upstairs.
Wang Xiaoya gritted her teeth and said: "They are indeed doing human trafficking."
Chang Yan also felt humiliated in her heart and said: "In their eyes, an adult woman only needs four packs of instant noodles! These beasts!"
Ni Qi couldn't help but said: "Mr. Liang, what should we do, just let these beasts go?"
Liang Yuan didn't say anything. Tu Long patted Ni Qi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, let's understand the situation here and settle the accounts later."
Ni Qi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued upstairs with Liang Yuan.
He didn't stop on the second and third floors and went directly to the fourth floor.
There are people with superpowers guarding the floors, and there should also be people with superpowers sitting in each room.
When Liang Yuan came to the fourth floor, he saw many people going in and out of different rooms on the fourth floor.
The guard was a bearded man. He glanced at Liang Yuan and the others and said nothing.
It seems that the young man in the baseball cap downstairs is the one who really collects the commission. We won’t accept it here upstairs.
When Liang Yuan and others arrived at the first room, they saw four or five big men sitting or standing in the room.
There are some bone spears, bone whips, and bone shields made of huge fish bones placed in the house.
As for bone knives, bone swords, and bone hammers, there are also quite a few, all of which look unique in shape and have a sense of originality.
A strong man at the door said: "These bones are all mutated biological bones. They are hard in texture and have been polished. They have good sharpness and toughness. After being equipped with power stones, they can also activate special effects."
"But we only sell weapons here. You need to go to the next door to buy the power stones separately."
After he finished the introduction, he said no more.
When Liang Yuan heard this, his heart moved slightly. Can a weapon made from mutant beast bones be equipped with a power stone to activate special effects?
I have never tried any design or concept in this area.
He walked into the house and picked out a bone sword.
This should be made from the rib spurs of some kind of mutated fish.
The tip of the sword was extremely sharp, the sides were polished smooth and sharp, and it was also coated with non-lethal oil.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Liang Yuan smelled it and it seemed to be fish oil.
He looked at the bone sword carefully and suddenly noticed that there were special lines on the bone sword.
This pattern looks a bit like it was artificially imprinted at a later stage.
The texture extends all the way to the handle.
There is an openable groove at the handle position and the butt of the sword, which can be used to insert items.
Liang Yuan immediately understood that this should be the place where the power stone was embedded.
He stroked the bone sword and looked at the lines on it, with surprise in his eyes.
"It's rune technology."
"But it's different from any rune disclosed by the military."
Liang Yuan became interested and immediately put down the bone sword and looked at a nearby bone hammer.
The hammer head of this bone hammer is made of the head of a mutated fish, and the handle of the hammer is made of fish bone.
There are two grooves left at the fisheye position of the hammer head. This position is where the power stone is embedded.
The runes are engraved on the surface of the hammer head and are also linked to the grooves.
Liang Yuan looked at the runes on it, which were exactly the same as the runes on the bone sword.
He put down the bone hammer and looked at a bone whip.
This is a bone whip made from the backbone of some mutated creature.
Because of the special structure of the spine, it can be folded and bent to form weapons such as bone whips.
The runes on the bone whip are inlaid on the spine, but because the bone whip is not one piece, the maker used an ingenious idea to connect the joints of the bone whip with a tendon-like elastic rope.
The links of some runes are maintained by this big rib.
Liang Yuan secretly praised the craftsmanship of this bone whip.
There is no doubt that there are talented people in this black market who are not only proficient in rune technology, but also very creative and creative.
Putting down the bone whip, he looked at the bone shield next to him.
There are two specifications of bone shields. One is a shield woven with fine bone spurs.
The other uses a whole piece of bone as a shield.
Needless to say, the shield made of bone spurs is similar to a shield made of rattan.
The one with a whole piece of bone as the shield surface not only seems to have the function of armor, but both sides of the entire shield are polished smooth, showing a sharp light.
This kind of shield is also oval in shape as a whole, with both ends sharpened. It looks a bit like the huge white bone in the body of a squid.
The inside of the shield is inlaid with grooves that can accommodate power stones. The handle is hollowed out with other bones and screwed on. It looks quite hard.
Liang Yuan took a rough look at these bone weapons and felt quite eye-opening.
The maker of these weapons is definitely a very thoughtful and creative person.
I just don’t know if the other party is Lai Zhiyong, the boss here.
"Hey, do you want to buy it? If you don't buy it, don't touch it."
A big man in the room became impatient and scolded him coldly.
Liang Yuan raised his head, picked up a small bone knife, and asked: "How can I trade this bone knife?"
"What do you have to trade?" Seeing that Liang Yuan wanted to buy a bone knife, the big man suddenly became energetic and asked immediately.
Several other big men also looked over.
Liang Yuan took out four packs of instant noodles and asked, "Are these OK?"
"Instant noodles?"
"Is it still the white elephant's?"
"Four packs, too little."
Several people gathered over and immediately shook their heads when they saw the four packs of instant noodles.
Liang Yuan reached out from his arms and took out another bag of chocolates, the kind of chocolates that look like gold coins in bulk in supermarkets.
There are probably more than ten or twenty pieces in a pack.
"What about adding these?"
Seeing these chocolates, the eyes of several big men suddenly went straight.
God knows how long it had been since they had eaten something like this.
Before the Flood, few adults ate it.
After all, this stuff is too high in sugar, and adults who eat too much can easily gain weight and even develop diabetes.
But children love to eat this stuff very much.
However, after the flood, everyone was short of food and clothing. High-calorie foods like chocolate have become a very popular snack.
One of the big men quickly grabbed the chocolate and said: "It's barely enough."
He threw the dagger to Liang Yuan excitedly, took back the instant noodles and chocolate, then looked at Liang Yuan and asked expectantly: "Do you have any more?"
Liang Yuan smiled: "There are still some, but I don't want to buy weapons anymore. I want to see other rooms."
The big man said quickly: "Don't, I see there are so many of you, how can one weapon be enough? Look, we also have bone whips, bone swords, bone knives, and, by the way, shields. These shields are all high-quality." , if you add an earth-attributed power stone to this groove, even a power-type power user will be unable to do anything to you.”
The big man began to sell products to Liang Yuan excitedly.
Liang Yuan was unmoved and just asked: "I don't need these weapons for the time being. I want to see if there are any other good things."
"Yes, yes! Brother, the things in the other rooms are similar to the ones here. They are also weapons and some mutated beast bones, skins and other materials."
"By the way, you bought this dagger, don't you need the power stone?"
"This power stone is a good thing. It's rare to find but not to be found. People outside are snatching it now."
Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why, do you have a power stone here?"
"Hey, look what you said, we must be doing business. Wait a minute, Lao Qi, take out the things quickly. This brother is a big customer."
He turned around to greet a man in his forties.
Hearing this, the man stood up and walked over. He had been sitting in the corner without speaking. Liang Yuan didn't even pay much attention to him.
As he stood up now, Liang Yuan discovered that this man was nearly two meters tall and had very strong energy and blood.
Lao Qi came over, looked at Liang Yuan, and asked, "Do you want the power stone?"
Liang Yuan smiled: "I need to see the goods first."
Lao Qi looked at Liang Yuan, then at Tu Long and others, his eyes pondered for a moment, and then he took out a small cloth bag from the inner pocket of his coat.
There was a tinkling sound coming from the bag, like the sound of glass hitting.
Liang Yuan looked at the bag and saw Lao Qi opening the bag and pouring out four or five supernatural stones that looked like glass beads.
