"Here we are, this is the black market."
Arriving at a grocery store at the end of the road, Kirou took Lin Yi inside.
The furnishings in the store are a bit messy, with all kinds of strange and weird items piled up together.
When the grocery store owner saw Kirou, a smile immediately appeared on his face. It was obvious that the two of them were very familiar with each other.
"Kiluou, you are a rare visitor! Are you coming here this time to buy something or to accept a mission?"
"Do you have a list of relics recently?" Kiruo asked straight to the point.
"List of relics? Are you going into the depths of the Abyss Abyss?" The grocery store owner immediately sat up straight after hearing Kirou's question.
"No, this guy wants it. If you have any good things, take them out. Don't hide them." Kiruo knocked on the table. The meaning in his words was very obvious: If you have any good things, take them out. Behind my back The Lord is not short of money.
"Okay, Anthony and his team just came back from the fourth level of the Cup of Giants two days ago. It is said that they found a buried cave, and there are really a lot of good things in it. But the price is a bit expensive. Expensive.”
As he said that, the owner of the grocery store threw out a tattered notebook and motioned to Lin Yi to read it by himself.
Lin Yi reached out and took the notebook, only to see that the cover of the notebook had been worn out and there were still some stains on the edges.
Opening the notebook, there is a photo of the relic attached to each page. Although the photo is a bit blurry, you can still roughly see what the relic looks like.
Below the photo, there are also descriptions about the relics. However, not all relics have descriptions, and there are still many relics whose functions are marked "to be determined."
After all, various relics are produced in the Abyss Abyss at all times.
For these relics, except for scientific research madmen like Liming Qing who can quickly learn the effects of the relics, the effects of most of the relics are slowly discovered through the passage of time.
For example, the [Life-Extending Wine (DipsyAeon)] was not regarded as a special-level relic back then. It was just designated as a fourth-level relic.
It was not until later that people discovered that the lifespan of those who drank the wine was extended, that the wine was turned into a special relic.
Therefore, buying these relics with unknown effects on the black market can also be equivalent to a kind of gambling.
If you purchase a particularly powerful weapon, it will naturally be even more powerful for your cave exploration experience.
However, cave explorers also have their own identification methods. Most of the relics that can be thrown here are considered useless relics, so it is naturally not that easy to pick them up.
After browsing for a few minutes, Lin Yi finally found a usable relic.
A first-level relic [Thousand Man Wedge].
[Thousand People's Wedge] is almost as long as a nail. If you don't nail it into your arm, most people really won't know how to use it.
In addition, Orson deliberately blocked the information related to "Thousand People's Wedge", so most cave explorers really don't know the news about "Thousand People's Wedge".
"How much does this cost?" Lin Yi opened his notebook and pointed to the [Thousand People Wedge] on it towards the grocery store owner.
"Well, there are two ways to buy it. One is if you know the effect of this relic, you can tell me how to use it. In return, I can give the relic to you for free. The other is to buy it normally."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard what the grocery store owner said.
No wonder this boss can do this business on such a large scale, such a big deal is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"The first option is to give me the thing and I will tell you how to use it."
The boss showed a smile after hearing Lin Yi's words. For cave explorers, knowledge is power. Relics are gone when they are gone, but knowledge can be passed down forever.
Once you encounter the same relic again in the future, it will save a lot of trouble.
The grocery store owner nodded slightly, then turned and walked into the back room.
Time passed by, and after about a few minutes, the boss slowly walked out with a simple wooden box in his hand and placed it in front of Lin Yi.
"Let's inspect the goods."
As the grocery store owner spoke, he opened the box and displayed the items inside in front of Lin Yi.

Introduction: There is a strange smell on this nail. Are you sure you want to insert this thing into your body?
“Yes, this is it.”
Lin Yi picked it up and looked at it for a while, then inserted the thing into his arm. In an instant, a strong tingling sensation hit him, as if countless fine needles were piercing his skin at the same time.
The next moment, Lin Yi felt that a trace of the abyss power in [Thousand People's Wedge] was integrated into his body. Before this abyss power had time to struggle, it was instantly swallowed up by the original abyss power in Lin Yi's body.
Lin Yi was a little disappointed and pulled out the [Thousand Man Wedge]. It seemed that this equipment would most likely have no effect on Lin Yi.
"What, the effect is wrong?" Seeing Lin Yi's disappointed expression, the grocery store owner couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart, thinking that there was something wrong with the relic.
"No problem, it's my own problem." Lin Yi shook his head slightly and explained, "This relic is called [Thousand People's Wedge]. There is no name for this relic in the relic list. The reason is that once it is produced in the abyss, They will all be bought by [Fudoji] Osen. I advise you not to make any noise later, otherwise be careful of others coming to your door."
After hearing the name of [Fudo Qing] Osun, the owner of the grocery store immediately trembled, and then said that he would never talk about this matter. Others didn't know how terrible Bai Di was, but he was He knows the horror of Bai Di best.
People from Liming Qing Bodordo have also appeared in the slums, so the grocery store owner naturally knows what kind of crazy people the white flute holders are.
"How to use it?"
"It's very simple. You can insert this thing into any part of the body. However, I recommend inserting it into the arm, which is relatively safe and convenient.
The effect is also very intuitive, allowing the user to gain the power of a thousand people. Of course, this is just a general concept, and everyone’s specific situation is different. "
Hearing Lin Yi's explanation, the grocery store owner nodded thoughtfully, then took out a small notebook and recorded everything Lin Yi said in it.
Since the relic this time is related to the white flute, the owner of the grocery store is not going to sell the information about this relic on the black market.
After all, he hasn't lived enough yet and doesn't want to be blocked by Orson.
"Very good, from now on, [Thousand People's Wedge] is yours." Lin Yi was slightly startled, obviously not expecting the grocery store owner to be so straightforward.
The grocer keeps his word, which is why he has grown his business so big.
You know, there used to be many people doing the same business as him in the black market.
It's a pity that every one of them either got greedy and was killed by others, or took away the money and ran away. Decades have passed, and he is the only one who is still standing here.
Everyone is more willing to come to him to sell relics, after all, credit is here.
"Are there any other items you're interested in?"
"Let me see again."
After hearing Lin Yi's words, the boss didn't push him. Being able to obtain the information about [Thousand People's Wedge] this time was no longer a loss for the boss.
But unfortunately, most of the remaining relics are useless waste.
After all, cave explorers are not fools. After careful selection, the probability of finding something missing is almost very low.
[Thousand People's Wedge] was thrown into the black market because the triggering conditions were very harsh.
"Do you have any information about the interior of the Abyss Abyss? The more detailed the better."
"There are three types. One is the official information of the Cave Digging Association, which is free. It mainly contains some more basic and common information, which will be helpful to cave diggers who are new to the Abyss Abyss.
The second type is the underlying information pieced together by various cave explorers. Some of it is true and some are false, but most of it is useful and the price is 100 gold coins. The last one is Liming Qing Bodordo's information, which covers the map from the first level to the fifth level of the abyss, as well as the general distribution and information of the abyssal creatures, but the price is relatively expensive, 1,000 gold coins.
"The last one." After saying that, Lin Yi took out ten small bags from his personal space. Each small bag contained 100 gold coins.
The boss picked up one of the small bags and weighed it in his hands, already having a rough idea in his mind.
"Wait, I don't have this thing here either."
After saying that, the boss took out a cage containing a homing pigeon from under the counter of the grocery store. Lin Yi noticed that there was a special device tied to the sole of the pigeon's foot.
The boss then released the pigeon. The pigeon flapped its wings, flew into the sky, and flew straight towards the north.
"Wait a moment, Ming Qing's people will come over later, and they will deliver what you want."
Then, the boss motioned to Lin Yi to sit down and take a rest.
He skillfully served Lin Yi and Kirou a cake and tea made from the petals of Millennium Incense.
Lin Yi came to spend a lot this time, and the boss wouldn't bother searching for these things.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Yi's ears suddenly caught the sound of steady and powerful footsteps, approaching from far away and slowly approaching the store door.
Kiruo also noticed this and looked towards the door.
The next second, a man wearing a gray-white coat and a helmet with a purple shimmer on his head appeared in front of the three people.
For most residents of Osun, this kind of dress is not unfamiliar-it is the symbol of the Hand Praying Force that belongs exclusively to the Dawn Lord Portordo.
Qi Shou walked straight to the counter and quickly took out a seemingly ordinary notebook from his pocket. At the same time, he extended his palm to the boss standing behind the counter, gesturing for him to hand over the money.
The boss took out nine small bags from under the counter and handed them to Qishou. Qishou took the bags, looked at them carefully, and after confirming that they were correct, he turned around and left the grocery store.
As for why Liming Qing got involved in selling abyssal information, the logic is actually not complicated.
The consumption of scientific research, especially high-risk and high-investment fields such as abyss exploration, is staggering - from precious materials to professional personnel to continuous energy supply, each item is a huge expense.
As an authority in the field of abyss exploration, Liming Qing naturally knows this.
Therefore, in order to make up for the lack of scientific research funds, he chose to raise funds for himself through some "small businesses", and selling abyssal information was undoubtedly a safe and efficient way.
"Are you going to the depths of the Abyss Abyss?"
"Well, I just won't go for the time being."
Kirou heard Lin Yi's reply and did not continue to ask.
When the two were about to return to the Belchero Orphanage, Lin Yi bought ten pounds of candy and some snacks at a nearby store.
Don't tell me, these candies are really not cheap. Such a thing actually cost Lin Yi two gold coins.
Back at the orphanage, Lin Yi was like a Santa Claus, distributing the candy in his hand to every child one by one.
Tonight is undoubtedly a special night for the children - they enjoyed a sumptuous meal first, and there was even candy as dessert before going to bed. This kind of life is simply like... A fairy tale that comes out of a dream is as beautiful as a fairy tale.
Even Rico, who is always obsessed with the Abyss and never leaves Abyss, tonight rarely gave up her obsession with the Abyss. She sat around with Nado and a few other friends and talked excitedly about it. their dreams for the future.
In the dead of night, Lin Yi lay on the bed, enjoying this rare peace and tranquility.
In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and gently brushed the eaves of the Belchero Orphanage, the members of the Caving Guild arrived on time, not only delivering the proceeds from the sale of the relics that Rico and Nado had received yesterday. reward, and also told Lin Yi to go to the Cave Explorer Guild as soon as possible to conduct a level determination.
Ever since Bell Alger reported Lin Yi's extraordinary ability to the Cave Explorer Guild yesterday, the guild has attached great importance to it.
The appearance of every Black Flute cave explorer is an encouraging thing for the entire cave exploration community.
So early this morning, the Cave Explorers Guild sent someone over to invite Lin Yi.
Lin Yi had a simple breakfast, and then went to the Cave Explorer Guild.
As for Li Ke and the others, today is their day to go down to the cave, so they can't follow Lin Yi to the cave exploration guild.
After saying goodbye to Li Ke, Lin Yi followed the previous path to the Cave Explorer Guild.
Compared with yesterday, today's cave exploration guild seemed a little quieter, and the number of people was significantly reduced.
After seeing Lin Yi enter, Alyssa led Lin Yi through the guild's front hall and to a private area in the backyard.
There, several senior members of the cave exploration guild had been waiting for a long time.
"Is this the person who defeated Bell Alger? You really can't tell a person's face." A young man with black hair said after seeing Lin Yi.
"Hello, my name is Simredo, and I am a wild cave explorer under Lord Orson. After the Cave Explorer Guild sent the message yesterday, Master Orson sent me here." Simredo nodded slightly, with a respectful tone. without losing confidence.
Hearing the name Simredo, Lin Yi quickly matched the middle-aged man in front of him with a certain character in the Orson Surveillance Base in his memory.
At this time, most of the Black Flute cavers are diving deep into the abyss, and there are only a handful of Black Flute cavers on the ground.
Those who can become Black Flute are all explorers who have an almost fanatical love for cave exploration.
Therefore, facing a shortage of manpower, the Cave Explorer Guild had to turn to Lady Orson, hoping that she could lend a helping hand.
Fortunately, Orson's forward base is located on the second level of the abyss, not too far from the ground. Simredo arrived in the town of Ors in just three or four hours.

…
"Start?" Simredo's voice was clear and crisp, revealing his practical style.
Seeing Lin Yi nod, Simredo pulled out a machete from his waist.
This machete is not an ordinary weapon made in the town of Os, but a relic he found from the Abyss Abyss. Its effect is simple and crude. Once inserted into the ground, it can trigger a ground explosion within ten meters in front. .
Although Simredo didn't know the specific principle of this machete, there was no doubt about its sharpness.
Even the abyssal creatures in the fourth-level Giant's Cup of the Abyss are vulnerable to this machete, and the battle can often be resolved with one strike.
Therefore, Simredo regarded this machete as his personal weapon.
"bring it on."
Faced with Simredo's invitation to fight, Lin Yi did not take out the black and white rose.
With his current strength, his melee combat ability alone is enough to compete with Simredo, and even gain the upper hand. (End of chapter)
