Chapter 108 Supervisory Bureau (Third update, additional update with 5,000 monthly votes)
"I'll come again next time."
Before leaving, the boss also gave An Jing a small stack of breeze charms, which can drive away the calmness. It is very practical for hiding or tracking prey in the wilderness. It is not valuable but consumes a lot of money. It is regarded as a daily utensil, so An Jing is not allowed to use it. Jingsong suffered a lot from his five good deeds.
"The chip is essentially the legal identity of the safe zone in the city. Let's not talk about backdoors. If I want to go deep into the Tianyuan world, it is a necessity."
After leaving the shop, An Jing thought in his mind: "Five thousand good deeds... is not difficult for me. It would be better to say that my current net worth is enough."
"On the contrary, that feat requires hunting down wanted monsters, which is quite tricky."
Anjing's requirements for chips are indeed not low. Not to mention the convenience of transactions, many spiritual weapons, such as those magical weapons, firearms and drones, require the assistance of chips for better control.
And An Jing also knows very well that in this Tianyuan world, psychic chips are definitely that kind of 'common but high-tech' good thing, just like smartphones in previous lives.
Its effect is nothing in the Tianyuan world because basically everyone has it.
But if it’s in the Huaixu Realm…
Shaking his head slightly, An Jing could only say that it was a pity that he could not get it this time.
It was at this time that a thunderous explosion suddenly exploded above everyone's heads.
——Boom! ! !
The expressions of all shop owners and customers in the entire free trade zone changed, and they raised their heads in shock. With the sound of explosions, there were cracks crisscrossing the area, and debris and dust from the ceiling had been thrown down. Make people dodge in a hurry.
Then, with violent shaking like an earthquake, amidst the screams of everyone and the flash of protective aura, the lights of the entire black market were instantly extinguished. After a few seconds, the backup energy was activated, and the dark yellow backup lights turned on again, but at this time The body-protecting aura of everyone has shone through the entire market.
【warn! warn! 】The red warning spirit pattern disappeared, and the black market’s emergency communication rang: 【Supervisory Bureau! Supervisory Bureau! 】
Without any redundant words, the three words ‘Supervision Bureau’ are enough to explain everything.
In an instant, all the experienced bosses and customers were fully armed, began to pack up their assets as quickly as possible, and swarmed towards the 'emergency exits' in all directions of the trade area!
"This..." An Jing blinked and looked around with vigilance, his heart racing: "The Supervisory Bureau... patrol... Xuan Ye City officials came to clean up the black market?"
——But this shouldn’t be the case! This black market is so formal that it doesn't even look like it is black. There is definitely support from big forces behind it... and so on.
When he was confused, An Jing suddenly had some enlightenment. He remembered the riot that swept the city when he first came to Tianyuan World, and the landing of the Immortal Battleship: "It is because there is a big force behind this black market, so Only then will they be eliminated!”
Damn it, I was involved in the infighting among the big forces within Xuanye City!
“Oops, Oops!”
Behind An Jing, Boss Ji Lu, who was still a little lazy, turned pale, and his half-lit cigarette fell from his mouth: "How could the Supervisory Bureau take action?"
At this moment, he had taken off his overlay glasses, revealing a pair of golden and green eyes. He nervously packed away his belongings as quickly as possible: "We pay taxes in full and have never been delayed!"
Even though the situation was tense, An Jing was still curious for a moment: The black market still pays taxes, so isn't my black market running in vain?
But this also confirmed his previous speculation. This was obviously not a 'law enforcement organization raiding a smuggling gang', but 'an official violent organization controlled by a large group raiding the underground trade market of another large group'.
At this moment, he also packed all his luggage and followed Boss Jilu, and the two of them hurried towards the emergency exit.
Boss Jilu's physical skills are not good and his steps are frivolous, but his body is clear and his speed is not slow. The belt around his waist brings up a gentle breeze, which can not only blow away the falling sand and gravel above his head, but also make his whole body almost 'Floating' on the way.
An Jing, on the other hand, used solid footwork to dodge the falling debris above his head. Occasionally, he would push the debris away with his hands. If he couldn't push it away, he would be hit. A white light would flash, and it would not hurt or itch. .
"Little brother, you have some skills." Boss Jilu turned his head and noticed, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Not only did An Jing's cultivation look good, but his solid footwork and the skill he showed when blocking falling rocks were also quite neat.
There are many people in the expedition team who want this kind of skill, and they are also considered the number one among the wilderness people. Why are they still buying the most basic Category C package?
"Store manager, what's going on?" An Jing immediately followed the stick and asked in a low voice: "There are people behind our black market, right? Why did the Supervisory Bureau suddenly appear? "
The first sentence was just an ordinary inquiry, but the last sentence was his real purpose: "I remember that there was a lot of chaos in the city a few days ago. Is it related to that?"
At this moment, everyone in the market has gathered at the emergency exit. The staff of the black market have put up shields to resist falling rocks. They stabilize the queue to avoid a stampede.
Although the queue for the emergency exit was long, it moved forward in an orderly manner, and there was not much noise during the queue. After all, most of the people who come to the black market are practitioners, and they know that stability is most important at this time.
If you make a mess, not only the staff of the black market will kill you, but also the other cultivators around you will never show mercy, so the most they can do is whisper in private and exchange what they know about the situation.
"What happened a few days ago?"
Boss Jilu, who was in the same queue as An Jing and started queuing up to leave, followed An Jing's words and fell into deep thought: "It's really possible. I heard from my family that a very important ancient artifact was lost in Luofu. , it is said that it was cast during the reign of Dao Zong before the World Tribulation, and people from the Shouyang Group were present when this strange object was lost. The two parties must have had a fight, and the whole city was in turmoil. "
But after saying that, he became a little crazy: "The Supervisory Bureau is indeed Luofu's territory...but what does this have to do with us?!"
"There is Xuan behind our place..."
At this point, Boss Jilu realized that he had made a mistake and immediately kept silent. However, An Jing already knew the meaning behind the word 'Xuan': "So, the background behind this black market is the Xuandu Group... No wonder there are discounted products. For sale, there are also good things like the Xuanxiao Thunder Talisman, which will most likely be cleared out of stock!”
"But clearing inventory is still so expensive! Sure enough, I was tricked into the discount strategy!"
This is An Jing's purpose. Boss Jilu is able to open a large shop in the black market at such a young age. This either means that he is a very capable young man, or that he has connections in his family, and no matter who he is, , which means that he most likely has a lot of information that ordinary people don't know.
From the current point of view, Boss Jilu has family connections. As for himself, he couldn't figure out why the Supervisory Bureau came at the first time. He only realized it after being prompted by An Jing. At least in terms of intelligence, it was indeed insensitive.
"The Luofu Group lost an ancient artifact and had a fight with the Shouyang Group. A week later, the Sky Supervision Bureau controlled by Luofu raided the black market under the Xuandu Group... It should not be without purpose."
An Jing lined up and moved forward, thinking in his mind, feeling that many clues were connected: "A week ago, wasn't that the time when the Immortal Battleship landed?"
"After that, huge riots and battles broke out in Fuchenyuan and Xuanye City... was it all because the Luofu Group lost something?"
"As for the current turmoil in the black market...could it be said that this rare object has been transferred to the black market, and the Luofu Group has traced the whereabouts of the rare object, so it acted without any scruples?"
"Also, is there an ancient rare object?" Thinking of a possibility, An Jing asked the sword spirit in his heart: "Fu Xie, is it possible that this rare object is a fragment of you?"
"Impossible." Sword Spirit answered resolutely: "I can roughly sense the distance of my fragments. The fragments of Tianyuan Realm are still far away and definitely not in the surrounding area."
An Jing was not disappointed either. He knew that recovering the fragments for Fu Xie was not that simple.
"However." Sword Spirit said again: "If it is really an 'ancient wonder' created in the Dao Zong era, it must have been made using ancient methods. The energy is restrained and obscured. It is impossible to find it with ordinary search methods, and may even be mistakenly discovered. I thought it was some old broken vessel.”
really. An Jing thought to himself that Fu Xie's body looked really bad at first - "That's a divine thing that hides itself!" Since he was communicating with Fu Xie Sword Spirit, his thoughts were sensed by the other party, and An Jing listened very seriously and a little angry. Drum's answer: "I was very beautiful then!"
Yes, yes, very beautiful! An Jing quickly apologized in his heart.
"In short." Sword Spirit said: "They are both 'weapons'. If it is closer to me, I can sense it."
"Approximately how close..."
--boom! ! !
Before An Jing could say anything, suddenly, a bigger explosion and vibration came from above, causing everyone present to stagger.
Immediately afterwards, the dome of the underground black market collapsed and shattered.
Crash la la la——
Countless gray-brown rocks and sand fell along the cracked cracks, like heavy rain, beating on the shield supported by the black market.
And several black shadows were mixed in it, like meteorites, hitting the ground heavily, causing layers of ripples.
"Huh...chih."
The sound of heavy breathing, with an aura as deep as the sea, enveloped the entire underground space.
