Su Lun followed Mr. Hei all the way down.

The two walked across the streets of the black market, then climbed over the fence, and continued to walk into the depths of the darkness by stepping on a steel pipe more than one meter thick.

There was an endless abyss under his feet. Ordinary people were afraid of leaving when they came. Su Lun felt that he had good balance, otherwise he would fall into endless darkness if his feet slipped.

After walking through the pipe for dozens of meters, Mr. Hei seemed to remember something, took out a cloak and handed it to Su Lun, and said, "This is the token of the entry-level of this small circle. Wearing it will save you a lot of trouble."

"Um."

Su Lun nodded, took the cloak, looked at it and felt inexplicably familiar. Isn’t this the kind of cloak on Mr. Hei?

【Hidden Cloak】

Detailed explanation: The alchemy cloak with advanced concealment formations has a certain degree of distortion of vision, voice change, and weakening of mental exploration.

nice one!

Su Lun put on a cloak, as if his body was isolated from the outside world, and suddenly he felt like he was hiding in a hole to peek at people.

This can bring him more security than his turtleneck windbreaker.

The two continued on, crossing an abandoned sewer.

Mr. Hei said as he walked, "Before entering, there are a few simple rules to tell you. This small circle is a membership system. Only if more than three members are recommended at the same time, new members are eligible to join. At that time, you'd better not say that they joined through me, otherwise there might be trouble. Of course, with this cloak, no one will ask you. Also, don't ask about the identities of other members casually, and be careful not to be discovered..."

"There will be one or two exchange meetings every month, and the information will be printed in the third row of the advertising column of the Old Lingdun Daily. The decoding method's 'Hill Password'..."

"There are many people here, not as friendly as you think. They may be wanted criminals, evil alchemists, or spies with ulterior motives..."

"What material knowledge do you need to find? You can see how others exchange it later."

“…”

Su Lun listened carefully and nodded frequently.

Soon, the two of them came to a rusty iron door and walked in, and the space suddenly became clear again.

This is a space about the size of a basketball court. There are pipes of large and small everywhere, which looks a bit like an observation room of an ancient sewer system.

It was the first time he had come to the black market that he knew there was such a secret meeting place at the bottom of the black market.

.........

There is only a lonely gas lamp in the space, illuminating the stone round table in the center carved with complex hexagram alchemy array patterns.

Dark, mysterious, silent.

There was no sound in the huge space, and there was a strong mysterious aura in the air.

Mr. Hei seemed to be the host of the party. When he came, the cloaked people who were resting in the dark corners surrounded him.

"Mr. Black..."

Everyone greeted each other.

Mr. Hei nodded and showed up.

Su Lun just took a casual look and there were fifteen figures by the round table. Although they were of different heights and shapes, they were all of the same cloaks, and they couldn't see clearly and had voice changes. Thinking that under these cloaks were all second-level professionals in the outer city, perhaps there were cadres from their Cross Society, so he didn't look much.

Mr. Hei said, "Okay, today's exchange can begin."

Everyone seemed to be familiar with the process, no one said nonsense, and they just got to the topic.

Su Lun originally thought it was a very serious and cruel mysterious organization exchange meeting, but it sounded more like a tea party.

As soon as the show started, it became lively.

"I need information. The butler of the Custer family in the inner city was assassinated and the murderer fled to the outer city. I want to know what channel the guy left the city. In addition to offering rewards for bounties, the Custer family will also provide a cooperation opportunity..."

“…”

"A group of arms was robbed in the branch of Sunbird Military Merit Machinery Factory in Dongcheng. Who can contact the group of people who took action? I am not trying to cause trouble, but I want that batch of goods, and the price is easy to negotiate..."

“…”

"Is there any news about the wanted criminal from S who came out of the inner city?"

"There is news that it was the last time she was discovered in Xicheng District. The people from the Umbrella Organization were staring at it very closely and caught the clues, but they didn't catch anyone..."

"Who do you know the origin of that woman?"

"Haha, I heard that I am still a very powerful mechanic warrior. I seem to have escaped with some 'research secrets'..."

"No one dares to take over even with a terrifying secret. Oh, except for that organization..."

“…”

A group of cloaked men exchanged for information.

Occasionally, secret information that needs to be traded will be written in an envelope for transaction.

If it is not very important, they will continue chatting along the topic. When the people tell their own information, they will often piece together the truth of the whole thing.

After all, these are all high-level professionals in the outer city. The events they mentioned are of high level and the information channels are very wide. Moreover, almost all the questions asked can be answered by anyone.

It was like watching the news broadcast, and Su Lun listened silently on the side, and then he realized that the old Lingdunli was so lively.

After listening for a while, he probably understood the role of this small circle.

Here, they can learn about real-time information about the entire outer city and even the inner city.

Su Lun also discovered that it seemed that the people on the round table, except for him and Mr. Hei, had more or less spoken.

This seems to be a tacit understanding or a customary rule.

No one can get free news and participate in exchanges, so he must give some of his own information.

This is why Su Lun always feels that someone has just glanced at him, probably because he has seen that he is a newcomer.

.........

After the intelligence exchange process, the item exchange process is reached.

A cloaked man said, "I need advanced materials for the rare profession [Wild Warlock]. The advancement direction is probably 'water element control', and it is best to be a high-quality silver product from the ruins. The price is easy to say..."

At this opening, someone immediately responded to the words.

"I happened to have a silver curse [Tears of the Poison Pond Giant Crocodile] in my hand, which should meet your requirements. But I need to exchange for a complete set of the latest "Frost Giant Combat Armor" armor in the inner city..."

"That thing is a 'controlled product' of the inner city army...it's not just a matter of price."

"I will add another skill scroll with the second-level rare water spell [Acid Dissolution]..."

"The deal is done! But it takes about a week to get the armor out."

"no problem."

The two soon reached an agreement without a single nonsense.

The things from both sides were handed over to Mr. Hei for a moment. Even though the man did not take out his armor, he seemed to have made a few promises, and the deal was reached.

Only then did Su Lun realize that Mr. Hei was not only the host of the party, but also the "appraiser" and "guarantor".

Everyone seemed to trust him very much.

He said that the materials and scrolls are fine, and the deal can be concluded immediately.

Su Lun knew some of Mr. Hei's identities, so he was not surprised.

What surprised him even more was that the energy of these cloaked men was so great!

"Frost Giant Combat Armor" is said to be the latest generation of combat armor that the inner city guards have only recently equipped. Before the army has finished equipment, someone can get it out?

.........

At the beginning of the trading session, many advanced things that Su Lun had never heard of before appeared.

"I need to target the evil-breaking curse objects of the advanced ghost species. It is best if someone can take out the [Cross Holy Emblem] of the inner city Carter family, and the price can be negotiated..."

"I have several pages of manuscript from "The Alchemy Metaphor" written by the great alchemist "Master Arnald" of the same period of "Sir Isaac". But the content has not been deciphered yet, and I do not guarantee that it must be alchemy knowledge. I want to exchange for a message..."

"Who can provide clues to the advanced curse materials of third-level professions? As long as it is in a melee system..."

“…”

The people in the cloak all put forward their needs, and seemed to be prepared for them, bringing traded goods that were enough to exchange for their needs.

The materials required are very high-end, almost all of which are silver or above.

Moreover, no one heard of the price being exposed, it was bartered.

Only then did Su Lun understand why there are few second-level materials sold in black market shops. Even if there are, there are a few samples of low quality.

Because the output of high-level curse materials is small, the audience is smaller.

Unlike first-level materials that face everyone, only professionals with level two or above can use advanced materials, and it is difficult to sell them if they are put out.

Professionals who can get high-end materials probably don’t lack small money, and they lack materials that suit them.

Therefore, bartering is the best way.

.........

Su Lun listened silently for a while and fully understood the rules of the exchange meeting.
