Chapter 3786 Black Market
Of course, it is actually flawed to only use the time-to-money ratio of side tasks to reversely estimate the funds required for main tasks.
After all, the side mission has a clear goal of "accumulating one million".
As for the main mission, they did not explicitly ask them to save money, but they just inferred that it might be saving money.
If there is a way to clear the second round of main quests without saving money, then the concept of "time to money ratio" does not apply.
The funds required for the main mission may be far more than one million, or may be far less than one million.
However, Angel decided not to consider these things for now.
Isn't the reason why Yusup turned the Prada beauty pageant sour because of lack of money? Even if there are other ways to clear the second round of main missions, Angel is sure and sure that money can definitely open Yusup's mouth.
If Yusup doesn't let go, then it means he didn't spend enough money!
Therefore, regardless of the final amount of funds needed, let’s collect one million for now!
Thinking of this, Angel stopped thinking about the correct way to complete the main mission, and instead focused on thinking about how to quickly earn a large amount of Modern Coins.
"It's too close to the end of the second round of the main quest. It's a bit difficult to find a way to earn a lot of Modern Coins in just six hours."
The only formal method Angel can think of now is to disassemble the pages of the book and sell the cards.
For example, he can now disassemble the pages of "Style Clown" and sell them. As far as he knows, although this card is not a particularly high-end card, it has a wider audience because it is a basic monster from the gorgeous series. If he sells it,
If so, it will be quite popular.
Not only newcomers are willing to buy it, but even fashion magicians who already have the "clown look" may also buy the "recasting ability".
Therefore, the Costume Clown card should be available for sale.
I just don’t know where to sell it and how much it would cost?
In addition to dressing up as a clown, Angel can also complete some other side tasks, quickly obtain some puzzle pieces of fashionable monsters, then use "universal fragments" to collect them, and finally dismantle them and sell them.
This kind of dismantling of cards and selling them will definitely bring in money relatively quickly.
Of course, the premise is that he can find a suitable channel for sale.
As for informal methods, of course there are. Although he is a fan of order, if time is really too late, he doesn't mind taking some off-beat ways.
For example, find someone to "borrow" some Modern Coins first.
However, this kind of behavior may also deepen the causal entanglement between him and the copy. Angel would generally not consider taking this step unless it was absolutely necessary.
…
Angel walked out of Beverly Nursing Center with a thoughtful look on his face.
Ten minutes ago, he went to see Connors, the director of the nursing center.
Firstly, they want to inquire about their research progress on the mutated weird virus and see when they can complete the hidden mission of "revival"; secondly, they also want to find out where there are channels for "selling cards" from Connors.
The answer given by Connors was that there has been no breakthrough progress in virus research.
As for "selling cards", Connors didn't know much about it. He could only find a doctor who had been an adventurer to inquire, and finally concluded two channels.
Formal channels and informal channels.
For formal channels, if you are on the surface, you can go to the Fashion Guild to sell it... Although the Fashion Guild often shouts the slogan "Strictly control the private trading of book pages", if you go to them to sell the book pages directly, they will accept it.
If you are in an underground neighborhood, then look for homeless houses for sale. There is a Dark Round Table endorsement behind the homeless houses, and generally there will be no scams.
However, whether it is a homeless house or a fashion guild, the prices offered are generally not too high, and they are basically purchased at 10% to 20% lower than the market price.
Although the price is not high, the transaction is guaranteed and generally there will be no mess.
Informal channels generally refer to private transactions on the black market.
In private transactions, if there are magicians who are in urgent need of specific types of cards, even low-level pages, their purchase prices will be much higher than those of the Fashion Guild and Wandering House.
However, compared with formal channels, private transactions are generally not guaranteed and can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
However, for Angel, he is actually happy to run into some trouble so that he doesn't have to worry about "borrowing" Mordencoins.
Then, Connors also marked several black markets where book pages can be traded. It is worth mentioning that there is also a black market on the "Tomb Street" that Angel went to in Town 8.
However, Angel still remembers, isn’t the person behind Tomb Street the homeless house?
Could it be that the Wandering House intends to take both black and white?
Angel didn't know the inside story and didn't bother to think about it because he didn't plan to go to Tomb Street.
According to Connors, those who are willing to pay a high premium to purchase book pages are generally private buyers. In the black market in nearby underground towns, there are relatively few private buyers, and most likely they can only sell disassembled book pages to black market merchants.
Although the price is higher than that of regular channels, it is not much higher.
Therefore, Connors’ suggestion is: “If you want to go to the black market, it’s best to go to the black market in Town 61.”
Town 61 is located below the central area. It is the headquarters of the Dark Round Table. It is also the largest of all underground towns.
Therefore, Town 61 has the richest and largest black market in the entire underground neighborhood.
Many private buyers who want to buy cards will also go to this black market. Even fashion magicians on the surface will come here to buy cards.
Therefore, based on this information, Angel personally tends to go to the black market in Town 61.
When bidding farewell to Connors, Angel also asked about the number of Modern Coins currently in circulation in the Beverly Care Center's accounts.
He was thinking that if it wasn't enough, he would use some from the nursing center.
However, the answer given by Connors disappointed Angel.
"The number of modern coins currently in circulation is about 200,000."
This 200,000 yuan also includes employees' salaries, the purchase of medicines, the replacement and repair of medical equipment, and the daily expenses of the nursing center...etc.
If Angel takes away all of them, the nursing center will basically be shut down.
Of course Angel would not do this.
He also hoped that the doctors in the nursing center would revive the patients with the mutated monstrous virus.
Therefore, the option of withdrawing money from the nursing center's account was also excluded by him.
It seems that the only way to sell the pages is to tear them apart.
Thinking of this, Angel left the nursing center and planned to return to the surface and take the Silver Wing Express to the central area.
When we returned to the surface, it was still raining in the modern city.
The corrosive acid rain made the entire street deserted. Except for the circle train in mid-air, which was still operating normally, the entire modern city seemed to have pressed the pause button.
The neon lights are still flashing and there are many tall buildings. However, under the double attack of acid rain and smog, it is obviously so prosperous, but there is an indescribable depression.
Acid rain fell in pitter-patter, causing tiny splashes of water in the stagnant areas of the street. The dirty fog shrouded the high-rise buildings, making the neon lights hazy and blurry, as if they were covered by a soft gauze curtain.
It's both prosperous and decadent; it's impetuous yet quiet.
Angel sighed as he slowly stepped into the rain.
The power of nightmare covered his figure and held up an invisible protective umbrella. Even when he was walking in the rain, he did not cause the slightest movement.
Angel walked silently on the street, checking the arrival time of the Silver Wing Express from a God's perspective, and observing the changes in the modern city.
Especially to see if you can find some people who are suspected of being "targeted" by the fashion monster, and then go there to do the side quests.
After all, if you want to sell cards, one page may not be enough.
Angel kept taking a bird's-eye view of the modern city from God's perspective, paying special attention to those near the event stages, looking for any "sleeping" people.
Because it is difficult to judge whether someone is really asleep or is being targeted by a fashion monster just through God's perspective. Therefore, Angel needs to specifically keep an eye on those "event stages". Many stages in Modern City are designed to attract people.
It is held because of the fashion monster. If it is sleeping near the stage and being protected by everyone, there is a high probability that it will encounter the fashion monster.
Angel took a general look around and found a person who was suspected of being targeted by a fashion monster near an indoor model show.
This is a royal lady dressed in extremely flamboyant clothes. She seemed to have just stepped off the stage. She didn't even change her clothes, but she lay on the ground backstage and fell into a deep sleep.
A circle of bodyguards in black suits surrounded her, looking murderous, preventing anyone from getting close.
These thugs in suits seemed to be protecting her, but they did not dare to move her easily or even touch her...
Judging from this situation, this fancy-dressed lady is most likely being targeted by the fashion monster.
Moreover, judging from the model show held at the front desk...the fashion monsters eyeing her are either from the gorgeous series or the style series...
To be continued...
