The underground trading market lives up to its name and is really underground.
"Flower City has such strict management on the city, how did the underground trading market be established?" Xu Huo said as he walked along the underground track into a section of the abandoned passage.
"It's not a difficult task." Jiao Cheng said: "It's not just ordinary players who want to resell some contraband. There are people above, so it's easy to do business below. Besides, it's not easy to find out here."
He pointed to the instrument near the entrance, "That thing is specially designed to deal with flight monitors. It can make the flight monitors blind near here."
Xu Huo glanced at it, and then his eyes swept over the two nearby players.
There are no tracks laid in this special passage hidden underground, but there will be a new passage every certain distance. Unlike the main passage of more than 20 meters, these passages can only accommodate three people passing through side by side, and here
"Shops" are based on small passage openings.
A quick sense will tell you that these small passages are partly independent and partly intersecting, like branches growing out of tree trunks, covering a large area one after another - leaving plenty of room for back roads.
It is relatively easy for players to modify their appearance. Almost no one covers their face. Instead, they change their height and appearance.
It seems to be an unwritten rule not to set up stalls on the main passage. Some people fought over a small passage entrance, but were quickly "persuaded" by the people around them.
In addition to buyers and sellers, there is another type of people in the aisle. They shuttle in front of different stalls, show proof, and then pick up a sealed package.
"Courier?" Xu Huo raised his eyebrows.
Jiao Cheng explained: "These people have business dealings with each other. If it is not convenient for them to come in person, they will hire couriers. Couriers are also players, and the fees are not cheap. I am not hiding this method, but some businesses only accept face-to-face transactions."
While they were talking, they had stopped in front of a small passage.
The person squatting in the booth was an unkempt old man. There was a small floating table in front of him. On the table were several pieces of low-quality ore. They were far from "shaped like diamonds" and looked like just a few white stones containing impurities.
Jiao Cheng stepped forward and knocked on the table, "Buy ore."
The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at them, "Do you have money?"
"Since you are here to buy, of course you have money. Old man, do you look down on us?" Jiao Cheng's attitude changed.
The old man laughed and said, "There are many people who came to buy ore in search of prophecy tools, but in the end not many of them were able to get the props. I'm afraid that if you buy them for no good and feel that you are at a loss, you will panic and smash my stall."
"The bet is that this is possible," Xu Huo answered: "Otherwise, I might as well just buy high-priced props."
The old man stared at him for a few seconds before lazily asking, "How much do you want?"
"As much as you want." Xu Huo was calm and relaxed, as if he was carrying a golden mountain.
Jiao Cheng asked: "How many do you have? You won't just have these few rotten rocks in front of you, right?"
The old man rolled his eyes and said, "The wealthy people have found the wrong place. Come on, don't delay my business."
"If you say the wrong thing and drive people away, are you still doing business?" Jiao Cheng couldn't help but said: "It's not like we don't have money!"
"I won't sell it to you even if I have money! Let's go!" the old man shouted in a deep voice, attracting a lot of attention.
Xu Huo held Jiao Cheng down and said, "Forget it if he doesn't sell it. I don't believe that you can't buy good things if you have money."
Jiao Cheng had no choice but to follow him and use a silencer after a while. "The only one here is the old man who is in the ore business. If he doesn't let go, you won't be able to buy it anywhere else."
"There's no rush." Xu Huo glanced at the nearby stalls, "See if there's anything good and buy two."
Seriously good props will not be sold here. Even those things that are not easily bought and sold by the dandy boys are still traded in other ways. Even in Jiao Cheng's opinion, these stalls are not that good.
The things are mostly chemicals or contaminants sold from a certain laboratory, or some damaged props waiting to be remade, or some messy ores.
There are also general props, most of which are stolen items and lost items, and the level is not too high.
Xu Huo bought some potions and looked at some damaged props, as if he really wanted to pick them up.
There were many eyes watching him in the passage, and even Jiao Cheng began to wonder what he was doing here.
The things here are indeed not valuable, but they represent the loopholes of Flower City, and this is the real value.
Someone can get some medicine from the laboratory, which means that he will definitely be able to contact people related to the laboratory, perhaps the staff there, or the family members of the staff. After making one or two connections, he will be inside the laboratory.
, being able to bring things out shows that the protection inside the laboratory is not 100%.
The same goes for mineral veins.
Xu Huo didn't really want to buy the ore, he just needed to find someone. Regardless of whether the business could continue, there was a breakthrough.
He didn't stay in the underground passage for too long before he and Jiao Cheng came out, but when they returned to the ground, they were followed by others.
"Go to the place where you usually stay." Xu Huo said.
Jiao Cheng looked reluctant, "If someone knows our identity, then you will leave..."
He could see that Xu Huo was going to cause trouble at some point. When he was done, he slapped his ass and left. Where would he and his companions go to settle the score?
Xu Huo looked at him and said, "If you can't go to your own place, can you go to other people's places?"
Jiao Cheng was shocked by his reasonableness.
Xu Huo smiled and said, "Do you think I'm easy to talk to?"
Jiao Cheng did not dare to delay any longer and quickly stopped the aircraft.
Of course, there are places where dangerous people gather in Flower City, but because of the government's coercive policies, these people rarely take to the streets openly - this can be regarded as a kind of resistance to uniform clothing.
Flower City has truly achieved control over the entire city, so every street in the city is full of aircraft. Even if they don't wear the same clothes, these people still live under the surveillance of the government.
"Most people won't go here." Jiao Cheng covered his mouth and said, "There are many people who died on the street for no reason."
Xu Huo nodded. From the moment they stepped into this area, at least twenty pairs of eyes stared at them - probably some people who were going crazy because of the suffocation. The evil of human nature has been magnified after evolution. It is not that easy to lock them in
easy.
"Brother, are you from the outer area?" A female player in cool clothes leaned out of a window on the second floor and said with a smile: "It's best to hire two bodyguards if you go inside. Do you want my sister to give you a ride?"
One ride?”
Behind the female player stood up two strong men who looked untouchable.
Jiao Cheng wanted to leave, but Xu Huo had already raised his head and talked to her, "I want to buy some ore, do you have any connections?"
