Cataclysm King - #59 - Chapter 59: Big Ivan Secret Treasure Shop
Chapter 59 Great Ivan Secret Treasure Shop
The large cemetery on the outskirts of the city is now a temporary hunter camp, with tens of thousands of people piled up.
Beside the railway, there were all kinds of magically modified locomotives, heavy armed trucks, and even various supply shops came over.
The bonfire was raging, and it was very lively.
In addition to professional hunters, there are also intelligence merchants and people from major gangs in the city, a mixed bag of fish and dragons.
In contrast, there were not many people in the Governor’s Mansion, and some bright lights that coincided with the layout of the battle formation could be seen on the high ground far away.
One side is scattered, the other side is rigorous, and the two forces are clearly separated.
There was no result before, and the two sides were able to restrain themselves before.
Now that the exit of the maze has reappeared, no one from the Governor’s Mansion has come out, and everyone understands that the Governor’s party is gone.
The entire camp exploded in an instant.
The hunters flocked away.
The situation is better than expected, and the body suit is useless.
Ji Xun and the two changed into their adventurous outfits again, pretending to be new hunters, and inquired from the camp intelligence merchant.
One person did leave the space eight hours ago.
But without making any noise, it disappeared.
Getting the news, Ji Xun and Nan Jing also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don’t know where he went after Chu Jiu came out, it should be the best situation if he wasn’t intercepted on the spot.
In this wilderness, as long as you are not trapped, you are mostly safe.
Ji Xun didn’t intend to stay longer at the Great Cemetery Camp, and spent some money to take a ride back to Innocence City.
Nan Jing did not go back to the city together, and after saying goodbye, she disappeared into the darkness by herself.
Ji Xun knew that she was worried about Chu Jiu, so he didn’t try to persuade her.
What’s more, this lady psychic is a first-level spell card master herself. Although she often gets confused, her combat effectiveness is not weak.
Worrying about her might as well worry about herself.
Moreover, Ji Xun even speculated that the forces behind Chu Jiu and the others were not small, and their stronghold might not be in the city of innocence.
Not long after, Ji Xun returned to Innocence City.
I checked the time, it was still early.
Ji Xun’s first thought was to go to the black market on Dark Rain Street first.
With so much loot in his hand, he wanted to convert it into combat power as much as possible and buy some equipment.
Ji Xun carefully traveled all the way, and took the intercity train to the black market on Anyu Street in Beicheng.
Last time when the black market in Dark Rain Street broke out, the Cao family’s hidden piles in the lower city were almost cleared up.
Now that Governor Cao Sihai is dead again, the Fourth Young Master of the Cao family probably won’t have time to trouble himself in a short time.
Ji Xun was not careless, and now he put on a clown mask when he went to crowded places.
Then entered the dark street.
He needs good things, which are difficult to find on the ordinary market, and the loot in his hand is very sensitive, so he can only find a way to sell it on the black market.
The reason why the black market is called a black market is because it is niche, high-end, and invisible.
However, this time, I didn’t expect the black market to change drastically.
The last time I came, the whole street was like a ghost street.
The lights in the shop are dim, and the pedestrians hide their heads and show their tails.
However, this time, when Ji Xun just entered the street, he thought he had made a mistake.
What the **** is this blinding neon sign?
Looking again, those small shops in the style of mysterious shantytowns were overshadowed.
Instead, more than a dozen newly renovated stores with eye-catching signs have been added.
“what’s the situation?”
Ji Xun stood on the covered bridge overlooking Dark Rain Street.
I wanted to observe and observe the environment, but suddenly became confused.
The shops on the black market before were more mysterious than the other. A wooden board with a random name on it was considered a signboard, and each one was hidden deeper than the other. Like an assassin with a hood covering his face, it seems that he is afraid that strangers will guess what it is selling.
However.
How can there be eye-catching neon lights like the dozens of new stores in front of you?
What about “Bermuda Chamber of Commerce Branch”, “Martin Military Machinery Shop”, “Scarlet Witch Pharmacy Shop”, “Lawson Boutique Card House”.
These names are not small workshops.
It gives people the feeling of a large chain store.
Ji Xun looked at the surging crowd on the street like going to a market, the corners of his eyes twitched violently.
Is this still a black market?
If you haven’t been here before, those familiar dilapidated shops are still there.
Ji Xun thought that the black market had moved.
After all, he came here to buy things. It doesn’t matter what the black market has become, as long as the store is still open, it doesn’t matter to Ji Xun.
“Could it be that the black market on Dark Rain Street still has the term ‘going to the market’?”
He walked into the crowd with such doubts.
After walking for a while, and listening to the communication of passers-by, it suddenly dawned on me.
It turns out that this is directly related to the maze in the Great Cemetery he just came out of.
Before, the Cao family was appointed as the governor of Innocence City, so according to the federal law, the noble lords have all the administrative power and management rights of Innocence City.
So the chambers of commerce and consortiums that came to Innocence City before all made good friends with the Cao family.
In order to ensure the monopoly of interests, not only the number of chambers of commerce is small, but also because Cao Jiaxin is too eager to control the Nuggets Wharf leading to the Old Continent.
This also led to the unanimous xenophobia of the major gangs in the downtown area.
Almost any foreign chamber of commerce came to open a store, either the transport vehicle was robbed, the warehouse was stolen, or the storefront was smashed.
Anyway, none of them can keep driving.
This has also caused the innocent city black market to maintain the most primitive chaotic style of black eating black and black for black.
However, just seven days ago, the situation suddenly changed.
The news of Governor Cao Sihai’s attack spread like wings throughout Innocence City, and also to other lords of the Bonanza layer.
The Cao family used some political means to obtain the development of Innocence City, but they have not controlled the Nuggets Wharf for such a long time, which made other members of the federation quite critical.
Now Cao Sihai can’t even save his own life, so naturally no one believes that he has the ability to control Innocence City.
After the council re-voted, the Cao family of Dragon City couldn’t withstand the pressure and released the exclusive management right of Innocence City.
But after the debate, no one got the exclusive right.
Simply open to everyone.
As soon as this decree came out, the large consortiums of the chamber of commerce in the rich mineral layer flocked one by one like hunting dogs smelling blood.
The current Innocence City is like a land without owner, everyone wants to get a share.
After all, this place is connected to the treasure land known as “gold everywhere” in the Old Continent.
And when a large consortium enters a new market, the favorite thing is naturally discounts!
I heard that the market on the side of the Hunter Union on Gro Street is more lively, with hundreds of new large shops.
Even in the black market on Dark Rain Street, there are several powerful consortiums wading through the water.
Black market water depth,
Strong wind and waves,
does not matter.
The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.
“I heard that the ‘Big Ivan’s Secret Treasure Shop’, which has only opened for two days, offers a 20% discount on the site! Purchases over 100,000 yuan will also give you a lucky draw, at least you can win prizes worth tens of thousands of yuan. I heard that there is a lucky guy , won a copy of the Silver Breathing Method worth over one million.”
“Not to mention these new shops, they have a complete range of things and the prices are cheap.”
“It’s not only sold cheap, but also received kindly. There is a special appraiser to estimate the price, and I’m not afraid of being scammed.”
“But, these are all shops opened by those big chaebols in the rich mine layer. Is there any conspiracy?”
“Hey, who cares, isn’t this a good thing for us hunters? Once you buy and sell, you can at least get 30% more profit. I would like to open more of these shops.”
“.”
The pedestrians on the street are very lively.
After all, there are discounts and promotions, and it is not a chat address. People who want to buy come here all at once.
There are naturally more people on the street.
People in Innocence City are hostile to federal nobles, not merchants.
Especially businessmen who don’t have an official background on the surface.
After all, merchants control most of social resources, such as factories, farms, transportation and so on.
They brought cheaper medicine, food, daily necessities, and a lot of sophisticated equipment.
This is a great thing for hunters.
Besides, large commercial firms have a good reputation, so they don’t have to worry about being hacked and forced to buy and sell.
Don’t look at gangsters and criminals, they are all ruthless people who kill without blinking an eye.
But it is often this kind of person who cares most about benefits.
Although the order of Innocence City is under the control of several gangsters, they can’t force everyone to buy high-priced items, right?
For a while, the newly opened shop was very popular.
After walking for a while on Dark Rain Street, Ji Xun already understood a lot.
Looking at myself trapped in the maze for a few days, such a big change has taken place in the city of innocence.
He also thought of something else.
Before, Ji Xun was wondering who was so bold as to dare to kill Governor Cao Sihai.
Normally.
Governor Cao is dead, whoever benefits the most will be the most suspected.
That is to say, the major gangsters in the lower city of Innocence City have motives. After all, it is those people who are now hostile to the Governor’s Mansion.
But looking at this posture now, it is really uncertain.
The ones who benefit the most seem to be the political enemies of the Cao family?
But it seems that the result is no different.
The person who planned to ambush Cao Sihai never showed up.
Now it’s not gangsters, too.
“It’s getting more and more interesting”
Ji Xun thought of this.
It doesn’t matter to him whoever is the lord.
Just be lively.
He also followed the direction of the crowd, wanting to see the newly opened shops.
His money was also earned by working hard, so it is better to buy things cheaper.
New store opening promotion, he is also happy to hear.
It didn’t take long to walk to a newly opened shop.
There are already hundreds of people around here.
Before changing to another one, there might not be so many customers in a single street.
Ji Xun was in the crowd, looked around and found nothing unusual, then looked in the shop window, there were indeed many good things.
And the melon-eaters watching the opening obviously know more.
“Hiss, what is the origin of this ‘Great Ivan’s Secret Treasure Shop’? It sells the latest military machinery and equipment from the Federation? And the price is 20% cheaper than on the market. How much money will you lose on this day?”
“Losing money? Not necessarily. Didn’t you see that they took out all the ancient relics? The whole process can be traded without missing treasures. Many people who have illegal goods in their hands have come to sell them. Today they collected a lot of good things. thing.”
“I heard that this is a branch of the ‘Black Gold Chamber of Commerce’. The boss has great energy. It is said that many treasures were transferred from the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce for the opening, such as black iron and silver breathing methods, many of which are secret methods of the noble legion. And There are only skill training cards that can be seen in the auction house occasionally, and there are even various treasures of gold quality.”
“.”
Ji Xun listened to others talking about the newly opened shop, and chuckled inwardly.
Child care does have child care, but the news is also true.
He has also heard of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce.
Hundreds of years ago, he made his fortune in coal mining, and now his business territory covers all walks of life. This is one of the real top chaebols in the Federation.
People in this world are not very familiar with business routines.
Ji Xun listened to it, but it wasn’t novel at all.
The rich and powerful capital in the previous life entered the new market, first burned a few hundred million, occupied the market, and killed all the competitors.
Then the family dominates.
The plutocrats know it well.
Looking at this move, Ji Xun knew that those “small workshops” in Innocence City were about to undergo a major reshuffle.
Can the canteen compare with the big supermarket?
If others don’t have it, I have it; if others have it, I’m superior;
Originally, there is another biggest difference between the black market and the ordinary market, that is, the boss of the black market dares to accept some goods that others dare not accept, and also dares to sell some that others dare not sell.
After all, there is a foundation of trust. For some gangsters and predators who specialize in killing people and stealing goods, the black market is a stable sales channel.
Ji Xun came here this time to see if he could sell those hot items.
This kind of shady business is destined to be small, and it cannot be made public.
However,
This “Big Ivan” shop broke this point.
Because an ancient relic was placed at its door.
It was a mechanical beckoning cat that looked like it was made of brass.
Ji Xun took a look, and found that it was still an ancient relic.
【Gold Swallowing Lucky Cat】
Detailed explanation: Class II ancient relic; after providing reference samples, it can be used for item value appraisal, the more reference samples, the more accurate the identification data; using this relic requires feeding precious metals;
Ji Xun came to this world and saw a lot of weird things, and he didn’t feel strange when he saw this lucky cat.
“This relic is very suitable for the black market”
As soon as he saw the effect of the relic displayed by enlightenment, he immediately knew why there were so many people in this shop.
Because if you want to sell those shady goods in the black market, you must find a trustworthy store, otherwise the probability of being blacked out is extremely high.
still has to be identified.
The price is as much as the appraiser says.
The black market collects stolen goods, usually at extremely low prices, and there is a risk of exposure.
But the relic in front of him completely dispelled all worries.
Don’t need human eyes in the whole process, you can identify it without Lubao!
While Ji Xun was looking at it, a mysterious guy wearing a gas mask took a few cards that he didn’t know what they were, and put them on the tray of the mechanical lucky cat.
Listening to the creaking of the gears, the Lucky Cat swallowed the cards in the tray into its big mouth.
It seems that there is some magical operation process. After a while, the light screen above the head of the Lucky Cat shows: the value is 350,000.
The store manager on the side had a bright smile on his face, and asked, “Is this customer satisfied with the appraisal price? If not, you can choose to terminate the transaction and return the goods.”
Seeing this number, the hunter who took out the card obviously couldn’t hide his joy, and said repeatedly: “Satisfied! Satisfied!”
These things have to be exchanged for other shops on the black market, because the origin is sensitive, and they can sell up to 200,000.
And this mechanical cat directly evaluated its original market price.
The deacon heard the words and said with a smile: “The deal is concluded!”
The hunter got the money in no time.
The goods did not show up during the whole process, and the transaction was completed by relying on the identification of the mechanical cat.
Seeing this, Ji Xun’s eyes flashed.
This mechanical cat gave him a big surprise.
The safest shipping channel he could think of before was the “Silver Star Mysterious Shop” introduced by Dong Qi.
But even if there is a transaction, the risk is still very high.
After all, as long as whoever takes out so many frost knight trophies now, a fool can guess that it came from the Great Cemetery.
Space 407 has brought enough troubles, and if the murder of the governor of the large cemetery is involved, Ji Xun reckons that he will become the number one object of attention in the city of innocence.
Complete black box trading, less risky than looking for anyone.
Moreover, this “Big Ivan Secret Treasure Shop” is a newcomer, and it has only opened in the black market, so it will definitely not do anything to smash the signboard.
Ji Xun came here and followed the crowd.
He wanted to go to the store to see what it was selling.
People keep going to the mechanical cat to sell things.
Ji Xun didn’t look much, and walked into the store.
As soon as I entered, I was eye-opened by the things displayed in the locker.
【T3 Heavy Siege Cannon】Price: ¥688W
[Thunder Breathing Method·Silver] Price: ¥155W
【Famous Artifact Loto’s Thunderstorm Sword】Price: ¥180 million
【Skill·Wave Fist】Price: ¥2000W
【.】
Ji Xun looked over, and there were some samples in the window, involving machinery, cards, equipment, potions…almost all the goods that hunters need.
The machinery and equipment are all products of a military factory named after the Federation, not a small workshop.
Cards, potions, etc. are also hung with the anti-counterfeiting seal of the big factory.
All of them are fine products.
And the price is also very beautiful.
There is not a single thing in the window for less than a million.
In general, a million-dollar item in a store is already considered the treasure of the store. What’s the situation with this 180 million famous item?
Ji Xun has been in the city of innocence since he traveled, and he has never seen such a luxurious scene.
Are the chaebols in this world so powerful?
When he saw the [Technique·Wave Fist], he was also very surprised: “And, this shop actually sells skill training cards?”
