“What? You saved my life?”
“We agreed to talk business and make big money together, how did it turn into you saving my life?”
“And… you’re really heavy-handed, kid!”
The goatee rubbed his swollen cheek, complaining with a mumbled voice. kAnshuWu.ξà
“This kid is carrying the green ring, yes, but the woman beside him is carrying a dark red one!”
“Our batch of reincarnators is taking orders from a new reincarnator, don’t you find that strange?”
“And… have you taken a good look at the little girl beside this man? Doesn’t she look like an Extinguisher?”
The slightly plump man reminded him with a solemn expression.
“Ah… this… it seems so… but I didn’t look closely either, I was just thinking about how to look cool and get Gromos!”
The goatee said in surprise.
Now that the slightly plump man reminded him, he finally remembered, indeed, the little girl beside Zhang Chen looked too much like an Extinguisher.
She was simply a juvenile version of an Extinguisher.
“A person who can make our batch of reincarnators bow their heads and obey, and can control Gromos and an Extinguisher… do you think he’s someone we can afford to offend?”
“Moreover, he clearly stated that he doesn’t like others knowing he tamed Gromos, yet you’re rushing to talk about it. Are you waiting to be silenced?!”
After the slightly plump man’s reminder, the goatee finally understood.
Indeed, if it came down to a fight, let alone Zhang Chen.
Gromos and the Extinguisher beside him were more than enough for him to handle.
The slightly plump man continued:
“Moreover, even if we were to trade, our level isn’t high enough to trade with him!”
“What’s the prerequisite for black market trading? Equal strength!”
“His trade can only be proposed by Boss Qian. A weakling applying for a trade with a strong person, what’s the difference between that and waiting to be robbed?”
So, the black market trading rule was equal strength trading.
This meant that if a weak person came to trade with a strong person, they were very likely to be ripped off.
Similarly, if a strong person sought out a weak person for trade, the strong person might directly kill the other party and seize their resources.
Therefore, Boss Qian’s black market developed equal strength trading, where survivors of different tiers traded with merchants of similar strength to ensure fair transactions.
This was also the reason why Boss Qian’s black market business was booming and rarely experienced incidents like robbery or reneging on debts.
“But… but I’ve already revealed that he tamed Gromos, will I be silenced?”
The goatee asked with lingering fear.
“Don’t worry, he’s a new batch of reincarnator, his personal information and name cannot be retrieved with our rings!”
“Even if he doesn’t know this, the female reincarnator from our batch who is beside him will definitely understand. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have left directly.”
The slightly plump man analyzed calmly.
“Then… that’s good, that’s good… Oh no!”
The goatee said “that’s good” twice, then his expression suddenly changed, and he said, “They are heading to the fourth walled city, we need to notify them to prepare!”
…
On the other side, on the train.
“Those two guys just now were really crazy, daring to trade with the Master, as if they didn’t want their lives!”
“With the Master’s strength, at least black market managers or higher-level experts would be qualified to deal with him.”
Shirley explained the black market trading principles to Zhang Chen.
The latter couldn’t help but nod repeatedly after hearing this.
“This is indeed a good method, it can put both parties at ease. This Boss Qian is not only powerful but also very skilled in management!”
Zhang Chen praised.
“Indeed, and this Boss Qian has extensive connections. Even reincarnators wearing yellow rings will give him some face!”
Shirley explained.
“Hmm, I’ll get to know him if I have the chance!”
Upon hearing Boss Qian, Zhang Chen couldn’t help but think of Isaac. He wondered what that guy was up to now…
Far away in Zhong’an City, Isaac was floating on an air mattress in a swimming pool, surrounded by beauties, sunbathing.
Zhong’an City had become a trading city, where anything could be bought with crystal cores.
Isaac had become the new master of this city, possessing a powerful mercenary group, and had become another formidable force in the Qi Mu country, besides the Revival Camp and the True God Cult.
“Achoo!”
Suddenly, he couldn’t help but sneeze, and goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body.
“It feels great to be a city lord. As long as that man isn’t here, every day is a happy day…”
“Speaking of which, none of those who crossed the strait have returned… It would be great if that man died over there~”
“No, that man can’t die. If someone as strong as him dies, wouldn’t that prove that there are even more terrifying existences in the world? I’d better pray that this man is still alive, I just hope he’s lost the ability to contact me, that would be best!”
Isaac thought to himself.
On the other side, on the train towards the fourth walled city…
It traveled smoothly without any hindrance.
Those two merchants had just come out of the fourth city, so there was no possibility of encountering any monsters along the way.
The train smoothly arrived at the fourth city.
The station here was built as luxuriously as the third city.
But what was different was that there was someone at this station!
A female merchant dressed in blue silk, with a golden thread embroidered on her sleeve, waited at the exit with a smile on her face.
Behind her stood a man in brown clothes.
“The previous merchants were level one merchants, this is a level two merchant, her strength and status are higher than those two!”
Shirley whispered.
“Mm!”
Zhang Chen nodded and walked out.
“Esteemed sir, you are the first distinguished guest to arrive at the black market, please accept our sincerest gift!”
The female merchant said, beckoning to the man beside her.
The latter slowly walked forward and knelt on the ground.
“The gift is a man?”
Zhang Chen was bewildered.
You should at least send a woman, at least it shows that this merchant understands a bit of human relationships…
What is this supposed to be?
Giving a man to a grown man?
The female merchant raised her right hand and clenched her fist out of thin air.
*Dong!*
The man kneeling before her instantly collapsed to the ground in pain.
His head struck the stone floor with a dull thud.
He died.
“We wish you a pleasant stay here~”
After the female merchant finished speaking, she bowed respectfully, and then with a few instantaneous flashes, she quickly left the platform.
Zhang Chen now understood that the gift was not this man, but was all stored in this man’s spatial ring!
Using people as items?
Shirley, seeing this scene, showed no change in expression.
She was long used to it…
Zhang Chen’s heart stirred: This is the true apocalypse…
