Chapter 71 The Marketplace

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm a respectable person. What's with you suddenly taking off your clothes?"

"And you're a guy!"

Bai Ye really wanted to shout: My sexual orientation is normal.

The next moment, the stall owner carefully took out a knife.

The stall owner said, "This is a Zanpakuto!"

Bai Ye couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Isn't this the sword of a Soul Reaper?"

The stall owner nodded, "That's right. I worked very hard to get this thing. It's not ordinary merchandise."

Bai Ye became a little interested, and then a light screen appeared before his eyes.

Aoyagi (Zanpakuto) (White)...

Bai Ye only glanced at it, not even looking at its effects, and immediately lost interest.

"A white-quality Zanpakuto..." Bai Ye glanced at the stall owner and said, "Are you kidding me? The worst of the worst."

Zanpakuto itself is quite rare, a weapon exclusively for Soul Reapers, and not easy to obtain. However, a white-quality Zanpakuto is simply too bad. It's rare but not practical.

The stall owner said, "You're not supposed to use this to fight."

Bai Ye asked, "Are you supposed to dry clothes with it?"

The stall owner picked up a Gigai Pill and said, "Use this to separate your soul from your body, and then holding the Zanpakuto, you can impersonate a Soul Reaper and enter Seireitei. That's where Soul Reapers live, full of good stuff. One trip in will make you a fortune."

Bai Ye almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He glanced at the stall owner, his eyes conveying a clear message: You really dare to say it.

Seireitei is indeed the headquarters of Soul Reapers, and it's true that there are many good things, but...

Seireitei is actually a forbidden zone. Entering Seireitei will trigger missions, and the main opponents are the captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads. With Bai Ye's current strength, the only thing he needs to consider upon entering Seireitei is whether he can leave with his body intact.

After all, Seireitei is no ordinary forbidden zone, and the captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads are not to be trifled with. At least, Bai Ye believes that no one in the world battlefield can open the Seireitei forbidden zone at present. That will be something that happens in the middle stage of the world battlefield's progression.

Moreover, Bai Ye also knows some more secret information, which is that Seireitei is just a preliminary forbidden zone, linked to a more powerful forbidden zone called Hueco Mundo, which is the top forbidden zone in the spiritual region. Entering Seireitei is less about treasure and more about being able to enter Hueco Mundo.

Therefore, these are not things Bai Ye should be considering right now. If he didn't know that the stall owner in front of him couldn't possibly know the situation of Seireitei and was purely lying to sell something, Bai Ye would really want to slap him to death. This is not sending him to his death!

Thinking of this, Bai Ye immediately lost interest in this guy, a complete profiteer!

"Hey, hey, don't rush, I have more good stuff."

"Take a look, take a look!"

...

Bai Ye turned and walked away directly, ignoring the stall owner's calls. Judging from the items displayed on the stall owner's stall, which were all from the Soul Society, Bai Ye was certain that this guy was a coward who only dared to mingle in neutral areas. He probably had never left after arriving in the Soul Society. Such a person wouldn't have anything good.

In fact, after browsing for a while, Bai Ye found that most people in the market were like this.

Upon careful consideration, it's understandable. How long has the world battlefield been open? Everyone is currently trying to improve their strength, so it's almost impossible for their belongings to reach saturation. Only those who wander in neutral areas, without goals and with nothing to do, would start trading at this stage.

Bai Ye browsed for a while and felt that there wouldn't be anything of interest to him here, so he planned to leave. However, he saw a man enter the market, set up a sign, which read: Purchasing cursed items, or items from the Xianxia world.

After setting up the sign, the man sat aside, took out a piece of wood from his embrace, and began to carve it with a small knife.

"Hmm?" Bai Ye raised an eyebrow and walked up to the man, "Purchasing?"

The man looked up at Bai Ye and said, "If you have it, bring it out. Don't waste time."

He's got personality!

Bai Ye was amused. The man in front of him didn't look old, at most twenty-five or twenty-six. He was slightly thin, with a handsome face that still held a hint of youthfulness. But he gave Bai Ye a very strange feeling. His every move exuded a calm demeanor that didn't seem to belong to someone his age.

Bai Ye squatted down and said, "Contaminated Cross."

Although this thing was just brought out from the Death Game, Bai Ye wasn't very interested in it. Its green quality was barely usable, but its area-of-effect continuous damage wasn't very suitable for Bai Ye's combat style, nor did it have obvious synergy with his other items and abilities.

So, if he could exchange it for something useful, Bai Ye would be happy to do so, provided the other party had something he was interested in. Otherwise, he could keep it.

But what Bai Ye didn't expect was that the other party didn't think much of it. He looked up and said, "This is not enough."

Bai Ye couldn't help but say, "You have to show me what you have first, right?"

The man said, "Blue quality."

The man seemed to dislike talking, but Bai Ye understood. The man meant that regardless of whether the items were mutually appealing, he wouldn't consider them if the quality was a tier lower. Bai Ye needed to produce more items, or items of the same quality.

Bai Ye lifted the hem of his robe and said, "Golden Thread Robe, Immortal Treasure Garment, Blue quality."

The Golden Thread Robe was still useful. Although its effects weren't fully realized yet, who knew if he might get a powerful martial art to learn someday.

Moreover, Bai Ye actually had martial arts manuals, that incomplete scroll of the Sunflower Manual, but it would require sacrificing his little brother...

Forget it!

At the same time, the man looked up again, this time with a noticeable increase in interest in his eyes. He took out three items and said, "A set of jacket and pants, choose one."

The two items the man took out were a 9mm USP pistol, which was a world-famous gun, at least very famous in Bai Ye's world. However, unlike most 9mm USP pistols which were black, this one was silver, with rosewood panels inlaid on the grip.

The other item was a black military-style trench coat and pants.

And then...

Bai Ye's eyes lit up instantly. He didn't even need to use the light screen, he directly reached out and grabbed the set of clothes.

Because...

Bai Ye recognized this thing!

"I want this!" Bai Ye said to the other party decisively, "Want to trade?"

The man put down the wood carving he was holding, stopped carving, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Add a little more?"

...
