Chapter 117 The Real Black Market
"it is good."
Xuan Luo brought Ying Sheng into a very retro building, which was also dominated by ancient style and looked particularly grand. There were various patterns of flowers, birds, mountains, rivers and scenery carved all around.
“There’s a sense of inner peace here.”
"Well, the boss here likes to study ancient buildings. It is said that a kind of construction technology and decorative style that was almost extinct before the disaster was applied by him here, so some technologies from hundreds of years ago can be seen everywhere here." Xuan Luo explained to Ying Sheng about the tables, chairs and benches made of mortise and tenon structures seen around him.
"Luo Ge knows it very well."
"I saved the boss here before, so I've been here a few times. When you quit the Sifang Society, I'll introduce them to you." It's too dangerous to let them know about Ying Sheng's existence now.
After eating a wide variety of dishes that were hardly filling, it was time for the night market to begin. Ying Sheng followed Xuan Luo from one of the streets into the brightly lit night market.
"It seems to be no different from the last time I came here to visit." Ying Sheng followed Xuan Luo with great interest and looked at the stalls around the street. He was a little disappointed. There were props without any function placed around. As for the elf eggs, he didn't see any.
"Those things are not here, follow me." Xuan Luo saw Ying Sheng's expression and knew what he was interested in. He took Ying Sheng's hand and shuttled through the streets in twists and turns.
Gradually, I met fewer and fewer people. There weren't many people dressed strangely, but their aura was stronger than each other.
Xuan Luo suddenly pulled Ying Sheng into a room, "Come on, Xiao Sheng, put it on."
"This is a concealment cloak!" Ying Sheng held up the cloth in his hand. This material is very rare, but you can still get the cloth if you look carefully. It's just that not many people can make this kind of cloth.
"Yes, we must not let anyone know our identities where we are going later." Xuan Luo, who had already put on his cloak, reached out and took back the cloak that Ying Sheng was looking at, and directly opened the cloak to help Ying Sheng put it on.
"Are you going to the black market?"
"Yes, Xiaosheng should have never been in there!" Xuan Luo, with a little pride, approached Yingsheng to seek praise.
"I haven't been there before. Brother Luo is so nice." He praised and rewarded Xuan Luo with a quick kiss, then focused his attention on the cloak on his body.
"This cloak actually has wide sleeves, the design is quite reasonable." Ying Sheng stretched out his arms. The large movements did not reveal any part of his body. An ordinary cloak could not do that.
"Yes, but the fabric used is more than usual, so in order to save fabric, we usually don't do this. Come and put this on." Xuan Luo took out another pair of gloves and mask to avoid exposing his identity through the features on his hands.
Ying Sheng took the two things in surprise, "So strict?"
"Pokémon have too many skills, you have to be on guard. Don't talk and just follow me." Xuan Luo reminded him, covered Ying Sheng's head with his hat, and then took him to their destination.
Xuan Luo brought Ying Sheng into a dilapidated wooden house that could barely block the view, and handed the black card with gold-plated patterns in his hand to a little old man.
"The black gold card allows you to bring three people in. The number of people meets the requirement. Please come in, sir!" The old man took the card, rubbed the surface of the card, then handed it back and made way for the passage behind him.
Xuan Luo nodded silently, took Ying Sheng's hand and walked towards the corridor. Ying Sheng, who was observing the room, felt the pull, reacted quickly, and followed Xuan Luo's footsteps.
At the end of the passage is a room without a door, where a Slowpoke is waiting. Slowpoke is a Pokémon that needs to wear the Certificate of King and evolve from Slowpoke because of the toxin that flowed through Slowpoke's brain when it was bitten by Shellder in the secret realm, which miraculously awakened its potential wisdom and awakened its extraordinary abilities.
Their intelligence is not lower than the average human IQ. In addition, the King's Certificate is rare, so the appearance of Slow King is not common. I didn't expect it to be so luxurious here.
Ying Sheng controlled the urge to take a few more glances and followed Xuan Luo's movements without looking away.
As soon as they walked into the room, they were teleported to another room by King Dai Dai the next second. Xuan Luo stood in front of Ying Sheng the moment he regained consciousness. The bright light was blocked by Xuan Luo's body, forming a shadow behind him, giving Ying Sheng time to adapt to the brightness here.
Although Ying Sheng was not stabbed by the light, he still felt warmed by Xuan Luo's actions.
"L...Brother, I'm fine." Since the identity has been hidden, the address should also be changed. Ying Sheng omitted the address with nouns, leaving only a word that most people would use when greeting.
"You did the right thing. Come on, little brother. I'll show you the black market world on the surface." Xuan Luo was not surprised by Ying Sheng's address. Even when Ying Sheng was around, he took care of him personally, but Ying Sheng was not a flower in a greenhouse after all. He had been in dark places for more than a decade. Without even this kind of sensitivity, how could he still be alive today?
As soon as he left the room, the noise filled Ying Sheng's ears.
There is a wide road outside the room. Although it is not large enough for two large Pokémon to walk side by side, it is still spacious enough for only one large Pokémon to walk.
On both sides of the road are two rows of houses that are identical to the ones behind you. This is actually the teleportation point to the black market.
"The black market is divided into four areas: the transmission area, the outer area, the inner area, and the central area."
"We are now in the transmission area. This row of houses is the entrance, and the opposite row is the exit. The vendors set up stalls here because it is convenient for them to enter and exit quickly. Secondly, although there are not many people here, they all need to enter and exit from here, so the sales rate of goods is not low."
"Of course, this is also because most of them are not very strong, or have other reasons. They can't gain a foothold in other areas, so they choose to set up stalls here."
Xuan Luo led Ying Sheng onto the main road and walked towards the center of the black market. "So the goods in the hands of the vendors here are just some low-value props or low-grade tree fruits and other things. They can be sold quickly to recover funds, but the profits they earn are also tiny."
"Products like elf eggs, even the lowest grade ones, won't appear in places like this."
As Xuan Luo explained, Ying Sheng gradually got to know the black market. The various black-robed people who came and went in a hurry, the stall owners who were either silent or talking, and the newcomers who walked and stopped and had a somewhat immature temperament and could not disguise themselves well, all felt new to him.
