The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 31: Chasing Light Black Market
"Three hundred thousand bits?"

"So much?"

After hearing this, Lin Qi couldn't help but open his mouth wide. He didn't expect that the two sons of the deputy leader of the Baiyu Gang were so valuable, or rather, the deputy leader was too rich.

In this city of lights and feasting, those who can make it to the top of the gangs all have more than a dozen children, and some even have dozens. Their main goal is to have many children and bring them good fortune.

The reason for doing this is very simple.

Warriors change their destiny. As long as one of your children becomes a warrior, it is like winning the lottery.

In addition, with more children, the family power will also grow, thus obtaining more resources. For a person who can get the position of deputy leader of Baiyu Gang, he normally would not care too much about the life and death of his children, let alone offer a sky-high reward.

Unless one is extremely talented as a warrior, but if one really has the talent as a warrior, he would have been sent to a key high school in the city for training long ago and would not have been hanging around in the wild.

Now that the deputy leader of the Baiyu Gang is willing to spend 300,000 to offer a reward, it is really beyond expectations.

"Well, normally they wouldn't ask for such a high price. I heard that the Baiyu Gang suspected that some force was targeting them and specifically robbed their goods." Qin Mu said with a smile, "The 300,000 yuan is not so much about finding the murderer, but more about finding the force that is targeting the Baiyu Gang and completely eliminating it. After all, if they can be robbed once, there will definitely be a second and third time. This is something the Baiyu Gang will absolutely not tolerate."

"Indeed." Lin Qi also nodded in agreement.

He had indeed thought about this before.

Each robbery can yield more than 100 kilograms of blood-essence rice, which is more than 40,000 bits. This is undoubtedly much faster than growing it by yourself.

But this time it was purely an accident. If they really went to rob, they would be seeking death.

Under normal circumstances, if the six members of the Baiyu Gang were robbed, they would definitely use smart watches to notify nearby members so that their identities could be confirmed immediately. However, those six people wanted to keep the meat of the crocodile-tooth rhinoceros for themselves, so they blocked the smart watches to prevent any traitors from appearing among them and the benefits from being snatched away by other members of the gang. This gave them an opportunity.

Otherwise, at this time, it would not be Bai Yu who came to offer a reward for the escaped person, but would have attacked directly.

The Baiyu Gang suspected that it was done by other gangs in the wild, and there was a reason for that.

Normally, devices that can block smart watch signals are not affordable for ordinary people. They are usually only affordable by gangs that specialize in robbing gangs. Therefore, the Baiyu Gang suspects that it was done by a gang this time.

"I don't know which gang this is, but they're really powerful. They even dared to rob the Baiyu Gang." Qin Mu said with some admiration. "The Baiyu Gang is ranked in the top 100 among the many wild gangs. Although there are no quasi-warriors in the gang, there are several extreme apprentices. If you don't have a certain level of strength, you really don't dare to provoke them."

"Yeah." Lin Qi nodded repeatedly, with an expression that said, "It has nothing to do with me." "I don't know which gang is so powerful."

Although I have known for a long time that the Baiyu Gang is not easy to deal with, I didn't expect them to be so strong. There are several extreme apprentices, which is equivalent to having several Qin Mu. If they are discovered, they will definitely be dead.

"When you go out recently, you must be careful. Your new gang was probably established not long ago. Don't provoke other gangs in the wild. If you do, I'm afraid I can't protect you." Qin Mu nodded and looked at Lin Qi and whispered.

"We? Gang?" Lin Qi's eyes were full of surprise when he heard Qin Mu say that.

"Isn't it the Iron Shovel Gang? Or the Shovel Gang? The Gray Gang?" Qin Mu asked curiously. "I usually see you all wearing the same uniform, all holding alloy shovels. Didn't you even go out into the wild together yesterday?"

"Yeah, that's right! I didn't expect that Brother Qin Mu would find out." Lin Qi nodded with a wry smile.

Unexpectedly, Qin Mu mistook the players' joint actions for a newly formed gang. However, after thinking about it, it was normal. The so-called gang in the City of Light was just a team composed of a group of weaklings.

But Qin Mu's misunderstanding is also a good thing. In this way, the players who show up at the Obsidian Martial Arts School in the future, as well as the behavior of many other players, will not be suspected by other vagrants in the abandoned area, making it much easier to do things.

"You little guys still have to be careful in the wild. Saving your life is the first priority. Don't lose your life for a few bits, or you will have nothing left." Qin Mu looked at Lin Qi who admitted it, and patted Lin Qi on the shoulder, looking very pleased.

"There are opportunities only if you have life. When you develop in the future, maybe you can also benefit our abandoned area."

After saying that, Qin Mu turned around and left, running to check somewhere else.

"It seems that the blood essence rice is not easy to sell."

Lin Qi looked at the bounties posted on the White Feather Gang members on the streets and realized that it was impossible to sell the blood-essence rice recently, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion. After all, the deaths of six White Feather Gang members were suspected to be done by other gangs.

But if undocumented vagrants suddenly sell a large amount of blood-essence rice, it is not difficult to imagine that it is related to the death of the six members of the Baiyu Gang.

However, the meat of crocodile-tooth rhinoceros is not easy to sell either. After all, crocodile-tooth rhinoceros can only be killed by warriors. How can an illegal vagrant be worthy of it?

"It seems that I can only take the risk and go to the black market." Lin Qi thought about it and planned to disguise himself and go to the black market.

The City of Chasing Light is very large, with a population of tens of millions. However, because there are a large number of undocumented vagrants, there are also many shady trading markets on the outskirts of the city.

These trading markets are all managed by the big gangs in the suburbs of the city. When they are called trading, they are actually trading with these big gangs. There are two major benefits of trading in these trading markets.

First, they will not ask where the items being sold come from.

Second, there's no identity inquiry; all transactions are settled on the spot, and both the buyer and the seller are paid. These two factors lead to the widespread private transactions of undocumented vagrants and gang members, making it more difficult to track down items and their identities. However, this also has a major drawback: the prices of the items sold are generally much lower, akin to buying safety.

The city chasing light, the phosphorus trading market.

Although it was already dark with only a bright moon in the sky, it was already time for ordinary residents living in the City of Light to go to bed, but the Phosphorus Fire Trading Market was brightly lit and bustling with people.

The Phosphorus Fire Trading Market is a trading market controlled by a large gang of the Half-Scale Clan. Because the Half-Scale Clan has become stronger recently, the trading market has become even more popular.

"Buy or sell?"

At the front desk of the market, there was a woman with golden vertical pupils, more than two meters tall, a long black tail swinging back and forth, and a few scales on her cheeks. She glanced at Lin Qi, a petite girl wearing a metal mask, who walked into the room, and her words were full of indifference.

"Both buying and selling." Lin Qi was used to this and stated his request directly.

In the world of high martial arts, the strong are respected, and body size is often an external manifestation. Even though he now has the data of a normal person, his body size has not changed at all.

"What to buy? What to sell?" asked the Half-Scale woman calmly.

"I want to buy a battery for a tricycle and three sets of repair tools. Used ones will do." Lin Qi said, and then put down the large metal box he was carrying. "Here are the crocodile teeth and rhino meat I want to sell."

"Crocodile-tooth rhinoceros meat?" The Half-Scaled woman looked at Lin Qi in surprise. She didn't expect that Lin Qi would have this kind of meat for sale.

The meat of wild monsters is a treasure that can improve qi and blood. Even warriors eat the meat of these monsters on a daily basis to speed up their improvement. It has always been a good thing in short supply. Even if ordinary people get it, they will keep it for themselves to eat slowly. After all, improving one's own strength is the fundamental thing.

"You can weigh them. I'll sell them all if the price is right." Lin Qi didn't explain, but just opened the big metal box.

This large metal box is filled with the meat that Lin Qi had cut with great difficulty from the crocodile-tooth rhinoceros. Originally, Lin Qi planned to bring people and push a large tricycle to sell it, but considering the issue of concealing his identity, it is better to act alone.

Although the amount that can be carried at one time is small, it is more secretive.

As for letting players do it, it will definitely expose many price issues in the game. In the end, it will be the best option for him to do it alone.

"Indeed." The Half-Scaled woman looked at the ball of meat filled with rich energy and called a Half-Scaled guard, "Go weigh it."

A Half-Scale man wearing azure armor walked up to the table and started to weigh the large metal box in one hand, as if he was holding a toy.

"A6-level armor?" Lin Qi looked at the armor worn by the Half-Scale Clan guards with envy on his face.

Battle armor is different from protective gear. The protective gear worn by Qin Mu and others in battle only has a simple protective function, while battle armor can not only protect the whole body, but also has certain auxiliary functions, just like Iron Man, which can enhance the strength and speed of the wearer.

A6-level armor can almost allow an ultimate apprentice to have the strength and speed of an ultimate quasi-warrior, while it is difficult for a quasi-warrior to hurt A6-level armor.

"Not bad." The Half-Scaled woman nodded and said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Xia Ling. If you like it, we at Phosphorus Fire are not in a position to sell this type of battle armor."

"How much?" Lin Qi asked curiously.

"A brand new one costs eight million bits. If it's second-hand, it would only cost six million." Xia Ling smiled, not caring at all whether Lin Qi could afford it or not.

"Good stuff. If I have the chance in the future, I will consider it." Lin Qi looked at the Half-Scale Clan guard who returned with a heavy heart. It would be a lie to say that he didn't want one.

If he had a good thing that could allow an extreme apprentice to suppress an extreme quasi-warrior, it would not be impossible for him to fight against the entire Baiyu Gang alone.

"The total weight is 167.3 kilograms." The Half-Scale guard replied.

"Over a hundred kilograms?" Xia Ling nodded, looked at Lin Qi and said, "How about this, little brother? One kilogram of crocodile-tooth rhino meat on the market is 670 bits. You've sold quite a lot, so I can give you one kilogram for 650 bits. I'll round it up for you, so how about 109000 bits?"

"Okay." Lin Qi was a little surprised that Xia Ling would offer such a reasonable price. If you don't make money, you're a fool. As for the weight, it was about the same as he estimated. "Then what about what I want?"

"I'll give you three sets of repair tools as gifts, little brother. As for the battery for the tricycle, how about 19000 Bits?" Xia Ling said with a smile. "If you agree, I can transfer Bits to you right now. Of course, you can also ask for cash."

"Let's use cash. It's more reliable for me." Lin Qi chose cash without hesitation. Electronic transfers are easy to track, but cash cannot be tracked.

"Okay." Xia Ling looked up and glanced at the guard beside her. "Go get everything."

The Half-Scale Clan guards didn't hesitate at all and went straight to get the things and bits that Lin Qi wanted.

It was not until Lin Qi took all the things out of the trading room that the Half-Scale Clan guard standing beside Xia Ling spoke.

"Miss, the meat of the crocodile-toothed rhinoceros is rare. How about I go and investigate the whereabouts of that guy right now?" The Half-Scale Clan guard looked at Lin Qi who was leaving, his eyes becoming smart.
