On the edge of the vast continent, there is a magical place blessed by nature.

It is close to the turbulent, boundless blue sea, and nestled against the deep, quiet valley with undulating hills.

This is a paradise of economic prosperity.

In the coastal ports, goods are piled up like mountains and ships are shuttling back and forth.

Huge cranes waved their steel arms, lifting and lowering boxes of precious cargo.

On the other side close to the land, factories are dotted like stars.

The smoke rising from the chimneys and the roar of machines interweave into a passionate melody of industrial development.

Sparks fly in steel mills, pipes crisscross in chemical plants, and yarns fly in textile factories.

Countless businessmen are active in the streets and alleys, discussing major deals.

In the bustling market, their figures constitute the unique landscape of this city, driving the economic wheel forward...

At the edge of the city, Zhang Yang and Nanqiang, who had just arrived, could not help but be shocked by the spectacular scene.

Carmona has experienced the devastation of war, and many wars are still going on.

But such a grand plan has been constructed here.

Although the buildings in the city are far less tall and dense than those in the past, they are also geared towards rapid development.

Compared with it, Bumed and Nied is really an insignificant town.

If Red City is the first miracle Zhang Yang has seen, then this place is the second miracle besides Red City!

The city of Ned is located on high ground, and they are now standing at a height where they can almost overlook the entire golden sea.

"Does Zhang Qi usually live here?" Nanqiang looked at the long row of bungalows and commercial streets in the distance: "It feels pretty good."

"Carmona...it can actually be like this." Due to limited vision, Zhang Yang could not see the seashore no matter how far he looked.

After all, they are now in the [Danlan District] of Jinhai.

If they want to see the sea, they have to reach [Shanghai City District].

"The auction will be held in [Shanghai City District]. Let's go there first."

There are still three days before the auction starts, and Zhang Yang plans to visit the most prosperous area of ​​Jinhai first.

"okay."

As they turned their sight, they had already passed the industrially dominated [Danlan District] and arrived in front of a hotel in the [Shanghai City District].

Now that you are here, you naturally want to experience the local characteristics.

After checking in, Zhang Yang and Nanqiang asked around and came to an underground trading market.

This market was indeed located underground. Zhang Yang and Nanqiang walked down a long staircase before finally arriving.

"It's so humid." Looking at the damp ground, Nanqiang couldn't help but sniff.

There was a mysterious and tense atmosphere in the air. The faint light was breathing in the corridor, barely illuminating this secret space.

After going down the stairs, the passage is narrow. Following the passage, you will soon arrive in front of a huge curtain.

When the curtain is lifted, the atmosphere inside is completely different!

"Come on, come on, blow one!"

"Big big! Fuck!"

When you walk into the market, you can feel an atmosphere that is completely different from the outside world.

On the left, many gamblers were cheering around the gambling table, and around the gambling area stood several masked security guards.

The security guard stood there motionless like a robot, holding an ordinary AK in his hand.

"Oh my god..." South Wall looked around and was dazzled by the scene here.

On the other side of the trading stall, all kinds of rare treasures were displayed on the stall, including gold cups, gold Rubik's cubes, diamond rings, palace porcelain... Among them were many rare treasures rarely seen in the world.

In a stand in front, a small auction was also going on fiercely.

"The next item to be auctioned is our core item this time - the pure gold balloon gift box!"

The auctioneer in a suit stood on the podium, his voice deep and provocative, and the golden object in his hand attracted the attention of many buyers.

“Ah, hush, hush…”

In the more distant areas, some arms transactions were taking place...

Zhang Yang admitted that he was a little overwhelmed.

The scale of this underground trading market is far larger than he imagined.

"Don't run around the south wall, it's not safe here." Zhang Yang noticed a few more powerful thugs who were chatting and laughing at the bar surrounding the arms deal.

The armed personnel here are not wearing the uniforms of the Niber Chamber of Commerce, so they must be the deep-rooted underground forces in Jinhai.

"A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake." Seeing the underground forces so rampant, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh again and again.

How can this be considered an underground transaction?

Apart from a staircase leading to the "underground" and a "curtain", there is no cover.

This is clearly a blatant transaction!

"Master, what does it mean that a strong dragon will not defeat a local snake?" Nanqiang was a little confused.

He knew that the "strong dragon" referred to the nominal boss of Jinhai - the Niber Chamber of Commerce. He also knew that the "local snakes" referred to these underground forces.

But it is obvious that the [Nebe Chamber of Commerce] has more powerful strength, so why can't it get rid of the local tyrants with weaker overall strength?

"Good question. It's rare that you think about it, so I'll try to answer it for you."

Under the contempt of Nanqiang, Zhang Yang spoke slowly.

"The meaning of this sentence is that although the powerful people from outside the area have strength, it is difficult for them to suppress the local people who have power and foundation."

"Local tyrants have been operating in the local area for many years and have often established extensive networks of personal connections in the local area. The interests of the people in these networks are all connected."

“So it’s hard to catch them all.”

"Secondly, local tyrants tend to have strong adaptability and survival capabilities. They are familiar with local rules and unspoken rules, and know how to navigate and gain benefits in complex environments."

"The most crucial point is the relationship between interests."

"Sometimes the conflicts between them are not absolute. You are still young, and you will slowly understand many things in the future."

Zhang Yang spoke slowly, his eyes constantly looking around the market.

"And it's just a common saying, not an absolute truth."

"Wasn't it reported some time ago that many underground forces in Jinhai were uprooted?"

"Although it was done by that gambler." Zhang Yang once suspected that the gambler was also a time traveler, and was most likely the champion of previous sessions.

Ron, if only the name had the word "奇" in it.

"Speaking of that 'Ron', did you investigate his information at the time?" Zhang Yang mentioned casually.

"Ron... I used the association's Sky Eye system to check, but there was no such person." Nanqiang was already used to this result.

Most people in Carmona have no identity information.

Only long-term residents of Red City will be entered into the system.

Most of the permanent residents of the Neiber Chamber of Commerce are also entered into the system of the Neiber Chamber of Commerce.

It is normal that we cannot find each other.

"That Ron is in Jinhai. I think there is a good chance that he is a time traveler. It wouldn't be a bad thing to get to know him." Zhang Yang supported his chin with his left hand and came up with an idea.

"Next time, use your identity and ask an official from the Niber Chamber of Commerce to borrow the system to check. I think we can get to know each other."

"Okay." Nanqiang took out his little notebook and wrote this down.
