Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

However, Zhou Ning still maintained a certain degree of vigilance. Who knows if it is possible that the five-minute delay just now caused him to encounter or miss some key plot?

At this time, the rain was getting heavier, but there was still a big full moon hanging in the sky. This was a moon shower that was quite common in island climates.

Standing in front of an ordinary-looking shop, Zhou Ning put away his umbrella and looked at the scene in front of him. It was similar to the underground market in Daklan. There were also many entrances to the black market, controlled by different forces to separate ordinary people from extraordinary people.

Elsa said, "The black market here was originally the church of the Curse Cult. It has a very special feature: the entrance is fixed, but the exit is random. It could be somewhere on the top of a mountain, or it could be teleported to the port. It's said that this was designed by the Curse Cult to facilitate escape, but now it has become the foundation of the black market."

She glanced at her pocket watch and shook her head.

"We're a little late today and just missed an auction. Haha, I heard you can find a lot of good stuff here, but most of them are dark-themed."

Zhou Ning nodded to show his understanding. The most important things in transactions on the extraordinary side are confidentiality and security. This place has all of these, so it's no wonder it has become the largest black market on the ocean.

At this time, there were two kangaroos transporting goods in front of them, which happened to occupy the entrance. Zhou Ning and his companions waited for nearly 3 minutes before they finished delivering the goods.

"I wonder if this is an accident or a coincidence?" Zhou Ning shook his head slightly, followed Elsa into the store, and glanced around.

This was an ordinary ready-to-wear clothing store. Elsa walked straight to the back door of the store without stopping.

"Everyone, this is private property. No entering."

Two big men in black suits and indigenous turbans stopped a few people and spoke in a deep voice.

“We are the customers here.”

Erza showed them a thick stack of Vecta.

"please!"

The two big men's faces changed, and they immediately made way, and even took the initiative to help them open the door handle.

Squeak!

The iron door behind him opened with a crashing sound.

There was a relatively spacious passage ahead, which could accommodate three or four people passing side by side, but there were surprisingly many people coming in and out. Elsa had to hold on to his clothes tightly to barely avoid being squeezed away.

Zhou Ning stepped aside to make way for a kangaroo carrying goods. He could feel the extremely strong aura of the spiritual world and the aura of many extraordinary people in front of him. Not long after, a layer of black film appeared in front of him, which must be the entrance to the black market.

After squeezing through the film, the view suddenly opened up. In front of me was a temple with a gloomy architectural style. There were eighteen huge pillars shaped like human bones around it, seven on the left and eleven on the right. It really looked like the architectural style of the Curse Cult.

Between the ten pillars in the middle are stone buildings of different sizes, which should be more powerful shops.

The eight pillars on the outside are connected together by small stalls, stretching for more than a thousand meters. Judging from the thick fog and extremely light wood around them, it does have the characteristics of being half spiritual and half real.

There are also quite a few extraordinary people around, as many as a thousand. Occasionally, among the crowd, you can see alchemical puppets patrolling on their own and parrots flying in the air that can communicate with humans without any obstacles. The latter are also trained by druids and are usually responsible for acting cute to attract business.

There were also a few ordinary people who yearned for the extraordinary, walking enthusiastically among the stalls of all sizes, exclaiming from time to time.

Zhou Ning nodded unconsciously. It must be said that the mysterious goods here are quite complete, with items such as moonstone, citrine, various talismans, etc., and the quality varies.

Things like mithril and the refined gold that Zhou Ning had spent a lot of money on before are also available here, but the price is not cheap, and he is not stupid.

The three players also had things they wanted to buy. Zhou Ning simply told Elsa that they would meet at the entrance later. Zhou Ning walked around the black market for a while and found that although there were many people setting up stalls here, the items were not of mixed quality, but at least they were terrible, comparable to an antique market, and there was basically nothing useful.

Occasionally, there is a good thing, but the price is still two to three times the normal price, so I am afraid of being at a disadvantage.

Zhou Ning came to a street stall where some relatively rare materials were sold, ranging from arcanite, mithril, fine gold, bronze, gold... everything was available.

It has to be said that the materials on this street stall still gave him a little surprise. They were very cheap. After obtaining the war expert template, he had a costume recipe: [Iron Man Suit] required a large amount of rare metals. Although the quantity here was not much, it was at least a small gain.

Zhou Ning paid generously, packed up all the rare metals on the stall, put them into his ring, and walked towards the next stall.

His spirituality spread outward inch by inch, exploring everything around him.

But he was soon disappointed. The stall he just visited was considered "clear stream", and after taking a look around, he was speechless.

The goods here are basically designed to deceive outsiders. For an entry-level extraordinary weapon, these black-hearted merchants dare to sell it for 300 Vekta!

I have come to this world and visited similar black markets countless times, but have never found a bargain. Could it be that my halo as the protagonist is photoshopped in?

After walking around the surrounding stalls in disbelief, Zhou Ning bought a few old books introducing supernatural knowledge at a bookstall and walked towards the shop in the middle with resignation.

Although the things in the store are generally more expensive than outside, at least the quality is guaranteed and the prices are reasonable.

Not far away, Zhou Ning saw Elsa walking into a shop with a sword, axe and hammer logo. Judging from the logo, this was a shop selling materials, talismans, weapons and armor. His eyes moved slightly.

With the help of his observation Haki, Zhou Ning felt a very strong spirituality in this shop.

Frankly speaking, he felt a stronger spiritual presence diagonally across from this shop - this was an auction house, and the door was closed at the moment. It should be the auction that Elsa mentioned that they missed.

Zhou Ning thought about it and simply followed Elsa into the store. With the Dao-Seeking Jade form, he had no shortage of weapons, but he still needed to improve his protective gear.

"Are you here too?"

Seeing Zhou Ning come in, Elsa smiled and said hello to him, and then naturally walked into the store with him. Zhou Ning subconsciously thought she was going to say, "I'll pay for everything tonight."

Although the store is not big, his perception is good and the quality of the goods here is quite good.

On the left side of both sides are a row of swords and guns, and on the right are axes and hammers. The glass cabinet in the middle displays a large number of firearms and armor, both men's and women's. Several pieces of armor are very spiritual.

I walked around the store for a while, but before I decided what to buy, a native shop assistant wearing a black vest and bow tie came over and asked politely:

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Zhou Ning thought for a moment and smiled, "I'd like to buy a few medium or light-weight pieces of supernatural armor. They should be lighter and more effective, the better. Any recommendations? Price isn't an issue."

"Extraordinary armor?"

The clerk smiled sincerely and led him forward to the counter. He took out a pair of black riding boots and said, "These boots are from the enchanter Morata. They come with the level 1 magic of Swift Steps and the level 2 magic of Feather Fall. Swift Steps is permanent, but Feather Fall can only be used 20 times. 2200 Victar. Would you like to try them?"

2200 Vectra? This price was quite outrageous. Zhou Ning was shocked by it. Although he was rich, he didn't mean to be taken advantage of. Subconsciously shaking his head, he said, "Let me take a look at the others."

The boots were finally bought by Elsa, who happily paid for them with a look of injustice on her face.

After walking around, Zhou Ning cast his gaze on a black wide-brimmed hat in the corner. Among the surrounding objects, this one had the most spiritual color.

He was about to walk over to pick it up and take a look, but for some reason, his heart suddenly started pounding. It was as if his intuition was telling him that something was about to happen. This was not right... Zhou Ning frowned slightly.
