Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

"Why so many?"

Xuan Li raised his eyebrows. He had originally estimated it to be 10 or 20 million Dini, but the current price was far beyond his expectations.

He had no idea about money, but he understood what the word "billion" meant.

"Sir, the connection between you and Titan Technology is truly remarkable. Honestly, if these ether materials were sold on the underground black market, they wouldn't fetch this much."

"Because only Titan Technology understands its value."

After hesitating for a moment, as if to express his sincerity, the man in the suit decided to completely answer Xuan Li's doubts. He straightened his expression and said

"Titan Technology, a member of TOPS Financial Alliance, possesses a wealth of high-tech expertise and boasts one of the best research institutes in New Aili."

"Our biggest partner is the military. We are involved in everything from equipping the Public Security Bureau with weapons to equipping the Defense Force with heavy firepower facilities."

After briefly describing the status of Titan Technology, he continued

"With these materials available for scientific research, those cutting-edge scientific researches that have been stagnant are likely to advance further."

At this point, the man in the suit was already a little excited.

"So, sir, do you understand its value to us?"

Xuan Li nodded. He already understood from the story told by the person in front of him.

Where there is demand, there is a market. For Titan Technology, the ether material it has purified is obviously in high demand and hard to come by.

Twenty-one billion is a pleasant surprise.

"I'm a little curious. Since it's so precious, why don't you just rob it and force me to reveal the source of this ether?"

After hearing this, the man in the suit seemed to have not expected Xuan Li to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and explained calmly:

"Sir, you still don't have a clear understanding of Titan Technology. Things like Dingni are really just a string of numbers."

"For us, the impact and risks of our enmity with you cannot be compensated by any amount of Dinnies."

"Even if there's only a one percent risk, it's not worth doing what you're talking about because of Dinny. It's unnecessary."

The monetary system is customized and maintained by Cailian and the government. If it weren't for Dingni's raw materials as a check and balance in the system, I'm afraid it could be manipulated at will by the higher-ups.

So Dinny is not a big deal.

To put it bluntly, the child is holding precious porcelain in his hand, and you can obviously exchange it for a piece of candy. Why bother to snatch it and risk breaking the porcelain?

After saying these words, the man in the suit couldn't help but feel proud of Titan Technology, but what surprised him was that Xuan Li remained calm.

He lowered his posture again.

After the payment was made, the man in the suit clapped his hands, and several people wearing armor very similar to that of the sheriff came out, carefully collected the etheric substance on the ground, and then took it away.

"I wonder if you still need to trade? I can take you to the underground black market."

The man in the suit saw that Xuan Li didn't know much about this place and took the initiative to bring up this matter.

He just needed to leave the store to his subordinates. He just came out to sit down because he was worried about how to improve the situation in the Janus District. He was lucky to meet Xuan Li.

"Okay, please."

Xuan Li naturally had no need to refuse the man's kindness.

The man in the suit nodded, walked to the huge bookshelf, and after fiddling with it for a while, the bookshelf slowly opened.

A passage that could accommodate two or three people walking side by side emerged.

"Sir, please."

The man in the suit led the way, followed closely by Xuan Li, who was wearing a mask, and Panda, who was wearing a simple disguise.

"Sir, you can just call me Dirk."

The passage is bright and looks like it is newly built.

Seeing Xuan Li's curiosity about the passage, Dirk smiled and said

"There are three channels in the entire underground black market, and this is the fourth one."

“There’s one across from the tea shop, which is controlled by the largest livelihood enterprise in Janus District.”

"Besides that, there's also a powerful criminal group of cave robbers and a powerful family..."

While introducing themselves, the two of them walked downstairs.

"Dirk, you said before that you're new here and don't have much foundation. I'm a little curious. If your description is correct, with Titan Technology's strength, you wouldn't be unable to even gain a foothold, right?"

The two of them were one in front and one behind. When Deke heard Xuan Li's words, he immediately replied

"Sir, as the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot overpower a local snake. Furthermore, Titan Technology's focus has always been on Hollow Zero. Not to mention the underground black market, we actually don't have any foundation in the Janus District."

"Even if you are powerful, you can't achieve success overnight."

Dirk was chatting with Xuan Li, and he found that this mysterious man who could produce that kind of ether substance did not seem difficult to contact.

This made him more optimistic about future cooperation.

Soon, the two arrived at the end of the passage.

The front suddenly becomes clear.

Xuan Li stopped and observed the underground black market through the mask.

"Tsk...it's like a new world."

"Haha, sir, you are right."

"There aren't any large-scale black markets in the two districts adjacent to Janus District. This place basically absorbs the empty transactions of the three districts."

"This is a new world for those engaged in empty industry!"

……

Xuan Li had nothing to do. To him, a trip to the underground black market was no different from strolling around.

Gradually, with Dirk's introduction, Xuan Li's understanding of this place became deeper.

In front of a store selling video footage of the void.

Xuan Li stood quietly.

"Those who frequent this place are usually those who want to obtain specific information. Look over there, sir."

"It just arrived an hour ago. It's the video footage of what Envision Industries did in the dead-end cave."

"As someone who enjoys watching the fun, I've already bought a copy."

Dirk introduced the items in the store to Xuanli.

"It is said that there are some images and videos about 'Fire Pickers', but I don't know when they will be available."

"You know the Fire Picker, right?"

"I know."

Xuan Li nodded, retracted his gaze, and looked at Deke Dao

"I'm fine here. I'll take your business card. You can go about your own business. I won't bother you any more."

Now he has an understanding of the underground black market. Dirk is of little use, and Xuan Li doesn't like anyone following him.

Hearing this, Dirk looked delighted and nodded, not minding Xuan Li's attitude at all.

Accepting the business card shows a clear attitude of cooperation.

He was already satisfied.

"Sir, I'll have someone pack up your audio engines and give them to you when you leave."

After saying that, Dirk said goodbye to Xuan Li and left the underground black market.

"Hmm? (Boss?)"

Only after Dirk left did Panda stop keeping silent and raised his head to look at Xuan Li.
