Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Under Theodore's proud and passionate introduction, as the lights came on, a huge venue came into view for Su Yang and Lin Anlan. They seemed to be at the top of the first floor, not the second floor, with five or six passageways below, divided into countless square grids.

Led by Theodore, Su Yang and Lin Anlan walked up the overhead passage. Once on the passage, Su Yang could finally see what those cubicles were. They were individual cells, and from above, one could clearly see that each cell held a living person.

"To our left are the female black servants, and to our right are the male black servants. You two can take a look around in the upper passage first, make a rough selection, and then go to the lower passage to choose more carefully." After saying that, he clapped his hands, and a large door below opened, from which six or seven burly men walked out.

Theodore said to the burly men, "Have all the black servants stand up and look up at our two distinguished guests!" The burly men obeyed and lashed their whips one by one at the solitary confinement cells, waking up all the so-called "black servants."

Su Yang then realized that the so-called black servant market was actually a slave market, and the people locked up here must have been kidnapped from other places. Thinking of this, Su Yang felt a sense of resistance. In his original world, he had only heard of human traffickers and various kinds of trade, but he had never seen them. After all, he lived in a peaceful country and had never experienced these so-called heinous events. Therefore, in his heart, these things should be condemned and were all sinful.

Lin Anlan remained silent, following Theodore without uttering a word. Su Yang looked down and saw gaunt and haggard faces. All the black servants were naked, standing there shivering in the cold. Some had even frozen to death, and burly men were dragging their corpses away as if they were trash, showing no pity or mercy.

The black-clad servants all bore scars of varying ages. Some of the more attractive female servants had fewer scars, while the prettier ones, though largely unscathed, were still quite thin and received better treatment, at least being provided with a blanket for warmth. Inside each private cell, a diverse array of characters emerged: some servants stared blankly at him, seemingly devoid of any will to live; others gazed with longing, hoping Su Yang and Lin Anlan would choose them; some wore sorrowful eyes; and some female servants displayed their bodies as leverage in the competition.

A pang of pity welled up in Su Yang's heart. These people might have once been someone else's one and only, cherished and protected. Su Yang couldn't bear to look down any further and turned his gaze to Lin Anlan beside him. He saw that her hands were clenched into fists, clearly angry about everything in front of her.

“Esteemed guests, do you have a black servant to your liking?” Theodore, who was walking in front, spoke up at this moment.

Lin Anlan asked first, "Besides these, are there any others?"

"Oh? It seems you two have very good taste. Alright, follow me." With that, Theodore led the two back into the passageway and continued winding their way upstairs.

Upon reaching the second floor, with the lights on, the scene before me wasn't much different from the first floor—still rows of single rooms. However, the facilities in the single rooms were somewhat better; at least everyone had a blanket and a simple bed. There were also more guards here, at least twice as many as on the first floor. The black servants imprisoned in the single rooms were both more handsome and stronger than those on the first floor, and their mental state seemed much better.

After circling the second floor, Theodore asked the same question again: "Distinguished guests, is there anything you like on this floor?"

His response was the same as Lin Anlan's question: "Is there anything better?"

“Distinguished guests, according to the rules, I must first examine the money you brought before I can lead you to the third floor. However, the boss has recently changed this rule. Today, since you two are destined to meet, I will take you to the third floor to make your selection.” After saying this, Theodore led Su Yang and his companion to the third floor.

Upon reaching the third floor, the layout changed. The cramped single rooms were gone, as was the elevated corridor. In their place was a passageway and spacious, well-equipped single cells.

As Theodore walked, he introduced, "The female servants on the third floor are all daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles. They are proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They are beautiful and have good figures. The male servants are all outstanding adventurers with strong physiques. Most of them are fourth or fifth-tier elementals with unlimited stamina. You two are welcome to take a look."

Following Theodore forward, the black servants locked in the solitary confinement cells were indeed as he had described. They all looked perfectly healthy and were fully clothed, but their eyes were filled with sorrow. When Su Yang and Lin Anlan passed by, some of the men and women took the initiative to walk to the iron bars and vigorously promoted themselves, all hoping to leave this dark and gloomy place.

A tearful voice reached Su Yang's ears. Su Yang couldn't bear to watch any longer, but he didn't want to get involved. The owner behind the Black Servant Market was no ordinary person, as someone who could kidnap a fifth-tier elementalist. Su Yang really didn't want to offend such an organization, so he could only walk forward in silence, hoping to leave this place as soon as possible.

After following Theodore through the last cell, Theodore asked again, "Gentlemen, now that you've finished touring everything, have you found a black servant you like?" But Theodore's tone was already somewhat unfriendly. He had seen many people, including some who were deliberately looking for trouble or trying to eliminate his relatives, but they were all easily dealt with by his henchmen.

Seeing Theodore staring intently at him, Su Yang felt a little nervous. He looked at Lin Anlan beside him, but Lin Anlan remained calm and said with her hands shrugged, "There's nothing here that I like. It seems that this place is not as good as the one I went to before. Let's go back to the original place to buy."

"Hehehehe." Theodore let out a strange laugh upon hearing this, then his expression changed, and he said in a gloomy tone, "I don't know how you two got past the outer sentries, but this place isn't a place you can come and go as you please! Guards!"

Several burly men immediately emerged from the passage behind them. They were armed and wore elemental bracelets that were already glowing, a sign that their elemental power had been activated. They were staring at Su Yang and Lin Anlan with hostile expressions. Su Yang thought to himself that things were not good. Judging from this situation, if he and Lin Anlan hadn't bought black servants here, they probably wouldn't have been able to avoid a fight.

Lin Anlan remained calm, revealing her bracelet, which emitted a bright red light. She looked at Theodore and threatened, "You really want to fight us?"
