I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

To get into the Black City government, Jiang He needed an introduction. She searched all over the StarNet for posts and finally found an introducer by spending some money.

As soon as she arrived at the black market, she logged into another account on StarNet and sent a message to the person who introduced her.

[Redwood: I've arrived, right at the entrance to the black market in Shanyang City.]

Athena: Received, I'm here. I'm on the right side of the entrance, the one in the yellow dress.

As Jiang He looked down to check the messages, she suddenly looked up and saw a person dressed in yellow who stood out.

Jiang He put the screen away before walking towards Athena.

"I am mahogany."

"Hello, Miss Redwood. I'm Athena. Nice to meet you. Would you be interested in learning about our business?"

Athena smiled and handed Jiang He a flyer; her voice was incredibly penetrating.

As he spoke, he stuffed a flyer into Jiang He's hand, along with a business card.

The scene seemed somewhat familiar, and Jiang He looked at the newcomer's appearance.

He seemed somewhat similar to the man who handed out business cards in that little secret place that day.

Jiang He frowned and took the flyer. The flyer prominently displayed the product information of Golden Bull Trading Company, including wolf tooth potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes.

According to information obtained by Jiang He, the Golden Bull Trading Company was founded by Prometheus.

Combining their online names, Prometheus and Athena, the result is obvious.

The person in front of me is most likely Prometheus, the owner of the Old Rabbit Shop.

Jiang He didn't ask any questions but silently followed behind Athena.

"Young lady, if you're not interested in the trading company, we can talk about something else. Is this your first time at the black market? There happen to be several auctions today."

If you're interested in the auction, we can talk about it. My information is that they're not expensive; you can ask around and you'll see. My Athena sold for the lowest price…”

Zhang San led the way, talking non-stop. The black market guards, seeing the gemstone ring on the introducer's hand, quickly let the two into the black market.

Zhang San looked at the woman in black who remained silent.

The introducer's task was almost complete, and the two were about to part ways at the entrance. He knew he wouldn't be able to sell any more business.

Zhang San didn't dwell on it; he wasn't the type to pester someone relentlessly.

Jiang He glanced at Zhang San at the opportune moment:

How much would it cost to hire you for a day?

"??? Young lady, please have some self-respect. I sell my art, not my body."

Zhang San hugged himself tightly, looking like a submissive wife.

Jiang He sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"How many Star Coins would it cost to buy your news for one day?"

"Oh, this one, it's a package deal."

I know it well, I know it well.

Zhang San gave an awkward laugh.

Then his eyes lit up.

A big customer has arrived!

Zhang San immediately raised his right index finger:

One million star coins.

Jiang He frowned:

"Too expensive, at most 100,000 star coins."

Jiang He's bargaining hit the nail on the head, leaving Zhang San looking troubled.

"Oh, Miss Redwood, we don't do business like this. I make a living by following these insider tips."

"100,000 star coins is too little. How about 900,000? We're referrers, after all. I'll give you a friendly price, a discount of 100,000."

"A regular message on Black costs 1000 Star Coins. If I ask 1,000 questions a day, I won't break even. 100,000 is the maximum I can offer."

Seeing that Jiang He knew so much detail, Zhang San quickly smiled ingratiatingly:

"Haha, I was just joking. How about I cut my own price to 500,000 star coins? Any lower and my whole day would have been for nothing."

"One hundred thousand."

"Oh, young lady, let's add a little more. 100,000 really isn't enough. How about 200,000, or 300,000?"

"I don't have that much money on me, so forget it, I'll look for someone else."

Jiang He was about to leave when Zhang San quickly followed.

"Alright, alright, add another 100,000, or 200,000, is that alright?"

"Row."

Seeing that the price had reached his expected level, Jiang He quickly opened his personal terminal to complete the transaction. Unexpectedly, when Jiang He opened the payment page on his personal terminal, a prompt popped up.

"Please note that you have entered an unknown area."

Be mindful of payment security and exercise caution when making transactions.

Goodness, even quantum computers have anti-fraud functions these days.

Jiang He will close the prompt and then continue paying.

Upon seeing that half of the money had been deposited into his account, Zhang San quickly reverted to his obsequious manner:

"Boss, what kind of information do you want to find out? I, Athena, am known in the black market as the 'Know-It-All'. I guarantee I can get your 200,000 back by providing you with all the information you need."

"I'll contact you in an hour, and we'll communicate via wireless headset."

"okay."

Once you enter the black market, the rules become much more numerous.

For example, black market transactions have rules such as not asking where someone comes from and prohibiting fighting.

Since the items in the black market had no legitimate channels, the network signal on Jiang He's computer became very poor as soon as he entered the black market; only the payment function remained intact.

To make contact in the black market, you need to create a special black market communication number, which is usually only valid for 24 hours.

You can contact them via a communication number that uses an internal black market network.

Jiang He and Zhang San communicated via a communication number.

The two were also equipped with corresponding headsets, namely wireless headsets, which is a technology from many years ago.

As long as there is a satellite, communication can be established.

It's somewhat similar to the radios Jiang He knows.

Jiang He entered the black market for two main purposes: first, to sell some of the wolf tooth potatoes and milk tea she had stockpiled; and second, to find a suitable staff at the black market auction.

Of course, Jiang He would also bid on other items that she liked.

Jiang He doesn't want too many people to know about the sale of goods for the time being.

The black market and StarNet are the best platforms.

StarNet has strong control and strictly protects user privacy.

The black market, on the other hand, is often the opposite. Most items on the black market have unknown origins, and user privacy is often compromised.

Everyone who enters the black market wears a mask; no matter how much you peel back, you can only uncover the outer layer of their identity.

That's why Jiang He decided to make the trip.

Following the information she gathered, Jiang He located the black market goods assessment center.

Upon entering Jiang He, he placed the open mustard seed bag inside, and the assessment required a payment of 10,000 star coins.

This is considered an upfront handling fee.

After Jiang He paid, he transferred all the inventory to the black market warehouse through a safe, and waited for a price.

The black market sees countless items flowing in and out daily, including all sorts of rare and precious treasures; these dishes should be able to be detected by testing.

If the black market deems something valuable, they will contact Jiang He through a temporary communication number he created to discuss pricing. Generally, only AI will conduct the review and communication.

Jiang He returned to where Zhang San was after finishing everything.
