Chapter 283: Black Market
Chapter 283: Black Market
Zhou Ping had to spend his credits and strengthen himself. The first place he had to go was naturally the library. This library didn’t contain normal books, but martial arts secret books. This place was also an open place in the country. As long as you had enough credit, you could read the secret books in it.
However, when Zhou Ping left the library, he was disappointed.
“The secret books in the library are not only extremely expensive, but they are also of a lower quality than First Class’s Scripture Depository. I totally don’t like this kind of secret manual.”
After leaving the library, Zhou Ping shook his head.
“After all, this library is open to the public. As long as you have credit, you can go in and study. How could there be something really good in a place like this? Hai, I should have thought of it. It was just that she wasn’t willing to see it with her own eyes. But I’ve really seen it, so I’m inevitably disappointed.”
In the First Class Camp, they only needed to spend a small amount of credit to view the secret books at will. Moreover, the quality of the secret books inside was quite high. There were many secret books that weren’t of a high level, but the new ideas inside were all very ingenious.
In the library, the secret books were not only charged by the book, the price was very high. Moreover, the secret books in the library were all arranged according to the rules. Not to mention there were no new ones, the quality was still very low. They even included ordinary white techniques.
However, this was normal. What was the special department? It was a place where the country had personally cultivated talents. To put it bluntly, all of them were loyal to the country. The country would definitely not be so stingy towards its own people. As long as you had the ability, you didn’t have to worry about eating too much. You could learn as much as you want. The stronger you were, the happier the country was.
But since the library was open to the public, who could guarantee that anyone who went to study would be able to use it for the country? Naturally, the price was very high and the quality was very low. This was the so-called good cultivation in the six doors. If one did not join a certain faction, it would naturally be difficult to cultivate. On the contrary, as long as he joined a large organization, many of the things that the outside world could only hope for were within reach.
Zhou Ping couldn’t find what he wanted so he could only leave the library. However, Zhou Ping was not disappointed. He regained his composure and walked to another place.
Zhou Ping was going to a trading market.
This base was like a city. Since it was a city, there were naturally many places to do business. However, these trading places were not the trading market that Zhou Ping was going to go to.
The so-called trading market had a more appropriate name, the black market. Since it was the black market, there were naturally many good things in it. However, this wasn’t the place where the country started, so no one could guarantee that the so-called “good stuff” inside was real.
In the black market, trading depended entirely on his eyesight. If he picked something good, he would naturally be delighted. But if he was tricked and made a mistake, he wouldn’t be able to blame the heavens.
The black market here was still the first class student who told Zhou Ping while chatting. Zhou Ping had never seen such a black market before. In the black market, there were many things that couldn’t be sold easily. However, whether he could find something that suited him or not depended on his eyes.
It was hard to tell if it was real or fake. The black market depended on foresight.
Zhou Ping had also asked how the country could allow such a black market to exist. In the end, after Qin Yin mocked him, he told Zhou Ping that although this base of the Secret Realm was relatively peaceful and had a legal existence, it was nothing but a naked predator. Since it was the law of the jungle, then naturally, there was no lack of killing and seizing treasures.
Since there was a matter of killing someone and seizing a treasure, there would naturally be a private transaction. Rather than letting such a transaction go to private, it was better for the state to secretly monitor it. As for how to monitor it? That was the matter of the state department.
Since it was a black market, naturally, it wouldn’t be in a very lively place. Many people thought that if the people behind the black market had a clear eye, they would be able to make this kind of gray business public. But in reality, this was impossible.
What was the secret realm? It was the country’s most important place. No matter how old you are, how big can you be? Even if there were a few people who dared to break the law, even if you were all located far away. Under the watchful eyes of the country, no matter how much energy you have, as long as you dare to act openly, you will be guaranteed that the country will teach you how to behave.
Besides, he was doing business in a grey industry. If it was really in a lively and prosperous area, not to mention anything else, those who came to trade would not dare to be at ease. How many of the people who did bad things weren’t careful? To them, making them feel safe was the first priority.
Therefore, the black market was not located in a prosperous base. Instead, it was located in a remote and hidden place.
This was extremely impressive. Being able to drive inside the base was enough to show the power of the master behind the black market. Of course, there were some small black markets that were opened outside the base. However, not only was there no guarantee for the safety of this kind of black market, there was also a change of place every once in a while. It was impossible for it to grow up, and it was also incomplete.
The black market was in the north of the city. Zhou Ping walked along the city wall. In a very remote place, a simple two-storey restaurant appeared in Zhou Ping’s sight.
“Return hotel?”
Zhou Ping walked to the restaurant and nodded as he looked at the shabby and greasy signboard.
“It’s here.”
As they walked into the restaurant, a waiter greeted them.
“Welcome. What do you want to eat?”
The so-called waiter was an aunty who was dressed in ordinary clothes. Zhou Ping looked around the restaurant. It was filled with ordinary tables and chairs. It was just an ordinary restaurant. A sign with a red background and black words was hung on the wall. It had the words “Egg Fried Rice”, ” Boiled Pork Slices”, and other common food and prices. There were only two service personnel.
It was ordinary. If it weren’t for the people who knew about it, no one would have guessed that this was a black market entrance.
“I’m not here to eat.” Zhou Ping didn’t stand on ceremony and said to the waitress.
“Ah? We’re a restaurant. If you’re not here for dinner, what are you here for?” The auntie looked up and down at Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping looked around and saw that there was no one around. He took out a black card from his pocket.
“I’ m going to the black market.”
“Black market? What black market? Brother, don’t talk nonsense. We are all business people,” the auntie said, but she quickly took the card from Zhou Ping. She handed the card to a younger waiter who immediately turned around and entered the kitchen.
