Chapter 285: Talent! Too bad you don’t have much time left.
Zhou Ping took the secret manual for “Eighteen Palms of the Falling Dragon” and flipped it open. After reading a page, he threw it to the stall owner and turned to leave.
“Hey, why are you like this? I’ll show you the secret method honestly. Why do you want to run after reading it?” The stall owner grabbed Zhou Ping and refused to let him go.
“Eighteen Palms of the Falling Dragon? Anyone who wanted to cultivate according to your plaything would be considered lucky if they didn’t die.” Zhou Ping scoffed.
Zhou Ping had personally seen the secret manual of Eighteen Palms of the Falling Dragon. Not only had he seen it, but he had also deduced ‘Palm of Tathagata’ from it. Would Zhou Ping not be able to tell if the secret manual was fake? It had to be said that this fake secret manual was pretty much made up. If he didn’t have enough experience, he might really be fooled.
“Little brother, you can eat things randomly, but you can’t speak nonsense.”
The stall owner’s expression changed when he saw that Zhou Ping wasn’t fooled.
“You’ve already read the secret manuals. Don’t you want to buy it now?” The stall owner’s expression was sinister as he grabbed Zhou Ping’s hand and increased his strength.
“What? Are you planning to buy and sell forcefully?” Zhou Ping remained unmoved.
“This is the black market, but it doesn’t mean there’s no order. If you have the ability, you should try it. I’d like to see if you dare to do it.”
“Humph, kid, don’t refuse a toast. To tell you the truth, I have a relationship with the patrol team here.” The man snorted coldly and threatened.
“Oh? Really? Then why don’t you try?” How could Zhou Ping be afraid of the stall owner’s threat?
“You… Kid, you have guts. Don’t let me meet you outside!” When the stall owner saw that he couldn’t scare Zhou Ping, he released his grip resentfully.
“What happened?” At this moment, a pair of patrolmen noticed the abnormality and rushed over.
“This stall is trying to buy and sell, and he even said that he is related to the patrol team.” Zhou Ping pointed at the stall owner.
“Kid, don’t talk nonsense!”
The stall owner glared at Zhou Ping with a smile and looked at the patrolmen.
“Don’t listen to him. How dare I break the rules here? It was this kid who threatened me and said that if I wouldn’t give it to him at a low price, he would report me and say that I was forcing myself to buy and sell. I was the victim,” the stall owner turned the black and white and said to the patrolman.
“We will judge what’s going on. Little brother, please tell us what happened,” the patrol leader cupped his fists at Zhou Ping and said calmly.
Zhou Ping shrugged his shoulders and casually explained what had happened.Zhou Ping really didn’t care about these guys. Moreover, the black market must have its own rules. If they could buy and sell at will, the black market would not be able to continue.
As expected, after hearing Zhou Ping’s explanation, the patrolman’s expression immediately changed.
“Pack up your stall and come with us,” the patrolman said to the stall owner.
“Don’t, you can’t listen to his words.” The stall owner immediately became anxious.
“Hmph, we’re employed in the market. This market is our livelihood. If you ruin the reputation of the market, you will destroy our jobs. Moreover, we don’t know what kind of trash you are. If there is any explanation, we’ll leave it for later.” The patrolman waved his hand and two of his companions were about to get to the stall.
“No, no…I’ll do it myself.” The stall owner was also agitated. He quickly rolled up the stall and didn’t dare to resist. He obediently followed behind the patrol.
“Little brother, don’t worry. No one here can buy and sell forcefully. That guy had nothing to do with our patrol team. He was trying to scare you.” Turning around, the patrolman smiled at Zhou Ping.
“Is this your first time here? Most of the people here were familiar faces. That guy also saw that this little brother was unfamiliar with him and was alone, so he dared to scare you.
“But don’t worry, little brother. Our patrol team was carefully selected by the adults. They would never bend the law for personal gain or accept bribes. Little brother, please don’t worry about trading here. If there’s anything illegal, you just have to shout and our patrol team will arrive immediately,” the patrolman said proudly to Zhou Ping, as if joining the patrol was something extraordinary.
“Thank you very much.” Zhou Ping cupped his hands at the patrol member.
“It’s our duty.”
The patrolman waved his hand and left with his team member and the stall owner. When the stall owner passed by Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping silently patted the stall owner. This was very secretive. Not to mention the patrol members, even the stall owner himself did not notice it.
“Interesting, a black market can be so formal. However, it should be. The black market depended on reputation. If the reputation was destroyed, no one would come. This was related to whether or not the black market could continue to open. It was only right that the owner of the black market was so concerned.”
Zhou Ping watched as those people walked away. He was filled with emotion.
“However, there are many fakes in the black market. If I didn’t have enough experience, not to mention picking up a leak, it would be good if I didn’t fall for the trick. In particular, they must not be greedy. These people who dared to sell fakes had superb techniques. If I was greedy, I would inevitably fall into a trap.”
Recalling that the stall owner had first deceived him, the secret method was also made up to look real. The stall owner was planning to force him to buy it. After seeing that Zhou Ping wasn’t easy to fool, he pretended to have someone behind him. After this performance, the Oscar owed him a Best Actor. If he was really an inexperienced newcomer, he would definitely not be able to escape his methods.
“Talent! Too bad you don’t have much time left.” Zhou Ping shook his head.
It was clearly not the first time that the stall owner was so familiar with the situation. Zhou Ping hated people who forced themselves to buy and sell the most. He reminded Zhou Ping of those “good citizens” he met when he was still on Earth. His secret slap sent a thread of force into the stall owner’s body. If he wouldn’t the help of an expert, the stall owner wouldn’t survive for more than three days. It could also be considered revenge for the person he had tricked earlier.
The surrounding people did not react to all of this. They did not say anything, nor did they point at Zhou Ping. After all, everyone came here to get rich. If the stall owner didn’t do anything, what did it have to do with them?
Zhou Ping would not worry about this. After all, he was not at a disadvantage. Along the way, Zhou Ping looked at every single item seriously.
Zhou Ping shook his head.
The people here were also quite brave. Zhou Ping had just sold spider silk today, but someone here had already taken out a fake. They said that they had only gotten it today through a special channel, and they even talked about what happened today.
“If you don’t know what’s going on, it’s really easy to be fooled.” Zhou Ping sighed.
