After entering the alley, Leo walked straight to a group of children, took out five bias notes, and said: "I want to go to the Helmet and Fish Tavern. Whoever takes me there will have these five bias."

After hearing Leo's words, these children all looked eager to try, but with a cough, a little boy wearing a blue shirt and a small tricorn hat came out, and all the children restrained themselves.

This little boy, who was dressed like an adult and had a dirty face, walked up to Leo and saluted Leo like some adults, saying: "Dear sir, I know the location of the Helmet and the Fish and Meat Tavern. I can take you there.

Go, but I need ten pia."

"Okay, here's the deposit." Regarding this behavior of raising the price, Leo didn't say much. He directly stuffed the five-biah note into the little boy's hand and said, "The remaining five-biah is here."

I’ll give you more space.”

"Please follow me." The little boy stuffed the banknotes into his pocket, turned around, and ran deeper into the alley.

Leo followed, and under the leadership of the little boy, he shuttled back and forth through the maze-like alleys, quickly heading towards the center of the fish market.

For about ten minutes, the little boy led Leo through a small alley and came to a small square, where he stopped. Pointing to the tavern with a helmet and a fish on the sign in front, he said, "We've arrived.

"

Leo took out the remaining five peas, handed it to the little boy, and said, "Next time you lead the way, just take it directly to the destination. There is no need to deliberately take a ten-minute detour."

"Aren't I worried that you think the road is too short and it's not worth spending ten pia?" The little boy quickly took the remaining five pia, without any embarrassment at being exposed, and said with a smile.

It turns out that the little boy just now deliberately took Leo on a ten-minute long detour between the houses in the fish market. Leo, who had long constructed a terrain map through his mental network, found it easily. However, at that time,

He didn't expose the other party, he just wanted to see what this little boy wanted to do? Was he planning to lead him into a trap?

Unexpectedly, it turned out that because this place was only a few houses away from the entrance of the alley where he entered, and could be reached in two steps, the other party was worried that he thought it was too close and was unwilling to pay, so he took a long detour.

Although it is a little annoying to be led back and forth through dark alleys with sewage flowing across the ground and feces falling from your head at any time for no reason, it is not without its benefits. At least those who are following are easily

Get rid of them, saving him the trouble of killing these people personally.

The little boy carefully put away the five peas, and when he was about to leave, he stopped again and said to Leo, who was walking towards the tavern: "Sir, you are a cheerful man. Not only did you give me the money happily, but you also did not blame my little boy.

Wrong, so I will give you another tip. After entering, be more ruthless, even if you kill someone, it doesn’t matter, because it will save you a lot of trouble."

After saying that, I saw him taking small steps and quickly getting into a group of drunkards. His hands quickly touched the waists of those people and disappeared into the crowd.

"Interesting little guy!" Leo smiled when he saw this scene. He felt that the little boy seemed to know his purpose of entering the tavern, but he didn't think about it carefully and turned around and continued walking towards the tavern.

Arriving at the door of the tavern, Leo pushed the door open and was greeted by a heat wave that was completely different from the cold atmosphere outside, mixed with the smell of low-quality beer, men's and women's sweat, and cheap perfume.

Leo's arrival did not affect the carnival going on in the pub. A group of coolies wearing rough canvas trousers and sleeveless pullovers were throwing away the money they earned throughout the day, low-quality beer and plump waitresses.

They only want to live and die drunkenly, and they don't care about other things in the outside world.

There were only a few burly men wearing pullovers sitting in the shadowed corner of the tavern, but they could respond to each other and monitor every part of the tavern. When Leo walked in, their eyes glanced at him.

Looking at the weapons under the desk or in their clothes, it was obvious that Leo had put a lot of pressure on them.

Leo ignored these people, walked directly to the bar, took out the black market access card from his pocket and placed it on the table.

The reason why Leo knew about the Fish Market and the Helm and Fish, a slum tavern that even the locals of Milia City might not know, was all because of this black card.

When Leo left the building of the Velen Medical Association, the black card on his body seemed to be activated, releasing a stream of psychic information, and Leo, who was closest, naturally became the recipient.

The information is very short, just two place names, Fish Market and Helmet and Fish Tavern.

Obviously these two place names refer to the location of the black market in Miria City, so Leo came up with the idea of ​​going to the black market.

He came to the black market not only to see what was being traded in this mysterious black market, but also to find a suitable buyer for the supernatural cells in his body.

In addition, let’s see if we can purchase a batch of special bullets, because relying solely on the queen to convert ammunition will be a drop in the bucket if the current situation continues, and we need to buy in large quantities for reserves. And this kind of special bullets are controlled products in any country.

You can't buy it on the market at all, so you can only try your luck on the black market.

Finally, there is another thing that I just thought of on the way, which is to see if I can collect information about the house that the old man in the villa mentioned in the black market. This can save him most of his time and also allow him to collect more detailed information.

After showing the black card in front of the bartender, the bartender put down the wine utensils in his hands, turned around and found a hidden pull ring on the wine cabinet, and pulled it twice.

After a while, an old man wearing a tuxedo and a top hat walked out of the small door leading to the back of the tavern. He was incompatible with the surrounding environment.

He walked up to Leo, looked at the black card on the table, saluted Leo, and said, "Guest, please come with me."

After saying that, he turned around and led the way. Leo picked up the black card and followed behind. After entering through the small door of the tavern, he walked up the stairs to the second floor of the tavern, and walked from a small overpass on the second floor to the adjacent house.

In this house, the old man stopped and said to Leo: "Guest, please give me your black card for inspection."

Leo didn't say anything, took out the black card and handed it over.

The old man took the black card and walked to a half-man tall mechanical device next to the house. Then he saw that he inserted the black card into a specific slot of the device and pulled a small push rod next to the device. A steam engine burst.

A unique mechanical sound came out, and the gears on the device began to rotate automatically. From time to time, bursts of steam came out of the pipes next to it. Then the ten test tube-like things at the top of the device were injected with some fluorescent gas and lit up one after another.

It stopped at the eighth time.

Seeing the eighth test tube lit up by fluorescent gas, the old man was a little surprised. He was stunned for a moment, then pulled the push rod back, turned off the machine, pulled out the black card, and handed it back to Leo.

At this time, Leo saw that there were eight more stars on the black card that originally had no pattern. According to his inspection, these eight stars did not look like they were engraved on them, but more like they were on their own.

It exists, but it was covered up by something. The operation just now should have removed the covering.

The old man said to Leo very respectfully: "You are an eight-star guest of our black market. You can enjoy corresponding discounts when you buy items from us. In addition, you can get 80% commission reduction for any items you sell here."

After saying that, the old man led Leo down the stairs, passed through several rooms, and came to a door. He motioned Leo to choose a cloak and a mask from the wardrobe next to the door.

Leo randomly picked a black cloak to cover his body, and then picked a bird-shaped mask similar to the beak mask used by doctors and put it on his face.

At this time, the old man opened the door and led Leo in.

Behind this door is a place similar to a small theater, which is funnel-shaped, surrounded by boxes, and each box has a special entrance and exit.

In the center of the bottom of the funnel, where the stage should have been, there is now a stone round platform. The light from dozens of special crystal lamps around it are all concentrated on the stone platform, allowing people in the surrounding boxes to easily see the stone platform clearly.

things on.

"Please wait a moment, there are still twenty-three minutes until this black market transaction." The old man indicated that Leo could sit on the chair near the box window, and then asked: "Does the guest need anything to drink?"

"No need!" Leo walked over and sat down, then looked around and asked the old man standing by with some confusion: "Isn't there a list of items for sale?"

"Guest, this is your first time to the black market. I'm afraid you don't understand the rules of our black market." The old man explained carefully: "Our black market only provides a safe and reliable place for customers who need to trade items, and provides a way to test the value of items.

Professionals, we do not directly participate in transactions. If the customer is unwilling to sell or buy items publicly here, you can also inform us, and we will help the customer contact the appropriate sellers and buyers. The customer will negotiate the purchase and sale price among himself and be responsible for it.

Item inspection. Of course, for every transaction in the black market, we will take a portion of the commission."

"I have an item I want to sell. See if it's difficult to arrange it first." Leo took out a box from his backpack, took out the Ability God Cells inside, and placed it on the table next to him.

.

"It's the Ability God Cell. I haven't seen this thing for a long time." The old man easily identified the Ability God Cell, and then saw him walking to the side of the room, opening a cabinet, and taking out a typewriter-sized

Put the mechanical box on the table, put the Ability God cells on the tray on the box, then grab the lever next to the box and turn it slowly.

I saw that the gears of this mechanical box began to engage with each other as the levers rotated, and then some small mechanical arms stretched out from around the tray. Each of the mechanical arms had a prism that was constantly flashing light.

As the speed of the old man turning the lever changed, these mechanical arms seemed to be rotating around the Ability God Cells on the tray according to specific rules, and from time to time some light emitted from the prism passed through the Ability God Cells and fell to

On the edge of the tray are metal beans that react to light.

These metal beans will produce some color changes after being hit by light. When all the small beans have changed, the old man stopped turning the lever, and the small beans and the surrounding prisms sank into the box, followed by a rod on the box.

The graduated test tube began to be filled with fluorescent gas. The fluorescent gas rose straight up and stopped when it reached a position between five and six. The color of the fluorescent gas also changed from red to light green.

"It's a level 5 Ability God Cell, a type of human mutation, but it has some flaws and cannot reach level 6." The old man found a delicate small box, took off the Ability God Cell on the tray, and put it into it.

Then he wrote the results of the inspection on a card and asked: "Guest, are you ready to trade money or return the items?"

"Trading money." Although Leo now has money for food, clothing, housing and transportation, he does not have the money to buy precious items such as special bullets.

After hearing this, the old man wrote these requirements on a piece of paper, then inserted the piece of paper into the slot on the lid of the box, sealed the box, placed it on the small platform of the window, and pulled the ring.

After a while, someone came up to take away the items and left a deed to certify the items.

While waiting for the black market to open, Leo wanted to release the spiritual net and check the surrounding situation, but he soon discovered that there was also an interference energy field in this house similar to that of the old man in the villa.

However, the interference energy field here was much weaker. He felt that if he increased the input of psychic energy and increased the penetration of the mental network, he should be able to break through the influence of the force field, but he did not do so after thinking about it.

Because since these people can open a black market in a place like Miria City, they are naturally fully prepared. If they break through the influence of the force field but touch other arrangements of the black market, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

As the mechanical clock in the room rang, a middle-aged man also wearing a top hat and a tuxedo walked to the platform, then said some words to the surrounding boxes, and then started to get down to business, placing the Ability God Cells in the

Take out the box, place it on the platform, then pull out the card on the box and read the contents.

Although these private rooms were equipped with soundproof wall panels, Leo's sensitive ears could still hear some surprised sounds coming from the surrounding private rooms when the black market host mentioned that the box contained Ability God cells.

After that, there was no bidding sound like an auction house. Instead, the people in each box wrote their prices on the cards and handed them to the waiter responsible for receiving the guests in the box. Finally, they were collected and delivered to Leo.
Chapter completed!
