It was evening in Darkness Port.
Tang Ling strolled around the commercial district alone. As for Han Xing, he simply paid him back after lending him 20 Black Sea coins.
Otherwise, Tang Ling was willing to bet that even if he came out to buy some supplies, Han Xing would have to tag along as well. How could two grown men go shopping together?
The thought of Han Xing hugging his arm and shamelessly following him made him break out in cold sweat.
Tang Ling dared not dwell on the strange scene. He quickly calmed himself down and focused on searching the commercial district.
Since it was a Freedom City, the commercial street of Darkness Port was unusually lively and the shops sold an abundance of goods.
It had been more than a month since Tang Ling arrived in Darkness Port, yet he had not taken a proper stroll around the commercial street. After a quick tour, he realized that the commercial street was divided into four blocks.
The first street mainly sold all kinds of meat and resources to improve oneself. However, the items sold were not high-grade. Just like Direbeast meat, the highest grade was only Level 3 Direbeast meat. Although there were plenty of resources to improve oneself, such as plants and technology, they were not as good as Direbeast meat.
The second street, on the other hand, was mainly selling materials. In terms of materials, there were all kinds of them. After all, the Purple Moon era already had superhumans that the old civilization could not even imagine, so there must be a lot of materials around them.
There were equipment, machines, medicine, super technological items, all kinds of formations, etc. However, similar to the First Street, the items sold here were not of a high level.
Even if there were some that Tang Ling barely needed, the quality was mediocre.
As for the third street, it was called the Miscellaneous Street. It sold all sorts of strange items, as well as a window for exchanging the currency of all the major forces in the world. It also sold all sorts of 'services'. In short, it was a hodgepodge of street.
However, a lot of people liked to come here to search for treasures. After all, this place was filled with all kinds of items. Among the items, there were also a lot of finished products such as incomplete weapons, medicines, and potions with unknown effects. Occasionally, there would be rumors of someone spending a small amount of money to obtain some kind of treasure.
Tang Ling was obviously not interested in Taobao, at least not at his current stage. He knew that he did not have the foresight to do so, and he did not want to believe in the illusory luck.
"As a young man, am I too boring?" Tang Ling looked at a certain window on the street. The queue was as long as a dragon, and a self-mocking thought popped up in his mind.
What was this window selling? Tang Ling was familiar with it! Dori's Box of Darkness, also known as Dori's Box.
Rumor had it that opening the Dori Box was the most interesting game in Darkness Port.
This was because this completely sealed box had originally appeared as a way to dispose of stolen goods.
For example, the items that were stolen and robbed were a little troublesome to deal with. However, there was a genius who came up with a way to put the stolen goods into a sealed box.
He then told people that there were good things in the boxes and that it was up to the heavens to decide what they could buy.
In this way, the stolen goods were transformed into gambling boxes. Because the boxes were not opened, no one could prove that they were stolen goods.
As for the people who bought the stolen goods, they wouldn't tell anyone about it …
Over time, Dori's Dark Box gained a great reputation! It became one of the Three Big Boxes of Darkness Port.
With the expansion of its reputation, the shrewd businessman who owned the rights to sell Dori's Dark Box came up with all kinds of ways to play with it.
All in all, the price had been lowered, but the gambling had become more intense.
Of course, there were still stolen goods that came from illegal sources, but most of them were filled with trash. Occasionally, someone would put some good stuff inside.
Tang Ling was impressed by Quark's luck. He really got his hands on the Dori's Dark Box that contained good stuff. Inside was the Horror Lullaby, which was also the List of Seeds.
Tang Ling would never forget the signature on it. 'There is no treasure that the great Quark Rockwell can't steal.'
It really was stolen goods.
However, was Quark Rockwell really Quark? As Tang Ling walked, he thought of his old friend.
It had not been that long, but when he thought about it, it felt like a lifetime ago.
"Hey, how about a Dori's Dark Box? Compared to the Lucky Goddess Box in the auction house and the Clown's Game Box in the combat zone, don't you think the Dori's Dark Box is the most cost-effective? It's just a Black Sea coin and you can bet your future on it. "At the window where the Dori's Dark Box was sold, the salesman worked hard.
It made Tang Ling want to spend a Black Sea coin to buy it, but on second thought, he was too stingy to spend even a Black Wind coin.
"I'll buy it next time." Tang Ling looked at the busiest window on the street with a longing gaze before he walked away.
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling was a gambler, but at the same time, he was extremely disciplined.
The first three streets were like that.
Tang Ling had confirmed his target, which was the fourth street.
Compared to the first three streets, the Fourth Street was a little quieter. The reason was none other than the place where the high-class trading companies of the major factions gathered.
If one wanted to buy high-class goods, they had to come to the Fourth Street or gamble their luck on the street. It was a consensus.
Tang Ling was clear about his target. He would never be stingy with the things he wanted. Even if he had to spend a lot of money, he would buy the best quality goods.
Therefore, his target was the trading companies of the major factions such as the True Capital and the local trading companies of Darkness Port.
After a casual stroll, Tang Ling finally found three suitable trading companies.
Among them were the trading companies of the True Capital and Darkness Port. After some thought, Tang Ling walked into the trading company of Darkness Port, the Dragon Palace.
It was a very luxurious building and the main building material was precious corals.
In the old civilization, the red corals, which were considered to be precious and rare, were also used in the building.
Did the red corals increase after the changes in the Purple Moon era? Tang Ling was not sure, but the Rainbow Coral and Five-Colored Lucky Corals, which were precious even in the Purple Moon era, were still used in the building and the amount was not stingy either.
"Should I just pry them away?" Tang Ling thought about the possibility of prying the corals away as he strode into the Dragon Palace.
"Esteemed guest, what can I do for you?" Right after he stepped into the Dragon Palace, one of the waiters in front of the entrance walked over and greeted Tang Ling passionately.
This was the scheming nature of the big trading companies. When the waiters saw that Tang Ling was a man, a woman came over and greeted him warmly.
Furthermore, she was very beautiful and spoke in a soft voice. She did not appear overly intimate, nor did she make people feel alienated or formulaic.
However, Tang Ling did not feel anything. Could he be more beautiful than Higan?
Therefore, Tang Ling's expression did not change at all. He did not even care about the waiters as he walked around the Dragon Palace.
The natural crystal floor and the crystal glass windows reflected the colorful lights, making everything in the Dragon Palace look luxurious.
Of course, the prices were also luxurious. Tang Ling looked around and realized that the items sold in the Dragon Palace were at least a fifth more expensive than the ones sold outside. Was this the price of the luxurious feeling?
Without batting an eyelid, Tang Ling finally remembered the waiters who had been following him around, so he asked, "Why does he have food? I don't! "
"Huh?" The waitress was stunned. She actually recognized Tang Ling. He was the most popular teenager in Darkness Port at the moment. Was he that shameless?
Tang Ling was referring to a VIP customer of the Dragon Palace. He had just bought something and was taking a break in the lounge area on the first floor. As the Dragon Palace that provided top-notch service, it was natural for them to prepare some exquisite food since the ingredients were not that expensive anyway.
But … but …
"Should I get some for you?" Tang Ling was such a person. The waiters grumbled in her heart, but her attitude was excellent.
"Alright, then you can go." Tang Ling was actually helpless because he would not give up on the idea of buying things in the Dragon Palace just to save money. Quality was more important.
However, he had to earn back some of his costs first.
Maybe because the customer was Tang Ling, the request for some food went smoothly.
Tang Ling did not hold back either. He grabbed a plate full of pastries and gobbled them down. He gulped down two glasses of juice.
The taste was good, but compared to the high-grade ingredients, such as the food in Boss Huang's restaurant, it was not filling enough.
"I want the bones of a Level 4 vicious beast, around 1.5 catties. They must be the main bones and not the scattered ones. "With the pastries stuffed in his mouth, Tang Ling stated his first request.
The so-called main bones referred to the big bones, not some fragmented bones, such as a small phalanx or something.
"On top of that, I also want the sap of a Level 2 vicious plant. It must have no talent attributes and can only nourish the human body. Of course, the ones that can nourish the brain and spirit are the best. It's about half a catty. "
"Lastly, I want the tentacles of a Level 5 mutated insect. I don't have a specific requirement, but the tentacles must be complete and I want two of them. "
The beautiful waitress widened her mouth in shock. Tang Ling's request was not exactly harsh, but it was not exactly so.
After all, they served a lot of high-grade customers, but everyone knew that Tang Ling was a quasi-Purple Moon Warrior. Why would he need so many high-grade ingredients?
However, they could not pry into the customers' privacy. Besides, the ingredients that Tang Ling requested were not available on the first floor.
"Dear customer, the ingredients that you requested can be purchased on the second floor. However, according to our requirements, you must prove that you have 500 Black Sea coins on the second floor … "The waitress did not continue.
Many customers were dissatisfied with the rule and felt that it was not respectful enough, but Tang Ling was fine with it.
However, Tang Ling was fine with it. Flaunting his wealth was fun, was it not? He calmly took out his crystal card and passed it to the waitress.
There were a total of 1480 Black Sea coins on it. One thing worth noting was that the purchasing power of Black Sea coins was not as strong as the True Capital coins, but it was still very powerful.
Unfortunately, Tang Ling did not get the awe and admiration from the waitress. She was very calm. After a quick check, she returned the crystal card to him and led him to the second floor.
Tang Ling was confused. Am I not rich enough?
Compared to the magnificent first floor, the second floor's decoration was much more elegant. However, this elegance was inexplicably mixed with a trace of iron-blooded roughness.
How should he put it? It looked like a captain's room with a certain level of artistic appreciation.
It seemed like the people of Darkness Port were very passionate about sailing.
After they reached the second floor, Tang Ling was led to a private room. The customer's privacy should be respected after all.
Maybe because of Tang Ling's astonishing eating ability, the waitress with sharp eyes served him three big plates of pastries and 10 glasses of fruit juice of various colors.
Tang Ling was delighted by the fact that he could eat. His grudge against the price of the food here was also lessened.
"Dear customer, please wait for a moment. I'll bring the manager with me in around 10 minutes. "The waitress's voice was as sweet as usual. It seemed like Tang Ling's eating ability did not shock her.
"Sure." Tang Ling agreed right away. He sat in the comfortable room, ate the pastries, and waited for the things that he needed. It was a comfortable experience. Being rich really made a difference.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
As expected, according to the agreed time, the waiter brought an elderly man over with a rather large box to Tang Ling's room.
The old man sat down opposite Tang Ling.
He opened the box quietly and took out four trays covered with red cloth from the first layer.
"Dear customer, this is the first item that you've requested. We've checked our inventory and picked out four suitable items for you. "The old man spoke without hesitation. After he finished speaking, he removed the first piece of red cloth.
"Erdoli Retro Megalodon. A Level 4 vicious beast. This is half of its spine. The bone marrow was in perfect condition and contained a huge amount of life force, but it was not completely extracted. Due to the fact that a small part of the bone marrow has fused completely with the bone, the quality of the spine has undoubtedly been improved, "the old man explained in detail.
Tang Ling picked up the spine for a closer look. He used his spirit visualization method and put it down without commenting further.
As a matter of fact, it was a decent bone that fit the requirements. It was a lot better than the scattered Level 4 vicious beast bones sold on Second Street.
As expected of a big trading company, their gifts were extraordinary.
However, Tang Ling was not in a hurry to show his attitude. After following Boss Huang for a long time, he had learned a lot of tricks.
The old man noticed Tang Ling's calm reaction, so he was not in a hurry to remove the second piece of red cloth.
"The tailbone of the Northwest King Tiger. It's almost the whole tailbone. Although the Northwest King Tiger is only a Level 4 vicious beast, its tail is extremely powerful, comparable to a Level 5 vicious beast. One could imagine how tough and tenacious the tail must be to preserve such a powerful tail. The tiger bone has many medicinal properties, so I believe you don't need me to introduce it to you, dear customer. "The old man smiled.
As a matter of fact, the tailbone of the Northwest King Tiger was one of the best among all the Level 4 vicious beast bones in their inventory.
Tang Ling was slightly moved. Based on the introduction alone, he knew that this piece of vicious beast bone was better than the previous one and it fit his requirements better.
After all, the first layer of the spirit formation required him to grind the bone into powder and fuse it with many other ingredients. It should be better to choose a bone with medicinal properties that was beneficial to the user, right?
Tang Ling was not sure either, but on the surface, he gently caressed the tiger bone and waited patiently for the next introduction.
This kid is so good at eating, but why is he so calm? Doubts rose in the old man's heart.
Even a Rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior would be moved by the tailbone, would he?
With such thoughts lingering in his mind, the old man removed the third piece of red cloth.
"This is the wing bone of a Moldovan Thunderwing Bird. It's in perfect condition. Although it's light, it's still 1.5 catties heavy. The biggest selling point is that it contains a trace of thunder intent. It's a great supplementary material to make talent equipment. "The old man's introduction of the wing bone was relatively simple.
However, the trace of thunder intent was already very valuable, so was there a need for an introduction? There was no need at all.
This was the most expensive piece of Level 4 vicious beast bone! Those who knew would know.
Did Tang Ling? Of course, he knew. He was even a little envious. There were very few Level 4 vicious beast bones that could preserve talent abilities. Yet, because it was a Level 4 vicious beast bone, it was sold at a relatively cheap price.
Only a maniac like Kun could casually take out a vicious beast bone with talent abilities and call it trash.
Of course, Tang Ling would never forget how Kun flaunted his wealth in front of him when he first entered the dream.
"Trash.
Trash. "
"Everything is trash!"
Tang Ling wanted to be like that too, but compared to Kun's wealth, it was like a drop of water compared to the vast ocean.
While his thoughts ran wild, he rejected the idea of the thunderwing bird bone.
A bone with a trace of thunder intent? Could he use it as a tattoo? Did he want to be electrocuted every day?
Therefore, Tang Ling was as calm as ever.
It confused the old man. Is this kid here to cause trouble? Why does he look down on all three of the good stuff?
If he had seen a lot of good stuff, he would not have come here to buy stuff, would he?
However, considering Tang Ling's identity, the old man held back his anger. He remained calm on the surface as he removed the last piece of red cloth.
"What's this?" After the red cloth was removed, the old man did not introduce it this time. Instead, he waited for Tang Ling to see it for himself.
There was only a tooth on the tray. It was half the size of a palm and the root of the tooth was slightly red like blood vessels.
When Tang Ling asked the old man, he picked up the tooth and frowned. He was stunned for a while before he put the tooth down.
Throughout the whole process, Tang Ling's expression was very natural, and no one could tell that something was off.
As a matter of fact, when Tang Ling picked up the tooth, the little seed, which was in a deep slumber, reacted a little.
The reaction was not the little seed expressing its consciousness on its own like calling Tang Ling 'daddy' or something.
It was an instinctive desire, similar to how it craved for food when it was still naive.
What the hell did Boss Huang do to me? What did he do to the little seed? Did the little seed start to eat the tooth in a frenzy?
Tang Ling was infuriated, but he decided to take the tooth back even if he had to spend some money.
He had no choice. Even if the little seed's request was weird, he was its daddy who loved it dearly. Could he not satisfy the little seed's request?
Tang Ling believed that he was a good father.
But what was this thing? Tang Ling was waiting for the old man's answer.
At the same time, the old man was also observing Tang Ling seriously. If Tang Ling's expression was the slightest bit off, the old man would offer a reasonable price for this useless item.
Unfortunately, the old man was disappointed.
Tang Ling was curious and dumbfounded. He obviously did not know what the tooth was either.
After a deep breath, the old man said, "This tooth came from outside Iron-Blooded City. You should know that the creatures outside Iron-Blooded City are more exotic and more diverse. To be honest, we haven't identified what kind of creature this tooth belongs to. We've used a special machine to test it, and the overall data is comparable to a Level 4 vicious beast's bone. It's special because of its density. A small tooth is already 4 catties in weight. You know, the denser the bone, the better the quality.
"Other than that, a tooth that weighs 4 catties is unbelievable. Think about it, how heavy would a mouth full of teeth be? What kind of creature could have such heavy teeth? Maybe it's even stronger than a Level 4 vicious beast? "
Tang Ling had to admit that the old man was very persuasive. With a few words, he was able to sell a worthless, strange tooth to Tang Ling. He even hinted that Tang Ling might be able to buy the product of a high-tier vicious beast with a little bit of money.
However, under Tang Ling's youthful face, there was an old fox's heart. He pouted and rejected the old man's suggestion, "What? It's all guesses without any proof. "
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling was already doubtful about the origin of the tooth. What was Iron-Blooded City? What was outside Iron-Blooded City?
However, it was obvious that he could not show his fear in a big trading company like this, so he could not possibly show his doubts to the old man.
"Is there nothing else?" Tang Ling asked absent-mindedly after he grumbled.
He did not seem to be interested in the goods.
The old man slightly regretted his decision. Why did he bring out the tooth? However, as the customer manager, he had the responsibility to sell some useless items.
Tang Ling was still a young man, and he was easily tempted and curious, so he had to give it a try.
"It's not that there isn't anything else. However, the quality isn't that different from these. If you don't like these, I don't think you'll be interested in the rest, "said the old man. It was not that there was nothing better, but there was no need to worry about selling the good stuff.
Tang Ling only had a little over 1,000 Black Sea coins, so it was not worth it for them to come up with something better.
Especially since there were so many young geniuses in Darkness Port, who knew how many of them were rich?
Tang Ling did not know what the old man was thinking about, but even if he did, it would not matter because the goods before him had already satisfied his needs.
Nevertheless, he pretended to sigh in pity and said, "If that's the case, I'm too lazy to look at them. What's the price of these things? Name your price."
"The first elephant bone, 580 Black Sea coins."
"The second tiger bone, 620 Black Sea coins."
"The third bird bone, 800 Black Sea coins."
"As for the fourth tooth, 300 Black Sea coins." The old man listed the prices of the goods one by one.
"Isn't that too expensive?" Tang Ling furrowed his brows. He knew that nothing good would come out of eating the pastries here. If he bought these, how was he going to buy the rest? Am I going to be penniless again? '
