"So?" Tang Ling raised a brow and gulped down the foamy beer. He had to admit that it tasted better than the beer bar on the Isle of Sea Tear.
"So, this place used to be the lair of the Underground race. It's a victory worth remembering, so why don't we make good use of it? " The man in the black robe also gulped down the beer in his hand and pressed a button on his mask. Pak! The lower half of the mask fell off and covered his bearded chin.
"Have a good walk around. Sochi's black market is unique. Not only will you find something here, but you'll also see the traces left behind by the Underground race from time to time, reminding you of the danger that humans are facing. This kind of feeling would urge you to become stronger, and it would also urge you to buy more items here. Hahaha … "
After that, the middle-aged man in charge of answering Tang Ling's questions vanished into the crowd in the bar.
Tang Ling did not purposely chase after him. Instead, he told the bartender, "One more beer. I don't need to answer any questions this time."
"Okay." The bartender, who was wiping the glass in his hand, put it down. In less than ten seconds, he poured a fresh beer for Tang Ling and placed it in front of him.
Tang Ling picked up the beer and gulped down half of it. Despite the noisy atmosphere in the bar, his heart felt a lot calmer.
It had been almost 40 minutes since Tang Ling arrived at the black market.
He did not do anything else in the past 40 minutes. All he did was listen to a story in the bar named Riddle.
It was not a magical experience at all. Instead, it was something that everyone who came to Sochi's black market for the first time would experience.
There was an unwritten rule in Sochi's black market. Whenever one felt lost, one had the responsibility to remind the person to go to the Riddle bar.
With such a huge flow of customers every day, Sochi's black market did not have enough manpower. From the perspective of the smart merchants, printing the newbie handbook was a huge waste.
Therefore, an interesting way to solve questions was born.
Here, people who had doubts could ask any questions for a certain price and a glass of beer.
The bartender would be responsible for entering these questions into the huge rolling electronic screen in the middle of the bar. Then, the questions would be seen by others. If they felt that the payment was satisfactory, they could also answer the question and come to the bartender directly. The bartender would then bring the person who answered and the person who asked the question for a one-on-one interview.
After the interview, the person who answered would get a reward and a free drink.
It was a very good way.
In addition, every respondent had an obligation. If the questioner was a newbie, the respondent had to educate the questioner on the basics of Sochi's black market.
It was a very effective method. At the very least, a one-on-one conversation was much more humane than a newcomer's manual.
Tang Ling was very satisfied with the method, and he even praised the person who came up with it for being a genius.
He had just heard from the person who answered that there was someone who had been answering questions here for a long time and was about to become a rich man.
He gulped down the rest of his beer and prepared to leave the bar.
After all, he already knew what he needed to know. He needed to hurry up and get things done.
At that very moment, Tang Ling's impression of Sochi's black market had changed from a confused one to a very good one.
After all, ever since the Purple Moon era, humans had always been threatened by the vicious beasts and the Underground race, especially the Underground race. It was as if all the disasters were related to them.
Unfortunately, they lived underground, and humans had no better way to deal with them other than fighting them deep underground.
Who would have thought that humans would achieve a great victory on Sochi Island in the middle of the sea? Just like how humans did not expect a huge base of the Underground race to exist in the middle of the sea!
In short, humans were victorious.
They had reclaimed Sochi Island and turned the Underground race's base into a huge black market on the sea.
Why did they turn it into a black market? Was there a deeper reason behind it? It was not something that Tang Ling could care about at the moment.
He just felt that the person who answered his question made sense. After all, this was the biggest victory that humans had achieved against the Underworld races. The destruction of the largest base of the Underworld race would motivate them to become stronger. Perhaps they would accidentally spend a lot of money here.
**
Tang Ling was not afraid of spending money at all.
If it was possible, Tang Ling would even spend all his money on Sochi Island, provided that the things on the island could satisfy his needs.
Some people might think that Tang Ling had all his money and it sounded like a joke, but Tang Ling was really rich now.
However, Tang Ling was really rich now, and he was not exaggerating at all. At least, the client manager who served him would never think that he was poor.
One should never doubt the customer manager's judgment. They had to guide countless customers every day and carry out countless trades. Those who could be excluded from the category of poor under their picky eyes were usually rich people outside of Sochi's black market.
The customer manager was busy with his work.
The cargo ship that belonged to Tang Ling had brought a lot of goods, and he was still counting them.
Tang Ling, on the other hand, was in his personal office. With a cigarette in his mouth, he watched the customer manager running around outside the window, but his heart was strangely calm.
Tang Ling had said that he would do something big, so he would definitely shock everyone when he made his move. The passenger ship that belonged to him was filled with vicious beast meat.
The vicious beast meat was what he had processed and dried on the floating rock island for Monty to guard.
Other than that, there was also the accumulation of resources over the years at transit station 119.
The Blood Scissors Brothers were stingy. Even though they had to send a huge amount of resources to Duo Ge every once in a while, they still kept a lot of it for themselves.
However, Tang Ling was even more ruthless. He brought everything to Sochi's black market.
Was it just vicious beast meat? If it was, the customer manager would not be so busy. After all, the most common resource in the black market on the sea was vicious beast meat.
Other than that, Tang Ling also brought a dozen single-man combat ships and many other important parts of the ships.
The Blood Scissors Brothers were stubborn when it came to wealth. For example, if a medium-sized ship was not easy to sell, they would dismantle it.
All the important parts came from the dismantled ships.
When the ship was left with an empty shell, they would refine and collect the basic materials used to build the ship, such as some metals or special wood.
After a long time, the materials were considered a considerable amount of wealth.
For some reason, the Blood Scissors Brothers did not sell the materials, which would benefit Tang Ling in the end.
They were the bulk of the goods that Tang Ling delivered.
After all, Tang Ling had emptied the storage of transit station 119 this time. Therefore, there were a lot of other trinkets like equipment and all kinds of valuable personal belongings.
Tang Ling was too lazy to pick any of them. He thought it would be better to convert them all into money and use the money to buy the most suitable item for him. That would be the simplest way.
After the cigarette was finished, the cargo on the ship was only unloaded by a dozen workers. On the other hand, the plump customer manager tripped while he was running back and forth.
Tang Ling was amused when he saw the customer manager.
He remembered the customer manager's shocked and incredulous expression when he told him that he needed the biggest cargo ship.
Tang Ling even saw the suppressed rage in the customer manager's eyes. Not everyone who came to Sochi's black market knew their limits and knew what the biggest cargo ship in Sochi's black market was.
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling did not know either.
If he had not gone to Riddle Bar, he would not even know the trading rules of Sochi's black market.
The black market on the sea was often used to trade bulk goods.
For example, if you killed a Level 7 Direbeast at sea, it was likely to be a big guy that was over a hundred meters long.
Under such circumstances, one would not be able to carry a Level 7 vicious beast to trade with them.
Hence, the Sochi cargo ship and the secret waterway were born.
With the waterway, one could easily travel to the island without any baggage. Then, go to the goods acquisition counter, find a customer manager, and tell him the location of your goods (usually, they need to be transported within a hundred miles of Sochi Island). Then, the staff of Sochi Island will help you unload the goods onto a special cargo ship in Sochi Island. Then, the goods will be transported to Sochi Island through a secret waterway.
If one did not plan to purchase the goods from the black market alliance of Sochi Island, one could also pay a certain service fee and store the goods on the cargo ship for less than half a month. Then, one could look for a buyer or participate in an auction.
Sochi Island had a strong reputation. No matter how precious the goods were, they would not have any ill intentions, so one could leave the goods to the customer manager without worry.
"This is so convenient!" When Tang Ling found out about all this, he could not help but praise the Sochi black market again. It was filled with genius and creativity.
Tang Ling did not know about all this at first. Out of many considerations, the goods that he was about to sell were transported to the area through a certain method.
He had been worrying about how to trade for so many things. Never did he expect the Sochi black market to give him such a pleasant surprise.
He took out a bottle of cold beer from the fridge beside him. As a distinguished customer who used the biggest cargo ship and had a black card, the treatment he received was considerate and generous.
Providing beer at any time was just a small service, but Tang Ling was satisfied with the service.
After all, the office was located in the oppressive secret waterway. Waiting in the office required patience.
Indeed, the secret waterway was similar to the escape route of the Poseidon family. It was built under the sea. Only God knew how the Sochi black market built it. It reminded him of the huge sea crossing projects of the old civilization like the sea crossing tunnel.
It seemed like regardless of the era, humans would always be able to unleash astonishing power.
After finishing three bottles of beer and watching a movie from the old civilization out of boredom, Tang Ling finally finished checking the goods that he brought over.
The slightly chubby customer manager who served Tang Ling did not even have the time to wipe his sweat before he rushed into the VIP office.
"Dear sir, how would you like to deal with your goods?"
"Let the Sochi black market buy them all." Tang Ling waved his hand and gave the answer that he had already decided on.
Time was of the essence, so he would try his best to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Are you sure? If the black market alliance buys them, the price might be 20% lower than if you sell them on your own. It's something we have to remind you of. "The customer manager adjusted his glasses.
Although the goods that Tang Ling brought over were not particularly valuable, the quantity was huge and they were all easy to sell. For example, vicious beast meat and single-man combat airships were always in circulation on the sea.
All in all, they were worth quite a lot. If the black market bought all the goods, his sales would be …
The customer manager's breath quickened. However, he had to explain everything to Tang Ling according to the professional rules.
"Don't I know?" Tang Ling replied lazily as if he did not care. He then said, "Give me a price. I'm not a person who likes to waste my breath. You better give me the fairest price that you can offer. "
The customer manager's face suddenly turned red with excitement. His hands were almost trembling as he quickly typed on the calculator.
Two minutes later, he removed his glasses and wiped the sweat off his nose. After he put his glasses back on, he said to Tang Ling, "Dear sir, if the Sochi black market buys all the goods, we can offer you a total of 578,421 True Capital coins."
"How much did you say?" Tang Ling raised his voice. Other than that, Tang Ling was not that excited. As a matter of fact, only Tang Ling knew that when he heard the number, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
"Sir, I can offer you a total of 578,421 True Capital coins. It's a fair price. If you're not satisfied, I can round it up to 580,000 True Capital Coins within my authority, "the manager added in a hurry.
Tang Ling remained quiet. He was actually stunned by the number.
"Sir, I really can't go any higher. I'll round it up and I'll take half of my commission. I need the sales, so I'm willing to offer half of the commission to you. I really … If you really need it, I-I … "The customer manager was incoherent.
He originally wanted to say that if Tang Ling needed it, he would not take a single cent of the commission. After all, if the sales went up, it would bring him more benefits.
However, Tang Ling had completely calmed down. He stood up and said, "Then, round it up. I don't want to make things difficult for you."
**
How wonderful was it to be rich?
Tang Ling had only experienced it for less than an hour, and he could no longer feel the wonderful feeling.
What was this place? It was Sochi's black market! It was a real money squandering den. 580,000 True Capital coins might be a huge sum to Tang Ling, but to many people who came to trade in the black market, it was not even a fraction.
There were a few auctions in Sochi's black market every day, and with Tang Ling's assets, he was not even qualified to enter at least three of them.
Therefore, the customer manager was right to think that Tang Ling was just not a pauper.
Tang Ling was discouraged, but he was not discouraged.
He knew he would stir up a storm in the near future, and if everything went smoothly, he might even qualify to enter the best auction house in the black market.
However, the prerequisite was that he had to spend every single one of the 580,000 True Capital coins in the right place and make it worthwhile.
Since he had a certain understanding of Sochi's black market, Tang Ling first went to the trading center at the dock.
If the customer manager who followed Tang Ling was there, he would be shocked. Tang Ling had just sold a lot of ships, and now he wanted to buy another one? Was he out of his mind?
Of course, Tang Ling was not out of his mind. Buying a ship was one of his most important plans.
Since he had the money, his selection was smooth.
The black market was not a shipyard, so all the ships were ready-made. They had just been modified to remove the unique features of the ship's origin.
When Tang Ling arrived at the dock, he did not even pick a shop in the black market to trade at. He simply walked into a shop and stated his request. The shop owner then brought him a booklet and placed it in front of him.
"The ships on the booklet are basically what you want. Please take your time. "
Tang Ling did not take his time either. With his Precise Instinct, he flipped through the booklet as fast as a book being blown by the wind. It made one suspect that he did not even read carefully before he picked a ship.
What happened next was much simpler. Tang Ling paid the money and left.
If someone picked him up at the secret dock of Sochi's black market, the ship would appear at the dock two hours later and Tang Ling's person would drive it away.
If not, after Tang Ling completed his transaction, he could contact the shop owner and drive the ship away himself.
Therefore, trading in the black market was a pleasant experience as it would save him a lot of trouble.
With that in mind, Tang Ling arrived at the communication equipment trading area.
He was not here to buy a normal communication device. Instead, he was here to buy a complete set of communication devices. It was also an important step in his plan.
After all, he could not leave the fleet, including the Harvest, behind for too long.
Without a complete and secure communication equipment, he would always be in a passive position.
To Tang Ling's delight, Sochi's black market did not disappoint him.
40 minutes later, Tang Ling walked out of the communication equipment trading area with a satisfied expression. He had spent 160,000 True Capital coins of the 580,000 True Capital coins he had earned.
