The location of the sea market on Waterway No. 108 was not a particularly secret place. It was located in a huge abandoned oil tanker on Waterway No. 108. Yes, it was the abandoned cruise ship that could be accessed in the game.
Under the guidance of a veteran like Hai Ke, Kaede Sato finally arrived at the abandoned cruise ship at around six o 'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, a lot of people had gathered on the abandoned cruise ship. Many of these people were undersea treasure hunters like Hai Ke. The only difference from the empty-handed Hai Ke was that these people had a lot of good things in their hands at this time.
Yes, Hai Ke and the other undersea treasure hunters were the cornerstone of this maritime market. The items they found at the bottom of the sea were generally traded through this maritime market, and Kaede Sato and the other people who came because of its reputation were the buyers.
In general, this sea market was almost a very simple antique trading market. The only special thing was that it was the first-hand trading market for undersea antiques and cultural relics.
Because this was the first-hand trading market, a large number of precious antiques and cultural relics often appeared here. As long as one had enough eyesight, it would not be difficult to make a fortune here.
Of course, like many antique trading markets, this place was also full of a large number of counterfeit goods that could be passed off as genuine. Without enough eyesight, people who came here to buy things were basically fools.
However, there had never been a lack of self-righteous people in the world.
Even if there were a large number of counterfeit goods here, in the face of the temptation of getting rich overnight, there was still a steady stream of people from all over the world. These people were basically very confident in their eyesight.
Naturally, Kaede Sato did not come here to treasure. His main purpose here was to find the members of the Sea Team. He now needed a suitable guide and identity to help him smoothly sneak into the base built by the Sea Team on Waterway No. 108.
Since it was almost night, Hai Ke and the others who came to Waterway No. 108 with Kaede Sato were currently not in the mood to dive for treasures. Just like the habitat of wild elves on land, the bottom of the sea at night was much more dangerous than during the day. Diving to the bottom of the sea to search for treasures at this time was no less than suicide.
Therefore, most of the people on the Haike Speedboat, like Kaede Sato, had entered the sea market that was getting more and more popular.
Kaede Sato blended into the crowd. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of Hai Ke and the others behind him. Then, he began to search for the members of Sea Team in the maritime market. At the same time, he also took a look at the antiques here.
"Come and take a look at this ancient porcelain that has just been fished up from the bottom of the sea. Look at the glaze and patterns on it. It's definitely authentic. It's only 199998 for one piece."
"This is a booth that specializes in ancient coins. There are a lot of ancient coins from different eras for sale. Each one of them is the best of the best. One for only 9999."
"Old Pete's Antique Monopoly Stall, a ten-year old stall with a guarantee of credibility. Old Pete, I guarantee that every item here is genuine. If it's fake, I'll pay you back ten times. I'm a man of my word."
…
Just like a normal busy market, the stall owners in the maritime market used their own skills to sell their antiques and cultural relics. Some stall owners even sent their elves to attract customers.
For example, Kaede Sato. Because he was wearing a high-end trainer's uniform, many sharp-eyed stall owners sent their elves to look for him.
Along the way, Kaede Sato was warmly received by the elves such as the Swimming Frog, the Sea Lion, and the Agate Jellyfish. Fortunately, Kaede Sato had the 100,000-volt Mutant Stealth Dragon on his shoulder. Otherwise, he might have really been attracted by these enthusiastic elves.
With the detection ability of the system, it was very easy for Kaede Sato to find something valuable in this first-hand antique market. However, when he turned on the detection function of the system, he found that the waters of counterfeiting here were very deep.
Along the way, more than 95% of the antiques he had seen were fake. Even if some of the antiques looked like they had just been fished up from the bottom of the sea, they were actually high-quality counterfeits.
As for the remaining 5% of the genuine goods, in Kaede Sato's opinion, the value of those genuine goods was just so-so. They were not particularly precious and could not be sold for much money.
"Is this really a first-hand market? Why are the counterfeits here more prevalent than those second-hand and third-hand antique markets?"
"These people must have really buried some things at the bottom of the sea for many years in order to make counterfeits. This craftsmanship is really amazing. If I didn't have the identification function of the system, I would have come here to give these people money."
"By the way, is the behind-the-scenes manager really the marine team? Why haven't I seen a single member of the marine team so far? Could it be that this is a free-range management?"
Kaede Sato straightforwardly rejected a hot female stall owner in front of him and her Western Siren who had kindly recommended a heavily oxidized bronze sword. He then looked at the people dressed in different clothes around him and thought to himself speechlessly.
He had already walked around the marine market of this abandoned cruise ship two or three times. He had been releasing his mental power to carefully observe every movement of the things around him, but he still could not see any trace of the members of the marine team.
However, Kaede Sato was not in a hurry. He realized that he should have arrived early. During the time he was shopping in the market, more and more people came to the marine market of the abandoned cruise ship.
The number of stalls and people in the market was increasing. If the people of the marine team did not come out to maintain order, the place would fall into chaos sooner or later. After all, this was not a regular and orderly market.
The people who came here were basically not ordinary people. More than 90% of them were strong trainers. Even ordinary people must have many strong trainers and bodyguards around them.
In this place, strength was actually a part of money, and sometimes a large part.
Sure enough, due to the lack of people to maintain the most basic continuity, the contradictions in the market began to intensify, and some ruthless people also began to cause trouble.
For example, a ferocious-looking burly man had his eyes on an antique. However, because he did not have enough money and the stall owner looked like a pushover, the burly man threw down 100 Alliance dollars without hesitation and directly bought the antique by force.
The stall owner dared to set up a stall in such an illegal place, so he was naturally not easy to bully. When he encountered goods like the burly man who wanted to buy them at a low price, he did not say a word and released a Level-36 Octopus Bucket. He then commanded the Octopus Bucket to attack the burly man.
The burly man was not a good person either. When he saw the stall owner taking the initiative to attack him, he immediately smiled sinisterly and commanded the Level-39 Giant Pincer Crab beside him to face the attack head-on.
In an instant, a wild elf battle broke out in the marine market without any safety rules.
However, before this sudden wild elf battle could fully unfold, two thick bolts of lightning suddenly appeared and hit the stall owner's Octopus Bucket and the burly man's Giant Pincer Crab.
The two Water Elves who were fighting were hit by the powerful electric current, and they immediately fell to the ground and lost the ability to fight.
Then, a long tentacle suddenly stretched out from the sea. Under the burly man's horrified gaze, it accurately tied up the burly man and dragged him into the sea.
