Kaede Sato saw that the internal market was still bustling with activity even though it was close to the wee hours of the morning. He could not help but reveal an expression that said, "As expected."
In fact, when he left the temporary dormitory, he saw quite a number of contestants heading towards the market in groups of twos and threes. It seemed that these people had already weighed the difficulty and pros and cons of this competition.
Tonight was the final pre-competition preparation. If they did not hurry up and exchange their useless items for items that could increase their chances of winning this competition, they would not be able to use the items in their hands in the future.
Unfortunately, there was no such thing as quitting in the middle of the competition. The only way to quit the competition was to be defeated by another opponent in the competition, or by the fairies on the mysterious island.
As soon as Kaede Sato entered the internal trading market, he saw some stalls selling information and some stalls selling maps of the mysterious island.
At a glance, at least seven out of ten stalls were selling information or maps of the mysterious island.
The market had the ability to adjust itself. As long as there was a demand, the market would quickly produce a corresponding product for sale.
These Rocket veterans stationed at the Rocket Base were all old foxes. They naturally knew that the location of the second stage of the competition was the mysterious island, and they also knew the rules of the competition.
Therefore, some of the business-minded Rocket veterans had already begun preparing information and maps of the mysterious island. They wanted to use these things to make a huge profit from Kaede Sato and the other contestants.
Now, for Kaede Sato and the other contestants who were about to enter the second stage of the competition on the mysterious island, information about their opponents and an accurate map were very important.
The former would allow them to have a good understanding of their opponents, thus preventing them from being ignorant and fighting against strong contestants. This would increase their chances of passing the stage.
The latter would prevent them from being blindsided on the mysterious island, greatly reducing their chances of accidentally entering a dangerous place, thus greatly increasing their chances of survival.
Therefore, in order to obtain these two things, Kaede Sato and the other Rocket soldiers were being ruthlessly extorted by a group of Rocket veterans.
But now, it was Zhou Yu hitting Wang Gai. One was willing to hit while the other was willing to take the hit.
Seeing this situation, Kaede Sato took a deep breath, and then joined in this feast of being the prey of others.
However, when Kaede Sato really joined the feast, he realized that he had encountered a real black-hearted businessman.
"Little brother, come and take a look. This book contains detailed information about the participants. If you want it, you can exchange it with an item worth 5,000 merit points, 10,000 points, or 200 million union coins …"
When Kaede Sato passed by a stall selling information, a fat Rocket member at the stall stuck his fat face close to Kaede Sato. He then picked up a thick book and started bragging about it.
As for the information about the other participants, Kaede Sato was currently limited to a roster with a rough introduction. Therefore, he was very interested in the introduction book in the fat stall owner's hand.
Although the fat stall owner had raised the price of the book to a very high level, it was still within Garen's financial ability. Of course, before he bought it, he still needed to do a simple inspection.
After inspecting the book, Kaede Sato was a little dumbfounded. The content of this thick introduction book was actually not as good as the roster in his hand.
Instead of calling it a book, it was more like an album. 80% of the content was filled with a large number of photos. As for the participants' information, it was limited to basic information such as their name, age, height, and so on.
Kaede Sato naturally had no interest in such a strange introduction book. He immediately threw it back to the fat stall owner and walked to the next stall selling information about the participants.
Kaede Sato walked around the bustling internal market of Extraordinaire. He was somewhat disappointed to find that the information about the participants was actually very fragmented.
Most of the information was even worse than the roster in his hand. At most, it could give him a rough idea of the basic information about the other participants. As for the most important participants, there was very little information about the Wisps.
So far, the most detailed introduction book Kaede Sato had ever seen came from a mysterious seller shrouded in a black robe.
But even so, this player introduction book only introduced the player's basic information and which little spirits he had. As for the detailed explanation of the little spirits, it didn't mention anything at all.
And this introduction book was sold for 500 million Alliance dollars. It was no different from daylight robbery.
However, even if they knew that these Rocket veterans were looting a burning house, many participants still chose to go bankrupt to buy these introduction books.
Some of the participants were very smart. Although they were embarrassingly short of money, they could still pool together and buy one book. As for how to distribute the money later? These questions were unknown.
Kaede Sato was now very glad that he did not extort Nogu and instead gave him the Energy Cube. The roster that Nogu gave him was far better than the information these Rocket veterans were selling.
Because of this, Kaede Sato could save at least a few hundred million Alliance dollars.
Understanding the opponent's information was already expensive, so the map of the mysterious island that could increase the chances of survival was naturally even more expensive.
Fortunately, unlike the crude information about the participants, the Rocket veterans here had a very good understanding of the terrain of the mysterious island. The map they drew was much more detailed than the map distributed during the conference.
However, due to the fact that every veteran from the Rocket Squad explored the same area of the island, coupled with the fact that the explored area was extremely limited, even though the map in their hands was very accurate and detailed, it was only a very small part of the mysterious island.
Moreover, this small part of the map was only the outermost part of the mysterious island. As for the detailed map of the inner area of the mysterious island, Kaede Sato had only seen a third of it.
The value of these detailed maps of the inner area of the mysterious island was naturally much higher than the maps of the outer area. In terms of Alliance dollars, the cheapest one was sold for 1 billion Alliance dollars. This was really an exorbitant price.
However, at this time, Kaede Sato saw a true nouveau riche.
Sakaki Tomari, the participant with the strongest background in this competition, shocked everyone as soon as he made a move. He bought three detailed maps of the inner area worth 4 billion Alliance dollars.
In this regard, Kaede Sato could only think that the other party was really inhumane. In the end, he gritted his teeth and spent 300 million Alliance dollars to buy a fairly detailed map of the eastern area of the mysterious island.
After buying the map, Kaede Sato began to pay attention to the stalls selling various Wisp items. Compared to the information about the participants and the detailed map of the mysterious island, he was now more interested in the Beginner Resurrection Potion.
Unfortunately, this life-saving item was also the lifeblood of the Rocket veterans in this base. Kaede Sato went through the entire market and did not find anyone selling it.
In the end, Kaede Sato had to find a good location and set up his own stall. The item he was selling was naturally the quasi Heavenly King-level Ancient Giant Dragonfly.
In the logistics department, this Ancient Giant Dragonfly was a prize worth 6,000 Achievement Points, but Kaede Sato knew that its value was much higher than that.
Kaede Sato believed that as long as he sold this Ancient Giant Dragonfly, it would definitely attract the attention of many Rocket veterans here. They would be willing to pay a high price, even if it was a Beginner Resurrection Potion that was equivalent to a second life.
For any trainer, a powerful Wisp was their capital to establish a foothold and continue to grow stronger. This was especially true for the Rocket veterans here who were in danger every day.
For the Rocket veterans here, the death rate of their Wisps was obviously much higher than the trainers outside.
Once the powerful Wisp they had painstakingly cultivated died, even if they used the Beginner Resurrection Potion to save their lives, there was a high probability that they would die in the next battle.
Therefore, none of the Rocket veterans here would complain about having too many powerful Wisps.
