The location of the Sea Market on Route 108 was not a particularly secretive place. It was located in a huge abandoned oil tanker on Route 108. Yes, it was the abandoned cruise ship that could be entered in the game.
Under the guidance of Hai Ke, Kaede Sato finally arrived at the abandoned cruise ship at around six o 'clock in the evening.
At this time, a lot of people had gathered on the abandoned cruise ship. Many of these people were underwater treasure hunters like Hai Ke. The only difference between them and the empty-handed Hai Ke was that these people had a lot of good things in their hands at this time.
Yes, underwater treasure hunters like Hai Ke were the cornerstone of this Sea Market. The items they found on the seabed were generally sold through this Sea Market, and Kaede Sato and other people who came because of its reputation were the buyers.
In general, this Sea Market was almost a very simple antique market. The only special thing about it was that it was the first-hand market for underwater antiques and cultural relics.
Because this was the first-hand market, a lot of precious antiques and cultural relics often appeared here. As long as one had enough eyesight, it was not difficult to make a fortune here.
Of course, like many antique markets, this place was also full of a large number of fake goods that could pass off as genuine. Without enough eyesight, people who came here to buy things were basically spendthrifts.
However, there was never a lack of self-righteous people in the world.
Even if this place was full of fake goods, in front of the temptation of getting rich overnight, there was still a steady stream of people in the world who came here. These people were basically very confident in their eyesight.
Kaede Sato naturally did not come here to look for treasures. His main purpose here was to find the members of the Marine Team. He now needed a suitable guide and identity to help him smoothly sneak into the base built by the Marine Team on Route 108.
Because it was almost night, Hai Ke and other people who came with Kaede Sato to Route 108 had no interest in diving for treasures. Just like the habitat of the wild elves on land, the seabed at night was much more dangerous than during the day. At this time, diving to the seabed to look for treasures was no different from suicide.
Therefore, most of the people on the Haike Speedboat entered the increasingly popular maritime market just like Kaede Sato.
Kaede Sato blended into the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of Hai Ke and the others who were following him. Then he began to look for members of the Marine Team in the marine market, as well as looking at the antiques and cultural relics here.
"Come and take a look. It's an ancient porcelain that was just fished up from the bottom of the sea. Look at the glaze and patterns on it. It's definitely authentic. It can't be faked. One piece only costs $199998."
"This is an ancient coin stall. We have a large number of ancient coins from different eras for sale. Every one of them is the best of the best. Each one is sold for only 9,999 yuan."
"Old Peter's antique stall is ten years old. My reputation is guaranteed. Old Peter, I promise that every item here is authentic. If it's fake, I'll compensate you ten times the price. I'll keep my word."
.....
Just like a normal busy market, the stall owners in the maritime market were all trying their best to sell the antiques and cultural relics in their stalls. Some of the stall owners even sent their elves to solicit customers.
For example, Kaede Sato. Because he was wearing a high-end trainer's outfit, many of the stall owners with sharp eyes sent their elves to find him.
Along the way, Kaede Sato was warmly welcomed by the Fast-Swimming Frog, Sea Lion, Agate Jellyfish, and other elves. Fortunately, Kaede Sato had the Hidden Dragon on his shoulder that could generate 100,000 volts. 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 a valuable item in this first-hand antique market. However, when he turned on the System's detection function, he found that the water of counterfeiting here was very deep.
Along the way, more than 95% of the antiques he saw 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 fakes.
As for the remaining 5% of real antiques, in Kaede Sato's opinion, the value of those real antiques was just so-so. They were not particularly precious and could not be sold for much money.
"Is this really a first-hand antique market? Why is the practice of counterfeiting more prevalent here than in the second- and second- hand antique markets?"
"These people probably really buried some of the antiques under the sea for many years in order to fake them. Their craftsmanship is really amazing. If I didn't have the System's identification function, I would be giving money to these people here."
"Speaking of which, is the behind-the-scenes manager of this place really a marine team? Why haven't I seen a single marine team member until now? Is this a free-range management?"
Kaede Sato very straightforwardly rejected the heavily oxidized bronze sword recommended by a hot female stall owner and her West Lion Siren. He then looked at the people around him who were dressed differently and thought to himself, speechless.
He had already walked around the abandoned cruise ship's maritime market two or three times, and he had been releasing his Psychic Energy to carefully observe every movement around him. However, there was still no sign of any marine team members.
However, Kaede Sato was not in a hurry. He realized that he must have come too early. During the time he was in the market, more and more people came to the abandoned cruise ship's maritime market.
Now that the number of stalls and the number of people in the market was constantly increasing, if the marine team members did not come out to maintain order, the place would sooner or later become chaotic. After all, this was not a regular market.
The people who came here were basically not ordinary people. More than 90% of them were powerful trainers. Even if they were ordinary people, they must have many powerful trainers and bodyguards by their side.
In this place, strength was actually a part of money, and sometimes a big part of it.
As expected, since no one was maintaining the most basic level of order, the conflicts in the market began to intensify, and some of the more vicious people began to stir up trouble.
For example, a ferocious-looking man took a liking to an antique, but because he did not have enough capital, and because the stall owner looked like a pushover, the man threw down 100 Alliance coins and directly bought it.
The stall owner dared to set up his stall in such a lawless place, so naturally, he was not a pushover. When he met someone like the man who wanted to buy it at a low price, he did not hesitate to release a Level-36 Stinger Jellyfish and commanded it to attack the man.
The man was not a pushover either. When he saw the stall owner take the initiative to attack him, he immediately smiled sinisterly and commanded his Level-39 Giant Pincer Crab to meet the attack head-on.
In an instant, a wild fight broke out in the maritime market. There were no safety rules.
However, before this wild fight could fully unfold, two thick bolts of lightning suddenly appeared and hit the stall owner's Stinger Jellyfish and the man's Giant Pincer Crab.
The two water-type fairies who were fighting were hit by the powerful electric current and immediately fell to the ground, losing the ability to fight.
Then, a long tentacle suddenly stretched out from the surface of the sea. Under the big man's horrified gaze, it accurately tied him up and dragged him into the sea.
