Chapter 1594 Just Want to Buy, Buy, Buy
……
"Old Wang, we are really on your pirate ship."
Once again deeply aware of the horror of the hell world, Goddess Shiva and High Priest Belika communicated secretly and glared at Wang Yan fiercely.
Lydia didn't know that Mo Yan was Wang Yan, so she had to pray secretly with fear, hoping that the son of fire she had been thinking about would be safe and sound, and at the same time she also hoped that she could get out of this terrible place as soon as possible.
Wang Yan didn't study the greedy onlookers around him. This kind of maggot can be found everywhere, but the hell world is more direct.
Besides, it would be good to increase some pressure on his companions, which would make them develop a good habit of being vigilant at all times. As for whether there would be trouble coming, he was confident that he could handle it.
In this way, no matter how many people were paying attention on the road, Wang Yan led everyone all the way to their destination.
There were a lot of things to see and hear along the way. The buildings in the inner city of the capital were particularly gorgeous, and all kinds of buildings were simple and majestic, showing the atmosphere. The ground was flat and clean, without a trace of dust.
In addition, Wang Yan also found that the residents of the inner city of the capital of the gods are indeed different from other places.
In places like Liuhuo City, the residents' service and appearance are usually mainly to show their military strength, so as to increase deterrence, so that others dare not provoke themselves, and indirectly increase their own charm.
But the residents here are different. The residents here are all dressed in luxurious clothes, and everyone wears exquisite accessories. The clothing style is mainly a grand robe that shows off the strong body for men, and a skirt that is seductive for women.
Walking on the street, you can see shining accessories with jewels and gems everywhere, as well as men and women with graceful manners. In contrast, Wang Yan's group, all wearing standard armor and riding domineering mounts, are indeed very majestic, but you can tell at a glance that they are from other places.
Because in the huge city of the capital of the gods, which is located at the feet of the demon god and is almost absolutely safe, the purgatory demons living in the inner city are all nobles, and even the worst direct relatives have several hell lords.
Therefore, the noble residents in the inner city do not need to show off their military power in a bluffing manner. Instead, they only need to show their wealth and grace. The next step is nothing more than intermarriage between nobles and enjoying life.
Wang Yan and others were originally outsiders, and they did not need to blend in with these nobles, so they did not care about being different. In addition, as they went deeper into the city, they also found many outsiders who were dressed similarly to them.
It seems that there are many contestants who came to this divine capital. They are wary of Wang Yan and others, and they are also hostile to them. Some of them try to get close to Wang Yan and build a closer relationship with him.
These large and small groups that came to the divine capital to participate in the competition either regarded Wang Yan and others as competitors, or wanted to win over Wang Yan to become a useful helper. This cunning approach is also a common trick of the Purgatory Demon Clan.
However, these large and small groups composed of young lords from various demon lords are not worth it for Wang Yan to waste his time dealing with them now.
Not long after, the cold and arrogant temperament of Wang Yan and others discouraged those who tried to approach them.
Without the disturbance of outsiders, Wang Yan and his party moved forward much faster. Although there were still many people curious and watching along the way, it was relatively quieter than when they first arrived.
Following the guidance of the city gate guards, Wang Yan and his party first came to the black market he wanted to go to the most.
It must be said that the city of Shendu is very large. Just to go to the largest black market in Shendu, Wang Yan and his party actually walked thirty or forty kilometers.
After arriving here, Wang Yan and others couldn't help but brighten up.
If the black market in Liuhuo City is the largest item trading place in the territory of the Red Refining Demon King, then the black market in Purgatory Shendu is probably several times larger than the black market in Liuhuo City.
Wang Yan even thinks that such a place cannot be simply called a trading market, because its scale is equivalent to a large free trade zone between countries on Earth.
This is not entirely a black market. Specifically, this trading area is divided into six floors.
The upper six floors are the orthodox trading areas guarded by the official. All goods from normal channels are available here. From small things like needles and thread, clothing tools, food and groceries to large things like weapons, ammunition, equipment, jewelry, and various precious materials, everything is available. Moreover, these items are neatly divided into different areas according to different categories, which are clear at a glance.
In addition, there are a large number of professional attendants on each floor to provide guidance and reception, so it is easy and convenient to find something you need, saving time and effort.
The merchants selling goods here are also very capable. Compared with the large and small markets in Liuhuo City, the management, goods and service quality here have completely risen to a higher level.
Shopping here is a complete enjoyment, and it has also opened up a lot of horizons for Wang Yan and others. Especially the Chijue Princess, the daughter of the Demon King who has been spoiled since childhood, is quite happy. And the three female companions from Earth are also dazzled by all kinds of exquisitely made hell jewelry.
Fortunately, Wang Yan now has a mine at home and is very rich. He packed a few gifts for almost every subordinate, which can be regarded as a reward for his hard work these days.
Most of these small gifts were enchanted accessories or some small tools. They were not expensive, but they made Wang Yan's dozen or so men very happy. They were all in high spirits and full of morale.
After all, the gift is small but the sentiment is great. In the eyes of Lord Chihuo and other subordinates, this is the care given by the boss to them, which is very heartwarming and meaningful. Zoe, the harpy who has little life experience, blushed on the spot and was at a loss for a long time. Princess Chijue cried happily on the spot. This was the first time she received a gift from Lord Moyan, the male god in her mind. She was so happy that she almost flew.
Zhang Weidao, Wu Bujie, and the three old friends of the Desert Emperor, needless to say, they were not polite to Wang Yan. In addition, Lydia, Goddess Shiva, and Belika, the three girls, also felt warm in their hearts when Wang Yan bought all the beautiful jewelry they liked. Although their faces were still arrogant, their resentment towards Wang Yan in their hearts was obviously reduced a lot.
This also made Wang Yan quite emotional. Sure enough, shopping can be used to comfort any girl.
Wang Yan is rich and powerful. After shopping like this, everyone enjoyed it very much. The originally nervous and depressed mood also improved a lot.
Then the group came to the lower six floors, where the real black market was.
The so-called black market, on Earth, naturally refers to some private goods and dirty illegal transactions, but this is allowed in the hell world, and it is also a legal transaction.
The world of hell is constantly fighting and fiercely competing, and the demand for all kinds of goods has always been great, so this kind of illegal transaction of unknown origin has come into being, and the supply is in short supply.
Over time, the place where all kinds of unknown goods are sold has formed a black market.
Under the influence of interests and the folk customs of hell, whether it is slaves, weapons and equipment, or grave digging, or stolen things, as long as they fall into the hands of black market dealers and are sold on the table, they are legal goods.
Unless the real owner of the item uses the same method to take his things back from the black market dealer, once it is on the black market counter, the owner has no other choice but to buy it back through the sales channel at a high price, if the owner can still afford it.
In some ways, the transactions on the black market are indeed dirty and cruel, but they meet the various needs of many residents of Hell.
Wang Yan and others also follow the local customs. He also needs to obtain a large amount of supplies and combat power through black market transactions.
However, most of the items on the black market are much cheaper than those purchased through normal channels. Because the stolen goods on the black market, apart from the quality of the new and old, may also be sought for revenge by the owner of the items, so there are some risks, and the price is naturally low.
The prices of the Shendu black market are roughly the same as those of the black market in Liuhuo City. It should be that the black market alliance has already set a rough price for the corresponding goods.
Compared with the black market in Liuhuo City, the Shendu black market is deep underground for six floors, and the corresponding goods and various slaves are available. In addition, because the total amount is large, the prices of ordinary-level items here are relatively cheaper.
However, the real good things, such as top-grade slaves, sacred-level treasures, and antiques with special abilities, are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of magic crystal coins, which are much more expensive than Liuhuo City. Even Wang Yan couldn't afford a few of these luxury items, and they were not practical.
Wang Yan was mainly interested in things that could bring practical benefits and uses to his subordinates and fellow anti-Japanese fighters on Earth.
Zoe, the harpy who had already received the complete inheritance of the alchemist and had mastered the use of the Eye of Truth, helped Wang Yan a lot at this moment.
"Lord Mo Yan, this is the top-grade spiritual weapon Earth Claw! Although it is damaged, it doesn't matter. We have Master Hill. If we buy the tungsten iron over there, Master Hill can repair it!"
"Here, here! Lord Mo Yan, this is not a lapis lazuli, but a piece of Huiyue stone! This black market dealer must have stolen it, and he hasn't discovered it yet. Lord Mo Yan, hurry up and buy it!"
"Hey, this is the Red Viper Spear. It is a fine spiritual weapon made from the spine of the legendary monster Red Viper Black Snake!"
"Wait, this is not a wrought iron armor, but a silver leaf armor that has been corroded by venom! As long as it is repaired, this equipment can reflect most low-level elemental magic!"
"..."
This is a big deal. As long as there is a leak that can be picked up, Zoe will accurately find it, and then Wang Yan will buy it one by one.
The private goods in the black market usually come from abnormal means such as theft, robbery, and spoils of war. People who own these dirty goods are not necessarily people who understand goods. In addition, the daily volume of goods in the black market is very huge. The appraisers hired by the black market are not all appraisers like Zoe, and there are no good holy objects like the Eye of Truth, so it is inevitable that there will be times when they make mistakes.
As long as you are a little careless during the determination process, it will often cause several times, or even dozens of times the price difference!
In addition, some damaged equipment and weapons, outsiders are reluctant to spend a lot of money to repair, so the price will be very low, but this is not a problem for Wang Yan at all.
Wang Yan now has not only the alchemist Zoe, but also a master of refining Hill. As long as the equipment is not completely damaged, the broken points can be repaired.
Even if it is really not worth repairing, Wang Yan can decompose it into usable high-quality materials through Zoe's alchemy and Master Hill's smelting and purification, and re-forge it into suitable equipment and weapons. If it doesn't work, Wang Yan can also send it back to the Earth National Non-Funding Bureau as raw materials and hand it over to the technical staff of the National Non-Funding Bureau for processing.
In short, Wang Yan did not lose money by picking up bargains in this super-large black market. Whether it was his subordinates or the Earth Circle behind him, the demand was very large, and all good things could be consumed.
After such a search, Wang Yan bought dozens of items and materials, and spent hundreds of thousands of magic crystal coins, but the real value of these items and materials was at least more than two million! It can be said that he made several times the profit.
Of course, Wang Yan picked up bargains like this, and the black market parties, vendors and surrounding customers were not fools, but when they reacted and realized that Wang Yan was picking up bargains, Wang Yan and others had already left with full loads.
In fact, picking up bargains in the black market has long been a convention, and there are many residents of Hell who regard picking up bargains as a profession, but it is very rare to be as precise as Wang Yan and have such strong capital.
After visiting the trade area of the black market, Wang Yan and his party went to the slave trading market on the lower three floors.
This place is much larger than the slave market in Liuhuo City. There are countless types of slaves, male and female, young, young, tall, slim, etc. Almost all the types you want to find can be found here.
Moreover, the slaves here are divided into several categories according to gladiatorial combat, war servants, attendants, services, etc. Each slave is like a commodity, with a small label that marks his specialties, age, race, etc., for buyers to easily choose.
For this reason, there are people who specialize in slave training and training, in order to sell slaves at a good price. Therefore, the quality of slaves here is generally high, and the price is much higher than that in Liuhuo City.
But these slaves who have been trained and their thoughts and psychology are almost destroyed are not the target that Wang Yan wants to obtain.
What Wang Yan wants are those outstanding talents with clear eyes, full of desire for freedom, and still have independent thoughts.
That is, to have high-quality qualifications and talents, you also need a tenacious mind. It is really hard to find. Even with Zoe's assistance, Wang Yan spent a lot of effort.
After a whole day of wandering around, Wang Yan finally found more than 20 very good seedlings and spent more than 100,000 magic crystal coins.
In the end, all these slaves were arranged by Wang Yan and sent to the military camp where the Red Demon King was stationed, where Camus and the other two would complete the arrangement and preliminary special training of these slaves.
While sending the slaves, Wang Yan also brought a message to the Red Demon King, asking him to arrange for the army to rest on their own. And Wang Yan himself, after a pleasant day and night of wandering around, led his men to the top floor of this black market.
In this large building, there are naturally all kinds of dining, rest, and entertainment venues.
Seeing that they came to the high-end club where the Purgatory Demon Clan was spending their days and nights, the Red Lord immediately showed a lewd smirk: "Boss, do we want that next, that is... that?"
Zhang Weidao, Wu Bujie and Shentu Tianlu were suddenly shocked: "Hehehe, that? Which one?"
...
