Chapter 182 The Core Area of the Black Market
As Duan Ming walked towards the passage, no one dared to look him in the face wherever he looked. This is the rule of the underground world, the strong are respected!
"Sir, is this your first time to our Nigu Star Port?"
The staff member's tone was full of flattery, and Duan Ming really enjoyed it, so he started chatting with him.
"It's the second time, but it's our first time to your black market."
"I wonder what kind of things you want to buy? What is the expected price? I can introduce you to some new good goods!"
"I heard that you have just received the latest battleship of the Earth Alliance. I wonder which model it is?"
"I'm not looking down on you, sir. If I tell you the model of this battleship, I'm afraid you will be shocked!"
Duan Ming stopped, he vaguely guessed something, and his heart was fluctuating.
"The Titan large flagship battleship!"
After hearing the staff's final answer, Duan Ming couldn't help but clench his fist. Just as he imagined, it was the Titan!
After suppressing the shock in his heart and chatting for a few more words, he came to the end of the passage. Before the door opened, the staff handed two masks to Duan Ming and Chong Nu.
"Sir, after opening the door, you will enter the core area of our black market. In order to hide the identity of the guests and protect their safety, please wear a mask."
This black market is quite thoughtful!
When he put on the mask, the door opened, and what came into Duan Ming's eyes was a wide corridor. The corridor was very long and there were small rooms on both sides.
"Sir, the things in the black market are basically auctioned. We adhere to the concept of the highest bidder. I will take you to the auction room now?"
If it was an ordinary black market guest, the staff would never speak in an inquiring tone. Duan Ming frowned slightly.
"So many rooms, all bidding for one item?"
The staff shook his head: "We in the black market have strictly divided the guests into different levels according to their strength and assets. People like you are naturally the highest-level guests, and the items you bid for are the best."
After hearing his explanation, Duan Ming's brows relaxed a little.
"Take us there."
After walking in the corridor for five minutes, Duan Ming and his three companions came to a room near the end.
Entering the room, the space inside is enough to accommodate more than 20 people, and the decoration is also luxurious.
"Sir, you are here today. Including you, there are only three highest-level guests today, but there are as many as six items!"
Just as the staff introduced, the huge screen in the room lit up, and it turned out that the auction had begun.
"Today's first lot is 100 kilograms of rare metal, Urugin, with a starting price of 1 million star coins!"
Rare metals are not enough to interest Duan Ming. With the existence of the Fire Rock Beast, rare metals are not rare to him at all. The Urugin family has accumulated almost a ton of them.
"Sir, are you not interested in this first lot?"
Seeing that Duan Ming has not participated in the auction, the staff member asked subconsciously.
"I am not interested. This thing is not good enough in my eyes."
In the end, this 100 kilograms of Urugin was bought at a price of 8 million star coins.
"Today's second lot is ten medium-sized warships, which are sold in packages, not individually, with a starting price of 50 million star coins!"
These ten warships did make Duan Ming a little excited. In the past, all the warships of the Duan family were supplied by Xingya Group. Now that Ai Xiaoxing has left Xingya Group, the supply of warships has become a problem.
After pressing the price increase button, the screen showed that Duan Ming bid 60 million star coins.
The price of ten medium-sized warships is at least nine figures, and the current assets of the Duan family are as much as ten figures, which is enough for Duan Ming to be free and easy!
What Duan Ming didn't expect was that his 60 million star coins were the final transaction price, and the other two bidders did not participate in the bidding.
"Sir, we sell a lot of things on the black market, but the market for large interstellar weapons is not very good. After all, these warship-level weapons are mostly used in wars."
This is easy to understand. Most customers come to the black market just to pick up a bargain and make a profit as a middleman. Weapons of the warship level are not easy to sell even if they are bought back.
Of course, the guests who can be rated as the highest level must have a lot of power behind them, but they also have their own channels to buy warships. There are not many forces like Duan Ming that are feared by the Earth Alliance in the entire universe.
"Today's third item is a newly born star beast, with a starting price of 50 million star coins!"
As long as it is a living thing, it can be raised. The intelligence of newly born star beasts is not yet complete, and there is a chance that they can be trained into human killers.
Duan Ming has a biological contract system, and he regards star beasts more as partners. Now that his partners are pushed onto the auction platform, Duan Ming can't help but feel a little disgusted.
"How many newly born star beasts like this do you have?"
"Sir, there are fewer and fewer star beasts in space now. It took us two months to get this star beast. There is only one left."
Press the bidding button again, but before Duan Ming's bidding price appears on the screen, it is overshadowed by another bidder.
Duan Ming did not hesitate and pressed the bidding button for the third time, but the other party was obviously determined to get this star beast.
In this way, Duan Ming and the unknown bidder kept raising the price. In just one minute, the price reached 230 million star coins.
At this time, Duan Ming frowned deeply, looked at the countdown on the big screen, and made a decision.
After pressing seven times in a row, the bidding price reached 300 million star coins.
The bidder did not raise the price again, and the unknown star beast that had just been sold was bought by Duan Ming.
The next two items were also rare metals, and Duan Ming did not participate in the bidding. Now there was only this last item left.
"Sir, we will take a ten-minute break before the last item is auctioned every day. In addition... it is also the time to settle the prices of the previous items."
Doing business, especially this kind of expensive business, even the black market must settle the bill on the spot.
Duan Ming took out a black gold card from his pocket and handed it to the staff member. This card was given to Duan Ming by Professor Dugu Er. There are only a hundred of them in the world. It is a symbol of status.
The staff member was stunned at first, then his expression became more respectful. He took the black gold card with both hands and carefully swiped it on his instrument. The transfer of 360 million star coins was successful.
"Sir, before you leave later, please leave your delivery address. The auction items will be shipped as soon as possible."
