Chapter 74 Black Market
"Roasted sweet potatoes are the best food I've ever eaten in my life!" The fat man gnawed on the sweet potatoes.The sweet potato is soft and glutinous, even if half of the teeth are missing, it does not affect his swallowing.

The thin man didn't answer the fat man, but he agreed with the fat man's words in his heart. Even if they sneaked into the back kitchen of a seven-star hotel and ate leftovers from guests, they were not as delicious as roasted sweet potatoes.

"Skinny man, I have an idea!" The fat man ate a sweet potato and said to his companion, "I think the eldest sister, although she has a strong force, has been reduced to the frontier star and sold food on the black market. It’s a disaster. You said that we are going to follow her now, and when she rises again in the future, won’t we follow suit?”

The thin man thought for a while, then nodded: "That's a good idea. But will he accept us?"

"Hey, we can pester her! Our brother has nothing but thick skin!" The fat man laughed so wretchedly!

The thin man turned his head, wanting to say that he didn't know the fat man, but he agreed with the fat man's words in his heart.Here's an opportunity!
Baitang approached the gate of the building.This building looks very ordinary from the outside, the glass door installed at the gate is shining brightly, reflecting the image of Baitang on the glass door in every detail.This kind of glass cannot see the scene inside from the outside, and the people inside can clearly see the outside scene.Before Baitang's hand touched the door, a tall and strong man came out and stood in front of Baitang.

"Miss, this is a private property, you are not allowed to enter!"

A porcelain bowl with cartoon patterns appeared out of nowhere in Baitang's hand: "I want to sell some small things!"

"This is..." The man's eyes widened suddenly, "Is this the legendary porcelain?"

Baitang nodded: "Not bad."

Man: "Are you sure you want to sell?"

Baitang: "Not bad!"

"If you don't really want to sell, but just use this bowl as an excuse to sneak in, then don't come out!" the man warned.

Bai Tang smiled: "You can take me directly to the person in charge of the auction house!"

The man refuses: "I'm not a waiter!"

He pushed open the door: "Go in!"

"Thank you!" Baitang nodded and entered the gate.

Inside the gate was an ordinary hall, with three beautiful young girls as receptionists, several groups of sofas that looked comfortable, and a few big men who were as strong as the previous men were sitting on the sofas.They played cards with ease on the surface, but all their attention was focused on Baitang who had just entered the door.Bai Tang could feel the strength of these people, each of them was no less powerful than Lin Wenbin.

Baitang walked directly in front of the three girls: "Wait for me to meet the person in charge of the auction house!"

"Okay, ma'am, please follow me!" The girl in the middle stood up with a smile.The perfect demeanor shows that they have received strict professional training.

Bai Tang followed the woman into the elevator. The elevator didn't go up, but went down to the negative eighteenth floor.Looking at the three red "-18" symbols, Baitang's expression was full of embarrassment.Is this eighteen levels of hell?

When the elevator door opened, the light in the room was bright and warm, not a little dark, more like the office of a very popular and formal company.

"Ma'am, do you really have porcelain for sale?" The person in charge had already heard the report from the man at the gate, and was waiting at the elevator door.The legendary porcelain, as soon as this news gets out, I am afraid that the rich and powerful of the capital star will come to the black market, and I may be transferred to the capital star or another more prosperous planet.

"Yes." Bai Tang acted calmly when facing the flattery from the person in charge, and made the person in charge take a higher look.

"Then can you take it out and let the equipment identify it?" asked the person in charge.Counterfeiting is uncommon in the future world, but not impossible.

"Yes." Bai Tang spread his right hand, and a cartoon porcelain bowl appeared in his palm, "Take it!"

"Thank you ma'am for your understanding!" The person in charge took the bowl carefully and praised, "The pattern on it is very interesting."

"This is the protagonist of a cartoon on the ancient earth more than 5000 years ago, called 'Joyful'." Baitang replied.

"Ma'am, do you know much about history?" The person in charge asked, beckoning his assistant to place an instrument about a foot high on the table and put the porcelain bowl into it.

"I'm studying ancient history, focusing on the 5000-year-old ancient earth." Baitang had already thought up his excuse, "This porcelain bowl is handed down from my family. If I didn't have a tight budget, I wouldn't take out such a precious thing. Sell!"

"I understand!" The person in charge said sincerely.The instrument beeps, indicating that the result has come out.

After the deputy saw the result, he grinned and hurriedly told the person in charge the result.

The person in charge was as ecstatic as his deputy, but Bi quickly suppressed it and resumed his serious elite expression.

"Ms. Bai, after our inspection, the porcelain bowl you brought is indeed genuine. Do you want to put it on consignment with us, participate in the auction, or sell the item directly to us, and we will operate it later, and you have nothing to do with it." Something to do with it?" said the person in charge.The money obtained from participating in the auction is definitely more than selling outright on the black market, but because many goods come from improper sources, most people choose to outright this way.Although the money I got was at least one-third less, it was better than insurance.The black market does not reveal the identity of the seller.

"When is the latest auction?" Baitang asked.

"Five days later! We will release the information about porcelain as quickly as possible." The person in charge gestured to the deputy with his eyes, who nodded and immediately went out to start preparations.

"Then sell out!" Five days later, she was already on her way to Blue Star. The most important thing was that she was very short of money.

"You don't think about it anymore?" The person in charge was slightly taken aback, and asked kindly.

Baitang smiled: "No. I'm relatively short of money now!"

The person in charge understood it, and stopped persuading him, and offered a price that made Baitang very excited. In the 21st century, a small porcelain bowl that only sold for three yuan was sold for hundreds of millions of federal coins?Baitang was so happy that he was about to faint.

"Ms. Bai? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" the person in charge asked with concern.

"It's okay!" Baitang calmed down, handed over to the person in charge, and immediately more than 2 million federal coins entered her account.

"Ms. Bai, my lord Locke Curie, if you have any more good items, please contact me directly!" The person in charge sent Bai Tang out of the office.

"I will." Baitang instinctively felt that he would deal with the person in charge for a long time.

Coming out of the person in charge's office, Baitang didn't take the elevator, but walked up the stairs to the minus fifteenth floor.The negative eighteenth floor is the reception room of the black market, and the negative seventeenth and negative sixteenth floors are connected to serve as the auction venue.All above minus fifteen are free exchange markets, but this market is very mysterious for both buyers and sellers, and everyone wears a mask to hide their appearance.Before Baitang left the office, the person in charge presented her with a mask.The mask is very thin and does not block the line of sight, so it is quite comfortable to wear on the face.

Baitang walked around with great interest, and would go to every stall to have a look.There are so many types of items in the black market that Baitang is speechless, and what makes her dizzy is that she doesn't know many types!I saw those who were interested and wanted to buy one, but found that these items were extremely high-tech, and they could not be used at all in the "backward" age of the 21st century.

"Gene enhancer?!" Baitang picked up a strengthened glass container on the stand in surprise, which contained a beautiful light blue liquid, which looked like the "gene enhancer" described on Xingwang.com.

With the development of science and technology in the future, the medical field has also made great progress.Medical scientists have invented "gene enhancers", which strengthen the genes of ordinary people, which is not only more beneficial to cultivation, but also prolongs life expectancy.In the future world, ordinary people can live up to [-] years old, and those who have the ability and channels to get more "gene enhancers" can even live up to [-] years old-ordinary people are issued a "gene enhancer" by the government every year. "If you want more "gene enhancers", you need to exchange contribution points and a lot of money.

"Is this true or not?" Baitang asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's true!" The seller was dissatisfied with Baitang's questioning, "I've been selling the gene enhancer on the black market for two years. If it was a fake, the person in charge of the black market would have broken my legs long ago."

"With the current technology, even if your leg is broken, it can be repaired very quickly!" Bai Tang pointed out the seller's language problem.

"What I said is embellishment, embellishment, don't you understand? Have you returned your Interstellar Alliance language to the teacher?" The seller was furious with Baitang, and snatched the strengthened glass bottle, "If you don't buy it, go away. Don't interrupt my business!"

"Who says I won't buy it?" Baitang snatched the glass bottle from the seller again, "Make an offer! I'll buy it!"

The reason why he was so straightforward was that Baitang performed a system identification technique and confirmed that the seller was selling a real gene enhancer.

"2000 million union coins, no bargaining!" The seller snorted, his attitude softened a bit, but after all, Baitang's previous words offended him, and his performance was not enthusiastic at all, with an expression of "do you want to buy it or not?" .

"It's so expensive!" Baitang frowned.If he bought a gene enhancer, he would spend more than half of the money he just earned.

"Don't buy it if you think it's too expensive!" The seller snorted, "Do you think that genetic enhancers are easy to get? Even street children would not sell their own genetic enhancers for money. These few But it took me a lot of work to get it."

"I'll buy five, you can give me a sincere price!" Baitang said, "If this business is successful, I will come to your place to buy once a year."

Parents, Wu Xuemei and two little buns, one for each person. As for myself, I don’t need it. The body after the system transformation is stronger than the future person who received the genetic enhancer.

"How much?" The seller was taken aback, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Five. I will ask for five every year! As long as you don't run out of stock!"

"No, of course not!" The seller was excited, five, this is a big business, he usually can't sell one in three months.This business alone is more than what he sold in the whole of last year.
