The day before starting work, Qiao Qiao had a dream. In her dream, the world ended! Smog, torrential rain, extreme cold, floods, typhoons, tsunamis, extreme heat, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions…...
Chapter 72 The Real Black Market is Extremely Hot
Qiao Qiao glanced at the man in front of her. Although he was thin, he had an exceptionally handsome face and a pair of deep eyes, in which one could see sparks of hatred.
She was completely curious, "Oh? What is it?"
The man leaned in closer and whispered mysteriously, "The real black market."
She raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "Okay, how do we get there?"
The man stretched out his wrist, and Qiao Qiao glanced at it without saying anything.

Qiao Qiao followed him, "If you dare to lie to me..."
The man immediately replied, "Don't worry, I would never dare to deceive you. The real black market is upstairs."
After coming out, Qiao Qiao went to the man in the suit to get back the 50 contribution point deposit, and followed the man upstairs.
“Does the upstairs require a deposit?”
The man said, "You can just call me Xiao Ding. No need. The upstairs is by invitation only. Only a few people know about it and can enter."
Qiao Qiao smiled, "Oh, then you are really good."
The man smiled awkwardly, "No, I just got a spot by luck."
The two of them went up three floors. At the entrance to the 13th floor was a huge gilded door, as heavy as a bank security door. In the middle was a lion's head, majestic and solemn.
I glanced around but couldn't find a door handle or a bell.
Xiao Ding stepped forward, took out a card and put it into the lion's mouth and swiped it.

Then the gate split in the middle.
"Please go first." Xiao Ding took a step back.
The inside of the house is different from downstairs. It is a bit like a shopping mall, with glass exhibition stands on both sides. I don't know where the organizer got them from, but it is quite complete.
"This is the real black market. The downstairs is just a cover."
Qiao Qiao passed by several booths and couldn't help being shocked by the things being sold there.
[A jadeite ore in the southwest area]
[Ten-year use rights of a fishery in the southeast region]
[Five-year mining rights for a coal mine in the Northwest]
[Ten-year use rights of a forest farm in Northeast China]
[20-year use rights for 100 acres of land in Northeast District]
She gasped. Is this the black market? These things can be traded?!
Xiao Ding whispered, "Some things look good, but in this situation, no one can be sure. You should take a closer look."
Qiao Qiao looked at him in disbelief.
He smiled bitterly, "Since I have received your contribution points, I will naturally do my best and will not make money against my conscience."
Qiao Qiao thought this person was very interesting, "So what do you recommend?"
Xiao Ding extended his hand to lead the way. "There are three main types of black market transactions at present. The first is real estate and mineral vein transactions, which are what you just saw; the second is card transactions; and the third is physical material transactions. The first type has the greatest risk. After all, no one knows whether the real estate will be destroyed by a new natural disaster in the next second."
Qiao Qiao looked at the people coming and going in the black market. All of them were elegant and clean, and it was obvious that they were prepared for the natural disaster.
She has no interest in the physical world right now, but when she passed by a few booths selling playing cards, there were some things that caught her eye.
Even met someone familiar...
"Ms. Qiao?" Fang Hui and Li Mo saw her behind a booth and greeted her immediately. "Why are you here?"
Qiao Qiao nodded, "I heard there's a black market here, so I came to check it out. Are you selling things here?"
Fang Hui nodded quickly, "Yes, we didn't see you at the Special Administration Bureau, so we came here. Do you want to see if there is anything you need?"
"good."
Fang Hui's booth was almost entirely filled with cards, one third of which were R-level cards. Logically, there should be no shortage of buyers, but unfortunately only a few were sold.
Special cold-proof clothing*2, coal card*3, backpack expansion card*2, automatic seeder*1, automatic harvester*1, automatic rice transplanter*1, automatic thresher*1, grain dryer*1, 20 kg of cat food for mutant animals, 10 liters of nutrient solution for mutant plants.
Qiao Qiao looked around and saw a few people who were obviously interested but were hesitant. "What's going on?"
Li Mo sighed, "Hey, we offended someone. He once said that anyone who buys our products will be his enemy."
Qiao Qiao asked: "Who?"
"Lou Yun, the young king of Paradise."
It turned out to be an acquaintance, "How did you offend him?"
Li Mo replied, "I don't know why he was injured, it seems that one of his hands was broken, and we happened to draw a healing card. He wanted it but we refused, so..."
Fang Hui quickly added, "There was a child in our welfare home who was injured by a wild beast that came down the mountain. He also needed a healing card. We had no choice but to reject his request, and he has been hated ever since."
"Orphanage?"
Fang Hui: "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you before, but Li Mo, Shu Ying and I used to run a welfare home that took in orphans and homeless elderly people. After the natural disaster, the number of employees decreased, and finally there were only three of us left. There are still 16 children and 21 elderly people in the welfare home now."
Qiao Qiao finally understood, "No wonder you guys have been using cards to trade for daily necessities."
Li Mo clenched his fists, his eyes full of resentment, "Yes, we found that children and the elderly are more likely to draw advanced cards than adults. I thought everyone could live a good life, but I didn't expect..."
Qiao Qiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'll take all these R-level cards. How many supplies do you need?"
Fang Wei was startled and waved her hands repeatedly, "Ah? No, don't offend Wang Louyun for us."
Xiao Ding stepped forward to persuade him, "Wang Louyun lives on the 107th floor of Paradise. Although he is a dandy boy, he has a great family background and is the only boy of this generation in the Wang family. You should think twice."
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao smiled mysteriously, "It's okay, I have already offended him."
Besides, this incident was caused by her. Wang Louyun’s injury should have been caused by Qiao Man, but the three of them suffered an unprovoked disaster.
Li Mo and Fang Wei looked at each other and said, "This..."
Qiao Qiao tapped the glass with her finger. "Stop wasting time. How much supplies are there?"
Fang Hui suppressed her gratitude and said, "The current price is one R-level card for 70 supplies and 40 cooling supplies. For these 14 cards, you can give me a total of 500 daily necessities and 200 cooling supplies."
Qiao Qiao glanced at her, "Are you sure?"
She answered firmly, "Sure."
"Okay, 200 portions of food, 300 portions of drinking water, 100 portions of ice water, and 100 portions of ice cubes. All are drinkable."
Qiao Qiao placed the supplies directly on the booth, and the next second, Fang Hui and Li Mo immediately retrieved them into the system.
"You guys continue with your work, I'll take a look." Qiao Qiao found that since the transaction was completed, there were some vague gazes from people around her, but she simply ignored them.
She glanced around the exhibition hall. It was brightly lit. She wondered how much electricity was consumed in a day. The last time she saw such a scene was in Paradise, but that was where the powerful people in the entire Northeast region lived.
"I have a question for you. The black market does not require a deposit. Aren't they afraid that someone will default on their debt? Also, how do they make money?" This is not something that one person can support. She was quite interested in the people behind it.
Xiao Ding shook his head. "The people who can come here must be rich or noble. No one would offend them for such a small profit."
"them?"
Xiao Ding's expression was distorted, and he gnashed his teeth with hatred. "They were prepared before the rainstorm. In fact, it was not the Federation that reacted first, but this group of capitalists!
You know, the richer a person is, the more afraid of death he is. Those successful people who appear to be in a glorious position on the surface have actually done many shameful things in private.
The slightest sign of trouble is enough to alert them, especially when the text messages are sent directly to their mobile phones. The mobile phones of this group of people are specially processed and cannot receive unknown text messages. "
Xiao Ding didn't realize that he said something he shouldn't have said, maybe he did it on purpose. Qiao Qiao didn't remind him and continued to listen to the inside story.
“After seeing the magic of the Doomsday Card Drawing System, they will let everyone they trust possess it, so that they can have their own power.
The Federation might be concerned about causing social panic, but they would not. With enough money and resources, they had already stored enough supplies to last for several or even dozens of lifetimes.
Doomsday fortresses were prepared all over the country, no, all over the world, for fear that something might go wrong. Although I didn't learn anything else, I did learn the art of hiding in three places.
These people gradually formed a circle, and now they have become a force that cannot be underestimated. Although they cannot confront the Federation head-on for the time being, the Federation has to give them some face.
The power of this group of people is terrifying. If they want to recruit people with a card drawing system, it is easy. Men, women, money, materials, they have everything. Although the probability of drawing high-level cards is extremely low, it is not impossible as long as the base is large enough.
No capitalist can dominate all fields, and capitalists in various fields are working together, and now they want to transform the resources in their hands into permanent cards. "
Qiao Qiao felt something in her heart, "These people..."
Xiao Ding understood, "Yes, it's the people who live in Paradise."
Qiao Qiao looked at the people walking around in the exhibition hall and suddenly felt a chill. "The establishment of the black market was not for making money from the beginning, but for making friends with high-level card drawers and trading high-level cards."
"You are right, so you shouldn't trade with them and offend Wang Louyun."
Qiao Qiao did not answer, but asked, "Do you think I shouldn't help them?"
Xiao Ding had a complicated expression, "They are undoubtedly good people who can protect the weak in the doomsday, but I am an ordinary person and I care more about myself."
Qiao Qiao smiled brightly, "It doesn't matter. If you are poor, you can take care of yourself. If you are rich, you can help the world. Although I am not yet at the stage of helping the world, I can still help you with a little effort."
Xiao Ding looked at her smile, which was like a ray of sunshine shining into the dark world.
"Can I add you as my friend? If there's anything you need, I can help you find it on the black market."
"OK."
After a round, I traded 2 backpack expansion cards, 2 heating cards, and 1 cleaning card, paying 500 units of ice.
After the transaction was completed, Qiao Qiao asked before leaving, "Can I ask what the conditions are for becoming a member here?"
Xiao Ding thought of something and pursed his lips, "The top 10,000 on the Northeastern District Wealth List."
Qiao Qiao didn't ask any more questions and turned away gracefully.
"I'll be here every day. If you need anything, you can contact me in advance."
She waved her hand to indicate that she heard it.
In the corner, the two men looked at each other, and after seeing each other's reply in the chat channel, they hurriedly followed.
