Chapter 51 Black Market Technology Cultivation, Cyberpunk

The living room, which originally seemed empty because it only had a sofa, a coffee table and a few decorations, has become bigger. The cream-colored fabric sofa looks soft.

The coffee table was changed from the original black rectangular coffee table to a starry sky double-layer special-shaped coffee table. There is a long-haired carpet between the coffee table and the sofa, which looks warm.

In addition, the curtains in the living room were also changed.

A layer of flowing gauze, a layer of blackout curtains with beautiful patterns.

At this time, the blackout curtains were drawn up, and the gauze curtains danced lightly in the wind.

The originally empty space was also decorated with various decorations, and there was even a large cat climbing frame in the corner of the living room.

Nan Qi stared at all this, and only came to his senses after a while: "This..."

Bai held Nan Qi's hand and walked inside. "I've decorated the house a bit. See if there's anything that needs changing. The bedroom and study have been redecorated. I also made a dressing room where we can store our clothes."

The entire third floor is made up of white rooms. In addition to the spacious bedroom and bathroom, there is an empty room that has been converted into a dressing room.

Bai wanted to fill up the cloakroom little by little so that Nan Qi would feel a sense of belonging to this home.

The two insects walked forward and soon arrived at Bai's room.

Bai's room now looked nothing like it did in the morning.

The bed has been replaced and looks more comfortable. The carpet beside the bed has been replaced with a furry one, which is very comfortable to walk on bare feet. A few paintings are hung on the empty wall, and the original wardrobe has been replaced with a display cabinet, which is filled with a few cool mecha models and aircraft models.

The terrace connecting the rooms is furnished with sofas, lounge chairs, and a large swing chair for taking a nap.

The overall tone has changed from cold and hard to warm and looks like a home.

Bai pushed open the door of the cloakroom. The cloakroom was very large, but it seemed empty. There were only some white clothes in it. The colors were dull and looked a bit depressing.

Nan Qi didn't think so. There was a glint in his eyes and a warm feeling in his heart.

He knew that all the changes in the Smellide Mansion were due to his arrival, and Bai wanted to make him more comfortable.

Over the years, he fought many battles, and the home that was once filled with childhood memories was destroyed by alien invasion one day after his parents passed away.

Since then, he has been homeless.

This female insect looks cold and hard, but she is actually very soft inside.

Nan Qi knew that Bai wanted to give him a home, even though they were just partners now.

How could this not move Nan Qi?

Nan Qi took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling. "The display cabinet is still quite empty. Let's fill it up little by little, and the same goes for the cloakroom."

"The corner opposite the bed is a bit empty. Let's get a rug and put up a camping tent. When we've had enough of the bed, we can sleep in the tent. When the weather gets colder, we can change the bedding to warm colors. In the garden downstairs, we can plant half vegetables and half flowers, and transplant a few trees. There's also a terrace..."

Nan Qi pulled Bai aside and talked about the plan for Smellide Mansion. Bai listened carefully while Lily took notes.

Occasionally Bai would offer some suggestions, and it was like two insects building a nest together, and a sense of fulfillment naturally arose.

Is this home?

His eyes were deep and starry.

In the evening, the two bugs had a hearty meal and then flew out in the aircraft.

Not long after flying, Nan Qi glanced back and sneered, "He must have learned this tracking technique from him. It's so clumsy and crude."

Bai Wan'er, Nan Qi always finds the right adjective: "Sit tight, let's get rid of him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai took the initiative to control the aircraft, suddenly accelerated, and twisted and turned to quickly shake off the aircraft that was following them.

Then he accelerated again and stopped near the military headquarters.

Nan Qi was surprised. Bai said he would take him to the black market, but he went straight to the military headquarters. Could this black market be near the military headquarters? How could Bai be so bold?

Bai whispered, "There's a bug following us. Even though we've shaken it off, there's no guarantee it won't be discovered. There's an entrance nearby. Let's go through here."

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Nan Qi said softly, "This is the safest place, even in the most dangerous."

Bai nodded: "It's an emergency."

Nan Qi raised an eyebrow: "I like it, it's very wise."

The two insects whispered to each other's ears, and their glances caught the eyes of the female soldiers who occasionally came out of the barracks and walked around nearby, causing a small sensation.

The white-faced man had no expression and was extremely dignified. Since they were outside the military headquarters, no one dared to come up and say hello, so they could only gather together from a distance and discuss in a low voice.

Nan Qi pricked up his ears for a moment, then lowered his head and continued whispering to Bai, "Your soldiers said I looked weak, probably SSS-rank."

"Oh, a female soldier said I looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. She must be your fan and thought I was a fool who wanted to eat swan meat."

"Oh, this one is worried that I'll abuse you, and that one is worried that you'll be trapped at home by the Lord and give birth to insects like the Marshal. Hey, doesn't the Imperial Marshal stay in the military headquarters?"

"Imperial law is so overbearing, even the pillars of the nation can't make exceptions? The marshal can't go to work because of restrictions. It's a bit scary."

Bai shook his head: "I'll tell you about this in detail when we get there."

The two insects were moving quite fast, turning left and right until they arrived at a secluded courtyard.

Bai: "This is where I stay when I'm not home. The entrance is right here."

Bai said, walking to a wall and standing still.

It was an extremely ordinary wall, and it felt no different from any other wall.

Nan Qi turned his head, his eyes full of questions, as if asking - am I going to bang my head against the wall and knock myself unconscious before I can enter the black market?

Nan Qi's eyes were too obvious, and Bai couldn't help laughing: "I'm not lying to you, it's right here, no need to bang your head against the wall."

Then, Bai took out six high-grade pink crystals from the space ring, and patted the wall with his other hand. Six holes the same size as the crystals suddenly appeared on the wall.

Bai put all the rose crystals into the hole. There were two soft clicking sounds, and the space on the wall actually began to distort.

Nan Qi's eyes widened. His spiritual ability was related to space, and he was particularly sensitive to changes in space. When Bai threw the pink crystal, he could sense that there was another vast space behind the wall.

But he had observed before that there was clearly a small bedroom behind this wall and the space was not very big at all.

In other words, Bai's move is equivalent to connecting this wall with another space!

Nan Qi was really shocked. What was going on? Was this really technological cultivation or cyberpunk?

Bai looked at Nan Qi, who looked frightened, and thought he was cute. He raised the corners of his mouth and took out two black cloaks and two masks from his space ring.

"To avoid trouble, identities are hidden in the black market. Let's disguise ourselves as well."

Nan Qi took the cloak and mask, armed himself, and nodded to the dialogue.

"Close your eyes." Bai took Nan Qi's hand and stepped into the space behind the wall.

Nan Qi felt a sudden surge of pressure, then relaxed. When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in another city that never sleeps.

Nan Qi turned around and saw that everything had returned to normal, with no sign of spatial distortion at all.

Bai explained, "This black market has a long history. No one knows who founded it. Any organization that is qualified to enter the black market will receive a small wormhole from the black market master."

"A small wormhole? Just like a transit station when we travel through the universe?"

Nan Qi frowned. If this was true, the power of this black market lord was immeasurable.

Bai nodded. "Yes, they are essentially the same, just different in size. The master of the black market is extremely mysterious, and no one has ever seen him. In the past, the nations of the universe have joined forces to crack down on the black market, but they all ended in failure."

"Furthermore, in the thousands of years since the black market began to be recorded, there has been no record of the black market invading other countries. Since other countries can't do anything about the black market, they have tacitly accepted this no-man's-land."

"You mean, this black market is a no-man's land in all empires. It is not in any country, not even in any galaxy." Nan Qi was shocked.

"Hmm," Bai was surprised that Nan Qi understood his hidden meaning. "That's why it's so difficult for other countries to attack the black market because they can't find its exact address. The only time they attacked together through a wormhole, they didn't succeed."

"In a rage, the Black Market Lord shut down the Black Market for 200 years, preventing many goods from circulating. Eventually, it was said that all nations signed an agreement with the Black Market Lord, stipulating that the Black Market remain neutral and that no other nations would attempt to invade."

"This is too magical. Now I know why you think I'm a cat demon." Nan Qi touched his chin and said, "You've seen even more magical feelings."

Bai: "... Let's not talk about that. Besides the things that are circulated in various countries, the black market also has many amazing things. Some are dug up from ancient ruins, and some are found in abandoned and wandering spaceships in the universe. The sources are all kinds of strange and bizarre."

"Oh, that sounds interesting." Nan Qi followed Bai, looking around, curious about everything.

The black market is large, consisting of numerous stores, stalls, shopping centers, barter centers, and gambling tables in the center of the black market.

Nan Qi was curious about the gambling arena, so Bai explained to him the origin of the gambling arena.

Some intelligent creatures, having done evil or offended someone, are found in the black market, which can easily lead to private fights and pose a danger to other customers.

Although the black market has its own guard team, it is composed of high-level intelligent creatures of various races.

Anyone who wants to cause trouble will be stopped by the guards. If they refuse to change their ways, they will be killed without further consequences.

But the black market is so large that there are places that are not covered, so the gambling arena was born.

Private fighting is prohibited in the black market. Anyone with grudges must settle it on the gambling platform. The guards have the right to strangle anyone who disobeys orders.

Bai Dao: "There's a saying in the black market: life and death are decided on the gambling stage, while grudges are settled off the stage. Before entering the gambling stage, you can declare your demands to the supervisor and form a contract. After the gambling, if you violate the contract, you will be expelled from the black market forever and hunted by the black market."

"So that's how it is. It's quite scientific, and really powerful." Nan Qi once again marveled at the power of the Black Market Lord. "Has no living being ever seen him?"

"No, maybe there is, but it hasn't been publicized." Bai walked slowly with Nan Qi, "Those powerful people may not be from the same system as us."

Nan Qi hissed. The more he listened to Bai's words, the more they sounded like what some characters in the cultivation novels he used to read to kill time said.

Being able to use small wormholes for your own benefit doesn't sound like something that current technology can achieve.

Not only that, it can also avoid the joint encirclement of various countries and force various countries to sign treaties. What a huge power this is.

What kind of world has he entered?

Keeping the doubt in mind, Nan Qi began to carefully observe this area independent of other countries.

When he looked, he actually saw something very familiar to him.
