As the footsteps of the two gradually became clearer, all the noise in the black market above seemed to be cut off.
"Hey, is that enough? Do you want to go inside further?"
The man made an unhappy sound.
If I look further inside, there is no light at all. Doesn't that mean I spent a thousand dollars and ended up not being able to see anything?
That’s the problem. Where there is light, there are people to share it with, but where there is no light, the price of the ticket is not worth it.
"Then stay here. I can't wait any longer."
The girl's gentle voice made the man feel itchy.
The girl's hard hammer hit the man's head, causing pain.
There was a dull knock followed by the sound of a body falling.
Seeing that the other party had no reaction, the girl reached out and began to feel the man's body inside and out.
Soon, the familiar texture of the information coin came through the fingers.
"Ah, wild information coins~"
After an unexpected hunting experience, Shi Jin, the team leader of the maintenance workers of the third production line in the outer city, has seen his black market funds rise to 2,800 information coins tonight.
"It seems that he has no intention of paying the full amount."
After putting everything he could take into his pockets, Shi Jin stood up and spat at the man on the ground who was not sure whether he was alive or dead. Then he walked up the nearby stairs, looking for the red-haired businessman he remembered.
She groped her way from the first floor to the third floor of the abandoned factory building, and finally saw the familiar color in a corner of the third floor.
When she arrived at the stall, she pretended to choose something but didn't buy anything.
This is a conventional hint that when someone does the above behavior but does not leave, it means that he or she wants to talk to the stall owner about some sensitive topics.
The red-haired woman was obviously well aware of this. A sneer came from under her hood, and then she reached out and divided the potions and other sundries on the stall in front of her into two sides, moving closer to Shi Jin in front of her.
"Tell me, what shady things do you want to talk to me about?"
"I want to sell a batch of goods. I wonder if you are interested."
Shi Jin deliberately lowered his voice.
"Tell me, is it a biological agent that the research institute has declared obsolete, or an obsolete weapon that the military pretends to destroy?"
"Gold, do you want it?"
“…”
Shi Jin felt the black market merchant in front of him stiffen for a moment.
"You have all this good stuff?!"
The red-haired merchant's voice was filled with obvious surprise, but he soon said in a mocking tone:
"Impossible, it must be a fake."
"If you say so, then so?"
Shi Jin became anxious. If he didn't want to buy it, then he didn't. Why was he throwing dirty water on others?
She reached into her pocket and took out the gold that she had "finely processed". The small hammer in her other hand was already aimed at the merchant's head.
There are many businessmen, if you can’t make it, just change another one.
Unexpectedly, the red-haired merchant didn't even look at the item in Shi Jin's hand, but asked confidently:
"What if I can prove that this is a fake?"
"If this is a fake, do you want it?"
"don't want."
"Then I'll sell it to someone else."
Shi Jin spoke helplessly.
What else can you do? No one thinks that everything sold on the black market is genuine, right?
Can selling genuine goods still be called a black market?
Now that you are here, whether it is true or not depends on your eyesight.
But she didn’t understand. Gold was a precious metal that she had learned about in school, so why did the merchant in front of her think it was fake without even taking a look?
She didn't know where her things came from.
Unable to figure this out, Shi Jin watched the red-haired merchant in front of him searching among the pile of bottles and jars on the ground.
With the help of the small electric light, she finally found what she wanted.
"Come, look at what it says."
Shi Jin leaned his head over,
"Dilute hydrochloric acid."
"That's right~"
The red-haired merchant took out a little liquid with a dropper and gently dripped it on the gold that was hammered into small pieces in the girl's hand.
Fine and dense bubbles continued to emerge, clearly reflected in Shi Jin's eyes under the light.
Her heart sank.
The red-haired merchant's sarcastic remarks came at the right time:
"It's copper-zinc alloy with a bit of lead. Don't touch it too much. You won't grow taller if you touch it too much."
Shi Jin left the other party's stall in shame.
The gold that was originally heavy in his hand became vague as if it had lost its soul.
Several times she even wanted to throw it out.
Although she knew that this thing could be exchanged for some information coins in the eyes of merchants who didn't know the value of it, it was fake after all. The huge gap in her heart made it difficult for the girl to accept it for a while.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her thoughts gradually became distracted, and she began to curse at things that had not offended her:
“Hope City sucks!
“The gold is also fake, and that director clearly looks very rich?
"Information coins are also garbage. I can't tell where the information is..."
A small piece of gold was eventually taken away by an unlucky guy at the price of 500 information coins. The other party also said that he would take as many as he could get in the future, and would pay more for those in good condition.
Shi Jin ignored the other party's shouting. She had originally planned to do business with each merchant only once to avoid being exposed.
After using most of the 3,300 information coins to buy some tools that could be used for processing, she left the sad place of the black market in disappointment.
"When will days like this end?!"
Shi Jin returned home and carefully wiped the blood off the small hammer - he still needed this thing at work and it would have a bad impact if others saw it.
Then, he fell headfirst into the quilt and slept until six o'clock the next morning.
Rubbing her eyes, she knew that another day's work was about to begin.
After searching for a while in the messy house, I found the work badge with the color worn out in the corner hanging around my neck:
【（Headshot）
Name: Shi Jin
Position: Maintenance Team Leader
Rank: 2
After tidying up his hair in front of the mirror, the arrogant thief "Miaoshou" who had been so reckless the night before walked out of the house in the form of a social animal, muttering to himself:
"Earn 4,800 a month and laugh every day~"
---
The black market of abandoned chemical plants did not end with Shi Jin's departure.
Dirty deals take place here, with batches of sellers and buyers coming and going.
Finally, a bright light appeared on the horizon, and the black market merchants, who had long been accustomed to the situation, rolled up their bedding and prepared to leave.
The red-haired businesswoman skillfully pulled the four corners of the black cloth in front of her, and a large pile of bottles and jars were wrapped in the middle.
She turned around in the chemical plant and entered the rarely visited underground floor from an unnoticed corner.
She kicked away the body beside her that was bleeding all over the ground, and she didn't know whether it was dead or alive, and gently took off the mask on her face.
Hope Parliament member Nia took vigorous steps and disappeared into the deep underground of the abandoned chemical plant.
