Black Tiger scratched its head with its paw, looking somewhat troubled. It could only sense treasures, not people, so it probably couldn't help its master.
"Master, I'm sorry, I can't."
"It doesn't matter."
Fat Tiger, however, was eager to try, saying, "Master, I've been by her side before, and I'm very familiar with her scent. Maybe I can help you find her."
Luo Jingyan had her own concerns, "But what if she recognizes you if you go out?"
"It's okay. If I don't want to go back to her space, she can't force me back. If she finds out about me, I'll just run away. I won't come to you directly; I'll make sure she finds me in your space."
"Alright then, Fat Tiger, can you help me find out if she's here?"
Luo Jingyan found a corner and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, released Pang Hu.
Fat Tiger is fat and looks clumsy, but he is very agile when he moves. He can jump and run several times faster than an ordinary cat.
Cats are generally very clean, but in order to avoid being noticed and to prevent Zhuang Feifei from recognizing it, Fat Tiger had Luo Jingyan smear some mud on its shiny white body. That way, when people saw that it was dirty, they would think it was a stray cat and wouldn't think of catching it.
The filthy fat tiger weaved among the vendors' feet. After a dozen minutes, it came to a man's feet, sniffed, and smelled a familiar scent.
Upon closer inspection, this person's physique bears a striking resemblance to Zhuang Feifei's.
This time, Zhuang Feifei dressed up as a man in his forties with a short beard.
The last deal with Master Biao ended in a complete loss, and she even lost a batch of goods. But at least she had millions of resources in her spatial storage, so the deal didn't hurt her too much.
She decided to contact Boss Biao again this time, and when they made the transaction, she would personally oversee the goods. She didn't believe that so many things could disappear under her watchful eye.
Even if there really are other space-age ability users like her in this world, they probably wouldn't dare to openly reveal the existence of their space in front of her. At worst, she could just reveal her space and take the goods back.
She has too many supplies in her space. If she doesn't sell them, she could never use them all even if she spent two lifetimes. If she doesn't convert them into money, they'll just be wasting their time in her space.
She was tending her baskets and selling eggs when she suddenly noticed a dirty white cat standing at her feet. The cat seemed to resemble Gian.
But Gian is always very clean and would never get himself this dirty. Is it really Gian?
When Fat Tiger noticed she was watching him, he didn't rush to run away. Instead, he ran to the other vendors at the same speed as before.
Zhuang Feifei thought she was overthinking it. There are plenty of white cats in the world, so it shouldn't be Fatty Tiger. The fatso wouldn't react like that when he saw her.
Fat Tiger obtained useful information and immediately reported it to Luo Jingyan.
"Master, that woman is dressed as a thirty-year-old man and is selling eggs over there. She even has a fake mustache on her face, so she's easy to spot."
"OK."
Luo Jingyan sent Pang Hu back into the space, and the kitten crawled into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and stood under the tap to wash itself.
Black Tiger gently rubbed its fur with its paws and even applied the shampoo that Luo Jingyan used to its body.
Because there was no cat-specific shampoo in the space, Luo Jingyan had to use her own.
Black Tiger rubbed a lot of foam on Fat Tiger's body, sniffing it and saying, "Mmm, it smells so good."
Fat Tiger enjoyed Black Tiger's scrubbing service, gradually leaning back in the bathtub and almost falling asleep.
Luo Jingyan's basket was empty because she had come specifically to find Zhuang Feifei today, so she didn't put anything in the basket to sell; her current role was that of a buyer.
She walked up to Zhuang Feifei, bent down and pretended to pick out the eggs Zhuang Feifei was selling. After looking at them for a while, she whispered to Zhuang Feifei, "I wonder if you have any more eggs? I want to do a big deal with you."
Zhuang Feifei scrutinized him closely. He was dressed casually and carried a basket on his back, showing no airs of a black market boss.
Seeing the questioning look in Zhuang Feifei's eyes, Luo Jingyan knew she would doubt her, so she said, "Do you think someone who really wants to do business would flaunt it everywhere? Do you think I don't look like someone who wants to do big business?"
He took out a thick wad of ten-yuan notes from his pocket—actually, from his storage space—showed them slightly to Zhuang Feifei, and then stuffed them back into his pocket.
"What? Don't you believe me?"
Zhuang Feifei was about 70-80% convinced, so she squatted down and spoke to Luo Jingyan in a low voice.
"How many eggs do you need?"
"You can have as much as I want?"
Zhuang Feifei was confident that the twenty tons of eggs in her space would not be enough for the people in front of her.
However, having learned from her previous experience, she didn't dare to agree to too many things this time.
"It certainly weighs several hundred kilograms."
"Several hundred kilograms is fine, but this is our first time doing business together. If you ask for too much, I won't dare to accept it. Can you give me five hundred kilograms at once?"
Zhuang Feifei felt that this person was somewhat trustworthy and didn't seem like the type to double-cross someone.
"Can."
After Luo Jingyan finished asking her question, she was about to get up when Zhuang Feifei stopped her and asked, "I have other supplies here. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
Luo Jingyan pretended to hesitate for a moment, "Can we find a quieter place to talk?"
"Can."
Zhuang Feifei carried a basket with a few eggs on her back and followed her out of the black market, arriving at a corner.
Luo Jingyan asked, "What other supplies do you have?"
"Grains. Rice, wheat, some other grains, and apples, pears. I also have sugar and salt."
Zhuang Feifei only mentioned some items that were commonly circulated on the black market; she wanted to keep some things to herself from the person in front of her.
Luo Jingyan was short of sugar and salt, and said, "To be honest, I've already harvested a lot of grain. What I'm really short of now is sugar, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and frozen fish and shrimp. The New Year is coming soon, and these things are in high demand."
Zhuang Feifei was secretly delighted; she had all the things Luo Jingyan had mentioned in her personal space.
However, she still needed to be cautious and couldn't just give it all away at once. She didn't speak, but Luo Jingyan said, "Give me another five hundred catties of sugar and a thousand catties of salt, is that alright?"
“Okay,” Zhuang Feifei readily agreed.
"Okay, let's trade this much for now. If it goes well, we can talk about bigger deals later. Let's discuss the price. If the price isn't right, we can talk about it again."
