Chapter 101: Underground Black Market "The boss is so perfunctory in doing business, it's not...
"Boss, you are so perfunctory in doing business. Isn't you afraid of offending the bugs?" Lin Xi spoke in a low voice, but it was only for the low-level bugs. In the eyes of the high-level bugs, this was simply looking for trouble blatantly.
The boss's eyes suddenly opened: "Sir, your voice is a bit loud and disturbed me."
Lin Xi smiled faintly. He really did it on purpose. "Really? I'm really sorry."
The tone of the apology was very perfunctory. If the boss had a bad temper, he might have been irritated.
The boss closed his eyes again and said, "What would you two like to buy?"
Muas said: "Two reasonable identities."
The boss said, "There are three price ranges: the worst is 100,000, the middle is 500,000, and the best is 5 million."
Pesticide and arson gold belt, it turns out that the gray industry is full of huge profits, Lin Xi thought so.
Muas took out an anonymous Star Card and placed it on the counter: "Two hundred thousand."
Once the money arrives, everything will be easy.
The boss snapped his fingers, and a small robot bug emerged from behind the counter. It opened a storage box in its abdomen, pulled out two chips, and handed them to the two bugs. "Welcome back next time."
The little robot bug's voice was cheerful.
But Lin Xi clearly saw a box full of chips in the abdominal cavity of the little robot insect.
Each piece is worth at least 100,000 star coins, and he really wants Chong to snatch it from him.
The guest insect left, the surrounding aura completely disappeared, and the boss opened his eyes again.
Of the two black-robed insects that just came in, one was very strong, and the other one gave the insect a strange feeling, but no matter how strange it was, it had nothing to do with him.
It was obvious that these two bugs were from outside the area, and they probably came for the black market. However, there have been some changes there recently. Once they entered the underground black market, whether they could get out alive depended on their luck.
The boss closed his eyes and dozed off again.
After leaving the grocery store, Linxi and Muas inserted the chip into the optical brain and changed their appearance according to the image on it.
After changing their appearance, their appearance value is greatly reduced, and they are less likely to be discovered by insects.
"You shouldn't talk like that in the store." Muas said a little worriedly.
"Don't worry, he's a smart guy. He only wants to make money and won't rob others." Lin Xi said confidently.
"What did you sense?" Muas asked.
He could sense that the boss was very powerful. There were artillery pieces hidden on the walls of the grocery store. Once activated, no insect would be able to walk out of the store alive.
"The boss doesn't have any murderous aura, nor does he have any major emotional fluctuations." Lin Xi said.
"It's still too risky." Muas felt that Lin Xi's behavior was not desirable.
"Okay, then I will be more careful next time. After all, you are with me, and I can't let you take risks with me." Lin Xi said.
"You know, that's not what I meant..." Muas began.
"I understand, my wife is worried about me. I will be more careful next time." Lin Xi said.
Muas closed his mouth. He agreed so quickly, but he had to really do what he said.
As the night deepened, the animal head symbol appeared in the darkness. It was a small pattern, lifelike, and looked ferocious and terrifying.
After the insect pushed aside the grass and saw the pattern, it pushed the grass back again.
"Found it, the entrance is nearby."
The sound disappeared with the wind, and two black insect shadows disappeared at the end of the road.
A deep entrance leading to the underground appeared, and a sinister aura spread out, like a big mouth, licking out fear, and like the ferocious beast head, it swallowed up all the insects that entered.
"I'm in front, you follow behind me." Muas took out the lighting equipment, held one in his left hand and gave the other to Linxi.
"Okay." Lin Xi responded. His reaction was not as quick as Muas's, but as a task, he did listen to the other party.
They walked through a long, dark corridor and passed several forks in the road. Lin Xi and Muas returned to the original route many times, but this time the end of the road was still a stone wall.
Another dead end.
The two insects were a little annoyed and were about to return the same way, but for some reason the wall suddenly moved. Perhaps it was a sensing wall that would open when it sensed an insect approaching.
The light shining from the other side of the wall was too dazzling for the insects in the dark, so they subconsciously closed their eyes.
"Welcome to the underground kingdom, two distinguished guest insects."
The door opened, and outside was a servant waiting, wearing an animal head mask exactly the same as the guiding sign.
"This is the first time for the two guest insects to come here." The servant insect spoke again.
Lindsey and Muas looked up, realizing the other person had made a statement.
Muas's eyes became deep, as if he was evaluating something.
The attendant chuckled softly, "Don't worry, my dear guests. Bugs guided by guide bugs won't enter the black market through such a crude entrance again. The guide bug for this entrance just happened to die outside yesterday. Since you two have come from such a long way, please come in. As long as we have the star coins, there's nothing we can't find out."
The bugs that come here are basically here for these.
But Lin Xi's pupils shrank slightly, and he was a little surprised as to why this servant insect knew their purpose. This passage also revealed a terrible news. It seemed that the black market was too well-informed.
An underground black market may have reached a terrifying level of control over the entire planet.
Muas's body also stiffened slightly. He should have found out more about the situation. He came in so rashly and implicated Lin Xi.
But Muas changed his mind and thought, if he didn't enter here, this force was so huge that he probably wouldn't be able to find out any information, and it would be easy to alert the enemy.
They could think positively, perhaps this servant insect was just testing them.
"Dear guests, please come in." The servant extended his hand to invite.
There is no other choice for now, I can only follow the footsteps of the servant insect and enter.
The stone gate closed, as if it was a signal. Lin Xi opened his eyes and found that the stone gate not only completely closed the darkness and tranquility of the corridor, but also revealed the prosperity and noise here.
The world inside is completely different from the outside, like a split plane that divides it into two worlds, positive and negative.
The streets are bustling with the sounds of insects, filled with a dazzling array of goods, and lined with shops and tall buildings. Except for the walking insects wearing black robes and hoods or masks, it is no different from a bustling city.
However, the world on the ground is a bit deserted, even depressed, but unexpectedly there is a nest of gold and silver underground. Those who don’t know would think that the cities on this planet are built underground.
Although Lin Xi and Muas were wearing black robes, they still put on a mask each.
When I first saw it, I thought the mask was big and ferocious, but it fits my face very well and there is no sense of foreignness.
"What do you two distinguished guests want to buy here?" asked the servant.
Lin Xi said after careful consideration: "Not buying, but selling."
The attendant's eyes flickered twice, and he seemed a little surprised. He paused for two seconds before saying, "What are you two guests planning to sell?"
Lin Xi glanced at Muas and signaled with his eyes. The other party took out a gem. The gem was very large, and each facet reflected a brilliant light. It was obvious at a glance that this was a top-grade gem.
The gem was gorgeous and dazzling, sparkling under the light. The attendant lowered his head to take a look and knew that it was a good thing, but only one thing would not be enough here.
The attendant shook his head.
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow: "Not accepting it?"
The attendant said, "Dear guest, this is indeed a rare gem, but there is only one. It is not enough to trade with the shops here, so I can only sell it as a retailer on the streets."
Lin Xi's expression was a little stagnant. They came in to inquire about the news, not to set up a stall.
Lin Xi said: "We want to find a place to rest first."
The attendant said, "Yes, but you two haven't completed a transaction yet. You can only stay here for two hours. You must leave after two hours, otherwise..."
Shi Chong smiled but didn't say what the consequences would be.
But even if the other party didn't say it, Lin Xi knew that they had revealed their wealth here, and no matter what their identities were, the final result would only be death.
Lin Xi had a headache. Did he ask them to take out more gems for trading?
The result is still death, the only difference is whether you die early or late.
Lin Xi suddenly thought of something and took out a small bottle from the space button. When he was about to hand it to the servant insect, Muas grabbed his wrist.
"Distinguished guest?" The servant looked at him with some doubt.
Lin Xi took Muas's hand away with his other hand and said, "Just some leftovers."
The pheromones collected from air filters are indeed just scraps.
But Muas was in a bad mood. Not to mention Lin Xi, even Shi Chong seemed to feel the suppressed anger in the other party.
But it was just anger.
Muas crossed his arms and looked away. Lin Xi had already completed the handover with the attendant insect.
The bottle was sealed tightly. Shi Chong wanted to open it, but Lin Xi stopped him and said, "I think after you know the result, you must really hope that we can discuss things in a quiet place."
Shi Chong heard the seriousness in Lin Xi's words, looked at the sealed bottle again, and decided to follow the other party's advice.
"The two distinguished guests, please follow me first."
The attendant insect brought Lin Xi and Muas to a luxurious club.
As the three insects appeared, a servant insect who was entertaining guest insects came over and said, "Xiao Wu, where did you recruit these new insects? They don't look very profitable, and you just brought them to headquarters so casually. Be careful if the main insect finds out and sends you to wait on the insects at the banquet."
"Xiao San, people in our line of work must understand that words can cause trouble. Even though you have replaced the previous person, it does not mean that you can always hold this name." said the attendant codenamed Xiao Wu.
Xiao San's composure was obviously not as good as Xiao Wu's. Just being told one sentence made her chest heave with anger.
"You are number five standing behind me, and you dare to talk to me like that!" Xiao San said angrily.
Xiao Wu chuckled: "It seems that you were released without any training. Whose bed did you climb into that makes you feel so confident?"
Xiao San's face flushed red, like a chicken with its lifeblood pinched, unable to cluck or cluck anymore, because this sentence hit his sore spot.
