Chapter 333: Visiting the Black Market Again, Trying to Intercept
Underground of the Mecha City.
Black Market Exhibition Hall.
Generally, auction items sent to the black market will be registered in advance, and there are very few people who register on the spur of the moment. Ye Jiaojiao and Si Ming found the black market security personnel and were taken to a registration room where they were the only two people besides the staff.
A supervisor in charge of the registration office glanced at Si Ming and Ye Jiaojiao. His impatience subsided when he noticed their extraordinary aura. "You two, there are only a few minutes left before the market opens. We may not be able to add temporary items successfully."
If ordinary items were added in after the auction officially started, not only would the black market not be interested, but even the distinguished guests would not buy into it.
The black market manager's words are meant to be a suggestion. I hope Si Ming and Ye Jiaojiao will consider it carefully.
Si Ming, with his ordinary face disguised as before, glanced at the black market manager lightly without saying a word. Ye Jiaojiao curled her lips and without saying anything more, she took out the prepared fruit from the space button.
What Ye Jiaojiao brought to the black market auction tonight was a batch of high-quality peaches. As soon as the items were taken out, the faint sweet aroma of peaches spread out. Although it was not that strong, its presence could not be ignored.
"What is this???" The supervisor stood up with a whoosh, his eyes wide open, staring at the peach in Ye Jiaojiao's hand, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it and have a look.
Snap——
Si Ming, who had been silent all this time, moved. He waved his hand casually and knocked the black market manager's hand away cleanly.
The supervisor felt a burning pain on his skin and quickly withdrew his hand. There was a hint of surprise and fear in his eyes as he looked at Si Ming.
Witnessing her own Ah Ming's domineering and bullying side, Ye Jiaojiao pretended not to notice, still maintaining a simple and harmless smile on her face: "This is a peach. Can it be added to tonight's auction items? I'm in a hurry."
“Yes, yes, yes!!!” The supervisor was a connoisseur. He could guess that this peach was definitely not an ordinary one just by looking at and smelling it. He quickly took Ye Jiaojiao and the other person to the testing room.
Entrance items need to be inspected during registration to ensure the authenticity of the items.
Put the peach on the tester, and it will give a detailed report in a short while.
As soon as the report came out, the supervisor and Ye Jiaojiao each got a copy. At the same time, relevant data was also obtained in another room.
Beep beep——
Test report——
Scientific name: peach, edible fruit.
Nutrition: A+
Energy: S-
Value: Rare, currently unpredictable
"Is cocoa an edible fruit? Energy or... or S-?" The supervisor stared at the test report stupidly. He looked as if he had been struck by lightning, full of disbelief.
After wasting some time here, it was already past midnight.
The sounds of discussion outside gradually came in.
The auction in the front hall has begun.
"Now that the testing is over, it should be okay, right?" Ye Jiaojiao didn't have the patience to look at this man in a daze. She frowned and reminded him in a cold voice.
"Okay, okay, I'll register the item for you now!" The black market manager, having regained consciousness, was filled with ecstasy and nodded repeatedly. At this moment, another figure suddenly appeared at the door and interrupted him: "Wait."
"Manager Raphael?" When the supervisor in charge of registering the auction items saw who was coming, the anger on his face instantly faded away and he obediently stepped aside.
Taking his subordinate's place, Raphael stood opposite Si Ming and Ye Jiaojiao. After sizing them up for a few moments, he slowly lowered his burning gaze to the peach still resting on the detector. "These rare fruits contain S-energy, and even at the annual market, they would be the highlight of the auction. Are you two sure you want to sell them today?"
Raphael is the person in charge of the black market this month. He rushed over as soon as he received the special test report screened by the optical computer.
A rare fruit, and it also contains S-energy, which is too rare.
Raphael looked at the peach with a determined look. He confirmed with Ye Jiaojiao, but his mind was rapidly thinking about his own little thoughts.
"Sure." Just after dealing with one person, another one came, and it was obvious that this one was even more difficult to deal with. Ye Jiaojiao completely lost her patience and her expression changed. "So, can this be arranged?"
"No problem, I can add these peaches to the auction items at any time." Realizing that Ye Jiaojiao had lost her patience, Raphael was worried that the peaches he was about to get would slip away, so he immediately agreed.
After the words fell, Ye Jiaojiao's expression improved a little. Raphael pondered for a moment and suddenly changed the subject: "Madam, if you are in a hurry, I can buy these peaches from you at a high price. You can name your price."
Acquisition?
And let her name the price?
What does this mean? Is this a plan to steal her lot? Is this a plan to withhold her items internally?
"Ah Ming, do I look like someone who is short of money?" Ye Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and let out a series of crisp and hearty laughs. After she finished laughing, she looked at Si Ming with an innocent face and blinked: "Ah, no, it seems that I am really short of money, so what price should we offer this person?"
The purpose of going to the black market and selling the rare fruits in the eyes of the people of the empire was to pave the way for Ye Jiaojiao to use the fruits in cooking in the future. Ye Jiaojiao and Si Ming had never considered selling the fruits for money.
Si Ming knew that Ye Jiaojiao was deliberately joking with him, but Raphael didn't know.
Raphael thought Ye Jiaojiao was ignorant, but was tempted by the price Ren Kai mentioned, so he asked his companions what price would be a good one.
Greed grew in his eyes, and before Si Ming could speak again, Raphael said, "Before this, the black market only had some fruit seed auction data as a reference. How about this, Madam, you brought ten peaches, and I'll buy each one for 100 million star coins."
One hundred million star coins for a peach?
Wouldn't she have made a net profit of 1 billion in one go?

These fruit trees transplanted into the mustard seed space were all transplanted by Ye Jiaojiao when she passed by some orchards. After being nurtured by the spiritual energy of the mustard seed space, they do contain high energy and high nutrition. However, are they so valuable?
Last time, someone sold the medicinal food she made on the black market, and it seemed like they only got five or six hundred million, right?
If high-quality ordinary fruits are so valuable, what about spiritual fruits? Can they be worth a hundred times more?
Money-loving Jiao was silent for a moment, and for a moment she wanted to be a profiteer.
Ye Jiaojiao didn't say anything. Seeing this, Raphael felt that Ye Jiaojiao was intimidated by the price he offered.
Just as he put on a smug smile and was about to make a deal, the overwhelming mental pressure in the testing room suddenly swept through, forcing Raphael and several staff members waiting nearby to turn purple in the face and unable to breathe.
Behind Ye Jiaojiao, Si Ming's face turned cold, and the mental pressure of 3S spread rapidly around with the testing room as the center.
In the trading exhibition hall and the auction house, everyone was shocked by the momentum, and they were all worried that something big had happened.
"Sir, please don't be angry." Raphael finally realized how wrong he was and said weakly, suppressing the fear in his heart. He decisively chose to sacrifice his life over money: "I will register the item for this lady now and send it to the stage for auction immediately after registration. I'm sorry, I broke the rules just now."
