Chapter 21: Brutal Deterrence



"I'm sure everyone is curious about what I want to sell. Don't worry, I will never compete with you for business. The things I sell are very common and can be considered necessities."

Lin Xingyou stood on the steps, and through the dim yellow candlelight, she took in pairs of eyes, some dark, some bright, and some with malicious intent.

She jumped down the stairs, took out the iron basin that had been with her from the card, and placed it on the stairs.

"I have steamed buns, vegetarian dumplings, fresh meat dumplings, and mineral water here. There is no limit on the quantity. First come, first served." Her bright eyes were filled with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Tang Yi stood beside her, his face extremely serious, always paying attention to what was happening nearby.

After the food fell, seeing that the people around him were getting restless, Tang Yi approached with a cold face and reminded them, "In the black market, there is no such thing as not being able to use supernatural powers. When both sides fight, life or death is not a matter of life or death."

"I know." Lin Xingyou replied in a low voice.

In the black market, those who are capable take the throne.

Most merchants have fixed stalls, and newcomers are the piece of meat in their mouths.

Seeing the food, some people naturally couldn't sit still. They fastened their masks and rushed towards the two of them.

A strong wind was coming, and Lin Xingyou held the thin sword tightly under his robe. He curled his lips in a smile, and a hint of cruelty was revealed in his low hum.

"Broken hand."

The thin sword was swung out, blood splattered, and a whole arm lay quietly on the stall next to it.

“Ahhhh——my hand!!”

Lin Xingyou's movements were so fast that people could only see an afterimage. By the time the man reacted, intense pain spread from his shoulder to his entire body.

"Let's go together!"

The people in the dark knew that they couldn't win in a one-on-one fight, so they could only choose a group fight.

"Break a leg!"

"Cut the palm!"

"Shave your nose!"

"Cut your ears!"

Lin Xingyou murmured one sentence after another, and he was like an evil ghost demanding lives in the eighteen levels of hell. As he wandered around, screams could be heard one after another.

"My legs, those are my legs, don't grab them!"

"Take me to find a healer, I can't live without my hands!"

"It hurts! My nose, my nose is gone!"

"Devil, she is a devil."

There are no rules in the black market. Whoever grabs the dropped item owns it.

It didn't matter whose parts they were, they could just take them outside and sell the meat to people outside the shelter.

Choosing who to eat is the most normal thing in the last days.

Blood was splattering and the strong smell of blood lingered at everyone's nose. People in the black market had long been accustomed to it.

"Do you want me to help you?"

Seeing that Tang Yi was slow in responding, Lin Xingyou asked a question.

"I can."

Tang Yi replied immediately, fearing that Lin Xingyou would think she was useless and kill her as well.

She exuded a cold aura and worked even harder to help Lin Xingyou deal with the extra people.

Those people should be thankful that they were the ones facing off against them, otherwise they would be the ones lying on the ground wailing now.

"Retreat! Retreat!" one of them shouted in horror.

"Go quickly, your life is more important."

They hit a hard wall today.

Those people were familiar with the terrain of the black market, and Lin Xingyou had no intention of chasing them. He put away his sword and tore off the bloody veil.

"I haven't chopped anyone in a while, so I can't control my strength." She said calmly, as if no one was around.

As the veil fell to the ground, everyone could see this charming face in the candlelight.

This guy has such a good-looking face, I wonder what his figure is like...

Many people just thought of this, and when they met the cold eyes of the beautiful woman, they instantly restrained their thoughts.

It’s better to stay away from roses with thorns.

"If no one wants to come up, I'll have to sell my things." She spoke calmly, but with a firmness that brooked no room for argument.

No one spoke.

She put on a new veil, still light purple, adding a touch of mystery to her charming face.

After waiting for a while, no one came forward. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, you have no shortage of supplies, but you don't even look down on fine pasta."

The merchant who had just made a profit hurried forward and began to ask about the price.

Next was Tang Yi’s matter. She had also heard about the price Lin Xingyou was selling at in the trading market before.

"It's delicious, it's really a white flour bun!"

"Yes, it tastes sweet again!"

"Fresh meat buns, there's real meat in them!"

"I'll have some too."

"I want one too!"

At first, everyone just thought that with such means and the courage to show up in the black market, the strength of this beautiful woman was unpredictable.

I just took her things, and now I still have to pay for it to avoid getting into trouble.

I didn't expect it to be real food.

"Mineral water also has a sweet aftertaste before the end of the world."

Someone had a dry mouth and bought three bottles of water to try, and they found that it was not purified groundwater.

Real mineral water will have a sweet aftertaste when you drink it when you are extremely thirsty.

The black market was so noisy that someone had reported it to Yan Ze. When he arrived, he saw a peaceful business situation.

"That person is Lin Xingyou who was kicked out of the trading market by the Zhao family." Someone reminded him in his ear.

Yan Ze glanced at him with his narrow eyes, which were somewhat deep, and then turned back to his office.

"Wait until she closes her stall and ask her to come to my office."

"yes."

Lin Xingyou was making a lot of money here. When the show was over, Tang Yi asked in a low voice: "Why do you only sell cooked food?"

Compared to cooked food which is stored for a short time and sold in smaller quantities, fast food is easy to preserve and should be sold in larger quantities.

People with special abilities should be willing to buy, and more people will come!

Putting away the iron basin, Lin Xingyou replied naturally: "The fixed quantity of cooked food can increase popularity. What I want is just to bring down the price and disrupt the market."

She needs to earn crystal cores and carry out her plan.

"Hello, Ms. Lin. My boss wants to see you."

While the two were talking, a man in black clothes came in front of them, and he did not hide his true face.

"Who is your boss?" Lin Xingyou raised his eyes.

"My last name is Yan."

Lin Xingyou's eyes suddenly brightened, "Let's go."

Tang Yi was about to catch up with Lin Xingyou, but the man politely stopped her, "My boss only invited Miss Lin."

Lin Xingyou said, "Wait for me here."

"good."

Tang Yi looked at the two people's backs as they left, worry in his eyes.

Yan Ze, the manager of the black market, has not been in good health since the head of the Yan family was injured in the occupation of the shelter. The Yan family almost lost the third seat.

It was Yan Ze who turned the tide, found a mysterious person to take charge, and let his sister Yan Fei control the Yan family's traditional Chinese medicine to prevent poisonous fog, which secured his current position.

Except for large-scale meetings, the head of the Yan family will attend in person, and the rest of the time is basically left to Yan Ze.

On the surface, it was Yan Ze's sister who was in charge of Chinese medicinal materials and cotton fabrics...

The actual decision will depend on Yan Ze’s opinion.

Later, he founded his own black market, which not only facilitated the lower classes, but also facilitated transactions with the upper classes.

To cooperate with such a scheming person is like trying to get the skin of a tiger. You never know when you will be bitten back.
