Chen Ping confirmed, "That's right, the token has been activated, and the black market is now open to the public. Let's go, Linafil."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ping activated the teleportation function using the black market token, and instantly, a black portal appeared. Linafiel observed it curiously for a moment, then followed Chen Ping and stepped into the portal. The next instant, the portal disappeared from the spot.
Before them lay the location of the black market. Linafil looked around and found that the scene was not much different from that of an ordinary port, and couldn't help but remark, "Is this the black market? It looks no different from an ordinary port."
Chen Ping explained with a smile, "The black market is essentially a trading venue, so it won't look particularly special on the outside. But it's a special auction organized by the government, where participants can conceal their true identities, which attracts many people."
More importantly, official auctions on the black market limit items to ten, and each item is often a rare and highly sought-after treasure, which is one of the reasons why so many people flock to them.
Linafei nodded in agreement after hearing Chen Ping's explanation, and the two of them went straight to the nearest queue to wait for entry. Chen Ping observed that there weren't many people in line, only about a dozen, and he estimated that the wait wouldn't be too long.
To allow Linafil to enter the black market more quickly, Chen Ping put her ahead of him in line. Soon it was Linafil's turn. Chen Ping took out the token given to him by the Black Commander and said to the black market staff, "We came together; please check our credentials."
Upon seeing the token in Chen Ping's hand, the staff member's eyes widened immediately, and they responded with exceptional respect: "So it's a distinguished guest. A warm welcome to both of you. Please come in."
Chen Ping was somewhat surprised by the staff's change in attitude. After all, the token in his hand was given to him by Hei Dashuai, and Chen Ping had assumed it was just a top-tier membership token. He hadn't expected to receive such high treatment. Just now, he had seen someone take out a top-tier membership token, and the staff had only briefly verified it before letting them through.
Despite his doubts, Chen Ping didn't dwell on it and led Linafiel directly into the black market. Once inside, Chen Ping was surprised to find that the goods displayed in the core sea area weren't all unknown, mysterious items; some were clearly labeled with their attributes and uses.
In this way, Chen Ping and Linafeier could more clearly select goods according to their needs, which made Chen Ping feel that this trip to the black market was more convenient and efficient.
Chen Ping suggested, "Linafil, let's wander around and see what resources are beneficial to our Heart of the Divine Island. If we find anything suitable, let's buy it."
Linafil readily agreed, and the two began browsing the black market. Whenever they encountered resources that might benefit the development of the Heart of the Divine Island, Linafil would use her negotiation skills to try and secure a reasonable price. Throughout the process, they reaped considerable profits, spending millions of Origin Gold Coins to purchase a large quantity of supplies.
Despite the considerable expense, Linafil believed the investment was worthwhile, as the purchased supplies would provide substantial assistance to the Heart of the Divine Island.
Moreover, they are not short of Origin Gold Coins now. Both their own reserves and the daily income generated by the Heart of the Divine Island Treasure Chamber are already quite considerable.
Since storing the gold and silver treasures obtained from the Pantheon in the treasure room, the treasure room has been upgraded to the highest level, producing 1 million to 10 million Origin Gold Coins every day, which makes it easy for them to purchase the necessary resources.
......
Boom boom boom!!!
Suddenly, a series of dense and solemn drumbeats rang out. Linafiel asked in confusion, "What is that sound? Why are the vendors around packing up their things?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping immediately recognized the meaning of the drumbeats and explained, "This is the signal that the black market auction is about to begin, and we need to hurry over to attend it."
Upon hearing this, Linafeier immediately understood, nodded, and followed Chen Ping out of the stall area, heading towards the auction venue.
Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the auction house, and sure enough, there were a lot of people.
Starting from the advanced sea areas, Chen Ping rarely saw races with unusual appearances. Well, it's not that he didn't see them at all, but most races had been transformed into human-like forms, though they all retained some racial characteristics.
Yes, even Lu Shu and the others are like that. No, it should be said that once they reach the level of a main god, they like to transform into human form.
The same applies to the core sea area. Of course, you can't see them in the black market. Everyone is shrouded in black mist, but their sizes are still somewhat different, especially the exaggerated ones.
Of course, people who know each other can disappear from the black mist separating them. That's what Chen Ping and Linafei did. It was Hei Dashuai who told him about this method.
The waiting period was not long. After they showed their tokens, the staff respectfully guided them to a private room on the top floor of the auction hall.
The staff member politely inquired, "VIP, this is your private room. Is there anything else we can do for you? If not, I will take my leave now."
After considering it for a moment, Chen Ping made a request: "I don't have anything else to do right now, but could you please get me the most complete set of data on the core sea area?"
The staff member quickly responded, "Okay, please wait a moment, esteemed guest, I will bring it to you right away."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded and then led Linafeier inside.
Chen Ping checked it out and found it to be quite nice. The room not only looked comfortable, but also had fruit platters, snacks, desserts, and drinks.
Chen Ping glanced at them and raised an eyebrow. A divine fruit of God-King level? And these snacks, desserts, and drinks were not simple items; they were all of God-King level quality.
Linafil picked up a divine fruit and examined it, then said, "Huh, it's actually a fruit that can be propagated? Hehe, we just happen to not have any, we can take it back and plant it, what do you say, Island Master?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping stroked his chin and said, "Hmm, okay, but wait a moment. When that staff member arrives, have him prepare one of each type of fruit and bring it over."
Upon hearing this, Linafiel said, "You can do that?"
Chen Ping: "Hmm, it should work. The token that Commander Hei gave me looks very prestigious, not just a top-tier membership token. Otherwise, the staff wouldn't have been so respectful to me."
