"This is for gathering people to hold the loudspeaker."
Xiao Yunting glanced at the two men who passed by and entered the store. The earthy smell on their bodies could be clearly smelled from a distance.
Ye Lan knew how to hold the speaker.
This is the code word used by tomb robbers. Generally, if they want to raid a large tomb complex, they have to find some tomb-robbing experts to join them, in order to avoid any accidents that might prevent them from taking the treasures.
It was obvious that the boss was waiting for his colleague.
The real transactions in the black market are things that are shady and cannot be put on the table.
"The Hunter District is a bounty-paying utopia, where murder and arson are unregulated by law. That's why so many people flock to the Ghost Market every year." Ye Lan explained his understanding, but there was also something he couldn't understand. "But why don't they go to the official trading market in the Hunter District?"
The so-called official trading market refers to registering and formally entering the bounty of the search team into the system. In this way, the system can not only help them organize the team quickly, but also improve their task execution rate and increase their chances of survival.
In Ye Lan's opinion, the Hunter District's bounty mechanism, which is outside the law, is simply a paradise for criminals.
It can also prevent employers from cheating and refusing to pay afterward.
However, Xiao Yunting said with a look of complete nonchalance, "Because some of them are already on the bounty list with low credibility and have a history of gangster-on-gangster behavior. Some are afraid of overlapping bounties, and their prices can't compete with others. Some employers are afraid that their targets are also on the bounty list, so no one dares to take the order."
Just by giving some random examples, you can find so many reasons.
"Increasing the survival rate means some people can't be killed, and some tombs can't be entered." Ye Lan nodded slightly, and understood immediately. "Just like where there is light, there is darkness. Especially in areas of desperadoes, black markets will emerge as a result."
That system can only protect some people who value their lives, and it cannot completely change everyone's views.
Therefore, the black market is more mixed and more dangerous.
While the two were talking at the door of the store, the group of girls who had just separated also rushed over. When they learned that the others had already gone to other stores, they couldn't help but grumble.
"Why don't you wait for us? But that's normal. This place is really magical, and the tarot readings are super accurate. The ones I met before were all charlatans, but here everyone is a master." As the girls talked, the topic turned to divination and calculation.
It turned out that in just a short while, they had already visited three or four fortune-telling shops, witnessed more magical fortune-telling methods, and each of them bought a lot of small items to bring good luck.
"Ye Lan, this is for you." A girl handed over a crystal necklace, her cheeks flushed slightly as she said shyly, "I've always liked you, but I didn't dare to disturb you. I never thought I'd have the chance to hang out with you. I hope you like this energy-enhancing crystal."
It turns out he is an invisible fan.
Ye Lan saw the power of faith emanating from the other person, so he pointed to the other thing in her hand and said, "I like this one better. Can I exchange it?"
The girl was stunned, and seemed a little reluctant, but she nodded quickly and generously handed over the black crystal chain she had chosen. "They are all worthless things. As long as you like them."
"Thank you." Ye Lan thanked him and put the crystal chain directly on his wrist.
She has fair skin and slender and well-proportioned wrist bones, which look luxurious and beautiful with the sparse black crystals, as if it is not just something worth a dozen dollars, but a priceless jewel.
The girls stared at it in amazement, and for the first time they thought this black thing was so beautiful.
However, Liu Yalan on the side secretly curled her lips, thinking that the girl was acting like a celebrity and openly stealing other people's favorites, which was uncultured.
Thinking of this, she shook her lips and shifted her gaze to the man next to the girl.
"Mr. Yun, this is for you."
Xiao Yunting turned his head and saw a pink crystal chain under his eyelids.
"No need." He refused without thinking.
Liu Yalan's face stabbed, and she almost lost her face. She quickly added, "This is a pink quartz that enhances your love luck. It can make your relationship with Miss Ye even better. Since it's worn by a boy, and I don't have a boyfriend, I'm giving it to you as a blessing."
Xiao Yunting didn't want to accept things from a stranger, but when he noticed the words "increase love fortune" in the other party's words, he paused and took the things after two seconds.
"Thanks."
Ye Lan on the side was a little surprised.
"You're welcome." Liu Yalan was proud of the girl's reaction, and at the same time she was ecstatic about talking to a man for the first time. Her cheeks flushed slightly with excitement.
At this time, the girls who were traveling with her looked at her with strange eyes.
"Lanlan." Her best friend Ren Jiarong pulled her aside and frowned anxiously, "Didn't you say you were going to give the necklace to the boy you liked? Why did you give it to Mr. Yun?"
"Ye Lan is your idol, so good things come in pairs. I just did it for you." Liu Yalan said nonchalantly.
"But haven't you already dripped blood on it? The master said that dripping blood means recognizing the owner, and it will be your marriage crystal from now on." Ren Jiarong still couldn't understand.
Liu Yalan pursed her lips and said firmly, "You must have seen it wrong. I didn't bleed at all. How could I possibly do it if it hurt so much? Oh, it's just a crystal bracelet. Look at you making such a fuss. Can I really have thoughts about other people's boyfriends? Is that what you think of me?"
"Lanlan, I didn't. That's not what I meant." Ren Jiarong was asked back, and immediately felt guilty, thinking that she might have seen it wrong before. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Don't be angry."
Liu Yalan was coaxed back by her. Although she pretended to be serious, she was secretly relieved in her heart. Her eyes fell on the pink crystal on the man's fingertips, and she couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
Then the group went to the store in front to meet up with the others.
Ye Lan lagged behind as usual, strolling leisurely with little interest in the surroundings. However, when she caught a glimpse of the pink crystal on Xiao Yunting's wrist, she was slightly startled. "I didn't expect you like pink so much."
After all, they have been together for such a long time, and the man has always had a cold and intimidating image. These little girl's things seem a bit out of place on him.
The two are holding hands now.
Hearing this, Xiao Yunting raised his hand, revealing the crystal chain on his wrist, and said indifferently, "Increase your love luck."
This answer made Ye Lan stunned for a long time before he reacted. Then he turned his head away and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Haha, it's because of this." She finished laughing, her eyebrows still curved, shrouded in the faint light of the street, and a faint tenderness in her eyes. "It's true that this crystal bracelet can enhance marriage, but it requires a drop of blood to recognize the owner to bind the other party, similar to the love Gu in Miaojiang. However, this crystal bracelet is already stained with someone else's blood."
Xiao Yunting paused and frowned immediately.
He took off the bracelet from his wrist and held it in his palm for less than two seconds. The hard crystal immediately turned into powder.
"Will this still affect me?"
Seeing his cold expression and his seriousness in confirming the effect of the crystal bracelet, Ye Lan couldn't help but smile, "If it had any effect, do you think I would let you wear it?"
