Shi Xi poked Di Chenxiao's chest with her index finger. Di Chenxiao stopped carrying the periodic table on his back and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Your memory is amazing!"
"Your memory isn't as good as yours!"
Shi Xi: "...I want to hear nursery rhymes."
"good."
Nursery rhymes entered Shi Xi's ears and mind, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep and had a good night's sleep.
The next day.
The day everyone had been eagerly anticipating had finally arrived.
Shi Xi got up early in the morning, ate breakfast, and then went to the black market with Di Chenxiao.
The black market was not, as Shi Xi thought, built underground and gloomy; rather, it was built above ground level, with three floors, and its surface was no different from other buildings.
However, the guards at the entrance were strict, each with a cold and stern face, exuding a murderous aura.
Security measures include a guard every three steps and a team every five steps, with cameras monitoring everything inside and outside the house without any blind spots.
The people on the first floor were noisy and argumentative. Some even got into fights over price, while others would directly steal goods.
The people on the second floor are generally more well-behaved than those on the first floor, and there are no fights or brawls.
The third floor is a place only top-tier individuals like Di Chenxiao and Bai Yanlang can access.
Shi Xi followed Di Chenxiao directly to the third floor, to the middle room, a room comparable to the presidential suite.
Di Chenxiao poured milk for Shi Xi, moved the snacks and desserts on the table in front of her, and only after making sure that Shi Xi would not be wronged did he start watching what was happening downstairs.
Only Shi Xi and Di Chenxiao were seated. Di Shi, Di Wu, Di Jiu, Di San, and Thirteen were standing on both sides. In the past, Shi Xi would have made them all sit down, but now it seemed inappropriate to make them sit down.
"Xiao Xiao, are there always this many people attending the black market?" Shi Xi asked Di Chenxiao in a low voice.
"Pretty much. Here they can buy things they want but can't usually get, including some that are out of print, rare, or life-saving."
"Oh." Shi Xi nodded as if she understood but not quite.
"This place is just a venue for them. They can buy or sell based on their own abilities, but no one can die here."
No deaths can occur. This is a key rule that Di Chenxiao added this year, and everyone must abide by it, otherwise they will be hunted down by the Dark Night.
Di Chenxiao didn't want Shi Xi to see anything too bloody, so this year's black market had many more restrictive regulations.
Forget it, she doesn't plan to buy anything anyway. She'll just quietly be a foodie!
Soon, Shi Xi was proven wrong; she was too bored and wanted to go out and have some fun.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm going to go downstairs and take a look. You stay here and keep an eye out for anything you want. You don't need to follow me!"
Di Chenxiao glanced at his watch. "Alright, have Di Shi and Thirteen follow along. If anything happens, just say my name."
"Okay! I'm not a child anymore."
Shi Xi waved impatiently, followed by Di Shi and Thirteen.
She went straight to the first floor. As soon as Shi Xi came down, many people stared at her, but because of Di Shi behind her, they dared not go forward.
"Ashi, can I buy anything here?"
Indra, wary of the crowds coming and going, said, "Although it's called the black market, it doesn't sell everything that's unavailable through normal channels, but most things can be bought here. Of course, it can also be used to save lives."
