Chapter 626 -330: The Key to Advancing the Silver Apple Mother Tree_2
After successfully rendezvousing with the “Howling Wolf Roaring Tiger,” both warships headed straight for the entrance to the Chenxing black market.
Being a black market, although it involved a multitude of complexities, it clearly could not operate brazenly within the bounds of Holy Star City.
The entrance to the Chenxing black market was officially more than 0.5 light-years away from Holy Star City.
After one spatial jump, the two warships finally arrived at their destination.
“Is this… the entrance to a secret realm?”
Looking at the familiar space vortex corridor in the distance, Song Chi’s eyes were filled with surprise.
...
Previously, he had only heard about the Chenxing black market and had not known much about it.
Now it seemed that the black market was indeed quite imposing, using an entire Starry Sea Secret Realm as the venue for its transactions.
In the group chat, Wang Zhen replied respectfully,
“Yes, but it’s just a low-level Shattered Secret Realm, whose original environment has already been utterly destroyed!”
At the entrance to the black market, the market enforcement personnel stopped the two warships.
Of course, it wasn’t to check the identities of “Cang Qiong” and “Howling Wolf Roaring Tiger,” but to inform the two that personal flagships must be withdrawn before entering the market, in accordance with the black market’s regulations.
Neither Song Chi nor his companion paid much mind to this, and the two warships quickly entered the space vortex corridor ahead.
As Wang Zhen had said, this secret realm serving as the black market’s trading venue was indeed just a low-level Shattered Secret Realm, and it was unclear what it had been through. The Floating Land Fragment within the realm had almost completely collapsed, shattered by a mighty power.
The current trading platform in the realm was an air-based mechanical platform pieced together artificially.
The “Howling Wolf Roaring Tiger” and the “White Cloud,” formerly known as Cang Qiong and renamed for its “chameleon” feature, docked in the designated area for warships on the platform, and were soon withdrawn into their respective Ancestral Apertures.
Song Chi, now wearing a bionic skin mask, was led by Wang Zhen to start wandering around the entire trading platform.
Although it was artificially pieced together, the trading platform beneath their feet was still vast. At first glance, the number of Torch Ship Captains present was no less than five figures.
The large number of visitors, in turn, had forged the bustling market that the black market had become today.
Following Wang Zhen through various shops and stands, Song Chi saw a wide array of items.
Most numerous among them were various kinds of warfare materials, which were extremely popular at the time, as well as ship components of various qualities.
However, though there was a wide variety of items, they were mostly common goods; after browsing dozens to hundreds of shops, Song Chi had not seen anything that truly caught his attention.
Seemingly sensing his waning interest, Wang Zhen explained at his side,
“These are just ordinary goods. If you want something top-notch, you’ll have to wait for the black market auction. Otherwise, you can try your luck at a ‘Red Shop’.”
“Red Shop?”
Song Chi was puzzled, as it was his first time hearing this term.
Wang Zhen explained,
“Your Highness, a Red Shop is what insiders call places that specifically deal in all sorts of ‘stolen goods’.”
Upon hearing the term “stolen goods,” Song Chi instantly understood.
With the vast expanse of the Chenxing Yang Continent and the incalculable number of Torch Ship Captains mingling within, it was inevitable that conflicts arose amidst such large numbers.
In the course of conflict, naturally, various stolen goods would appear. Some items that were not conducive to open trade would be sold off in this black market.
Song Chi thought for a moment.
“Let’s take a look!”
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
Although he wasn’t very hopeful, the auction wouldn’t start for a few more hours, so it was worth a visit.
In the northeastern corner of the trading platform at the Mo River shop.
As soon as they entered the shop’s front door, Wang Zhen immediately uttered the appropriate secret passphrase.
Then he and Song Chi entered a hidden door on the side of the shop.
After stepping through the hidden door, Song Chi found the scenery before him suddenly transformed; items shining with various colored lights successively caught his eye.
At a glance, Song Chi noticed that the small sealed chamber was filled with over a hundred different Strange Objects.
Aside from a few blue components, the majority were Purple Quality components, and there were even components shimmering with orange light among them.
Wang Zhen’s explanatory voice soon reached his ears.
“Your Highness, this is the largest Red Shop in the black market. It is said to be backed by multiple Fourth Rank Level Contending Warships.”
Song Chi nodded slightly, showing no particular reaction.
Around the sealed chamber, several Torch Ship Captains who were standing in the corners also wore expressions of surprise.
Among them was a Fourth Rank Torch Ship Captain, and the others were seasoned Cruiser Captains. The Fourth Rank Torch Ship Captain was indeed the underground proprietor of the Red Shop.
They were familiar with Wang Zhen, a regular customer, and were aware that his Flagship had been upgraded to a Contending Warship. His status had significantly elevated, which was why the term “Your Highness” uttered by Wang Zhen aroused such intrigue and uncertainty in them.
At that moment, everyone’s eyes turned to Song Chi, who was by Wang Zhen’s side, filled with inquisitive looks.
It was clear that Song Chi, who had always seemed unremarkable, must possess an identity far from simple to have commanded such respect from Wang Zhen, who was nearly a full-fledged Contending Warship Captain.
Song Chi paid no mind to their gazes. Instead, his eyes moved across all the Strange Objects within the chamber.
Compared to the all-too-common components outside, there were indeed some valuable items among these stolen goods. However, he had yet to see anything that truly tempted him.
