After school,
Rhodes drove to a black market in the city.
The black market is a special place for gray transactions.
More than 90% of the things traded here are stolen goods of unknown origin, such as the goods that Brother Ni robbed for free.
Generally, they come here to sell. Although the source is questionable, the price is quite low.
It is only half or even one-third of the price in the mall. There is no need to worry about the black-eating-black thing happening when buying goods here.
Because the sellers are basically local snakes, even if the things you just bought are robbed, someone will help you get them back.
Some stores even have pre-order functions.
Customers can choose the goods they like, and there will be professional Brother Ni to go to buy them for free.
In short, this is a very magical place.
What’s more magical is that this place has a history of more than ten years.
But it has never been cleaned up by the relevant departments. One has to wonder if the upper class of the Lighthouse Country is deliberately indulging the contradictions between the lower and middle classes.
Encourage this behavior.
Transfer the resentment of the lower class to the middle class, and sacrifice part of the interests of the middle class to meet the needs of the lower class.
In theory, as long as there is a conflict between these two classes, the power structure of the upper class will be more stable.
It’s a simple method, but it’s very useful.
The people at the bottom have a hard life, so they go to those shops for zero-dollar purchases.
The shops buy insurance from insurance companies and get compensation from the insurance companies.
Insurance companies charge huge amounts of insurance, which is a sure profit.
It seems that no one suffers.
However, it feels outrageous when you think about it carefully.
In the past, crimes such as robbery and theft would be punished as felonies, at least there would be some fear.
However, a few years ago, some states have gradually begun to legalize zero-dollar purchases.
Among them, California, which is the most lenient in dealing with such things, has announced that”zero-dollar purchases” of less than $950 will not be filed.
It also further stipulates that store owners and store clerks are prohibited from preventing”zero-dollar purchases”, and any personal injury and legal liability caused by preventing the other party from”zero-dollar purchases” shall be borne by the store owners and store clerks.
This has caused the probability of zero-dollar purchases to skyrocket.
In just a few years, many insurance companies and stores have closed down.
If this continues, Rhodes feels that the Lighthouse Country is not far from civil strife.
But what does this have to do with him?
Even a world war would not affect him.
Guns, poisonous milk powder, big gold chains and small watches, and Brother Ni, who gathered to attract fans, and even streetwalkers wearing bikinis to solicit customers on the street.
Even in a dark corner, two hungry men and women were seen, who started fighting on the spot after taking drugs.
A bunch of people stood by and watched, and the number of people fighting quickly increased from two to three or five.
It was really an eye-opener.
Rhodes, who had never seen such an eye-catching scene, looked at the fat black girl and quickly retracted his gaze.
He felt like he was going to get stye if he kept watching.
Crossing the long street, he came to a store called Dad’s Weapon Shop.
As soon as he walked in, he saw the bright light around him.
Under the light, all kinds of weapons exuded a cold edge, reflecting the light like a mirror.
“What do you want?”
After hearing the noise, a middle-aged Chinese man with a bare upper body, thick body hair, and sweat all over came out, smoking a cigar. He was holding a hammer in his hand, and it was obvious that he had just finished his work. He took a few gulps of beer from the table, and then looked at Rhodes who was standing at the door.
“I want to buy some weapons.”
Rhodes looked at the cold weapons in the room with interest and felt that he had come to the right place.
“”Some?”
The boss looked at Rhode in surprise. It’s not that he hasn’t sold weapons before, but most people buy one or two weapons for collection out of interest.
There are few wholesalers like this.
“They are all here, you can choose whatever you want, but the weapons here are very expensive.”
“I’m just afraid you can’t afford it.”
Pointing to the weapons hanging on the walls on both sides, the boss said casually.
Rhodes nodded and started to walk around.
As he walked around, he suddenly found that the weapons here seemed familiar.
A big sword with red lines all over it and a charred spiral.
A big sword with a domineering shape, a goat-headed demon carved on the handle, and two glowing eyes.
Two wide short knives as long as forearms, connected by a chain.
An exquisite long sword forged from silver
“Fire Sword…Frostmourne…Chaos Blade…Silver Sword..”
“Yama Sword…Hidden Blade…Leviathan Battle Axe…Rebellious Blade…Destroyer Sword..Ebony Ivory..Holy Whip…”
“Wow, it’s quite complete.”
Rhode’s mouth twitched. He never thought that the owner of this weapon shop was actually a game enthusiast.
These weapons are all classic equipment in the game.
It must be said that this forging skill is really amazing. It is almost a perfect one-to-one reproduction of the appearance of these games, and the quality is also good.
Rhode even found a full set of knight armor and eternal barrier shield in the innermost.
For a moment, the look in his eyes when looking at the boss became more complicated.
This boss is a bit complicated.
“Don’t look at me like that, it’s all for a living.”
The boss looked at Rhodes’ eyes and couldn’t help shaking his head.
His family had been blacksmiths for generations, and he liked this industry.
However, in this era, who would buy cold weapons? No matter how good your kung fu is, you can’t stop a bullet.
At most, there would be a cold weapon collector who would come to buy one.
But people can’t starve to death, right?
So, he made a difficult decision that went against his ancestors.
Innovate!
Since ordinary cold weapons couldn’t be sold, he made the weapons look special.
He found all kinds of classic equipment models on the Internet, made finished products, and sold them at high prices to those game enthusiasts who have a hobby of collecting.
The result was very good, and the store’s revenue soared tenfold.
He could barely support himself.
