Alliance System: Void Fear with Unlimited Growth

There are five dimensional cracks in Wuling District, three of which are concentrated in the west.

Naturally, the west side has become the most important gathering place for extraordinary people.

Of course, various extraordinary organizations are also established here, including the extraordinary alliance, and... the black market!

Since ancient times, chivalrous men have used force to disrupt the ban.

When most people in a group are armed, fist violence will naturally be the first choice when encountering problems, and the binding force of the law is greatly reduced.

This is especially true in the Extraordinary Era, a world where competition is fierce and cruel, and the strong are highly respected.

When foreign enemies are unable to cause genocide to mankind, mankind's greatest enemy is mankind itself.

All kinds of darkness breed in the shadows of cities, and the same is true in the wild.

In order to practice dimensional cultivation and dimensional crystallization, it is not uncommon to kill people and seize treasures.

However, the operation of a city or even a country still requires some rules, so of course some items with "unknown origins" cannot be openly traded on the regular market.

The black market was born.

Also because of the special nature of black market transactions that cannot be exposed to light, prices are naturally different from those in the regular market.

For example, for a skill crystal worth millions, the black market price would not exceed 800,000 at most, but the purchase price would be at least 1.2 million.

In the corner of Wuling West District, there is an area similar to a slum.

There are various shops on both sides of the street.

On the surface, they run some ordinary small businesses, but secretly about half of them are black market transactions.

The resources within the dimensional rift are not just various dimensional crystals.

The leather, armor, muscles and bones of some dimensional creatures are the best materials for making weapons and armor.

The essence, blood and meat of some dimensional creatures are also great supplements.

The dimensional power in the dimensional crack is extremely full, and some treasures will naturally be born...

…

Sunday, July 11: Cloudy, 28~33℃...

8:45 am.

A shop called Wang Ge Grocery Store has just opened.

There were no lights on in the store, so it wasn't very bright.

A handsome-looking young man with long hair was sitting in front of the counter, holding a mobile phone and playing games there early in the morning, and it seemed to be a card-drawing game.

"Grandma Li knocks on the door, open! Open! Open the damn door! Open! Open! Open! Open! Open..."

The long-haired young man was drawing ten cards in a row, shouting "open" every time he turned over a card.

But he is not possessed by the chieftain, and all the cards he draws are blank slates.

Until the last stroke of ten consecutive strokes, golden light suddenly bloomed, making the eyes of the long-haired young man shine brightly.

"Wow ~ golden legend!"

The long-haired young man obviously got the best card, and he giggled with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Congratulations."

The sudden sound of congratulations in his ears made the long-haired young man subconsciously reply, "Same joy, same joy...".

Then the smile on his face froze and he looked up.

In front of the counter, a customer came unexpectedly.

In the summer, he wears trousers and a coat with a somewhat see-through material, a peaked cap on his head, and a pair of sunglasses on his nose...

With this look, the long-haired young man could guess that the other party was not doing serious business.

After all...who would be a serious person to dress like this!

And this person is naturally Lin Li in disguise.

When he came to the black market for the first time, he was not very nervous, but he was a little worried that he would be cheated.

However, before coming here, he had checked some information about the black market online, so he came prepared.

"Just dressed like this, it's 100% that she's coming to the black market for the first time..."

The long-haired young man made his judgment immediately, then smiled and asked, "Do you want to buy something?"

Lin Li replied: "I'm here to sell something, a crystallized skill."

"I understand, come with me."

The long-haired young man understood clearly, and without asking what level of skill it was, he stood up and walked towards the back of the store.

They all chose to come to the black market, so there is no way they can sell junk black iron skills!

The long-haired young man entered the store and opened an iron door to separate. He waved to Lin Li and walked in first.

Lin Li paused, then quickly followed.

After crossing the iron gate, my eyes suddenly opened up.

Different from the darkness outside, this place is extremely bright, and the decoration style is more traditional Chinese style.

Directly opposite is a wooden counter, where a middle-aged man is busy.

There are many products hanging in the window on the left, mainly various types of weapons, armor, medicines, and simulated crystals of various dimensional crystals.

Lin Li was immediately attracted by some hot weapons and equipment, such as pistols, spray guns, Gatling... and big treasures like rocket launchers!

There's even a metal suit similar to Iron Man's...

The technology tree of this world is very strange.

Because of the dimensional storm, the scientific and technological road of Blue Star mankind suddenly took a sharp turn halfway, and all mankind began to climb the road to transcendence.

Despite the general environment, there are still some scientists who persist in the path of science and technology.

However, due to insufficient funds, it was naturally unable to make any big waves, and then it entered a vicious cycle.

After the advent of dimensional equipment, purely technological weapons were completely ignored.

Compared to equipment and weapons that can transmit dimensional power, who needs those scraps of metal?

So from a technological perspective alone, Blue Star's technological civilization is not higher than Earth's, and is even far inferior in many places.

Humans created airplanes because they couldn't fly...

But extraordinary people can fly!

Not only can it fly within the planet, but it can also physically cross the void...

Of course, that level must only be achieved by a master level or above.

But if you just want to fly high in the sky, many skills can do it.

Since I can fly, why spend a lot of manpower and material resources on research and development?

Ordinary people can't fly?

Whether it is Blue Star or Earth, high technology has never been developed to benefit ordinary people.

For example, the network that everyone is accustomed to now is a communication method developed and built for military purposes.

Lin Li looked at these weapons and equipment and remembered some hero skills.

Let’s not talk about the shooter skills. There are also many heroes whose skills are technological.

For example, Piltover's rich and handsome Jace, for example, the mechanical pioneer Three Hands...

If these heroes' skills appeared in the real world, I don't know what the effect would be.

"Like these weapons?"

A sudden sound in his ears interrupted Lin Li's thoughts.

He came back to his senses and looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

He is about forty or fifty years old, 1.85 meters tall, with a Chinese character face, a full beard on his chin, and his piercing eyes looking at the hot weapons in the window.

"It's okay..."

Lin Li nodded noncommittally and said casually: "This is a romance for men."

The man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was even a little excited.

Looking at the strong and well-dressed Lin Li, he regarded him as a confidant and laughed: "Haha, just based on your words, I will give you a 20% discount on any purchase today!"

Before Lin Li could speak, the man pointed at the firearms and equipment in the window and continued: "And these treasures in the window, all of them are discounted by 30%!"

The man is the owner of this shop. His surname is Wang and his given name is Ronggang. He loves these hot weapons that have been abandoned by the times.

"Thank you, but it's a pity..."

Lin Li shook his head and didn't say anything that was a pity.

But Wang Ronggang looked understanding, sighed, shook his head and said: "I understand, I understand!"

What do you understand?

Lin Li was speechless, then he scanned the surroundings and found that the long-haired young man was no longer here.

After thinking for a while, he went straight to the point: "You are the boss here, right? I have a silver skill crystal here that I want to sell."

"It's not urgent. Let's talk while drinking tea."

Wang Ronggang's expression remained unchanged, and he took Lin Li to a private room with some enthusiasm.

For him, a silver skill is not a big deal.

It's rare to meet a "fellow" person who is interested in technology and equipment, and you'll definitely want to talk about it.

Although Lin Li was a little anxious, he still had the patience to chat with the other party.

He will definitely come to the black market to buy and sell in the future, and it is still necessary to have a good relationship with a shop owner.

An hour later, the two people who "met each other so late" were already "brothers and brothers".

"Brother, there are too few people as knowledgeable as you in this era. You can only amuse yourself with a group of old guys on the Internet by 'enclosing your own territory'..."

With a smile on his face, Wang Ronggang said with some unfinished thoughts: "We had a lot of fun chatting today and almost forgot about the real thing. I didn't delay your business, right?"

"I haven't had such a happy chat in a long time."

Lin Li quickly waved his hand to show that there was no delay.

When we first started chatting, he deliberately catered to Wang Ronggang.

But after we actually started talking, we became a little bit conceited and even argued with each other.

Wang Rong had just opened his business and couldn't see any changes, so he was certainly happier.

Once a person is happy, he will naturally be easy to talk to. Wang Ronggang waved his hand and said boldly: "Show Brother Wang what silver skill it is, and I will give you 10% off the market price."

"Thank you in advance, Brother Wang, but...if it's 10% off, then Brother Wang, you may still have to lose money."

Lin Li shook his head and smiled.

"Hey, it seems like your silver skills are still good, bro?"

Wang Ronggang still joked nonchalantly: "Just think of it as a fee for chatting with me for an hour. Take it out and show me what it is."

The price of silver skills fluctuates greatly. The cheaper ones only cost a million, while the more expensive ones cost tens of millions.

If calculated based on 10% off the market price, then a skill with a market price of 5 million would cost 4.5 million, while the normal black market purchase price is between 3.5 and 4 million.

Huge profits are definitely huge profits, but the price of store fees on the black market is very shocking.

In fact, it is equivalent to protection fees.

If we don't pay this money, we won't be able to open a store here at all.

Lin Li knew about the black market before he came, so he said that Wang Ronggang might lose money.

Under Wang Ronggang's gaze, Lin Li took out the silver skill and placed it on the wooden table between the two of them.

"Thunder Body...it's really a good product!"

Wang Ronggang's eyes lit up, and his body unconsciously moved closer. He was the one who wanted to eat this meal, and he could judge more than 99% of the skills on the market through the lines on the crystal surface.

"How about it? Do you still want to receive 10% off the price?" Lin Li smiled slightly.

"Brother Wang, I am in business, and credit is more important than anything else. If I say 10% off, I will get 10% off, no less than a dime!"

Wang Ronggang said with a smile on his face and patted his chest.

"Then I won't be polite."

Lin Li was also a little happy. It was worth spending so long chatting with him!

The market price of the thunder body skill is 12.5 million, but the price on the black market is only 10 million at most.

Now if we discount it by 10%, it would be more than 11 million.

He can directly swallow energy crystals to improve his level, which is a true bottomless pit.

This extra one million can buy a lot of experience points and skill points.

"It's rare to meet someone you are so compatible with, brother, it's not a bad thing!" Wang Ronggang said with a smile.

In fact, he won't lose money and can still make a lot of money.

If the skills Lin Li uses are popular, he will indeed make hundreds of thousands less.

But the popular items like Thunder Body are different. The regular market price can easily fluctuate by millions, and the price on the black market is even more exaggerated.

If you are more patient, the 12.5 million thunder body skill can even be sold for a high price of 20 million, and it will not be painful to make a million less.

Although Wang Ronggang fell in love with Lin Li at first sight, he would not tell the other party about his secrets in business.

Wang Ronggang looked at Lin Li in disguise and asked jokingly: "Brother, do you want to pay the money and deliver the goods now?"

Lin Li shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, I want to buy some black iron grade energy crystals and skill crystals from you."

"That's easy to say. I'll give you the same 10% discount here." Wang Ronggang smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Brother Wang."

Lin Li was not polite, and then he pondered for a moment and said: "I want a hundred energy crystals of average quality or above, and give me thirty skill crystals. Any type of skill will do, as long as it's the cheapest."

"No problem, I'll arrange it for you right away."

Wang Ronggang didn't ask Lin Li why he wanted so many black iron crystals, and neatly took out his mobile phone and called the warehouse.

…

Half an hour later, Wang Ronggang personally sent Lin Li out.

Arriving at the pretentious outer room of the shop, Wang Ronggang suddenly smiled and said: "As the saying goes, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. I won't ask you for your real name and contact information. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to my place more frequently. How about that?"

"I'll definitely come back, and it won't be long." Lin Li was in a very good mood and nodded directly after hearing this.

If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to swallow up all the dimensional crystals when I go back today, and I will have to come over to buy them then.

Whether it is Void Fear's identity or this time's "stolen items", they are all shady.

If you go to a regular market and trade fair and leave your personal information, it will be troublesome to check it later.

After the two chatted for a while, Lin Li waved goodbye to Wang Ronggang.

After Lin Li's figure disappeared on the street, Wang Ronggang shook his head and showed a meaningful smile.

He said to the long-haired young man who was playing with his mobile phone: "Ah Shui, follow him."

"Second uncle, I'm busy. You and that boy are so close to each other. If you're worried, why don't you go by yourself!"

Wang Qingshui put down his phone and said with some displeasure.

"You know how to play this crappy game all day long, can the paper man be your wife?"

Wang Ronggang heard this and said fiercely: "Hurry up and follow me, I still have a big deal to negotiate."

“Isn’t the second dimension better than the third dimension?”

Wang Qingshui muttered helplessly, then stood up and walked outside.

"Move quickly!"

When Wang Rong just saw Wang Ziguang acting like a streetwalker, he was so angry that he kicked him.

"What are you in a hurry for?"

Wang Qingshui took advantage of the situation and jogged forward for a few steps, then patted his butt and chased in Lin Li's direction.

"You don't know it when a sheep joins a pack of wolves. I'm still too young..."

Wang Ronggang stood at the door of the store and shook his head.

On the other side, Lin Li had just passed through the shopping area and noticed a lot of looking eyes.

He frowned slightly, then quickened his pace.

When he left the shopping area and entered the slums, he finally confirmed that someone was following him.

He continued to quicken his pace and began to run unconsciously.

Suddenly, two figures suddenly appeared from the corner in front of him, blocking his way...
