Chapter 114 Underground Black Market (3)
Xia Yu finally decided to put the matter of the kapok balls aside for the time being and finish shopping around the rest of the underground black market first. After all, it was already twelve o'clock and he should go back early. He couldn't take Teacher Long out all night again. What if the gatekeeper found out? How would Teacher Long live in the future?
As the night goes on, the underground black market becomes more and more lively. All kinds of evildoers come out, and more and more people set up stalls.
"Let's continue watching." Xia Yu said.
"Okay." After walking around for such a long time, Long Yanning didn't buy anything and perfectly fulfilled the duties of a bodyguard.
The two of them have now walked around most of the night market, and so far they have only seen one Elite-level Pokémon. This made Xia Yu sigh that this was the level that normal people could only access. In a top-level underground black market like the Imperial Capital, after walking around most of the black market, there was only one Elite-level Pokémon. It can be imagined that underground black markets in other places may not even have Elite-level Pokémon. It is simply impossible for ordinary people at the bottom to become Elite-level trainers.
Xia Yu couldn't help but think about why his king-level Buzz Bat's Pokémon egg appeared in that place. The appearance of a Buzz Bat's Pokémon egg in the Zubat group meant that there must be a female Buzz Bat or Sonic Dragon.
Xia Yu couldn't figure out what was going on, but he didn't care. He had already got the elf eggs anyway.
…………
As it was getting dark, Xia Yu had to speed up and use the system's power to buy things frantically.
"It's rare, anyone who buys it is an idiot."
"Overlord level, just make do. I can't get any more elf eggs now, so I don't want it."
"This is a Doudou pigeon with ordinary qualifications. Damn, it's so rubbish. Whose pigeon laid this egg? Bad review."
…………
In the remaining one-third of the underground black market, Xia Yu's luck was not so good. After visiting almost all areas, only a small area was left, and he did not encounter a single elf egg with quasi-king level or above. This made Xia Yu a little frustrated. At this moment, he suddenly heard a quarrel in the crowd.
"I was the first one to see this thing. You are a rude young man." The speaker was an old man in a Tang suit, about sixty years old, but in good health and full of energy.
"The highest bidder wins. There is no such thing as first come first served." The person who had the argument with him was a young man in a suit, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and looked very gentle.
Xia Yu and Long Yanning, who were wearing masks in the crowd, also gathered around to watch the fun.
The well-mannered man in a suit also spoke up at this time: "I'll pay 40, you are just bullying this old man for being honest and wanting to buy such a good elf egg for 20."
Everyone looked at the old man who was selling the elf eggs. He was wearing dark, worn clothes and was covered in dust. His face was old and dark and his fingernails were black, which made people feel pity for him. He held the elf egg obediently and watched the two people arguing in silence.
"I found this Pokémon egg near Longtou Mountain a few days ago. I asked someone to look at it and they all said it was a dragon Pokémon egg. I came here to sell this Pokémon egg to my son as a betrothal gift."
Xia Yu and Long Yanning, who were on the periphery of the crowd, looked at each other when they heard the words "dragon-type Pokémon".
"Let's go in and take a look." Xia Yu lowered his head and said to Long Yan Ning.
"There are so many people here, how do we get in?" Long Yan Ning looked at Xia Yu and frowned. The crowd was so crowded that they couldn't squeeze in even if they wanted to.
"Look at me."
Xia Yu looked into the crowd, his eyes fell on the beautiful back of a woman. His eyes turned, and he suddenly shouted: "Look, the big star Lin Shumeng is here, the living big star Lin Shumeng is here, it's really Lin Shumeng, I recognize you even with makeup on, I'm your die-hard fan, Lin Shumeng, give me an autograph!"
As Xia Yu shouted, the crowd who were originally watching the excitement looked outside, and saw that in the direction of Xia Yu's finger there was a woman whose figure was somewhat similar to Lin Shumeng.
"Is it really Lin Shumeng?"
"real or fake?"
"Shu Meng, I'm your fan!"
"These legs are definitely Shu Meng's. I can recognize them even if she's wearing black stockings!"
The crowd rushed out, and Xia Yu took the opportunity to grab Long Yanning, protecting her in front of him, and squeezed into the crowd frantically. I am the only one who can take advantage of Teacher Long, no one else can!
By the time the crowd realized they had been cheated, Xia Yu and Long Yanning had already squeezed into the crowd.
…………
At the same time, the three people were arguing fiercely, and a simple and honest man in the crowd suddenly exclaimed: "Longtou Mountain, is it the Longtou Mountain more than 60 kilometers north of the imperial capital?"
"Which Longtou Mountain?"
"Why haven't you heard of it?"
"Of course you city folks don't know. Only those of us living in the villages near Mount Longduo know that Dragon-type Pokémon eggs have been found frequently in Mount Longduo in the past year or two, and even a Quasi-God Pokémon has been found there."
…………
The heated discussion among the crowd made everyone understand the whole story, and their eyes became eager when looking at the elf egg.
"This is it!" Suddenly, someone seemed to have discovered something, looked at the elf egg and shouted, "One price, I'll give you 100 million, old man, sell this elf egg to me."
The old man who made the first bid was furious when he saw the price soar from 20 to 100 million. He said, "Well, you don't want me to buy it, right? Then forget about buying it."
The angry old man in Tang suit shouted loudly: "This Pokémon Egg of the Jaw Ant, its final evolution form, Desert Dragonfly, is a Pokémon with both ground and dragon attributes. It is extremely powerful. The qualification of this Pokémon Egg is definitely above the Quasi-King level."
As the old man finished speaking, the crowd became extremely excited and came forward to carefully identify the elf eggs.
"It really is a giant jaw ant's elf egg. Such a big elf egg, it must have extraordinary talent."
"I'll pay 110!"
"I'll pay 120!"
Long Yanning on the side was also very excited when she saw the giant jaw ant's elf egg. The giant jaw ant's elf egg had a shiny surface and deep mud-yellow patterns, which represented the rich ground energy. At the same time, the egg was also large in size. One could tell at a glance that this elf egg had extraordinary qualifications.
The price quickly soared from 120 million to 200, and only Xia Yu watched it all coldly, because he could clearly see that this elf egg was a dead egg, and the giant jaw ant inside it was already dead.
The reason why the pattern is so bright and the egg is so big is because the person selling the elf eggs coated a layer of something on the outside of the eggshell, forcibly thickening the elf egg and increasing its size, and then carved a mud-yellow pattern on it. It looks lifelike after being aged.
After knowing that there was something wrong with this elf egg, Xia Yu looked at the people who were arguing, as well as the person who had just introduced Long Duoshan in the crowd, and the person who had raised the price. He felt that there was something wrong with all of them. They were probably in the same group, just waiting to trap him.
The capital is indeed a big city, and the tricks are complicated. Fortunately, I have a system and I am one step ahead. It is really dangerous.
Xia Yu was not fooled, but it was obvious that others had been fooled. Seeing that Long Yanning beside him seemed to be about to bid, Xia Yu gently squeezed Long Yanning's hand, which made Long Yanning react. Until now, the two of them were holding hands, and they quickly broke free.
Xia Yu whispered, "If there is a problem, don't buy it."
