Chapter 308
"Dude, have you ever been to the City of Ten Thousand Races?"
Jiang Yi shook his head: "I haven't gone yet."
Brother Niu said with some regret, "You might not know that although the City of Ten Thousand Races also has places for trading items..."
"But in the City of All Races, the tax rate is very high."
"Moreover, both the buyer and seller must pay taxes on the game!"
"This makes buying things in the City of Ten Thousand Races extremely expensive! And selling things yields very little profit!"
Jiang Yi nodded slightly.
Brother Niu continued, "However, the City of Ten Thousand Races also has its advantages."
“For example, buildings like the Tower of Immortality and the Colosseum... as well as grand events like the training camps and selection competitions for the prodigies held by various races, are basically all held in the City of Ten Thousand Races.”
"The main reason is that the City of Ten Thousand Races does not allow killing. The second generation of wealthy races can live there and their safety is guaranteed."
Jiang Yi knew these things.
When he went to the Colosseum, he could see a lot of spectators.
The rankings, including the Beast Fighting Ranking, the Prodigy Ranking, and the Legendary Ranking, all feature many exceptional talents.
However, it is common knowledge that top geniuses generally do not touch the special roulette wheel.
Therefore, their way of getting to the arena was certainly not like Jiang Yi's, through a special lucky draw.
Instead, you can use the special buildings in the City of Ten Thousand Races to log into the Colosseum.
You can also buy some "Colosseum Passes" to take home, so you can use the Colosseum function even when you're not in the City of All Races.
In short, in the world of whales (players who spend a lot of money on in-game purchases), many things become simple.
Jiang Yi followed Niu Bawu to the square in the 18th district.
He spotted the Rakshasa statue he had made a promise to Lu Li at a glance.
However, their agreed time was 8:30, and it's only 8:00 now.
Jiang Yi turned his gaze to the stone tablet in the center of the square, where he saw the three major black market lists.
Among a dense list of unfamiliar names, I finally found one I recognized—
Ranked 208th on the wealth list: Que Yun.
Jiang Yi shook his head and sighed, and Brother Niu next to him also sighed:
"Sigh... we can just take a look at these kinds of lists and leave it at that."
"Those who make the list are from a completely different world than us."
"Even if you have some connections and wealth, you still have no chance compared to those tycoons who are deeply rooted in the black market!"
"Hey... come on, come on, bro, I'll take you to play some games that we ordinary players should... oops, I mean, games we should play for free!"
Brother Niu was in high spirits, looking like he could really get something from the black market merchants for free.
Jiang Yi was about to leave with him when he suddenly caught sight of a figure.
He was dressed in a black robe, his head covered by a hat, and he was holding a sword.
I stood by the Rakshasa statue for a while, but then, perhaps feeling it was too early, I had to leave.
Jiang Yi thought for a moment, then walked over and stopped the man.
The man in black robes not only pulled his hat down low, but also wore a ghostly mask, making him look quite cold.
When Jiang Yi stopped him, his aura turned cold, and his voice betrayed no age: "What do you mean, sir?"
What does that mean...?
Jiang Yi pointed to his eyes and whispered, "I forgot to wear my blindfold."
?
The man in the black robe stared at Jiang Yi, his eyes filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
Jiang Yi thought for a moment, then said more bluntly, "Old Lu? I am... Wu Qi."
The name has nothing to do with "Jiang Yi" but it sounds like "Wu Qi".
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief. He could tell that Jiang Yi was also wearing a disguise, but he didn't investigate further.
only……
He then turned to look at the minotaur next to him.
Brother Niu understood immediately and lowered his voice:
"Goodness, buddy, I didn't come to the black market alone. Is this a secret code?"
Jiang Yi ignored him and instead explained to Lu Li again:
"This is Brother Niu, the tour guide I hired for a single penny."
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the person who could say such a thing was indeed more like a human.
He was about to scrutinize Jiang Yi, but realizing it was most likely an act, he stopped worrying about it and gave a meaningful laugh.
"You're in '57,' right? You didn't sneak out of some teacher's assessment training, did you?"
Jiang Yi's eyes flickered, then widened for a moment: "Good heavens! Old Lu is indeed Old Lu! How did you know?"
Lu Li chuckled again, but instead of answering, he corrected her:
"Don't call me 'Old Lu' anymore, I should be about your age."
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "I used the 'lao' with the 'single' radical, the 'lao' of 'big boss'!"
"Hahaha!" Lu Li laughed heartily.
That smile made the atmosphere between the two much more harmonious.
Lu Li put his sword into his spatial storage, glanced at the minotaur, and asked Jiang Yi, "Shall we wander around and have some fun first?"
Jiang Yi nodded: "Yes, that's what I plan to do."
Niu Bawu quickly chimed in, "Let's go! Those two guys are following me..."
He paused, then suddenly asked, "Have you two taken any longevity pills in the past hour? How about we go to the pill gambling arena first?"
"During the Black Market Grand Event, the price of gambling pills was 40% off compared to usual!"
"The Longevity Pill, which originally cost five units of currency, can now be bought for only three units of currency!"
"Furthermore, according to the grand event, those who take elixirs on-site and increase their lifespan by more than 6 units will receive different levels of rewards!"
Lu Li seemed to know all this. He raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "I deliberately kept my belly full, just for the sake of gambling on the pill!"
He added, "I'm lucky, I might win an award."
Upon hearing this, Niu Ba Wu couldn't help but glance at Lu Li a few more times.
Unfortunately, Lu Li was disguised too much, wearing a black robe and a mask, so it was impossible to tell what was going on.
But Niu Bawu knew, or rather, all the players of all races knew—
Players who dare to say they are lucky are often indeed lucky, and are likely to grow into strong players.
The Black Market Festival, which awards prizes based on luck, is, to some extent, a gesture of goodwill towards the strong.
Jiang Yi had no intention of gambling on the pill.
However, he had stockpiled a batch of golden longevity pills and was looking for a place to sell them for time coins.
So he naturally agreed and went with Lu Li to check out the alchemy arena.
The casino is located in the most bustling area of the 18th district, always packed with people and incredibly lively.
Even though the site is extremely large, you'd probably have to wait in line to gamble on the pills on-site.
Jiang Yi was about to say that Lu Li was in line and he would go and look around elsewhere when...
Suddenly, amidst the cacophony of voices from the crowded room, his name was mentioned—
"Hey! Have you heard about Jiang Yi at the Colosseum?"
"I haven't heard about the Colosseum, but I have heard about the Information Network! An expert's title dropped from Lv5 to Lv4 because of him! And that expert is unhappy about it, and it seems he's about to appeal!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I heard that the expert's point of view was that Jiang Yi really only had 5,000 in all attributes during the first six matches! His strength increased in a short period of time afterward!"
"How dare that expert spout such nonsense? Has his brain been spun out of shape?"
"It might not be a lie after all. I heard the information network is seriously reviewing this matter!"
"I've heard about it too. That Jiang Yi seems really strange! Maybe he really did wrong the expert!"
"Really? How spooky is it?"
"Let's head to Zone 1 after the pill-gambling ends! I heard that Jiang Yi has set up a life-or-death arena in Zone 1! He's incredibly arrogant!"
"Holy crap? Really? Is this a rumor?"
"Of course it's real! I'll show you the holographic projection!"
As they were talking, the guy actually showed off his camera.
Many people in the queue, including veteran Niu Bawu, also looked at the photo ball with great interest.
Jiang Yi was completely stunned when he saw this.
He thought to himself: If he is Jiang Yi, then who am I?
However, Lu Li was even more bewildered than him!
Lu Li stared blankly at Jiang Yi, thinking to himself:
He is Jiang Yi, then who are you?
This meetup... could it be the wrong person?!
