Chapter 289
The question that Qu Jianlei asked was really ignorant. The ability rice and crystallization are really different.
The former is firmly in the hands of the military and is exclusively used by military soldiers.
From planting to distribution, it will not flow to the society at all, and it is amazing to provide some benefits to the top officials of the government.
But crystallization is different, as long as you can hunt and kill strange beasts, you can get crystallization.
Most of the crystals were purchased by the government, but it is not a big deal if someone gets the crystals and is willing to deal with them by themselves.
In the final analysis, the government cannot control the source of the alien beast, so naturally it cannot prohibit the sale of crystals.
Of course, even if this is the case, privately buying and selling crystals is also a gray area.
But buying and selling supernatural rice in private is a crime, and it's fine if the government doesn't check it.
Otherwise, Qu Jianlei would not have only heard of crystallization, but never heard of supernatural rice.
After the receptionist finished explaining, Qu Jianlei nodded thoughtfully. This black market...is sure to stand up again!
If you don't engage in any illegal and criminal business, do you have the nerve to call it a black market?
So he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure, there is really no supernatural rice for sale? I don't want that kind of rubbish under the bridge."
"This..." The receptionist hesitated for a moment.
Ordinarily, with her status, she is not qualified to talk about this kind of topic. If she is not careful, she may attract the government's spies.
But according to her observation, the process of purchasing the crystallization by this big spender is very natural, and it doesn't seem like it was sent by someone with ulterior motives.
After a moment of hesitation, she still whispered, "If you must buy it, I can recommend a buyer for you."
"However, I want to declare in advance that it will be very expensive to buy in large quantities... at least double the price of those supernatural meters under the bridge."
Of course she knew what was going on with the rice under the bridge, but it was just that the stall owner paid the market fee, so she couldn't say anything.
But authentic power rice is really not cheap.
And the "buy a lot" she said is just buying in moderation, not too little.
It’s not worth the risk to buy too little, but it’s impossible to buy too much. No one has so many sources—even if they do, they dare not admit it.
After all, supernatural rice is a commodity with a price but no market. It is already a burst of character if you can buy it, so there is no need to care too much about the money.
Qu Jianlei wanted to ask the receptionist to help introduce him, but she said that he was not there and asked when he could come next time.
This question made him shake his head slightly, indicating that he couldn't determine the time either.
Although he had let himself go a little bit, it wasn't that he lost all vigilance.
He just spent 500,000 on the black market, and he didn't worry about someone penetrating him, but that didn't mean it was really safe here.
The main reason is that he made a sudden move today, and it was impossible for the stall owner not to do business when he saw the business, so the transaction was completed.
If he really dared to make an appointment for the next meeting, it would be hard to say what the other party could do.
Hundreds of thousands of silver bills may not be able to impress many masters, but there is no doubt that there are some masters who are in a mess.
Especially here is Lushui City. Although the resources are concentrated and lively, the cost of living is also very high.
It's normal to have some A-levels who don't mix well, right?
Qu Jianlei didn't intend to test human nature. After shaking his head, he took Sophia off the pier.
What was rare was that the child was still waiting downstairs, and didn't say hello when he saw the two of them, just stood and watched from a distance.
Qu Jianlei didn't want to talk to him at first, but when he thought of what the receptionist said, he couldn't help being upset again.
So he ignored the child, and left the black market with Sofia the same way.
Walking back to the brightly lit riverside park again, Qu Jianlei felt a little emotional, "This black market is a mixed bag, but it's too expensive."
"Do you think it's expensive?" Sophia couldn't help muttering, "Your expenses for one night are enough for me to buy a flat."
To be honest, she was really surprised by the panda's attack.
The two sisters have been working as business tour guides for some time, and it's not that they haven't seen rich people.
But it was the first time I saw someone who spent more than 50 yuan in one night without blinking an eye.
The key point is that the money is not used to buy fixed assets, not even daily necessities, but consumables.
"Don't be envious of others casually," Qu Jianlei coughed lightly, "Actually, I really yearn for the peaceful life you have."
"That's true." Sophia nodded, she knew very well in her heart, "Without you, I wouldn't even dare to come to the black market."
While talking, she looked back, what happened tonight was very exciting, and the next time she came to the black market, she didn't know when it would be.
But then, she was stunned, "That child... that child is still following us from afar."
Qu Jianlei had discovered it a long time ago, but he hadn't reacted - the child's physical strength was too weak, and he would only be thrown further and further away.
But since Sophia spoke, he just took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, "Then wait for him to come over."
He has no prejudice against children, he just thinks that the quantity is small, but only after he came into contact with the second floor did he realize that the price offered by children is very fair.
The price upstairs is [-] per catty, and the child is [-] per catty, which is really a conscience.
The key is that there are many problems on the second floor. Buying too much or too little is not allowed. The feeling of a seller's market is too unfriendly to buyers.
It is still a trivial matter that the quantity is restricted, and the key is to make an appointment, which has considerable hidden dangers.
Qu Jianlei is not necessarily afraid of things, but he has struggled for 20 years and finally settled down, and he really doesn't want to make trouble anymore.
In comparison, the problem with children is only that there are few goods, and there is no other problem.
Qu Jianlei wanted to change his mind just now, but he was in a bad mood, and it was not good for the child when he opened his mouth.
The two of them stopped walking, and the child following behind saw this, hesitated and slowed down.
But soon, he realized that no matter how slow he walked, the other party wouldn't.
So he simply regained his speed and walked over step by step, but his eyelids were drooping, not daring to look at a man and a woman opposite.
When Qu Jianlei saw this, he thought it was a bit amusing. It was you who stalked me, and you are the one who dare not raise his eyelids now!
Sophia was still winking at him: How about I communicate?
Many people think that business tour guides only care about money, but it is not true. At least Sophia is more sympathetic.
When the child was seven or eight meters away, Sophia waved to him, "Come here."
The child walked over cautiously, and said timidly, "I don't have supernatural rice on me."
Sophia was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "We bought it with money, and we won't steal from you... We just spent 500,000 on the second floor!"
Beauty is indeed easy for people to relax their vigilance, even if the other party is just a child.
The child breathed a sigh of relief, and then said timidly, "You hit the awl, I'm afraid you won't come again."
After all, he was young, so he took the initiative to tell the reason why he followed without waiting for the other party to ask questions.
Sophia asked a few more questions, knowing that the awl was the one that was thrown into the river, she curled her lips in disdain.
"How dare he take revenge? We have been in the market just now, and we haven't seen him calling for someone to come over."
It's not that she's inflated, but a gangster who runs rampant in a small market, can she be compared with an A-level fighter?
But the child said solemnly, "The gang of them are very ruthless, they have killed people... more than one!"
Sophia was a little surprised when she heard that, "Killed someone, how dare he stay in the black market?"
The child replied, "He didn't kill people in the market, anyway, everyone knows that he killed people."
There is also a saying in the empire that "killing people pays for their lives", but this civilization is more indifferent to life and has a higher tolerance for killing people.
So even if the people don't raise officials and don't investigate, and killing people doesn't necessarily mean paying for them, especially for supernatural fighters.
Although Sophia is a woman, she has an A-level boss by her side, so naturally she doesn't take little murderers seriously.
So she changed the subject on her own initiative, "Do you know that fat guy who sells medals?"
You... Hearing this, Qu Jianlei looked at her in surprise, and twitched the corner of her mouth helplessly.
Subjective initiative is too strong, it seems that it is not a good thing.
The child thought about it and shook his head, "That person is unfamiliar, and he doesn't come here often...I don't come here often either."
Sophia glanced at Qu Jianlei and found that he had no expression, so she said again, "Now take us to buy supernatural rice?"
The child also took a look at Qu Jianlei, and shook his head timidly, "I'll get it, you just wait."
Sophia waved her hand, "It's late at night, is it safe to hold a power meter? I'll take you there by car."
The child ran away, "I didn't keep the supernatural rice at home, I hid it."
Regardless of the fact that he was suffering from a serious illness just now, his running speed is not slow now, and he disappeared into the night not long after.
Qu Jianlei shook his head. This half-grown child also knows how to hide things around. Sure enough, life is the best teacher.
The child didn't run very far, just over a kilometer, and then entered a bush and dug out a package.
He felt that he was very cautious, but he didn't know that although Qu Jianlei stood still, he could sense his actions from a distance.
There were two identical small bags in the package. After a moment of hesitation, the child took out only one bag and buried the package again.
"Ah," Qu Jianlei shook his head, the little guy's every move reminded him of the years when he was struggling for his life in Hongzi District.
Not long after, the child came running out of breath, and raised the bag in his hand, "Super power... super power rice."
Qu Jianlei gave Sofia a card coin, which was exactly fifty silver dollars - the little guy was afraid of him, so let the beauty do it for him.
The child really does not reject the contact with Sophia, money and goods pay off.
After Qu Jianlei took the supernatural rice, he opened the bag and felt it. Sure enough, there was a gentle and faint energy fluctuation.
However, at the next moment, he found some doubts, so he frowned and looked at the child, "This rice... seems a bit wrong?"
It wasn't intentional to make things difficult, but he felt that the energy in the rice was a little bit drained.
This is the extraordinary feature of A-level. Although he has never seen the supernatural rice before, he still feels the abnormality in it.
The child's face turned pale in an instant, and despair appeared in his eyes, "You, you..."
