I have a city in another world

Chapter 4159 The Underground Black Market
Accompanied by a huge roar, a train came from a distance.

When the train stopped, the passengers who had traveled a long distance poured out of the platform like flowing water.

The staff on the platform kept moving their eyes, looking for suspicious objects in the crowd.

In the last carriage, Tang Zhen walked down slowly, followed by Hans in a coat.

Mixed into the crowd, and soon left the station.

The temperature dropped sharply last night, and snowflakes fell from the sky, and pedestrians on the road quickened their pace.

This is Frost City, located in the northernmost part of the empire, with four distinct seasons.

Tang Zhen came here because in this border city, the strength of the official organization is very weak.

Practitioners from many countries gathered in Frost City, calling it the capital of freedom.

If Tang Zhen wants to improve his strength and find useful clues, Frost City is the best choice.

After arriving in Frost City, you only need to search carefully to find quite a few clues.

For example, in some corners, there are imprints that can only be seen by monks, and in some taverns and gambling halls, there are special contacts.

As long as you follow the other party's guidance, you can go to the area that belongs to the practitioner's activities.

Tang Zhen found a middle-aged man, revealed his identity, and gave him another reward.

The middle-aged man led Tang Zhen to an old house in the city, which seemed to have a history of hundreds of years.

After entering, only to find that there is a hole in the sky here.

It turns out that under the house, there are ancient underground caves connected. The interior is criss-crossed, and even the border defense line can be easily crossed.

The cave is not only spacious enough, but also has hot springs and ground fires, with various luminescent plants growing.

There are meeting places in the underground, tavern shops that operate, and places where information is sold.

According to official statistics, the total number of practitioners and ordinary people living underground is probably more than 20.

Practitioners of all kinds shuttle back and forth here, mixing with ordinary people, and it can be called the busiest place in Frost City.

Due to the large number of practitioners and their strength, the officials had to turn a blind eye and acquiesce in the existence of this place.

When Tang Zhen came to the underground city, he didn't attract many people's attention. There are many foreign practitioners like him who come in and out every day.

The purpose of Tang Zhen's trip is to obtain more advanced materials and raise his strength to the king level.

Only after reaching the king level can one barely cast perception spells and deduce the approximate location of the detection fragments of the god body.

Calculating the gods with a mortal body is in itself an act against the heavens, and it will inevitably suffer a fatal backlash.

In order to fight against the backlash, Tang Zhen also had to make preparations. First, he had to refine a batch of substitute talismans.

As long as there are enough talismans, Tang Zhen's skills can be used indefinitely, without worrying about any backlash.

In addition, in his hands, there are taboo items from ancient tombs, and he must find a way to sell them for money.

After inquiring about the trading rules, it turns out that it can be sent to a street auction house, and can be auctioned publicly at any time.

Tang Zhen found the person in charge, showed his items to the other party, and then qualified for the auction.

[-]% of the proceeds from the auction are used as handling fees, and [-]% belong to the holders.

This price is quite reasonable. If there is no such auction channel, not only will the sales be very difficult, but the sales price may also be greatly reduced.

It didn't take long before it was Tang Zhen's turn to play.

Hearing the auctioneer's introduction, the cultivators on the street, as well as the merchants acting as Erdao dealers, all showed expressions of interest.

Taboo items are in other places, which are strictly controlled and contained, but they will appear from time to time in Frost City.

Stolen goods that are difficult to sell in other places will also be sent to this underground black market, and a suitable buyer will always be found.

The items in Tang Zhen's hands contained extremely high energy values, which attracted the interest of many practitioners.

They look at the description of the item, compare the price and performance, and bid when it feels right.

All the fifteen items submitted for auction were successfully auctioned, and a lot of banknotes were exchanged.

After getting the money, it didn't stay for long, and then it was replaced with a pile of materials.

After finding a remote cave and asking Hans to guard the gate, Tang Zhen began to retreat and refine talismans.

In the next period of time, one after another spiritual talismans were refined, which could help Tang Zhen resist the backlash of divine power and effectively kill the enemy in battle.

The accumulation of profound knowledge allows Tang Zhen to do these things with ease. As long as he is given a little time to overcome the predicament in the early stage, there will be the possibility of miracles in the future.

After spending several days, Tang Zhen finished refining the talisman and consumed all the materials in his hand.

The next thing to do is to arm Hans the Ghoul to make him more powerful.

As Tang Zhen's personal servant, Hans the Ghoul will serve as the main force in the battle until he is promoted to the king rank.

Since he undertakes an important task, he must be well armed. If Hans can defeat the enemy utterly, the beneficiary will naturally be Tang Zhen.

In Tang Zhen's eyes, Hans is a combat platform that can be freely modified.

If it weren't for the limited conditions, it would really be possible to arm Hans the Ghoul to his teeth.

If necessary, Tang Zhen will create a few more ghouls, so that he can have stronger fighting power.

Coming out of the place of retreat, Tang Zhen reappeared in the underground black market and bought a large amount of materials.

Then go to the blacksmith shop, rent various tools, and start designing and manufacturing the required equipment.

The steam engine in this world has been widely used, and there are various machines in the underground caves.

Work such as stamping and forging can also be done easily, but the production capacity is pitifully low.

Tang Zhen is not picky. With the help of these tools, his operation speed can be doubled.

It only took a few days for Tang Zhen to forge a pair of battle armor for Hans the Ghoul, turning it into a real iron can.

It's not ordinary metal plate armor, but metal equipment engraved with special runes, which has a very powerful boosting ability.

In addition to improving defense capabilities, it is also equipped with large-caliber muskets, high-speed chainsaws, and extremely sharp claw knives.

At the same time, inside the armor, there is also a special medicine box, which contains potions that can make ghouls go berserk.

After some transformation, Hans the Ghoul's combat power has been crazily improved, and he has become a qualified meat shield and combat power output.

After completing the ghoul transformation, Tang Zhen came to the market again. While collecting information, he was also looking for some high-return employment tasks.

The fully armed Hans made it very easy to accept the task. As long as the employer is not blind, he can see that this ghoul is powerful.

Compared with Hans, the other ghoul monks are not at the same level at all.

Tang Zhen soon received a mission to go to the border with a group of practitioners to explore an ancient secret ruins.

The mission rewards are generous, the employer only needs his own items, and the items harvested by the participants all belong to the individual.

After accepting the task, the employer sent a carriage to transport Tang Zhen and other monks.

It took five full days to finally arrive at the destination, a valley shrouded in snow all year round.

Under the guidance of their employer, everyone entered a cave, and were soon attacked by various monsters.

While cleaning up the monsters, everyone walked along the cave, and encountered fatal danger several times during the period.

At every critical moment, Tang Zhen stepped forward, not only resolving the crisis, but also saving the lives of several monks.

Superb methods, profound knowledge, and a powerful servant like Hans.

In just a short time, Tang Zhen was convinced by all the monks and became the leader of the team.

In the following time, Tang Zhen commanded the monks to arrive at the core of the cave without any danger.

There is a temple here, where the items needed by the employer are placed, and there are also many taboo items scattered around.

The task was successfully completed, and all the monks returned with full rewards, and Tang Zhen's reputation gradually spread.
