Player Black Market.

Old Ma's face was full of a friendly smile, "Seeing you all here, I knew my sales would be great these next few days. What good stuff do you have?"

"I'll go first!"

The fat man pulled out a level 3 blue hammer.

"Holy crap, the exclusive weapon for Hammer Specialization superweapons... Awesome, they even managed to get their hands on one..."

Old Ma glanced at the fat man. "Young man weighing two hundred pounds, I admit I misjudged you last time, I underestimated you."

The fat man said, "It would be better if this guy, whose forehead to chin is over two meters long, didn't keep talking about weighing two hundred pounds."

"Old Ma."

I crossed my arms and said, "Fatty's my brother. You give this hammer an estimate. If it's worth it, we'll sell it. We're all on the same side, so you can give us your estimate."

"OK!"

Old Ma nodded and finally gave the hammer a price of 160,000, which was actually not low, since melee weapons are not very valuable at this stage unless they explode.

The fat man was overjoyed to receive 180,000 yuan, feeling that he was not far from earning a million-yuan annual salary and marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman!

Afterwards, Ruolin sold her second-tier blue shield, which she originally intended for me to use, but unfortunately I didn't like it. At the moment, I don't really need a shield, and besides, I always go out with Ruolin, so if we encounter any danger, I can just hide in her arms.

Then, it was my turn to trade.

He took out the three guns and asked Old Ma to appraise them.

"Holy crap..."

Old Ma looked at the gun, then at me, and said, "Did you stir up trouble with SMC?"

"I didn't stab him."

"Alright."

Old Ma glanced at his phone and said, "Based on the current market price fluctuations, the market price of Tier 2 blue Submachine Gun is showing a downward trend, so I can only offer you 90,000 for each one, totaling 270,000. Ding Han, do you think this price is acceptable?"

"Is there anything that's unacceptable?"

I laughed heartily and said, "Deal! You, Old Ma, have to make a little profit. I can't possibly haggle over something like this!"

"Good brother, you're so insightful!"

Old Ma put away his three guns and said, "Do you want Star Coins, or do you want to buy something here?"

Let's buy something!

I did the math: I increased the stockpile of all three types of ammunition for the Explosive Gun to 5000 each (explosive, fragmentation, and molten metal), replenished the Submachine Gun ammo, and bought two Medical Box at 40,000 each. So I only have 10,000 Star Coins left for pocket money.

"Fatty, here's Medical Box for you."

He then gave the fat man a Medical Box.

"OK!"

The fat man didn't hold back either; in terms of ammunition reserves, he was far inferior to me.

Ruolin, Cai Cai, Kou Mei didn't say anything. Although we were all friends, I was obviously closer to Fatty. Besides, Fatty was the weakest of the five of us and the one who needed the most support.

Once the fat guy's level, skills, and equipment improve, the dual- Firepower Specialist lineup will make our team even stronger!

After all transactions are completed, players leave the Player Black Market.

But just as they were passing through the alley, several figures suddenly appeared ahead. They all had health bars displayed, and their game IDs and guild names swayed in the cold wind.

Among them, the person at the very front has a very high level and is well-known on the regional rankings in Huaining City!

[Shen Jin] (Starry Sky Super Weapon - Sword Specialization - Tier 3)

Level: 30

Guild: Ember Domain

Position: Alliance Leader

Regional Ranking: 1

They've finally come knocking on our door!

In the battle of Misty Coast, I killed Lei Yan, the Vice Alliance Leader of the Ash Domain Guild. This was a great disgrace to the ambitious Ash Domain Guild, and now, their people have finally shown themselves!

"Shadow Chaser."

Shen Jin tilted his head and looked at me, his eyes filled with a sinister light in the night. With a flick of his wrist, a longsword gleaming with purple light appeared in his hand. He sneered, "We've finally met!"

"Oh shit..."

Cai Cai gritted her teeth and said in the Team Channel, "Trouble has come knocking!"

"That's really troublesome."

I nodded. In Huaining City, Shen Jin has long dominated the top spot on the ranking list. It is said that his combat power is even slightly more terrifying than Gun Like a Dragon. In addition, the Ash Domain Guild has a large number of members, and it is said that the number of members has grown to over a thousand. This is a veritable behemoth!

However, I decided to try diplomacy first before resorting to force.

"Alliance Leader Shen Jin, there are some things I must make clear."

The next second, I also switched to Combat Form, revealing my health bar and a purple Ride the Wind Sword in my hand, which immediately made the expressions of the players from the Ember Domain behind Shen Jin tense up.

"During the battle on the Misty Coast, my companions and I were fighting a Tier 3 Aberrant Splitter when Lei Yan from your guild led a group in a sneak attack, nearly killing my friend. Afterwards, I shouted at him to stop within the Star Map, but he showed no sign of stopping and insisted on killing us all. That's why I was forced to kill Lei Yan. This wasn't just something my people did; several brothers from the Ash Domain Guild that Lei Yan was with at the time can also testify to it."

As I spoke, I smiled faintly, "Could it be that someone has been gossiping about you, causing some misunderstanding?"

There's no misunderstanding.

Shen Jin's gaze was icy. "There's only one thing: Lei Yan is my cousin. Even if he was in the wrong first, it's a fact that you killed him in the end. Do you think I can just ignore this?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward. "Shadow Chaser, let's have a one-on-one fight. The loser dies, the winner lives. What do you say?"

What if I don't agree?

"Then all of you will die."

"OK!"

I lightly swung my Ride the Wind Sword and smiled faintly, "Killing one more of you is no big deal!"

"How arrogant you are!"

Shen Jin sneered.

"Etc!"

Zhang Ruolin stepped forward and said, "Shen Jin, do you know the consequences of killing someone in the city? As soon as you kill Ding Han, your Reputation Level with the Crimson Dragon Country faction will immediately drop to 'Hate,' which is the same as killing a civilian of the Crimson Dragon Country. Do you want to be hunted down by the entire Crimson Dragon Country faction?"

"So what?"

Shen Jin sneered, "So Lei Yan died for nothing?"

"He tried to kill someone but got killed instead; serves him right!"

Cai Cai said, "Shen Jin, you're supposed to be the leader of a major alliance, if you can't handle it, then don't play! With your level of understanding, you think you can lead the Ash Domain Guild to the top of Star Abyss? You can't even get to the top of a doghouse!"

"You want to die too?" Shen Jin turned his gaze to Cai Cai.

At that moment, hurried footsteps approached, followed by the figures of several players. They were members of the Crimson Firmament Alliance. Gun Like a Dragon led the way, followed by Xu Tian and the others.

"Ding Han, don't do it!"

Gun Like a Dragon frowned, pressed down on my sword-wielding hand, and turned to look at Shen Jin: "Shen Jin, don't be impulsive. I've heard about Lei Yan's matter. It's a matter of reaping what you sow. Under these circumstances, it's a bit much for you to cause trouble for Ding Han."

"This matter has nothing to do with your Crimson Firmament Alliance. Gun Like a Dragon, get out of the way!"

"Is it truly unrelated to the Crimson Firmament Alliance, and also unrelated to the administrators?"

Gun Like a Dragon, his expression cold. "If you dare to make a move, I will immediately inform the management. You'd better think carefully!"

"You fucking..."

Shen Jin hesitated; the "manager" seemed to make him quite wary.

"Walk!"

The next moment, Shen Jin and his men turned and left.

"Okay, it's alright now."

Gun Like a Dragon, looking equally distressed, turned to me and said, "You've seen it too, things aren't peaceful in the city. Too many people are breaking the rules. Damn it, there's just no way to deal with it..."

"Alliance Leader Long, I owe you a lot this time, otherwise I would most likely be wanted by the Crimson Dragon Country Kingdom."

"Oh?"

The Gun Like a Dragon, couldn't help but chuckle, "You're so confident you can kill Shen Jin?"

"Yes, most likely."

"Ding Han."

Xu Tian patted my shoulder. "Let's take the brothers and leave. We can't stay here any longer. Who knows if the people from the Ash Domain have any other dirty tricks up their sleeves?"

"Okay, I'm leaving!"

They went outside and each took a taxi to leave.

After some commotion, I finally got back to my neighborhood.

It was one in the morning, and the living room was dark; Lin Qingying was already asleep.

I tried to keep my voice down, washed up, and went back to my room. After getting into bed, I checked and saw that the message I sent to Lu Xiaobei still had a red exclamation mark. I felt a little helpless.

At that very moment, it was discovered that Cheng Shuang had posted a message on her Moments, which was quite unusual.

On her Moments, there were photos of Cat Cafe, holding a maple leaf in her hand, trying to use it to obscure the outside world and make it appear incomplete.

The accompanying text read, "If only time could turn back."

This kind of Moments has a very artistic feel to it.

I casually gave it a like, then snuggled into my blanket and drifted off to sleep.

The next day, early morning.

When I got up, I found that Lin Qingying had already left. There was a breakfast and a note on the table, saying that she had bought breakfast for me and had gone to work early.

After washing up and having breakfast, I went straight to the company.

Luo Mei's shift was still as dull and boring as ever. From the start of the shift to the end, she was either busy repairing appliances that customers had brought back, or she was chatting with Fatty and Haozi. She even went out twice to repair air conditioners that customers had bought.

After work, Fatty was taken away by Shen Yue, while I went home by myself.

In the neighborhood, the chubby kid was skateboarding with a group of friends. As soon as he saw me come back, he ran over and shouted, "Ding Han, Ding Han, will you teach me how to create wave effects again today?"

"Begin the lesson!"

"Okay!"

So I pulled out a bunch of coins, and the two of us started playing again.

They played until dark, and Li Xiang was taken away by Grandpa Li, but Lin Qingying still hadn't returned.

She still hadn't returned by 10 p. m.

I was a little worried, so I sent a WeChat: "Why are you getting off work so late today?"

A full half hour passed.

She sent me a picture of a plane that had just landed. "I'm on a business trip to BH City for a week, and I'll be back in a week."

"Good."

I suddenly felt empty inside, so I decided to go downstairs for a late-night snack.

Downstairs, at the mutton hot pot restaurant, I ordered a double portion of mutton. Lately, I've been accumulating more and more "ammunition" (food), which makes me feel quite well-off, so there's no need to be stingy when it comes to food and drink.

Just then, the phone rang again. Lin Qingying sent another message: "Let's go skateboarding when I get back. I want to learn the crossover step on the board."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
