Qu Jianlei was a little curious just now. He drove a truck to Black Market. What could he sell?

When he took a closer look, he frowned. There were lumps of meat on the truck, which were frozen hard.

Sitting in the manger was a half-grown boy, with his legs hanging out of the car.

He probably didn't see Qu Jianlei's move just now. He looked unreasonable and said, "You can see for yourself."

Qu Jianlei was a little annoyed, but there was no need to get angry with the other party over such a trivial matter, so he turned around and left.

But he didn't go far. He turned to the next house and looked down at the strange objects on the ground.

Then he walked down one house and heard someone from the meat truck asking, "Meat of alien animals?"

"Of course," the young man replied lazily, "Would you come here to buy ordinary meat?"

The little guy's words are annoying, but the person who wants to buy something is very civilized, "How do you sell it?"

When Sophia heard this, he pushed Qu Jianlei gently and whispered, "It's the meat of a strange beast."

She knew that Ability Warrior took the meat of alien animals, which was good for improving his cultivation.

"It's still human flesh," Qu Jianlei snorted indifferently.

Then he spoke half-jokingly and half-seriously, "But human flesh is just right for you Fallen to eat."

His answering voice was not too quiet, and the half-grown boy also heard it, but he only glanced at him coldly and did not have any attack.

It seems that the difference between Black Market and Blue Star is Buduo. As long as you don't expose it in front of the owner of the goods, there won't be a big problem.

But if the little guy is really determined to come and find trouble, Qu Jianlei doesn't mind telling the other party what "strength is king" means.

He had already mentally sensed the lump of frozen meat. It was just ordinary raw meat, so it was a bit strange.

If there is any difference, it is that the ice water seems to contain some negligible energy.

But those energies... are really too little and can be ignored.

Garbage Star's C-level Mutated Beast pee will contain more energy.

Since he was selling fake goods and had an air of "do you want to buy it or not", Qu Jianlei didn't fall out on the spot, so he was already well-mannered.

Sophia was not stupid. He waited until he was far away before asking in a low voice, "Is it a fake?"

Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly and said, "If you plan to lie to me in this regard, that's just overthinking."

Then they encountered another light truck with "Mutated Beast Meat" still on it.

The energy contained in this piece of meat is slightly more, Buduo... equivalent to C-level Mutated Beast of peeing.

The third light truck contained heavy weapons, and the fourth light truck contained bags of grain.

The seller at this store was a middle-aged woman, but she was very enthusiastic, "Would you like Ability Rice? Eating it can increase your cultivation."

"Ability Rice," Qu Jianlei heard this statement for the first time. Could it be Spirit Rice in the legend of Blue Star? He really didn't know that there was such a thing in the empire. Not to mention that he had never heard of it before, there were no samples in the cheap store yesterday.

He released his energy and felt it for a moment, and then he was stunned... there was really some energy in the bag.

This energy is much stronger than "Mutated Beast Meat", but unfortunately, it is relatively sparsely distributed inside the bag.

To put it simply, Ability Rice exists... if there is really rice in the bag.

But it's definitely not all Ability Rice, it's mixed with ordinary rice... wrong, it should be ordinary rice with some Ability Rice mixed in.

But this kind of thing is really nothing unusual. Does Security Council Rice of Shenzhou also operate in this way? Since the other party was enthusiastic, Qu Jianlei asked calmly, "How to sell it?"

"One bag of one hundred Silver Coin," the woman lowered her voice and spoke, "Absolute Military Special Supply, not available on the market!"

Military Special Supply...Qu Jianlei somewhat understands why I haven't heard of it.

But the packaging of this bag of rice is not big, it only weighs two to three kilograms.

To make a compromise, even if it is two and a half kilograms, then one kilogram of supernatural rice is forty silver dollars, and fifty kilograms is two thousand silver dollars.

Greenwater City Houses in downtown areas cost only 2,000 Silver Coin per square meter.

But for Ability Warrior, if you eat it with an open belly, fifty pounds of Ability Rice is enough for two or three days.

Taking into account the problem of absorption, if we calculate it based on ten days' food intake, we will eat one square meter of house in ten days.

This price is definitely not low. A hundred pounds of Spirit Rice is as good as an affordable Rank B Crystal.

But one hundred pounds of Spirit Rice, might it be as effective as Rank B Crystal's cultivation? Qu Jianlei definitely doesn't think so.

Considering that the other party was still selling A-grade goods, he thought it was okay not to buy it, so he shook his head and walked away.

"You..." The woman's eyes widened and she was about to get angry. She even asked about the price. How dare you leave like this?

Black Market In theory, forced buying and selling are prohibited, but after asking the price, leaving without even paying back the price is wrong!

Of course, the counteroffer has to be outrageous, and there is also a suspicion of finding trouble. Anyway, women are very familiar with the various operations involved.

However, at this moment, someone next to her reached out and covered her mouth, and then spoke in a low voice, extremely fast.

"Don't make trouble, this guy is not easy to mess with. Awl was thrown into the river by him and has just been fished out now."

The woman was still struggling angrily, but immediately stopped moving after hearing this.

In the market, she is in the "upright business", while Awl is in the side business. Her status is higher than that of Awl, and her background is stronger.

However, Awl is also well-known in the market for his bravery and fierceness.

Although she is not afraid of Awl, she is not someone she can offend if she dares to throw Awl into the river.

It's not necessarily true that I can't afford to offend him, but there is no doubt that it's not worth it for such a trivial matter.

Seeing that she stopped struggling, the hand let go and whispered, "Don't mess around."

The woman shook her head to show that she was not messing around, and then asked curiously, "Awl doesn't plan to retaliate?"

"He bullies the weak and fears the strong," the man snorted disdainfully, "I hope he dares to continue to stir up trouble."

The people who set up stalls in the market are a bit unfavorable to gangs like Awl - they will really drive customers away.

However, the managers of Black Market did not come forward to deal with it, and the merchants were too lazy to take it seriously. It's not that they can't afford to offend, but they just can't afford it.

Now that Awl is defeated, everyone is happy to see him hit another snag.

The woman asked in a low voice, "Is that Yellow Twin Stars really that strong?"

The other party replied, "Absolutely a stranger, he dares to attack as soon as he comes. I'm not sure how strong he is, but there must be someone behind him!"

Qu Jianlei visited three or four more stalls, turned to one side, looked at a thin figure, and said with a cold face, "Are you okay?"

The thin figure trembled visibly before stepping forward.

This is a boy, less than 1.4 meters tall, but with an old face, he looks about 17 or 18 years old.

He hesitated and replied in a low voice, "Sir, do you want to buy Ability Rice? I have some, but it is more expensive."

Qu Jianlei knew that this guy had set his sights on him when he asked Ability Rice. He must have planned it in advance.

He didn't intend to pay attention to it at first, but following him all the way here was a bit too much.

But now he heard that the other party wanted to promote Ability Rice, so this behavior was understandable.

He nodded slightly, "I really want to buy some Ability Rice. How expensive would you say it is?"

"It's half more expensive than the one just now," the child said in a lowered voice, "The Ability Rice over there is... adulterated."

Qu Jianlei shook his head and said simply, "What you said is wrong. She did not adulterate it, but it was a little truthful."

When the child saw him shaking his head, his face turned pale at first. When he understood, he grinned and laughed silently.

Then he nodded, "You are right, she does have some truth in it."

Qu Jianlei actually doesn't mind buying some Ability Rice, even if the price of this thing sounds a bit ridiculously expensive.

First of all, he wanted to study what it was, and secondly, he wanted to try out the effect.

He can be sure that the effect of this thing should not be as good as using crystal cultivation, but mosquitoes are also meat, right? Even though he has not achieved financial freedom now, he still has a certain amount of living money and no other financial burdens.

Ability Rice Whether he is noble or low, it means little to him. If he wants to improve himself as soon as possible, he cannot give up any possible opportunity.

He didn't purchase Ability Rice just now. It wasn't because he couldn't afford it, but he just didn't want to be regarded as a fool.

So his attitude was very clear, "How much do you have? If it's too little, I'm not interested."

The child hesitated for a moment before answering hesitantly, "I only have... less than Buduo fifty Silver Coin."

Qu Jianlei shook his head when he heard this, "It's such a small amount, then forget it."

According to the price quoted by this child, the price of one pound of Ability Rice should be sixty Silver Coin, and fifty Silver Coin is not even a pound!

It's not that Qu Jianlei is hard-hearted, he really has a strong curiosity about Ability Rice, but this amount is not worth the trouble.

Moreover, this child appeared... rather unexpectedly. Although there was no problem in the logical chain, there was no guarantee that it was not a trap.

If he agrees to buy it and the other party causes other troubles, it will be very disappointing.

Isn't this the case with tea talk girls? First he hooks people up, and then he starts complaining in various ways.

My father is sick, my mother is marrying my younger brother to study, my blind grandma still feeds pigs, and my eighty-year-old grandpa grows tea trees. Can I buy a pound of tea?

Seeing his refusal, the child's eyes showed obvious disappointment, "Is it too little?"

Qu Jianlei frowned and waved his hand lightly, "I have made it very clear."

He didn't bother to think about whether this child really had some troubles.

It doesn't matter what you are, what matters is what I want.

He ignored the child, but the child didn't know what he was thinking, and remained silent, falling far behind them.

After walking for a while, even Sophia felt a little soft-hearted, "The kid is quite pitiful, how about giving him some money to send him away?"

"You can give it yourself if you want," Qu Jianlei replied casually, then squatted down, "The things here are interesting."
