The question Qu Jianlei asked is really ignorant. Ability Rice is indeed different from crystallization.

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 will not provide any benefits to the top officials of the government.

But crystals are different. As long as you can hunt strange beasts, you can get crystals.

Most of the crystals were purchased by the government, but if someone gets the crystals and is willing to handle it themselves, it is not a big deal.

After all, if the government cannot control the source of the alien beasts, it naturally cannot ban the sale of crystals.

Of course, even if this is the case, the crystallization of private transactions belongs to Gray Area.

But buying and selling Ability Rice privately is a crime. If the government does not investigate, it will be fine. Once it is investigated, it will be accurate.

Otherwise, Qu Jianlei would not have only heard of crystallization, but not Ability Rice.

After the receptionist finished explaining, Qu Jianlei nodded Diandian thoughtfully, this Black Market... is really both impressive and upright!

How dare you call yourself Black Market if you don't engage in any illegal or criminal business?

So he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure there really is no Ability Rice for sale? I don't want the kind of junk under the bridge."

"This..." The receptionist hesitated for a rare moment.

Ordinarily, given her status, she is not qualified to talk about this kind of topic. If she is not careful, she may attract government spies.

But according to her observation, the process of purchasing crystals for this Big Hand pen was very natural and did not look like it was sent by someone with ulterior motives.

After hesitating for a moment, she still whispered, "If you must buy it, I can recommend a cargo owner to you."

"But I want to state in advance that if you want to buy in large quantities, it will be very expensive... at least double the price of those Ability Rice under the bridge."

Of course she knew what was going on with the rice under the bridge, but the stall owner paid the market fee, so she couldn't say anything.

But the authentic Ability Rice is really not cheap.

And when she said "buy in bulk", she just meant 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 that much supply - even if they do, they wouldn't dare to admit it.

After all, Ability Rice is a material with a price but no market. Being able to buy it is already a sign of your character. There is no need to care too much about how much money you have.

Qu Jianlei wanted to ask the receptionist to introduce him, but she said he was not there and asked when he could come next time.

This question made him shake his head slightly, indicating that he was not sure of the time either.

Although he has let himself go a little bit, he has not lost his vigilance at all.

He just spent half a million in Black Market, and he didn't worry about anyone trying to trick him, but that didn't mean it was really safe here.

Mainly because he made a sudden move today, and the stall owner couldn't stop doing business when he saw it, so he completed the transaction.

If he really dares to agree on a time to meet next time, it's really hard to say what the other party will do.

Hundreds of thousands of banknotes may not impress many masters, but there is no doubt that some masters are miserable.

Especially here is Greenwater City. Although the resources are concentrated and bustling, the cost of living is also very high.

There are some Rank A who don't mix well. Is that normal? Qu Jianlei did not intend to test human nature. After shaking his head, he took Sophia off the bridge pier.

What's rare is that the child is still waiting downstairs. He doesn't say hello when he sees them, just stands and watches from a distance.

Qu Jianlei originally didn't want to talk to him, but when he thought about what the receptionist said, he couldn't help but feel upset again.

So he ignored the child and left Black Market with Sophia.

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."

"You think it's expensive?" Sophia couldn't help but mutter, "What you spend in one night is enough for me to buy a house."

To be honest, she was really shocked by Panda's move.

The two sisters have been working as business tour guides for some time, and it's not like they have never seen rich people.

But spending more than half a million in one night without blinking an eye, this is really the first time I saw it.

The key point is that this money is not used to buy fixed assets, not even daily necessities, just consumables.

"Don't envy others casually," Qu Jianlei coughed lightly, "Actually, I long for the peaceful life you have."

"That's true," Sophia Diandian nodded, knowing very well in her heart, "Without you, I wouldn't even Black Market dare to come."

As she spoke, she looked back. What she had experienced tonight was quite exciting. She didn't know when the next time she would come to Black Market would be.

But then, she was stunned, "That child... that child is still following us from a distance."

Qu Jianlei has noticed it a long time ago, but has never reacted - the child's physical strength is too weak, and he will only be thrown further and further away.

But since it was Sophia who spoke, he just borrowed Po Xia Donkey, "Then wait for him to come over."

He had no prejudice against children, he simply thought the quantity was small, but after contacting the second floor, he realized that the price for children was very fair.

The price quoted upstairs is 80 per pound, and the child is priced at 60 per pound, which is really conscientious.

The key is that there are many problems on the second floor. You are not allowed to buy too much or too little. The seller's market is too unfriendly to buyers.

The quantity restriction is still a trivial matter, the key is to make an appointment, and there are considerable hidden dangers.

Qu Jianlei is not necessarily afraid of trouble, but he has struggled for twenty years and finally settled down, and he really doesn't want to struggle anymore.

Comparatively speaking, the problem for children is only the lack of goods and no other problems.

Qu Jianlei I wanted to change my mind just now, but I was in a bad mood, and speaking at that time would not be good for the child.

The two of them stopped while walking. The child who was following them hesitated and slowed down when they saw this.

But soon, he realized: no matter how slow he walked, the other party wouldn't walk.

So he simply resumed his speed and walked over step by step, but his eyelids were drooped, not daring to look at the man and woman opposite.

Qu Jianlei felt it was a bit funny when he saw this. It was you who was stalking me, and it's you who dare not even raise your eyes now! Sophia was still winking at him: How about I communicate? Many people think that business tour guides only care about money, but this is not the case. 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 Ability Rice with me."

Sophia was startled for a moment, then laughed, "We spent money to buy it, we won't take it from you... We just spent half a million on the second floor!"

Beautiful women do tend to make people relax their vigilance, even if the other person is just a child.

The child was visibly relieved, and then timidly said, "You guys hit Awl. I'm afraid you'll never come back again."

After all, he was young and 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 Awl was the one who was thrown into the river, he curled his lips in disdain.

"How dare he take revenge? We were in the market just now and we didn't see him calling anyone over."

It's not that she's bloated, but she's a bully who runs rampant in a small market. Can she compare to Rank A Warrior?

The child said seriously, "Their gang is very cruel, they have killed people... more than one!"

Sophia was a little surprised when he heard this, "After killing someone, he still dares to stay here Black Market?"

The child replied, "He didn't kill him in the market. Everyone knows that he has killed people."

The empire also has a saying of "killing people to pay for their lives", but this civilization looks down on life and has a higher tolerance for killing.

Therefore, even if the people do not call officials, they will not be punished, and killing people does not necessarily require death, especially for Ability Warrior.

Although Sophia is a woman, with the boss Rank A around, naturally she will not take the little murderer seriously.

So she took it upon herself to change the topic, "Do you know that fat man selling medals?"

You...Qu Jianlei heard this, looked at her in surprise, and twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly.

Being too subjective does not seem to be 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 he spoke again, "Take us to buy Ability Rice now?"

The child also glanced at Qu Jianlei, shook his head in fear, "I'll get it, you just wait."

Sophia waved his hand, "Is it safe to hold Ability Rice this late at night? I'll drive you there."

The child ran away, "Ability Rice I didn't put it at home, I hid it."

Although he was very sick just now, he was running very fast now and disappeared into the night in Buduo.

Qu Jianlei shook his head. This half-year-old child also knows how to hide things everywhere. As expected, life is the best teacher.

The child did not run very far, just over a kilometer, before entering a bush and digging out a package.

He felt that he was very cautious, but he didn't know that although Qu Jianlei stood still and didn't move, he could sense his actions from a distance.

There were two identical small bags in the package. The child hesitated, then took out only one bag and buried the package again.

"Alas," Qu Jianlei shook his head. Every move of the little guy reminded him of Suiyue who was fighting for his life in Hong-character Settlement Area.

At Buduo, the child ran over panting, raised the bag in his hand, "Superpower...Ability Rice."

Qu Jianlei gave Sophia a Card Coin, which is exactly the face value of fifty Silver Coin - the little guy is afraid of him, so let the beauty do it for him.

The child does not object to contact with Sophia, and both money and goods are guaranteed.

After Qu Jianlei took Ability Rice, he opened the bag and felt it. Sure enough, there were gentle and faint energy fluctuations.

However, the next moment, he found something doubtful, so he frowned and looked at the child, "This rice... seems a little wrong, right?"

It wasn't that he meant to make things difficult, but he felt that the energy in the rice was somewhat lost.

This is the extraordinary thing about Rank A. Although he had never seen Ability Rice before, he still felt something unusual about it.

The child's face turned pale in an instant, and there was a look of despair in his eyes, "You, you..."
