Black Market! Please Bookmark, Boss!

But when he heard that Chen Feng was going to buy medicine, Bearded Uncle smiled and said,

"Xiaofeng, with your strength, there's no need for you to buy medicine from those legitimate stores. A hundred kilometers outside Jiangzhou District, there's a place called Black Waste City! It's a black market!"

"Black Waste City? I've heard of it online, but I've never been there. Uncle, do you know much about that place?"

Chen Feng asked.

Bearded Uncle smiled and said,

"Yeah, I went there once with my team. Since we were a group, we didn't run into any trouble.

"If you want to go, we can accompany you. Bring a few more people along. That place has all kinds of medicine and nutritional supplements, as well as plenty of banned drugs that legitimate stores don't carry.

"And the prices there are generally cheaper than at legitimate stores.

"If you're only buying a small amount of medicine, there's no need to go there. But if you're buying a large amount of Nutrient Fluid, I'd suggest Black Waste City. You can get some major discounts. If you buy a million worth of medicine, you can save at least a hundred thousand.

"Still, ordinary people don't dare go there. It's dangerous, and people die easily. There are plenty of criminal forces there. But with your strength, I believe ordinary people are definitely no match for you. As long as you're careful, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

"But whether you decide to go is up to you."

Bearded Uncle knew far more than Chen Feng. After all, they had been making their way through society for many years.

Chen Feng nodded and said,

"I'll go take a look. I really do need to buy Nutrient Fluid in bulk, but I won't trouble you, Uncle. I'll go alone. As long as I'm careful, it'll be fine."

Bearded Uncle said, "You're stronger than our entire team put together, so there shouldn't be any problem if you go. But if you run into trouble, send us a message. I'll immediately gather the team and come find you."

"Okay!"

Chen Feng smiled. He had originally planned to buy medicine from a legitimate place, but after hearing about this place from Uncle, he was genuinely curious.

"Uncle, Xiaotao, see you next time!"

Chen Feng said with a smile, waving goodbye.

Only after watching Chen Feng leave did Zhu Tao depart with Bearded Uncle.

"Brother, was it really a good idea to suggest Black Waste City to him? There are so many thugs there. What if..."

Zhu Tao sat in the car, somewhat worried about Chen Feng's safety.

Bearded Uncle smiled. "Xiaotao, it's dangerous for other people, of course. Most people don't even dare go alone; they need to travel in groups. But Xiaofeng is highly skilled. If those thugs run into him, they'll be the ones crying for mercy. Xiaofeng will be fine. Don't worry!

"How many people have you seen who could kill a Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull?

"Hehe, enough of that. Let's go.

"We made a lot of money this time, so we can rest for a while. I'll take you to buy some clothes and nutritional supplements, then help you improve your strength."

"Mm, okay!"

Zhu Tao nodded, feeling that her brother made sense. This young man really was strong!...

Chen Feng hailed a taxi and headed somewhere far away.

Black Waste City!

This was a rather dangerous city. The area around it was barren, and a strange smell lingered in the air.

Many buildings throughout the city had collapsed, with lime and bricks scattered everywhere. The towering buildings presented a scene of complete ruin.

There were also enormous craters here, some created by weapons of human civilization, while others were left behind during battles against powerful demonic beasts.

After Chen Feng got out of the car, he could even see a gigantic demonic beast claw mark. It had sliced an entire building apart and left a huge imprint in the ground, like the claw mark of a dragon or the imprint of a bird of prey descending from the sky.

Chen Feng looked it up on his phone.

Back when humans had fought demonic beasts here, they had used a highly lethal poison gas to drive back large swarms of attacking demonic beasts. Though they had ultimately won, the area had been left with lingering traces of toxic gas as an aftermath.

As a result, the ruined buildings and ground here had all taken on a black color.

It was as though this place had no color at all.

There really was a faint poisonous gas lingering in the air. The human government had been unwilling to establish offices in such a place and had abandoned it.

It was unsuitable for human habitation.

Yet many people still did business here. Since this was an abandoned human city, there were no government offices and no military presence. In other words, the law was weak here. Some people chose to do business here and did not even have to pay taxes.

The advantage was that there were many good things here, and some people made a great deal of money doing business on the black market.

The disadvantage was that it was very dangerous. One wrong move, and someone could be killed.

Even walking down the street here was an adventure. If a woman were here, let alone at night, even walking along these ruined streets in broad daylight could result in her being dragged away by several men who suddenly rushed out. What happened afterward was obvious enough.

Such incidents were not uncommon.

But this was Heaven for adventurers. Black Waste City had many banned drugs, as well as all sorts of potent fluids that enhanced physical constitution.

In the past, Chen Feng would never have dared enter this place. Now that his strength had increased, he was no longer afraid to travel here alone.

And as a martial artist, if he never experienced any danger and stayed at home and school all the time, he would only become a flower raised in a greenhouse.

Still, the crime rate here was extremely high, and danger could strike at any time.

After getting out of the car, Chen Feng looked at the desolate, ruined city around him, seemingly devoid of all color. The wind blew past, bringing a bleak and miserable feeling. Yet he could keenly sense that there were people inside the surrounding buildings.

It was not as quiet as it appeared on the surface.

There were even many beggars sleeping here at night.

Chen Feng walked alone through the ruins.

Besides his curiosity, he had come here for the discounts.

After all, he intended to buy at least a million worth of medicinal materials. Saving a hundred thousand was no small sum.

Hm? Someone?

Suddenly, as Chen Feng walked along, his brows furrowed. He sensed someone following behind him.

A man quickly thrust a dagger at him, intending to hold it at Chen Feng's throat and threaten him.

He was a burly man with blue tattoos on his arms, dressed in a thin black T-shirt. His eyes were vicious.

Before the dagger could reach him, Chen Feng swung his hand back in a slap. With a loud smack, the man's face went numb as Chen Feng suddenly turned around, sending him flying into the wall beside him.

"A robber?"

Chen Feng stared at the man.

What? The man's expression changed from a sinister grin to fear. He was indeed here to rob him. He had threatened and robbed countless people here before. They had all just arrived and were unfamiliar with the place, making them easy prey.

He had gotten away with it time and again.

Earlier, he had been hiding in a nearby corridor when he saw Chen Feng walking alone. A cold smile had appeared on his lips. A clueless kid actually dared come here alone? What an idiot. Wasn't he afraid of losing his life?

That was what he had thought, and that was what he had done. Yet before his knife could even get close to Chen Feng's neck, his vision blurred, and a force slammed his entire body into the wall.

He was terrified.

This guy was incredibly strong. Was he really a teenager?

"Brat, hand over all the money on you, or transfer all your savings to me! Otherwise, I'll cripple you today!"

Although the man had been struck by Chen Feng and was initially shocked, he was not afraid afterward. He was not alone here. His brothers were all waiting in the ruined corridor nearby.

Heh, did Chen Feng really think a robber like him would be stupid enough to act recklessly alone?

He had a gang.

"Cripple me? That depends on whether you have what it takes!"

Chen Feng was not frightened away. He merely stared at the bloodied man.

"You should be a student, right? But if you dare provoke us, you must be tired of living! Hand over the money and get lost if you know what's good for you!"

A voice came from the distance.

Several sets of footsteps sounded at the same time.

Hmph!

One after another, several large, muscular men appeared. Their faces carried a vicious air. Even if they wore suits and ties, they would still look like street thugs.

The leader was not muscular. Instead, he was a lean, thin man of short stature. Yet there was a tattoo between his brows: a third eye. Its blue iris looked almost alive, making it appear rather ferocious.

He did not actually have three eyes. He had simply gotten the tattoo to scare people. If someone saw him in the middle of the night, they really might be frightened.

"Brother Three Eyes! This brat has some skill. He knocked me senseless just now. We have to teach him a lesson!"

When the burly man saw Brother Three Eyes arrive, he revealed a fawning smile. When he looked at Chen Feng, though, his eyes were filled with menace. He had Chen Feng cornered.

A total of seven people approached from the distance and surrounded Chen Feng.

"Brat, this is Brother Three Eyes. Why aren't you getting over here and kneeling?"

The burly man from earlier borrowed Brother Three Eyes's authority to bark at him.

In the past, passersby had been beaten until they knelt on the ground bleeding, forced to obediently hand over their money.

Chen Feng glanced at them. With his keen senses, he could tell that these people were merely around the third or fourth stage of qi and blood. Some did not even know martial arts; they were just ordinary street thugs who specialized in bullying regular people.

They relied on numbers to bully the few.

They did not dare provoke anyone powerful, but when they encountered someone who looked like a student, like Chen Feng, they naturally tried to fleece every one they came across.

They were all cowards who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

"Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

The man frowned and reached out to grab Chen Feng by the neck.
