Chapter 309 Black Market!
"Is the black market underground?"
After the hover car landed, Su Xiaofan looked around.
On the ground is a garbage mountain about seven or eight meters high, which is estimated to cover an area of thousands of square meters, but it has already been cleaned up.
Many metals that have no recycling value are stuck together under the corrosion of acid rain, looking like a steel monster lying on the ground.
"It's really troublesome if the divine sense is damaged."
Su Xiaofan sighed, the observation range of divine sense is too small now, Su Xiaofan did not lock the location of the black market until after the hover car landed.
However, for a period of time in the future, Su Xiaofan can only adapt to this state. If he wants to restore his spiritual sense, it will not be possible in a short while.
"Yes, Master, this black market is said to have existed for thousands of years."
Muge jumped off the suspension car, and the car automatically locked with a snap. This is a biological lock, which can only be opened by detecting the biological gene of Muge.
Of course, this kind of lock is also very easy to crack. In this black market, there are at least 20 black shops that can crack the biological lock of the hover car.
After parking the car, Mu Ge took out a bright silver reflective car cover and covered the hover car.
Su Xiaofan discovered that, as long as the cars parked here are not covered, they will basically be covered with car clothes.
"Acid rain often occurs outside the city, so most of the trading places are underground."
Mu Ge explained something to Su Xiaofan, and said enviously: "There will be no such problems in the city, they can be active on the ground all day long."
The atmosphere of the garbage star was originally artificially manufactured. When the garbage star was still a resource star, those consortiums would pay for maintaining the artificial atmosphere.
The resource star at that time had beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate. There were man-made seas and various tourist attractions on the planet. It was a famous tourist planet in the Purple Blood Star Field.
But when the resources of the planet were exhausted, the major financial groups withdrew from the resource star one after another, and the cost of maintaining the artificial atmosphere naturally disappeared.
Thousands of years have passed, and under the erosion of cosmic energy, the artificial atmosphere on Garbage Star has long been riddled with holes, and the planetary environment has become extremely harsh.
The main city of Garbage Star, relying on the remaining mineral resources, can barely support the protective cover, and it is struggling to maintain it.
But outside the main city, due to the radiation of cosmic rays and the infiltration of cosmic energy, many powerful mutant beasts and mutants appeared.
The place where Pastoral and the others lived was cleared by the army in the main city, so it was relatively safe.
However, in the wild area, mutant beasts are rampant, and few people dare to go there alone. The garbage mountain there is also dominated by mutant beasts.
This situation is still deteriorating further. As the atmosphere continues to be destroyed, the living space of people on the garbage star is also constantly being compressed.
"This is a forgotten planet!"
Listening to Muge's explanation and looking at the devastated scene, Su Xiaofan slightly shook his head.
Although the technology of the purple blood civilization is many times more advanced than that of the earth, it does not mean that the people living in the purple blood civilization are happy.
Although there are disasters and wars on the earth, the overall living environment is much better than this garbage star.
And Garbage Star has no prospects at all.
Maybe in a few thousand years, this planet will become a planet suitable for mutated beasts or mutated people who can survive in cosmic rays, and human beings will disappear here.
Su Xiaofan thinks that disappearance is death. He doesn't think these ordinary purple blood people or human beings have the chance to be sent to other life planets.
"Master, here, the sky is about to rain."
Pastoral looked up at the sky. Every afternoon, there would be a burst of acid rain. At that time, people had to hide in safe houses or underground.
Su Xiaofan nodded, quickened his pace, and followed the pastoral song to the edge of the garbage mountain.
Came to an alloy door, Muge knocked on the door a few times, and then said to a camera: "Uncle Tal, I'll take my friend to the market."
"It's Xiaomu, come in, it's about to rain outside."
The alloy door opened inwards, revealing a downward passage, which is quite spacious, even a hover car can drive down directly.
Su Xiaofan followed Muge down the passage, walked down about ten meters, and stepped on the ground with both feet.
The underground space is very open, with a height of 10 to 20 meters, and at a glance, there is no end in sight.
The places that Su Xiaofan can see are all shops, most of which are made of metal. Metal is worthless on Garbage Star, and wood is the most valuable building material.
"Uncle Tal, thank you very much."
Pastoral said to a purple blood man sitting by the passage: "I got some good tobacco leaves, and I will bring them back to you, Uncle Tal."
"That's a good thing, thank you Xiaomu."
The Zixue man was about thirty-four years old, his body and appearance were almost identical to that of a human being, except that there was a vertical eye on the forehead above Yintang.
Tal's vertical eyes were closed when he was talking to Muge, but when he turned to Su Xiaofan, those closed vertical eyes opened.
"Huh? There are energy fluctuations."
Su Xiaofan looked at Shuyan with a blank face, and he felt that there seemed to be a kind of energy contained in Shuyan, sweeping across his body.
It seems that the vertical eyes of the purple blood people are an evolutionary choice.
Perhaps the distant ancestors of the Zixue people were also human beings, but in some specific environments, the appearance of vertical eyes is required, so the Zixue people appeared.
"Xiao Mu, the person you bring in, you have to be a guarantee, and you can't make trouble inside." The purple blood man Tal said to Muge.
"I know, Uncle Tal, then we will pass." Muge nodded, obviously this is the rule of the black market.
"Xiao Maki."
Tal stopped the pastoral, with a look of hesitation on his face, suddenly lowered his voice, and said, "You should be more careful recently."
"Huh?" Pastoral is also a bit temperamental, and he can't help but nodded when he heard the words, and looked around alertly.
"Aren't the purple blood people hostile to humans?"
After leaving the passage, Su Xiaofan's voice rang in Muge's mind.
Su Xiaofan felt very strange about that Tal's attitude, he could feel that Tal was really good to Mu Ge.
"No, it's just a small group of people."
Muge shook his head when he heard the words, lowered his voice a little, and said, "Most of the Zixue people have a good relationship with humans, but Boss Adam and Boss Lin don't have a good relationship, so it's difficult for the people below..."
After hearing Muge's explanation, Su Xiaofan immediately understood that the Garbage Star and the Purple Blood Starfield are not the same.
During the thousands of years when the resources were exhausted, both the Purple Blood people and the human beings belonged to the abandoned people, and the superiority of the Purple Blood nobles was only reflected in the main city.
Outside the main city, the purple blood people and humans are all people struggling on the verge of death. There is no racial hostility between them, and it is more caused by interests.
Among human beings, there are also chaos, rebellion and fighting caused by interests, and the purple blood people are the same.
Humans and purple blood people also have friends, and there are even many intermarriages, and there is no reproductive isolation between the two races.
Like Tal, he is a hybrid of humans and purple blood people, but his genes are more inclined to purple blood people, so he has the characteristics of purple blood people.
Garbage star was abandoned because of the reason, the purple blood people and human beings are already you and me, and it is difficult to have a strict definition.
"Let's go, Master, let's go to Uncle Niu's place first, Uncle Niu should be back." Muge led Su Xiaofan to the black market.
Although it is called a black market, the market is not dark at all, and the energy consumed by the lighting is not worth mentioning to the former resource star.
The entire market is brightly lit, even brighter than the gray sky outside.
And there are a lot of people in the market, just like shopping malls on the earth, many people come in and out of each store.
Su Xiaofan even saw some purple-blooded girls in fancy dresses, winking at him, but the vertical eyes on his forehead made Su Xiaofan couldn't help shivering.
"Muge, are most of these weapon shops here?"
Su Xiaofan found out that after walking past four or five shops, three of them were weapon shops, and one or two were communication and recycling shops.
"Yes, Master, on Garbage Star, weapons are the most important thing." Mu Ge touched the backpack on his shoulder, obviously a little reluctant to let go of the laser gun inside.
"Uncle Niu also owns a weapon shop, it's right in front, and we'll be there soon."
Mu Ge quickened his pace a little, and led Su Xiaofan into a shop.
The shop is not very big, only about ten square meters.
There is no counter in the store, just a lot of brackets on the wall, and all the weapons sold are hung on it.
Su Xiaofan glanced at the wall, and found that most of the cold weapons hanging on the wall were swords, but he didn't see any laser guns like Muge.
"Aunt Niu, I'm here. Is Uncle Niu back?"
As soon as Pastoral entered the room, he greeted a woman sitting inside, obviously familiar with her.
"It's Xiaomu, your Uncle Niu just came back and went out again, saying he would be back in a while."
Aunt Niu was a human in her thirties, but Su Xiaofan noticed that there seemed to be a vertical eye between her eyebrows, but it didn't appear.
"It should also be a hybrid of humans and purple blood people."
Su Xiaofan thought silently in his heart that on these planets, it seems that the fusion of the two races has been very deep.
Aunt Niu kept looking at Su Xiaofan, she knew that Mu Ge was a lone ranger and would rarely bring people into the store.
"Aunt Niu, this is my master."
Mu Ge obviously trusts the other party, "Master is from the main city, but today I hurt my head, and I have some amnesia..."
Muge is very smart, he knows that Su Xiaofan's origin is worthy of scrutiny, but he still tells it according to his original idea.
And when he took Su Xiaofan away, Uncle Niu was also watching with his own eyes, this statement should be able to fool the past.
"You still want to learn from a teacher after losing your memory, don't cause trouble, kid."
Aunt Niu pulled Mu Ge over and said in a low voice: "Why don't you discuss this matter with your Uncle Niu, in case he has any enemies in the main city..."
Living in the main city is not without danger. In fact, on Garbage Star, fights are everywhere.
Every year, there are many people in the main city, who become gold diggers outside the city just like Pastoral.
There are even some people who go to the wild to hunt mutant beasts. Those who are unlucky have already become the food of mutant beasts, and now they have been pulled out to give back to the garbage star.
"It's okay, Aunt Niu, my master can be trusted."
Mu Ge laughed and said: "Aunt Niu, when did I miss someone, don't worry."
Mu Ge knew that Aunt Niu really cared about him. When he followed Uncle Niu a few years ago, he lived in Aunt Niu's house for several years and was treated like his own child.
"You just know it in your heart, hey, your Uncle Niu is back." Aunt Niu was talking when she looked up and saw her husband walk into the store.
"Uncle Niu, I'm here."
Muge went up to meet him, and introduced to Uncle Niu: "This is my master, the one who was knocked unconscious by me this morning. My master's surname is Su."
"Huh? Really not dead?"
Hearing Mu Ge's introduction, Uncle Niu couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Based on his experience, he thought that the person in the morning was dead.
"I'm really sorry, this kid is too reckless, accidentally hit you."
Uncle Niu is very polite to Su Xiaofan, his eyesight is much more poisonous than pastoral, he can tell at a glance that Su Xiaofan has an aura of a superior person.
The so-called high-ranking person is someone who is used to giving orders, or who is above ordinary people.
Over time, this kind of person will have an aura on his body, even if he doesn't speak, it will be revealed unnaturally.
"It's okay, pastoral is pretty good."
Su Xiaofan nodded and didn't say much, he didn't know much about Garbage Star, so he made many mistakes.
"Uncle Niu, go inside and talk."
Mu Ge gave Su Xiaofan a hand and winked at Uncle Niu.
The store is divided into inside and outside rooms, but the inside is not very big, and it looks very crowded with a bed.
"You boy, what do you want?"
Uncle Niu knew Muge very well. He pulled him inside to talk, either because he wanted to buy or sell, and it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
"Uncle Niu, two things."
Pastoral said: "Do you still have the energy stone? Give me one."
"Energy stone? I remember the energy stone on your side. It's only been used for a year, right?"
Uncle Niu frowned. The energy stone is different from ordinary energy. One piece can be used for a long time.
"My master wants it!" Mu Ge didn't lie to Uncle Niu.
"Wait, let me ask one more question first, why do you worship this brother Su as your teacher?"
Uncle Niu looked at Muge puzzled. Based on his understanding of Muge, this kid has always been unwilling to be inferior to others. Even if he is himself, he can't convince him.
"My master is amazing!"
Mu Ge smiled wryly and said, "Uncle Niu, don't ask, I'll exchange the chip."
Mu Ge didn't want to lie to Uncle Niu, but Uncle Niu didn't know about his practice of physical exercise.
"Chip? I knew you kid had something good."
Uncle Niu didn't ask any more questions, and pressed his right hand on the metal plate at the head of the bed, and a hidden box popped out.
"How much do you want? I'll only have the last three." Uncle Niu took out a small box from it, and after opening it, there were three energy stones inside.
"Just one piece."
Su Xiaofan said, I just want to see how much repair value this low-level energy stone can provide.
If there are more offers, Su Xiaofan will look for them through other channels. Three or five yuan is really not of much use to him.
"Okay, what's one more thing?"
Uncle Niu took out an energy stone and handed it to Su Xiaofan directly, without asking Muge for a chip.
Uncle Niu could tell from Su Xiaofan's attitude that the other party didn't care much about the energy stone, obviously it wasn't a valuable item in Su Xiaofan's eyes.
"Uncle Niu, Master lost his brain, I want to replace it." Mu Ge glanced at Su Xiaofan and said.
"Huh? Go to the main city to replenish the brain. There is a place to replace the brain at the gate of the main city."
Uncle Niu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, because the gold diggers and the hunters in the wild would fight from time to time, so it is very common for the brain to be damaged.
In this case, you only need to report your brain and edit it, and you can get it outside the main city.
And as long as the basic smart brain is needed, the price is very cheap, which is only three or five purple blood coins.
"Uncle Niu, it's inconvenient to renew the master's identity, can you get one on the black market?"
Although Mu Ge has guesses in his heart, he doesn't fully know the origin of Master, so he can only speak vaguely.
"Get a black market identity?"
Uncle Niu frowned when he heard Muge's words. This matter is easy to do, but difficult to do.
There are a lot of shady people in the black market, some are wanted people who committed crimes in the main city and escaped, and some are people who wander in the underground world.
These two types of people almost all use their identities on the black market. In the black market, there is a shop opened by a Zixue man who sells identities and helps people bind their brains.
But if you want to buy a smart brain there, it is not enough to have Zixue coins, and you need someone to guarantee it.
Moreover, when buying a smart brain, I cannot go to that store, only the guarantor can go to buy it.
This allows the person who guarantees the purchase of the brain, after the real identity is found out, not to be involved in black market shops.
This is what troubled Uncle Niu.
Mu Ge is not from the black market, he is not qualified to guarantee, and Mu Ge found his own meaning, obviously wanting to guarantee him for him.
If Uncle Niu is asked to vouch for Muge, he will agree, because he knows Muge well.
But Uncle Niu was not so willing to give Su Xiaofan a guarantee. After all, a guarantee is a big risk.
The black market intellectual brain purchaser has an accident, if he bears it himself, then the guarantor will be fine.
But if that person commits a major crime and is arrested, and then provides a guarantor for the purchase of the brain, then the guarantor will be in bad luck.
"Uncle Niu, don't you still trust me?"
Pastoral opened the backpack, poured out all the chips inside, and then took out the laser gun.
"Uncle Niu, all these are given to you, is it enough?"
Pastoral has taken out all his wealth.
"You boy, are you dying?"
Uncle Niu was also a little surprised when he saw those chips. He didn't expect that Muge really saved a lot of good things.
As for the laser gun, Uncle Niu didn't care much.
People who hang out in the black market all day, who don't have a few self-defense weapons, the laser gun on Uncle Niu's body is much better than the one on the bed.
"Mu Ge, you also know that I will guarantee that I will take a lot of risks."
Uncle Niu gave a wry smile, turned his face to Su Xiaofan, and said, "Brother Su, it stands to reason that you were brought by Muge, I should believe it, but..."
Uncle Niu only spoke half of what he said, but he believed that Su Xiaofan could understand, that is, he could not trust him.
"How about this, you help me buy a smart brain that can bind identities, I owe you a favor!"
Su Xiaofan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Or, I can help you solve a problem, what do you think?"
Comparatively speaking, Su Xiaofan is more willing to help Uncle Niu solve his troubles than to owe favors, because favors are much more difficult to solve than troubles.
"this…"
Hearing what Su Xiaofan said, Uncle Niu immediately hesitated.
Uncle Niu didn't know Su Xiaofan's background, but when Su Xiaofan spoke, it made people feel very convincing.
