Chapter 178 - Phoenix Dead Souls Black Market
“Let’s go, I’ll bring the three of you to see the black market.”
After the senior introduced a few of his close friends to Lin Xuan and the other two, he brought them to the mysterious black market.
“As for me, I still have to go to my office to do some paperwork. I’ll bring you there but won’t stay long. I’ll call a few of my old classmates and have a drink with them tonight.”
As he did not know that Lin Xuan and the others were here for the promotion mission, he really thought that the three of them were just here to see the sights. Therefore, he did not mention the battle part. In fact, he even thought that if there was a battle mission in the future, he could bring his juniors with him.
“We’re actually here for the promotion.. We’re a little tight on time right now.”
Seeing that the senior was sincerely helping them and that the gathering might take a lot of time, Lin Xuan might as well make things clear.
“You guys are in your third year of high school this year?”
The senior turned his head around with a complicated expression. He had also touched the threshold of mystic-rank in his third year of high school and had been trying to advance all this while. He finally completed his advancement before graduation and was now a graduate of Di Yi. He was extremely happy.
“No, we are still in our first year of high school.”
Lin Xuan smiled and replied.
“You guys are students of Di Yi’s top class?!”
“Yup?”
“You’ve been staying in the world dungeon for the past few months.. So you guys are still members of the first year’s school team?”
The senior covered his face. As students who had graduated from Di Yi, they could still watch the live broadcast and replay of the school team selection through Di Yi’s watch. However, he had not returned toTaixia recently, he wasn’t clear about the matter of Di Yi’s school team selection.
“I’m Di Yi’s Vice-president, Lin Xuan. These two are my teammates!”
The Vice-president?!
He knew the legend of Di Yi, Qin Fen. He had met him before. The school team generally referred to him as the President, and the vice president was supposed to be a first-year!
He was a prodigy that was on par with Qin Fen!
And he was his schoolmate!

Immediately, he took out his cell phone and contacted another manager, “Hello, Chen. I won’t be going back in the afternoon. Help me cover my shift. Yes, yes, yes, my schoolmates are here. I have to entertain them well. Okay, okay, okay, that’s it!”
After putting down the phone, the enthusiasm on his face increased threefold, “Let’s go. I’ll show you around this black market and buy some things for the mission.”
The location of the black market was very hidden. In order to prevent commoners from entering it, it was set at the end of a number one subway line. Common people could only enter the black market at a specific time. However, Lin Xuan and the other ability users in Taixia Country had to go through the task hall of the Bright Phoenix building. With special vehicles, they could enter the black market in real-time without waiting.
In a capsule carriage, the senior led them in, “We’re almost there. Wait a moment!”
Soon after, Lin Xuan’s face changed. They were moving too fast. If not his good hearing and the comprehension of wind supreme, he could sense their current moving speed in a split second!
In less than half a minute, the lights which indicated that they had arrived at the station had been lit, “We’re here. Let’s get off. Oh, right, masks and cloaks. We can save a lot of trouble wearing those!”
The three of them had not prepared masks and cloaks. However, there were a few sets of spare ones in the capsule carriage. After casually taking one set and putting it on, the senior pulled open the carriage door and shouted, “Welcome to the Phoenix Dead Souls black market!”
The western capital black market, also known as the Phoenix Dead Souls black market, was the most unique of the four black markets. It was not built on Blue Planet but in a world dungeon. It could not be said to be short-lived. It existed a long time ago, previously, it was located somewhere in the Western Capital. Later on, when the evil void soul world dungeon appeared, the Bright Phoenix gained a great advantage in the world dungeon. Additionally, it valued the advantage of the world dungeon connecting all the parts of the Blue Planet, therefore, it moved the black market into a world dungeon!
This black market, which had been declining due to the geographical environment, inconvenient transportation, and other problems, suddenly gained a new life. Not only did it increase the trading volume, but it also gained rare western resources in the other regions of Taixia Country. It was a bit out of the ordinary for a city to be the bridgehead of opening to the outside world.
However, that was not important now!
What was important was that the people had discovered an alternative application of world instance dungeon which could be used as a bridge of communication and trade between countries. However, it was a pity that the world instance dungeon was still there after entering it, they could not use the world dungeon as a teleportation space instead.
Although the Ghost City was suppressed by the Bright Phoenix, it was still a relatively chaotic situation. People from dozens of countries were mixed in. The language of the world dungeon could still be used uniformly, but there were some customs, habits, and so on that people had to adapt to.
For example, haggling. Some vendors could not simply ask for a price because in their country, asking for a price meant that one was determined to get the item. It meant that one had to buy it, and then the haggling would end, if the buyer went back on his word at this time, that vendor would kill someone!
It was not that the buyer was playing with their emotions, nor was it that the seller was forcing the seller to buy and sell. It was mainly because both parties had different views. Therefore, Lin Xuan and the other security guards would also wear the patrol uniforms of the Ghost City and act as the law enforcement officers to stop and mediate some conflicts!
Looking at a few people who were fighting in a crowd not far away and them being quickly arrested by the law enforcement officers, Lin Xuan could not help but sigh. “This place is really messy. Would those people go to jail?”
“How can they go to jail? There is a limit to the number of days each person can stay in the world dungeon. The more contribution they make, the longer they can stay. If they go to jail, wouldn’t that be a waste of their development time? Therefore, there is only one punishment in the world dungeon, and that is money!”
Money was considered a high penalty in the dungeon space. This would not hurt the ability users, but it could make them feel financial pain. Any bit of resources was crucial.
“Let’s go and buy a barrier first. It’s very practical. It can effectively isolate the native humans in the dungeon, so we don’t need to be tied up in battle anymore.”
The barrier was not a one-time-use item. As long as it was not damaged, it could be used for a long time. Besides the barrier, there was also a large amount of holy water that they bought. The seller was a vampire who showed his fangs.
The appearance of the Phoenix Dead Souls black market allowed the Dark Holy Court in Western Europe to finally catch their breath under the attack of the Holy Church of Light. In the past, the holy water that they had obtained from killing knights, bishops, and saints could only be thrown away. However, things were different now, if they brought the holy water from the Phoenix Dead Souls black market, they could resell it at a high price. Then, they could use the money to buy darkness-type extraordinary resources to strengthen themselves and continue hunting the people of the Holy Church of Light!
No matter what, the appearance of the Phoenix Dead Souls black market had indeed affected the distribution of power in many places!
