Cthulhu Card Making: Medusa Card Making at the Beginning.

Chapter 102 Black Market, Entering Scene Card Again
After leaving the card-making room, Lin Mo and Chu Xiaoxiao drove to the black market.

"Lin Mo, have you ever been to the black market?"

Halfway through the journey, Chu Xiaoxiao, who was driving an off-road vehicle, suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head and said, "I am a law-abiding citizen. I have been named an outstanding moral role model of Yuanjiang No. 1 Middle School for two consecutive years and received a scholarship every semester."

"Speak human language." Chu Xiaoxiao, who was holding the steering wheel, raised her eyebrows.

"I haven't been there. Why are you asking this?" Lin Mo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, answered truthfully.

However, although he had never been to the black market, he still had some knowledge about such places.

He racked his brains to collect some material cards.

Of course, he had heard of the shady underground transactions on the black market.

Such places exist in the streets and alleys of every city, and they deliberately avoid the sight of the authorities and the Card Masters Alliance.

Cheap but high quality materials, rare cards cheaper than official ones.
The fragments of advanced guiding techniques, things that cannot be sold through regular channels on the market, mostly end up on the black market through various means.

As for the transaction method, like the card alliance, in addition to cash, it also supports the use of points for buying and selling.

In the market, where there is demand there will be supply, as long as the benefits are sufficient.
The official and alliance sides of course have a completely boycotted attitude towards private trading venues such as the black market.

Unfortunately, there are too many black markets everywhere, and it is difficult to completely clean them up in a short period of time.

In addition, the black market does meet the needs of many middle and lower-level card artists in the circle, so over time, as long as it does not cause serious harm to social stability, the authorities have acquiesced to the existence of this transaction.

Of course, if it is found on the surface, it still needs to be cleaned.

As for the black market, they were also very sensible and shortened the original opening hours, and the specific opening hours were not fixed each time.

As a result, although the number of transactions has decreased, the quality of transactions has been significantly improved, and there will even be permanent customers, like the one next to me.

"Then how about letting me be your inviter? Then you can open a card-making shop in the black market, like me."

"Does your grandfather know that you opened a shop in the black market?" Lin Mo couldn't help but be curious, so he didn't answer Chu Xiaoxiao directly.

Moreover, if you make the card yourself, the quality will be too high and others may not be able to use it.

Even though adult cards made of low-quality materials only consume physical strength, if the quality of the materials used to make the cards is higher, it will not simply consume physical strength.

Lin Mo's words did not receive a response from Chu Xiaoxiao.

Turning around, I happened to see someone pursing her red lips with a conflicted look on her face.

Apparently, Dr. Nan Guang had no idea that his granddaughter had opened a grocery store on the black market.

Although the name is a grocery store, Lin Mo doesn't believe that they sell groceries there.

What kind of groceries would need to be sold specifically on the black market.

Tianxie was driving very fast. After a while, Chu Xiaoxiao stopped the car. However, the destination was a little unexpected for Lin Mo.

"So, this is the black market?" Lin Mo looked out the car window in surprise. Not far away from him, there was a big signboard with "Yuanjiang District Trading Market" clearly written on it.

"Half and half. The black market is here, and this place doesn't count." Chu Xiaoxiao said, and then slowly put away her black-framed glasses.

Lin Mo was surprised when he heard Chu Xiaoxiao's affirmative words.

This kind of large trading market is usually located at the border between two districts.

As a transportation hub, the intensity of business control here should be second only to that of the city center.

So how could a shady trading point like the black market appear in such a place?

It's dark under the lamp
For a moment, this word was the only one that came to his mind to describe it.

As the area between the two districts and a key area for transportation, Lin Mo always felt that the construction here would be more prosperous. Even if it is not as good as the center of Qingxi City, it should be not much different.

But when Lin Mo jumped out of the car, the scene before him completely overturned what he had thought before.

Dust was floating on the unmaintained and unplanned road.

There were no tall buildings on either side, not even anything that looked modern.

There are only shops and tall tents on both sides of the road.

The street is not very wide, but there are all kinds of people walking on it.

Some were wearing dark dresses, some were wearing blue-gray gowns, and some were even wearing leather jackets. They rode on horses that were flaming all over, and their hooves made crisp sounds as they stepped on the road.

Each person seems to represent an era.

When I looked up, I saw a luminous board with the big words "Yuanjiang District Trading Market" on it.

Chu Xiaoxiao turned the vehicle into a card and put it into a storage item - a pair of jade bracelets.

Also included was Tianxi, who had just floated out of the car.

"What's the point of taking the Tianxi?" Lin Mo looked at Chu Xiaoxiao's actions, puzzled.

"You'd better hide all the things that symbolize your status here." After checking it, Chu Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously at Lin Mo and then walked in. The further she walked in, the more light began to flicker and change on Chu Xiaoxiao's body.

The medium-length black hair gradually extended to the waist and hips, and the originally petite figure became unusually tall.

Her slender five fingers were holding a fan with an ancient style. Even her urban girl's outfit had changed into a cheongsam with a red background and dark patterns.

It perfectly shows Chu Xiaoxiao's curves and figure.

Oh my god, a lolita has transformed into a mature lady.

Lin Mo, who was standing behind her, was completely dumbfounded.

How come there are people who can change their clothes in a second?

Lin Mo followed him reluctantly, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"

At this time, Chu Xiaoxiao's entire appearance had changed.

Facing Lin Mo's question, she just chuckled, then raised her wrist slightly, put her fan against Lin Mo's chin, and said, "Little brother, are you interested in a costume prop card? I'll give you 6000 federal coins. If you don't have one, you can pay me 600 points."

Lin Mo reached out and slapped the other person's fan away, and said helplessly: "Stop making trouble."

He suddenly discovered that the girls around him were all hypocritical. For example, Chu Xiaoxiao, who looked quiet on the outside, was actually full of rebelliousness and wildness in her bones.

She has a similar personality to Bai Xinqiao, but is bolder than Bai Xinqiao.

"Hahaha~ You and Qiaoqiao have exactly the same reaction." Seeing the fan being slapped away, Chu Xiaoxiao was not annoyed. She seemed to have become a different person. She just said lightly: "The core location here is the black market. I suggest you use a disguise card to disguise yourself."

As she spoke, she handed a card that was flashing green light to Lin Mo with her slender jade hand.

"My source of power may not support me using this thing to disguise myself." After taking the card and looking at it for two or three seconds, Lin Mo silently handed the card back.

"Double card master talent, evil god card," Chu Xiaoxiao said with a faint smile, and then pointed at the card surface with the end of the fan in her hand.

"It's okay. This card has an energy mark to drive it. It won't explode."

Lin Mo's eyes widened, "You know about the card explosion?"

"The built-in circuits of Tianxie are the most advanced in the entire Federation. It is not difficult to find out something about you, if it is simple."

"Tsk, the talent of a dual card master, I've only heard of it before, but so far this is the first time I've seen one alive." Chu Xiaoxiao said and stepped in.

Of course, she couldn't find out these things. It was only after she pestered her grandfather that she found out.

Lin Mo raised his eyes to glance at Chu Xiaoxiao, then looked down at the cards and sighed helplessly.

With a little thing like Tianxi around, he was completely stripped down to his underwear in front of the other party.

As the light flickered, there was no change on Lin Mo's body, except that he had an extra mask on his face. To be precise, it was a mask that only covered half of his face and could not serve any camouflage function at all.

"No, Sister Xiaoxiao, is your disguise card broken?" Lin Mo quickly caught up with the other party.

"No, it's just a half-face mask that can cover your face. This is your first time here, and you may not come again in the future." Chu Xiaoxiao said unhappily.

After glancing at Lin Mo, the expression on her face suddenly changed, and she smiled faintly: "If you want to change, it's not impossible, but I only have girls' cross-dressing here, do you want to try it?"

"That's not necessary. I probably won't come here again."

Feeling the other party's bad taste, Lin Mo waved his hand, then lowered his voice and said: "Are these other people also pretending?"

"That's not the case. Making a disguise prop card still requires a certain level of technical skills."

Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly and glanced at the people on the street who were dressed differently.

They all have their original appearance, but their dress and style tend to be those of the older generation of card artists.

Just like the man who was riding a horse through the street just now, what he was riding was actually his Kaling - the spiritual fire long-tailed horse.

The black market is located in the center of the entire street.

Before entering the black market, you need to pay nearly 100,000 federal coins as a deposit.

Of course, if it is a merchant in the black market, relevant proof will be required.

The people in charge of the inspection wore animal masks with tiger and rabbit heads and wore uniform uniforms.

There is also a medal with a uniform pattern pinned on the chest.

"Sir, this is your ID card, please take it and wish you a pleasant transaction."

When entering the black market, only Lin Mo was stopped and made to do preliminary registration, while Chu Xiaoxiao was allowed to pass directly.
He took a step forward, and the scene before his eyes changed again, accompanied by a dizzying feeling. Compared with the trading street just now, this place was completely two different worlds.

Scene card?
This familiar feeling made Lin Mo make a judgment subconsciously.

At the same time, the jade bracelet on Chu Xiaoxiao's wrist was also emitting light regularly.

"Haha, what a coincidence! It looks like they've arrived too. Let's go and meet them."

Lin Mo nodded. He knew that Chu Xiaoxiao was talking about the other members of the same team for this mission.
