Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 197 Heading to the Black Market
The next day.

Three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Cheng officially went to the location of the black market.

In order to avoid attracting attention, he changed into a smaller handbag, put more than ten stacks of thousand-yuan bills in it, and hid it inside his clothes.

More than half a month has passed since the incident in Po Luozi Lane.

The streets returned to their former tranquility, and law enforcement officers could be seen occasionally, but they seemed to have lost the passion they had during the previous period.

When I see someone passing by, I just take a quick look and then look away.

Jiang Cheng took a bus, crossed half of the city, and arrived at the center of the outer city.

That’s right, the black market is close to the inner city, and no one would believe that it has no background.

When getting off the bus, Jiang Cheng was already wearing a mask, leaving only his eyes exposed.

There were actually a few people on the street wearing masks, or covering their faces with high collars.

Jiang Cheng had only taken a few steps when he felt that people's eyes were on him.

But soon, most of the eyes turned away.

Obviously, several people regarded him as a colleague, or a guy who didn't have much money.

Jiang Cheng remained calm and walked towards his destination.

This was also the experience he gained from Shi Yan. If you don't show off your wealth, no one will target you, unless you are unlucky.

In the front left, a man wearing a black mask looked around for a while, and after seeing that no one was planning to attack Jiang Cheng, he came over.

Jiang Cheng frowned.

Pretend nothing happened and walk forward.

If he escapes at this time, it might only encourage the other party's arrogance.

It’s better to walk straight ahead.

To be on the safe side, the Vajra Talisman was also activated.

Seeing Jiang Cheng like this, the man in the black mask hesitated.

When he was more than ten meters away from Jiang Cheng, he stopped and watched Jiang Cheng walk past.

Several figures in the crowd looked at each other, with sneers in their eyes.

With such little courage, you still want to follow their example and intercept?
However, this matter does involve great risks.

If you are unlucky and hit a wall, you are doomed.

Fortunately, those who came in the afternoon were not powerful characters. Of course, if it were really night, they might have become someone else's prey.

Jiang Cheng walked into a two-meter-wide alley and saw a big gate not far away. Two big men wearing masks stood on both sides like door gods.

The masks on their faces were also somewhat special, as they did not cover the entire face but only the eyes.

Apart from these two people, the entire alley was empty.

Jiang Cheng listened to the sound of his own footsteps, walked up to the two big men, and took out the token with the number 72 printed on it.

One of them took the token, looked at it, then nodded and returned it.

Jiang Cheng thanked him and walked in with the token.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I found that there was a garden scene inside.

I saw a winding stone bridge connecting the lush flowers and trees on both sides, and the quaint pavilions and towers were hidden among the greenery.

The corridor is winding, with echoes lingering. A breeze blows by, bringing wisps of fragrance and stirring up the pool of spring water, causing ripples.

"First time here?"

A middle-aged man's voice was heard from the room next door.

Jiang Cheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man wearing the same mask and a long gown, sitting behind a table and looking at him.

There was also a woman standing next to him, wearing a cheongsam and a mask.

Apart from him, the doors of several other rooms were also open. There were the same people, dressed the same way, which was a bit creepy.

"Come and register. If you are here to buy goods, you can deposit your money with us first to prevent loss. If you are here to sell goods, please take them out for us to see."

The middle-aged man who took the initiative to speak continued.

"Okay." Jiang Cheng walked over and took out the token again.

"72."

The middle-aged man read out the number on it, and then sighed, "It seems that this sign has not appeared for several years."

"Something happened to the original owner, so I bought it from their descendants." Jiang Cheng said.

"is it?"

The middle-aged man looked up at Jiang Cheng, his lips curled up, "Everyone who comes here says this."

The woman next to her covered her mouth and laughed.

"..."

Jiang Cheng was speechless.

"It doesn't matter how you got it. We only recognize the token, not the person."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and glanced at Jiang Cheng's stomach. "What's inside the clothes? It's better to take it out and have a look, right?"

Jiang Cheng took out his handbag and unzipped it.

The middle-aged man took a look inside, nodded and said, "Yes, you are much richer than the previous owner. With so much money, you can buy a lot of good things.

By the way, you can open an anonymous account with us and keep the money here. If you like something, you can directly use the money in the account to buy it and withdraw it whenever you want.
As long as you don't tell the password, no one else will ever be able to get the money in your account. Of course, you can continue to carry the money with you, but if it is lost, we are not responsible. "

“Open an account.”

Jiang Cheng was not worried that the other party would deceive him.

After all, this place has been open for so many years, it shouldn't be willing to sacrifice its credibility just to cheat one person.

"A wise choice, but I need to count them to confirm their authenticity."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

He glanced at the money detector next to him.

After a while, the middle-aged man finished the count, and it was exactly 160 million, no more, no less.

It took a few minutes to open an account.

Jiang Cheng got a black card with a string of numbers written on it.

"This card can be used not only here, but also in other banks to deposit and withdraw cash, including for consumption."

The middle-aged man said with a smile, his attitude was much better than before.

“Can it be used in inner city areas?”

"can."

Jiang Cheng was extremely surprised.

The person behind this black market is quite influential.

"This is the list of items for this auction. It has descriptions and reserve prices. You can take your time to look through them after you enter."

As the man spoke, he picked up a thick booklet from the table.

Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up.

This is a good thing.

Even if you can't afford it, you can still take a look and broaden your horizons.

"Oh, let me remind you again."

The middle-aged man's expression suddenly became serious. "Here, it is strictly forbidden to take action. If you violate it, the consequences will be confiscation of tokens and money, expulsion from the black market, or even immediate death. As for snatching auction items, I think you know that you can't do that without me reminding you. I hope you can abide by our rules, so that everyone will be better off."

"I will comply."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

He is not stupid. There must be a strong person in charge of a place like this.

They have to be at least at the Grandmaster level, and there is a high probability that there are more than one.

But he was also curious, what would happen if a master sneaked in? Maybe he would be discovered as soon as he sneaked in?
"That's good. Take him in and introduce him to me."

The middle-aged man looked at the woman beside him.
