Full-Time Magister: The Path to Invincibility

Chapter 167 Black Market

Out of a woman's intuition, or perhaps as an inspector appointed by Mu Ningxue and Ye Xinxia to specifically monitor Ling Tianyu's behavior, Ding Yumin deliberately walked with the two of them and positioned herself between them.

"Sigh, there aren't any rentals nearby. How about you share a place with me for a few days, and we can go back to the rental area off-campus after we find one..."

"No way!" Ding Yumin refused firmly. A man and a woman sharing an apartment—it just didn't feel right. The sparks of love could easily ignite.

"Why don't you live with me too?" Ling Tianyu suggested.

"Huh?" Ding Yumin was a little shy, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it wasn't impossible.

…………

Although university students are generally not allowed to live off-campus during their first semester, did Ling Tianyu experience any privileges he could get by?

Ding Yumin went back to her school dormitory to pack her things; she still needed to complete some procedures.

Ling Tianyu led Ai Yunling to Jinyuan Apartment first.

"This place is just too..."

Ai Yunling opened her mouth in surprise; she had never seen such a luxurious house before.

This decoration is so much better than my own shabby little house.

"You can take a good rest. You must be tired from the long journey. Then I'll take you for your second awakening tomorrow," Ling Tianyu said, scratching Xiao Qingdai, who was sitting on his shoulder with a curious expression.

"Are you satisfied, little guy?" Ling Tianyu said affectionately.

"Eek~" The little guy flew around excitedly, sometimes rolling around on the sofa with Ai Yunling, then flew into the bathroom, looking at the decorations with curiosity, fiddling with the faucet, and then putting himself under it to wash.

Plants generally prefer water, and she is no exception.

…………

Around 6 p.m., Ding Yumin had already packed some of her belongings and knocked on the door of Jinyuan Apartment. Having been there once before, she knew the way well.

There are four rooms upstairs, divided into two separate cubicles, which are some distance apart from each other.

Ai Yunling and Ding Yumin lived in two rooms in one cubicle, while Ling Tianyu lived in one room in another cubicle.

My focus is still on cultivation; women will only hinder my progress.

…………

The next day, Ling Tianyu went to the Oriental Pearl Tower to see if there were any plant-type spirit seeds for sale, and also took Ai Yunling to undergo the second level of intermediate awakening.

Ai Yunling's second element is wind, which is a pretty good magic element. With one element for attack and one for movement, it's practically perfect.

As for spirit seeds, each one costs over 20 million. No matter how wealthy Ling Tianyu is now, he can only afford to buy five spirit seeds, plus some fragments, which should last him about a month.

His current assets amount to eight or nine hundred million, but Qingdai's appetite will only grow day by day. If this continues, he will only be able to squander his wealth, and it is uncertain whether he can survive for more than half a year. Therefore, he has to find a way to make money from now on.

"Thank you for your patronage! We'll give you a 9% discount on spirit seeds next time you come!" The sales assistant was overjoyed; her commission would be substantial!

Ling Tianyu was just having a hard time when a sales assistant next to him said something.

"If you want to find some treasures, you can try your luck at the black market. I can secretly tell you the address."

…………

The underground black market in Shanghai is an officially sanctioned black market trading zone. Many items here are of dubious origin, and the stall owners come from all walks of life, including beginners, intermediates, advanced levels, and even some super-level individuals.

Ling Tianyu had just acquired a number of treasures from the Black Vatican, the origins of which were difficult to explain, so it would be perfect to sell them here.

There are designated recycling points on the black market. Of course, you can also choose to sell it yourself. If you choose to use a recycling point, the price will be lower, but it's more convenient. If you choose to sell it yourself, the price will be higher. Of course, some people who don't know their value will set the price very low, but that depends on your eloquence and eye for quality.

"Yunling, what are you doing here? This is no good place."

After spending these days together, the two have become quite familiar with each other.

"Oh, I'll just take a look!" Ai Yunling said.

"Alright, just watch from the side and don't make a sound. This isn't a good place," Ling Tianyu reminded him.

The people here are a mixed bag, making it one of the places that dark forces love to come to.

The two put on masks, and their first destination was the Chamber of Commerce recycling point located in the center of the black area.

Ling Tianyu's gains totaled around 6 million, mainly because those blue-robed deacons of the Black Church were relatively wealthy, especially some high-level magical artifacts, which were priced at tens of millions or more.

Ling Tianyu also gave Ai Yunling nearly 5000 million yuan as her start-up capital.

Next comes the treasure hunt, mainly focusing on the stalls randomly placed on both sides of the road, where most of the goods are undoubtedly fake. However, Ling Tianyu has a mobile treasure hunt tool, so Xiao Qingdai can easily spot any valuable or precious items.

"Waaaaah~"

Before they had walked far, Xiao Qingdai gave instructions: the third stall to Lin Tianyu's right, the third item from the left, was a treasure that looked like a withered lotus flower.

Because it didn't look very good, the vendor's price was also very low, 5 yuan.

"Waaah~" Qingdai cried out, wanting to eat.

"Okay, this is it!" Ling Tianyu knew he had found his first treasure and paid for it without hesitation. Anything that Qingdai had her eye on was worth at least several hundred thousand.

"Here you go!" Ling Tianyu placed the withered lotus flower into the contract space.

"Waaaaah~"

With Qingdai's guidance, Ling Tianyu became incredibly powerful, and many dusty plant treasures obediently ended up in his pocket.

In summary, Ling Tianyu spent over ten million to buy a treasure worth no less than one small goal. Now he had double happiness. The stall owner thought he made a profit, but in reality, the lion's share was earned by Ling Tianyu!

Ai Yunling couldn't get a word in edgewise; her perspective was still too naive. The few times she tried, she suffered heavy losses, spending millions to buy only a million worth of goods—a huge loss!

In fact, she is considered relatively lucky. Some people spend a small amount of money and end up with nothing but a useless person.

"Hey, I want a refund!" A scarred man slammed the goods onto the stall menacingly.

"I spent tens of millions to get this piece of trash!"

"Don't forget this is the black market, you can't act recklessly here!" Before the stall owner could say anything, an angry shout rang out, and a group of people rushed over and surrounded the troublemaker.

"Sigh, this is what happens to troublemakers; they're just hotheads!"

The black market has its own rules: first, forced buying and selling is prohibited; second, all goods must be sold and returns are not accepted.
