The bartender then placed the glass in front of Shi Jinwei.

Seeing her bored expression, I smiled and asked, "Is this your first time here, little sister?"

Shi Jinwei looked up and met a pair of gentle eyes.

There were several bartenders behind the bar; I didn't notice them when I ordered drinks.

I then realized that the bartender who was asking me the questions was a young lady wearing a three-piece suit.

His short, sparse hair paired with his delicate features makes him very handsome.

Her eyes, however, were surprisingly gentle.

Shi Jinwei nodded, and the bartender couldn't help but laugh: "It's better for a young lady not to come here alone, it's not safe."

Shi Jinwei looked down at her ordinary clothes; she looked like an ordinary person.

It's not surprising that people misunderstand you.

The other person meant well, so she nodded without saying a word.

The three superhumans nearby couldn't help but look up when they heard the bartender's voice.

He laughed too: "Where did this little girl come from? She looks like she's just come of age. Xiao Ning, you should advise her to go home early. This isn't one of those quiet bars."

The words weren't pleasant to hear, but the meaning was good, so Shi Jinwei didn't bother to argue.

He nodded to the bartender, picked up his glass, and stood up.

Go down and wander around for a bit, and find out some information about the black market.

My wrist was grabbed in the next second, and I instinctively wanted to fight back.

The bar girl then reminded her, "Remember to call the staff or security if you need anything."

It seems they really treat her like a little girl.

The unsolicited kindness made her nod involuntarily.

As I walked away, I overheard three people with superpowers laughing, "Tsk, a bar heiress coming down to experience life and even doing good deeds, that's rare indeed."

……

Her target was the superhuman in the booth.

I pretended to be looking for someone and wandered around inside for a while. Finally, I overheard a few people talking about going to the "black market" to sell their goods.

Having set a goal, she stopped wandering around aimlessly and sat in a booth near the group.

I occasionally swirl the wine in my glass and listen to them talk about missions outside the city.

Until they got up, they followed suit and left.

She rummaged through the props in the "photo studio" and pulled out a small black cloak:

Harry's Invisibility Cloak: When worn, you will gain invisibility (Note: Duration can be stacked throughout the day; effective against monsters below intermediate level, with decreasing effect on monsters above intermediate level; effective against humans, but ineffective against counter-surveillance tools). Duration: 2 hours.

It has the same effect as the [invisibility cloak] she bought.

Watching the group drive away, she took out a bamboo dragonfly, put it on her head, and flew after the car.

There are no charging shoes; the charging shoes make a slight hissing sound when in use.

All of them are people with superpowers; if they are vigilant and notice something amiss, it will be a losing proposition.

After driving for about an hour, the car stopped in front of a secondhand store.

Shi Jinwei followed the group into the shop and saw them hand the "Superpower Guild Certification Mark" on their bracelets to the shop assistant for a quick look.

Without any conversation, the shop assistant led the person around and into a small door next to the counter.

Several people carried large bundles on their backs and followed each other inside.

Shi Jinwei followed closely behind the last person like a little tail.

Behind the small door is the shop's warehouse, and behind the warehouse is another door; pushing it open leads to a staircase leading down.

The shop assistant dropped them off here and wouldn't leave; the superhumans went down on their own.

After climbing the long steps, there is a huge iron gate.

A gatekeeper was sitting there playing with his wristband. When he saw people, he checked their identification before opening the gate to let them in.

This black market is also built underground, but the difference is that almost everyone here has superpowers.

Including stall owners.

There were several ordinary people, dressed properly, followed by several superhuman bodyguards.

He looks like an ordinary person with influence.

Shi Jinwei stopped following after arriving here and wandered around in the shadows, hiding her cloak and making her own way.

Compared to the black market in Anbo City, the transactions here are even more unrestrained.

In addition to regular firearms with purchase restrictions, there are also "beam cannons".

In addition, there are many robots made from the bodies of mutated beasts.

Due to limited space, the tallest robot here is only about 4 meters tall, while the largest robot is over 6 meters tall.

It was modified from the body of a mutant.

These large mutant robots are said to be able to accompany superhumans on missions outside the city.

Only small robots are allowed to move around inside the city; larger ones must be parked in a designated storage area at the city gate.

It's like a parking lot; you have to pay every day.

They're also sold in shops outside, but they're very expensive.

Prices here are at least a third cheaper, and the shopkeepers will also help you with the paperwork and transport your goods outside the city.

That's why this business is very popular here.

There are also rumors online that An Xincheng is already researching "mechs" that humans can pilot.

Everyone is looking forward to it, not knowing when it will be released.

Shi Jinwei bought two beam guns and sixty magazines here.

Each magazine contains twenty energy cannon rounds.

Seeing her generosity, the boss offered her a 85% discount, rounding it up to a total of 25 contribution points.

She also discovered nanorobots specifically designed for reconnaissance, which are solar-powered and invisible to the naked eye.

It requires a person with superpowers to control it with their mental energy, and the maximum distance can reach more than 500 meters.

One item costs as much as 10 contribution points.

She bought five.

It has to be said that the prices here were higher than she expected.

Since she bought a lot of things, the shopkeeper was naturally more accommodating.

Knowing she was looking for information brokers, I recommended three to her.

The two bosses recommended six names, only one of which was a duplicate.

She decisively chose to repeat this, and found a tiny shop near a corner.

The shop has only one glass door that can be entered by one person, with a small wooden sign hanging on it.

The name above is quite ridiculous; it's simply "Information Vendor".

Pushing open the door, there was a small counter, behind which sat a person wearing a mask.

The person behind the counter saw her and lazily asked, "What do you want to know?"

He handed over a piece of paper and a pen.

Shi Jinwei wrote down all the information about the "Joint Mission".

The man took the paper, paused for a moment, and chuckled softly, "Young lady, this information isn't cheap; it'll cost at least this much."

He wrote 20 on the paper.

Seeing that Shi Jinwei nodded, he didn't say anything more.

He quickly tapped the bracelet a few times, then asked Shi Jinwei to extend the bracelet to him.

The bracelets are interlocked, and the data is automatically transferred into Shi Jinwei's bracelet.

It's about fifty pages long, which is quite a lot.

Shi Jinwei paid the money readily and was about to leave when the man called her back.

"Young lady, since you paid so readily, I'll give you some information that wasn't on the list for free. In the last mission, none of the mission participants survived. Nobody knows what happened to them. Their families have all been silenced by official orders," he said.

"They've all sealed it up, how did you know?" Shi Jinwei asked.

The man smiled. "In this world, even the dead can't always keep secrets, let alone the living."

He waved his hand, as if to see the guest off.

Shi Jinwei didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
