MTL - My Talent Can Constantly Evolve-Chapter 22 Jing'an Lane
On the street, Lu Heng walked quickly with a knife in hand.
Occasionally, some pedestrians cast curious glances at him.
Actually, there are quite a few people walking with weapons on the street, but these people are generally older than Lu Heng.
Everyone will look at him more because they think that he can take a knife to the streets at a young age. He must be a student of Wuhan University, and he is also the kind of pillar who is valued by teachers.
Like those who can only enter the martial arts gym to learn martial arts, they are not very talented in martial arts. It is impossible to get a coach's guarantee at such a young age and leave the martial arts gym with a knife.
After walking along the street for a while, Lu Heng turned into an alley.
Then I walked a long way in the criss-crossing alleys, and finally came to a slightly wider alley.
This is the so-called black market.
Of course, the black market is what everyone is used to calling it. In fact, the full name of this alley is Jing'an Alley.
On the surface, Jing'an Lane looks no different from other streets and lanes, but many people in Jiangnan City know that it is dedicated to private transactions.
And the main materials of the trade are those from the wilderness.
That's right, this era implemented a planned economy, and in principle, speculative behavior is not allowed.
But the problem is that the government only wants to get the city, but not the wilderness.
The materials in the city can be distributed according to the plan, but what about the things obtained in the wilderness?
For example, valuable monster materials, valuable herbs and so on.
After these things were brought into the city by some people, they must find a way to deal with them.
The government has recovered the bulk of it, but the government cannot give high prices for things of little value.
So in order to maximize the benefits of what they have at hand, people will choose to conduct private transactions.
In the end, under the compromise of all parties, the product of the black market was born.
In fact, the foundation for the real existence of the black market is not market demand, but warriors.
The things that are traded in the black market can be traced back to the source in all likelihood and are related to warriors.
For the group of warriors, the public can't completely restrain them, and many times they can only choose to turn a blind eye.
Of course, another point is that the human resources of various government departments are very tight, and there are not enough manpower to manage some things.
'The main thing here is to sell things in the wilderness, and I don't know if I can get information about monsters. ’
While thinking about it, Lu Heng walked through the crowd.
This Jing'an Lane is just a small street, but there are more pedestrians than the street outside.
It can be said that this is the street with the heaviest fireworks in the entire Jiangnan City.
On both sides of the street are rows of simple storefronts, and there are not many things on display, which is completely different from the old-time commercial street that Lu Heng has read in books.
However, if you go to the store to inquire, you will find that the other party sells far more things than they put out.
So you can't find what you need just by looking at it, you have to take the initiative to ask.
After walking for a while, Lu Heng finally chose a store.
Judging from the things displayed in this store, there may be something you want.
"Do you have a book here?"
Lu Heng walked to the shop owner's side and asked in a low voice, pretending to be very casual.
When the boss heard this, he immediately showed a knowing smile, glanced at the knife in Lu Heng's hand, and said in a low voice, "I have something more powerful, I can't help it, I can't help it, do you want to introduce it to you? ?"
"I want a book, do you have it?" Lu Heng was unmoved.
The shop owner was not angry when he heard the words, but he still said cheerfully: "Of course, you can tell me which flavor you like first."
"Do you have any information about monsters?"
Lu Heng asked.
Hearing this, the shop owner was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded: "Oh, the young man has quite a strong taste at a young age, and he has a lot of experience, right?"
Lu Heng was speechless for a while. After looking left and right, he lowered his voice and said, "What I want is the textbook from the university. It is specialized in the kind of information such as the habits of monsters. Do you understand?"
"Ah?" The shop owner was immediately puzzled and looked at Lu Heng with a puzzled expression.
Isn't this person a student of Wuhan University?
If so, why did you come here to buy college textbooks?
"Whether there is any, tell me quickly." Lu Heng urged.
The shop owner had no choice but to explain in a low voice: "Everyone who can use those books has a copy, and those who don't need them won't even think about getting them. There's no sales at all."
"I see."
Lu Heng turned around and left.
Seeing this, the shop owner hurriedly said, "Next time you have a need, remember to come to me, I have all kinds of tastes."
Walking out of the store, Lu Heng continued to shuttle among the pedestrians, looking for the next store that might have books for sale.
But after this experience, he actually had no hope in his heart.
Because the shop owner just said very clearly that there are ways for those who need it to get those materials, and those who don't need it have absolutely no interest in such books.
If there is no sales, naturally no one will do this kind of business.
After all, it is not a small risk to speculate to engage in private transactions.
'Perhaps, I can ask a few shops that sell monster meat. ’
Lu Heng thought of an idea.
As soon as he turned his head, he happened to see some monster meat in a shop across the street, and strode over.
When the butcher shop owner saw Lu Heng coming with a knife, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
This is a real customer, no better than those idlers who only ask and don't buy.
The owner of the butcher shop estimated that Lu Heng would have to buy ten and eight catties of meat to eat.
After all, a martial arts student like this with a knife has some way to get all kinds of hard currency, so it's not trivial to exchange some fresh monster meat.
"Handsome guy, what kind of meat do you want?"
The butcher shop owner asked with a smile.
Lu Heng glanced at the meat on the shelf, and then asked, "In the monster meat you sell, which monster is the most powerful and the most difficult to kill?"
"Huh?" The butcher shop owner's expression condensed.
He never expected Lu Heng to ask such a question anyway.
"Handsome guy, I don't really understand that. After all, I'm just a seller."
"But if you want to ask me which kind of monster meat is the best, and which kind of monster meat is the best tonic, then you'll find the right person."
Hearing this answer, Lu Heng secretly sighed.
However, when he came over, he was already prepared, knowing that there is a high probability that he would not get the answer he wanted, so he was not too disappointed.
"Okay, then you can tell me which kind of monster meat is the best tonic, and by the way, which monster meat can't be eaten, you can say as much as you know. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
Lu Heng wanted to come here, so he simply asked about this knowledge. After all, this knowledge is quite useful.
"Good!"
The owner of the butcher shop immediately smiled and introduced Lu Heng the knowledge about monster meat.
However, when he finished speaking, he found that Lu Heng was not going to buy meat from him.
He had no choice but to force Lu Heng to go out with a smile, thinking in his heart what he said was wrong, why he couldn't keep such a big customer.
After Lu Heng walked out of the butcher's shop, he went to several other butcher shops to inquire.
As a result, without exception, none of the meat bosses really knew about monsters.
Lu Heng was not surprised by such a result. After all, these butcher shop owners are not warriors, so they wouldn't run out of the city to kill monsters by themselves.
The monster meat they sell is all purchased from warriors, just to make a reselling price difference.
Just like that, in the end, Lu Heng saw that the butcher's shop simply didn't even enter.
Anyway, I couldn't get the result if I asked, but hearing them introduce how delicious the monster meat is, I was very greedy.
Lu Heng really wanted to buy some monster meat to taste, but he was really poor. The only two synthetic food stamps in his pocket could not even buy half a catty of monster meat.
'Forget it, let's go back first. ’
Lu Heng stopped, looked into the distance and prepared to leave.
However, when he looked at it, he saw a familiar figure.
'Isn't that the guy who sold my flower poison ginseng last time? ’
'Damn, this guy almost killed me, I must ask him for an explanation today. ’
'At least let him return the two synthetic food stamps to me. ’
Lu Heng narrowed his eyes and strode forward.
