Idle game leads to another world

The strict ban on smoking is a bit difficult for Dui and Lieutenant Cao Wei. They didn't like smoking much, but after joining the war, they urgently needed something to relax their nerves.

As a result, they have become heavy smokers now.

However, the Emerald Light is not completely non-smoking, but smoking must be done in designated smoking areas, otherwise, if you don't change your ways, you will end up in a miserable situation.

After giving a few instructions, Alyssa and the others boarded the magnetic rail tram.

Although the style is very different from that of ordinary space stations, the infrastructure is not much different. Everything is there, but it is hidden in the plants and is not so conspicuous.

Alyssa came to the Emerald Light, of course, she couldn't go directly to the boss of the space station, which side are you on.

She needed to find out in the dark, and she also needed to meet with the local spies of the Water Spinning Federation to ask their opinions.

So the destination of the magnetic rail tram is the meeting place.

Everyone got off the bus and walked out of the station quickly. Looking up, they could see a huge oak tree that was almost 20 stories high sticking out in their field of vision, as huge as their eyelids.

Several neat streets could be seen under the big oak tree, and of course, the greenery was amazing.

The big oak tree was actually a hotel, but the big tree gradually covered up the hotel, and its main body could not be seen at all.

This area was where foreign merchants gathered, and it could be regarded as the commercial district of the Emerald Light Space Station.

Although the Emerald Light had strict control over personal force, and even smoking was strictly managed, it did not mean that they were good people.

In this commercial district, you can see many shops opened by black merchants, some of whom were local, and some were outsiders who did not have time to escape because of the war.

These days, no matter what business you do, you need a license, but not all businesses will be issued a license.

If you simply open a small store, it is of course easy to apply for a license, but if what you sell is not so legal, or requires qualification review, and you cannot pass the review, then you can only operate without a license.

Black traders are unlicensed operators.

Most of the things they sell are basically smuggled goods, controlled goods, and even contraband.

For example, as soon as the four people walked into the street, they saw a store at the door selling slaves...

A legitimate country or a legitimate space station would definitely not allow it, but the space station has autonomy, and the Emerald Light said it is willing, so there is really no way to control it.

Black traders can bring great benefits to the space station, and they are also one of the few guys who dare to sail when the two countries are at war. The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish is.

In addition to black traders, there are also some shops run by recyclers in the local area.

The composition of recyclers is too complicated. They are a collection of marginal people such as black traders + pirates + interstellar adventurers + rag pickers. The difference from most marginal people is that recyclers are pirates with privateering licenses.

The things they sell are also illegal, but they have licenses, and having a license means it is legal.

So you can see everything on this street, and some people even put field guns at the door as a sign to attract customers.

Alyssa was not just passing by when she crossed the street. She was thinking about whether to buy something.

After all, the reason for the Swan's entry into the port was shopping. It was indeed a bit strange to just pass by here without looking at anything.

Besides, this operation was clearly a military action. As long as it was not too excessive, the military would reimburse the purchase.

Just as she was thinking about whether to buy some natural foods or smuggled liquor to add to the meals of the crew on the ship, Li Chengxi suddenly said:

"I want that."

"Huh?"

"Cannons."

Li Chengxi had always wanted to get a few cannons for Viola, but she never had the chance.

Asked the Ninth Department for a few 155s, the Ninth Department said you were dreaming.

Asked Alyssa for a few four-legged turrets, Alyssa said, I can't apply for them.

The Ninth Department couldn't make the decision, and Alyssa couldn't apply to the quartermaster with a suitable reason. Now that she saw a black marketeer selling arms, she had to go shopping.

Alyssa didn't object. A few cannons didn't cost much, but she had to pay for it. It would be difficult to report it to the military afterwards, and there was no way to explain why the weapons that should have been in the warehouse disappeared.

Since no one came to Emerald Light, there were of course few customers. Alyssa took people into the store to take a look. The clerk immediately received them with 200% enthusiasm and said that we were having a big opening sale, with 30% off on all goods.

What big opening sale? It's obvious that they just want to get rid of the things and run away with the money. After all, it's not a safe place on the border between the two countries.

Alyssa knew this very well, so she turned on the picky mode.

The weapons that black traders can get are basically second-hand. Unless they have a lot of connections, it's unlikely that they can get new products.

But second-hand goods don't matter. As long as they can be used, they are cheaper.

But Alyssa used the second-hand goods as an excuse to bargain hard, saying that the rifling of your gun was almost worn out, and that your four-legged walking turret didn’t have enough oil, so you had to give me a set of maintenance equipment.

In short, it was a crazy bargaining.

Now the buyer is the boss, and there is no need to worry about them not selling.

Li Chengxi only needs to be responsible for "I want this" and "I want that", and Alyssa will take care of the rest.

Although I looked at the big guys like the four-legged walking turret, considering the size of my garage, it would be very troublesome even if I disassembled it into parts and gave it to Viola. In the end, I bought 12 122mm shaped charge bomb artillery, 50 60mm mortars, 10 100mm rocket launchers, and supporting maintenance equipment.

I originally wanted to get a few more armored vehicles, preferably tanks, but the black market didn't have that kind of cheap goods, and that thing was too big, so I had to give up.

There are things like rifles, and the quantity is enough, at least a few thousand are a piece of cake.

But the price is a bit too high, higher than the cannon, and the bullet consumption is very large. If there is no perfect supply, the significance is not very obvious.

So in terms of firearms, I just added 20 heavy machine guns and a lot of bullets. I believe that with these heavy weapons, Viola will be much easier in the next attack on the Subia Demon Kingdom.

Finally, I bought nearly 10,000 rounds of various shells in this store, which was done in one stop and emptied the inventory of the black market.

The store owner will be responsible for packing the goods and sending them to the Swan. Alyssa paid a deposit, and the balance will be paid after the goods arrive.

Maybe there have been no customers for a long time. While the price was bargained down, the store owner also gave Alyssa an exquisite golden revolver.

It looks like a revolver, but it is actually a plasma gun. The power is still good, and it is not within the limit of the Emerald Light.

After leaving the arms dealer's store, Alyssa ran to the store selling natural foods.

Alyssa is a good captain and a good boss. She will never treat her crew badly. As long as you work with me, you will be guaranteed to have a good life.

And this part of the expenses can be reimbursed by the military.

After a big purchase, Alyssa led people to the big oak tree. Now it's time to get down to business and meet with the swirling federal agents lurking here.
