Hold on, the system and I have never been angry
Chapter 146 Black Market Gathering
At the speed of a fighter jet and using space jumps, it still took Lu Jinzhao most of the day to reach the Luna-906 galaxy.
The vastness of the universe can be seen from this.
Qiansui yawned and looked at the fish jumping in the bucket beside him, the only fish that his host had successfully caught. He was a little greedy. But when he thought of the scene he saw upstream, he felt a little disgusted. After hesitating for a long time, he finally got into Lu Jinzhao's arms and rubbed against him: "Brother Chao, I want to eat cat strips~"
The action of petting the cat stopped. Lu Jinzhao lowered his head and stared at it for half a minute. He put his hands through its front paws and lifted the cat up to his eyes.
Qiansui was a little frightened by his gaze: "What, what's wrong?"
He took out a pet scale from somewhere and put Qiansui on it. The scale showed a weight of 10.2 catties. Lu Jinzhao stared at the number for a long while, "..."
It turns out that people really laugh when they are speechless.
He clicked on the panel to check the cat food inventory, and at a glance he refreshed his understanding of Qiansui's appetite, "You haven't had any cat food strips or cans this month."
“No!” Qiansui felt as if the sky was falling, kicking his four legs in the air, yelling: “Why! How did I offend you!”
"Do you still remember that you are a German pig?" Lu Jinzhao pointed at the number on the scale: "Have you ever seen a 10-pound German curly pig? What's the difference between me and a semi-trailer? If you keep eating, I won't be able to carry you on my shoulders."
"Ah!!!" Qiansui opened his mouth and bit the back of Lu Jinzhao's hand: "Asshole host, you actually created body anxiety for the cat! Listen to what you said, are you talking like a human being?"
"I don't care." Lu Jinchao let it bite him. It didn't hurt anyway. "Start tomorrow and run five kilometers in the morning and evening. I'll run with you. You won't get any snacks until you get back to your normal size."
Qiansui threw a tantrum and said, "You! Are! Not! A! Human!!"
Lu Jinzhao took out the physical book he bought at the Spacetime Trading House, which had been serialized for more than ten years in his previous life but he had never seen the ending, and began to read it. "Protest is invalid."
Because of the fasting incident, Qiansui was so angry that he ignored Lu Jinchao all night. It followed him wherever he turned, with its butt facing him the whole time.
When the domesticated kitten was acting up, Lu Jinchao was not in a hurry. He just read books, cooked, and wrote codes. When he had nothing to do, he would take a cup of homemade milk tea and watch the kitten sulk. From time to time, he would poke its butt until Qiansui's fur stood up and it turned around to bite him, then he would retract his hand in a second, as if he was playing with a childish crocodile biting toy.
When it was dinner time, Lu Jinzhao simply bought a large piece of tomahawk steak, which was fried on both sides until golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. He ate it with relish in front of Qiansui.
Chitose is not hungry, it is just easy to get greedy after eating delicious food. Originally, his saliva was about to flow down, but he realized in a second that this was the bastard host deliberately using the fragrance to attract him, so he didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, but became even angrier.
Soon, the fighter planes arrived at the assembly site. Aircraft of various colors and models filled the entire apron.
The fighter plane that Lu Jinchao was driving was the latest model developed by the Blue Star Empire, which was used exclusively by the military and kept secret. Although others could not tell its origin, they could tell from the appearance of the fighter plane that it was not something that ordinary people could own, especially the wings and the bottom of the fuselage, which were clearly equipped with several cannons that looked quite powerful.
Therefore, few people and aircraft dared to approach.
He parked the fighter plane on the apron and let everyone look at him. He put on a large cloak, put on a half-mask to cover half of his face, walked to the door of the fighter plane, looked back at Chitose who was still angry, and stretched out his arm: "Let's go, go out to the rally."
"Hmph." Qiansui floated over awkwardly and hung on Lu Jinchao's forearm with all four claws. Lu Jinchao raised his hand and placed it on his right shoulder. Qiansui climbed up and continued to hum and ignore him.
Lu Jinchao didn't care, just let it be naughty. Anyway, he would definitely ask him to buy something good when he saw it later, and then he could use it to trick it into losing weight.
Qiansui changed his gaze to one of contempt: "...Have you forgotten that we can understand each other?"
"I haven't forgotten." Lu Jinzhao raised his thin lips under the mask: "I said it on purpose for you to hear."
"...I surrender to you." Qiansui found that he had no way to deal with this servile host, so he had to let him do whatever he wanted. He pinched the flesh on his belly depressedly and said, "Lose weight! I will lose weight! But can't you make me some fat-reducing meals!"
"I don't know how to make fat-reducing meals for cats, so you'd better just exercise and lose weight." Lu Jinzhao opened the cabin door and walked towards the assembly entrance under various gazes from others.
The entrance to the gathering was guarded by several tall non-human security guards, who were armed with weapons and looked ferocious. Chitose was puzzled: "Is this a comic convention? An anonymous black market actually has security guards? What's going on? Do I have to pay an entrance fee? Or are you not allowed in without an invitation?"
It actually guessed it right.
The security guards stopped Lu Jinzhao and said that he needed to pay a full entrance fee to enter the venue, which was also a protection fee. If a fight, robbery, or theft occurred at the rally, the organizer would be fully responsible for compensation and accountability.
The tickets are not cheap, but that just goes to show that all the treasures here are real treasures. Ordinary stuff is not enough to make people pay the expensive entrance fee.
Lu Jinzhao paid the fee, got the admission permit, and walked through the electromagnetic barrier. When he stepped into the black market, a heat wave mixed with various strange smells hit him. He saw a bustling crowd of people, these people came from various galaxies, with different appearances and identities.
In the crowded crowd, all kinds of strange creatures shuttled among them, some with ferocious faces, and some exuding strange auras. Shouts and bargaining sounds intertwined together, forming a noisy clamor.
The stall closest to the entrance was filled with ancient rune stones. As the name suggests, the stones were engraved with mysterious symbols and faintly emitted energy fluctuations. The stall owner was an old man with a weathered face and deep eyes, as if he had many secrets. Lu Jinzhao stopped in front of these beautiful stones. He carefully observed the rune stones, secretly speculating on their purpose and value.
Unfortunately, after Qiansui's identification, it was found that those stones were energy stones produced in a certain tribe's territory, and the runes on them were purely artificial.
Originally, Lu Jinchao wanted to pay for the aesthetic taste because of the good craftsmanship, but the old stall owner asked for an exorbitant price, obviously taking advantage of him.
The man and the cat felt unlucky and turned away.
On the opposite side of the stall were some precious gems. They were colorful, as bright red as flames, as deep blue as the sea, and as bright as the starry sky. Qiansui's eyes lit up when he saw them, and he subconsciously stepped on Lu Jinzhao's shoulder, wanting the host to buy him two to play with.
The stall owner was a shrewd businessman. He kept introducing the precious gems to passers-by, trying to attract more buyers. He noticed that the black cat on the shoulder of the customer in front of him was interested in the gems on his stall. He walked out from behind the stall, rubbing his hands and excitedly said, "Dear customer, which gem do you like? I can introduce it to you!"
"You're still introducing it? I'm afraid you're just making it up." Qiansui was speechless: "I can tell how much it's worth, don't try to cheat us!"
Lu Jinzhao pointed his slender fingers wrapped in bandages at the orange gem in the corner of the stall: "This."
The stall owner immediately picked up the small velvet plate of the gem and introduced it enthusiastically: "You have good taste, customer! This is Molten Gold Sunset Orange. It was collected from the distant T8723 galaxy and came here across half the universe. You see, its color is like the gorgeous afterglow of the sunset, so beautiful. It is a great gift or collection! It is said that it also has mysterious power and can bring good luck and courage to the wearer!"
As the stall owner spoke, he handed the gem to Lu Jinchao so that he could observe it more carefully. Lu Jinchao's eyes fell on the gem. The gem sparkled under the light and was indeed very beautiful.
At this moment, Qiansui suddenly stretched out his claws and gently touched the gemstone, which seemed to flash with a strange light. The stall owner saw this scene, his eyes lit up, and he promoted it more vigorously: "Look, even your pet is interested in this gemstone! It is a perfect match for you!"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Jinzhao asked, "How much?"
Seeing that his host had the desire to buy, Qiansui quickly warned: "The maximum is three million, and it's not worth it if it exceeds that."
The stall owner stretched out his fingers and counted, and it was cheaper than expected. Lu Jinchao nodded slightly, as if considering whether to buy it.
Seeing this, the stall owner quickly said, "Customer, I can give you some more discounts. This is a rare treasure! Don't miss it!"
Lu Jinzhao picked up the gem and examined it carefully, then picked up another azure gem that Qiansui valued at six million: "Including this one, the total is six hundred."
The stall owner obviously hesitated: "This..."
“Forget it.” Lu Jinzhao pretended to put it back where it was.
"Okay, okay." The stall owner raised his wrist: "Six million is six million, just consider it a good start. Please transfer it to this account."
Lu Jinchao paid the money and tapped Qiansui's nose: "It matches the color of your eyes. I'll make it into a necklace for you later."
"Thank you, brother Chao, mua! (*╯3╰)" Qiansui rubbed Lu Jinzhao's shoulder affectionately to express his love for the gem and his host.
Lu Jinzhao put the gem in his arms and continued to walk around the market, looking for the next treasure that would interest him.
Continuing forward, Lu Jinchao saw weapons on display at the stall in front of him. These weapons were not rare, and their shapes were also very common, except that some blades were engraved with runes, and some hilts were inlaid with gems. He had seen at least 8,000 of them in movies, TV shows, and comics.
Turn around and continue shopping.
In a corner, Lu Jinchao found a stall full of books. Their covers were old and the pages were yellowed. They seemed to be rare ancient books. The stall owner was concentrating on flipping through one of the books and didn't notice his arrival at all.
Lu Jinzhao walked closer and found that these books were almost all about the origin of the universe, the exploration of mysterious powers, and records of ancient civilizations.
Somewhat interested, but not his type.
They came to a stall full of plants. The plants were of various shapes, and one of them caught Lu Jinchao's attention. Its leaves were colorful, but its flowers were black. The stall owner was a kind old man. He introduced the efficacy and uses of this plant to Lu Jinchao. He spoke well and was obviously a senior scholar with extensive knowledge in the plant world.
Lu Jinzhao finally bought the beautiful flower, and it will never wither if it is placed in the system space.
After wandering around the black market, Lu Jinzhao also saw many other strange treasures. There was a mysterious box that was said to be able to fulfill wishes, but Qiansui identified it as purely psychological, a gimmick, and a money-making trick; there was a strange device that was said to be able to travel through time and space, but Qiansui rejected it outright, saying that such things that could affect the timeline of the small world were all control props and could not be circulated in the small world; there was a strange item that was said to be able to control the mind, and Lu Jinzhao took a look and found that it was an old acquaintance, the fourth eye of the Phantom Eye Clan.
Remembering that he had done something wrong with it before, he bought it and kept it for use against his enemies later.
He kept moving between the stalls, admiring the uniqueness of each product. Although there were many scammers, there were even more genuine treasures.
As time went by, Lu Jinzhao gradually went deeper into the center of the fair, where the stalls were denser and the treasures were more precious.
In front of a huge stall, Lu Jinzhao saw a treasure that made his heart beat fast.
A three-purpose combat mecha that can support aircraft mode, humanoid mode, and armor mode.
The stall owner played mysterious, wearing a black robe and a mask on his face, making it impossible to see his face clearly. The two men were dressed very similarly, and at first glance, one would think the stall owner was Lu Jinchao's clone.
After a lot of bargaining between the two, the stall owner refused to give in no matter what. The price was beyond Lu Jinchao's expectations. He liked it but didn't want to spend a lot of money, so he cheated and let Qiansui scan and analyze the structure of the mecha, and then he went back to the system space to DIY it himself.
There was a smaller booth next to it. There were some exquisite jewelry on display, and what caught Lu Jinzhao's attention the most was an earring. The earring was inlaid with a sky blue gem, which was emitting a dazzling light, as if telling of its preciousness.
The stall owner was a beautiful woman. She smiled and introduced the characteristics and value of the earring to Lu Jinzhao: "This earring was originally designed as a single piece, not a pair. It uses the symbol of wisdom and courage--"
Lu Jinzhao raised his hand to interrupt her: "No need to introduce, just wrap it up."
Originally, he was not such an impolite person, but the red light flashing on the light brain indicated that there was urgent information. He was worried that something big had happened, so he interrupted the stall owner.
After paying for the earrings, Lu Jinzhao walked to a secluded place and opened the message bar to check.
It was sent by Yiyi.
The Martyrs' Cemetery has been initially built, and the remains of heroes that were originally temporarily stored in the memorial museum can be moved to the cemetery for burial.
Yi Yi said that Erbaiyi had no body, so he took some of his clothes from Yu Mo in advance, and asked the mermaids for some of his used things, put them in the coffin, and buried them all underneath.
The cemetery will be completed in three days, and a large-scale martyr burial ceremony will be held. As the new military chief, Lu Jinchao needs to attend as usual. That's why she sent him a message in advance to avoid being unable to make it.
There are still three days left, no rush. Lu Jinzhao replied to Yiyi, saying that he would definitely arrive on time.
After sending the message, he turned around and continued to walk around the fair, thinking of bringing back some interesting things for the children as souvenirs.
