Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections

"Here we are, this is the black market."

Arriving at a grocery store at the end of the road, Kirou took Lin Yi inside.

The furnishings in the store are a bit messy, with all kinds of strange and weird items piled up together.

When the grocery store owner saw Kirou, a smile immediately appeared on his face. It was obvious that the two of them were very familiar with each other.

"Kiluou, you are a rare visitor! Are you coming here this time to buy something or to accept a mission?"

"Do you have a list of relics recently?" Kiruo asked straight to the point.

"List of relics? Are you going into the depths of the Abyss Abyss?" The grocery store owner immediately sat up straight after hearing Kirou's question.

"No, this guy wants it. If you have any good things, take them out. Don't hide them." Kirou knocked on the table. The meaning in his words was very obvious: If you have any good things, take them out. Behind my back The Lord is not short of money.

"Okay, Anthony and his team just came back from the fourth level of the Cup of Giants two days ago. It is said that they found a buried cave, and there are really a lot of good things in it. But the price is a bit expensive. Too expensive.”

As he said that, the owner of the grocery store threw out a tattered notebook and motioned to Lin Yi to read it by himself.

Lin Yi reached out and took the notebook, only to see that the cover of the notebook had been worn out and there were still some stains on the edges.

Opening the notebook, there is a photo of the relic attached to each page. Although the photo is a bit blurry, the appearance of the relic can still be roughly seen.

Below the photo, there are descriptions about the relics. However, not all relics have descriptions, and there are still many relics whose functions are marked "to be determined."

After all, various relics are produced in the Abyss Abyss at all times.

For these relics, except for scientific research madmen like Liming Qing who can quickly learn the effects of the relics, the effects of most of the relics are slowly discovered through the passage of time.

For example, the [Life-Extending Wine (Dipsy Aeon)], no one regarded this thing as a special-level relic back then, it was just designated as a fourth-level relic.

It was not until later that people discovered that the lifespan of those who drank the wine was extended, that the wine was turned into a special relic.

Therefore, buying these relics with unknown effects on the black market can also be equivalent to a kind of gambling.

If you purchase a particularly powerful weapon, it will naturally be even more powerful for your cave exploration experience.

However, cave explorers also have their own set of identification methods. Most of the relics that can be thrown here are considered useless relics, so it is naturally not that easy to pick them up.

After browsing for a few minutes, Lin Yi finally found a usable relic.

A first-level relic [Thousand Man Wedge].

[Thousand People's Wedge] is almost as long as a nail. If you don't nail it into your arm, most people really won't know how to use it.

In addition, Orson deliberately blocked the information related to "Thousand People's Wedge", so most cave explorers really don't know the news about "Thousand People's Wedge".

"How much does this cost?" Lin Yi opened his notebook and pointed to the [Thousand People Wedge] on it towards the grocery store owner.

"Well, there are two ways to buy it. One is if you know the effect of this relic, you can tell me how to use it. In return, I can give the relic to you for free. The other is to buy it normally."

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard what the grocery store owner said.

No wonder this boss can do this business on such a large scale. It is true that ordinary people cannot compare to such a large scale.

"The first option is to give me the thing and I will tell you how to use it."

The boss showed a smile after hearing Lin Yi's words. For cave explorers, knowledge is power. Relics are gone when they are gone, but knowledge can be passed down forever.

Once you encounter the same relic again in the future, it will save a lot of trouble.

The grocery store owner nodded slightly, then turned and walked into the back room.

Time passed by, and after about a few minutes, the boss slowly walked out with an ancient wooden box in his hand and placed it in front of Lin Yi.

"Let's inspect the goods."

As the grocery store owner spoke, he opened the box and displayed the items inside in front of Lin Yi.

Introduction: This nail has a strange smell. Are you sure you want to insert it into your body?

"Yes, this is it."

Lin Yi picked it up and looked at it for a while, then inserted the thing into his arm. In an instant, a strong tingling sensation hit him, as if countless fine needles were piercing his skin at the same time.

The next moment, Lin Yi felt a trace of the abyssal power in [Thousand Man Wedge] integrated into his body. Before this abyssal power had time to struggle, it was instantly swallowed up by the original abyssal power in Lin Yi's body.

Lin Yi pulled out the [Thousand Man Wedge] with a little disappointment. It seemed that this equipment would not have any effect on Lin Yi.

"Why, the effect is not right?" The grocery store owner saw Lin Yi's disappointed expression and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He thought there was something wrong with the relic.

"No problem, it's my own problem." Lin Yi shook his head slightly and explained, "This relic is called [Thousand Man Wedge]. There is no name of this relic in the relic list. The reason is that once it is produced in the abyss, it will be bought by [Unmovable Lord] Osen. I advise you not to make a big fuss about it later, otherwise be careful that others will come to your door."

After hearing the name of [Unmovable Lord] Osen, the grocery store owner immediately shuddered, and then said that he would never tell this matter. Others don't know the horror of the white flute, but he knows the horror of the white flute the most.

The people of Dawn Lord Porto have also appeared in the slums, so the grocery store owner naturally knows what kind of crazy people the holders of the white flute are.

"How to use it?"

"It's very simple. You can insert this thing into any part of the body. But I recommend inserting it into the arm, which is relatively safe and convenient.

The effect is also very intuitive, and it can allow the user to gain the power of a thousand people. Of course, this thing is just a rough concept, and the specific situation is different for everyone."

After hearing Lin Yi's explanation, the grocery store owner nodded thoughtfully, and then took out a small notebook and recorded everything Lin Yi said on it.

Since this relic is related to Bai Di, the grocery store owner is not going to sell the information of this relic on the black market.

After all, he hasn't lived enough and doesn't want to be blocked by Orson.

"Very good, from now on, [Thousand Man Wedge] belongs to you." Lin Yi was slightly startled, obviously he didn't expect the grocery store owner to be so straightforward.

The grocery store owner keeps his word, which is why he can do such a big business.

You know, there were many people doing the same business as him in the black market before.

Unfortunately, the others either got greedy and were killed by others, or ran away with the money. After decades, he is the only one who is still standing here.

Everyone is more willing to come to him to sell relics, after all, his credit is here.

"Are there any other items you like?"

"Let me take a look."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, the boss did not urge him. This time, he was able to obtain the information of [Thousand Man Wedge], which was not a loss for the boss.

But unfortunately, most of the remaining relics are useless waste.

After all, cave explorers are not fools. After careful selection, the probability of picking up leaks is almost very low.

[Thousand Man Wedge] is thrown into the black market because the triggering conditions are very harsh.

"Is there any information about the interior of the Abyss Abyss? The more detailed the better."

"There are three types. One is the official information of the Cave Explorers Association, which is free. It mainly contains some basic and common information, which is helpful for cave explorers who are new to the Abyss Abyss.

The second type is the basic information pieced together by various cave explorers. Some of it is true and some is false, but most of it is useful. The price is 100 gold coins. The last type is the information from Lord Dawn Podordo, which covers maps from the first to the fifth layers of the abyss and the approximate distribution and information of abyss creatures, but the price is more expensive, 1,000 gold coins.

"The last one." After saying that, Lin Yi took out ten small bags from his personal space, and each small bag contained 100 gold coins.

The boss picked up one of the small bags, weighed it in his palm, and had a rough idea in his mind.

"Wait, I don't have this thing here either. "

After saying that, the boss took out a cage with a carrier pigeon from under the counter of the grocery store. Lin Yi noticed that there was a special device tied to the bottom of the pigeon's feet.

The boss then released the pigeon, which flapped its wings and flew into the sky, then flew straight to the north.

"Wait a minute, Liming Qing's people will come over and deliver what you want."

Then, the boss motioned Lin Yi to sit down and rest for a while.

He skillfully served Lin Yi and Jiluo a cake and tea made from the petals of the thousand-year-old incense.

Lin Yi spent a lot of money this time, so the boss would not be stingy on these things.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Yi suddenly caught a steady and powerful sound of footsteps, which came from far away and slowly approached the store door.

Jiluo also noticed this and looked at the door.

The next second, a man wearing a gray-white coat and a helmet emitting a purple glow appeared in front of the three.

For most residents of Orson, this kind of dress is not unfamiliar - it is the symbol of the Prayer Hand Army, which belongs to Lord Dawn, Podoldo.

Prayer Hand walked straight to the counter and took out a seemingly ordinary notebook from his pocket. At the same time, he stretched out his palm to the boss standing behind the counter, signaling him to hand over the money.

The boss took out nine small bags from under the counter and handed them to Prayer Hand. Prayer Hand took the bag, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned around and left the grocery store.

As for why Lord Dawn was involved in the sale of abyss intelligence, the logic behind it is actually not complicated.

Scientific research, especially in high-risk, high-investment fields such as abyss exploration, consumes an astonishing amount of money - from precious materials to professional personnel, to continuous energy supply, each of which is a huge expense.

As an authority in the field of abyss exploration, Li Mingqing naturally knows this.

Therefore, in order to make up for the lack of scientific research funds, he chose to raise funds for himself through some "small businesses", and selling abyss intelligence is undoubtedly a safe and efficient way.

"Are you going to the depths of the Abyss Abyss?"

"Well, but not for the time being."

Jiluo heard Lin Yi's reply and did not continue to ask.

When the two were about to return to Belchero Orphanage, Lin Yi bought ten kilograms of candy and some snacks in a store nearby.

Don't say, the price of these candies is really not cheap. Such a small amount of things actually cost Lin Yi two gold coins.

Back at the orphanage, Lin Yi was like a Santa Claus, distributing the candies in his hand to every child one by one.

Tonight is undoubtedly a special night for the children. They first enjoyed a sumptuous meal, and before going to bed, they even had candy as dessert. Such a life is as beautiful as a fairy tale from a dream for the children.

Even Riko, who always thinks about the abyss and talks about Abyss every three sentences, put aside her obsession with the abyss tonight. She sat with Nado and other friends and excitedly talked about their dreams for the future.

In the dead of night, Lin Yi lay on the bed, enjoying this rare tranquility and peace.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and gently brushed over the eaves of the Belchero Orphanage, the staff of the Cave Exploration Guild arrived on time. They not only delivered the rewards that Riko and Nado received from selling the relics yesterday, but also told Lin Yi to go to the Cave Exploration Guild as soon as possible for level determination.

Since Bell Alger reported Lin Yi's extraordinary ability to the Cave Exploration Guild yesterday, the guild has attached great importance to it.

The appearance of every Black Flute cave explorer is an encouraging thing for the entire cave exploration community.

So early this morning, the Cave Exploration Guild sent someone to invite Lin Yi.

Lin Yi had a simple breakfast and then went to the Cave Exploration Guild.

As for Li Ke and the others, today is their cave-going day, so they can't follow Lin Yi to the Cave Exploration Guild.

After saying goodbye to Li Ke, Lin Yi followed the previous road to the Cave Exploration Guild.

Compared with yesterday, the Cave Exploration Guild today seemed a little quieter, and the flow of people was obviously reduced.

After seeing Lin Yi enter the door, Alyssa led Lin Yi through the front hall of the guild and came to a private area in the backyard.

There, several high-level members of the Cave Exploration Guild had been waiting for a long time.

"Is this the person who defeated Bell Alger? You can't judge a person by his appearance." A young man with black hair said after seeing Lin Yi.

"Hello, my name is Simredo, and I am a wild cave explorer under Lord Orson. Lord Orson sent me here after the cave exploration guild sent a message yesterday." Simredo nodded slightly, his tone respectful but confident.

Hearing the name Simredo, Lin Yi quickly matched the middle-aged man in front of him with a certain person in the Orson surveillance base in his memory.

At this time, most of the black flute cave explorers are deep in the abyss, and the number of black flutes on the ground is very few.

Those who can become black flutes are all explorers who have an almost fanatical love for cave exploration.

Therefore, the cave exploration guild had to turn to Lord Orson for help in the face of a shortage of manpower, hoping that she could lend a hand.

Fortunately, Orson's forward base is located on the second floor of the abyss, not too far from the ground. Simredo arrived at the town of Os in just three or four hours.

…

"Let's start?" Simredo's voice was crisp and clear, revealing his practical style.

Seeing Lin Yi nod, Simredo pulled out a machete from his waist.

This machete is not an ordinary weapon made in the town of Oss, but a relic he found in the Abyss Abyss. Its effect is simple and crude. Once inserted into the ground, it can cause a ground explosion within a range of ten meters in front.

Although Simredo is not clear about the specific principle of this machete, its sharpness is unquestionable.

Even the abyss creatures in the Giant Cup of the fourth layer of the abyss are vulnerable to this machete, and often a single strike can solve the battle.

Therefore, Simredo regarded this machete as his personal weapon.

"Come on."

Faced with Simredo's invitation to fight, Lin Yi did not take out the black and white rose.

With his current strength, he is able to compete with Shimledo in close combat alone, and even gain the upper hand. (End of this chapter)
