May you be happy and prosperous

Nirvana Forest is not too far from City G where Lu Twelve and the others are located. It only takes about two and a half hours to take the maglev light rail. In Saier's words, it is only the distance from the city to the old forest in the forest—of course, There are no real forests these days. Basically, even the plants planted on the streets of the city are artificially cultivated, and when you walk in, you will find that they are not real plants at all, but very well-shaped. Like food, and an air purifier that can replace plants for photosynthesis.

The next day, Lu Twelve deposited the gold coins in the bank, took a bank card, and boarded the maglev light rail to the Nirvana Forest with Saier—contrary to the subway on the earth 500 years ago, this kind of train in the future The transportation tracks that occupy the main transportation functions are built in a criss-cross pattern at the height of the city, and some of them even pass directly over the bustling city.

The maximum speed of the maglev light rail can reach [-] kilometers per hour, so the so-called "very close" that Purcell said is actually not close at all. In the past, the distance from G City to Nirvana Forest was enough to compare with any western remote city in China. The distance to the capital is on a par.

According to unreliable information from Sale, the Nirvana Forest Phantom Beast Black Market opens at 02:30 pm every day and closes at 02:30 pm. If you go early, only some retailers stay there, and it is difficult to find good goods. Most of them Buyers and sellers will arrive at the black market at around [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and the busiest time of the black market is around three o’clock every day—so, Lu Twelve checked the timetable of the light rail, and finally set a timetable for twelve o’clock at noon. Tickets, if the journey goes well, they will arrive at Nirvana Forest on time at about [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

On Lu Twelve's ordinary maglev light rail, it seems that there are people going to Nirvana Forest.

Because as soon as he got in the car and sat down, he saw a man who raised a phantom beast, holding a small cat in his arms that seemed to be taking a nap. Did the phantom beast grow any metal parts? , but the whole body is covered with a layer of khaki cat fur, and the ears are very big. Looking at it from a distance, it is easy to be mistaken for a Chinese pastoral cat... But when Lu Twelve passed by it , it seemed to feel something, opened a smoke and gave him a sideways glance. It was at this time that Lu Twelve knew that it was indeed a phantom beast, because its eyes were all white, and there was only a blue circle inside. colored apertures as pupils...

After glancing at Lu Twelve, it gave a soft "meow", turned around again, buried its head in its master's clothes, and continued to sleep.

Lu Twelve took Saier to find their location according to the number written on the ticket. Along the way, he also saw a few people who were reading books about the study of Eudemons. In addition, he also found some people who looked like Experts in the field of "gambling eggs", because these people have a magnifying glass hanging on their chests and carry a tattered suitcase, looking very professional...

Purcell has probably never been to the Nirvana Forest, and after finally sitting down, he looked around for a while, retracted his head, lowered his voice and said mysteriously to the black-haired young man beside him: "It's terrible, it's terrible!" , you can see that one and two of them look very professional and well-equipped, but the two of us are empty-handed, and we are novices at first glance!"

Lu Twelve glanced at him sideways: "...What's wrong with Xiaobai?"

Purcell: "I'll write you a sign and you can hold it in front of your chest later: People are stupid and rich in money, come and trick me."

Lu Twelve: "Get lost."

Purcell: "You either asked me 'what's wrong with Xiaobai', or 'this is it'."

Lu Twelve: "..."

Lu Twelve said that although they are really Xiaobai, it doesn't matter, they can't watch Eudemons, and they always pretend to be forced, right? The central idea of ​​"Guide to Pretending to Be Forceful" is: Don't talk too much, too many mistakes; Congratulations, you made it.

Lu Twelve and the others got off the maglev light rail at exactly 02:30 in the afternoon, and the black market had just opened. At this time, most of the sellers were already waiting for their opening...Sierda had a sullen face from the moment he got off the bus, Holding up the map to find the way to the black market, Lu Twelve calmly took the map away from his hand and stuffed it into the trash can. With his head held high, he walked along the direction of the flow of people—as expected, he walked in the middle of the crowd. After walking for about three and ten minutes, they arrived at the gate of the black market.

At first glance, the black market in Nirvana Forest actually looks like a very formal market.

A huge wooden door has been completely opened at this time. There are not walls on both sides of the wooden door, but two huge water tanks. The water in the water tanks is already very muddy, and the walls of the water tanks are covered with moss - it is real Moss, at first glance, can only vaguely see a few rockeries and broken logs that have been soaked for an unknown how long in the water tank, and just when Lu Twelve thought that there was nothing in it, he walked in front of it calmly. After a while, suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a pale face appearing behind the water tank, and the close distance startled him, when he suddenly turned his head to look into the water tank, only I had time to see a huge koi-like tail sweeping past, rolling up countless dead leaves and scales deposited on the bottom of the water, and on the glass tank, there was only a palm print that looked like a pussy animal.

"The Wall of Aquarium Phantom Beasts," Saier said in a low voice next to the black-haired young man, "I heard that it is an Aquarium Phantom Beast raised by the owner who founded the black market."

Lu Twelve nodded slightly and did not speak. At this moment, they had already arrived at the main entrance of the black market, and they could hear all kinds of phantom beast calls, cries of sales, or bargaining sounds from a distance... …

Standing outside the gate of the black market was a peddler who was selling what looked like nutritional supplements. At the moment, he was holding a purple solution in a test tube in his hand and selling it to everyone who passed by him: "Phantom beast nutritional supplements, help Your phantom beast grows metal parts and weapons at the fastest speed - more than 3000 phantom beast owners around the world have used our company's products to achieve a waste counterattack—"

Opposite him is a peddler who is selling "Phantom Beast Ointment" that looks weird: "Start applying Phantom Beast Eggs, completely change your Phantom Beast Egg genes, it is not a dream for an Aquarium Phantom Beast to become a Flying Phantom Beast , Spend the least amount of money to cultivate the best Eudemons! ——Brother, would you like a portion of Eudemons Ointment? Now we are doing a promotional activity, and one portion only costs [-] gold coins, which is a good deal.”

In addition to the above two, there are also sellers of "Phantom Beast Egg Perspective Instrument", "Phantom Beast Growth Aid", "Phantom Beast Elixir Cure All Diseases", "Phantom Beast Growth Booster"... …

In short, the black market is really a black market, and there will never be a shortage of all kinds of imaginative... liars.

Lu Twelve walked all the way inside, and he also saw some clothes for young phantom beasts. The pet clothes from hundreds of years ago were no different, but these clothes were probably based on the idea of ​​"turning phantom beasts into Transformers". Theme Aesthetics and Thought.

Ox.

Lu Twelve shook his head and left calmly.

After walking a few more steps, the black-haired young man also saw the Huanju Hospital—but to be precise, it was not a Huanthou Hospital, because it was a fat man who looked like a barefoot fairy sitting in a shed. He was just a young man, and above his head, there was a crooked handwritten sign: Cure for all diseases.

fraud.

Lu Twelve shook his head, calm and drifting away.

The area further to the center sells the rations of the eight classics phantom beasts, which are different from the nutrient solutions of the three non-products sold at the door. The food rations are sold separately, and the nutrient solution for juvenile phantom beasts and adult phantom beasts is also different - Lu Twelve saw that there are many phantom beast owners choosing in this kind of store, and some even personally feed phantom beasts Bring them and let them pick their favorite flavors from the shelves.

Through the window, Lu Twelve looked at a little leopard with long fangs, holding the canned meat on the shelf and refusing to let go, only thought it was quite cute.

Poor his master is probably a poor ghost, who is trying to get his Eudemons to put down the expensive snacks with a face full of helplessness at the moment.

Walking all the way, after passing the food area, the black-haired young man finally came to the area dedicated to selling Eudemons eggs.

Compared with the food area, which seems to be contracted by some serious businessmen, the sales area of ​​Eudemons Eggs is much more messy - a wooden box and a small broken bench, whichever one you see, it is considered a stall, with various All kinds of phantom beast eggs are piled up in wooden boxes in a mess, and the sellers who are willing to separate them according to the appearance of the eggs, the sea, the land and the air, are already quite considerate sellers... There are even some sellers who can't find a place to set up a stall They just walked around selling eggs with their hands in their hands, just like selling box lunches.

Lu Twelve looked around and found that the phantom beast eggs sold outside were relatively cheap. Generally, the price of flying phantom beasts was as low as [-] gold coins, and the average price of land fighting phantom beasts was around [-] gold coins. Because it is mostly used for viewing, it is cheaper, but because Lu Twelve does not intend to raise unprofitable phantom beasts, so he did not ask for the price...

As a matter of fact, Lu Twelve did not stop in front of these stalls to ask more questions, because he knew that the reason why these phantom beast eggs are large in quantity and cheap is because they are fifth or even sixth generation phantom beasts. That is to say, strictly speaking, they are the great-great-great-great-grandchildren of the batch of phantom beasts that were first dug out from the ruins of the war, because humans use some phantom beasts for frequent cultivation, which leads to the wildness in their blood. And combat performance has become much worse--among the fifteen awakened phantom beasts, including the most famous first awakened phantom beast "Huansheng", the first generation phantom beasts occupy a total of eight. Five of them are second-generation Eudemons, and two are third-generation Eudemons.

The phantom beast that Lu Twelve wanted to acquire should at least be the third generation phantom beast.

And this kind of phantom beasts are all sold in the deeper parts of the black market, and the prices are relatively high.

It is said that in the black market, there was an Eudemons egg of the first generation of Eudemons, and that Eudemons egg was finally sold at a sky-high price, and the owner of that Eudemons is still unknown, it is very likely that he has been active in various On the battlefield of the Great Martial Arts Competition.

Lu Twelve walked around and looked around, not in a hurry. Occasionally, he saw a third-generation phantom beast egg for sale, so he just stopped to look at it, watched other buyers bargaining with the seller, and used those buyers to bargain. After writing down his excuses and nouns, he turned around and left, in short, he was extremely calm, as if he was taking a walk.

On the contrary, Sale seemed quite uneasy.

From the moment he saw the first four-generation Eudemons egg, he began to applaud.

Calling all the way to the place where the eggs of the third generation of Eudemons are concentrated and sold, there are only two words left in his lines - "Wow" and "Ah".

It is this man who really puts the "I am Xiaobai" sign on his chest.

Lu Twelve disliked his pig teammate, so he stuffed a few gold coins and sent him to play in the mud. He wandered around calmly, followed the crowd and came to the area with the highest discipline in selling Eudemons eggs on the black market——

In this area, almost all the people with magnifying glasses and toolboxes that he saw on the maglev light rail were concentrated. At the moment, they are standing in twos and threes in front of different booths, carefully holding a phantom Beast eggs, aim at the direction of the sun, use a magnifying glass, use a detector, and study the phantom beast eggs in your hands...

It's like an antique market in human society.

And here is the paradise for gold diggers of Eudemons.

Standing where he was, for some reason, Lu Twelve suddenly felt a little parched and his heart beat faster—this reaction was as if he was not going to buy phantom beast eggs, but going on a blind date.

Yes.

This feeling is very strong.

It was as if somewhere in the dark, the phantom beast he was destined for was already waiting for him in a certain corner——

... an egg.

That's impossible, what the hell is "predestined".

Sure enough, it's getting old, it's easy to think too much?

The black-haired young man scratched his head while thinking, and walked towards the crowd.
