Chapter 475: Top Quality Goods
Chapter 475: Top Quality Goods
The so-called human market is naturally a place dedicated to selling people.
Given the level of development of civilization in the real world, although there is harmony on the surface, population trade also exists in secret.
The human market in Black Rock City simply put all of this on the surface.
Selling oneself into slavery is not a rare thing in this city. Some people even want to sell themselves but may not be able to do so.
After all, there is no one to cut kidneys here, and there is no ability to perform organ transplants.
If you are not good-looking or too old to do heavy work, the owner will think it is useless to buy you and may not want you even for free.
Jiang Yao has been in Black Rock City for more than a month.
He might not be able to find out about things that were too secretive, but he already knew the exact location of this city more than ten days ago.
Jiang Yao had just stepped into the dilapidated market covering several acres and surrounded by several-meter-high earthen walls. He had already seen many people sticking straw in their bodies, preparing to sell themselves into slavery.
Some people sell themselves to bury their fathers, some parents sell their children, and some can't make ends meet and want to sell themselves.
Generally speaking, one jade coin was enough to buy a slave or a maid.
Of course, the price of a stronger man or a prettier girl would be much higher.
After wandering around for a while, Jiang Yao found that most of the people who were trying to sell their heads were old, weak, sick and disabled. Among them, Jiang Yao didn't see many who were pleasing to his eye.
After all, the able-bodied laborers in Black Rock City can more or less find some work, and no matter how poor they are, they will not sell themselves into slavery.
There were some little girls in the crowd, but due to lack of nutrition on a daily basis, their bodies were still skinny and they probably hadn't really developed yet.
Even if there was a beauty hiding among them, Jiang Yao was too lazy to take a second look.
He has always liked women with good figures and who are a little mature. He has no interest in cultivation games, nor does he have the leisure time for them.
For that irrelevant person, no matter how miserable or pitiful he is, it was not caused by him, so what does it have to do with him, Jiang Yao?
Passing through the crowded crowd, he stepped directly into a very grand shop at the innermost part of the city.
Jiang Yao, who came to the human city in a brocade robe and waving a folding fan in his hand, had an ordinary face, but his attire was not much different from those elegant young men that could be seen occasionally in Black Rock City.
"Shopkeeper, I have just bought a mansion and need to buy some slaves and maids to fill it."
"Do you have any good quality slaves here? Introduce them to me!"
The shops in Renshi naturally won't do other businesses, and there must be some force supporting them behind them.
At the moment, there were no slaves for sale in the shop. There were only a few strong men with surging blood, who were obviously warriors, chatting nonsense.
Jiang Yao folded the folding fan in his hand and shouted at those people.
"If you want to buy a slave, you have come to the right place by coming to us!" As soon as he finished speaking, a bald man stood up and came to greet him.
The bald man looked Jiang Yao up and down with a smile on his face. He continued, "Unlike the crooked ones out there, we only sell high-quality slaves here."
"Of course, good things won't be cheap."
"As long as you can afford it, we can also buy slaves at the warrior level."
……
Jiang Yao was stunned by these words, and then he felt his whole body brighten.
Meng Daniu, who had just entered the Leather Training Realm, entered Black Rock City and joined the Changhen Gang. He immediately became a small leader with an entire street as his territory, and could eat and drink delicious food every day.
This alone shows how high the status of warriors is in this foreign world.
Buy a few warriors and take them back as slaves? Jiang Yao had never thought of this before.
Seeing that the bald man spoke very logically and didn't seem to be talking nonsense at all, Jiang Yao tried to confirm, "Can warriors also buy and sell?"
"If someone who is not strong enough buys these warriors back, who can guarantee that they will be loyal to their master?"
"If loyalty cannot be guaranteed, then what is the use of these warriors? We can't keep them shackled and locked in cages as pets, right?"
Jiang Yao was indeed a little curious about this question.
After all, as warriors, even those at the lowest level of the Skin Refining Realm are far stronger than ordinary people. In addition, they are brave and aggressive and can kill people when they are angry.
Being bought as a slave is a great shame for any warrior.
As long as they regain the strength to resist, who can guarantee that they will not draw their swords against their masters?
"Sir, this should be your first time stepping into our store, right?"
"Anyone who has dealt with them knows that our Xiao family's slave-banning ring is unique in Black Rock City."
"The warrior slaves we sell are not only tamed, but also have slave-binding rings that can directly control their life and death."
"In addition, if any of our tamed warrior slaves defect, our Xiao family will be responsible to the end!"
……
The bald man explained, always with a bright smile on his face.
The Xiao family he mentioned was undoubtedly the Xiao family of one of the three major families.
Judging from what he just said, after their Xiao family sold the warrior slaves, they were actually able to provide some after-sales service to a certain extent.
"You have warrior slaves for sale here. Please take me over to have a look!"
"I really have to make sure they are tamed and can't pose a threat to me."
"I'll buy it!" After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yao nodded and greeted the bald man.
"Sir, I'm glad you're interested. It's human nature to look at the goods before buying them."
"The person is in the back room, just follow me!" The bald man smiled, nodded and greeted.
Under his guidance, Jiang Yao followed a passage behind the store and soon arrived at a place similar to a prison.
There are small houses next to each other. Along the wooden fence made of wooden pillars as thick as bowls, you can clearly see that there are people locked up inside.
"In the South City area, two small families were recently defeated in conflicts with hostile forces."
"The servants and family members in their mansion were captured by their enemies and sent directly to us."
"The men imprisoned here are strong and powerful, and the women are plump. Although they are not warriors but just ordinary people, they can all be called fine products."
"These people are very experienced in handling affairs in the mansion or serving people. If you are interested, buy a few and bring them back to the mansion. They will be able to get started quickly with the affairs in your mansion!"
While leading Jiang Yao forward, the bald man pointed at the men and women who were imprisoned in the small room and introduced them with a smile.
"Well! Let's talk about it later!" Jiang Yao nodded and responded with a smile.
Although he was more interested in warrior slaves, his newly purchased residence was such a large mansion that he would definitely need to buy some ordinary slaves and maids back home.
The men and women imprisoned here are obviously one or two levels higher than those guys in the outside market who voluntarily sell themselves into slavery.
Although he did not respond directly to the bald man, his expression and behavior showed that he was indeed somewhat interested in this group of people. Finally, the bald man stopped.
There were three people imprisoned in the small house in front of him and Jiang Yao.
A thin man, a burly man, and a little old man.
These people were completely naked, except for an iron collar around their necks that shone with a cold light.
"That old man has already entered the stage of bone training, while the other two are only in the stage of skin training."
"At present, there are only three of them left as tamed warrior slaves in our shop."
"After all, in Black Rock City, warriors have a much higher status than ordinary people. Even if our Xiao family doesn't have sufficient reasons, we can't arbitrarily capture warriors and sell them as slaves."
"I wonder if you are satisfied with them?"
……
Pointing at the guys who were in prison, the bald man introduced them and asked Jiang Yao with a smile.
"It's okay. As for the price..." Jiang Yao nodded and asked back.
Whether it is the Skin Refining Realm or the Bone Tempering Realm, the realm is a little lower, but no matter what, they are all real warriors after all.
He does want a warrior slave of a high level, but he has to be able to produce one.
"The two leather-training realm warrior slaves are two hundred jade coins each."
"As for the old man, although he is a little older, as a Bone Refining Realm, he is priced at 500 jade coins."
"The iron collars around their necks are our Xiao family's slave restraining rings. Later, I will tell you a secret method that will allow you to leave a trace of spiritual imprint in the slave restraining ring to control the life and death of these slaves."
"Also, I suggest that you pick out ten slaves and ten maids from among those ordinary people. I'll give you a discount and make it an even number. You can give me one thousand jade coins. What do you think?"
The bald man who had been paying attention to Jiang Yao's reaction saw him nod, smiled widely and quickly took over the conversation.
"One thousand jade coins?" Jiang Yao frowned and looked unhappy. He looked straight at the man and confirmed.
He didn't think the price was too high, but he thought it was too cheap.
After all, he still had more than 10,000 or 20,000 jade coins left in his storage space.
When he came to the Ren City, what he wanted was to spend the fake jade coins in his hand as soon as possible.
But now, he even bought three warrior slaves, plus twenty ordinary people, and the total cost was just one thousand jade coins. He was really a little dissatisfied with this in his heart.
However, when he thought of the value of jade coins, and then recalled the last time he stepped into the foreign world, he occupied the Blood Knife Village and searched the entire village, but it seemed that he did not find many jade coins. He suddenly felt relieved that a warrior in the Bone Tempering Realm was only worth 500 jade coins.
"Sir, you get what you pay for!"
"The slaves we sell here are a little expensive, but they are definitely worth the money."
"In addition, for the slaves you purchased, no matter what problems arise within one year, our Xiao family will be responsible to the end..."
The bald man who had been paying attention to Jiang Yao's expression and reaction seemed to have misunderstood something, so he quickly opened his mouth to explain.
But before he could finish his words, Jiang Yao interrupted him: "As long as the things are good, let alone one thousand, even ten thousand jade coins is no problem for me."
"Your Xiao family is famous in Black Rock City, but the strongest warrior slave you sell is only at the Bone Tempering Realm. This doesn't seem to be in line with your status."
"Let me ask you one question. Do you have any higher-level warrior slaves here?"
"It doesn't matter if it's not tamed yet. I can slowly train it myself after I bring it back to my mansion."
"If anything unexpected happens during this period, you don't need to bear any responsibility. I will handle it myself."
……
Looking directly at the bald man in front of him, Jiang Yao spoke slowly, word by word.
For him, the imitation jade coins in his hand would only be considered to have real value if they were all spent.
Otherwise, once the truth is revealed and the matter of the fake jade coins is known by all major forces, it will definitely be much more difficult for him to cash in the jade coins.
Nowadays, although he is dressed like a handsome gentleman, he looks unfamiliar in the eyes of others and is still an unknown person.
It is normal and not strange at all that if you have good stuff, others will hide it and not sell it to you, but only sell it to people with status and position.
Jiang Yao had no idea whether the Xiao family's shop was really like this. What he had just said was just a trick to deceive the bald man.
Seeing that guy was stunned and actually remained silent, Jiang Yao's heart moved, and he immediately added: "If it is really a top-notch product, the price is not a problem."
"If you think I'm not of high status and you're hiding the good stuff from me, then I can only go to other stores and continue shopping!"
"In this city, there are two or three stores of similar size to yours, as far as I can remember."
"As long as I have enough jade coins, I don't believe that I can't buy a top-quality slave!"
After saying these words, Jiang Yao prepared to leave. He even seemed to be unwilling to keep the three warriors whom he had just felt satisfied with.
"Sir, wait!"
A business worth one thousand jade coins is no small business. Seeing that the duck in his mouth was about to fly away, the bald man became a little anxious.
He flashed and stood in front of Jiang Yao: "If you can really come up with 10,000 jade coins, we still have a top-quality product that has not been tamed yet."
"But I can't make the decision on such a big deal. We have to ask our shopkeeper to come forward."
"Also, I can tell you some general information about that extremely good stuff. It's a woman, a very beautiful woman."
"More than two months ago, our Xiao family's hunting team found this woman in a barren mountain outside Black Rock City. Her internal organs were dislocated and her body was covered with hideous wounds."
"But even so, when we tried to capture her, one of our Xiao family members at the Blood Exchange Realm and three at the Organ Refining Realm died tragically at her hands."
"After being subdued, even with a slave ring around her neck, she was still wild and difficult to tame. She could never be completely tamed."
"A young man in the clan coveted this woman's beauty. He took advantage of her a little bit, but she didn't care about her own life or death and kicked him into a eunuch."
"It was sent to our store in less than half a month. A famous clerk was also killed by her because he was too close to her."
"For a woman with such strength and beauty, the clan felt it would be a shame to kill her like this, so they sent her to us to sell!"
"Sir, if you are interested in this girl and don't care whether she is tamed or not, and are ready to take her back to the mansion to train her slowly, I will go and inform the shopkeeper now and ask him to come over to discuss this big deal with you."
……
The bald man spoke for several minutes before he finished speaking.
He looked straight at Jiang Yao, waiting for a definite answer to the matter.
