Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 156 Prosperity and Order

"Your family is in much better condition now." Li Haisheng accompanied Yuanze outside the bed and watched them.

"Ah."

"Don't be so stressed all the time. You've done enough. Now it's up to me."

"Of course I believe in Master."

"Your arm will take about two days to heal. Go take a look at S01. It has changed a lot."

Yuanze nodded. Since Astra and the master had said so, he should slow down a little.

Soon, Yuanze arrived at the new street that Master mentioned. This was a newly built street, not very wide, but the management was very modern.

It is also the only street in S01 that allows legal stalls. Before setting up a stall, you can use any machine to scan the stall code. The monitoring will enter the stall owner's identity, and after the identity is verified, you can set up a stall.

This can be considered as a relatively variable way of managing the underground market. No matter what, things must be done according to the rules, and some desperate people will not be forced into desperate situations.

Along the way, few stall owners greeted Yuanze, probably because they saw that his arm was still in a bandage and his battle suit had turned into the most ordinary clothes. He looked very shabby.

However, Yuan Ze was not very interested in these things. He wanted to find a suitable opportunity to understand the situation here. Logically speaking, since the master mentioned it, there should be something interesting.

"Young man, would you like to see some medicine?"

"Wow, there are drug dealers here. Boss, do you have a license to sell medicine?"

Yuanze also noticed this stall. On the left was a cyber fortune-telling stall, and on the right was a snack stall. His stall was just a piece of rag and there wasn't even a decent stand.

"Oh, that's not the way it should be. If other pharmacies can get it, I can get it too. If other pharmacies can't get it, I can also get it."

Yuanze squatted down, picked up a few things on the stall, and started talking while looking at them: "You are quite cool."

"Well, I am just that arrogant, but customers are like gods, I dare not act arrogant in front of you. Tell me, what do you want?"

"You can see my arm. What do you think I need?" Yuanze thought the stall owner was quite interesting.

The stall owner stretched out his hand, bent his fingers slightly towards his palm, and moved his elbow back, motioning Yuanze to bring his head closer.

"News, huh?"

Yuanze retracted his head and nodded, and saw him take out a QR code, still rubbing the thumb and index finger of his other hand.

He smiled, pulled out an E-level source crystal worth about five or six thousand from his pocket, and stuffed it into his hand.

He was also an old hand, and his first reaction after getting the source crystal was to grab one side of his clothes to cover the source crystal. He looked at the goods and looked at the unprepossessing boy in front of him in surprise.

He knew that only a Source Warrior would use this thing to pay for it. Judging from its quality, it could be exchanged for at least three to four thousand. This amount of money was enough for him to splurge for most of half a year.

His attitude also became better, and he even used honorifics to address him. Yuanze saw that he was also very familiar with the rules of the underworld, and never asked about his background from beginning to end.

He said that before the super-large beast tide, these people could not get these high-end goods in the underground market at all, and could only obey the gangs rooted in the slums and barely sell some junk to make a living.

After the beast tide, there were many more medical devices and high-grade medicinal materials of unknown origin on the market, and illegally modified combat equipment and special potions were also very popular among source warriors.

So don’t be fooled by the fact that they are all selling ordinary mass-market goods. In fact, they are all guides for certain forces, and some of them will not even take you there unless you give them a secret signal.

"Yes, sir, please take a look."

The stall owner pouted and tilted his head to the right, indicating Yuan Ze, "The owner of the snack stand is an illegal weapons seller. The guy selling gems to the right is actually selling rare materials. The guy across from me who sells medicine like me is actually selling banned drugs..." "Okay, I don't care about these. Do you know what new trends are happening in society recently?"

Yuanze saw that the stall owner was obviously hesitant, so he stuffed another small piece of Yuan crystal into his pocket.

"Oh oh oh! How could I forget?" The stall owner suddenly shouted crazily, and no one around cared about him.

"Oh, the lives of ordinary people are getting harder and harder. You are used to a good life, so you probably don't know that the prices have risen sharply recently. The prices of water and food have all skyrocketed..."

His words were full of disdain. He said that the authorities wanted to rectify the black market and release normal market order, but it was always a lot of noise but little action. They would receive the news the day before the inspection.

Correspondingly, countless people were speechless, and many turned to the dark web for communication. This is also the reason why illegal modifications are particularly popular here, and even many ordinary people come to buy them.

Of course, the forces behind the underground market are now a bit too extended. Countless citizens who can't make a living have joined them, and the market is becoming more prosperous day by day.

He said a lot, and at the end he added: "Of course, I might die tomorrow, so I'll live one day at a time. Sir, don't take it seriously."

"Is there any other place I can go to get some information?" Yuan Ze stuffed another small piece of source crystal.

"The Old Fox Bar, a pub, has a mysterious guy called 'The Moneylender'." The stall owner smiled and said no more.

"Just consider this as a gift to me." Yuanze picked up a piece of black medicinal mineral and put it in his pocket.

"Okay, I'll just close the stall for today." The stall owner smiled and watched the rich man walk away, and he was very happy.

He quickly packed up the things on the stall and left in a flash.

He turned into an empty alley, rubbed his hands on his clothes, and counted his gains that day.

"It looks like I can probably get five or six thousand. This is much better than what I've seen before. It should be more than seven thousand, maybe even eight or nine thousand..."

"Hey, who's taking a picture of me?"

He turned around and found that it was the old man who was setting up the cyber fortune-telling stall on the left.

The old man tried to persuade me when I was looking for a stall early in the morning. He said the feng shui here was good today and told me to set up the stall there.

"You're quite good at this, old man."

He looked at the thin old man in front of him. The upper edge of his robe covered the upper half of his face, and his beard covered the lower half of his face. He could only vaguely see the lower edge of his sunglasses.

"Do you want to calculate whether I will give you the money?"

"I don't want money."

The stall owner was a little stunned, as if he didn't understand what the fortune teller was going to do.

"God will take your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man covered his heart and looked at the old man in disbelief.

“Help…help…help me!”

The old man watched him fall down indifferently, and only left after he was sure that he was dead.
