Chapter 422: I’m Sorry, I’ve Accepted It (4)
With an idea forming in his mind, (Player Name) (M) immediately blended into the crowd and began wandering the black market.
The player backpack’s retrieve function was very discreet. It didn’t even require touching an item; as long as the distance between the player and the object was within half a meter, the item could be put into the player’s backpack through mental control.
The first target he set his sights on was a small equipment stall.
All the equipment here had been enchanted, their surfaces gleaming with magical spectral light. Enchanted equipment cost more than ten times the price of ordinary equipment, not only because the enchantment materials were expensive but also because there were very few outstanding enchanters in the entire North Continent.
At this moment, an exceptionally tall mysterious person wearing a cloak was comparing a tower shield from the stall.
(Player Name) (M) saw that this person had horns on his head and deduced that it was likely a Minotaur Warrior or a troll.
Regardless, he was almost three meters tall, so he definitely wasn’t human.
He’d start with this person.
He chuckled inwardly.
The mysterious person seemed very satisfied with the spiky tower shield and was about to pay. However, the moment he reached for his Space Ring, the tower shield vanished before his eyes.
The hand reaching for the Space Ring froze.
The atmosphere became somewhat stagnant.
A killing intent erupted from the mysterious person, and the stall owner was also in a bad mood. His cloak billowed without wind, revealing the bone-crushing saber entwined with blood light at his waist.
“Where’s the shield?” the mysterious person asked in a deep voice.
“That’s a question I should be asking.”
The stall owner didn’t back down. The vertical pupils under his mask flashed fiercely.
He thought this buyer was deliberately looking for trouble.
The action of reaching for the Space Ring must have been to put the shield away.
It had been a long time since the Underground black market encountered such a brave buyer.
He truly didn’t know his limits!
The Underground black market had an enforcement team, so the seller wasn’t afraid at all.
“Your Excellency, your behavior likely breaks the rules of the Underground black market. Are you not afraid of death?”
The transaction process in the Underground black market involved no conversation, so the sudden argument was extremely noticeable in the silent environment, and everyone’s gaze was drawn to them.
“What behavior? The shield I was looking at suddenly disappeared. I want to ask what your behavior is!”
The tall mysterious person was clearly stubborn.
Even when the seller brought up the black market rules, he didn’t flinch at all.
The air became even more charged.
(Player Name) (M) covered his mouth at the side, his heart blooming with joy inwardly.
It seemed like these two were just exchanging words and wouldn’t actually fight.
He considered it and decided to add some fuel to the fire.
So, he used his mind to lock onto an enchanted battle axe on the stall, which was very close to the tall Orc, and with a thought, he directly put it into his player backpack.
This scene not only stunned the stall owner but also the tall Orc.
“How dare you do such a thing!”
The stall owner exploded. He drew his long sword from his waist and swept it to the side, sending out a crescent-shaped Qi Slash of scarlet light.
The tall Orc was no pushover either. Facing the incoming Qi Slash, he didn’t dodge or weave. He drew two battle axes from behind and chopped downwards, shattering the Qi Slash.
The battle axes continued their momentum and smashed into the ground.
With a loud “boom,” the entire cave of the Underground black market shook.
This completely threw the Underground black market into chaos.
The stall owner also flashed to the side of the tall Orc, and they began to fight. The clashing of weapons was continuous, and the storm of iron light cut the surrounding stalls into pieces.
(Player Name) (M) knew the time was right.
He no longer hid and started moving among the nearby stalls.
Taking advantage of the stall owners and guests watching the commotion, he put all the good items identified by the system into his player backpack one by one.
Soon, the stall owners discovered that the good items they had displayed had disappeared right before their eyes!
“Where’s my Grurte Strength Potion? Who took it, hand it over quickly!”
“My Ruin Keys are all gone too! And three divine artifacts are missing!”
“Speak, did you take it! You were closest to my stall!”
…
Chaos began.
Various noisy shouts merged into one. At first, the stall owners were just angry, but as more and more items on their stalls disappeared, and the surrounding buyers all appeared to be denying responsibility, their tempers grew hotter and hotter.
Until one stall owner angrily swung his long sword at a buyer. Stimulated by the sight of blood, the anger in everyone’s hearts instantly ignited. Killing began. Stall owners and buyers fought fiercely, with various goods and merchandise flying everywhere.
(Player Name) (M) crouched under a table, continuing to search for treasures that had fallen to the ground during the brawl, and gradually moved towards the entrance that Kuruna had brought him to.
“Hurry, hurry, why did they suddenly start fighting!”
“Exactly, even the alchemy golem is smashed. Damn it!”
Familiar voices came from nearby.
They sounded sharp, comparable to a screaming crow, and the tone was panicked and anxious.
(Player Name) (M) gradually recalled.
Weren’t those the goblin brothers who had been very wary of him before?
He looked up and saw the goblin brothers also scrambling under the table, patting themselves all over as if checking if their items were lost.
Grolu Gold Coin: “The items are not lost!”
Grolu Silver Coin: “That’s good, that’s good!”
Grolu Gold Coin: “Take them out and see if they were damaged.”
The brothers didn’t have Space Rings.
Grolu Gold Coin took out a cloth bag and looked at it. The treasure chest inside was intact.
Grolu Silver Coin also breathed a sigh of relief, satisfied.
Only then did they finally feel (Player Name) (M)’s curious gaze.
The two goblin brothers also looked up.
Six eyes met, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
“Yo!” (Player Name) (M) raised his hand and greeted them.
“Boss, this person looks suspicious!”
Grolu Silver Coin’s expression was solemn. He whispered into Grolu Gold Coin’s ear.
“I can see that!” Grolu Gold Coin grasped the dagger at his waist, his fighting spirit soaring. He instructed Grolu Silver Coin beside him, “Later, you run to the left, and I’ll run to the right. This way, he won’t know who to chase and will fall into confusion!”
(Player Name) (M): “…”
The two goblins chattered in Goblin language so loudly that they really thought he couldn’t understand.
Grolu Gold Coin: “I’ll count to three, then we run!”
“Three!”
“Two!”
Before he could even count to three, Grolu Gold Coin bolted.
And the direction he ran wasn’t to the right as he had said, but to the left.
Grolu Silver Coin: “…”
Grolu Gold Coin’s move stunned him.
However, he reacted quickly and immediately stood up and ran to the left.
Unfortunately, both brothers were clutching the cloth bag, neither willing to let go. For a moment, they pulled each other back and, losing their balance, fell to the ground with a plop.
