Only I Can Enter The Hidden Dungeon - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Tracked

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Qingqing briefly explained the situation in the black market.

She summarized it simply…

Those without capability yet possessed many precious items were like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in the eyes of others.

Ye Tianyu didn’t refute because she was right.

Perhaps in real life, modesty was a virtue.

But in the black market, modesty was undoubtedly an act of courting death, especially when you had something valuable on you.

If one showed fear, after leaving the black market, there would be people squatting at the entrance waiting to kill and snatch their treasure.

Just as the two of them were conversing, a man wearing leather clothes walked down the stairs.

“Since the two of you have a huge deal, please come up and discuss it in detail!”

On the second floor, the man directly asked Ye Tianyu about the items he wanted to sell.

Ye Tianyu did not hesitate. With a wave of his hand, he took out most of the items in his backpack and piled them into a small mountain on the empty space on the second floor.

These were the items he had obtained from the creatures in the Grade A dungeon.

There were magic crystals that had a blue glow and some high-grade items and materials…

It was a glow that only emitted from Grade B items.

The pile of items in front of him stunned the middle-aged man!

There were at least a hundred magic crystals and other materials.

To him, this was not a small transaction!

“Sir, did you obtain these items from conquering the dungeon?” The middle-aged man put on a smile and asked while rubbing his hands.

“Mm? What does that have to do with you?”

Li Qingqing put her hands on her hips and stared into the other party’s eyes questioningly.

In the black market, no matter what item it was, one could not ask for the reason or inquire about the identity of the seller.

This was a taboo, as well as an established rule.

Perhaps it was because he saw such a large number of items, yet only two people had come to trade, the middle-aged man did not abide by the rules.

This was also why Li Qingqing had questioned him.

“There’s no need to say anything else. You just need to tell me how much these items are worth.” Ye Tianyu snorted and urged the other party to judge the value of the items.

Such a transaction did not have to be completed in this shop. If the other party dared to play tricks, Ye Tianyu could go to the next shop to trade.

The other party clearly knew this as well, so after seeing their displeasure, he didn’t ask further.

With an apologetic smile, he turned around and called for a staff to check the items on the ground.

Ye Tianyu and Li Qingqing walked to the side and watched them do the inventory check, in case the items were swapped out.

Soon, the middle-aged man walked over with an account book.

“Esteemed guests, everything has been checked.”

The middle-aged man was the boss of this shop. At this moment, his face was filled with a fawning smile.

One had to know that if he had sold this batch of items in his shop, he would be able to earn a lot of profit from it.

He cleared his throat and reported.

“There are a total of 183 Grade B magic crystals and one Grade A magic crystal here. The remaining materials are worth 5 million. There are 21 pieces of equipment, and the range of their grade is around Grade B…”

“The total value is 123.5 million.”

“Wow! So much money?” Li Qingqing couldn’t help but exclaim.

It was said that it was easier for high-level mutants to earn money than to drink water.

She finally witnessed it that day.

Ye Tianyu frowned slightly but didn’t say anything.

“Esteemed guests, are you going to exchange everything for gold coins? Or do you want to exchange for other items?” The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed with a strange glow, but he quickly concealed it.

“There’s no need for that. Exchange them all into gold coins!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Please wait!”

The middle-aged man waved his hand, and a few people in black robes carried a few bags of gold coins down from the third floor.

Gold coins had a higher exchange rate than currency.

If it was in the Mutant Association, he would not be able to exchange for 100 million. But here, it was exchanged for 120 million and they were in gold coins. No wonder so many people liked to trade in the black market.

However, Ye Tianyu did not intend to stay for long.

This was because he knew that this boss was not as kind as he looked.

After obtaining the gold coins, he pulled Li Qingqing and left.

After they left, the smile on the middle-aged boss’s face gradually disappeared. He waved his hand for his subordinate to bring the phone over.

“Hey! There are two fat sheep in the shop today. They should be here for the auction too. I’ve already sent people to watch over them… After the auction ends, bring your people over. We’ll work together then…”

An aged voice came through the phone, seemingly very interested in this.

However, his laughter was very creepy, like the sound of a crow.

“In that case, how should we split the earnings this time?”

The middle-aged man sneered and said, “Same old rules, 50-50!”

…

On the other hand.

After leaving the shop, Ye Tianyu dragged Li Qingqing through the streets in a disorderly fashion.

This made Li Qingqing question his motives.

But after turning a few streets, they finally returned to their residence.

Only then did Ye Tianyu tell her what happened.

It turned out that ever since they left the shop, someone had been following them.

In truth, Ye Tianyu could guess the other party’s identity even without revealing anything.

How could it be such a coincidence? They had just revealed a large amount of wealth when they were targeted.

The boss of that shop was highly suspicious. Perhaps he had sent people to follow the two of them.

After Li Qingqing knew what happened, a ball of fury rose in her heart.

If Ye Tianyu hadn’t tried his best to stop her, she would have gone to confront the store owner.

After what had just happened, they were now on their guards.

In order to avoid further trouble, the two of them rested in their rooms, planning to wait until the auction began before taking action.

The black market was very lively.

Because that night’s auction not only attracted the mutants from City H, but also the mutant from the neighbouring City L.

It could be said that that night was the most lively day for the black market.

The sun slowly set and the moon slowly rose into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it was night.

Ye Tianyu and Li Qingqing ate some simple food before packing up and heading to the castle where the auction was being held.

In order to shake off the people who were tailing them during the day, the two of them even changed their outfits. The skull mask on Ye Tianyu’s face had already turned into a jade-green devil mask.

There was no need to ask anyone about the location of the auction. Along the way, there were many mutants rushing to the auction. As long as they followed them, they would be able to find the location.

Ten minutes later.

Soon, the two of them arrived the inside of a massive castle.

After they showed their assets to the guards, someone brought them to a private room.

Inside the private room, one could clearly see the scene outside.

The high platform in his line of sight was the stage for the auction this time. By the time, someone would display the auction items on the screen, and the auctioneer would explain and announce the rules.

They separated the auction items from the customers to prevent any chaotic situation.

It had to be said that the auction in the black market was rather well thought through. This showed just how precious the auction items were that day.

“What do we do next?” Li Qingqing curiously looked around the room and asked Ye Tianyu without turning back.

“What else can we do? Let’s take it one step at a time!”

Ye Tianyu shrugged at Li Qingqing’s casual question.

He naturally did not come here just to satisfy his curiosity.

“I hope this auction will bring me some surprises!” After Ye Tianyu said that, he sat on the sofa and closed his eyes in deep thought.
