We know, we know. We can take you there. Just don’t kill us!
The baldy on the right smiled and negotiated the conditions.
This is already the hunting range of the Five Wheel Sect. When we find their disciples, we will be able to find the Black Market.


Why is that?


Sir, I suppose this is your first time entering the Void Battlefield. The Five Wheel Sect is the sect which has set up the Black Market; they are also a big force here. They are businessmen who do business, so as long as there’s money, hehe…
The wretched baldy ingratiated and laughed.

This is a melee area. What kind of sect would dare establish a hunting range here?! You’re lying to me!
Garen’s gaze sharpened, immediately causing the two baldies to perspire more as they hurriedly explain.
The reason why the Five Wheel Sect dared to set up a hunting area was that they were a medium-sized sect in the real sense. Among the Energy Machinist sects in the Three Major Metropolis, it was also considered to be within the top thirty. All medium-level sects had a ranking position in respect of Nebula, Black Knife, and the magnetic field. Among the sects, Five Wheel Sect was ranked the thirtieth. It was necessary to know that there were no more than a hundred Medium-level sects on the planet of the Three Major Metropolis. Being able to rank thirty among this many medium-level sects was already very powerful.
Garen himself knew that the Scarlet Snow Sect to which he belonged was only a small sect and a local force. It could only be considered as a small shrimp1 in the Central’s Three Major Metropolis, and be included in the rank of small-sized sects.
After asking about the situation, Garen searched the two person’s belongings. Consequently, all the things on the two guys did not even add up to more than one golden crystal. They were poor to a certain extent.
Garen was speechless. He simply finished the two off with one slash each and continued toward the direction of Five Wheel Sect which they had mentioned.
In less than a dozen minutes, huge roars loomed from the black ground in front. It seemed like someone was fighting.
There was more than one black robe surrounding the fighting area. At least more than a dozen black robes were watching the battle.
In the middle of the battlefield, which was a white construction site, three people in white combat uniforms, male and female, were besieging a black-haired man with a V-shaped red print between the eyebrows.
Blue thunderbolts were constantly shooting out between the four people and the current would fall on the edge of the ground. The current, with only the width of a strand of hair, would actually blast out different basin-sized potholes.
The fighting moves of the four of them were extremely fast. The sounds of the thunderous explosions could be heard every time and it was terrifying. Just the force field that was emanated alone had reached Level Five and it caused a lot of the surrounding shop-like buildings to collapse. Dust and broken bricks were everywhere.

These are already the strongest trio. If Five Wheel Sect doesn’t dispatch any powerhouse, I’m afraid they will be overpowered by this guy!

The black robes were exclaiming praises while some of them were whispering.

Who asked them to offend the other person and have evil thoughts at the sight of the riches2? They wanted to take advantage of others, yet they failed to identify the other party’s hidden strength. Hehe. Serves them right.

When Garen went nearer, he saw that all the people in the black robes were just looking on and watching the fun. They were not afraid of offending the people from Five Wheel Sect and were teasing out loud.
There were also newcomers like him who had just arrived and were asking around quietly about what was going on. The meddlesome people by the side would begin explaining to them. There were few newcomers here while most of the people were veterans. It was obviously not their first time here. Some also called out to their old acquaintances when they saw one another.
Most newcomers only dared to move around in their own sect.
Garen did not say anything but only mingled in the crowd and watched the battle. Some of these people here did not bother to conceal their force field at all. The fluctuation of the resonance of the Half-Moon Level, Full-Moon Level, and even Two-Moons Level was not in the minority. Every one of them was powerful.
Garen made a comparison one by one and after some time, he found out that he was actually the weakest one.
At this moment, the red-print man flew into the sky and twitched his hand, conjuring a purple electric wheel. It crashed toward the remaining three and blasted them off. He coldly snorted and took the opportunity to catch and detain one person. He immediately turned around and flew off, leaving an extremely arrogant statement.

Five Wheel Sect, call your Senior Brother Carlos to retrieve your people. If you delay it, then bear the consequences yourself!

The figure of this person suddenly disappeared and leaped away directly.
A slapstick-fight had come and gone by quickly.
The group of people in black robes stood on the edge to watch the excitement. There was no one who lent out a hand. The Five Wheel Sect did not have a good reputation. It was not once or twice that people had got cheated by them when trading at the Black Market. Everyone was readily glad to see this sect suffer losses.
The few people who were left behind looked unsightly, but their eyes reflected thankfulness; thankful that it was not them who were taken away by that man.
Garen took it all in and knew that the sect cohesiveness of Five Wheel Sect was weak and that they were all selfish people.

What are you all doing here?! Break up! The Black Market Trading Center is all the way over that side. If you want to trade, then go. If you don’t want to trade, then leave!

One of them was in a bad mood and started chastised the circle of people who were watching around.

Hehe…


How imposing.


If you can’t beat others, don’t vent on us.

The group of people spoke unkindly and coldly as they dispersed. This actually made that person even more furious. However, he did not dare to take action as there were many people around.
Garen shook his head and followed the largest group of people toward the yurt-like white building on the right.
The black-robed people in front entered it one-by-one. They would come out very quickly and some would express satisfaction while some would shake their heads non-stop. Many of them remained silent and one could not figure out what they had done.
Although Garen did not know how to trade, he had nevertheless learned a little bit about it and its processes through Senior Sister Rainy.
Soon, all the people in front had gone in. When it was his turn, he also followed and went forward.
The moment he entered the white yurt, a light swishing sound was heard, as if he had entered into another space. The entire interior of the yurt was white. The walls were exuding a faint white light, but it did not give people a dazzling feeling.
In front was a pyramid-like white structure which was suspended in mid-air.
The surface of the pyramid had a clear palm print.

Please place your palm.
A cold electronic sound rang out.
Garen stepped forward and reached out his hand and pressed onto the palm print.
Instantly, waves of Willpower containing information rushed to the outside of his Energy Machine Imprint. It formed a ribbon-like shape and was slowly hovering, waiting for him to open his Energy Machine Imprint.
Garen slightly opened up the authority for information exchange in his Energy Machine Imprint.
‘The list of tradable items are as follow…’
A virtual list suddenly appeared before Garen. The top was divided into several categories.
‘Medicine
Experiments
Special
Others’
All four types of items were here. Garen used his consciousness as his hand and selected the most common one, Medicine, from the first category.
‘Yellow light wound medicine: Restore a small amount of Vitality and Willpower.’
‘Green light wound medicine: Restore a small amount of Vitality.’
‘Blue light wound medicine: Restore a small amount of Willpower.’
‘First-grade antidote: Suitable for the palliative and prevention of airborne toxins.’
‘Second-grade antidote: Suitable for the relief of minor poisoning.’
‘Three-grade antidote: Suitable for the relief of moderate poisoning.’
‘Emergency Bandage: Stop bleeding quickly.’
There were only such items in the ‘Medicine’, but at the end of the items, there was a line stating that ‘This kind of medicinal items have special effects in Void Battlefield. ‘
Garen was speechless. These things were of no use to him and the price of each item was very high. They were all priced at a thousand crystals.
He then changed to the ‘Experimental’ category, all of which were the kind of loot materials that were unique to Void Battlefield. For example, the essence of the poisonous bee colony was also available here. It was priced at a thousand crystals, which was simply a robbery!
Other available items also included the Void Essence of the Black Wind Birds, Snow Dragons, and Withered Bear. The rest were some very ordinary low-level Void Essence. Obviously, they were intended to be dedicated to the disciples of certain sects to accomplish their tasks.
Garen looked around and found that there were quite a lot of items in this category. Very soon, he found the Void Amoeba Essence which he needed.
‘Void Amoeba Essence: Level-Five monsters, fifty thousand crystals.’

That’s simply a robbery!
Garen was dumbstruck. If he had not grabbed Ron and Barlow’s space ring, it was deduced that his net worth was only enough to buy a little bit of this thing.
Clearly, the other party had accurately calculated the purchasing power of the buyer.

Forget it. Just buy a little.
Garen’s plan of coming here was not to go look for amoeba everywhere but to complete his own arrangements, which was to absorb the Power of Inheritance. However, it was better to stabilize his current plane first before absorbing it.
Once the Power of Inheritance was absorbed, his level would definitely advance again. However, he had just entered Level Five not long ago. Advancing in the short term might cause the foundation to be unstable.
The shortcomings of not grinding the Energy Machine Imprint enough would affect the future development.
Quickly buying a few Amoeba Essence, the few golden crystals Garen held in his hands disappeared right away, being instead replaced with a few black ores that were covered with a silvery starlight on its black surface.
After examining it and confirming that this was the Amoeba Essence needed for the task, Garen was too lazy to take another look and threw them into the space ring.
He looked through the purchasing list again.
After finished viewing the ‘Experimental’ category, he picked the ‘Special’ category.
The items in the ‘Special’ category was lesser than that in ‘Medicine’. There were only three kinds.
‘Bear Bile: New-Moon Level, Earth Bear essence. It can stabilize blood, flesh, and body. It is suitable for Energy Machinists with extreme techniques. One million crystals.’
‘Snake’s Eye: One of the thousand eyes on the back of the Void Serpent. The gene can be extracted for use. One million crystals.’
‘Caterpillar: A red caterpillar with poisonous stings on its backs. Eating it raw can help stabilize Willpower. Suitable for Energy Machinists who have just broken through a level. Six hundred thousand crystals.’
A lot of bids had already been made for these three items. The three current prices were the highest price levels.
Garen gave it a thought and added another price for the caterpillar, seven hundred thousand.
After that, he left it alone. He took out Ron and Barlow’s space equipment and put them beneath the virtual screen for valuation.
The valuation speed of the computer was extremely fast. It didn’t take more than two seconds before the necklace and the items in the ring were finished being appraised and a price was given.
‘A total valuation of twenty-four million crystals, convert to twenty-four golden crystals. Do you want to trade?’
Garen’s expression remained the same and confirmed it.
He had already reviewed each of the items in the two things. Although they were all rare items, the vast majority of these things were not applicable to him at the moment. Since they were of no use, it would be better to exchange them for golden crystals to purchase the things which he could use.
Seeing that the more than thirty golden crystals he originally had increased to more than fifty, Garen was in a much better mood.
Being rich really emboldens a person differently.
He looked back at the caterpillar and, since no one bid anymore, it went directly to his hand. The caterpillar option shown on the screen had also disappeared. Clearly, there was only one of it and after it was bought, there was not any left.
