Chapter IX Open Air Trading Conference

"Is it so cheap?" Zhao Qiankun was a little surprised: "I heard the little sirens singing something. I sing a song for no reason. How much traffic will it attract every day... I will raise her for ten or eight years, and it will be enough to earn a thousand dollars!"

"That's impossible!" Stanley shook his head and said, "Sizzy is a race that lives in the sea after all, and has a stubborn personality. It is difficult to survive when raised by humans. Generally, Sizzys used to perform in the song of Sizzy can only live for one to two years, so you will start looking for a buyer after a few months of performance..."

"Buyer?" Xue Lian said in surprise: "Is it common to buy and sell Siren here?"

"Yes! Many nobles will collect siren!" Stanley smiled and said, "There are occasional siren buying and selling in the big market. Generally, female siren who have handled the throat can sell about 100 gold coins. The quality of the siren song is relatively good. After performing and packaging here, it can usually be sold at a high price of 200 to 300 yuan! Today, this little siren is indeed the best, but it is not low to sell 1,000 gold coins..." As he said that, he patted Shifeng's shoulder: "That store manager probably looked at your infatuation, so he wanted to slaughter a fat sheep! If you really like her, I'll give you this thousand!!"

One thousand gold coins, for Master Stanley, it is just the funding to play fake games to please the goddess...

"No need!" Shifeng shook his head: "As long as Alice can get back to freedom, I will be willing to pay as much as possible! And the Marquis has already promised me that as long as I complete a hundred tower guard missions, I will reward me with one thousand gold coins, and I will use this money to redeem her!"

Zhao Qiankun patted Zhifeng's shoulder again: "I guess it's not that simple! Didn't you see the thief-looking look when you saw Stanley? Knowing your relationship with the Marquis, your status in his heart has changed from a fat sheep to a super fat sheep! I guess when you get the money, he will definitely list new reasons for you to add money!"

"No, we all agreed!"

"Do you have a document? Is there a contract?" Zhao Qiankun spread his hands: "How can you guarantee that there is nothing?"

"This..." Shifeng hesitated a little.

"Don't think about the ones that are missing!" Stanley smiled and said, "The time is almost over. The open-air trading conference has begun. Let's go to the big market..."

"Okay, okay!" Xue Lian raised her hands to agree, and after a whole afternoon, she finally started her favorite shopping session!

"I'm a little unhappy..." Shi Feng pouted and was unhappy.

"Oh, let's go!" Stanley pulled him over: "What kind of treasure can you find? If you make money, you can free your little siren in advance!"

…………

The nightlife in Liberty City has always been very lively, but it is basically an entertainment venue. Shops in large markets usually close one after another when the sun sets. However, today is different. With the light of the open-air trading market, the big market tonight is like a night market. The shops are brightly lit, and pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder, and there are noisy bargaining sounds everywhere.

Zhao Qiankun and his group of four walked in the market, looking at everything, feeling fresh and wanting to buy anything. Today, they were not allowed to bring cash, so they could only take the goods they wanted to trade, and the few of them prepared some valuable things.

Needless to say, Stanley went home at noon, changed his clothes, and all the things he wore were all good. He could buy a house with just a ring. Zhao Qiankun was not prepared, but today he stepped on the knife brought out of the Polar Castle.

When he fought with Huang Huzi, he was "seriously injured", so the knife was handed over to Xuelian for safekeeping. Later, when he went to the academy, the students were restricted from wearing weapons, especially those in non-samurai, so the knife was kept under the bed in the dormitory and never moved. This time he went home with Stanley and finally put it on his body.

In addition to this sword, Zhao Qiankun had killed many monsters before and also kept some souvenirs. Although he didn't know if it was worth it, if he met something he liked, he might be able to exchange it for something.

As for Xuelian, there are only some magic props that she carried with her. As for the Thorn Peak, this guy is the poorest, and there is nothing to change except the Thorn Sword.

"I said, you've used this sword for several years, right?" Walking on the street of the market, Stanley asked, "Do you want to take this opportunity to change it to another one?"

Shifeng hesitated for a moment. To be honest, although this sword is also considered a high-quality one, as his martial arts skills increase, he is no longer very good at it. He also wants to have the opportunity to change to a new one, but he may not have the spare energy to save money to redeem Alice now.

"How do you think of it with my knife?" Zhao Qiankun patted his waist: "I can't use a knife, this thing is just a decoration when hung!"

"Thank you for your kindness..." Shi Feng shook his head: "The sword is different, and there are still big differences in how to use it..."

There are really everything in this big market, from magic props to swords and armor, from jewelry and jade to rare materials, and even as Stanley said, there are also live animals and even slaves... but there are no ordinary goods such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, cloth, and food. Think about it, things that can be traded at any time outside can't be a big event...

"I said, everyone is bartering. Will they all use small and big mentality to use some worthless fakes to cheat people?" After a while, Zhao Qiankun didn't see anything dazzling and couldn't help asking.

"There are indeed a lot of fakes here!" Stanley nodded: "But correspondingly, there are also many babies!"

"Liberty City has no tax on the trading conference, and the list of banned goods has been relaxed a lot. Many commodities that are very expensive and require a lot of transaction tax will be tried today; and there are also those that are not convenient to trade in the usual way, and today they can be used to exchange them for those commodities that are convenient to cash out..."

"Inconvenient transactions?" Zhao Qiankun was more interested in this type of thing: "Come on, let's talk!"

"There is nothing to say..." Stanley shrugged: "Some medicinal materials that are strictly controlled, such as magical materials, and those that are not convenient to clearly mark prices... For example, an antique that looks ordinary but is actually priceless. It will definitely attract too much attention when it is marked at a sky-high price, which will attract too many attentions and easily attract covetous people. If you buy it this time, you can only attract those who know the goods. Bartering things is also convenient for trading, and it can also be tax-free, killing two birds with one stone!"

"There are quite a lot of tricks here!" Zhao Qiankun nodded: "It's really a bit dazzling!"
