Chapter 307
"Alright, I think I have a good feeling about you, Brother Niu. I'll give you half an hour to show me around the black market."
Niu Bawu never expected that this kid, who had seen through all the shady dealings, would still agree to play along with him...
He couldn't understand this thought process.
But that didn't stop him from instantly beaming with joy, hooking his arm around Jiang Yi's shoulder, and saying magnanimously:
"Okay, okay! I knew we clicked!"
“Brother Niu, my name is Niu Ba Wu. You should be polite and call me Brother Niu. If you don’t want to be polite, you can call me Ba Wu, or Xiao Ba or Xiao Wu.”
Jiang Yi was quite polite and still addressed him as Brother Niu.
The two chatted and laughed like buddies as they walked out of the hub.
"By the way, buddy, you're not also from the Bull Clan, are you? The Savage Bull Clan? The Manatee Clan? You can't be the even more noble Moon Gazing Clan, can you?"
The "Moon-Gazing Tribe" is actually a nickname for the "Rhinoceros Tribe".
Jiang Yi didn't respond to the discussion about racial backgrounds. Instead, he listened to Brother Niu's ramblings while looking at the black market tourist guide in his hand.
He had some basic understanding of the black market.
But this was indeed my first time experiencing a black market extravaganza.
The reason I came to the black market at 8 PM tonight is because of the Black Market Grand Ceremony.
Black market festivities are not held often, but when they are, they offer various benefits.
In modern terms, it's somewhat similar to e-commerce festivals like 618 and Singles' Day.
All the merchants stationed in the black market have a variety of promotional activities.
In addition, each black market extravaganza will also feature special events unlike those of previous years, usually held at midnight.
Oh right, speaking of midnight.
The time of midnight in the post-apocalyptic game does not vary by region.
Instead, the standard is uniformly based on "game time".
Within this black market environment, there is also a dedicated leaderboard that updates every midnight.
The list also has three parts—
The [Wealth Ranking] is a ranking of the wealth of all players within the black market area.
The [Consumption Ranking] ranks players based on their daily spending within a given region.
The "Money-Making Ranking" is based on the increase in a player's wealth on that day.
Simply put, consumption and making money are two different things: one calculates how much money is spent, and the other calculates how much money is earned.
And all of these are single-day statistics.
Generally speaking, the "Wealth Ranking" is something ordinary players can't even dream of, as it's basically monopolized by conglomerates that have long been based in the black market.
Even for players with connections and financial resources, it is extremely difficult to get on the list.
Players can try to compete for the [Consumption Ranking] and [Money-Making Ranking] in the future.
If you strive to be on the [Consumer Ranking], you will inevitably boost consumption throughout the black market!
Therefore, the profits behind the entire Black Market are terrifying!
This shows just how incredibly rich Que Yun really is!
What moved Jiang Yi the most was—
The top player on the black market leaderboard will always receive a special spin on the wheel!
Let's not even talk about whether he'll make the list tonight.
However, this black market has been developing for a long time, and over time it must have accumulated a large number of special roulette wheels!
As long as he finds a way to obtain the special roulette wheel...
Takeoff will be a matter of minutes!
Besides, without the Black Market Festival, it would probably not be easy for him to obtain the special roulette wheel.
The entire Black Market is actually divided into eighteen sections.
The eighteen intervals represent eighteen social classes.
Generally speaking, newcomers like Jiang Yi will most likely only be able to stay in the eighteenth interval at the beginning.
Gaining the qualification to go to the first zone will inevitably require a lot of time and effort.
However, during the Black Market Festival.
The class distinctions between the eighteen districts will be temporarily abolished.
Any player who can come to the black market can move freely between the eighteen zones!
This is what makes the Black Market Festival more attractive to players than a regular "e-commerce festival".
In addition, while Jiang Yi was looking at the tourist brochure, Brother Niu also gave him explanations and introductions:
"Actually, our black market has another hidden advantage—"
