Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
Liu Ning looked it up on the internet; if he wanted to sell these things, he would have to go to This City's Secondhand Market. Liu Ning wasn't sure about other things, but just looking at These people here, there had to be over 100,000. Although other Vicious Beasts would eat their meat after a Vicious Beast died in battle, there were always those that slipped through the cracks.
Liu Ning was naturally unaware of the struggle within the Bai Family and had no time to get involved. Now, Liu Ning was thinking about dealing with some items. Although concocting Potions could make him money, he couldn't keep doing only that.
Although Hundred Herbs Hall could sell everything, Liu Ning didn't want to do that. He always thought about having multiple avenues to walk, rather than letting his economic lifeline be squeezed into a single path.
If there were any ups and downs, he wouldn't have much risk resistance on his side, which was absolutely unacceptable.
Liu Ning looked it up on the internet; if he wanted to sell these things, he would have to go to This City's Secondhand Market.
Auctions could certainly fetch higher prices, but they required all items to have a legitimate origin. Without a legitimate origin, an Auction House would definitely not put them up for bidding.
Using his smart device for navigation, Liu Ning soon arrived at the Secondhand Market.
Liu Ning had heard some rumors about this Secondhand Market. Originally, there were no such Secondhand Markets in the various Base Cities; only the auctions managed by the Garrison Headquarters were the places to sell things.
But later, people found auctions inconvenient. After all, only legitimate items could be sold there, so private trading markets began to form.
Of course, it wasn't on such a large scale back then; transactions were only conducted in some hidden places, and the transaction amounts were not very large.
Later, as the Base City stabilized, all sorts of things flowed into the Black Market. The transaction volume there began to grow, and many incidents of killing and looting occurred.
The Garrison Headquarters began to close the Black Market and did not allow the existence of the Secondhand Market. However, no matter how the Garrison Headquarters tried to close it, it would always spring up elsewhere.
Later, the Garrison Headquarters had no choice. Thinking that it was better to guide than to block, they could only designate an area and establish such a massive Secondhand Market.
Managing and collecting taxes in this place every year, they actually collected more taxes than the original auctions, which was something they hadn't expected.
Ever since the tax revenue here began to increase, the Garrison Headquarters installed countless surveillance cameras. On one hand, it was to forbid killing and looting, making the place safe so that everyone in the City would come here to trade.
On the other hand, it was also to monitor These people and prevent them from evading taxes here. One must know that a 10% transaction tax was a very large amount, capable of allowing the Garrison Headquarters to do many things.
The internet said the taxes here were immense. Liu Ning hadn't quite believed it at first, but after seeing this parking lot, he absolutely believed the tax volume here.
Nearly 500 cars could be parked on each floor here, and with a full dozen floors of parking, one could see how popular this place was.
Looking down from Liu Ning's position, the entrance was almost packed tight. If the entrance of the pharmacy was crowded, it paled in comparison to this place.
Liu Ning put the items in a bundle. Liu Ning didn't want to expose his Storage Space. Although the internet said it was absolutely safe here, it was better to be careful in all things. If people knew Liu Ning possessed a Storage Space, which was worth hundreds of millions, it was hard to guarantee that no one would take a risk. It was better to honestly use a bundle.
After coming up from the parking lot, Liu Ning saw many people entering with all sorts of things. These people all came by public transportation. They were either hoping to strike it lucky and sell some unknown item for a sky-high price, or their lives were truly unsustainable, and they came here to deal with the only things left in their homes.
Soon he reached the first-floor trading hall. It took Liu Ning 10 minutes just to enter. No credentials were needed for the first floor; as long as you arrived early and paid those 300 yuan, you could purchase a one-meter-long stall here.
As for going in to buy things, just paying that 50 yuan entrance fee was enough.
Liu Ning wasn't sure about other things, but just looking at These people here, there had to be over 100,000. From the entrance fees alone, there had to be five or six million every day. By building this Secondhand Market, the first floor alone could bring in a daily fortune for the Garrison Headquarters.
It was still a bit of a walk from here to the stairs leading to the second floor. Anyway, Liu Ning couldn't squeeze through, so he might as well look around as he walked. The first thing Liu Ning saw was meat; this wasn't the meat of ordinary poultry, but the meat of a Vicious Beast.
Don't look down on these things. If Ordinary People ate them, it would bring significant changes to their Physique. Of course, it had to be eaten long-term; eating it occasionally would show basically no improvement to an individual.
However, wanting to eat the meat of a Vicious Beast long-term was not something an average family could afford. Even for the lowest Rank, it would cost over 100 yuan per catty.
If it were slightly higher, it would be three to five hundred yuan. Bringing back each catty of meat from that place 5 Kilometers Outside the City would cost over 3000 yuan. Which of the Ordinary People could afford to eat that?
As for the meat of those War General-level Fierce Beasts, it would cost hundreds of thousands per catty.
It's said that some people even sell the meat of King-level Monsters. Converted to human Ranks, that would be Beings surpassing the War God. That kind of thing costs over a hundred million yuan per catty. Don't think it's expensive; there aren't many King-level Monsters in the whole world.
Liu Ning thought about their previous hunts; they had left such things Outside the City. No one would bring them back because they were simply too heavy.
With so much meat on them, if they were targeted by other Vicious Beasts, it would basically be a certain death. Moreover, this meat had a bloody scent that would attract other Vicious Beasts.
The reason so much meat appeared here was because of the emergence of Wilderness Search Teams.
These people didn't go into the Wilderness to hunt Vicious Beasts; they were purely there to collect these things.
Although other Vicious Beasts would eat their meat after a Vicious Beast died in battle, there were always those that slipped through the cracks. They specialized in collecting these leftovers, and their income was quite good.
Of course, there were other sources. For example, last time Liu Ning killed a Black-Horned Ant Outside the City, the whole Black-Horned Ant was brought back. The meat of a Black-Horned Ant wasn't worth much, but on this market, it was still 150 yuan per catty.
After wandering for a while, Liu Ning finally arrived at the stairwell leading to the second floor.
The second floor was different from the first floor. If you wanted to go up, you had to show your credentials.
Either you produce 50,000 yuan, or you produce an item worth 50,000 yuan. If you have neither, the guards will politely tell you to keep wandering on the first floor!
