Jia Yan strolled around this so-called free market.
For other beings that came to this city, it was a treasure-hunting ground, where items that had fallen here through various means were often sold at low prices.
Of course, the good stuff was still rare, and at this moment, the beings around were here to play or buy some common items.
"Lord, come take a look here, I have some good stuff,"
One after another, the vendors called out to Jia Yan.
The chances of a strong one coming here were not high, and such strong ones were the main customers for big businesses, not because they intended to rip off the customers, but because they had confidence in the purchasing power of the strong ones, knowing that most of the high-price records in this market were created by them.
"Let me take a look." Having nothing else to do, Jia Yan walked forward, responding to the vendor who had called out to him.
This vendor wasn’t really a petty trader; he owned a shop with a small space that Jia Yan couldn’t even enter.
"Lord, take a look, this is a powerful Smart Brain technology from the Northern Star Domain. This Smart Brain has extremely high intelligence, and it has a very unique function..." The vendor picked up an item the size of a fist, vigorously promoting it.
"Turn it on, let’s have a look," Jia Yan said directly, looking at the vendor.
"Erm, Lord, it’s run out of power, but I assure you it’s in perfect condition, if you can find the special charger. It would definitely be a formidable weapon,"
the vendor said somewhat awkwardly.
"So where can I find its charger?" Jia Yan asked curiously.
"Well... perhaps, Lord, you could try the Northern Star Domain?" the vendor offered an explanation that he himself felt was unreliable.
"To go to the Northern Star Domain just for this Smart Brain, I must have been kicked in the head by a donkey," Jia Yan shook his head and then, ignoring the vendor’s pitch, walked forward.
This "Northern Star Domain" mentioned by the vendor was a starry sky area that Jia Yan had come to know as part of his geographical cramming over the past few days. It was viewed by residents of Tianlong Star as being to the north. The area wasn’t far from Tianlong Star, merely separated by thirty or forty stellar systems. However, that region included about seventeen or eighteen stellar systems, home to over twenty countries or forces, perpetually embroiled in wars. Although far more powerful than Tianlong Star, many beings still fled here seeking refuge.
"It seems there are many so-called trash items flowing out from the Northern Star Domain here,"
Jia Yan reflected, having been drawn to several stalls but ending up empty-handed, finally realizing that it was unlikely these small stalls would have anything truly useful.
Of course, among those who crazily hunted for treasures here, there might be some ’trash’ collectors whose homes possibly had matching parts, or the treasure hunters were the vendors themselves who, upon finding matching items, struck gold.
There were successes every day, but there were more who spent their money in vain.
"Lord, we have an underground auction here, why don’t you come and take a look, they’re all good items!"
A creature resembling a tiny peacock approached Jia Yan and handed him a large promotional flyer using Brainwave Power.
"To advertise and still call it ’underground’..." Jia Yan looked at the creature, somewhat speechless.
However, he still glanced at the flyer.
"There really are some strange and unusual items indeed, and these items are all finished products, perhaps they’re matched up from that trash?"
After thinking, Jia Yan asked for the address from the little peacock and headed towards the so-called auction house.
After turning a street corner, the path narrowed slightly, but luckily Jia Yan was able to pass through.
"Lord, the auction house is here, Lord, come in and take a look." A tall Stoneman stood in front of what seemed like a not-so-small building, ushering customers in.
Jia Yan entered the auction house without much ado.
This was a building with a floor space of over fifty thousand square meters, but compared to Jia Yan’s size, it wasn’t so large.
He walked towards the corridor ahead.
"Lord, please come inside." A monster standing in front of a huge door, seeing Jia Yan’s arrival, quickly and respectfully lifted the curtain at the door.
Jia Yan peered into the space.
He wasn’t doubtful of the city’s public order; in fact, even if there were some ill-intentioned beings here, it was unlikely that Jia Yan would get hurt.
However, there were obviously no traps inside, and as Jia Yan entered the curtain, he saw a sparse gathering of a hundred or two hundred different types of monsters.
"Next up is a slave monster from the Northern Star Domain; this monster has Earth-level Peak combat power and will certainly be a great help to you, Lords."
In front of the assembled monsters, a host was spitting and expounding away. He resembled an elephant from Earth, with a long nose, but his mouth was filled with barb-like teeth, clearly not a creature of good intent.
Jia Yan listened as he referred to the creatures below as ’Lords’ and discreetly investigated, discovering that indeed all of those seated were monsters that had reached Sky Level. Perhaps if he hadn’t been emitting energy of that level, he might not have been allowed in.
However, Jia Yan didn’t feel proud; instead, he found a spot by the door, coiled up casually, his presence taking up the space of several monsters.
A creature resembling a horse appeared on stage, and upon scanning it with his detection abilities, Jia Yan confirmed it indeed possessed Earth-level Peak strength.
