Chapter 295

~6 min read 1,012 words

At that moment, the stench appeared again.

Zhao Chi had no other choice but to slowly walk over.

He walked extremely slowly, especially that step as he stepped into the septic tank.

Plop!

He fell in!

Holy shit!!?!

Zhao Chi didn't dare open his mouth, but cursed wildly in his heart.

Gu Qing also let out a short scream.

Originally thought they'd float on top and walk into some place, didn't expect they'd really fall down, what the hell??

But the next moment, they had already appeared in a dim plaza.

All around were lit torches.

The firelight's illumination range was limited, only able to see the general shape, unable to make out the details of the surroundings.

The ground was black earth.

Not exactly flat, but trampled very firm.

When the firelight shone on it, it reflected a greasy yellow light.

The sky was extremely black, without starlight or moonlight.

Even the walls and the blue light of the formation couldn't be seen.

That meant this wasn't the Great World, but another space.

There were very few people around, making the plaza look gloomy and empty.

He looked down.

His body was perfectly clean.

So that stinking septic tank was really a teleportation point — who had such a sick sense of humor?

But it was understandable.

Those noble lords would never come here at all.

The soldiers under the nobles couldn't possibly jump into a septic tank to verify it either.

And they hadn't gone through registration, so jumping in would only earn them a body covered in feces.

He opened the system; there was a return option.

Zhao Chi directly clicked return.

His vision blurred.

The stench came.

He opened his eyes again, and was back beside the septic tank.

His body was still clean.

The stench was coming from beside it.

But strangely, the small stone hut and that old man beside it were both gone.

As if they had never existed.

Zhao Chi quickly observed.

No one around, safe.

How to enter?

Gu Qing: 【How else to enter? Of course we still have to jump down】

Zhao Chi: 【You're braver than me, then you go first!】

Another jump, and sure enough, they arrived at that plaza again.

Then the real black market trip could begin.

Although this was a small plaza, there was only one path.

Zhao Chi followed the torches and pressed forward.

Before long, the torches became more numerous, and also a bit brighter.

Now he could already see the light ahead.

After walking a while longer, the road grew wider and wider, and the ground also changed from black earth to stone slabs.

The people on the road also gradually became more numerous, scattered here and there.

Everyone wore homemade masks, covering themselves up tightly, all afraid of people learning their identity in the Great World.

Gradually, more and more people appeared.

The surroundings also grew brighter and brighter.

On both sides of the road, people began setting up stalls on the ground.

They spread a piece of cloth on the ground, with various materials and props laid out on top.

Zhao Chi took a quick look — mostly odds and ends, small trinkets, nothing he wanted.

Further ahead, various shops appeared on both sides of the road.

The light here was very bright.

Every shop used Spirit Light Art for illumination, in various colors, giving a neon-light effect.

But the most common were still white light and yellow light, making the place look brilliantly lit.

For a dazed moment, Zhao Chi felt as if he'd come to a night market.

There were a lot of people here.

In front of the shops on both sides, quite a few people had set up stalls, and no one chased them away, letting them sell their wares wherever they pleased.

Gu Qing's exclamations of wonder had not stopped since a moment ago.

She was like a child who had never seen the world, finding everything astonishing.

Although she had no intention of disturbing Zhao Chi, the Ouerye Society would unconsciously take over control of the eyes.

The Guqingdou Society would always apologize, embarrassed.

Zhao Chi certainly would not blame her.

Zhao Chi 【Gu Qing, you control the left eye, I'll control the right eye, but let me control the body】

Gu Qing 【Really? Then okay!】

The two of them tried it, and it worked.

Gu Qing's two eyes were no longer in sync now.

The left eye controlled by Gu Qing darted around wildly, looking here and there.

The right eye controlled by Zhao Chi was relatively steady.

There were two purposes for this trip: one was to sell stockings and make money.

The other was to buy some practical props that could briefly boost combat ability, or production capacity.

Things like those self-selectable treasure chests were also not bad.

Being newly arrived, it was still best to play it safe.

He carefully looked at the shops on both sides.

Although this was a black market, all kinds of shops were present, looking every bit like a commercial street.

Exchange halls, weapon shops, armor shops, accessory shops, medicine shops, prop shops — all of them were there.

Restaurants, teahouses, brothels, inns, barbershops, bathhouses — none were missing either.

When Zhao Chi's eyes looked toward the brothel, his gaze automatically shifted away.

Zhao Chi 【Gu Qing, are you controlling the right eye now?】

Gu Qing 【My lord, don't look at those women, they're all so annoying】

Zhao Chi 【... I wasn't looking at them, I was looking at the building】

Gu Qing 【Don't lie to me, our two visions are shared】

Zhao Chi 【Alright, I won't look anymore】

Gu Qing 【Exactly, if you want to look we can go back home and look, aren't there so many women at home? Don't they look prettier than these women? Aren't the ones at home enough for you to look at?】

Zhao Chi 【Enough, enough, having you is enough, let's go to the exchange hall】

Gu Qing 【I don't believe it at all】

Zhao Chi found it amusing in his heart.
