142: Primary area, black market

Liyue City.

It is one of the nine main cities in the Eternal World's Novice Area.

At this moment, Ye Xiao, after some twists and turns, finally left the Novice Area and entered the Novice Area.

Unlike the Novice Area, although the territory of the Novice Area is even more vast than the Novice Area, there have only been nine main cities here for a hundred years.

These nine main cities are the only habitat for Human Job Holders in the Novice Area.

Of course, the number of Human Job Holders is in the hundreds of millions, and while these nine main cities are grand, it's impossible for them to accommodate so many people.

Therefore, between the main cities, there are also many temporary transfer points.

However, compared to the functions available in the main cities, these temporary transfer points only provide temporary rest and short-distance teleportation functions.

After a hundred years of development in the Eternal World, with NPCs withdrawing from this land, humans have completely occupied the main cities.

But besides the remote and relatively harsh environment of Winter City, the control of the other eight main cities is all in the hands of the Alliance Eight Great Families.

Each family controls one city.

This is also the origin of the name Alliance Eight Great Families and the reason they have stood strong for nearly a hundred years.

And at this moment, Liyue City, where Ye Xiao arrived, is one of the nine main cities managed by the Zhi Family.

It must be said that the number of Human Job Holders is indeed too large.

Before Ye Xiao even entered the city, he saw dense crowds of people several miles outside the city.

"Level 130 Misty Forest, lacking two tanks, high physical resistance preferred."

"Level 136 Archer seeking group, Agility over 5000 points, has learned rare skill Swift Arrow."

"Level 120 caravan needs 1 powerful clear-out damage dealer, efficient team, 500,000 experience per hour."

...Listening to the endless shouts around him, Ye Xiao felt quite fresh.

Compared to the Novice Area, the various actions of the Professionals here gave Ye Xiao a strange sense of familiarity.

However, he also understood that the Novice Area is divided into countless sections, and most Professionals can successfully reach level 90 and enter the Novice Area within a year.

As a result, the Novice Area has never been able to retain people for long.

The Novice Area is different; as levels increase, the leveling speed generally slows down, and even later on, if equipment and skills don't keep up, even grinding monsters will become difficult.

This phenomenon means that most Professionals need to stay in this area for a long time, and over time, the number of Human Job Holders in the Novice Area became the largest.

Once the number of Professionals is large, various related industries naturally emerge.

Therefore, at this moment, when Ye Xiao looked around, Liyue City appeared prosperous.

Normally, when Ye Xiao left his 702 Novice Zone, he should have entered the main city managed by the Zhao Family.

But the problem was that after the Rookie King's world announcement, Ye Xiao knew very well that the Zhao Family would definitely set up multiple checkpoints at the connection point between the Novice Area and the Novice Area. Why else would they do it?

So Ye Xiao was also in a dilemma.

Finally, the omnipotent Little Gold stepped in.

After understanding Ye Xiao's concerns, it directly allowed Ye Xiao to cross through the forbidden area it was originally responsible for guarding, entering the Novice Area from another Novice Area, and without needing to teleport from a specific connection point.

He only needed to use Little Gold's formation-breaking ability at the boundary between the Novice Area and the Novice Area to enter unhindered.

At the same time, Little Gold also told him that as long as it was there, Ye Xiao could return to the Novice Area at any time without any restrictions, not even needing a dimension dissociation stone.

Upon receiving this news, Ye Xiao was naturally overjoyed.

Not only could this avoid the Zhao Family's encirclement, but if he encountered an unbeatable enemy in the Novice Area, he would also have an extra retreat route.

This made Ye Xiao feel fortunate again for having subdued Little Gold.

The subsequent events became very simple, thanks to Little Gold, the local guide, leading the way.

First, led by Little Gold, he crossed the Dense Forest and arrived at the Novice Area controlled by the Zhi Family. Then, before others could react, he used Little Gold's power to directly break through the spatial barrier and arrive at Liyue City.

Thinking of how the Zhao Family was still setting up numerous checkpoints to pursue him, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile.

He wondered how long they planned to guard there?

He shook his head.

Ye Xiao temporarily put aside the Zhao Family's matter, and after admiring the grandeur of Liyue City, he quickly entered the city.

On the way, he also bought a map of Liyue City.

Following the map's guidance, Ye Xiao quickly arrived at a relatively secluded corner of the city, where Liyue City's black market was located.

This was Ye Xiao's first time here, so he couldn't help but look around, noticing that the entrance to the black market wasn't large, and there wasn't enough open space around it to accommodate the entire black market.

However, he wasn't too puzzled. According to the introduction, the black market in each main city is an independent space with powerful rules and restrictions within it.

Even a Nine-Cycle Professional would be unable to exert any power inside.

This ensured the absolute safety of transactions in the black market.

Ye Xiao came here, of course, to sell the godforged stone in his hand.

Ever since he unexpectedly obtained this godforged stone, every time Ye Xiao saw it, he urgently wanted to come to the Novice Area.

Although the Novice Area has a very convenient online exchange, the selling price has an upper limit, and selling it directly would be too much of a loss.

Furthermore, most of the items sold in the Novice Area are low-grade goods, so he had been holding back.

Now that he was in the Novice Area, he naturally couldn't hold back anymore.

First, he took out the bat mask he bought on the way and put it on his face. After ensuring that no information would be exposed, Ye Xiao unhesitatingly stepped into the black market.

As a burst of light illuminated.

Ye Xiao instantly appeared in an extremely spacious square.

The next moment, various noisy shouts came from his ears.

[Level 120 Warrior Divine Gear, come one, come all, don't miss out.]

[Rare skills on clearance sale, fair prices, open to slight negotiation if interested.]

[Leveling equipment, levels 90 to 150, everything you need, no scammers...]

...Before his eyes were rows of neatly arranged stalls.

As the sounds came, Ye Xiao walked and browsed.

At each stall he passed, the stall owner would enthusiastically introduce their goods.

Ye Xiao glanced briefly, only able to describe it as dazzling.

After browsing for a while, Ye Xiao originally wanted to see if there was a reference price, but found that no one was selling godforged stone.

Thinking about it, how could such a precious item appear on a street stall for a long time? Ye Xiao smiled and then came to an unoccupied stall in a corner.

--- ---

[Ding! Do you want to spend 10,000 eternal coins to choose to set up a stall here?]

[Hint: All transactions after setting up a stall will incur a 1% handling fee, which will be automatically deducted upon successful transaction.]

--- ---

Looking at the information displayed in front of him, Ye Xiao couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"So greedy! I have to pay 10,000 eternal coins before even doing anything."

However, Ye Xiao had no choice, after all, something like a godforged stone was not suitable for private transactions; it wasn't safe and was very troublesome.

So, after decisively paying 10,000 eternal coins, Ye Xiao immediately put the godforged stone on the stall, and then directly changed the stall's name to.

"Selling godforged stone, only one piece, first come, first served!!!"
